Harvey clapped after seeing the woman being so polite. He threw the firearm back to Benson.“Next time I see you take advantage of people, I’ll kill you,” he warned.Benson shivered in fear. Without really understanding why, he believed Harvey’s words.“Don’t blame them. I got into some trouble recently,” the woman said. “That’s why they’re all very wary.”She smiled apologetically.“I’m sorry. I’m Baylee Cobb.”“You’re too kind.” Harvey looked deep into Baylee’s eyes. “You people haven’t been resting well recently. It’s only normal to have a bad temper.”Baylee froze. “How did you know that?”“Judging from the scent on your body, someone’s been trying to hunt you down,” Harvey said.“That person is an expert, too. “He already showed up a few times, but didn’t do anything to you just yet. Either he injured one of your men, or destroyed your transportation.“Though it sounds threatening, the damage wasn’t all that serious.“You people have been on high alert just to defend
“Since you’re here, you must be headed to the outskirts, right?”Baylee smiled.“We’re going on the same flight, then.“If you’re not going to help me, we’ll all be in trouble if the killer sneaks on board with us!“Even if it’s for your own safety, it should be fine for you to help, no?“Of course, I won’t let you do this for free.”Harvey let out a sigh; he didn’t want to get involved with other people’s businesses, but Baylee wasn’t being completely unreasonable.There was a huge chance that the killer would be on board. If Baylee was on the same flight as him, he’d have to deal with the situation no matter what.“I don’t have time to look for the killer…but I can cover the scent that’s on you. That way, it’d be hard for the killer to track you down.”Baylee was overjoyed. “How can I help? Do you need anything?”Harvey shook his head.“No, but I need you to go inside with me.”Harvey pointed at the restroom.Baylee’s face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth. “Right.”
Like many young women, Baylee’s bright and smooth feet wore a pair of fashionable sneakers.Her feet didn’t stink, but carried an unspeakable beauty that shone as the sneakers were removed.Harvey had no intention of enjoying the sight; he took a few glances at the sneakers after Baylee took them off.“The Tracker Barley’s liquid is right under your soles. You must’ve stepped on it unintentionally. The simplest way is to deal with the shoes and change a flight. Normally speaking, it’d be way harder to track you after that,” he explained.Baylee froze.“That’s it? But why did we come in if it was that simple?”“The killer might be hiding with your bodyguards…” Harvey replied.“The Tracker Barley is just for show.“In reality, the killer’s using that as cover. He’s been hiding among you and your people. That’s the only reason why he knows your every move.“Only then could he slowly force you to your death.“Who did you go against for this to happen? You’re still so young, but
Harvey opened the pouch, and saw an amber the size of a thumb. It wasn’t that big, but it was a bright yellow resembling an egg yolk.He could tell that this was an actual baltic amber. It was an extremely valuable item that must’ve been kept well for at least a hundred years.He didn’t want to accept the gift at first, but he had no choice when Baylee kept pushing it.“See you around.”Harvey kept the pouch before opening the restroom door.Outside, Baylee’s bodyguards looked as if they were meeting their greatest enemy.They looked at each other when they saw Harvey come out with Baylee, who had a bright red face. Her feet were completely exposed.Kareem pointed his firearm at Harvey, furious. “What did you do to our lady? Why are her shoes off?”Harvey squinted at Kareem with a smile.“Your lady’s feet are pretty smooth,” he taunted.“You…”Kareem was infuriated, but Baylee stepped forward with a quick gesture. Several firearms pointed at his head soon after.“You have
The traffic was filled with cars, but there were occasionally animals crossing the roads.A primitive smell filled the dry air, the stench making people uncomfortable. Compared to Gangnam and Golden Sands, the outskirts were a completely different territory.Harvey didn’t mind that much. He wanted to find a place to stay after leaving the railway station, and then look into Aenar Temple.Mandy’s goal at the conference was to obtain the Two-Eyed Bead. Harvey’s best bet to find her was to go to Aenar Temple.“Sigh! There you are, kid! Get over here!”A man leaning on a Toyota Prado glared and hooked his finger at Harvey as soon as he got out of the railway station.Harvey frowned. “Something wrong?”The man sized up Harvey with disdain.“You’re Harvey, right? The poor relative who’s getting Mr. Harlan’s help?“You big city folk always look down on us, right? Did you do so poorly there that you have to get our help here?”Harvey froze, and then remembered the documents Kairi sen
Cillian froze, then broke out in rage.“You bastard! Do you want to die?!”He was just about to kick Harvey…Slap!But Harvey slapped him in the face first.Cillian flew straight into the car door. Blood almost came out of his mouth.“If you’re going to beg, at least look the part. Who do you think you are?”Harvey glared at Cillian, then dialed a number. He couldn’t be bothered to deal with Cillian any longer.“How’s your trip to the outskirts?” Kairi’s gleeful voice came. “I don’t mind the identity change, but what’s with this guy trying to fetch me now?”“You can’t blame me for this, Sir York. A lot of people are eyeing on you. We need to put up a strong front for you.“The person you’re pretending to be was supposed to be a university student. Based on his information, other than seeking help from Harlan, he was supposed to study in the outskirts.”“Study…?”Harvey was speechless. He wasn’t planning on studying with someone else’s identity.Kairi smiled.“He wasn’t
Harvey got out of the car. Before he could even say a word, Harlan strode over while laughing. “It’s been years, Harvey! You’ve grown quite a bit! Since you’re here, treat this place as your own home. Don’t hold back in front of me now.”Harvey frowned, but soon came to his senses.“Thank you, Uncle Harlan,” he said, smiling“What a good kid!”Harlan laughed again. “Come on! Let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Billie. She’s going to the same university as you. If I remember correctly, she’s younger than you by a few months. You should protect her well!”Harvey nodded. “Don’t worry about that, Uncle Harlan.”He then glanced at the woman.Billie Higgs. Harlan’s only daughter, who had an arranged marriage with the person Harvey was impersonating.He didn’t think that it was appropriate for him to get closer to Billie, but he still wanted to make his identity believable.“Hello, I’m Harvey York. I’m from Golden Sands. Let me know if you need any help.”Harvey glanced a
“It’s said that during ancient times, the Wolven Tribe treated the Eden Mountain as its holy mountain. We used to offer some of our harvests every year there, too.“Traditions like these are long gone now. Despite that, the Wolven Tribe still prides itself on living in the Eden Mountain.“Right at the foot of the mountain, there’s a villa area that the richest people here developed.“A single restroom there costs way more than any of the houses here. I don’t even have money to afford a single brick there!”Harvey squinted at the Eden Mountain, smiling faintly. “I looked into it before coming here. The richest people here are the Klein family, right?”Harlan he looked at Harvey, weirded out. “That’s right… The Wolven Tribe is split between the Higgs family and the Klein family. I belong to the Higgs family, but I’m not related to the main family. I’m just a distant relative.“Speaking of villas, the family happens to have a relatively smaller villa in the neighboring area. I got
