Reggie glared furiously at Harvey after hearing his words.“I admit defeat this time, kid!“But don’t worry! Next time, I’ll make sure I’ll get a lawyer with me when I bring people to take you out! I’ll be able to get out unscathed after that!”“Oh? Is that so? I’m so scared!”Harvey stood in front of Reggie with his arms crossed, then chuckled after sizing him up. “Since you’re going to kill me anyway, it’d be fine if I charge you interest first, right?”Harvey grabbed Reggie’s hair, then slammed his head onto the marble table.Cracks were instantly formed along with the loud bang.The men in suits and the beautiful women wouldn’t even dare let out a shriek.They thought a small fry that could only play by the rules wouldn’t be impressive at all. After all, good dogs don’t bite.Who knew that Harvey would be this fierce?The long-haired man shivered in rage; he wanted to step forward, but he was held back when Ray pointed his knife at him calmly. Reggie screamed in pain; h
Harvey smiled; he didn’t mind the situation at all. After all, numbers never mattered to him in the first place.Reggie thought Harvey was completely shaken, as he only stood without doing anything.“You should know by now, kid!” he exclaimed bravely. “What right do you have to go against me here? What can you do?!”“It’d be simple for me to get out of here with you hostage. You think you’re the only one who can call people here? Would you even dare lay your hands on me when the police come?”“You’re calling the cops? Come on! Do it, then! If the cops can even do anything about it, then I’ll cut my head off for you to piss in!”“Forget it,” Harvey replied with a disdainful glare. “You don’t even have the right for me to do that. Take a look in the mirror first before saying something like that.”Reggie was so infuriated, he was about to pass out.“You’re finished, kid!“No matter what happens today… My men will find out everything about you!“Even your damn ancestors will be d
The room was dead silent; the long-haired man and the others were shivering in fear. They wouldn’t dare say another word anymore.They were afraid of the demon in front of them breaking every single one of Reggie’s limbs. None of them would be able to take responsibility of the situation, after all!“Tch! You people are no good after all…”Harvey tapped Reggie’s face.“You’ve already called so many people to come. And yet, you’re acting like cowards.“Why don’t you answer me something; who has the final say in this situation?”Reggie looked deep into Harvey’s eyes, and instinctively shivered. He couldn’t see any emotion in them at all. Harvey’s sense of calm was enough to send cold shivers down Reggie’s spine.Reggie, who was planning to run his mouth no matter what, finally decided otherwise.“I give up!” he exclaimed with a parched throat.Slap, slap, slap!“Louder! Did you not eat today or what? Did you not hear what I asked? Who cares if you give up?! Hit me back if you
“What do you mean?!” Reggie exclaimed after looking at his broken arms.“We’re calling the cops, of course! Those bastards got out of the situation unscathed! My arms are completely broken!“I won’t be able to forgive myself if they don’t spend a few years behind the damn bars! I have ways to take out Harvey once he’s locked up!”The long-haired man realized something, then ran off to make a few phone calls.-At this very moment, the room next door had the same dishes on the table.That said, the waiters looked at Harvey as if they were staring at the face of God.Harvey didn’t mind the situation at all; since someone else was paying for his meal, he naturally wouldn’t hold back. Other than the few dishes, a bottle of 1982 Lafite was brought over as well.There wasn’t a lot of movement outside when Harvey was finally done with his meal.Yvonne poured Harvey a cup of tea, smiling. “Let’s play a game, Sir York.”“What kind of game?” Harvey chuckled.“Reggie’s been boasting ab
Harvey was impressed with the amount of beautiful women in Wolsing.“And who’s that?” he asked. “One of the most respected descendants of the Hunt family’s third generation, Lady Marlee Hunt,” Yvonne said. “My relationship with her is less than stellar.”Harvey froze, then smiled faintly. “The butler, and the lady… Why are so many people here during our meal?”“Your dear mother-in-law must’ve sold you out,” Yvonne replied with a dark expression.Harvey nodded, looking curious. “They’re here for the Honey Pill?”“Most likely.”Yvonne nodded before seeming as if she was having a headache.The Hunt family was a lot different compared to someone like Reggie. No matter how impressive the Xeno family was, it was just an ordinary top-rated family.Other than the top ten families, Yvonne simply didn’t care about the rest.The Hunt family, however, was different.The leader of the five hidden families was a huge problem on its own. Simply put, even the Xavier family wouldn’t dare go
“You’re refusing?”Marlee froze. She looked at Harvey with disbelief, then frowned. “You better think twice, Sir York.“Don’t think you can go against the Hunt family just because of some dumb woman. After all, nobody who did that managed to get away unscathed.”Harvey was planning to explain the situation at first… However, his eyes instantly turned cold after seeing the high and mighty look on Marlee’s face.He put his utensils down, before glaring at Marlee with a frown. “Are you threatening me?” “I didn’t want to put it that way…” Marlee smiled. “But if you’re going to, then so be it.”“If you’re done talking, then scram. You’re not welcome here,” Harvey snapped. “You…”Marlee froze. Her looks and background would always provide her smooth sailing—and yet, the man in front of her declined her offer and shooed her out.At this very moment, she had no clue how to react.She came to her senses a moment later, then pointed at Yvonne with utter embarrassment and anger.
“Since you were children?”Harvey glanced at Yvonne with a curious expression.“Not exactly.”Yvonne calmly explained the situation.“Wolsing’s circle isn’t as big in the first place. We all got enrolled in the same schools ever since we were little.“Every time she’s interested in a man, he’d come along and pursue me. I never accepted them, but in her eyes, I was just ruining her chances of getting a great partner.”Harvey was completely speechless.‘That’s it? I was wondering what kind of insane grudge it’d be…’Bam!When both sides were about to lash out, the door was suddenly kicked down.Reggie, who wore a wretched expression before, pridefully strutted inside.He was wearing a yellow windbreaker, and was showing a completely different attitude. His hands and face had gone through the most basic treatment as well.Aside from the fierce men in suits behind him, there were also a dozen men in uniform as well. He looked like a true elite as he entered the room.The butle
The man at the front had a beer belly, with center-parted hair. He was none other than Inspector Lee himself.He squinted at Harvey for a moment; after making sure Harvey wasn’t a local figure, he chuckled coldly.“You injured a man in front of the public! He might be crippled because of this too!“Does the law not mean anything to you? Come! Bring him back for interrogation! If he dares to resist, put him down immediately!”Two inspectors chuckled coldly before stepping forward.Harvey glared at the inspectors in front of him before speaking up.“Where’s the warrant? You don’t even have any witnesses or evidence.“And yet, you’re already arresting a civilian before even getting things straight? Aren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation this way?”Inspector Lee scoffed.“Are you teaching me how to do things, kid?“You see this uniform? I am an enforcer of law! If I say that you’re guilty, then you’re nothing but that!“If you keep yapping, I’ll get you gunned down immedia
"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
