‘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.
“People who know this must die?Harvey York smiled.“If I’m correct, Emery Wright probably knows about this too.“Even if you never told him, he still knows.“After all, if a man trying to take the throne doesn’t know his trusted subordinates inside out, he wouldn’t be able to survive for this long.“Simply put, Emery knows he’s keeping a ticking timebomb.“You think you can hide this from the others, but Emery’s probably just exploiting his connections with America.“When he finally rises to power, you’d probably disappear from this world as a dark history.“Do you think you can actually take control of anything?“How naive!”Harvey’s remarks were disdainful.Westley’s eyes constantly twitched.“You’re pretty impressive to see this. No wonder you got Blaine in this much trouble.“But let me tell you something! What if Young Master Emery was the one who supported the idea of my injecting the drug?“You don’t understand the kind of relationship that we have!”“I couldn’t
“So what?Harvey York smiled before stepping in front of Westley Wright.Then, he reached out to pat Westley’s face before speaking.“Your threat has no meaning to me.“If you go for anyone close to me, I’ll make you regret coming into this world.“Give up already!”Westley furiously stood up when he tried to slap Harvey in the face.Slap!Even before he could make contact, Harvey managed to slap his face first.Westley stumbled back before showing utter disbelief.He did not think Harvey would be as fierce in such circumstances.He had a dozen genetically enhanced soldiers with him!‘Doesn’t he realize how strong these soldiers are?!“Kill him!” exclaimed Westley.He furiously made a gesture after that.The soldiers, with strange looks, charged forward.Some instantly grew sharp fingernails, a few grew fur from their faces, and others were seen with glowing green eyes.These genetically enhanced soldiers had some beastly characteristics. Their strength and speed were
“Protect Young Master Westley!”The soldiers on the ground crawled toward Westley Wright, afraid that he would actually die to Harvey York.Harvey had no intention of going forward. He pulled a few tissues from the table before wiping his fingers.“Cowards, every single one of you.“If you’d even train a little more diligently…“A knife wouldn’t make you piss your pants in the first place.“Do you see the difference in our strengths now?“I went easy on you the first time.“If that weren’t the case, you would’ve been a corpse by now.”“You!” Westley screamed horribly.This was utter humiliation!This was way more embarrassing than the fight in Heaven’s Gate’s territory!“I’m giving you one day.Harvey casually looked at the watch on his wrist.“Remove every single threat against the Patel family.“Restore the family’s original stock value as well.“If you’re even a dollar off by tomorrow…“Then I’ll cut off your finger for every dollar lost.“You better know what’s go
While Westley Wright was undoing every single plan he had laid against the Patel family…Inside the Locke Financial Group’s villa, Karina Joyner stood up from her lounge chair.She squinted at the Indigo Mountain with a calm expression.After a long while, she called Ibuki Masato.“I’m pretty impatient, Young Master Ibuki.“I do hope you’ll get Harvey York’s head soon.”-Eleven o’clock in the morning, inside the Fortune Hall.There was still time before Harvey’s deadline, but the Patel family’s stock values had already returned to their former rates. The stock prices also hit a daily limit before the market closed.Compared to the plummet a few days ago, seeing the tables turned like this was shocking.The entire market was in a craze. Orders for the Patel family’s stocks were constantly pouring in as well.The family’s assets had reverted to normal.The canceled deals would continue as usual.The ships detained in the Caribbean were released.In any case, the Patel fami
Blaine John took a deep breath.“Of course. If you say so…“I’m begging you.”Harvey York could not help but give his praise after hearing those words.“I expect no less from Young Master John!“You swallow your hate just for the sake of the bigger picture…“Not many people can do the same, you know!“I have to admit, I admire your persistence!”Blaine was infuriated entirely after seeing the sight.As the young master of the John family, he was one of the top-rated people in the entire country.And yet, he had been constantly disrespected by a mere live-in son-in-law! This was simply unforgivable!Then again, he still forced a smile on his face when thinking of his goal.“I’d have to accept such a huge compliment from Sir York himself!”“Tsk tsk tsk!Harvey looked surprised.“Meetings always happen for a reason…“Other than you trying to kill me, I really can’t figure out another reason why you’d hold yourself back like this.“That said, I’ll go since I already promis
Capri John and the others were furiously glaring at Kairi Patel.Not only did she disrespect Blaine John, but she also humiliated the John family.“Come on, Kairi. Give Young Master John some respect.”Harvey York casually sat down before pouring himself a cup of tea.“He clearly has plans against us for holding back this much.“If we go on him too hard, he’d use his entire might just to crush us!“We won’t even get a chance to fall back when that happens!”Kairi sat down smilingly.“Please give us a chance, Young Master John!”The people of the John family were about to go insane after hearing those words.Blaine showed a calm demeanor when he set his teacup down, smiling faintly.“The John family doesn’t allow arrogance and discouragement. It’s the one lesson that the family’s been upholding.“Even if I had the upper hand against you two, I wouldn’t dare push my luck either.“After all, what goes around, comes around.”Harvey just smiled.“Since you’re being so respect
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
