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
“The House of Priests will give you an explanation for the Lycan Pill, Mr. Yousef…”Arlan gritted his teeth for a moment, then sank into a deep bow.“We’ll put aside the family’s business for now.“However, you’ll have to deal with Sir York’s problem first. Kneel, apologize, then pay 1.5 million to Sir York!”The crowd’s eyes twitched.It was clear that to pamper Harvey and to make up for what happened… Yousef was dead set on standing up for Harvey.Charlotte showed an odd expression.The Hunt family wasn’t a sacred martial arts training ground, but the leader of the five hidden families. They had nothing to fear in a place like Wolsing.However, going against the House of Priests for the sake of Harvey was simply absurd.Arlan’s expression darkened.“Mr. Yousef, the House of Priests…”Slap!“Did I not make myself clear?” Yousef yelled. Arlan stumbled back, showing disbelief. “Mr. Yousef, we’ll give you an explanation for this. We…”Slap!Yousef slapped Arlan again. “I
“You’re crossing the line, Harvey!”Arlan stumbled off the ground with a vengeful expression.“You think you can hold me down just because you have the Hunt family’s support? I’ll just drag you down with me if I want to!”Bam!Harvey instantly kicked Arlan down. “Do it, then!”Yousef glowered at Arlan. “Try it!”‘That bastard! He’s using someone else’s strength! He’s just scaring me, is all!’Arlan felt utterly resentful.He really wanted to take out Harvey right there and then—but he knew that he’d die as well if he tried.He came here to join the martial arts tournament! He came to Wolsing to make a name for himself!He only caused trouble to Harvey to stand up for his junior and earn his position as the young master, then marry his senior before reaching the pinnacle of his life.He wouldn’t want to die here!Besides, Arlan wasn’t just an ordinary person either; he could tell that the fierce men in suits were the same. Not only were they expert martial artists, they were
Harvey squinted, glaring coldly at Arlan.He wouldn’t care if Arlan were to know his limits.But if that wasn’t the case…After seeing Arlan and the others stumble out of the hall, Charlotte looked strangely at Harvey.“Again…“If you get into trouble, you can call me as long as people participating in the martial arts tournament are involved.“I suggest you leave Wolsing as well. After all… Arlan’s quite the infamous madman in the House of Priests.”Harvey smiled as he looked at Charlotte.“Thank you for that, Ms. Charlotte. If you need me, you can call me as well!”Harvey handed her his name card.Charlotte froze; she believed that Harvey was only doing this because of his pride as a man. She couldn’t bear to refuse, and only left after taking the name card.Only Harvey and Yousef were left.Yousef came over with a fawning look.“Arlan is indeed insane, Sir York. I heard he’s gone too far because of his pursuit towards Paislee.“It’d be troubling to be remembered by suc
"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
