Harvey York faintly smiled while everyone was furiously screaming at him.It seemed like someone else was being insulted instead of him.Master Mograine and the others were showing utter disdain when they saw the look on Harvey’s face.“I didn’t believe it before…” said Harvey while looking at Kairi Patel.“But I do now.”Kairi was a little irate but believed that Harvey could handle the situation.“What is it?” she asked, smiling faintly.“Some people get apprehensive when it’s none of their damn business.”Kairi burst out laughing.Master Mograine and the others were showing horrible looks.“How dare you?!”“You should speak for yourself.”Harvey was stoic.“I’m the consultant of the Golden Sands’ government.“Is there a problem with me attending the first-in-command’s inauguration ceremony?”“Of course there is!” Miles Keaton exclaimed coldly.“All you have is just a title without actual authority!“The government can fire you whenever they want!“You’re simply unw
‘Longmen’s young master?!‘One of the legendary cornerstones of the country?!‘That’s him?!’According to the law, Longmen were always privileged to take any action before filing reports.From a certain perspective, Longmen also had the right to govern all government leaders.This was a privilege given by the royal court.Since Longmen’s young master showed up at such a crucial moment to attend Damon John’s ceremony…Who would dare stop him? Or rather, who would even have the power to do such a thing?Miles Keaton looked horrible, as if slapped in the face.If Harvey York were Longmen’s young master, he would be at least on the same footing as Miles!In terms of authority, Miles would not even have the right to shine Harvey’s shoe!Miles shivered before waving his hand while gritting his teeth, signaling his men to stand down.If the Council of Myth were to go against Harvey, it would be disrespectful toward Longmen!Both sides would be fated to fight!The sacred martial
Almost all eyes were on Harvey York as soon as he walked inside.A huge patio was seen right past the front door. Many square tables with guests filled the whole place.At first, many members of the John family were planning to make fun of Harvey.After all, they believed Master Mograine could stop Harvey from entering.They never expected Master Mograine to be taken down in a single hit.She could not even utter a single word after that.Blaine John and the others’ eyes twitched. Blaine was a God of War with immense strength…But he did not even realize how dominant Harvey actually was.He would not dare act this way in front of the public…So, what was Harvey trying to achieve by showing off his strength like this?“What? I’m here now.“Aren’t you people supposed to welcome me with open arms?“How disrespectful!”Since the John family had been constantly going up against Harvey, he did not want to hold back either.Blaine walked to the front of the crowd before squintin
“I guess it’s normal. Your forefathers are arrogant people who loved showing off internationally anyway.“It’s only natural for you to inherit your father’s legacy.“That said, you should probably top this.“You’d be made fun of if you flaunt your lack of strength.”It seemed like Harvey York was teaching a lesson, downright enraging Ayaka Ueda and the others.He was simply crushing their spirits!‘This bastard’s preposterous!’“You’re crossing the line, Sir York!”Karina Joyner of the Locke Financial Group stepped out before glaring at Harvey sternly.“America has always been working with the Island Nations. You’ll have to take responsibility for slandering them like this.”Harvey gave a slight nod.“Is that so? You’re telling me that you people setting up base and exploiting the people in the Island Nations is what you call working together?“I’m sorry. It looks like we have a different definition of that word, after all.“I’ll make sure to learn more about yours after t
The genetically enhanced soldiers and ninjas, blended in with the crowd, were boiling in anger.Harvey York’s sharp tongue was way stronger than his fighting skills!Blaine John’s eyes twitched. Harvey’s words were outrightly disrespecting his alliance with the Islanders and Americans.The accusation was no different than sullying the John family’s reputation.Blaine took a deep breath before speaking.“You need to show proof for your words, Sir York. You’re obviously slandering me here!“The Americans and the Islanders are only here as guests!“You’ll make many people misunderstand us for saying things like that!”“Misunderstand?Harvey let out a grin.“What did I say to make anyone misunderstand things?“If you’re putting things that clearly…“Then you must be guilty of something, aren’t you?“Are you panicking because you’re actually working with the Americans and the Islanders?“That’s no good, Young Master John…”Harvey shook his head.The John family’s faces insta
Harvey York calmly looked at Damon John’s cold glare.Everyone instinctively shuddered after seeing the sight.“You haven’t answered me yet, Sir York!“Do you think we’re just walking targets?!”Damon furiously squinted at Harvey.Harvey merely smiled.“The John family’s the leader of the top ten families. How would that be the case?“There’s no need for self-deprecation.”“If that were the case, then aren’t you supposed to give us an explanation for gatecrashing?”“That’s not quite right, Mr. Damon,” said Kairi Patel, smilingly.“Sir York is the government’s consultant. He holds the same immense rank as both of us.“Even if he wasn’t invited, he’s still here to celebrate your rise to power.“What’s there to get angry about?“You should be happy! He came here for the sake of your respect, after all!”“Respect?Damon let out a cold chuckle.“He beat up my sister…“Insulted my guests…“Then slandered my dear son!“Looks like I’ll have to properly thank you after all, H
Bam!Harvey York threw a badge in front of Damon John.The title of Longmen’s young master could be seen glimmering on the badge.Not only did Damon feel like he was slapped in the face, completely halting his rage…The guards who stepped forward also instantly stopped in their tracks.Damon glanced at the badge before immediately realizing that it was real.His eyes lightly twitched before finally speaking.“Good! The badge is real!“But then, I can still get you out of here even if that’s the case!“According to the law, Longmen doesn’t govern the John family!”Harvey smiled.“If my memory serves me correctly, Longmen has the right to do exactly that to the top ten families.“After all, we’ll kill whoever the Dragon Palace wouldn’t dare. We’ll take care of matters that the Dragon Cell don’t. We’ll also protect people the Dragon Palace won’t!“We have special permission to take any action before making reports!“This is Longmen!”Damon gave a cold chuckle.“That’s righ
Harvey York did not premeditate this with the Hermit Families…But they knew that they needed to stand up for him at this very moment.After all, they would not get another chance after this.The six Hermit Families might just be kicked out of Golden Sands after the inauguration ceremony!That was why nobody wanted to miss out on the opportunity!Blaine and Damon John’s expressions changed instantly after hearing those exclamations.‘These bastards!‘Such perfect timing for them!’The other guests of the John family were twitching their eyes.‘The six Hermit Families stood up at the same time!‘They’re putting everything on the line at this point!‘After all, they weren’t just picking sides for accusing Blaine of such things!‘If the John family can’t hold them back, their position in Golden Sands would be jeopardized without a doubt!’The eyes of Master Mograine, Karina Joyner, Ibuki Masato, and the others were twitching.Everyone knew that the ceremony was just a ploy…
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
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
