Before anyone had a chance to speak, Boone instantly pointed at Xynthia with a smile.“You’ll be treating Young Master Caelum tonight, girl. You’ll have a lot of benefits as long as he’s happy.”Xynthia’s expression worsened; despite having seen a lot of things, she instinctively hid behind Harvey’s after being scared.Harvey put his utensils down, and glared at Boone.“Sorry, but we have nothing to do with Kylan. I don’t care what you’re going to do. We won’t get involved. But you better not piss me off, either.”“Oh? Saving the damsel in distress, eh?”Boone froze before showing a playful expression.‘Even Kylan’s already on the ground, but an ordinary-looking man is still planning to oppose me?! What a joke!’Xynthia was simply too beautiful; Caelum would love toying with such a pure goddess.Without him even saying a word, Boone knew exactly what to do.“We’ll see how you protect her now, you bastard!”Boone stepped forward while chuckling coldly, planning to slap Harvey
With Caelum’s command, an elderly man in a robe suddenly came forward. He let out a sigh before looking at Harvey.“I know that you’re impressive at fighting, young man. But it’s a shame that you’re going against the Hummingbar. How about this? Since you’re also a martial artist, as long as you break your arms and kneel, I’ll let you live.”“If you break your master’s legs and scram, I’ll let the Hummingbar go. How does that sound?” Harvey retorted.“You’re bold!”The servant’s face darkened; he charged forward without wasting any more time. At the same time, a knife custom-made for Hummingbar members appeared in his hand when he swung it down.A quick and deadly attack!Naturally, the servant had no intention of holding back; he was prepared to take out Harvey.“Look out, Harvey!” Xynthia exclaimed instinctively.“You’re weak.”The moment the blade was about to reach Harvey, he quickly guarded himself with a fork.Clang!The blade was completely stuck.The servant, who was
“Harvey’s still so handsome, after all!” Xynthia muttered to herself.“No wonder he’s got guts to go against Young Master Kylan. He’s good at fighting after all,” Cason muttered with an odd gaze.“It’s a shame that combat skill won’t do much in this day and age.“Other than being a good fighter or a bodyguard, there’s no chance for him to go big at all!”Even though Kylan suffered such a huge loss, Cason still believed that he could hold Harvey down with his status and identity.‘So what if he can fight? Can he even go against firearms? He’s not invincible!’Harvey ignored the crowd and instead looked curiously at Caelum, who only stood still without doing anything.“If you didn’t come for me and Xynthia in the first place, I wouldn’t have gotten myself involved in your stupid business.“Of course, the point still stands. Apologize, and I’ll let you off the hook.“After all, I’m not your target in the first place. As for Kylan, you can do whatever you want with him.”Caelum g
Caelum looked deep into Harvey’s eyes before he left.Soon after, the place became extremely awkward.Kylan stumbled off the ground.“You’re pretty good at fighting, Harvey! It’d be hard to find someone like you in the younger generation!”Kylan thought of something as he sized up Harvey.“And?” Harvey casually sipped his tea.“Let me put it this way!”Kylan looked as if he had learned from his mistakes.“I admire you!“As long as you stay as my bodyguard… I’ll pay you sixteen thousand dollars per month!“I don’t care if you’re together with Xynthia or not! I swear that I won’t do anything to her ever again!“I’ll even support her using my connections in the entertainment circle! Nobody would lay a single finger on her after this!“As for what happened tonight, I’ll even bury the hatchet right here!”Everyone froze; they didn’t think that Kylan would even say something like that.The beautiful women were showing odd gazes as well.Harvey was impressive indeed. His action
Inside the main hall.Many people in gray robes were gathered together. They looked as if they were waiting for something.As soon as Harvey showed up, the people who were pretending to sip tea instantly shivered and almost sprung off their seats.Harvey looked curiously at these people.He realized that the bustling hall was completely empty; he wasn’t sure if this was intentional or not, either.If it weren’t for the people in gray robes, he would’ve thought that he was in an empty city.The people in gray robes came over. The robes looked the exact same as the one Paislee wore in the Hunt family’s residence. It was clear that they were from the House of Priests.The people stood in front of Harvey. A tall and handsome man sized him up. “You’re Harvey?” he demanded fiercely.“What’s the point of asking me that when you came all the way here for me? What? Are you treating me to a midnight snack or something?”“A midnight snack?”The man showed disdain as he looked down on
Swoosh!The people in gray robes instantly pounced over, prepared to take on Harvey.Frantic footsteps were heard soon after. A woman’s cold voice echoed.“I was wondering who’s causing this much of a ruckus in a five-star hotel! You’re from the House of Priests!“What? Do you think you’re kings of the world just because you have Kurbus under your control?“I am Charlotte Padget! As long as I’m here, no one from the sacred martial arts training grounds is allowed to cross the line!”A dozen people in uniforms came forward.A woman in a white uniform with a ponytail stood in front with her sword in hand. She looked like she was in her twenties, and her expression was gentle, but her aura was nothing short of heroic.It was clear that she was from a sacred martial arts training ground as well. An aura like that wouldn’t be obtainable without generations of cultivation.“Charlotte Padget?”The man’s expression changed.“You’re in charge of enforcing the law at the martial arts
Arlan glared coldly at Charlotte, then smiled.“Why don’t we make this quick, Sir York?“Grovel as an apology right now, and I’ll just send a recording to Paislee!“You should thank Ms. Charlotte! If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t be able to get such an opportunity in the first place!”Naturally, Arlan was quite unhappy with Charlotte’s sudden appearance. Not only was he planning on crushing Harvey’s pride, he wanted to crush Charlotte’s as well.Charlotte’s expression darkened instantly.“You want me to grovel and be recorded?” Harvey asked calmly. “You think you have the right for me to even do that?”“What’s with the attitude, kid?”Arlan’s cold gaze was filled with murderous intent.“If you don’t know just how impressive the House of Priests is, just ask the nosy bastard herself!“If I actually want you dead… I wouldn’t even need to wait!”Charlotte could sense the intent in Arlan’s words; she hesitated for a moment before coming beside Harvey.“Mr. York, I don’t know
“I was in a good mood, and I was planning to have some rest in my room…” Harvey said.“But you just had to come at me.“You can leave.“But at least pay for my mental loss fee“Kneel, apologize, then pay me 1.5 million dollars. If you don’t, then don’t even think of leaving.”‘He’s crazy! He’s completely insane! How does he say something like that? He’s just filth whose destiny is to be crushed!’After their initial shock, the people from the House of Priests showed playful expressions.‘We’ve seen a lot of reckless people already… But not to this extent!’“Good! Good!”Arlan froze for a moment before breaking into an icy smile.“It’s my first time seeing someone this impressive after so long!“It’s not that I don’t respect you, Ms. Charlotte! He just wants to die is all!”Arlan chuckled.“Kill him!”The people in gray robes cracked their necks before stepping forward.Bam, bam, bam!Gunshots were heard; two instantly fell to the ground, paralyzed. They were filled with
