No matter how unbelievable things seemed, it was beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hector had already died.Mabon had to accept it. While he didn't have any evidence, he was certain Harvey had a direct link to Hector's death. Harvey wouldn't hesitate to do the deed.When the thought crossed his mind, Mabon began sweating profusely. Luckily, he acknowledged his defeat immediately. Otherwise, he would be the one who died.Should he still pick on Harvey in the future?Mabon closed his eyes. He knew that after today, Harvey would become the biggest psychological obstacle in his mind, haunting him forever.Even Mandy was very confused. She wasn't sure what kind of expressions she should make. In fact, she wasn't sure what she should do.Hector suddenly died.What happened in the dark for that one minute?Jesse took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down while the others were still too surprised to act.Then, he scanned the entire crowd and waved his hand, saying, "Call rein
Jesse and Mabon sat face to face in Geraldton Hotel's presidential suite."You're the organizer and person in charge of the Wolsing Property Expo, Mr. Mabon," Jesse said as he took a sip of coffee. "From our investigation report, you're the one who informed the Thompsons about your event. I believe you can convince the Thompsons to let it go."I believe Mr. Harvey will prepare some form of compensation for the Thompsons. I hope no one will use this chance to kick up a storm when Wolsing is in a very sensitive period," Jesse said calmly, as if he was simply stating a fact.No one can change his attitude, even if the person sitting opposite of him was Mabon of the Wright family."I know you're the next in line to lead the Dragon Cell, Mr. Jesse. You're also the scion of the Xaviers of Wolsing. You're not someone I can offend when you have both identities. Ah, I forgot. You're also the student of the previous leader of the Dragon Guards, and you only went to Dragon Cell because of a
After a long moment of silence, Mabon finally sighed and said, "You're not planning to give me a way out of this, Mr. Jesse. I've already provided a statement according to what I've seen. I believe you'll all be very happy with this statement. "I've done everything I can, but now you're asking me to go to persuade the Thompsons? I don't think I can do that," Mabon said in a way that made him look powerless. "You can't force me to do the impossible."Jesse said, "I know what you're thinking. You think I'm ignoring the law just so I can help my sister. The truth is, you should have a basic understanding of who's right and who's wrong. Using that as a guide, I don't think there's anything wrong with my judgment today."Don't tell me you don't know what the situation is like right now. Wolsing can't fall into further chaos because of what happened recently. Not to mention, if the Thompsons go all out and fight Harvey until the end… I can tell you the ones who will lose won't be Harvey.
It was nine in the evening at the Wolsing International Airport.A luxury business jet bearing the flag of a particular nation quietly stopped in the corner of the airport without attracting any attention.The door opened and a group of men slowly disembarked from the jet.Leading them was a male islander with a slightly pale face.His facial features were all quite comely. He could even be considered quite handsome. He looked similar to a famous celebrity from his country. Other than being handsome, he also carried the same cold aura borne by the nobility from the island nations. One look was enough to make people feel uncomfortable.There were several men and women clad in robes behind him, their expressions cold.The robes they wore were all of different colors, representing the five classical elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.When it came to this, the islanders had mastered a majority of the knowledge they obtained from Country H.However, when the five of
A few minutes later, the Rolls-Royce Ghost started and followed behind the discreet vehicle.Inside the Ghost, Shingen was sitting face-to-face with the others. He lit up a cigar and gave it a huff before asking, "What's your view with the Xaviers' attitude in this?""Very strange," Mizukakushi said.She was a sensual woman with a figure typical of an Islander. She was also someone who could make it to the big screen. However, a woman like her was extremely sensitive to all kinds of information. She had found out many useful things when she was with Shingen.That was why Shingen instinctively asked for her opinion."Normally speaking, a huge family like the Xaviers of Wolsing wouldn't be unsophisticated. The young ladies from their families should have already been engaged with the sons from other similarly top families."However, they had contacted the Shinto Way not long ago and proposed a marriage for you. From what I gathered, the Xaviers didn't find a woman from a branch fam
Shingen nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. At the same time, he took out another cigar and started to smoke. After he was done with the first puff, he said, "You said these are all on the surface. Why don't you tell me what's under the shadows?"Mizukakushi nodded and said, "Maybe it's me being too suspicious, but I found out something the Xaviers had never told us. Yvonne has been working as Harvey's right-hand woman for a long time, and the two of them often appear together."In other words, Yvonne might have belonged to Harvey already. If you're going to steal his woman, he's going to go against you until the bitter end.""Harvey?" Shingen was slightly taken aback. "Why is this name so familiar to me?""Of course you're familiar with ut. He's the one who has ruined Shindan Way and Shinkage Way's plans in HK City. Even our men from Shinto Way in the outskirts have suffered in his hand. In other words, this man is our public enemy. Unfortunately, he's still living a good long
Only when the old man had put down the brush in his hand did Jesse take a step forward and say, "Sir, Mr. Shingen from the Shinto Way has arrived."The old man turned and let out a smile. "I am Nashon Xavier. I'm glad to finally meet you."Shingen smiled and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Nashon. I know what I'm capable of, so please stop teasing me."Shingen didn't want to waste his breath anymore, and immediately steered the conversation to the topic of the day."Since the Xavier family has invited me to Wolsing for a marriage proposal, I wonder if my possible fiancee is already here? I'm not exactly particular about this, but I don't believe I'm asking too much if I wish to see the woman who's going to be my wife earlier, right?""Of course not, of course not." Nashon laughed and waved his hand. "Jesse, ask your sister to come out here."Jesse smiled and left. After a while, Yvonne appeared in front of all of them while wearing a white traditional dress. She didn't wear any makeu
"Sir, while the blood of the Xavier family does flow within my veins, the Shaw family is the one that raised me. I'm afraid not even I can decide who to marry. Only the Shaws have the right to decide that for me. "It doesn't matter how I look at it. The Xaviers have no right to do this… Especially when you're asking me to marry an Islander. You're dreaming!"With that, Yvonne added determinedly, "You want me to marry him? Over my dead body!"When Nashon heard what Yvonne had to say, his expression darkened. "Yvonne, don't forget that this is part of our deal. The family has used our yearly privilege to assist you in helping that man and used our men in Dragon Cell to silence the critics. And now, you wish to turn your back on us?"I can make Harvey innocent, but I can also make him guilty. Whether he's innocent or guilty is in your hands. That's why I must ask you to reconsider before speaking another word."Yvonne spat coldly, "If I have to marry an Islander to make free Harve
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"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
