Billie Higgs bitterly frowned.Not only was Harvey York embarrassing himself by divulging the truth, but he was also dragging the Higgs family down with him.After all, he had an arranged marriage with Billie.Judith Pedler was also shocked.“Harvey, how…?” she asked instinctively.“I was invited here.”Harvey completely ignored everyone’s disdainful gazes.“You were?Master Gatlin froze before showing suspicion.“This is a prestigious auction house.“Typically speaking, everyone would need an invitation to get in, no matter how high their status.“Only a few people have the right to invite others to the auction house.“Who invited you here?“Please tell me their name.”“Just call someone and ask them about it if you’re curious.”Master Gatlin’s heart skipped a beat after seeing Harvey’s nonchalant look.If the prominent figures of the outskirts were the ones who invited Harvey here, it would mean trouble for him as well.Aenar Temple was powerful, but they still had t
Everyone was showing pitiful expression when looking at Harvey York.‘He’s still being stubborn?’‘He’s probably regretting it by now…’‘Who would even stand up for him now that people like Asher and Alvaro revealed his identity?’‘Besides, Asher made it extremely clear at this point…’‘Harvey was just an ordinary person without any special connections.’‘Everyone around could trample on a man like that…’‘Unless they were afraid of dirtying their shoes.’Lorel Bree coldly scoffed.“I expect nothing of such filth! No matter how strong he is, he’s still completely useless!”Teo Fairman held his broken arm, pondering if he should spend some money for Aenar Temple to be a little more ruthless towards Harvey.Roger Cobb scoffed. It was truly embarrassing for him to lose against such filth.But as Lorel said, he would mean nothing in the circle with combat prowess alone.Asher Klein could not even be bothered to take a glance at Harvey.A prominent figure like him would not in
Everyone froze after hearing those words. Nobody thought anyone would even stand up for Harvey York at this point.The crowd gave way before a woman with slender legs in a custom-made robe appeared.The woman had a face as beautiful as a painting and an unspeakably fierce aura, as if she were an actual princess, stopping people from even looking her directly in the eye.“Whoever did this is clearly going against Young Master Alvaro and Young Master Asher here! They just want to die at this point!”“Ignorant fool!”Some people barely considered a part of the upper social circle could not help but speak to pamper Alvaro Osborne and Asher Klein.But others quickly shut them up.“Are you insane?!”“Don’t you know this person?!”“She’s Mr. Lennon’s most adored princess of the Luster Tribe!”“What?! That’s her?!”Cold sweats started dripping down everyone’s backs.Compared to Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler, the title was simply extraordinary.The person was none other than the o
“I wouldn’t have acted that way if I knew he was your important guest!“But now I know. Please be the better person and give me a chance!”Master Gatlin smiled faintly with his head lowered, thinking he would not be treated that harshly.Aria Surrey completely ignored him when she approached Harvey York.“I’m sorry, Sir York. I didn’t plan things through.“I’ll make it a point to give you a proper explanation.”Aria coldly glared around her.Harvey was an outstanding man.Not only did he take down the troublemakers of the Outskirts Budokan with a single slap, but he also dealt with the Surrey family’s biggest problem.Aria was about to go crazy after thinking about just that.Though, Harvey could not be bothered. He did not want to cause a scene in a small place like this.“It’s fine. It’s just some small fry barking around,” said Harvey casually.“There’s no need to ruin your mood because of this.”Harvey was just about to leave.It was a good thing for him to attend the
Master Gatlin instinctively looked at Alvaro Osborne.He most likely did something like this because of him anyway.He only wanted Alvaro to speak on his behalf at this very moment.If not, he would have to beg for mercy.Alvaro’s eyes also kept twitching.He was the young master of the Osborne family and a part of the Border Force. He was a man with immense power and authority…But that did not mean he could go against the Surrey family.After all, there were many young masters of the Osborne family, but only one princess in the Surrey family!Aria was also Lennon Surrey’s beloved granddaughter.Alvaro had no idea what to do because of that.After seeing Aria being this respectful towards Harvey York, he instantly felt like slapping himself in the face.‘Is this all true?‘Am I not dreaming here?’That said, Alvaro could not just sit still at this point.If he pretended nothing ever happened in the first place, he would only embarrass himself even further.He had no cho
When Alvaro Osborne ran away with his tail between his legs, Asher Klein seemed horrible.Harvey York was not directly confronting him, nor did Aria Surrey say anything to him…But this was not something worth celebrating either.Rather, Harvey’s arrogance was no different than ignorance.Judging from Asher’s prideful attitude, he could never stomach such humiliation.That said, Aria was at the top of her generation in the Surrey family.Asher belonged to the Wolven Tribe’s direct descendant, but just like Alvaro, he was not chosen to be a successor. On the contrary, he had siblings fighting against him for the throne.They were destined to be inferior compared to Aria.Simply put, Alvaro and Asher had no right to go against Harvey since Aria was supporting him.-Roger Cobb, Lorel Bree, and Teo Fairman were shocked to their core.Nobody thought Harvey could fight back as he was about to be crushed.Typically speaking, this simply was not possible!And yet it happened…“W
“Even though Aenar Temple is holding the auction, the Surrey family is the biggest investor of the event.“I thought I didn’t need an invitation for you. After all, that wouldn’t be right judging from a man of your stature.“I didn’t think that this would happen…“I didn’t plan things through. Please forgive me.”Aria Surrey intentionally ambled while she was walking with Harvey York.She carefully looked at Harvey’s profile, waiting for a response.“It’s not a big deal.”Harvey looked as if what happened did not bother him at all.Aria felt confused.‘As expected from a master like him. People like Alvaro and Asher are completely inferior compared to him…’The two came to the third floor. This was where the auction would be held.Many people were already sitting in the dark corners, quietly anticipating the auction to start.Harvey and Aria’s appearances attracted quite a lot of attention, but the people around here were all prominent figures of the outskirts. As long as t
The Black Card was a symbol of great status and also represented Harvey York’s wealth.Aria Surrey thought he only had the combat prowess to back himself up. Her heart was throbbing nonstop while she was completely sluggish.She thought showing Harvey’s immense wealth would probably make Harvey look up to the family…But she understood that Harvey was more than meets the eye.A man close to being a God of War having a Black Card…People like that would surely have immense strength and riches.He most likely also had immense authority in Golden Sands as well.The Surrey family could not find anything about him, probably because of Harvey’s extremely high status.This would explain his calm demeanor despite what had happened.After all, why would a powerful man like him even argue with someone lower than him?Worms would always remain as worms, after all.Aria quickly hid the last bit of her pride when she respectfully spoke.“I heard many people here are interested in this,
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"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
