Harvey York seemed strange to the others. Everyone was keeping an eye on him at all times.They were all enraged that he was trying to drag the goddess out of the place before they could even drink.Winston Osborne glared at Harvey before coldly chuckling.“What’s even the point of pretending now, Harvey?“You’re already taking away the goddess after sipping your damn water?“Who do you think you are?“What? Are you lonely sitting in a corner?“Should we get you some ladies to drink with?”“Don’t, Prince Winston!” someone exclaimed.“That’s a kept man from the big city!“He couldn’t be bothered with the ladies here in the outskirts!“Hahaha!”Everyone burst out in laughter, treating Harvey like a country bumpkin.Harvey put his soda down before speaking.“Winston, right?“I couldn’t be bothered to deal with you…“And yet you’re here thinking you’re all that?”“Oh? I wouldn’t dare!Winston showed a playful expression.“You come here leeching off of us and pretending t
“Do you think you’re all that impressive?!“Not only are you dragging Billie away…“But you’re also taking Judith with you?!“Who do you think you are?!“The Prince of the Wolven Tribe? Or one of the great tribes?”Winston Osborne was in a craze when he saw the sight.He had been thinking of the two goddesses for the longest time.But with Aliza Howell around, he would not dare do anything reckless.And yet a kept man was trying to snatch both women away.This was simply unforgivable!Not just Winston, Lando Miller and the others were also glaring at Harvey furiously.‘How dare this bastard try to enjoy the harem all by himself?!’Judith Pedler froze. She realized Harvey would not just say things without a reason.But before she could talk, Billie was already glaring at him coldly.“You really think you’re my fiance or something?!“Just leave this place!“But don’t drag me with you!“I’ll play here as long as I want!”Billie Higgs slammed her Chanel handbag in front o
The man with dreadlocks let out a chuckle.“Keep on pretending!“People should admit to their mistakes! Don’t you get it?!”Winston Osborne could tell the man had an extraordinary identity, but he still decided to put up a brave front.“I don’t think I have done anything for you people to do this…”The man slapped the butt of the woman beside him before smiling.“Go deal with the person who kicked you down. You can do whatever you want to him.”Camilia quickly approached Lando Miller before pulling his hair and slapping him around.Lando’s face was entirely swollen before he could even react.Camilia was still dissatisfied after all that, so she picked up a glass bottle before smashing it on his head.“Aaagh!”Lando screamed in pain. He never thought he had provoked such a fierce lady.He was utterly ashamed, yet he would not dare to fight back.The man with dreadlocks was clearly no ordinary person. Small fries like Lando could not hold a candle against someone like that.
“Call it quits?The man with dreadlocks smiled at Winston Osborne.“Who are you? Tell me who’s supporting you then.“If there’s no one behind you, then why should I even respect you in the first place?”“I’m from the Garuda Tribe…” replied Winston.“A descendant?The man with dreadlocks curved his lips.“I’ve never seen you before, though…”Winston immediately figured the man’s identity was extraordinary.He had already booked the entire room for the night.What else could he do?It would be extremely embarrassing if he did not stand up against the man!“I’m just a relative…” replied Winston, gritting his teeth.“My father’s the family steward.”Slap!The man with dreadlocks swung the back of his palm forward.Winston stumbled back after getting hit in the face.“You…”Slap!The man slapped him again.“You’re crossing the line! The Garuda Tribe isn’t just an easy target!” Winston exclaimed while teary-eyed.Slap slap slap!The man slapped Winston around relentless
Ernie Surrey was surprised when he heard Winston Osborne refer to him as Young Master.He reached out and lifted Winston’s chin with a smile.“So, you do know my name?“What a shame that it’s all a little too late now.“My woman was toyed with and beaten up! Someone needs to pay for the consequences!”At this point, Winston had utterly given up.He kept trembling to the point where his legs were about to give in.“Please, Young Master Ernie! It’s all because of Lando’s ignorance!“Deal with him however you please!“We have nothing to do with this!”Aliza Howell and the other women quickly nodded.“Looks like young people nowadays are clueless, huh?”Ernie heaved a sigh before slapping Winston to the ground.“Do you need me to remind you again?“You have no say in this! I do!“I am the king here! Do you understand me?!Ernie lit up a long and thin cigar before taking a huff.“Right. You mentioned Boden just now.“Call him! See if he’s willing to beg for your life!“If
Aliza Howell could not help but scream at the sight. She was getting goosebumps all over her body.She quickly stumbled back before looking at Winston Osborne with pitiful eyes.It was a shame. The arrogant man looked away as if nothing ever happened.Naturally, he would rather stay alive no matter how disgusting the sight was before him.Aliza’s vision went dark.The boyfriend she looked up to so much was just a coward, after all…Not only that, she was also about to be taken advantage of.Winston turned a blind eye when tears were running down Aliza’s face.Compared to his woman, his life was undoubtedly more important!He could have as many women as he wanted but would not get another life if he lost it!Tap!One of Ernie Surrey’s subordinates turned on the lights.Ernie was just about to take his pants off before seeing Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler standing behind Harvey. He froze before his eyes instantly lit up.It was safe to say that the two were goddesses in the
“Who the hell are you?Ernie Surrey rubbed his swollen face before sternly waving his hand, stopping the fierce men behind him from stepping forward.“I’ll put it this way. In the entirety of the outskirts, nobody dared to touch me before.“You’re the first one, and you’ll be the only one after this.“It’d be easy for me to trample all over you, but I should at least get to know you first so I can prepare a grave for you, right?”Ernie was an impressive man…But he was not foolish either.He knew that people who dared to go against him would surely have tricks up their sleeve.Either that or Harvey York was just someone with a screw loose.No matter how Ernie looked, Harvey did not seem that way.To prevent going against someone more powerful, Ernie decided that his best way forward was to figure out Harvey’s background.Winston Osborne’s eyes lit up as if he saw an opportunity to escape the situation. He quickly stumbled in front of Ernie before slamming his knees to the gr
“It really is our first time seeing this guy, Young Master Ernie!“We don’t even know each other!”“That’s right! We have nothing to do with him!”Winston Osborne and the others were utterly shocked after seeing Harvey York slap Ernie Surrey twice.They quickly broke off from Harvey, afraid they also would get dragged down.“Right! Do whatever you want with this bastard!” exclaimed Aliza Howell.“He’s been trying to get together with someone way out of his league!“Just take care of him as you please!”Even Lando Miller crawled out of Harvey’s way as he trembled in fear. If things were to escalate, he would also be taken out.Those people knew that for the princes and young masters, their reputation was much more important than their very lives!Not only would Harvey completely ruin everyone’s chances of turning the tables…He would completely infuriate Ernie as well.Simply put, he would be looking for his death!Why would he do something like this instead of just ending
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
