The dealer opened the lid.“One! One!“One…?”The dealer’s confident look instantly worsened.The dice were all weighed by mercury.She could make them any number she wanted.She planned to toy Harvey York by making the last number different than whatever Harvey bet on…And yet this happened.This was unbelievable!Harvey pulled back his hand from the table before he burst out laughing.“Triples!“That’s seven million dollars for me!“Not bad! Not bad at all! This is way faster than robbing a damn bank!“Give me my money already!”The dealer’s expression instantly darkened after seeing Harvey laughing nonstop.The people around were also completely shocked.‘Triples?!’‘He actually won the bet?!’‘This is unbelievable!’A beautiful woman on the second-floor balcony frowned as she squinted downstairs.Harvey showed a weird look.The secretary beside the woman pulled out her laptop and looked into the situation for a moment.“Ms. Romina! Isn’t that the person who we
“Here’s your money.”Before the dealer could even say anything, Romina Klein slowly stepped down the spiral stairs.Then, she flicked a check on the table before Harvey York.“Since Eve Clubhouse is open for business, we naturally put our reputation above everything else.“As long as you can, we’ll pay seventy million if necessary. You also can take the money out of here anytime you want.“That said, I’m afraid you’ll have to give us an arm first.“We won’t do anything else to you if you do.”Everyone gasped before glaring at Harvey with disdain.‘He won seven million in just three rounds! Everyone knows that it’s impossible!’‘After all, nobody in this world would be that lucky!’‘And if the Crimson Spider’s here, it probably means that the kid got caught cheating or something!’“You want me to give you an arm?Harvey squinted at Romina with a calm look.“You must be the boss of Eve Clubhouse, Ms. Romina Klein, right?“What did I even do to deserve such treatment?”“Do
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that for you.Romina Klein glared coldly.“Besides, you should be the one explaining the situation.“Are you going to break your arm yourself? Or would you like my men to help instead?”Harvey York chuckled before picking up a die on the table, tilting his head to the side.“Are you sure that I’m the one cheating?“Don’t you know if you accuse me of something I didn’t do before this many people…“I can sue you for slander?”Romina scoffed.“Do it then! Should I call the police for you?“I want to see if any inspector would even stand up for you!”Everyone burst out laughing after hearing those words.“This guy doesn’t know what’s good for him, Ms. Romina!“He’s disrespecting you for cheating on your own turf! He’s also looking down on all of us!“I should just twist his arm off for you instead!“Hahaha!”Many people were showing bloodthirsty looks. Twisting off an arm and a leg was just something they did regularly.“That’s unnecessary.”Rom
Romina Klein has been maintaining Eve Clubhouse for many years. This place was also an important stronghold for the Wolven Tribe.And yet it was ruined by Harvey York just like that!From then onward, the reputation of this place was completely shattered!The prominent figures from the borders of Country H and Mongolia would no longer spend their money here.They would even find ways to get revenge.After all, so much of their hard-earned money was scammed here.Romina was on the verge of passing out after seeing the sight before her.“See? You should’ve just answered my questions in the first place.“Not only did you want my arm, but you also got these useless filths to threaten me.“What’s the point?Harvey sighed.“I didn’t intend things to go this way…”Then, Harvey looked at the crowd around him.“Eve Clubhouse has been scamming you for the longest time!“Don’t you want to get back what’s yours?“Or are you saying you people wouldn’t dare lay a single finger on this
Romina Klein gritted her teeth for a long while.“I don’t know the full detail…“But you should know who did all this to you.“The Klein family owed this person a huge favor.“He wanted us to fabricate a lie so that you’d stay locked up forever.“He was also the one who provided us with the evidence.“From a certain perspective, we were just doing as told.“He convinced us to do it mainly because we’re the wealthiest family in the outskirts. The police wouldn’t doubt us because of this.“That’s why our evidence is irrefutable.”“Who were the people who carried this out in the family?”“Asher Klein, a direct family descendant,” replied Romina quietly.“Good.”Harvey stood before patting Romina’s face.“Bring your men and come with me.“We’ll ask Asher about this too.“If both confessions are the same, you’ll be safe.“But if I find out that you even made a single lie about this, you’re dead.“Are you coming or not?”Harvey smiled while looking at Romina.She did not h
The next day.In a courtyard halfway up Scuva Mountains.This place was provided by Aenar Temple for people to practice an ascetic life.The place was called Mandrake Residence.Asher Klein sat near the edge of a cliff while looking out the window. He could not help but feel energized when seeing the billowing clouds.Beside him, a beautiful woman was making some tea.“Why would you come this early, Mr. Asher?“Don’t you despise this place the most?”The woman was from the Island Nations. She was an exchange student of Oaklands University and the university’s vice president, Nanako Kawashima.Asher briefly pondered about the situation before he frowned.“You don’t have to follow me here, you know.”Nanako smiled.“I think it’s only natural that I do after seeing you have something on your mind.“Besides, you should know that my uncle, the Kawashima monk who doesn’t teach, is currently exchanging interacting with the Aenar Temple.“I’m planning to introduce him to you soon
Knock knock knock!As Asher Klein was pondering if he should pounce on Nanako Kawashima, someone suddenly knocked on the door.“Come in.”Asher held himself back before quickly composing himself.A steward of the Klein family quickly came inside before whispering into his ear.“What?!“Eve Clubhouse was burned down?!“And Romina’s nowhere to be found?!”Asher quickly lost all color on his face.Romina Klein was in charge of the Klein family’s underground businesses.Not only did she have a huge amount of evidence of the family’s crimes, but she also had a group of powerful and loyal sacrificial soldiers.More importantly, she was the one who knew what happened to Harvey York from start to finish.One of the biggest reasons that Asher went into hiding was Harvey.Since one of the crucial people involved with him disappeared, this was no less than terrifying.“Did the family say anything about this?”The steward quickly changed his expression.“The eldest young master sen
Asher Klein froze.“What do you mean by that?”“As long as you marry me, the Kawashima family will use everything we have on the outskirts, the entire country, just for you to rise to power.“We have the money and the manpower.“The Klein family wouldn’t be able to oppose you as long as we have your back.“And when you rise to power, it’s only a matter of time before you destroy the Wolven Tribe, the three great tribes, and be included in one of the three great temples.”With Nanako’s words, Asher still had a bright future ahead of him.“And what do I have to pay for that?“This is a lot of help from the family…“What’s the price for that?”Nanako merely smiled.“There is none.“Not just that, we’ll even ask the Emperor to include you as one of the newest members of the royal family. Not only will you have your own land in the Island Nations in the future, but our child will also get the glory of inheriting the honor!”Asher’s eyes lit up. In reality, Nanako proposed that
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
