“If that works, the Hunt family would’ve just looked for a masseuse. What are you even doing here for?”The monk’s face darkened instantly. He had no way to refute Harvey’s words. He desperately wanted to speak up but simply could not get himself to do so.Then, Harvey pointed at an elderly man wearing a goatee with a sage-like aura.“Don’t think I can’t tell you’re from the School of Humanitas just because you’re not wearing a robe.“You must have the Talisman of Tranquil up your sleeve.“It’s pretty effective against nightmares and people affected with aphasia.“But I guarantee you that it won’t be helpful this time.“Not only are your teachings completely useless, but the cinnabar you used to draw the talisman was also bought online.“You’re hoping it will work when you’re using fake ingredients? What a joke.The man pointed at Harvey when he constantly stuttered, unable to string proper words.“And you…”Harvey pointed at a man who seemed like he was from Seed Frontier.
The simple words were enough to freeze Veer Hunt and the others before showing anger in their eyes.‘You’re just tricking us all at this point!’‘Who doesn’t know that the Honey Pill can save the old lady?!’‘What’s the point of reiterating what we already know?!’Paislee Foster’s eyes lit up. Nobody knew what she was thinking then.“Then again…Harvey continued before anyone else could voice their doubts.“I’m pretty confident that I can save the old lady.“Though, I need time to prepare.”Paislee could no longer hold back her feelings. She naturally needed to reclaim her dignity after being constantly disrespected.“Just say that you can’t do anything already!“What do you mean you need to prepare?!“Do you think the old lady’s life is a joke?!”Paislee glared coldly.“Since you’re acting like you actually know what you’re doing, then you should tell us what you’re planning!”Harvey glared at Paislee before writing a formula on a piece of paper.Then, he glanced at Ve
The butler quickly wrote a few numbers on the check before disdainfully setting it in front of Harvey York.Harvey had no intention of taking it.Paislee Foster’s impression of Harvey worsened.“It’s already a lot of money after you failed to fool anyone here!“If it weren’t for the Hunt family’s successful business, you wouldn’t even get the money in the first place!“Now leave!“Do you want to get thrown out after they break your legs?!”Harvey glanced at Veer, whose expression remained unchanged.“Since you’re still being courteous with me, and the fact that Ethan and I are brothers…“I’ll tell you one more thing.“The old lady’s infected with Corpse Poison!“The Honey Pill would deal with the old lady’s problem in its entirety….“But the Lycan Pill is used to invigorate life.“She might come back, but her condition would worsen under three days.“If you’re not careful, she might just die because of this too.”Harvey shook his head before turning around, prepared to l
“You’re being rude, Sir York.”Veer Hunt’s face slightly darkened despite his good temper.He angrily squinted at Harvey York when he heard someone cursing his mother.‘The priests finally decided to give their pill, and yet he’s still running his mouth here?‘If it weren’t for the fact that Ethan’s a subordinate to the Head Coach…‘I would’ve gotten people to break every single one of his limbs by now.”Harvey shook his head.“I’m telling the truth. If you do let the old lady have the Lycan Pill, she will be awake soon after.“She’d be able to eat and drink like the average person.“But seventy-two hours later, she’d be unconscious again.“When that happens, she might be able to survive as long as you release the blood in her heart.“But if you miss that timing, even God won’t be able to save her after that.”Harvey calmly shook his head.He wanted to save the old lady, but what was the point if nobody believed that?At this point, only Ethan Hunt could make this happen.
Harvey York heaved a sigh after hearing the news. It seemed like his efforts were futile after all. He was only being painted as the villain, as usual.“She won’t die immediately.Harvey briefly thought about the situation.“I know you have people in the family.“Tell them to draw some blood when the old lady falls unconscious within half an hour. She might survive for the next twenty-four hours after that.“I’ll have time to save her after that.“That said, she’d be wheelchair-bound the rest of her life.”“And what if her blood isn’t released in half an hour?” asked Ethan Hunt tremblingly.Harvey sighed.“Then, that’ll be it for her.”Ethan went dead silent.Harvey knew what he wanted to say.“I know that you have a different identity now. Then again, you have an awkward position in your family since you’re still just a bastard to them.“I understand your concerns, but it’d be better to teach them a lesson, if anything.“I’m confident your old lady will return to normal,
That said, Harvey York did not pay much attention to the Hunt family’s affairs.Ethan Hunt had not made his comeback, not because he was afraid of the Hunt family. He already had an immense identity and status at this point.Of course, if the family were to cause Harvey trouble…He would not mind teaching them a lesson either.-After a long road of silence, the car reached a private nursing home.Harvey frowned. He did not understand why Mandy Zimmer was here in the first place.After pondering the situation momentarily, he decided to make the call.Mandy rejected the call, but she quickly sent a room number.Harvey asked the front desk for the number before reaching the front of the villa.Lights were brimming throughout the place. Some guards were also posted at the entrance.Mandy’s secretary, Maya Lee, had been waiting for a while. She made a welcoming gesture to invite Harvey inside after his arrival.Harvey saw that the elegantly renovated hall had signs of destructi
Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates looked over simultaneously.Mandy lightly nodded. She knew Harvey York was coming.Lilian felt instantly sluggish before she screamed at Harvey.“You little bastard! How dare you come back here?! You…”“Don’t you want the Honey Pill?” replied Harvey calmly.Lilian was instantly stunned after hearing Harvey’s words.“Stop pretending, Harvey!“Mandy told me the Hunt family saved the old lady!“What’s the point of the Honey Pill now?!“It can’t even give me the money and the villa anymore!”“The money’s just a tiny problem. The villa can also be bought with money!“Let me tell you something! The old lady’s awake right now…“But she’ll fall unconscious after three days!“When that happens, the Honey Pill’s value would skyrocket!“Maybe then, it’d be 1.5 billion with ten whole villas for you to have.”Lilian showed an odd gaze after hearing Harvey’s words. She wanted to lash out but had no choice but to force a smile.“Harvey—no! My dear son-in-
“Huh?”Lilian Yates froze.“You’re joking, right? Are you angry?“I can’t take jokes like this, you know? I’m an old lady!”Harvey York chuckled in secret after seeing Lilian forcing her feelings back.“The old lady might not need the Honey Pill either.“It doesn’t matter to me either way.“That said…”Before Harvey was done speaking, Mandy Zimmer’s phone suddenly vibrated while she was having her coffee.She handed Harvey a cup of coffee while she was getting the call.“What?” she said with a horrible expression.“My pre-sale license got rejected again?“Didn’t we hand over all the documents according to procedure?“What? We don’t have enough money in the account?“Right, I’ll head there immediately.”“I need to go back to the office, Harvey,” she said while completely ignoring Lilian.Harvey glanced at Lilian, who seemed a little sluggish.“I’ll come with; maybe I can help with something.”Mandy glared fiercely at Lilian before dragging Harvey to the company car wit
"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
