“You’re not?!”Andie looked at him with a horrible expression.“Let me tell you something, Harvey! There are some things you simply have to do, no matter what.“I understand that because of your talents at such a young age, you think you’re actually impressive. That’s why you’re acting so arrogantly.“You should know that unless you’re from the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, or the sacred martial arts training grounds…“You have no right to act like this in front of me. Do you understand?”Harvey waved his finger around, clicking his tongue.“I thought you’re completely fearless. Who knew Mr. Neil’s wife would be scared of that many people? The things you’re saying don’t fit your personality at all.”Andie’s face darkened even more.“Harvey York! The world’s always bigger than you think! Everyone should fear and respect me, let alone you!“Let me tell you something! I rarely treat people with such respect! If you don’t know what’s best for
“You…”Andie was completely infuriated; she gritted her teeth, then waved her hand. A few men in suits pulled out a huge box from the trunk of the car.Glimmers of gold leaked outside as soon as the box was opened.Rows of gold bars could be seen. There were at least a hundred bars inside the box.A huge amount of money could be exchanged in any country if the gold was even real. The amount could dazzle even an extremely wealthy person!“Enough pretending, Harvey!”Andie kicked the box over; the gold bars scattered on the ground.“Save my daughter, and all this is yours! Neil would owe you a favor as well! You have my word! If you do as I say right now, you’ll have a lot of benefits.“But if you make me leave, you’d end up horribly!”The beautiful women nodded in unison after hearing Andie’s words.It was clear that these elites scorned Harvey’s actions. People like him would always grovel in front of them, begging for them for a chance to work together.It was their first t
Harvey ignored the clamoring. He glanced calmly at Andie, smiling faintly.“You can do anything for your daughter, right? You’d even get your dear husband to owe me a favor.“I don’t need all that. All I’m asking is for you to kneel.“How about this? I’ll sweeten the deal for you. If you grovel in front of me and apologize right now… I’ll save your daughter immediately.”Andie burst out in anger. “You’re crossing the line, you bastard!”“Am I?”Harvey had no intention of going easy on Andie.“I already made the deal a lot better, and you’re still saying that?“Or are you saying that your love for your daughter is nothing compared to your pride?“You’d rather save your own dignity than your daughter?“If that’s the case, then you should just watch her die instead.“To me, Quincy’s just a random stranger anyway. People die every day. It doesn’t matter if she survives or not, right?”Harvey’s words instantly pierced Andie’s heart.Everything he said made sense.Quincy was ju
“You’re marrying me to your daughter?!” Harvey exclaimed in shock. “Do you respect your daughter at all? She’ll come back to life just to spite you for this, you know?”“You…!”Andie was about to black out after the constant provoking. She didn’t think Harvey’s tongue would be so sharp.She panted heavily while pointing at him, then dialed some numbers on her phone.The other women looked at Harvey as if he was an idiot.‘How dare he anger Mrs. Andie like that? He must have a death wish!’Vroom!All of a sudden, a G-Wagon parked at the front door.The car had exuded a fearsome aura, as if it could ram anything in its path with ease.The door opened, and a few people came out. It was Stefan and his posse.Andie and the others froze after seeing that. However, they weren’t that surprised.Andie knew that Amos had come to the budokan before this. She didn’t care much for young talents like Stefan.Then, an old monk could be seen behind him.Andie’s eyes twitched, and she qu
“Aaah!”Andie and the others were shocked by Vaati’s words.This was a lot more shocking compared to him having the Smalt Sect’s badge.After all, only a person could confirm the authority of the badge.Judging from those words, Harvey had gained the support of a Great Wall.It didn’t matter if Harvey was actually strong or not. With Vaati on his side, he’d be completely invincible.Courtney had downplayed her situation to prevent herself from being too embarrassed. Because of that, Andie and the others believed that Harvey only got Amos’s support because he begged for it.Seeing this, everyone realize that not only did Harvey have Vaati’s support…but even the Great Wall himself respected him quite a bit.Andie went a little stiff after figuring that out. After all, this meant Harvey wasn’t to be trifled with.“Your help will not be forgotten, Sir York!” Stefan looked at Harvey with passionate eyes.“I’ll put your gift to good use! Don’t worry! When I rise to power, you’ll
Andie and the others left for the ICU of the people’s hospital, their heads hung low.Neil and Yasmin showed up as well. Their faces were grim as they looked into the sick room.Around ten minutes ago, Quincy’s condition worsened again; she let out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the energy inside her kept crashing into a few of her bones, breaking them in the process.Quincy wanted to struggle, but she simply wouldn’t dare; she had no choice but to hold onto the white blanket as she shivered in pain.It was a miserable sight; she looked as if she was about to die at any moment.“It’s okay. Your father’s here. It’s alright…”Neil wanted to hold onto his daughter’s hand, but he was afraid of her condition worsening.“I’ll find a way for you to recover! Believe me! You need to hold on!”Neil hesitated for a moment before looking at Courtney, who was standing not far away from him.“Will sedatives help with Quincy’s condition? She might exhaust herself completely if this keeps up,”
“We can only ask for Harvey’s help, right?”Andie exploded, showing unbridled rage.“I don’t care if that bastard’s actually capable, or if he’s just pretending! He’s too arrogant!“If anything happens to my daughter because he wouldn’t do anything to help, I’ll make sure that he…”Andie wanted to bury Harvey with Quincy, but she instinctively shivered after thinking back on Harvey’s words.Without her daughter’s permission, she’d come back to haunt her if she even went through with such a thing.“I know you’re embarrassed, Andie…“But even if that’s the case, now’s not the time to spout nonsense.“Harvey isn’t in the wrong in the first place! He was going to help, but you two kept stopping him from doing so. Not to mention, the insults that you’ve been dishing out towards him!”Despite being worried about Quincy, Yasmin decided to speak her mind.“We need an expert martial artist to solve the problem caused by the same profession, Neil!“If you still insist on hanging onto
Seeing Neil’s face worsen, Yasmin quickly spoke up.“You’re misunderstanding the situation, Neil! Sir York isn’t the kind of man who’d make things harder for others! It’s just that…”Andie instantly cut her off with a cold chuckle.“He’s not? You think this is a misunderstanding?“Yasmin! Do you think I’m that miserable of a person? You think I’d slander Harvey for no reason? Or are you saying I want my daughter to die?“You think I have a grudge against her or something? How ignorant can you get?!”Andie instinctively glared at her husband.Compared to gritting her teeth and kneeling in front of Harvey to save her daughter, she’d feel more joy in making Harvey kneel instead!Andie was confident.She believed no matter how strong Vaati was, he’d still have to pay his respect to Neil.The authority of the Desert Province Police Station’s second-in-command was not something that an ordinary man could even imagine.Neil showed a stern gaze after hearing his wife’s words.He be
"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
