In the information Kairi provided, Whitley came from Gangnam. She got to know Harlan while visiting the outskirts for a vacation, and they had been together ever since.Whitley frowned when she saw Harvey walk in, but she still nodded at him in greeting.“Look who’s here, honey?” Harlan laughed. “Come, have some tea with your aunt. I’ll get the food ready. You should eat here tonight.”Harlan happily put on his apron before heading into the kitchen.Harvey froze; he was surprised to find out something new, despite having read the information provided.From what he was seeing, it seemed that Whitley was the person in charge of the family.Whitley casually signaled for Harvey to sit. She brought out two expensive-looking cups, and went to boil some tea. She seemed quite absent-minded, but every single one of her movements was just right.Naturally, she was an expert.Harvey glanced at Whitley with a look of admiration. People with such amazing tea-making skills were surely extrao
Whitley’s face was awful during the entire meal.Harlan didn’t know what happened. He didn’t know what to say, since he had always been timid with his wife.When Whitley returned to her bedroom after the awkward meal, Harlan finally spoke to Harvey.“Don’t mind your aunt. She’s been like that since forever. “How about this? You must be pretty unfamiliar here since it’s your first day. I’ll get Billie to go shopping with you. You can buy some essentials while you’re at it.“You don’t have to worry about living here.”Harlan quietly snuck Harvey a silver card.Harvey knew Harlan would be suspicious if he rejected the card. After all, he was here to seek support. He decided to take the card, thinking of returning it when it was time for him to leave. Not long after, Harlan got a call from his company and left.Billie smiled, but after Harlan left, she turned to Harvey and demanded coldly, “Hand it over!”“What?” Harvey froze.“Playing dumb, are we? Hand over my dad’s bank car
Harvey memorized every piece of information and the outskirts’ map to heart, but this was still his first time here.There were a few good soldiers from the Sword Camp who came from here.Harvey couldn’t remember the soldiers’ contact information. He sent Ethan a text asking about it, then casually strolled alongside the moat.Weeping willows could be seen. They made for quite an elegant sight.Harvey strolled around as he pondered what he needed to do next. He couldn’t just search for Mandy immediately. After all, the Two-Eyed Bead was involved. Aenar Temple, too.Even the Jean family wouldn’t hesitate to lose two branch heads for the sake of the bead. Mandy was even kidnapped because of this. If it wasn’t for Harvey, the situation would’ve been horrible.This was enough to show just how deep the waters were. If Harvey took action recklessly, the consequences would be dire. It’d probably be easier for Ethan to provide a few soldiers from the Sword Camp, so he could use their c
Harvey didn’t think he’d attract that much attention just by taking a stroll.After leaving the moat, he found a place to buy his essentials. Then, he headed to the villa Harlan arranged for him.The place was a little old, but there was no moldy smell in the air. Harlan had naturally put a lot of effort into Harvey to feel at home.Harvey was pleased. He thought of buying a villa in the Eden Mountain to repay the favor later.On the next day, Harvey decided to have a jog along the river early in the morning. The air around the place was quite refreshing, after all.Harvey had no choice but to wait since Ethan hadn’t replied. He had been running around everywhere to deal with problems, but he finally managed to have some time to rest after coming here.Harvey would occasionally do a few moves when nobody was around, and felt very refreshed.He went to the place where he bumped into some people the day before, so he could take a break. Before he could find a spot to sit down, s
“Do you know martial arts?“If you’re going to show off, then at least learn something for a few years first!“Weak-looking people like you piss me off! You understand me?!”The woman scoffed at Harvey, treating him like a crazy show-off.Harvey couldn’t help but roll his eyes. If he didn’t know martial arts, then nobody would.The woman’s practice wasn’t all that impressive anyway. That was why Harvey sighed.He didn’t have any intention of arguing with the woman. He didn’t want to expose his identity because of this, either.“Sorry, but I really don’t know martial arts. I wasn’t sighing because of you, either. I couldn’t help myself after thinking about my old friend. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”The woman frowned. “If you don’t know anything, step aside already! You better not show up here again! If you do…”“Get back here, Aria,” the elderly man said after coughing.“He didn’t mean it. He apologized, too. Stop being so aggressive already. I told you, a bad temper i
“What’s the point of pretending now?”Aria scoffed; she didn’t believe Harvey at all. She waved her hand, and the fierce man stepped in front of Harvey. Judging from his bulging waist, he was clearly holding a firearm. If anything were to go wrong, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action.The elderly man smiled when he saw Harvey keeping silent.“Let me introduce myself. My name is Lennon Surrey. This is my granddaughter, Aria.“The Eight Extremes that we practice is a little different from the rest.“You’re clearly no ordinary man. Since you could tell that there’s something wrong with my granddaughter’s practice, why not tell her?”Lennon spoke in a polite manner, as if he actually wanted Harvey’s pointers. However, his tone was laced with pride. Everyone here would have no choice but to pay their respect after recognizing the Surrey name. However, this young man in front of Lennon didn’t seem to care, as if he didn’t know him.It was only natural, since Harvey didn’t come fro
The fierce man froze, his hand stopping on the firearm.He had been fighting with Lennon in the outskirts for many years… This was his first time seeing someone as powerful as Harvey.He thought that matter how impressive a person’s martial arts were, he or she wouldn’t be able to go against firearms. Now, he finally understood; in front of true power, firearms meant absolutely nothing.He wouldn’t get the chance to pull the trigger before being taken out.Harvey ignored everyone’s change in expression. “It’s just a small trick. It’s not worth the praise. I can leave now, right?”He was the Head Coach, who had already brought up a few Gods of War. He wouldn’t be flattered by someone was praising his rise as a God of War, anyway.To Lennon, Harvey’s calm expression was no different from the look of a master.“This might be a small trick for you…but for us, this is simply extraordinary!” he exclaimed sternly.Lennon wouldn’t dare talk down on Harvey anymore. The outskirts were hu
Lennon shook after hearing Harvey’s words.“You can tell?! This is my biggest secret. Nobody in the family knows!”Lennon was truly shocked. To prevent his family from worrying—to prevent the word from spreading… He only told them that he kept coughing because of a lung disease.Only he knew that wasn’t the case at all.Aria was surprised to hear that as well.“Even big hospitals in Wolsing couldn’t treat my grandfather. They say it’s difficult… And now, you’re saying that it’s not that big of a problem?”Aria seemed hopeful.“Is there a way for you to treat my grandfather?”Aria would definitely not believe Harvey if he didn’t show his prowess… After seeing such a spectacular performance, she naturally trusted him.Without Lennon’s help, the entire Surrey family would be in utter chaos, especially with all the trouble surrounding them.This was why Aria, a mere university student, practiced the Eight Extremes. She wanted to relieve her grandfather of his worries. If she ha
