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
After dealing with the Hunt family’s incident, Harvey went back to the five-star hotel.Aside from asking Yvonne to send him information about the Country H Commercial Group, he also asked for detailed documents about the coming martial arts tournament as well.Normally speaking, Harvey would be notified first about such a massive event, but he didn’t know about it until recently. It didn’t seem like anyone planned to contact him in the first place.He wanted to see what the Martial Arts Alliance was doing.After reading all the documents, Harvey smiled faintly. The tournament wasn’t as simple as he thought.Other than choosing the champion of the younger generation’s martial artists, there was a more important reason.They wanted to get a different representative!To the Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey was simply an outsider.Because of his immense reputation before, the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Alliance and the sacred martial arts training grounds had no choice but to a
Four o’clock in the afternoon.A Porsche Panamera was parked in front of the five-star hotel. That said, a car of that caliber wasn’t all that impressive either compared to the hotel.The window rolled down. A young woman in her twenties was seen in the car with casual clothes and a pair of sunglasses.A lot of her face was covered by the big sunglasses, but her figure and temperament were quite extraordinary. Along with the nice car, she had attracted quite a lot of attention around her.The woman casually raised a banner with Harvey’s name on it.Harvey didn’t like such a high-profile way of doing things, but he only let out a single sigh to voice his discontent.“Hello.”The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing the shock on her beautiful face. She sized up Harvey for a moment, then glanced at the Rolex on his wrist.“You’re Harvey? The youngest member of the council?”“That’s me.” Harvey nodded. “You’re my personal secretary—Zhuri Vaus?”Harvey figured out the secretar
The car was dead silent the entire trip. The Porche came to a quiet path approximately an hour after driving down the viaduct.A manor thousands of acres big was found at the end of the path.Every single luxury car could be seen with gorgeous-looking people.This was the city suburbs, but every single corner was perfectly decorated with luxury and wealth in mind.Harvey York squinted momentarily before figuring something out. Other than being a simple restaurant and a banquet venue…This was also a resort that was established for people from the upper social circle.After all, ordinary people would not require a racecourse and golf courts.It was safe to say that only the top-rated people in Wolsing could spend their money here.After seeing Harvey squinting at the sight before him, Zhuri Vaus thought Harvey was just a country bumpkin who was severely culture shocked.She scoffed before speaking in a very prideful tone.“This is the Royal Manor, an extremely high-class estab
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
