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
“Yes.” Harvey nodded. “A quiet, comfortable and safe house. Most importantly, the facilities must be perfect.”Tara Lewis understood that Harvey York wanted to buy a villa. Otherwise, he could have simply bought another house in the Gardens Residence. After all, it was the best community in Buckwood.“Well, our company has the type of villa you want.” Tara said quickly. “I’ll show it to you.” She then turned around and said, “Uncle, aunt. I’m sorry about today. I have to deal with my classmate’s request first. Let’s meet again next time.”She was initially against this marriage because she felt that it was too soon. Harvey came at the right time, giving her an excuse to get away.Looking at it in this way, she was quite grateful to Harvey.Tara’s parents stood up as well and said, “Let’s do this. Since everyone has almost finished eating, let’s take a look at your working environment. How about it?”Although Tara was against this marriage, her parents were impatient and wanted
Everyone was stunned into shock.They shot Harvey York and Tara Lewis looks of disbelief.“Buy…buy a villa…?” Frank’s voice was trembling.“Yes! Buying a villa.” Tara said bluntly. “If you want an ordinary house or a large apartment, the Gardens Residence will have it.” Frank was quite baffled. His assets weren’t enough to buy a house in the Gardens Residence, even the smallest one.Let alone a villa in the Gardens Residence!None of the villas on sale were under sixteen million dollars.Frank’s father suddenly burst out in laughter. “Young man, you’re doing great business! You must have received a lot of commissions and rebates from buying a villa for someone, am I right?”Harvey was just an intermediary in Old Man Zummo’s eyes.“Hehehe, seems we’ve underestimated you. No wonder you’re so eager to find Tara. This big of an order should have a commission of tens of thousands, correct?”Frank quickly regained his senses and mocked Harvey.Truthfully, he was still a little en
Harvey did not even ask about the price.Shawn Bell and his wife were his best friend’s parents. He must give them the best of the best, and nothing less.It was just a villa. It was nothing much.For Harvey, this was just part of his everyday life.However, Frank Zummo and his father took in the scene in utter shock.They thought the treatment Harvey received was just random luck, and that Harvey was just pretending to be rich.Nonetheless, now they could see that Harvey was truly rich.He didn’t need to ask the price when he bought the villa. He treated it as if it was a mere cabbage from a roadside stall!Thinking of their cynicism against Harvey previously, they flushed in embarrassment.Perhaps in Harvey’s eyes, they looked like complete clowns.“Mr. York, this way.” Wilson Carter said diligently. “Do you want to have a look at the drawings first?”Harvey thought for a brief moment and ultimately decided that he should have a look. At the very least, he should know abou
Standing on the sidelines, Tara Lewis was unperturbed.She was only slightly dazed.Harvey’s order alone would grant her a commission of at least 1.5 million dollars.She didn’t even need to do anything, and had just simply watched the events unfold in silence.Seeing that Tara had earned one million dollars in an instant, her parents suddenly felt that Frank was very ordinary.Their daughter could earn a million in just one day. For a man who had properties of only a few million, he was completely out of her league.One in the city center, one in the suburbs, and one at the seaside… How could all these be compared with a villa that was casually bought?“Old Man Zummo, I think we should put aside our children’s affairs for now. We’ll talk about it later.”Tara’s father stood up and said ruthlessly.“Huh? No, what does that have to do with anything?”When Frank saw that Tara could easily earn a million dollars, he was even determined to win her over. However, her father’s word
Nighttime.A group of people from the Silva family led by Brent Silva came to see the Zimmers. This time, he did not give Zack Zimmer any face. His presence intimidated Senior Zimmer and the rest of the Zimmers.“Young Master Silva, what wind has blown you here? It’s already midnight…”Senior Zimmer looked at the crowd in black suits tagging along Brent, trembling. He could hardly speak.Brent’s face was cold, not a trace of gentleness in his expression.“What wind? Of course, it’s the fatal wind!” Brent snarled coldly.“Your live-in son-in-law is certainly amazing! How dare he interfere with the Silva family’s affairs?!”“Do you think that once you have Sky Corporation’s backing, the Silva family can’t do anything to you?”“I’m warning you! You better give me a clear explanation on this matter! The Silva family was the one who allowed you into Buckwood, and we can also send you back to where you came from!”“If this whole problem isn’t properly handled, forget the engagement!
“What?”“You’ve always been like this! You never care about how I feel!”“Now you have completely offended the Silva family, and they’re taking it out on the Zimmers!”“There’s absolutely no room for the Zimmers to survive in Buckwood if the Silvas are dissatisfied with us!”“Our lives might even be in danger. Are you trying to kill us all?”Mandy had already broken down in tears.Harvey wasn’t able to explain anything at all. Under these circumstances, he couldn’t say anything.“What should we do now?”Senior Zimmer had a headache.Zack Zimmer thought of an idea. “There’s only one solution now…”“Let Mandy divorce Harvey!”“Only then, the Zimmer family won’t have anything to do with him!”“That’s the only way we can save ourselves!”Quinn Zimmer and others immediately shouted their approval. “Yes! Divorce him immediately! Divorce him right now!”“Only then will everything be solved.”Although both Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates had been ostracized from the family, they s
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
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
