Harvey squinted his eyes and whispered to Marlee, "I don't know who your family has invited to change the geographical features of your estate, but the worst thing he did was to move away the two statues at the gate."If I'm right, your grandmother's condition has already stabilized initially. After changing the geological features, she should be pretty energetic as well. However, she is starting to feel a little numb after the two statues have been moved. "In the beginning, all of you thought it was just because she was getting older. You also started to feel something was wrong during these few days, right?"Marlee was a little shocked. "Why does it feel like you've witnessed the entire thing?"Then, Harvey explained, "Everything leaves a trace, and it's the same for geomancy. Don't tell me you think I won't be able to see something has changed when you move the two statues that protect the fortune of your entire family?"If you ask me, the geomancer you've hired is either not
Veer cleared his throat and said, "Firstly, allow me to apologize on behalf of my nephew. He already informed me about Nelly and is now kneeling inside our estate's chapel. As he said, he will repent for three days and nights. Since he can't leave at the moment, he asked me to send you his apologies. "Other than apologizing for my nephew, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of the Judds of Wolsing. The reason for all of this is because we aren't strict enough with our education and discipline. I swear in my family's name that things like this won't ever happen again in the future. We will also take full responsibility for cleaning up all the despicable acts that happen in the entertainment industry within Judd Entertainment."Veer was unsure how to feel when he said something like that. How could he not know that the sons of the Judd family had other women outside? But the problem was, it was fine for them to keep other women. But why did they allow those women to provoke
After a brief hesitation, Veer slowly spoke to Harvey. "Well… Let's start after you helped us deal with the problem haunting my mother. After that, all the seniors of the Judd family believed that there were some issues with the geomancy of this place. So, we were thinking of finding a new place to call home."However, the Judds are a big family. We have to make arrangements for many things. If we simply moved to another place, some might think that the Judd family is starting to fall. That's why we had to give up on moving, which meant the only other option left for us was to adjust the geomancy of this place."If you had asked me then, I would have asked you to help us with this since we shouldn't ask two persons to deal with the same problem. However, many elders rejected my proposal, saying you're too young and inexperienced."Ultimately, we asked Wolsing's top geomancer, Master Eridan, who has long stopped seeing any guests, to help us. Initially, everything went well. But afte
"It's your choice whether to believe it or not," said Harvey casually."Oh, come on," laughed Veer. "Since we've invited you all the way here, of course we believe you. Let's see… Please come this way."Then, Veer gestured and led him deeper into the estate. Harvey did not refuse and narrowed his eyes as he looked into the sky. He could already see a dark cloud gathering on top of the estate.In another courtyard, there was a huge lawn where a helicopter had landed. It was enough to show just how much wealth the Judd family had. But when Veer saw the helicopter, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is he back home?""He?" Harvey was quite curious. Veer was the leader of the Judd family. Could it be that someone else scared him within the family?When Veer saw Harvey's expression, he explained, "You probably didn't know this, but despite being the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, my father still has authority over me. However, he has been training in isolation all these years i
"Of course, you can. You're the leader of the Judd family!" Veronica said to Veer in a sarcastic tone. "However, to think that you've mistreated our mother… Aren't you supposed to resign already?"Veer coldly replied, "Don't worry. Even if I do resign, you won't be the next leader. So you can stop dreaming about it already."The corner of Veronica's lips twitched. She had wanted to say something else when an old man with white hair came out from the inner chamber at that moment. With a cold voice, he rebuked them, "Enough! Your mother is still unconscious in bed right now, but all of you argue amongst yourselves here. Where are your manners?"I have not been managing things for many years, but do I no longer have any influence within the family?"Veer narrowed his eyes a little when he saw the old man. Then, he stepped forward and bowed his head. "I understand, father."After seeing Veer's attitude, he turned his attention to Veronica and the others. "It's the same for all of you.
When Marlee heard what Veronica had to say, Marlee snorted. "If that Master Eridan is really as good as you claimed, none of this would have happened at all."After hearing that, Reginald's expression turned dark before Veronica could even reply. "Marlee, there are some things that you can't just make offhand comments about. Master Eridan and his school served the royal court for centuries since the 12th century. Even when it was during the Braided Dynasty and the modern era, they still possess incredibly high status."Usual families wouldn't even be able to ask for their assistance. How can you be so ungrateful and talk behind his back after he was willing to help us a second time? I will let it pass this time, but if there's a second time, you'll be punished for this, understand?"When Veronica heard what Reginald had to say, she nodded, full of pride. "That's right. Someone like you shouldn't be questioning Master Eridan. What do you know? I'm your aunt, and I have much more expe
Originally, Veer had more faith in Harvey. But seeing that Eridan was already here and had helped deal with the problem, he had to show the geomancer some respect no matter what because he was the family leader. Especially when it was something huge like this when everyone within the Judd family who was of age would have half their body become numb. If they all fell, the Judd family would be halfway ruined.When Eridan noticed Veer, who had been so serious before, was forced to smile, Eridan smiled back at him and said, "You're welcome. Your father and I are old acquaintances, and I've come to change this place's configuration. However, now that your mother has become ill, everyone is saying that it's because of my insufficient skills."That is why I have to come to your residence one more time, whether out of my own accord or the Judd family. However, it's a little late to say this, so I think I should reveal everything so that you won't have any misunderstandings toward me!" Eri
"Don't worry. Once I'm done here, naturally, I will visit the mountains behind your residence. Once I've settled everything, all of you will be fine as well," Eridan spoke wisely to those from the Judd family.Reginald smiled and nodded. "While I am no longer the leader of the Judds of Wolsing, I can promise you that you will be the Judd family VIP if you can help us settle these problems. We will give you everything you want, whether money, prestige or something else!"Reginald knew how big the issue was. If Eridan could help them stop the looming danger, then whatever price they paid was worth it.Veer noticed how relaxed Eridan was, and he said nothing. Then, he even gave Marlee a look and told her not to say anything. Marlee upsettingly bit her lip, but in the end, she said nothing.Veronica smiled when she looked at Veer and Marlee, who had both taken a step back. "Father, Veer, don't you worry. With Master Eridan's help, I'm sure our family will be as prosperous as ever. Also
While Samuel was playing his game with Lanny, Harvey arrived at an estate deep within Fragrant Hill of Wolsing. The cab had just disappeared into the distance when men clad in martial arts robes surrounded him. He hadn't done anything yet.The men all looked quite ordinary, but they all had swords by their waist and wielded crossbows. With their temples being so prominent, it was obvious they were elites in the martial arts world.From another angle, this could explain the status of the person who was inside. Who could afford such an arrangement with so many martial arts elites?A bald man gave Harvey a look before asking coldly, "Who are you?""Your master," Harvey smiled softly.When the bald man's expression turned sour, Harvey took out a badge and showed it to him. "Please inform Mr. Geoffrey that the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey York, is here to visit him. Oh, right. As the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, I'm also the Grand City's mayor
Harvey left the building a few minutes later, his hands behind his back. As he was leaving, Lanny stared at him with narrowed her eyes. After he left, Samuel appeared in front of her in the building."So?" he asked curiously. "Did you achieve your goal after I let you meet Harvey? Do you think you can use him for your revenge? Do you think you can make Dan regret the fact he abandoned you?"He then picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip as he continued casually, "Unfortunately, even I can't use someone like Harvey. Do you think a prisoner like you can use him after meeting him just once?"Lanny glanced at him. "You wanted to use Harvey to cause chaos in Grand City too, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me see him. But… After seeing him, I believe both you and I will be disappointed."Samuel looked at her, curious. "Why did you say that?""You want to use Harvey to drag Grand City down from its throne. I want to use Harvey to make my vengeance a reality.
When Lanny heard the word "pick-up girl", she couldn't help but smile bitterly. "There's something I need to inform you first. Not long ago, I've already been removed from White Peak's registrar. Dan also sent someone to inform me that from now on, we walk separate paths. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."As for what happened to the Forbidden Wasteland, I'll have to bear sole responsibility, especially about the fact that I accepted the wager. I will have to bear responsibility for all of Grand City's losses. In other words, I was abandoned. Perhaps, once I fell asleep tonight, I would never be able to wake up. "I've revealed all of this to you… Now, you should believe me that the reason I'm looking for you is not to waste your time, right?"Harvey raised his eyebrow. He knew that Grand City might abandon Lanny, but he didn't expect them to do it so decisively. Lanny was basically a persona non grata now.Of course, this was the best choice for Grand City. Not only
After Harvey and Samuel finished talking, Harvey didn't ask Samuel to stay for dinner. Instead, Samuel took Harvey to the Dragon Gate's branch in Wolsing.The branch was built with a classical look in mind. While it wasn't that big, one could see that every spot had been meticulously crafted. However, Samuel didn't take Harvey to visit every place in detail. Instead, he took Harvey deep into the branch's restricted area.Deep within the branch's restricted area was a small building. It was forged from steel, and it was something that would be difficult through force. When they reached the stairs, Samuel didn't walk forward. He simply extended his hand, indicating to Harvey to go first.Harvey gave him a strange look but still entered the building.Very quickly, they arrived at the top spot. It was about 500 square feet and was quite spacious. Aside from a bed deep, there was a simple desk. And before that desk sat Lanny, who was playing chess by herself.The woman who used to be
Samuel narrowed his eyes and smiled as he listened to Harvey. "Your business is beyond me. It might be good if you really want to go to Grand City. Anyway, I'm here for something else. I heard when Geoffrey came looking for you last night, the people from Sky Plane came over too?"Harvey nodded. "Yeah."Samuel went on calmly, "Harvey. In your view, what's the chance of this being a coincidence?"Harvey frowned. "Are you saying that it's not a coincidence for them to be here? That someone wanted to use Sky Plane to kill me?"Samuel sighed. "That depends if the perpetrator knows your true identity or not. If he did, then what was his true goal in using Sky Plane to kill you? If he didn't and simply wanted to kill you for what happened at the Forbidden Wasteland not long ago, then from a certain angle, it's quite disgusting. I'm quite speechless that a powerful entity like Grand City would do that."Samuel's seemingly casual banter carried a hint of seriousness."No matter what ha
Geoffrey fell silent. With a final smile at Harvey, he left with his men. Only once Geoffrey was completely gone did Harvey return to his estate.He drank the tea Mandy had brewed for him just before he left. The temperature was just nice. Giving it a sip, he could taste the fragrance budding in his mouth.Meanwhile, Mandy had already fallen asleep on the lounge chair out of boredom next to the coffee table. Seeing this, Harvey was a little stunned. Wasn't this the normal life he had been wanting after he retired all those years ago?After a moment of silence, Harvey took a blanket. He had just wanted to put it on Mandy when she woke up from her nap. She turned and looked at him, then smiled. "You're back? I've ordered some takeout earlier and we can heat them in the microwave. We'll just eat something simple. Is that alright?""Sure," Havey agreed. He helped Mandy clean up the dining table. While it was a simple meal, it was the most comforting he had eaten in the past few y
Slash!Sounds of dulled blades hitting flesh ripped through the air. All five Ninja Kings who had reached Harvey were in disbelief. They clutched their throats and fell to the ground.The Metal Ninja King raised his hand, wanting to point at Harvey and say something, but he couldn't utter a word. It was an instantaneous death.Harvey still managed to kill all five of them easily despite them using their final ace in the hole. The five Ninja Kings couldn't accept it—they couldn't even die in peace."Elder Geoffrey!"At this time, dozens of figures were quickly approaching.Aside from Geoffrey's bodyguards, there were students from Dragon Gate's Enforcement Hall too. When Rachel and the others saw that Harvey was unhurt, all of them let out a sigh of relief.Harvey remained impassive. He wiped his fingers clean and looked at Geoffrey, who had been watching the show.Geoffrey coughed, then walked over to Harvey and said with a smile, "You're quite good, friend. You're already a
However, no matter what they thought about Harvey, all the five Ninja Kings from Sky Plane shared the same understanding. They couldn't allow Harvey to grow. Otherwise, forget the Island Nation—even the Sky Plane could be destroyed by him.Harvey gave them a hint. "If you ask me, you should just stop splitting up between me and Geoffrey. If the five of you focus on me, you might still have some chance.""You…" The Metal Ninja King's expression changed. His face turned cold, and he quickly ordered, "Let's go!"Whoosh!The four other Ninja Kings stopped hesitating and launched themselves simultaneously right as the Metal Ninja King made his move. The five Ninja Kings congregated together and formed a Five Elements Formation.The battle began.Seeing what was happening, Geoffrey quickly yelled at Harvey, "This is the Five Elements Formation from Grand City! While it's something they stole from our country, after so many years' worth of improvement, it has become even more vicious.
"Water! Fire! Both of you, kill the kid! Make it quick!" The Metal Ninja King gave out his order. "Everyone else, come with me!"As soon as the Metal Ninja King yelled his order, the Water Ninja King and Fire Ninja King made their move. Two shadows of red and blue flashed toward where Harvey was standing. The two of them normally worked well with each other, and the moment they attacked, the winds howled with ear-piercing screeches.In a flash, both of them appeared right in front of Harvey. When Fire and Water stacked together, it made Harvey feel that the space he was standing in kept cycling between hot and cold. It was as if he was surrounded by both fire and water.As he faced the two of them, Harvey's expression remained as calm as ever. He even had the time to sigh.Whoosh! Whoosh!The instant that the two of them got close to him, Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately handed out two slaps, which went directly to their faces. "What?!"While Harvey's action was s
