âHmph! Ms. Kaliâs the lady of the Howell family! Why does she look like sheâs talking to her Prince Charming?! How shameless!âAliza Howell held a bottle of soda on the side, showing disdain toward Harvey York.She knew Harvey was boasting using Aria Surreyâs 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.âItâs you?!âWho let you in?!âGet out of here!âMrs. Pedler paused before screaming at him.Judith Pedler was showing a confused gaze as well.âWhy are you back, Dad?ââHeh! I promised to see you every birthday, my dear!âI would never miss your eighteenth birthday!âAfter all, now you could inherit the familyâs title!The man smiled gently at Judith before glancing at Mrs. Pedler.âYou should remember what I told you, Indy.âI promised my daughter would live a normal life before she was
âThe Silver Knight?!âEveryone shuddered after hearing those words.The people in other places around Country H did not know what that name meantâŠBut 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 Knightâs charisma and leadership to remain on par with Country Hâs forces.âLegends say the Silver Knight, Kyren Pedler, had ancestors from Country H who moved to the Warrior Tribe about a hundred years ago.âThe tribe had a horrible life in the beginning, but after countless wars and marriages, they stood their ground in the west of Country H!âThe Emperor of the Warrior Tribe is also quite fond of the Silver Knight. Safe to say that of the entire Warrior Tribe, heâs a prominent figure of the upper
Harvey York ignored everyoneâs gaze while setting down his cup.âSomething wrong?âJudith Pedler quickly approached her father when she saw him going for the person she was eyeing.âWhat are you doing, Dad? Harveyâs been very good to me! You canât cause him trouble!ââIâm just keeping an eye on the man whoâs treating you well! I should also thank him for handling some of your previous problems!âWhy would I cause him trouble in that case?âKyren Pedler smiled gently at Judith before patting her head.He showed a profound gaze when he glanced at Harvey again.âRight. There is no need to hold back. Letâs all take a seat.âKyren 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 Harveyâs skill were quietly waiting for Harvey to make a fool out of himself.Harvey did not mind the situation.
Everyone trembled after hearing Kyren Pedlerâs words.Alvaro Osborne was incredibly exhilarated since he had previously trained in the Border Force.âI heard that the Head Coach himself is a living legend!âYouâre a prominent figure who participated in that fight! Have you ever seen the Head Coach fight?âKyren grinned.âItâs only about five years ago.âI naturally joined the fight since I hadnât been a marquis long.âThen again, I didnât see the Head Coach since I wasnât in the front lines.âBut to my knowledge, three out of five dukes of the Warrior Tribe lost against the Head Coach.âOne of them even secluded himself after being defeated, claiming that heâd never come back out unless his combat strength progressed.âJudging from this, it should be clear how powerful the Head Coach was.âThatâs why Master York can never be as good as a legendary figure like that.âThat said, heâs still an extremely prominent figure in the outskirtsâ younger generation.âI figured that if
A few Westerners walked out when the car doors opened.The person leading the group sized up Harvey York momentarily.âMr. Kyrenâs asking you to join him.ââMr. Kyren? The Silver Knight?âHarvey 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 Pedlerâs 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.âPlease, Sir York.âA 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 Yorkâs eyes. He did not expect the young man before him to be this interesting.âSince you donât want me to save the remainder of your dignity, I wonât respect you just because of my daughter either.âIâll be frank.âYou seem capable, but youâre nothing compared to the countryâs top talents.âYou donât even have the right to be with my daughter, let alone anything after that.âI hope that youâd break all connection with her.âOf course, Iâll make it worthwhile for you.âKyren 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.âHereâs a million dollars. You should know that itâs enough for you to live the rest of your life comfortably.âSwear youâll leave my daughter, and Iâll send you to the best school on the planet. Of course, Iâll also fund everything.âConsider this a repayment for everything you did to my daughter.âKyren seemed det
Harvey York seemed shocked.âOnly now you can tell? I thought I was being obvious!âDid you get your title by giving up your intelligence or something?âKyren Pedler showed a hint of rage before quickly holding it back.âYouâve got guts, young man,â he said with a faint smile.âAfter all, the young ones would always think theyâre above all.âThey think theyâre on top of the world.âItâs a shame. Proud people like you can only earn minimum wage after graduating.âIf you can hold your pride back a little, maybe you could achieve something.âBut if you think the world revolves around you, then you must be too naive.âYouâre not worth my concern anymore.âKyren turned around with his arms crossed.His subordinates also coldly glared at Harvey.âYoung man, if you cast away your pride and do as my master saysâŠâ advised the elderly man, looking curious.âMaybe heâd give you a chance to become a successful person.âIn your eyes, this may seem like humiliation.âBut when you loo
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, youâre 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 itâŠ!" 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
