“Ms. Kairi. Someone sent you a package. Seems like same-day delivery.”The office door was pushed open, and Korbin Patel walked inside.All five major branches of the family were under the main branch’s control.But because of the current situation, the other princes made all sorts of excuses to return to their homes.Korbin was the only one who stayed to support Kairi Patel.As for Elias Patel, Kairi would not use the ace up her sleeve unless she was truly desperate.“You don’t need to do all this, Prince Korbin. I do have people who do that for me.”Kairi showed a strange expression after glancing at Korbin.The entire family realized Harvey York was only pretending to be Kairi’s fiance.That was why Korbin constantly tried to be on Kairi’s good side.Kairi did not know how to feel about that.After all, it would be wrong to assume since Korbin had yet to make any clear advances.“I’m the vice CEO here. Ultimately, I’m here to support you.“I’d be worried if I let someon
Kairi Patel looked horrible.“Do you think I’d accept your conditions just because of your threats?”“Threats?Westley Wright let out a chuckle.“You must be mistaken!“I’m only professing my love!“I’ve researching your past the best I could!“Your classmates, friends, and the best friend who turned against you…“These people come from all over the world, and they don’t even know your true identity…“It’s a little challenging to find them that way!“I’m planning to send all of them invitations for our event.“They’ll be rewarded with a hundred and fifty thousand dollars each.“Either they attend our wedding, or they turn into corpses…“How would you choose, Ms. Kairi?”Westley’s calm words were filled with an unbridled cruelty.He was not expressing any threats, yet a murderous intent could still be felt.“Do you think I’d follow your bidding just because you’re threatening me using all these people?”Westley burst out laughing.“As expected of the Poison Fairy!“I
Kairi Patel looked at Korbin Patel before she spoke.“Right. Even if nothing was done after we called the authorities, at least Dragon Cell or the Dragon Guards would intervene.“Dragon Palace will also assist the ships in the Carribean…“But, in reality, there’s no point.“At any rate, Westley Wright wouldn’t be locked behind bars just because of something he said over a phone call.“We’d only make him more arrogant and fearless!“It’s better if we deal with the source of the problem.Korbin briefly pondered about the situation.“Indeed. It’s better to cut off the snake’s head anyway…”Kairi quickly changed the subject.“Do we know Westley’s weakness yet?”“I’ve looked into it,” replied Korbin.“He’s Emery Wright’s trusted subordinate. His biggest support is naturally Emery’s trust.“After all, the Wright family has an extraordinary status. Only a selected few would have Emery’s respect.“If Westley were to lose Emery’s trust, he’d be no different than a stray dog.“Oth
On the next day, in the evening. A Ferrari 488 was parked in front of the Fortune Hall.When the car window rolled down, a beautiful figure was seen casually pressing on the horn.Harvey York came out in casual clothing before pulling on the car door.“Westley called again.“He said he prepared a surprise for me.“He wants me to be there on time.“He seems pretty confident…”Kairi Patel glared disdainfully.In her mind, she would rather die than let Westley Wright take advantage of her.Harvey casually took a sip of soda from the passenger’s seat before pondering about the situation.“Since he’s that confident, then that means he’s prepared.“Looks like we’ll have a big show happening tonight.”Kairi cracked a smile.“What? Are you scared?”Harvey glanced at Kairi’s waist before noticing the outlines of a firearm but chose not to say anything about it.“If I’m fearless enough to help you deal with the situation…“How are you planning to thank me next?” he asked with a s
“Let them go?Westley Wright raised his head, showing an odd smile with a hazy look.“I never captured them in the first place.“But don’t worry…“When we’re done with our wedding, they can leave with the money in their pockets.“Maybe if I get into a good mood, I’ll buy them a house in the cities they live in so they wouldn’t need to work so hard for the rest of their lives.Westley set his glass down before talking again.“You’re doing them a huge favor here!“Attending a wedding for this many benefits…“This is a blessing for them!”Kairi Patel frowned with a horrible look. She did not expect Westley to pull anything like this.“Who’s that behind you? Didn’t I tell you to come alone?”Westley glanced at Harvey York, but did not recognize him since he was quite far away.“Are you worried I might need help playing with you when I run out of breath?“If that’s the case, then there’s no need.“The women beside me are the best at doing just that!”The women beside Westley
“Your man?Westley Wright let out a sigh.“Do you really think I’m that stupid?“Everyone knows he’s the live-in son-in-law of the Mordu family.“And you claim he’s your man?“At least find someone more appropriate for that!“I’d only doubt your intelligence at this point!“Besides, it doesn’t matter if you have a man.“Don’t tell me I can’t have your heart even if I have your body either…“I don’t care if I have your heart.“I only want your body. Do you get what I mean?“Now that you’re here, you have no choice but to obey me!“Do you understand?!”“I came here today not because I’m scared of you, Westley,” exclaimed Kairi coldly.“I only want the innocents to be safe.“If you hurt my friends, then I’ll have to fight you to the death!”“Is that so?!Westley looked confident.“Are you even worthy?!“You think you can actually go against me just because you have Harvey’s support?!“Dream on!”Then, Westley squinted at Harvey.“For the sake of the Jean family, I wo
‘He slapped Young Master Westley in the face?’‘And he’s prepared to give another?’Those words were enough to shock everyone’s spirits.Westley Wright seemed horrible. He did not expect Harvey York to reveal all this before everyone without the slightest hesitation.This was no different than blatantly disrespecting him.Kairi Patel looked profoundly at Harvey.She knew he was ruthless, but she did not think he would disrespect Westley to this extent.The beautiful women were shocked.In their narrow minds, the Wright family represented absolute authority.Who in the right mind would dare go against the family in Country H?Not only was Westley from the family, but he was also Emery Wright’s trusted subordinate!It was safe to say that he was in line to resume Emery’s position in the future.It would not be exaggerating to say that he had a bright future ahead of him…And yet Harvey could not even be bothered.Judging from Westley’s look, everything Harvey said must have
“Are you scared now, Harvey?Westley Wright seemed quite proud when he saw Harvey York frowning.“Let me tell you something! I thought I was lowering my standard by going against a small fry like you…“If that weren’t the case, you would’ve been dead by now!“Break your legs, or I’ll get my men to break them for you! Pick your poison!”“Sorry, but I still have a lot of things to do with my legs,” Harvey promptly replied.“I’m not going with either of your choices.”Westley gave a cold chuckle.“You have no right to not choose!”Harvey smiled at Westley.“But I do.”“Come! Tell me what gives you the right to do that!” exclaimed Westley in a gloomy tone.“Let me hear it!”Harvey squinted.“I can tell that you injected yourself with enhancement drugs from America to further your martial arts.“You did seem to get a lot stronger, but I’m guessing they left something else in the drug for you to get addicted to it.“You’d need to be injected with the drug every single month.
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
