Harvey York furrowed his eyebrows. “That’s not right. I remember that William’s parents worked under an international corporation and lived in a welfare housing unit. How could they be living in a village, or all places?”Yvonne Xavier hesitated to speak. “It’s probably the Silvas’ doing. The corporation didn’t dare to go against them, so they took the house back. I heard that his parents’ pension even got terminated!”“The two elders had no choice but to move to a village. It’s rumoured that they’ve been picking up trash for a living.”Harvey’s face grew even darker.The Silvas were too much!If it wasn’t for the fact that the two elders wouldn’t have any strength for revenge, the Silvas would’ve had them killed as well.In this regard, the Silvas were far more abhorrent than Quinton!The Silvas must die!“Let’s go and see how they’re doing. William’s parents are my parents too. We’ll see who else dared to touch them.”Harvey spoke slowly, but his tone was downright intimidat
The leader instantly turned around, only to meet Harvey York’s ice-cold expression.“Who the f*ck are you?” He roared. “You dared to stop me? Do you want to die?” Crack!Harvey effortlessly exerted some pressure in his grip, and the gangster’s arm was broken immediately.He followed through with a hard kick that sent the gangster flying a few yards away. The gangster collapsed to the ground. He struggled to get up, but to no avail. He could only yell out in pain.The other gangsters rushed furiously toward Harvey, but he kicked them all away almost instantly.They all scurried away, yelping in pain. The leader bellowed at Shawn, “Old man! You actually called someone up? You just wait! You’ll be dead today!”“Brother Leroy will be here later! Wait till you get buried with that shitty son of yours!”They left soon after. The old couple closed their eyes in exasperation, looking hopeless.In these three years, they lived their worst life and had suffered terribly. One could
“It’s okay. At most, we’ll just get beaten up a little.”“Plus, we’re already old and frail. Our lives don’t have as much worth as yours!”“It’s alright even if we die!”“You have to stay alive and well, so that you can avenge our dear William!”“He was murdered by someone for sure!”Shawn Bell exclaimed, tear-stricken.William Bell’s unjustified death was obviously the old couple’s hardest pain.Harvey sighed and reassured them, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. No one can hurt you if I’m here.”“I’ll settle William’s matter as well. You’ll definitely get an explanation over what happened to him.”“No! You don’t know how scary Brother Leroy is. He can kill someone!”It was evident that this so-called Brother Leroy had succeeded in implanting great fear in everyone’s heart.When Shawn brought up his name, he couldn’t help but tremble slightly.His fear had already become a biological reaction.It only showed how powerful Leroy was, and how much he had terrorized the old couple
“You puny ant! That’s pretty brave of you!”Leroy sized Harvey York up. “Looks like you’re old Shawn’s family, huh?”“Shawn Bell, to think you have the guts to call someone over to hit one of my brothers!”“I can make you regret being born anytime I like!”“Let’s see how I’ll torture you two old hags!”Leroy threatened the old couple right in front of Harvey.He gave off such an intimidating air that Shawn and his wife were horrified to death. They begged immediately, “Brother Leroy! My nephew didn’t understand the rules of this place!”“Didn’t you want money? I still have some wood from the coffin. I’ll give you all of them, so please forgive him!”“I’ll eat leaves every day from now on to save up money for you!”“Forgive him?” Leroy sneered. “I can do that.”“In exchange, I want this girl to play with me for a while. Then you have to pay us a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the medical expenses. Lastly, I want his arm broken. Only then I’ll forget about everything!”
The crowd of powerful men parted to open a path for two people to pass through.Tyson Woods walked at the front, with Old Niner following behind.“That’s the new rising gangster, Brother Tyson! And isn’t that Old Niner? Master Niner?”Leroy was part of the street gangs. Although he could not be considered as an influential figure, he was vigilant and was very clear about the situation on the streets.Therefore, he knew most of the big shots that ruled the streets.From Tyson and Old Niner’s point of view, a small fry like Leroy was at best a little brother. No, they might not even acknowledge him as one.“Brother Tyson, Master Niner! What brings you here?!”“It’s such an honor!”Leroy quickly said, bending over to show respect.However, neither Tyson nor Old Niner cared about him.They walked into the small courtyard and then bowed in Harvey’s direction. “Master York, what can I do for you?”“What… what…”Leroy and his followers became dumbfounded. The scene before them was
“Is it true?” Shawn Bell and his wife were both emotional. “You found out who killed our William?” They were able to endure a hard time these past three years in hopes that they could one day avenge their late son.Now that their suffering was over, there was hope for revenge.If Harvey said this before, they might not have believed him.However, the scene just now instilled in them a newfound confidence in Harvey.“Uncle, Auntie, please stand up. From now on, I’ll treat you as my own parents.”“Let’s go. We’ll move out tonight and live in another place.”Soon after, Harvey left the slum with Shawn and his wife.When they exited the hut, the laneway was extremely clean. There were no traces of any scuffle whatsoever.Tyson and the rest had disappeared, as if they were never around in the first place.When Harvey and the elderly couple reached the middle of the lane, a wooden door to another house opened. A scantily clad woman with thick makeup came out. She kneeled in front
The man sitting opposite Tara Lewis was Frank Zummo. He built up his own business and started a small company, and currently had a net worth of millions. He had even bought several villas; one in the city center, one in the suburbs, and another one on the beach.Such a man was the definition of a successful person. Naturally, Tara’s parents were extremely pleased with him.They looked at him as if they were looking at their son-in-law. The more they gazed at him, the more satisfied they became.As for Frank, he knew he wanted Tara the moment he laid his eyes on her.Tara was not only incredibly beautiful, but also had a gorgeous body and plenty of useful connections.Marrying such a woman would be a great boost to his career.Frank felt that he overpowered Tara in every aspect of their careers. He knew she was well within his reach.Frank’s parents shared his sentiments. After all, their son was nothing short of amazing.“Old Man Lewis, if you think it’s okay, then let’s settle
Even Tara Lewis was just as stunned.She never thought that Harvey would be so anxious to come find her straight away.“Who are you? What are you doing here? Don’t you know where this is? Are you trying to make trouble?”Frank Zummo couldn’t help but yell in anger.He just had to say a few more sentences to bring Tara down. Yet, this guy came out of nowhere and instantly spoiled his plan.He wasn’t sure when such a good opportunity would come again.Right now, he wanted nothing more than to choke Harvey to death.Tara’s parents stared at Harvey curiously and asked, “Dear, who is this? Why does he look familiar?”Tara replied helplessly, “Father, Mother, this is Harvey.”Tara’s father’s expression changed drastically. “What? Harvey? Your college classmate? What is he doing here? How did you get in touch with him?”“He… we participated in the class gathering before.” Tara explained. “Naturally, we got in touch.” Frank’s father thundered with a darkened face, “Old Man Lewis, w
"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
