Camilia finally spoke after a long while.“Young Master Ernie, why…?”Ernie Surrey let out a bitter chuckle.“You don’t get it, Camilia. The waters here run deep.“You get to see me show off every chance I get, but do you really think I’m actually someone important compared to the rest of the family?”“How are you not?” Camilia debated respectfully.“I am, but I’m also not.Ernie heaved a sigh.“I am a direct descendant with immense authority…“But other than my grandfather, there are two people that I would never dare go against.“My sister, then Wildcat!”“What?! That’s him?!Camilia gasped.“The legendary man who single-handedly destroyed the outskirts’ Desert Knights?!“The one who dealt with the Mountaintop Bandits?!”Ernie heaved another sigh.“That’s him.“And for him to willingly become that kid’s driver and bodyguard, do you really think he’s just some ordinary guy?”Camilia and the others felt cold shivers run their spines.“Is that kid actually someone wit
In reality, Winston Osborne was not confident that Boden Osborne would help. After explaining the entire situation, all Boden did was give out a single hum before hanging up on the phone.He had no hope in the situation. He believed Harvey York would either die or be completely crippled.He did not expect Harvey to come out unscathed.Without a second thought, Winston felt his ego rising exponentially.He approached Harvey before sizing him up with his arms crossed. He seemed a little disappointed when he saw Harvey without a single scratch.“Without my phone call, you would never have gotten out of here.“Maybe you should be thanking me and apologizing to everyone else here!“Things wouldn’t have gotten this way if you weren’t so reckless!”Clearly, Winston and the others chose to ignore the fact that Lando Miller had caused everything that happened.Harvey casually walked to the parking lot without even batting an eye at Winston.Wildcat showed a weird expression. He briefl
A Toyota Prado quietly drove on the road.Harvey York leaned on the passenger’s seat while looking at the night sky. Nobody could figure out what was going through his mind while he occasionally sipped his soda.Wildcat suddenly spoke after a brief moment of awkwardness.“Is that your girlfriend, Master York?”“How can you tell?”Wildcat turned to Harvey.“Judging from the woman’s look and tone…“She looked completely wronged.”Harvey burst out laughing.“You’ve never been in love after all, have you?“Let me tell you something. No matter their personality type, they’d look almost the same when they get angry.”Wildcat nodded lightly.“Why didn’t you explain the situation to her then?”“What’s the point?”Wildcat was stunned.He was not stupid. He quickly understood the situation.People like Harvey hated explaining to others the most.In his eyes, Winston Osborne, Billie Higgs, and the others were only playing make-believe.What was the point of explaining if that we
Harvey York instinctively glanced at the woman. Based on her looks, she seemed at least on par with Aria Surrey.Naturally, she was the Fourth Lady of the Surrey Family.She and the others were calmly sipping their tea.As soon as Harvey showed up, Lennon Surrey stood up before laughing.“You’re finally here!“I was worried Wildcat wasn’t enough to get you here!“Come! Come! Sit!”“Aria! Get Master York some tea!”Harvey casually sat on the left before taking a sip of tea Aria brought over.“Forgive me for my tardiness, Mr. Lennon.”“Sigh! Nonsense!Lennon cracked a smile.“I heard everything. Thank you for giving Ernie a chance.”Lennon knew that if it were not for Harvey, his dear grandson would have been disabled by now.Harvey gave a slight nod before glancing at Aria.“Nice to see you again.”Aria blinked before stepping to the side without saying a word.The Fourth Lady smiled as she looked at Lennon.“Grandfather, don’t tell me…“He’s the master you brought ba
Aria Surrey froze. She did not expect Harvey to have such character.Miley Surrey’s eyes twitched as she stared at him strangely.Normally speaking, con men would instantly refute their incredibility instead of leaving.Harvey’s decisiveness made Miley think he was actually capable of something.But even so, he was just looking for death for being arrogant!Even before Miley could do anything, Lennon Surrey blew on his mustache before screaming in rage.“Did you not hear what I just said?!”Miley resentfully bit her thin lip before finally apologizing.“I’m sorry, Master York!”“Don’t bother if you’re not actually apologetic,” replied Harvey without looking back.“You’d make yourself look hypocritical.”Miley froze. She did not expect Harvey to be this straightforward.A dozen fierce men beside her instantly glared at Harvey fiercely.‘How dare he disrespect the Fourth Lady like that?! He deserves to die!’Miley waved her hand, stopping the men from doing anything before
“Master Aryan! This is Harvey. He’s young, but his skills are extraordinary!“You two should get acquainted with each other!”Aryan Augustus smiled as if he did want to get to know Harvey York.Harvey politely extended his hand.“A master of the Aenar Temple.“I heard that your temple has a long history. Not only is the Aenar Temple one of the three great temples of the outskirts, but it also has the teachings of the original founder of the sect!“I’ll be sure to visit if I get a chance.”A hint of pride showed in Aryan’s eyes before he shook Harvey’s hand.“Hello, Mr. York.”Aryan no longer intended to talk to Harvey when he turned to look at Lennon.“I looked into your injury, Mr. Lennon,” he said sternly.“The best way to treat you is to do away with your training! As long as you forgo your training, you’ll be able to prosper for a long time! A few dozen years more wouldn’t be a problem!”Then, Aryan looked at Miley Surrey.“Mr. Lennon would seem disabled after that. Th
“It’s just a friendly reminder.”“What do you mean by that, Mr. York?A hint of rage could be seen on Aryan Augustus’s face.“The Aenar Temple allows everyone to eat whatever they want and bear children, but we still strive to improve our morals each day!“Since I said I can save Mr. Lennon this way, this is simply just that!“Ask Mr. Lennon! See if he believes me!“I came here many times already! I managed to relieve him of his pain every single time!“I wouldn’t suggest this unless there’s no other way!“You’re disrespecting me and the Aenar Temple for questioning the method!”Aryan was filled with anger.The Aenar Temple’s reputation was immense on the outskirts.Questioning the Aenar Temple meant death!“It’s not the first time I’ve seen Master Aryan, Harvey.“He’s also been using multiple methods to treat my body.“Then again, we could only use the methods once before losing effect.Lennon Surrey briefly hesitated before finally continuing to speak.“He’s probably
Lennon Surrey’s expression slightly darkened after hearing those words.“This is an important matter, Grandfather. We should fully prepare ourselves before making such a decision. If not, we’ll be food for everyone eyeing on us.Miley Surrey scoffed.“I know you’re a coward, but don’t get Grandfather into this too!“You, of all people, know what’s going on with him! Every breath he takes might just be his last!“When that happens, who will take responsibility for the family not having a leader?!“If it’s up to me, I’d decide as soon as possible!“With the Aenar Temple, who would even dare disrespect us?!”Wildcat wanted to say something but decided to keep quiet in the end. It was not his place, after all.Harvey York casually sipped his tea with a pondering look.Lennon squinted for a moment before finally speaking.“Master Aryan, I believe your judgment, but the cost of forgoing my practice is simply too much.“I’d like to try something else instead.”“Grandfather, you…
"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
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
