“A joke?”Harvey York cracked a smile that looked like the Devil itself.“Why don’t I joke about something, too?“Kneel!”Garry Duncan’s mind exploded before showing a bitter smile.“Cut me some slack, Sir York…“Help me out here. I’m the Kronen Temple’s…”“You don’t have to kneel.“But, you’ll have to take responsibility for your actions.”‘Take responsibility?’‘How is he that confident?’Everyone was about to pass out.‘Does this guy actually have immense status?’‘Why would he even talk to Garry like that if he doesn’t?’‘He even mentioned Kronen Temple’s name!’“Sir York…”“Three, two…”Garry instantly slammed his knees to the ground before Harvey finished counting down. He could not handle the pressure any longer.Everyone froze after seeing the sight.Some could not help but slap themselves in the face to ensure they were not dreaming.Garry was the high and mighty head coach of Oaklands University!He was one of the top ten talents of the outskirts!The pr
In just under a minute, every single support was gone.The luxury cars drove off in an instant. Only Roger Cobb, Teo Fairman, and Lorel Bree were left standing.All three of them were looking horrible.Ernie Surrey kneeled.Garry Duncan also did the same.They were nothing compared to Harvey York, let alone them!Even without Harvey’s immense identities…He could just simply slap them all to submission!“Right.Harvey casually wiped his hand with some tissue while showing a faint smile.“How do you think this should end?“Should I help you three? Or are you going to do it yourselves?”Harvey calmly spoke while smiling gently, but the three instantly shuddered when they saw his face.Cold shivers went down their spines at this very moment.Screech!A rare Ferrari 488 drove out of the side of the university.The car suddenly stopped when it reached behind Harvey and the others.The door opened before a woman in sunglasses, a black Givenchy skirt, and long Balenciaga stoc
“Of course! What? Do you want them to apologize to you instead?” exclaimed Billie Higgs as if it was obvious.“Don’t be naive, Harvey!“My father provided you with food and a place to stay!“He told me to care for you while you’re studying here too…“But he never said you’re allowed to use the family’s name to show off wherever you please!”Then, Billie looked at the others.“This guy isn’t that involved with the family!“I don’t care what happens…“But I do hope you’ll let this one slide for my sake. Is that fine?”Roger Cobb and the others looked at each other. They would not even dare say a word.‘You?‘Your family’s impressive…‘But you’re just a relative!‘Why are you still trying to pretend here?!‘Then again…Roger and the others instinctively nodded after seeing Harvey nod as well.“That’s right! We’ll let it go!“We won’t harass Harvey anymore!”Roger and the others scurried away, secretly thanking Billie for showing up.Nobody knew what would happen to the
Harvey York just smiled. He did not care about such baseless threats.He turned around before getting ready to leave. He could not be bothered to deal with Billie Higgs.“I think you should keep in mind what Billie’s saying.The car door opened.A man in a white shirt emerged from the car. He seemed like he was a couple of years older than Billie.He leaned on the car before glaring at Harvey with a smile.Harvey looked back quietly.“Let me introduce myself.“I am Asher Klein.“I’m an underclassman at Oaklands University and your senior.“Other than that, I’m also the university’s student council president.“If I want you expelled, I’d only need three days.”Harvey instinctively rolled his eyes.He completely ignored Asher’s showing off when he casually glanced at Billie.“I can’t be bothered to argue with you…“But that’s because your dad treated me really well.“I’ll let you off the hook for many things because of that.“That said, you better not cross the line.“P
The rumors naturally did not reach Harvey York.Then again, Roger Cobb and the others who were afraid of him immediately understood after hearing about it.Garry Duncan and Ernie Surrey refrained from going against Harvey out of respect for the Higgs family.Harvey only dared to flaunt his strength because he had an arranged marriage with Billie Higgs.That said, he did not know that Asher Klein fancied Billie either.Billie also seemed to have a thing for Asher. The two were seen constantly together recently.With the Klein family’s authority, Harvey’s arranged marriage would be voided if Billie and Asher decided to get together.After realizing that, many people ignored Harvey’s impressive fighting skills.Many jealous people were quietly waiting for Harvey to make a joke out of himself.After an entire night, Roger and Teo Fairman calmed down quite a bit.Other than Roger’s family giving him and the others the confidence they needed…They truly believed Harvey was only th
‘Everlasting life?!‘This again?!’Harvey York just figured out why the Jean family was willing to sacrifice two branch heads for some bead.Everything made sense now.He had no choice but to go at this point.“I am interested in attending the auction here.”“Should I fetch you tonight, Master York?” asked Aria shyly.“It’s fine.Harvey shook his head.He had been attracting enough attention while he was at the university.Things would get hairy if a beautiful woman like Aria came to fetch him in a luxury car.He just wanted to avoid any unnecessary trouble.“Send me an address. I’ll head over there tonight.”Aria would not want to force Harvey.“Right. Just mention my name to the guards.“I’ll let them know about you.”After hanging up the phone, Harvey ignored everyone’s odd gaze when he texted Yvonne Xavier and Tyson Woods.The two texted back soon after.Harvey took a few glances before leaving in the afternoon when the classes ended.After seeing him leave, Lore
Aenar Temple was located in the Scuva Mountains range.However, the auction site was not held there. Rather, it was in a memorial tower about thirty miles away from the temple.The tower had thousands of years of history and was one of Aenar Temple’s properties.Because of the outskirts’ tourism development, many elegant buildings were built around the tower, turning it into a typical place of leisure.Harvey York took a shower and got into his usual clothing after classes before calling a cab to the venue.Many luxury cars could be seen all around the auction site.Not just ordinary luxury cars like BMWs and Audis, Lincoln Customs, Bentleys, and Rolls Royce Phantoms were also seen everywhere.Judging from this, it was clear that even a secluded place like the outskirts was filled with wealthy people.Harvey casually took a few glances before coming to the entrance. After mentioning Aria Surrey’s name at the reception, he was respectfully invited to enter.No matter how lavish
“You just waltzed in here?Judith Pedler was in disbelief.“This place is heavily guarded, Harvey! Don’t say things like that!“You’ll get yourself thrown out if you do!”“Heh! Nothing that came out of his mouth has been true anyway!Billie Higgs walked over before showing a cold glare.“If I’m correct, he must’ve used the Higgs family’s name to get in!“The others probably think he’s a part of the family! That has to be the only reason why!”Billie was being utterly disdainful and arrogant as she glared at Harvey.Harvey felt a little speechless. It was safe to say Billie was a little too good at holding grudges.Dark circles were forming around her eyes. She must have been so angry that she could not sleep a wink the previous night.“Billie’s right, Judith,” replied Harvey with a smile.“Everyone in the outskirts knows about this anyway.“I’m destined to become the Higgs family’s live-in son-in-law.“It’s only natural for them to let me inside, right?”Judith was shock
"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
