When Neil Osborne was just about to lash out, he suddenly felt a hand placed on his shoulder.“Go have your meal, Mr. Neil.“This was my problem to begin with.“I can deal with this. You don’t need to worry.”Harvey York stepped forward before smiling faintly at Neil.“Evil people will always be done by the same people.“You’re a good man. You’re not experienced enough to deal with shameless people like him.“But I’m different!“I know exactly what to do!”Harvey pushed Neil into the Budokan while showing a weird expression.Justin Walker stood up before dragging Neil by the hand.“There’s no need to stand up for Sir York, Neil.“He deals with people like this all the time.“He’d crush every single one of them the same way.“You should just sit back and watch the show.”Prince Gibson smiled.“You may not know about Sir York’s abilities, but we know him all too well!“Just relax.”Layne Naiswell lightly nodded without saying a word, quietly acknowledging Justin and Pri
Harvey York calmly glanced at Cullen Hunt standing before him.“I did arrive here.“That said, I met someone named Cullen.“He said he came from the Hunt family.“He boasted about his family being impressive because of its two Gods of War.“Let me ask you something, Ethan Hunt.“Is your family really that impressive?“Even if that were the case…“Are you people planning to stand for the Islanders as well?“Should I be disappointed in you or what?”Harvey spoke sternly.He would not be as upset if Cullen flaunted his strength through different means…But Ethan and Travis Hunt were the ones who gave him courage.Even he was siding with the Islanders, no less.Harvey’s words were as cold as night at this moment.“I remember someone named that in the outskirts.“He’s a relative of the family.“He’s in charge of the Hunt family’s business in the Desert Province, and he’s considered the spokesperson of the family’s interests.“Then again, we never permitted him to take adva
“Don’t you dare spout more nonsense, you bastard!”An internet-famous woman could not hold her feelings back.“Mr. Cullen belongs to the Hunt family!“Everyone in the Desert Province has no choice but to pay him respect, no matter their side!“Even us Islanders would have to do the same!“And yet, you’re here demanding him to kneel?!“Are you insane?!”The woman was well-known for her adult films.After going viral, she was chosen by the Shinto Way to become one of the members of the visiting group.She had been serving Cullen Hunt willingly despite having to wait an hour for his drugs to kick in every time.But in just an hour, Cullen demonstrated not only his vast knowledge but also his domineering attitude.A prominent figure like him surely would not be taken advantage of by some random nobody.“Is that so? You’re that impressive?”Harvey ignored the woman when he smiled faintly at Cullen.“Why don’t you tell the lady how long you can stay this way, Mr. Cullen?”“Shu
Caspian Lee instinctively shivered after sensing Cullen Hunt’s vengeful gaze.Sensing other people’s gazes was his forte for a traitorous man like him.Naturally, he knew he would be dragged into the grave if Cullen kneeled.He had no choice but to take a step forward for his own life.“About what happened today, no, everything yesterday was also our fault!“We were ignorant! We went up against you by accident!“We know our mistakes now!“Not only will we not ask for any compensation, but we’ll also grovel in front of you as an apology! I’m willing to pay a huge sum of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, too!“Please! Let us go! Pretend all this never happened!“Even this is for Mr. Naruse’s sake!”“A hundred and fifty thousand?Harvey curiously looked at Caspian.“What? Are you trying to chase me away with that amount?“Or are you saying I wouldn’t dare kill you right now because of your benefactor?“Let me tell you something. Your yapping will only get you one thing.
On the next day, after the subjugation of Cullen Hunt and the others.Naruse Toyotomi came to the courtyard as usual.He sat on a dry stone with his sword lying on his lap.After a while, he lightly waved his hand on the sword when a fierce aura dissipated from his body.The temperature of the place slowly rose after that.Naruse’s strength was perfectly demonstrated through his simple training.When he went to the porch for breakfast, a beautiful suited secretary quickly approached him.The secretary held a laptop when she respectfully bowed before him.“This is bad, Mr. Naruse,” she whispered in Naruse’s ear.Naruse had a taste of his meal before he spoke.“Talk.”“Something happened last night.“Caspian brought a group of people to pay Harvey a visit, but they all came back defeated.“I don’t know what had happened…“But Cullen switched sides.“He used his power to force Tojo into apologizing in the Island Nations’ newspaper headlines. He also announced that he was in
“So, Cullen’s…”The secretary moved her thumb across her neck.Naruse Toyotomi was not as narrow-minded as the others. He pondered the situation for a long while before calmly speaking.“A loss is still a loss.“We need to acknowledge that.“No need to bury our heads in the sand.“There’s no need to do anything to Cullen either. People might think we’re sore losers if we do!“Harvey isn’t someone he can handle anyway…“I wanted to deal with him for Mr. Amos’s stead initially.“But it doesn’t seem like it’s possible after all.”Naruse put on a stern expression.He knew of everything Harvey York had done in the outskirts.Based on Naruse’s behavior, he would not underestimate such a strong figure.Even so, he felt dejected since Harvey was still unscathed.“Tell them to act as soon as possible.Naruse quickly decided on another thing.“If I slow down now…“I’ll also suffer losses there!“After all, there isn’t much time left.”The secretary quickly nodded before pullin
Cullen Hunt let out a bitter chuckle.“This is the extent of the Hunt family’s authority, Sir York.“After all, the publisher’s headquarters is in Kyoto. We’ve already invested a lot in this.“We even sacrificed a few of our spies there…”“No need to tell me about that.Harvey instantly cut off Cullen.“The moment you stand with the Islanders—the moment you work for Evermore, you should realize it’s all bound to happen.“You’re a dead man at this point, yet you’re still speaking up for your family…“Looks like you’re not much of a traitor as I initially thought, huh?Cullen just chuckled without saying another word.He knew he was a dead man. Even if Naruse did not take any action, the Hunt family would not hesitate to make him disappear from this world.His best choice was to make an excuse to hide himself for the rest of his life. That way, his wife and children could live on without worry.Speaking up for the family in front of Harvey would mean preserving a bright futur
When Harvey York received the call, the Mandrake Residence was in utter chaos.A scarlet fire was clearly seen in the sky.Even Stefan Augustus, who believed himself to be a scheming man, never expected his enemy to be this insane.The Mandrake Residence was set on fire since the enemy could not force the people to come outside.Half of the guards were already taken out in just half an hour.That said, they did not fall in battle either. Many of them fell unconscious after breathing in the thick smoke.Evermore planned to deal with Stefan swiftly, forcing Amos Augustus to side with them.Other than setting the place on fire, they prepared other methods of assassination as well.Many of the experienced fighters were taken out all of a sudden.The assassins looked like ghosts creeping in the dark, easily hiding in the shadows.Islanders who were well-versed in their martial arts would figure out that those people were using none other than the Koga Ninjutsu.The technique did
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
