Harvey York chuckled.“You know quite a bit about her.“The Locke Financial Group is close with the John family.“Rumor has it that Karina Joyner and Blaine John were previously involved.“I don’t know if it’s true, but that should be enough to show the relations between the two families.“Another thing. Karina’s projects and businesses always seemed to lead back to both the John family and the Wright family.”Harvey squinted.“Emery Wright?”Kairi Patel nodded.“There are signs of him being involved, but there’s no solid proof.“After all, nobody would dare accuse a royal family without any evidence.”“We live in modern times now. What’s the point of calling them that?“If he’s involved with America…“I guarantee that he wouldn’t even have a status by this end.”Kairi was shocked by Harvey’s words before she cautiously looked around.“You can’t just say things like that in public, Harvey.“There are ears everywhere.“Besides, you should be careful of Karina.“That wo
Harvey York had no choice but to get in the car.Arlet Pagan stepped on the pedal, and the car sped off.“Have you heard of the suspension bridge effect, Harvey?” Arlet asked with a smile on her face.Harvey froze.“What does that mean?”“When two people walk on a suspension bridge, they’ll mistake their tension as feelings for one another.“Simply put, it’s a lot easier for two people to have feelings for each other in a dire situation.“Say, if the Ferrari loses control while driving at seventy miles per hour…“Would you develop feelings for me before we both die?”A stoplight was seen straight ahead.Arlet stepped on the brakes before staring at Harvey with her eyes lit up.Harvey felt his head aching. He was just about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.A red dot glided past the windshield.Harvey furiously pressed down on Arlet’s smooth thighs.Arlet was completely shocked by the advances.“You can’t just do that if I’m the one who confes
Harvey York instinctively unbuckled Arlet Pagan’s seat belt, completely ignoring the fact that he had touched her in several places already.Then, he pushed the door open before jumping out with her.The two rolled along the road.A loud explosion was heard when the car exploded into smithereens. The wave of air instantly pushed Harvey and Arlet to the side.Bang bang bang!A few more gunshots were heard.Harvey managed to evade the shots, but Arlet grazed her shoulder.Arlet shrieked in pain. She was on the verge of tears.Harvey carried her behind a pillar, then tore off a piece of his clothes to bandage her.“Call Prince Gibson. Tell him to get his men here.”Then, Harvey rolled on the ground, dodging two more bullets before he dashed toward the building not far away from him.The sniper knew Harvey was going after him next.Arlet would surely be safe if she left the place immediately.Bang bang bang!The sniper started to show off after seeing Harvey’s movements. He f
Bang bang bang!The sniper became a lot more agile with the longer bullets.Harvey York hopped right into a room on the bottom floor before sending a door flying with a kick.The sniper glared disdainfully when he waited for Harvey to peek out.His face darkened instantly. In the corner of his eye, he saw that the door landed right on the floor under him.Harvey had already made a blind spot for himself.“Bastard!“How is he that good?!”The sniper was planning to escape. After all, he would be at a disadvantage if he fought at close range.But before he could get to the stairs, Harvey had already shown up when he threw a kick.The sniper instinctively swung his rifle, trying to deflect Harvey’s kick.Bam!The rifle split in half.The sniper stumbled back when he discarded his broken rifle, then pulled out a revolver and aimed the barrel at Harvey.Harvey stopped in his tracks before clapping his hands with a curious look.“You’re American?” he asked.“Did Karina Joyner
After sending Arlet Pagan to the hospital and calling a few experts from Heaven’s Gate to care for her, Harvey York returned to the Fortune Hall.Prince Gibson had been waiting for the longest time.He poured a cup of tea for Harvey before speaking.“That bastard told us everything, Sir York.“He calls himself K. He said that he’s the best sniper in America.“He’s impressive even among the genetically enhanced soldiers. He can see a fly ten thousand feet away from him with his naked eyes. He could also tell exactly when a fly was flapping its wings.“He doesn’t miss exactly when because he sees that well.“What a shame that he bumped into you!“Another thing. He was ordered to kill you by Karina Joyner.“You completely disrespected her back in the restaurant.“That was why she immediately dispatched the soldier after you.”Prince briefly told Harvey everything he found out during the interrogation.It was not that far off from Harvey’s deduction, but it was enough to prove
Domino took the safety off his rifle, looking fierce.Harvey York sipped his tea without even glancing at Domino.“And what if I refuse?”“Refuse?”Domino chuckled before pulling the trigger at the curtain Harvey just put on.Bang!A hole was clearly seen on the curtain. Harvey was utterly devastated by the sight.That thing was millions of dollars, after all!“Each of those cost fifteen million. Remember to pay up before you leave,” he said bitterly.“You want me to pay?!Domino wretchedly chuckled before shooting an antique vase in the main hall.Bang!The vase shattered into pieces.“Enough yapping, Harvey!“Bring us the man right now!”Prince Gibson squinted.“These people are pretty cocky…“Why don’t you step back for now? I can handle the situation.”“Step back?“We’re good citizens with certificates.“Why should we step back when there are people barking as they please before us?“Call the cops.”Prince’s eyes twitched.“Sir York, you know that the first-i
Vroom!More sounds of car engines were heard during the standstill.A few police cars were parked right outside the Fortune Hall.A group of inspectors with loaded firearms strode inside.Capri John, who was wearing a white uniform, proudly stepped forward.“Stop!” she exclaimed before even looking at what was happening.“You bastard!“Don’t you know that this is Golden Sands?!“That filth, Soren Braff, isn’t the first-in-command of the police station now, you know?!“I am nothing but fair and just!“Even the king won’t get a pass for committing a crime!“If you’re going to murder with firearms, you…”Capri suddenly stopped talking.She saw Harvey York was the one being pointed at with firearms.Harvey committing murder?Catching him red-handed?This was not the case at all!Domino was stunned with an expression of disbelief.Karina Joyner told him the government would not get involved even if the Fortune Hall were burned down.Why did the police show up then?Even
“A misunderstanding?Harvey York showed a curious look.“Do you even know these people, Director Capri?“If I remember correctly, without legal documents, possession of firearms is a huge crime!“The people would either be executed or thrown behind bars for the rest of their lives!“The ones conspiring with these people would also get the same sentence!“With your intellect, I’m sure you wouldn’t work with people like this, right?“Or are you saying despite the front of a saint that you’re putting up…“You’re actually scared of a bunch of outsiders?!“Maybe you’re even having some heinous deals with their superior!”Then, Harvey glanced at Prince Gibson.“You got everything?“If not, I’ll repeat everything later.”Prince smiled.“Don’t worry, Sir York! I’m also ready to upload everything!“If anything happens, the footage will be online anytime!”Harvey gave a nod.“That’s good!“As law-abiding citizens, I’m sure the director can understand using such methods to prote
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
