In simpler terms, the so-called climax of the auction had become nothing but a joke.If Hector allowed the auction to continue, whoever that had bid for the Sutra of Nourishment would instantly find out that he was the world's greatest fool once he compared the content in the scroll and what Harvey had recited.If that happened, the reputation of the Wolsing Auction House would truly be ruined!Not only that, no matter how powerful the Sutra of Nourishment was, once those people knew the content, it would lose its original value.What was the point of having an ancient scroll other than treating it as an antique?Harvey knew after what he did, it would make Hector fall into a state of anxiety. He would also damage Wolsing Auction house's reputation greatly.That was why he chose to leave immediately.Half an hour later, Kartier and the others immediately sent Harvey back to the five-star hotel that he was staying in.After sending him back, Kartier and the others all disappeare
"What if I do?" Harvey said to Mandy, intentionally making a disdainful expression."You're so petty for a man," Mandy said. She glanced at him, as if she looked down on him. She gave him a look, but there seemed to be a slight passion in her eyes as well as a hint of helplessness.However, he had hidden her powerlessness deeply and no one had noticed it.She walked over and sat down opposite of him. Only after she took a sip of the tea did Mandy tilted her head. "One more thing. I've already reminded you with a call not to act too rashly. Why did you choose to cross Hector in the end?"Do you know just how much influence the Thompsons has in Wolsing?"Harvey said, "I never wanted to start anything with him. He's the one that wants to start a fight with me from the very beginning."I'm buying a seal and he stopped me. Then, he told me that he's the rules and the law."What? Can't I protect my own right as a consumer?"Mandy sighed. "No matter what has happened, the Star Fin
When Mandy heard what Harvey said, she couldn't help but gasp.If Harvey did that, not only was he looking for a fight with Hector, he was going to utterly humiliate the Thompson family.When the thought crossed Mandy's mind, she quickly held Harvey's hand and whispered, "Harvey, please listen to me."You can't do this! Please don’t be so rash!"You can't act as rashly!"The Thompson of Wolsing… Or it's better if I put it this way, the top families in Wolsing who are part of the top ten families all act as one."While they look like they are rivals of each other during normal days, but as soon as they encounter an outside enemy, they will all come together and deal with it as one."You have crossed Hector, which means you have crossed the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, including the one who leads the four top families, the Wright family."Few in this country… No, in this world, can face their combined might if it comes to that!"At the very least, now is not the time to fight
"What should we do now, Harvey?"Mandy was just right next to Harvey, so she heard what had just happened."Should I arrange a private jet for you? Otherwise, you won't be able to leave if we wait until tomorrow.""Leave? Why should I?" Harvey said with a shrug."While I am interested in the Seal of the Monarch, I'm not interested in it to the point of robbing someone else for it."If I leave now, it means I'm complicit in the crime."I'm thankful for everything you're willing to do for me, Mandy, but I suggest you should leave now. Because if I'm right, this place is going to become very chaotic very soon."-Next morning, there were few people in the five-star hotel. A lot of guests who were staying in the hotel had been pre-informed about something, and knew what would happen next.Aside from a few waiters preparing the buffet breakfast, even the tough security guards weren't allowed."Harvey York, get your arse out here!"The waiter who Harvey had asked to prepare his pa
At this time, a Porsche screeched to a halt not far away.Zhuri, who was looking somewhat nervous, came out of the car after that.When she appeared, Antonio and the others from Country J didn't stop her. It was obvious that they knew Zhuri was together with Harvey.Zhuri immediately walked to Harvey's side, and in a tone with mixed emotions, whispered, "You're so lucky, Harvey. After Princess Journi heard about this, she asked me to come get you out of this. Don't say anything else unnecessary later. Leave this to me."After telling Harvey that, Zhuri took a deep breath walked to Antonio's side. In a shaky voice, she said, "Hello, Mr. Lee. I'm Zhuri Vaus from Country H Commercial Group."Ms. Journi Stanton has asked me to come here. I believe she has already given you a call."When he heard the name "Journi Stanton", Antonio pulled out a long and thin cigarette and lit it up. After taking a huff and puff, he said coldly, "That's correct. Ms. Stanton did give me a call."She sai
Harvey looked at Zhuri, thrown to the ground by a slap.Then, he simply observed how arrogant these people were.Harvey made a silent smile. He didn't give May a call, nor did he contact anyone else. Instead, he simply narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Since you've already determined I stole what's yours…"And you believe that all the evidence Zhuri is showing you to be meaningless…"Then I suggest we leave this to the Wolsing Police Station. How does that sound?"If the police station concludes that I did steal your things, not only will I give it back to you, you can have my hands as well."However, if the final conclusion is someone trying to frame me or there's no evidence…"I will have your hands instead. How does that sound, Antonio?"I can find the most famous lawyer in Wolsing as a witness. If that's not enough for you, I can also find someone from both the legal realm or criminal underworld, Country H's Martial Arts Alliance, seniors from Country H Commercial Group,
Harvey nodded and pointed at himself, saying, "That's right. Me."And then, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't called for a long time. In a faint voice, he said, "I heard there's someone from your company called Antonio Lee. He's your scion or something."Tell them—I'm going to waste him."If I can't, I'll waste the Star Financial Group instead."Harvey didn't care what the other side had to say, and simply hung up the call.When he was in Buckwood, he had already dealt with Star Financial Group once.And thanks to Yvonne making her strategic moves all this while, most of the shares of Star Financial Group in the Far East now belonged to Harvey.He had also possessed a lot of their shares in the other areas through Sky Corporation.In other words, while Country A still held considerable influence over Star Financial Group, if Harvey wanted to, he could easily destroy this so-called number-one corporation from Country J."You'll waste the Star Financial Gro
"You're expecting me to believe you if I just give up and let you capture me, that this will be all over?" Harvey said. Every single sentence he said was true.Antonio could only look at Harvey, stunned. Even if Harvey surrendered, he wouldn't let Harvey go so easily.From that angle, it didn't matter much whether Harvey was going to be stubborn or surrender."And you equate me crossing you and your country as offending the whole world?" Harvey went on. "Do you think there's a point in your country's existence if it isn't because the people from Country A need you to make money for them?"Just how arrogant can you be?"Harvey sighed when he realized how they didn't know their place on the world stage.Just how much had they been hypnotizing themselves to the point they believed that they were the greatest nation in this world?How interesting.Then, there was a shriek. Antonio shook in pain as boiling hot coffee was poured on his face.However, he didn't simply surrender.
"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
