"Doctor, you're so skilled! You must be able to find a way to cure us of our disease, right?" asked a middle-aged man at this time, losing his composure. "We were forced to do all of this! Someone told us if we do this, not only can we get free property, but we'll be able to earn enough wealth for the rest of our lives! He even told us that there won't be any complications from using the powder!"We've been lied to as well! We're also innocent! Please, save us!"The doctor merely sighed and said nothing.Meanwhile, Harvey took a step forward and said, "Since I can tell what has afflicted you from your symptoms, I know the method to cure you. Tell me who are the people behind this, and I'll tell you how to cure it."All the victims exchanged a glance and said together, "The woman who sold the bedding!""That's right! That old woman was the one who organized all this!""We all listened to her.""I understand now." Harvey nodded. "There's only one way to cure this. Full blood tra
At this time, they could hear the sounds of footsteps coming from the other side of the corridor.A woman was leading a few people as she walked in a rush. The woman leading them was none other than Lilian. Simon and Xynthia were following right behind her.Harvey's heart instinctively skipped a beat when the whole family appeared.He wasn't afraid of the family, but he instinctively believed that things were going to become much more complicated.Lilian ignored Harvey, and immediately walked to Mandy and asked loudly, "What's going on, Mandy? I heard someone wants to blackmail my company for 7.5 billion dollars. By the gods, Mandy!"Don't they know the money belongs to me? Once they have my money, how am I supposed to live? Mandy, I'm telling you now that no matter what happens, you can't give them any money!"Not even a single cent! They can have my life instead!"Lilian was extremely determined when she said that. As if it didn't matter who came, her mind was already made up
Pavel's expression became even colder. He ignored Lilian, and simply turned to Mandy and said, "Seems like you're playing the bad cop when the good cop isn't working, huh? If we government servants don't give any leeway to you wealthy people, we deserve to die, right?""No, Captain Pavel! It's all a misunderstanding!" Mandy's heart skipped a beat. She knew there was no benefit to offending Pavel at this time.Most importantly, he did his job as the law required of him. Meanwhile, Lilian pointed her finger at him and even wanted to lodge a complaint against him. Wasn't she acting too recklessly?The moment Mandy thought of that, she quickly apologized. "My mom is someone who can't keep her mouth shut, and can be quite ignorant. Please don't hold it against her.""That's not what I meant," Pavel scoffed. He said nothing else and was going to leave as he shook his head. It was obvious he was going to ignore Lilian and the rest of the family.When Lilian saw what Pavel did, she wanted
Mandy's headache was getting worse. "Mom, Harvey's not someone like that.""If he wasn't someone like this, then what kind of person was he?" Lilian looked at Mandy, trying to force an answer out of her."I didn't know how he managed to solve the problem for you today, but can it be a coincidence that he appeared on the scene? If it wasn't because he was planning it all, why would he appear the moment you're in trouble?"You can say it's a coincidence after it happened for the first or second time. But what about the third and fourth times? Only someone as stupid as you would think so naively! If it weren't for me, Harvey would have already sold you out with his sweet words, and you wouldn't even know it!"Xynthia weakly said, "Mom, it's not a coincidence. I'm the one who called Harvey and asked him to come…"When Lilian heard what Xynthia had said, she felt like someone had just humiliated her, as she couldn't stop the edge of her mouth from twitching.She never thought that whe
Before Harvey could say anything, Lilian, who was practically beaming, said, "Why did you say something like that, Hector? This has nothing to do with you! The reason this happened had to be because Harvey had used brute force to get that advanced sales permit."That must have harmed a lot of people! That's why we've become a target of revenge. If someone is to be blamed, that someone has to be Harvey! So don't think it's your fault and bear the consequences of someone else's wrongdoing!"Harvey scoffed. He knew Lilian didn't like him, but he never knew her loathing for him had reached this stage. She had completely given up her pride so she could flatter Hector."Really? You think this is Harvey's fault?" Hector said in shock."No, no! Harvey has helped all of you so much, he didn't do anything wrong at all. It's all my fault in the end. I should have gotten the advanced sales permit earlier for Mandy. Well, Mandy, both you and I are good friends. When you're in trouble, you shoul
"Of course, if Mandy has anything on her mind, or needs something, I'll do my best to help her. I've been working hard since I was little to get all this, so the woman I love can enjoy all this happiness with me. Haha…" Hector said, sounding very romantic. "Mandy, all you need is to give me a nod, and I'll have the statement appear in front of you."Lilian sighed. "Look at how charitable and bold he is! Mandy, nod and stop looking at Harvey. Something like this is beyond his ability. Hector never forced you to agree with anything else, so don't disappoint him by refusing his goodwill."Harvey had just wanted to say something, but then Mandy suddenly shook her head. "No thanks, Mr. Thompson. It's against the rules to show someone else the statement, and it's also against the law. We'll let the police station do their job, alright? We should leave and stop disturbing them from their work. I believe the police station will be able to give us justice."After that, Mandy gave Harvey
Mandy frowned a little. "I can understand the reason Hector would be the person behind this. What I couldn't understand is, why would the statement say it's you?"Harvey shrugged. "I don't know why Hector wants to court you, so let's just say you're his one true love for now. Then, I will be his biggest obstacle to courting you. If he can get rid of me by either killing me or imprisoning me, then he'd have you in his arms."To someone rich and influential like him, this would be the easiest way to take a woman's heart. He would use this method. That is how a nepo baby would act."Mandy frowned. "But if I found out, he would never be able to get my heart."Harvey simply said, "What does he need your heart for? He only needs you as a person. Once he has you, he won't be worried that you'll regret it anymore. Not to mention, there's nothing you can do even if you regret it."Mandy, love is like a war zone. And the war against these nepo babies is even more terrifying. The reason I di
Hector continued to explain coolly, "If Mandy was willing to read the statement when she was anxious while that fool Lilian caused a commotion, it'd take an instant for Mandy and Harvey's fragile relationship to completely break.""A woman couldn't stay calm in a state like that. But if this happened at another time, Mandy would ask for more evidence. Even if we did it perfectly and it couldn't be traced back to us, there might still be some flaws. For example, we can't kill that stubborn officer called Captain Pavel, can we?"If we allowed things to continue, more and more flaws would appear. When the plan is too flawed, it wouldn't be able to fulfill our needs. In other words, it wouldn't have much effect despite all our effort. Instead, we might get thrown into prison. That's why I've lost this matchup."Hector let out a sigh. While he looked calm, the darkness in his eyes betrayed how upset he was truly feeling inside.That was how it was supposed to be.He spent so much effor
"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
