Miley froze after hearing Harvey’s words.“Who do you think you are? You want him to kneel?“Even if you’re six feet under, Mr. Stefan will never kneel! Who do you think he is?“Only God can make him do such a thing! At least look in the mirror first before saying something like that!”Harvey chuckled.“Well now, you’re going to have to grovel.”Miley’s eyes were ice-cold. “You’ll suffer a horrible death speaking to him like that! Let me tell you something! You…”Slap!Before Miley finished talking, Stefan had already slapped her to the ground.“Shut up! Shut up right now!”“Mr. Stefan! Why?!” Miley covered her face, filled with disbelief. She didn’t think she’d end up like this after speaking up for Stefan.Slap!Stefan swung the back of his palm forward again, sending Miley flying. He couldn’t care less about holding back at this point.After kicking Miley in the face a few times, he coldly spoke up.“If you keep yapping, I’ll kill you myself!”Because of her, he had
After a moment, Harvey kept the One-Eyed Bea.“I can feel his sincerity now.“Since the bead’s mine, I’ll naturally take good care of it.“However, I heard there’ll be a ceremony for the Aenar Temple not long after this. Maybe I’ll give it out when that happens.“Hopefully you’ll treat me to some tea by then, Mr. Stefan.”Harvey then turned around and left.Everyone was dead silent.‘Where did he come from? He’s terrifying!‘He managed to get someone like Stefan to suffer this badly!’Stefan slowly stood up before glaring at Harvey. Nobody knew exactly what he was feeling. However, his hand was clearly shivering in anger.He would’ve thrown hands if he didn’t hold himself back.It was only natural for him to be this angry, though.He came to acquire the One-Eyed Bead for the Aenar Temple. Not only would it become a great story, he’d be able to rise in the ranks in the Aenar Temple. His position would be completely solidified.Harvey’s appearance not only screwed with his p
The auction ended without a sound. What happened on the third floor would never be revealed.Everyone knew that Miley’s threats weren’t just empty words.If someone spoke about what happened, the ruthless woman would surely find out everything before slaughtering said person along with their entire families.Naturally, not a lot of people would talk about Harvey either. However, his name would be etched in the hearts of every single person in the outskirts’ upper social circle.They couldn’t go against someone like Stefan, but they wouldn’t dare challenge Harvey either.After all, someone who dared to make Stefan kneel were naturally extraordinary people as well.After going to the parking lot, Aria hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.“Going against Mr. Stefan might be a bad idea, Sir York…”“What? Is he that impressive?”Harvey had no intention of looking up Stefan’s identity in the first place. He disliked the way that Stefan did things, but he decided to f
After a few minutes, the car finally left the tower and reached the highway.“It doesn’t matter if you’re scared or not, Harvey,” Aria said.“After that incident, you’re fated to go against Stefan. There’s no chance for you two to reconcile anymore.”Aria was filled with disbelief. She saw that Harvey managed to make Stefan grovel in front of him, but it still felt like a dream nonetheless.Or rather, there weren’t a lot of times that the three great temples would suffer, since their status was simply too powerful—let alone a consul.Aria was wondering how she was going to report the situation to Lennon.She wanted the Surreys to stay away from Harvey for the time being.He was a strong man, but he was simply too dangerous. His actions were incompatible with the family as well.Harvey looked calmly at the cars outside the window. Nobody knew if he managed to see through Aria or not.“Do you really think that without what happened… Everything would just end without a hitch, Ms.
“Judging from Stefan’s actions, maybe your family has one of the Eyed Beads…”Harvey smiled faintly.Aria shivered.“But that doesn’t sound right at all. I heard that many years ago, the four great tribes and the Wolven Tribe’s two families had one each.“The three great temples, too.“All Nine Eyed Bead are split to the outskirts’ different forces.“But as time passed, the legends became untrue.“For example, where did you even get the bead if it was true?”“Who knows what’s actually real or not anyway?“That said, the Aenar Temple has a reason to target the Surrey family. Your grandfather knows exactly why.“Another thing. The three great temples are used to being high and mighty after so many years. They have no respect for the outside world anymore.“Judging from Stefan’s actions, they have no bottom line either.“Tell your grandfather to get ready. The outskirts are about to be in an uproar.”After seeing the dark clouds outside the window, Harvey chuckled.“A storm’
“Of course, it doesn’t matter how angry Stefan is.“He won’t do anything to you today. After all, he’d get too much attention if he does.”Harvey was calm.There was something else that he didn’t say.No matter how rich and powerful Stefan was… This was the Aenar Temple’s territory.Stefan had tons of ways to deal with Harvey as long as he played within the rules… But if he planned to lay his hands on Aria, he’d have to seek support from prominent figures with powerful forces. If he did that, though, he’d be seen as desperate.These prominent figures might not lend their forces that easily, either.Aria thought about the situation for a moment.“Would you want to leave first? Even if they’re trying to…”Harvey was speechless; he didn’t think that the fourth lady of the Surrey family would be this silly sometimes.“It’s fine. If I can’t even deal with such a small situation…” he said, tapping Aria’s shoulder. “I would’ve died countless times by now.”Aria bit on her lip w
After getting the feeling that Harvey touched the ID, the inspector took a few steps back. He pulled out his firearm and pointed it at Harvey’s head.He then waved his hand, signaling for the other inspectors to step up. Loud clacks were heard as the inspectors removed the safeties of their guns, looking fierce. “What are you doing?” Harvey showed an innocent expression. “I only took a look at your ID! There’s no need for this.”The inspector’s face darkened instantly.“You’re being arrested, Harvey York! You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used in the court of law!”Before Harvey could say anything, Aria had already gotten out of the car with a frown.“I am Aria Surrey of the Luster Tribe! I don’t know who you’re going against for doing this…but you better keep your firearms away from this!“Another thing! Sir York is our important guest. Going against him would mean going against the entire Surrey family!”The inspector scoffed.“We know the
After all, the dizzy pill incident had been shaking up the entire outskirts recently.If Harvey were blamed for this, not only would the inspectors be renowned for solving the case… Harvey would be taken out as well.No matter how powerful he was, no matter how strong of a background he had, he’d be trapped in a hopeless situation.The inspector quickly calmed himself down.He fearlessly tore the tape off his ID and burned it with a lighter, then glared coldly at Harvey.“It doesn’t matter if you’re a suspect or not! You’re coming with us regardless!“If not, we can shoot you down in the name of the law!“It doesn’t matter if you’re the holder of a Black Card, or an important guest of the Surrey family! The law will always prevail!”He waved his hand before speaking up again.“Go!”“How dare you?!” Aria exclaimed.Wildcat came out of the car with a cold expression as well.However, Harvey shook his head calmly. “It’s fine. I’ll go with them. You should head back first, Ms
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
