"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
The following morning, the entire Wolsing's streets were paved with red by the fallen leaves blanketing the ground as the winds of fall started to pick up.The barren scenery of fall began to show itself. Even the usually crowded area around the office buildings in the Third Ring seemed to be far less lively compared to the past.However, it didn't stop businesses from going on as usual.Mandy had already arrived at the reception area of the Ninth Branch Company early in the morning. She even took a team of construction workers, as she was thinking of how to restore the damages done to the building from yesterday.For Mandy, price didn't matter. All she needed was for the restoration to be completed in the shortest amount of time possible.After working through the night, the entrance of the company had already been somewhat repaired. However, she still needed some more time to restore it to how it was in the beginning.Even then, she had already calmed down a lot.No matter wha
On the other side of the call, Pavel smiled bitterly. "Things won't be so complicated if we have all the answers. In other words, you should leave if you're already there. I'm worried that the family members will do something to you. If anything happens to you, our side will have to bear even more responsibility.""They probably don't have much hostility against me for now." Mandy looked at what had happened, and sighed. "However, all of them are in full mourning attire and are mourning in front of my office."Paval's voice stopped as soon as he heard what Mandy told him. After processing it, he said, "I'll take a team over right now. But remember, please avoid conflict no matter what happens. If someone starts to fight, then things will become even more complicated." Mandy hung up quietly.The media had already started to interview the families on the spot."My dad was fine yesterday, but in the end? He pulled his own oxygen tube last night! Someone must have threatened him!"
When Maya saw that Mandy was able to keep a cool head in a situation like this, she took a deep breath and quickly went to work."Look! Mandy's been watching us!""She doesn't have any compassion at all! Look at her, she doesn't even feel any regret. Is she really going to offer her life up for killing everyone?""Looks like the law won't be able to give us any justice! Let's go, everyone! We'll personally take justice ourselves!"After the commotion had started for a while, several people among the families started to shout. It seemed that they realized Mandy wasn't going to fall for their ruse."Blood for blood!""For justice!""Let's go, everyone!"The men started to provoke the other family members. Some of them even took out rods from somewhere, making the situation even worse in an instant.At this time, the siren from the police cruisers could finally be heard.The officers from the police station had finally arrived.However, the police didn't dare to do anything too
"Closed?" Harvey smiled gently. He took out a photo from his pocket, and gave it to the security guard."She was your boss, correct? I heard she lost her husband and only had one son. Unfortunately, her son was useless, and they lost almost everything that her husband had left for her. Now, she's dead. Her son must be mourning inside, correct?"Why don't you go in and ask your little employer if he wanted to know the truth of his mother's death? If he wants to, then let me in. I can confidently say that I'm the only one who can help him get to the truth of his mother's death."The security guard looked at him strangely. After holding the photo for a moment, he quickly went in.-Five minutes later, Harvey was inside the furniture complex.All the shops inside the complex were closed, and the lights in the corridors weren't switched on as well. Only the dim emergency lights would occasionally flash.In the corner of the complex, several security guards were sitting on the floor l
When Helios shouted loudly, many of the security guards surrounding them stood up. They all looked at Harvey with cold eyes.They were all Helios' henchmen, who worked for him.While Helios wasn't worth much, he treated his underlings well.That was why his henchmen were still willing to serve him, even when he had fallen to such a state.Harvey ignored the security guards who were approaching him, and simply walked over to the photo of the deceased woman. He looked at the face of the ordinary woman on it, and said, "This reminds me of the idiom 'give a dog a bad name and hang him', Helios."No matter what you say, you're still a nepo baby. You should understand the person who killed your mother isn't me, but the person who used her to frame others. If you want revenge, that's fine. But go look for the person who ordered her to do all this!"Kill him, and only then will you be able to truly avenge your mother. Do you think there's any point in trying to kill me? Do you think your
"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
