Lennon Surrey showed a profound expression after hearing Harvey York’s words.He stared deeply into Harvey’s eyes for a moment before he smiled.“I’m sorry, Harvey. I’m just overthinking.“Please don’t mind me.“How about we talk about your methods of treating me instead?”Harvey gave a slight nod.“Show me how you regulate energy—your energy regulation technique.”In reality, Harvey could already tell how Lennon was injured, but he did not want to surprise him too much by saying that.Aria Surrey brought a thin book before handing it to Harvey.Harvey casually flipped through the pages…While he did, Aryan Augustus had already gotten inside his Land Rover, completely ignoring Miley Surrey while at that.Aryan rolled up the privacy glass to isolate himself from the driver before dialing a number.“Things are getting a little hairy.“Lennon found himself a brat who came out of nowhere.“He chose to let the brat treat him instead of us.”A long moment of silence before a c
Aria Surrey seemed angered after seeing the sight.“What is the meaning of this?“This is the Surrey family’s heirloom! This…”Before Aria was done speaking, Lennon Surrey’s body shuddered before he pounced right at the book to read it.He seemed normal when he read it at first…But after a short while, he was showing an expression of utter disbelief.His jaw was gaping at the end.“Grandfather? Grandfather?”Aria shook Lennon, thinking that something might have happened to him.Lennon closed his eyes without saying a word, then slowly let out a breath of air.Then, he stood up and deeply bowed before Harvey York.“This is simply impressive!“The family will never forget what you did for us!”Harvey just smiled.“This is nothing. The energy regulation technique still originated from the Surrey family.“I only filled in and corrected some of the missing stuff.”Aria was utterly shocked.‘This young man in front of me did all that?’Lennon shook his head.“You’re being
Half an hour later, Harvey York left the Surrey family residence.Aria Surrey drove him back to the urban area.She gave him an access card. It was for one of the villas at Eden Mountain.Harvey had no intention of accepting the card when Lennon Surrey presented it. Still, he reluctantly decided otherwise after thinking the Surrey family would only be at ease this way.At the same time, Aria even came along to apologize in person.She knew that without Harvey’s generosity, Ernie Surrey would have been either dead or completely crippled.-Half an hour later, Aria frowned while looking at her grandfather.“Why aren’t you thinking of ways to keep Master York here?“If he’s willing to be the family’s servant, even just in name, we wouldn’t be at a disadvantage when we go against the other tribes in the future.”Lennon let out a sigh.“He was able to see the family’s threat without much effort. Do you think a man like that would be satisfied being the family’s lowly servant?“W
At night, Harvey York had gotten a few phone calls in his villa.Other than Yvonne Xavier’s daily reports and Kairi Patel’s flirting, Ethan Hunt also called.According to what he said, he could not get in touch with some soldiers of the Sword Camp.Then, he sent all the information of those soldiers to Harvey’s phone.Harvey glanced at it before showing an odd expression.The soldiers seemed to have been studying under the Aenar Temple. Nobody knew whether it was just a coincidence.After staying in the outskirts for a while, Harvey started to get an understanding of the place as well.Out of the three great temples of the outskirts, the Aenar Temple had the most presence.Not only did it have a lot of disciples, but it had been accepting donations since ancient times to the point where it was a massive force in the outskirts.The Aenar Temple had also been recruiting all sorts of talents.Miley Surrey and some soldiers of the Sword Camp were just a part of it.Miley aside,
Life in university was peace and quiet. Harvey overheard that only outstanding students would have a chance to be summoned by one of the great temples to be tested.Simply put, only the most well-known students in university would even be looked at. If not, it would be impossible to visit the temple.“The great temples seem a lot like gangs. To put it bluntly, this university is their testing ground to find people…”Harvey finally understood.Before he could figure out a way to stand out, he received a call in the afternoon. It was Ernie.Ernie spoke in a respectful manner. He told Harvey that he was just lectured by his grandfather. As an apology, he wanted to invite Harvey to the Crux Hotel at the Gangnam Outskirts.Harvey thought about the situation for a while. Since he had nothing to do at night, he agreed to go.At seven o’clock, Harvey went to the deluxe room of the Crux Hotel. Ernie and the others had been waiting for him for a long time.Wildcat was standing right besi
“The worst branch of all thirty-six?”Harvey thought about the situation for a moment, and was reminded of something.Though he was Longmen’s young master, he hadn’t been in Longmen for long. He hadn’t even seen the heads of the Eight Inner and Outer Walls, let alone all thirty-six branch leaders.He remembered that because of the outskirts’ folk customs, and the fact that it was far away from the mainland, the strength of the branch here was quite restricted.Even so, the weakest branch still represented one of the four cornerstones. Who would dare challenge Longmen like this without fear?“Tell me about this,” Harvey said.Ernie chuckled bitterly.“Because of his body, the branch leader has been hiding in the Vertigo Mountaintop Villa away from the outskirts.“In the past two years, his daughter, Kali Howell, has been taking control.“She’s quite popular in the outskirts’ branch. With her discreet methods, nobody had caused us trouble for a long time.“But a few days ago, a
At first, Harvey couldn’t be bothered to deal with the situation…But since Longmen was involved, he had no choice but to at least take a look.After pondering the situation for a moment, Harvey sipped his tea before finally speaking up.“I want the time and place. I’ll take a look whenever.”Ernie nodded in relief after hearing Harvey’s words.He sat still without getting everyone to move their utensils, as if he were waiting for someone.After taking a few glances, Harvey finally understood.Ernie knew that Harvey was capable, but Harvey was at most being treated as just a backup. There was probably someone more capable who got invited here.Footsteps were heard at the entrance.Other than Harvey, everyone stood up.A group of people in robes entered soon after.The person leading them was a handsome man with a buzz cut and an elegant aura. His eyes were brimming with light as he strutted inside.“Oh! Master Bryan’s here! Please! Come inside!”Ernie appeared very hospita
After seeing Harvey remain silent, as if he were shocked by Bryar’s mere presence, Ernie started looking down on Harvey.He wasn’t sure why his grandfather Lennon made Harvey an important guest, but if Bryar could take down the enemies while suppressing Harvey at the same time…It’d be beneficial for Ernie.Wildcat hesitated for a moment, but then decided not to say anything.Though he knew just how strong Harvey was, he had no idea that Harvey managed to correct the Surrey family’s energy regulation technique.If that wasn’t the case, Wildcat would’ve told Ernie off by now.-After a few rounds of alcohol, Ernie led everyone to a park beside a lake in the urban area.The park was already closed at five o’clock in the evening. Only the side door leading to a Budokan was opened.The place was dimly lit, but the Budokan beside the lake was very striking. To build a Budokan in a place like this was enough to show just how powerful Longmen’s outskirts branch was.“You haven’t tol
