The moment Harvey followed him into the fire exit, there was an explosion coming from on top of him. A gray mist immediately descended upon him.It was obvious that a trap had already been laid here. This was one of the escape routes the assassin had planned.However, Harvey slammed the fire alarm next to him with a calm expression.The sprinklers above him instantly activated, and the water from the sprinklers dispersed the gray mist.The assassin made a cold smile, and hurled a lighter that was lit from his right hand.Harvey narrowed his eyes and realized that the water coming from inside the sprinklers had already been changed with gasoline.There was going to be another fire if the lighter hit the floor.Harvey had to stop and extend his right hand forward, spreading his fingers apart before quickly curling them. A powerful force pulled the lighter right into his hand, and its flame extinguished.At that moment, the assassin chose not to retreat but to go into the offensiv
The assassin shuddered as the sound of him getting slapped echoed, and his figure slammed into the garbage bin at the corner of the alley.In that instant, a disgusting scent permeated the air.The assassin could only feel his face swollen. He wanted to get up, but he could feel a powerful force within himself attacking his body from the inside. He couldn't even straighten up himself."I've already sealed all your powers within yourself," Harvey said as he pulled out a tissue paper to wipe his fingers."You're not my match, unfortunately. Just give up."You can probably tell the reason I didn't kill you is to see just how much planning you've made, and to see where you're from."I also want to see if anyone cares if something like this happens in Wolsing. Now that I've achieved my objectives, I have no more use for you."Harvey sighed as he smiled mischievously."You either surrender and tell me everything… Or you can kill yourself."Now, there are two paths before you. What w
"I'll repeat myself. You've already silenced the culprit, and you're worried I will leak out what happened today?"Harvey reiterated with a cold expression, as if he did not feel the oppressive aura from the young man at all."You're from Dragon Cell, which means all of you are very experienced in battle."It was clear the person had already surrendered, and all of you could tell."You can take someone away alive, but you shot and killed him."It's tough for me to believe you…"If you're saying you're not silencing him."The young man guffawed when he heard what Harvey York had to say. "Oh? Are you going to teach us how to do our job now?"Harvey, we do have some information on you."While they might call you Prince York of South Light or the CEO of Sky Corporation…"But you better remember that all your status means nothing to Dragon Cell."If you're smart, you should distance yourself from Ms. Xavier."I'm suggesting this for your own good."Someone like you can't imagin
Yvonne Xavier blinked her beautiful eyes after listening to what Harvey York said, but she stayed silent.Harvey picked up a cup of coffee before him and took a sip. He was going to say something when his phone started to vibrate.An unfamiliar number appeared on his screen. However, the ending digits were quite rhythmic.Harvey briefly hesitated before picking up the call. Immediately, a respectful voice came from the other side. "Good morning, Mr. York."Harvey could not tell who the voice belonged to but still asked, "Who is this?""You must be very busy to forget about me, Mr. Representative."It's me, Charlotte Padget.The woman on the other side said."I'm so sorry for not recognizing who you were earlier."I apologize for my ignorance."Harvey smiled after he heard it. "My status as a representative is nothing but a name in the eyes of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Ground."There's nothing to apologize about."Charlotte wanted to say something, but Harvey had alr
After Charlotte Padget's expression changed a few times, she took a deep breath and massaged her face. Only then did she invite Harvey York into the van.When Harvey saw the Buick van in front of them, he said nothing and simply took a seat in the rear seat with a calm expression. Then, he closed his eyes and rested.Charlotte wanted to say something during the journey, but she always stopped herself before she could. In the end, she never said anything.Shortly, the van stopped at a small park on the fourth ring of Wolsing.The name of this place was called The Songstress's Stage. It was a place where theatrical troupes used to perform.However, as time passed, fewer people came to enjoy the performance. Country H Martial Arts Alliance then took over the place as a base in Wolsing.While the location was ancient, it still looked classy.A place's charm was not something that could be easily made up.When Harvey exited the car, he glanced at The Songstress's Stage. He could alr
Charlotte Padget hesitated and whispered, "Mr. York, he is a student from one of the local martial arts families in Wolsing. He's also a student of Oeus Temple."He's called one of the ten most powerful youth prodigies in the Country H Martial Arts Alliance."I think you shouldn't provoke him."Let's just ignore everything he said."Tanner Hughes gave a cold laugh after he heard what Charlotte said as he looked at Harvey derisively. At the same time, he even taunted Harvey, as if he would kill Harvey immediately if Harvey dared to make any move."Ten prodigies?Harvey was somewhat taken aback."He called himself one of the ten prodigies at this level?"I think the level of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance youths is a little too low."Harvey ignored Tanner after saying that and asked Charlotte to continue leading the way."What did you just say, kid?"I don't think I heard it right."Why don't you say it in front of me one more time?"Harvey could not be bothered with Ta
Tanner Hughes' cigar flew in the air after Harvey slapped Tanner a couple of times as he screamed.There were a few red handprints on his face as he seemed to be in terrible pain."Who do you think you are?"One of the ten youthful prodigies?"With your level, it's easier to believe you if you claim you're one of the ten garbage."The Hughes? Oeus Temple?"Do you think they mean anything to me?"And you… You're nothing to me!"Harvey then gave Tanner one last slap across the face, and he fell right on the ground. Then, he gave him another kick and sent him flying.Tanner was caught completely unprepared, and he flew across the air and slammed into a table about ten meters away as he let out a grunt. In an instant, the hall of the Songstress's Stage had become filthy.Harvey's sudden move caused the entire place to fall into dead silence.Even Charlotte, who was the one who brought Harvey here, could only watch in disbelief, speechless.The Hughes were not that influential,
"He's amazing! He really is one step away from becoming a true warrior!""Tanner has been working hard these days, and I didn't expect he would have reached this stage!""For him to reach this stage when he's still so young, he might become one of the best warriors in our era by the time he reaches a hundred years old!""I'm afraid Harvey won't understand just what level of power he's facing.""A true warrior… That's a level of power we can only attain in stories!""It's a power level that's invincible in this world. I didn't expect Tanner to be so terrifying."Plenty of youths who were present could not help but make a comment or two.The men were all full of jealousy.Some of the beautiful women looked at Tanner Hughes with adoration.It was normal for them to be attracted to those who were more powerful than them. The strength that Tanner showed had made them intoxicated.Even the way Charlotte Padget looked at Tanner was filled with some admiration."Mr. Representative,
"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
