The name of the villa district was called Violet District.It was the gathering place for the outskirts’ wealthy people, but they were only considered to be in the middle class.Compared to Eden Mountain’s villa area, this place was completely inferior.The people living here were all from the outskirts’ upper social circle, but they were only barely considered that way.Harvey York arrived at the district before finding the villa through his GPS application on the phone.Judith Pedler had been standing at the front door for the longest time. She quickly came forward with her face completely flushed after seeing Harvey’s arrival.“I thought you wouldn’t come.”Harvey let out a chuckle.“You invited me. Of course, I came.“Happy birthday.”Harvey casually pulled out a box.He naturally would not come empty-handed since it was Judith’s birthday.After what happened in Aenar Temple, Lennon Surrey gave him a small present.Harvey decided to give it away. He had not opened it u
“Hmph! Ms. Kali’s the lady of the Howell family! Why does she look like she’s talking to her Prince Charming?! How shameless!”Aliza Howell held a bottle of soda on the side, showing disdain toward Harvey York.She knew Harvey was boasting using Aria Surrey’s name, disrespecting Alvaro Osborne and Asher Klein back at the auction.But then, she decided to investigate the situation further.Aria was distant and never liked talking to outsiders. She had always been engrossed with martial arts.Harvey must have been lucky enough to be able to cling to her.If that were not the case, the Surrey family would not have been defending someone like him.Even if Aria looked up to Harvey, a kept man like him would have nothing going on for him other than being handsome anyway.She believed Aria would cast him away as soon as she was bored.In her mind, Kali did not need to look up to Harvey like that.Kali was a direct descendant of the Howell family, while Aliza was just a relative.Bu
The place was dead silent when a blonde man in a suit walked inside with his arms crossed. He was about five-foot-nine with golden-rimmed glasses sitting on his tall nose.Four men in white suits were also following behind him. All of them were Westerners with towering builds exuding an unspeakable murderous intent.The students around were so scared that they could not utter a single word while looking at each other.Nobody knew why these people would barge in at such a crucial moment.“It’s you?!“Who let you in?!“Get out of here!”Mrs. Pedler paused before screaming at him.Judith Pedler was showing a confused gaze as well.“Why are you back, Dad?”“Heh! I promised to see you every birthday, my dear!“I would never miss your eighteenth birthday!“After all, now you could inherit the family’s title!The man smiled gently at Judith before glancing at Mrs. Pedler.“You should remember what I told you, Indy.“I promised my daughter would live a normal life before she was
‘The Silver Knight?!’Everyone shuddered after hearing those words.The people in other places around Country H did not know what that name meant…But it was very well-known in the outskirts.After all, the Border Force had been in conflict with the forces led by the Silver Knight. They had been toe-to-toe with every battle they had so far.Both sides had reasons to suppress each other.But after the Head Coach defeated the five strongest countries, it was enough to show the Silver Knight’s charisma and leadership to remain on par with Country H’s forces.“Legends say the Silver Knight, Kyren Pedler, had ancestors from Country H who moved to the Warrior Tribe about a hundred years ago.“The tribe had a horrible life in the beginning, but after countless wars and marriages, they stood their ground in the west of Country H!“The Emperor of the Warrior Tribe is also quite fond of the Silver Knight. Safe to say that of the entire Warrior Tribe, he’s a prominent figure of the upper
Harvey York ignored everyone’s gaze while setting down his cup.“Something wrong?”Judith Pedler quickly approached her father when she saw him going for the person she was eyeing.“What are you doing, Dad? Harvey’s been very good to me! You can’t cause him trouble!”“I’m just keeping an eye on the man who’s treating you well! I should also thank him for handling some of your previous problems!“Why would I cause him trouble in that case?”Kyren Pedler smiled gently at Judith before patting her head.He showed a profound gaze when he glanced at Harvey again.“Right. There is no need to hold back. Let’s all take a seat.”Kyren casually sat in the main seat while ushering Judith there.Judith sat right beside Alvaro Osborne while Harvey sat in the back.Anyone could tell that Kyren was not fond of Harvey at all.Billie Higgs, Aliza Howell, and the others who knew Harvey’s skill were quietly waiting for Harvey to make a fool out of himself.Harvey did not mind the situation.
Everyone trembled after hearing Kyren Pedler’s words.Alvaro Osborne was incredibly exhilarated since he had previously trained in the Border Force.“I heard that the Head Coach himself is a living legend!“You’re a prominent figure who participated in that fight! Have you ever seen the Head Coach fight?”Kyren grinned.“It’s only about five years ago.“I naturally joined the fight since I hadn’t been a marquis long.“Then again, I didn’t see the Head Coach since I wasn’t in the front lines.“But to my knowledge, three out of five dukes of the Warrior Tribe lost against the Head Coach.“One of them even secluded himself after being defeated, claiming that he’d never come back out unless his combat strength progressed.“Judging from this, it should be clear how powerful the Head Coach was.“That’s why Master York can never be as good as a legendary figure like that.“That said, he’s still an extremely prominent figure in the outskirts’ younger generation.“I figured that if
A few Westerners walked out when the car doors opened.The person leading the group sized up Harvey York momentarily.“Mr. Kyren’s asking you to join him.”“Mr. Kyren? The Silver Knight?”Harvey seemed calm. He entered the car without hesitation.Half an hour later, the cars came to the edge of a desert.Hundreds of people stood with their arms folded. Judith Pedler’s father, Kyren Pedler, was in the middle of the crowd.He crossed his arms while looking at the sight before him. His white shirt fluttered in the sandy wind.Behind him, the elderly God of War looked at the sky while pondering something.“Please, Sir York.”A Westerner gestured without any intention of getting closer to Harvey.Hundreds of people around instantly looked at Harvey.Their eyes were radiating with power. Clearly, they were battle-hardened veterans.Ordinary people would be scared witless by the sight.Harvey, on the other hand, was unfazed. He calmly stepped forward until he was only a few step
Kyren Pedler stared deep into Harvey York’s eyes. He did not expect the young man before him to be this interesting.“Since you don’t want me to save the remainder of your dignity, I won’t respect you just because of my daughter either.“I’ll be frank.“You seem capable, but you’re nothing compared to the country’s top talents.“You don’t even have the right to be with my daughter, let alone anything after that.“I hope that you’d break all connection with her.“Of course, I’ll make it worthwhile for you.”Kyren waved his hand before his subordinate brought a briefcase over.Stacks of green were seen inside. Some of it even got caught in the wind in the process.“Here’s a million dollars. You should know that it’s enough for you to live the rest of your life comfortably.“Swear you’ll leave my daughter, and I’ll send you to the best school on the planet. Of course, I’ll also fund everything.“Consider this a repayment for everything you did to my daughter.”Kyren seemed det
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
