Without a second thought, Kartier Failes’ eyes burned brightly.He held his rage back as he raised his glass while giving looks to the people around him.“This is the first time Ms. Journi’s ever had a boyfriend!“This means that Harvey’s our prince!“Come! Let’s have a toast for the prince!“We’re not leaving this place till we get drunk!”The others did not understand why Kartier had such a huge change in attitude, but they all followed suit and had a toast with Harvey anyway.Harvey showed a calm gaze without saying a word. Journi went to Harvey’s side while smiling faintly.“Looks like it won’t be easy being my boyfriend…” she said while leaning beside Harvey’s ear.“I’m sure they’ll get you drunk enough so they can make a fool out of you…”Harvey looked at the woman beside him, who was showing an odd smile.“My dear…“Aren’t you scared of something happening between us if I use that as an excuse?”“You…“You’re shameless!”Journi’s face turned bright red.“Quick! D
Harvey York spoke with a sheepish expression, "It's you, Journi."Isn't this wrong, though?"While we're a couple, we've only known each other for a day, but you're already spending the night with me."Will you be responsible for me?"I'm a decent man, after all!"The woman on the bed cursed Harvey countless times in her mind, looking at how Harvey presented himself.However, she still forced a faint smile and said, "Stop being such a smartass."Go and wash up."I'll wait for you."Harvey made a grin and stumbled into the bathroom. His head swayed as if he really had gotten drunk.The woman on the bed immediately jumped up. She did not give Harvey any chance to react and quickly undressed him proficiently.She even handed the showerhead to Harvey, signaling him to take a shower.Harvey had already fallen on the tiles, looking like a drunkard before he was even halfway drunk.When the woman wearing the nightgown saw what had happened, she snickered. Suddenly, she turned on
When Cason Lee's words reached everyone present, they all realized what he was talking about with strange expressions on their faces."Don't tell me… It's the head of our group…""Darn it. Does he really think he can do anything he wants because he just received the title of chairman?""Quick… Bring him out here!""He's really tarnishing the entire Commercial Group's reputation."The guests staying on the same floor were all attracted by the uproar.Some of the men and women who were originally going to share some intimate time in their drunkenness all peeped from the door gap.Journi Stanton also came out of her room after hearing the commotion. After learning everything that had happened, her expression turned stern, and she slowly said, "I believe we shouldn't make any claims before there's any evidence."While Journi had never acknowledged Harvey as her so-called boyfriend, she didn't want them to condemn Harvey for such a crime out of their own imagination."Princess Jour
When Kartier Failes saw Frank Zummo's arrival, he sternly spoke to the security captain, "You came here just in time, Captain Frank."Something terrible happened here tonight."Someone wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy. You must see justice is done for her sake.""What?" The shocked expression on Frank's face was obviously faked.Then, his expression turned grim as he stared at the door and said, "Come out here right now. Otherwise, if my men enter, I cannot guarantee your safety."Cason Lee approached Frank and whispered, "Captain Frank, Harvey's the one who wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy.""It's him?" Frank instantly revealed a cold smile when he heard the name.He cracked his neck and his knuckles as he approached the entrance. "Darn bastard. I could tell you weren't a good person the first second I saw you."I thought you were just a freeloader or maybe a thief."I didn't expect you to be so bold."Get out of there right now. Break your own hands and apologiz
Harvey York's expression was indifferent. "Apologize?"Why don't you ask your best friend who should be apologizing?"If she can apologize to me properly, I can let bygones be bygones."Otherwise, it will be up to her own fate on how this will end.""You…" When Zhuri Vaus heard what Harvey said, she was so angry that she started to stomp the floor as if her kindness had been completely wasted on someone undeserving."Zhuri, I know you're the chairman's assistant, and you still want to speak on behalf of this sham."But he's a repeat offender no matter how I look at it."Why are you still being so courteous with him?"When Kartier Failes said that, he glared at Harvey with a glint in his eyes."You bastard… You're a lost cause and you're going to be in jail for the rest of your life.""I'll tell Captain Frank to break your hands and your legs first before locking you up at the police station."After hearing Kartier's words, the sneers coming from around them were even more ma
Frank Zummo frowned and said coldly to Harvey York, "What do you want?"Harvey clapped his hands and said in a casual tone. "Aren't you going to call the cops?"Then, call the cops right now."I'll give the evidence to the cops, and my guess is that quite a number of people will have to spend some time there."Don't worry. The evidence I've prepared is especially concrete. I can guarantee that if this reaches the court, the judge won't even be in the mood to discuss the case."Frank was starting to become hesitant when he heard what Harvey had said.It would be bad for a company the size of Country H Commercial Group to get into such a scandal and was made into a huge deal.If the media caught wind of this and reported it, it would greatly affect the reputation of Country H Commercial Group.When Frank thought of that, all he could do was heave a deep sigh and said, "If you can prove that you've been framed, not only will I apologize to you, I will ensure the person behind thi
Harvey York merely shrugged before saying unbothered, "I never expected your scheme to be so shoddy."If you managed to come up with any brighter ideas, you wouldn't have ended up being humiliated right now."Mr. Failes, you must be the person behind this based on how you conducted yourself, correct?"Are you ready to receive your punishment?"Or should I take you to the police station myself?"Don't worry, I won't accept any compromise even if we're at the police station."I suppose I'm doing society a favor by locking up someone like you for a few years."Harvey sighed without hiding the disdain on his face.It was obvious that Kartier Failes' scheme was not up to his standards."You bastard… Do you want to hit me?"I'll beat you up and take your phone. Let's see how you're going to convict me, then!"Kartier's expression changed as he rushed toward Harvey with a bellow.It was clear once his scheme had failed, he was going to use violence instead.However, Harvey was no
Frank Zummo's expression was extremely dark.He would not even hesitate if he needed to injure Harvey York. All he needed to do was to swing the blade three times.But the problem was that Kartier Failes was his target now.The Failes household was a top-class family and they were extremely powerful. Kartier's father was also one of the more powerful ones among the directors.Just with Kartier being the lackey of Emery Wright, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, was enough to make him stop in his tracks.Frank gritted his teeth as the thought crossed his mind and said, "The law doesn't permit us from punishing a criminal ourselves!"I believe we should let the cops handle this."Once the cops have handled this, we'll see…Harvey gave Frank a look and said, "If I didn't have such irrefutable proof, not only would you have harmed me, but you're already finding a hole to bury me in, right?""Don't be ridiculous."Law exists in our country, you know?"I wouldn't have done
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
