Gaspar Lee boasted he could do whatever he wanted in the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.He boasted that he had garnered some respect in the entire country. He never knew there would be a time when he would be taken advantage of like this.But the most important part about all of this was not the loss he suffered but the fact that he himself had suffered such humiliation.He was at such an advanced age and called himself the seneschal. He also maintained communication with all the major training grounds.How was he supposed to interact with them after suffering such humiliation?However, despite his regrets and resentment, Gaspar dared not say anything anymore.That was because he finally realized it.The others might show him some respect, but Harvey York never cared about giving him any respect at all."It's a good thing that you know your place," said Harvey when he saw how Gaspar suppressed his dissatisfaction. Then, Harvey covered Gaspar's face with the tissue paper he ha
A loud gunshot could be heard.Everyone else saw Harvey gently raise his right hand with his middle and index-finger coming together to catch something. The specially made bullet then fell in Harvey York's hand.If it were not because there was smoke coming from the spot between Harvey's fingers, many of them would think this was fake."How's that even possible…" Caelum Hughes was stunned.He knew how powerful the special firearms from Country A were.It was said that it had been used to kill a True Warrior. It was one of the most powerful weapons they had against martial arts elites.However, Harvey could easily block the attack from this specialized weapon.How…In that instant, Caelum wanted to pinch himself to see if he was really dreaming."Back to you."Harvey said calmly and flicked his finger.There was a loud snap. Caelum, self-styled one of the Four Kings of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, could not even dodge it.He let out a cry and flew out instantly. When he
When Caelum Hughes heard what Harvey York had to say, his heart skipped a beat.He originally had complete confidence in how much power Hummingbar had. But looking at Harvey's attitude and how the others looked at them like watching a show, he suddenly realized something.Had someone used him and Hummingbar as some kind of a tool?And it was not a tool to take Harvey down, but just a tool to test Harvey.And the truth was that not only did Hummingbar lose, but they also lost completely during this round of testing.From this day forward, Hummingbar would not even hold the same level of authority within the Alliance as before.The moment that thought crossed his mind, he could feel a chill run down his spine.Caelum no longer held the same arrogance the moment he realized that.Harvey smiled. "Looks like you finally understand. I guess you do have the capacity to learn. Now, I'll give you one more chance. Apologize to me and crawl back to whatever hole you come from.""You…" Ca
Ten minutes later, the inner hall of the Songstress's Stage was left empty.The arrogant crowd sitting inside moments before left after politely saying their goodbyes to Harvey York.Harvey did not bother to take them seriously and simply waved them goodbye with a smile. He even gave them all an elegantly made name card.After they left, Charlotte Padget looked at Harvey strangely as she stood next to him. She wanted to say something, but she could not."Are you trying to say I'm being a little too easygoing? I've just completely humiliated Caelum and the others, but I'm already giving out name cards. You're not used to something like this, are you?" said Harvey after he glanced at Charlotte."A little. Normally speaking, they will side with Caelum," Charlotte replied."You're wrong. They all represent each individual training ground. They have never sided with Caelum. They have sided with the side that has the benefits," said Harvey calmly."If Caelum was the one that had defea
"Huh?" Charlotte Padget's face flushed when she heard what Harvey York said. "Mr. Representative, I…"Harvey did not take note of the changes on Charlotte's face and simply continued with the conversation as he enjoyed the landscape painting hanging on the wall. "While I'm a representative of the Alliance, I'm unfamiliar with its inner workings."But you, on the other hand, are very familiar with it. I admire the way you work and your personality. That's why I want you to work for me. In other words, I want you to help me understand the situation within the Alliance. That's the reason I'm telling you all this."Does that make sense?"After listening to him, Charlotte realized what Harvey meant but felt a little disappointed for some reason.However, she would not dwell on her awkwardness, especially as a warrior. "Since you appreciate my work, I'm more than happy to work for you. But on one condition, Mr. Representative."Harvey spoke with a smile. "Speak.""Once you are fully i
Harvey York did not hang up as he caught a cab. Then, he continued talking to Xynthia Zimmer on the phone, "Tell me what you know right now so I have an idea of what's going on later."Xynthia quickly nodded. "Of course. After you helped my sister with the advanced sales permit, she performed a series of marketing activities and sold more properties, which helped with the company's capital flow."To help improve the sales number even more, she put 50 fully renovated and furnished homes on sale yesterday, saying that the buyers could move in anytime. No one expected any accident to happen!"Some residents who bought the homes yesterday moved into their new homes. But this morning, all of them had an allergic reaction. Not only had their skin turned red, but the skin for some of them had even started to rot."Now all of them are at the ninth branch's company asking for the company to give them an explanation. A few of the older women who had their faces scarred were the most brutal.
"There she is! It's Mandy!""That bastard! How dare you appear before us, you greedy little whore!""Compensation! We want compensation!"At this moment, the exclusive elevator used by the CEO of the ninth branch's company opened. Mandy Zimmer came out under the protection of eight bodyguards. The moment she appeared, the crowd was immediately riled up.One of the middle-aged women dressed like a prim and proper lady threw the Chanel purse in her hand at Mandy and cursed at her as she pointed her finger at Mandy. "I shouldn't have trusted you, Mandy!"You bought all the bedding from me, and I even gave you a discount. But you sold me a property that has excessive formaldehyde! I've only stayed there for one night, and I'm feeling painful all over after it triggered an allergic response… And you even destroyed my face!"Your company's greed is impossible! You don't care about anything so that you can earn more money! What you did is going to get you into prison! "I don't care wh
At this time, Mandy Zimmer removed her mask and walked over to Harvey York saying, "Everyone, please calm down. Violence can't solve any problem!""The staff from the Environment Agency has already closed off the neighborhood just now, and we have also invited three of the country's best laboratories to join the investigation. Give me three days, and they will be able to reach a conclusion!""If everything you've gone through is truly caused by the property that our company renovated and furnished, then I promise to do my best to compensate you."Not only will I refund you, I'll pay you triple the amount. And we also promise you to pay for all your medical expenses, and I will personally give myself up to the police so that I can be brought to court."But before there are any results, I hope all of you can control yourselves. Because that's the only way I can give you an answer you'll be satisfied with. Otherwise, if something happens to me or the company, who will you ask for comp
"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
