“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
Bam!Before Harvey even finished his words, Yousef suddenly slammed his knees to the ground.“The Hunt family did not forget what you said, Sir York!” he exclaimed while gritting his teeth, ignoring everyone else around him.“The master wanted to be the one to beg for your help…“But he simply couldn’t leave the old lady!“He said that as long as you’re willing to lend aid, the family will owe you a favor no matter if you succeed or not!“The family will all kneel to greet you as well…”-Half an hour later, Harvey arrived at the Hunt family’s manor.Before coming here, he made it clear that he didn’t want the family to kneel as a greeting. After all, the people had already humbled themselves enough.Besides, Harvey wasn’t confident enough to deal with the old lady’s current situation anyway.Yousef quickly took Harvey inside the manor; he was on a call while he explained the situation to Harvey.“Something happened when I went to fetch you, Sir York.“The old lady suddenl
Veer was the current person in charge of the Hunt family.And yet, he still kneeled in front of such a young man. The prideful members of the family didn’t know how they should react to the sight.The people here were all direct descendants of the family. A mere relative like Kylan was simply inferior compared to them.These direct descendants were elites respected by others.And yet, even someone like Veer kneeled. It was clear the sight had made a huge impact to their minds.“Please.”Harvey quickly lifted Veer.“All things aside, your kindness alone is enough for me to help. Besides, Ethan’s my brother as well!”Veer hesitated for a moment.“If you can save my mother, I will swear in my name… That Ethan will surely rise to power in the family!”“You’re too kind.”Harvey smiled calmly. “But don’t forget: he’s a God of War. If he’s willing to take charge… The family would be the one benefitting; not him.”Veer froze before showing a profound gaze.As Harvey said, if Eth
The old lady froze in place.Paislee slowly regained her calm. She felt a little proud, and looked around her.Marlee stumbled off the ground. “What happened to the old lady, Ms. Paislee?”Paislee’s face darkened.“I suspect that your old lady’s been possessed. Normally speaking, the Lycan Pill should be able to deal with any problem!“Other than being possessed, there isn’t any other explanation!“But don’t worry! The House of Priests specializes in exorcism.“Take a look! Approach in battle, march in formation!”Paislee made a different gesture as she slammed her palm on the old lady’s heart, looking as if she was instantly planning to crush the evil spirit.“Heh!”The old lady chuckled oddly, then swung her hand furiously.Paislee was slapped in the face. She was sent flying, and blood came right out of her mouth; she couldn’t even muster her strength to get back up as she landed.The people of the House of Priests looked at each other; they wouldn’t dare set foot in fro
Veer came to his senses soon after. He instantly went to his mother, and put his fingers on her wrist.“She’s not dead! My mother’s not dead!” he exclaimed in a trembling voice. “Sir York! If you can calm her down, you can save her too! Please!”Harvey threw his knife aside before squinting at the old lady.“Prepare a quiet room. Let me take a look there.”Paislee and the others snapped out of their confusion when people were about to bring the old lady to her bedroom.Suppressing the old lady with ease was enough to tell just how impressive Harvey was.“We can’t bring her back to her bedroom. She can’t stay here either,” he said, waving his hand. “Let’s switch places.”The people looked at each other, and the old lady was then lifted into the security room.Harvey quickly got someone to bring him a set of needles, and poked the old lady’s fingers with them.Under everyone’s gaze, black smoke with an extremely foul stench seeped out of her fingers. The old lady’s face finally
Veer quickly approached Harvey, and held his hand.“Harvey! From now on, the Hunt family is in your debt! If there’s something that you want, then there’s no need to hold back! Just know, the family will always repay the favor.”Harvey nodded.“You’re too kind. This is nothing.“That said…“Your mother’s saved, but the underlying danger of your family is still here. If we don’t deal with it immediately, there’ll be more trouble soon enough.”Veer froze as he stared at Harvey. “You’re saying…?”Harvey squinted at the building in front of him.Veer showed a curious gaze, then looked over in the direction of Harvey’s gaze.“Is there something wrong with that place, Harvey? I lived there before. I let my mother stay there instead when she came back.”“You lived there?”Harvey’s gaze turned severe. “Looks like your mother protected you from your doom this time. Someone came for you. If you believe me, you should empty out the building as soon as you can.”Veer froze.“Why’s t
"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
