Harvey casually walked a few circles around the hall when he saw a variety of exquisite pastries and fruits on long tables.An enchanting champagne tower was also shimmering under the lights.A dozen chefs with white hats ran around the open kitchen before Western food dishes were served in rapid succession.Other than that, all sorts of entertainment facilities were also seen there, including cards and pool tables.The waiters were tall and had beautiful features, enticing the urges of everyone around them.It was clear that the place was made purely for entertainment.A dozen women with jewelry that would cost a fortune to any ordinary people were taking pictures together.Handsome men in suits held their champagnes and wine while they chitchatted eloquently.Some princes and young masters even played cards and worked out with their female companions.It was safe to say the luxurious place felt quite serene. Anyone coming here would surely feel right at home.Of course, onl
In Cason Lee’s mind…A young master capable of fighting was just icing on the cake.But so what if a poor sob could fight?Not only would that be completely useless, but they would also get themselves into unnecessary trouble!After all, no matter how good at fighting someone could be, the country simply had machines that could do that even better!There would be no chance even to throw a single punch!He planned to find an excuse to get Harvey kicked out before dealing with him.Other than Kylan Hunt, many more people were interested in Xynthia Zimmer.That said, it would be hard to drag her around to accompany guests with Harvey’s support.“Why do I have to explain myself to you?Harvey casually took a sip of his champagne.“Is this your property? Or do you belong to the organization hosting the banquet?“If not, then what right do you have even to question me?“You must be quite the nosy bastard, aren’t you?”“You…”Cason’s eyes twitched when he was instantly stumped.
“You don’t look like you’re supposed to be here, young man,” said the man while standing before Harvey York.“I’m afraid I’ll have to see your invitation, or you’ll have to tell me who brought you here in the first place.”Harvey swirled his glass around.“I have to prove my right to come in a rundown place like this?“Sure, but go find someone else to prove it first.”“You need to understand your situation here,” exclaimed the captain coldly.“Ms. Journi already has the entire place booked.“Without her invitation, nobody else is allowed here.“Especially those who only came to get free food and drinks.“If I were you, I’d be smart enough to leave after having enough food in my stomach.”The captain was disdainful. He was not showing Harvey any respect, as if he knew his speculation was spot on.Harvey put his glass down before briefly wiping his fingers.“And what makes you think I’m only here for the free food?“Everyone here owns a business under the Country H Commerci
“Whether I belong in the circle…“Or whether the circle’s worthy enough to have me…“Is none of your business, right?”“You’re right about that.The captain let out another cold chuckle.“That said, I have obligations to throw you out since you’re an outlier.“Of course, I’ll properly compensate for your damages if you can prove your identity.“But then, can you even do that?”Harvey seemed curious.“What are you going to do?“Grovel before me?”“You want me to grovel?” asked the captain in a gloomy voice.“Let me warn you, kid…“You shouldn’t talk this big in a place like Wolsing.“You want me, Frank Zummo, to grovel?“Who do you think you are? The chairman?“Of course, if you’re actually the chairman…“I’ll even call you ‘Daddy’ after groveling before you!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Frank’s face.His actions were quick and deadly, completely catching Frank off guard.Everyone around quickly turned over after hearing the loud slap.“Your word
Zhuri Vaus’ eyes twitched when she briefly hesitated.“He’s right. He’s the next chairman of the organization.”“Huh?!”“What?!”“He’s the next chairman?!”“Did I hear things wrong?!”“Probably not. Zhuri’s the chairman’s personal secretary. She wouldn’t joke about things like this!”“So, you’re saying that the young man’s been playing dumb the entire time?!”Many people were filled with fear and disbelief.Even Cason Lee’s jaw had completely dropped then.Frank Zummo was filled with surprise before he thought of something.“Ms. Zhuri, this isn’t the person who was accidentally chosen as the new chairman now, is it?“The same person without any background who got chosen because the other council members didn’t want to vote for the opposition?Zhuri nodded.“Pfft!Frank smiled gloomily before tapping on Harvey York’s shoulder, forgetting the fact that he was already slapped in the face.“So, you’re the legendary Sir York!“I apologize for everything I said!“You’re als
When Zhuri Vaus desperately tried to steer Harvey York in the right direction, a group of young people showed up at the front door.A beautiful woman in a short, black Givenchy dress had her eyes lit up before wrapping herself around Zhuri’s arm.“Zhuri! You’re also here?“I thought you wouldn’t come! You didn’t answer when Young Master Kartier called you a few times!“He’s no ordinary young master, Zhuri!“His father’s one of the oldest council members in the Country H Commercial Group!“You won’t be embarrassed with him by your side!“Wolsing’s circle isn’t as small as you think.“That said, only a few people actually suit you.“Young Master Kartier’s also not a bad pick…”The woman with the sincere expression was probably Zhuri’s good friend.Zhuri quickly skimmed past the subject before looking back at Harvey again. She wanted to tell Harvey to do the right thing.At the same time, she started to regret bringing Harvey here since Kartier was arriving soon.The woman re
“Does she now?Harvey York smiled.“That may be true…“But, she’s clearly looking down on me.“Though, I can’t be bothered.“She’s just an ant to me anyway.”Harvey shook his head before casually raising his teacup.Hadlee Kennedy looked horrible.She came to give Harvey a lesson…And yet she was the one being looked down upon.“You!“Ignorant bastard!Hadlee scoffed.“Just you wait! When Young Master Kartier’s here, I’ll tell him everything that happened! We’ll see how you end up after that!”Zhuri Vaus’ expression worsened.“You should apologize, Harvey.“You’d be in trouble if she spills everything to Young Master Kartier.”“So what?“Why would I be scared of a council’s son?”Zhuri stomped her feet in anger.“Do you think you’re actually the chairman?!“Why wouldn’t you be scared?!“At this point, even the council’s subordinate can easily crush you!”Hadlee and the others were just about to question Harvey after hearing Zhuri’s remarks.But at this very mome
Harvey York’s eyes lit up before smiling faintly.“Hello, Ms. Journi.“I’m Harvey.“I’m just a country bumpkin.“I came with Ms. Zhuri for some free food.“Hope you don’t mind.”Journi Stanton froze. She was in disbelief.She was a lot more interested in Harvey after that.After all, whether Harvey was telling the truth or not, saying something like this before the public was enough to show a lot of problems.At the very least, ordinary people could not replicate Harvey’s temperament.Zhuri Vaus had already expected nothing from Harvey. She felt instantly awkward after hearing Harvey’s words.“How interesting,” said Hadlee Kennedy after letting out a scoff.“He admits that he’s here for free food?“People like him get increasingly shameless after each passing day, huh?”Journi frowned.“Now that he’s already here, he’s a guest—a friend.“Please don’t say that about him.“Since you brought him here, Zhuri, you should take good care of him.”Journi stared deeply into Ha
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
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
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
