Ten minutes later, peace and quiet returned to the room.Reggie and the others had already left, with the room completely tidied up.Harvey and the others weren’t eating despite the table full of dishes; the sight alone was enough to show Reggie’s attitude towards the situation.“Are you really not going to deal with the Hunt family, Sir York?”Ray hesitated for a moment before speaking up again.“What? Do I have to?” Harvey said curiously; it was rare for Ray to be this direct.“If I remember correctly, Lieutenant Colonel Ethan is from the same family…”“Ethan?”Harvey froze before he suddenly remembered.Brothers of the Sword Camp all came from extremely wealthy families.Ethan and Travis came from the Hunt family.But because of Marlee’s attitude, he didn’t want to get himself involved.That said, he had no choice for Ethan’s sake.Harvey pondered the situation for a moment before speaking up again.“Ray, find out what’s going on with the Hunt family’s old lady. I’ll t
Harvey turned on his phone’s speakers despite Yvonne and Ray beside him.“What’s up, Ethan?”Normally speaking, Ethan wouldn’t call Harvey on his own; something must’ve happened.“There’s something I’d like to ask, Sir York; are you in Wolsing right now?”Ethan hesitated for a moment before speaking up.“Is this about your family?”“Keen eye as usual.”Ethan bitterly chuckled.“Just now, I received reports of the direct descendant plotting against someone with your name.“I was wondering if it was actually you. Those people want to die at this point…”Ethan awkwardly changed the subject.“That said, they didn’t mean to do all this; they’re just panicking at this point. For my sake, please let them off the hook…”Harvey smiled.“I wouldn’t be taking your call right now if I cared.“We’ve been brothers for many years now; just say what’s on your mind. I’m already annoyed with how much you’re beating around the bush right now.”“Can’t hide anything from you, Sir York,” Etha
Half an hour later, Harvey sat in the back of a Rolls-Royce after his breakfast.The professional driver was none other than the person who had the blessing to meet Harvey before—the butler himself.The butler couldn’t help but feel disdain when seeing Harvey’s face.After all, Harvey had already refused Marlee’s offer, yet he came back here just to check in on the old lady.The butler was sure that Harvey was just showing off at this point.Harvey ignored the butler’s expression and flipped through the documents that Ethan sent about her grandmother.That said, it was only natural for his information to be a little outdated since he wasn’t in Wolsing.Harvey kept looking through the documents before glancing at the butler.“What’s going on with the old lady right now?”The butler curled his lips, acting all high and mighty.“Just like a few days ago, she is still unconscious.“Because of your refusal to work with us, the family’s old man even asked a lot of well-known peopl
Harvey glanced around him, and saw a young female priest in a purple robe.The woman’s skin was as bright as snow, with an extremely beautiful face; she didn’t seem like a priest in the slightest.The people around seemed to be following her as well.Harvey remembered that people in purple robes were extremely well-respected.The priest felt Harvey’s gaze, and fiercely looking over. She showed a high and mighty expression. She finally looked away before treating Harvey as some talentless nobody.The others were completely disinterested in him as well.After all, the old lady’s situation was the most important.Anyone who solved the problem would be owed a huge favor from the Hunt family.“Thank you, everyone!”A man in his fifties, with a square face, slowly came over. Everyone showed stern expressions when they saw his face.“Mr. Veer!”It was clear this was the current person in charge of the Hunt family’s direct descendants, Veer Hunt. He was Ethan’s uncle, and the fathe
Veer Hunt’s eyes lit up slightly before reaching for Harvey York’s hand.“Sir York!“Marlee and Ethan mentioned about you!“No matter what happened, let’s just let bygones be bygones!“Since Ethan gave me his guarantee, I naturally trusted him too!“My mother’s life is in your hands now.”Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind.“But then, I have to tell you something right now.“This is to prevent further misunderstanding.”Veer froze.“Please.”“I don’t have the Honey Pill, but I’ll do my best to save the old lady.”Harvey looked deep into Veer’s eyes.Veer froze again after hearing Harvey’s honest words.His expression instantly darkened before regaining his composure.“I appreciate your honesty. There’s no need for my false hope anymore.“That said, I’m willing to give you a chance since Ethan recommended you.“Please!”Veer gestured to Harvey to step forward.Harvey could tell that Veer did not trust him anymore when he revealed the truth.That said, he was pretty imp
“Right! Right! Why did a kid like him get the last chance because of a recommendation?!”“What? Are all of us here useless compared to him?!”“He’s probably not as good as you think he is anyway! What are we supposed to do if he does something terrible to the old lady?“Who does he think he is?! He looks like he can cure everyone he wants to!”“Ms. Paislee is a true descendant of Mount Lynx! She’s a top talent of her sect, yet she wouldn’t do anything even after calculating her plan for so long!“Why would we care about a random nobody if that were the case?!”To those people, Harvey York was just someone who appeared out of nowhere to steal the limelight.More importantly, according to Veer Hunt’s statement, this would be the last chance anyone would get to treat her mother.Everyone would be satisfied if someone like Paislee Foster were to be the one to use the chance.But someone like Harvey would never be able to satisfy the crowd.While the crowd doubted Harvey, Veer jus
That said, it was only natural for those people to be enraged.After all, most of them had already brought their sects’ secret techniques and medicine just to curry favor with the Hunt family.Many were even prepared to go bankrupt just to get an opportunity here.And yet, what happened?Some empty-handed nobody came here to rob everyone of their chance.None of them would be happy if that was the case.A few beautiful women held their whisks while disdainfully glaring at Harvey York.In their eyes, ignorant men like him were just scumbags.Veer Hunt and the butler looked at each other before agreeing.They were being courteous towards Harvey only because of the Honey Pill.They only allowed him to perform to see if he could surprise them somehow.As for whether Harvey had the Honey Pill or not, they were unsure.Paislee Foster and the others standing up against Harvey would suit Veer’s interests better.This was why he remained silent for the longest time.Many times, si
“Not only do I know what you learned and think right now, but I also know that you’re condemning the old lady to her doom if you proceed with your plan!”Harvey York stepped forward before squinting at Paislee Foster.“We don’t know what’s going on with the old lady right now, but we know one thing for sure. Elderly people have weak bodies.“Once you infuse a sliver of your technique into her body…“Even if you manage to deal with the source of her problem, her body would also be ruined!“If I were you, I’d ask for the Lycan Pill to handle the situation instead! Maybe that’ll work better than your technique!“Oh! If I guess correctly, you probably have the pill here already.“Then again, those pills are expensive. The House of Priests doesn’t have many left, and making a new batch in this day and age would be almost impossible.“That was why you decided to use your Helianthus Technique first.“You’d have a guaranteed way to reverse the process if you screw up, right?Harvey s
"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
