Pamela sat on the floor as her body trembled. Hector's death was a huge shock as well as an invisible source of stress to her. It almost made her lose all the courage she had to go against Harvey.However, she was still a woman born from the top ten family of Wolsing. After the initial shock, she had completely calmed down.What Harvey did was truly shocking and terrifying indeed, but Pamela had dealt with her share of troubles over the years. She gritted her teeth; after a moment of planning, she covered her face and dialed a number.-At the same time, a red Lamborghini slowly stopped in a parking lot right outside at the entrance of Wolsing International Airport.Journi gave Harvey a look with complicated feelings before taking out her briefcase and passing several bank drafts and passports to Harvey.Harvey glanced at the bank drafts and passports, but he didn't take them. "What are you doing?" "These bank drafts are worth 1.5 million dollars. You can cash them in any ban
"If you ask me to simply leave like this… Firstly, you're belittling me. Secondly, there's no need for this. No matter how powerful Emery is, he's nothing that terrifying," Harvey said, smirking.He had never treated the so-called top scion of Wolsing as a serious threat. There were very few people in the world who could pique his interest and make him treat them seriously. "Harvey, how can you be so…" Journi wanted to say Harvey was being ungrateful, but when she remembered that she was the reason Harvey was in this situation in the first place, she couldn't say anything else.Harvey then said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Why don't you tell me what's happening between you and Emery? If you can explain things to me, perhaps I can understand enough to find a way to help you. Of course, you don't have to tell me if you're having reservations."Journi gave it a thought and bit her lip. Then, she said, "There's nothing to be reserved about this. If we're looking at the root ca
"What?" Journi was slightly taken aback after listening to Harvey.Harvey raised his hand and signaled her to look behind them. She then saw several black vans parked not far away from Journi's Lamborghini. The vans all had fully tinted windows. She couldn't see just how many people were inside. At the same time, the car plates had also been covered up with a black cover.Their brazenness could already explain a lot."What should we do now?" Journi instinctively asked Harvey. She was still a young woman after all. She was scared when she saw what was happening."Simple. Do you know the duty-free shops in the airport?" Harvey said with a smile. "Let's go shopping. I'll pay for all your shopping expenses today."And then, Harvey got out of the passenger's seat before walking over to the driver's side and opening the door. He then extended his hand at Journi. Journi was first slightly shocked but still took Harvey's hand with a little bit of embarrassment.Harvey then gave the van b
When Emery stretched out his right hand, Pamela could see the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch he was wearing. It looked a little worn, but it instantly showed the kind of taste he had. While the watch was only becoming popular in recent years, few could afford it or had the taste for it in the past."No need to be so courteous, Emery. You're simply making me uncomfortable," Pamela said with a bright smile. As she smiled, she could feel the pain in her face. It made her resentment toward Harvey grow even greater."We're going to be family soon, so there's no need to show such courtesy reserved for outsiders. Originally, my daughter is supposed to take care of you tonight. Unfortunately, a man who came out of nowhere seduced her, and now the entire Stanton family is in quite the pickle."Despite being your senior, I really shouldn't be here for failing to do something as simple as this. Please don't pin the blame on me and give me one more chance…" Pamela peeked at Emery when she said
Emery ignored Pamela who was kneeling on the floor. He raised his right hand, snapping his fingers.After he snapped his fingers, a beautiful woman wearing a white martial arts robe entered the room from outside and stood next to Emery.Emery enjoyed his cup of tea and said, "Betty, give Janus a call and ask him how things are progressing."Betty nodded and walked out of the room with a cold expression on her face. Then, she started making some calls. After making those calls, she frowned and walked over to Emery and said, "Mr. Janus hasn't made his move yet.""Not yet?" Emery asked without a change in his explanation. "Is Harvey that hard to deal with?""Not exactly, but…" Betty hesitated a little and then said, "Harvey and Journi are shopping in the duty-free shops in the airport. There were too many people there, and they bought so many things that the airport had dispatched many security officers to escort them home."Janus has no opportunity to do anything at all. It might g
Murderous intent filled the entire estate at that moment. However, Harvey seemed to have foreseen this. He simply put the shopping bag behind the door. Then, he slammed the fire alarm button on the wall with his right hand.The emergency lights instantly lit up, accompanied by a blaring alarm.Despite the opposing force having already cut off the power, the entire estate was still lit up and was as bright as day. The assassins in black, hiding in the darkness, were instantly exposed. As they had gotten used to the dark, the sudden flashes of light blinded them temporarily.Harvey picked up the bolt on the ground with his right hand and hurled it forward with a whistling sound.There was a thud, and the assassin in front of him collapsed on the ground as he held his neck without making a sound. At the same time, Harvey immediately kicked the body away and it flew into the air.Several bolts immediately hit the flying corpse with multiple thuds. The corpse had blocked the killing
"You must be one of Emery's right-hand men and one of the Kings of the criminal underworld of Wolsing. Janus, right?" Harvey walked over to the coffee table and poured himself a glass of water and finished it in one gulp.Janus narrowed his eyes. "You know a lot about me."Harvey smiled. "Of course. I have to, since my followers are preparing to replace you. How are they supposed to replace you if we don't know enough about you?"And then, Harvey clapped and said, "Right. Tell your underlings to come out now. It's a little bit boring if they're still hiding so cowardly."When Janus heard what Harvey had to say, he gave it a thought and looked around. Once he was sure there was no ambush, he then clapped.Very quickly, dozens of men and women in dark and tight outfits appeared. All of them were equipped with machetes and repeating crossbows. They immediately spread out and kept on kicking open the door into all the other rooms.Harvey calmly said, "All my doors here are antiques,
After hearing what Harvey had to say, Janus was slightly shocked as he coldly said, "Good analysis. The ones here today are the cream of the crop in my association. If you can kill me and then kill them all, then it's true that my faction won't be far from falling apart. But the question is… Can you kill all of us?"The smile on Janus' face disappeared, replaced by a faint murderous stare."Of course, I can," Harvey said with a shrug. "You still don't get it? If even Emery doesn't deserve any respect from me, where do you think you stand, Janus?"Janus let out a chuckle. He wasn't scared by Harvey's words at all, and instead showed a look of keen interest. "I admit that you're bold. I also admit you're a strong fighter. But those will not help you in your boastings, since they mean nothing when faced with absolute power."For example, you killed several of my underlings easily just now, right? But the problem is that I have hundreds…even a thousand underlings who are of the same
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
"Kill him? Why should I?' Dan pulled out a long cigar and lit it up. After a huff, he puffed out a ring of smoke. "I've just received news that Vaida has gone crazy, and she's sure that Harvey was the man of her destiny. That way, once he leaves Grand City, she would die of depression or kill herself. Looks like I can become the mayor soon. The Hierophant didn't lie to me…"-There was no difference between the day-and-night cycles within Grand City and the world outside. When the sun finally set, Grand City was lit brightly, enticing everyone to enter.Harvey, who had been trying to send a sliver of his energy into Vaida, walked out of the room. There was a hint of fatigue on his face. He thought that it would be ineffective to do that. But he did not know why, after sending in his energy, Vaida managed to recover somewhat.Other than still being somewhat unstable and sure that Harvey was her man of destiny, she was slowly regaining control. Harvey felt a bit strange, but all he c
Harvey suddenly remembered something when he saw Vaida returning to her deep sleep. "I heard that Grand City doesn't have a mayor right now. Then, what's going on with the previous mayor?"Geoffrey sighed and answered, "After the Hierophant prophesied Vaida as the third incarnation of Grand City's progenitor, he had left Grand City to find a way to deal with this. A decade… He's gone for a decade, and no one has seen him since then. That's why everyone believes he's already dead. That's why the seven families agree that Grand City has no mayor right now."Harvey frowned. "Then, what about Dan?"Then Geoffrey replied, "Dan is the mayor's final disciple. But the old mayor had only taught him for less than a year before leaving Grand City. According to the city's rules, if Vaida is killed, Dan will become the leader of the Belladonna Cult. And he will also naturally become the mayor of Grand City."Harvey nodded. He had learned some more things. Vaida was indeed part of the Belladonna
According to Geoffrey, Vaida's condition was precarious. While no one was targeting her, she might jump into the sea on her own again at some unspecified time.A condition like that was very difficult to deal with. No matter what was torturing Vaida, Harvey believed that it might not be within his power to help her."Have you realized that Vaida seemed to be opening herself up to you in the final moments? She even fell into your arms," Geoffrey remembered something else. "Do you think her condition would improve if we simply continued with this? Of course, I know you're in love with someone else, so I am not imposing on you. But can you please stay with her as much as possible while she's in Grand City? This might stabilize her emotional state."Neve also nodded continuously. She could tell that Vaida's condition was severe and complicated. If Harvey refused to help, she might attempt to jump into the ocean again as soon as she woke up.Harvey was speechless and heaved a sigh. "You
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
