"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
Emery's gaze did not even shift as he calmly said, "Speak."Janus whispered, "Linus Xavier, who just came from Country A, had been sent to prison by the precinct. From the news we received from the precinct, this precinct's higher-ups have a vested interest in this, and they've even received some interference from Country A's foreign relations department."That's why the precinct will handle this as fairly as possible. According to my sources, Linus won't be convicted or deported, but he would be locked up for at least three days and three nights."Emery finished the tea from his cup and said, "Isn't he back to regain the Xaviers of Wolsing? How did he end up behind bars when he just arrived? Who did that?""Harvey," Janus did not want to mention the name, but he had to. "The man has a good relationship with Journi and impresses Princess Sienna. And according to my sources, he's also the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group and the representative of Country H's Martial Arts A
Janus hummed under his breath for a while before saying, "Sir, aren't you overestimating Harvey too much? Think about it. He might be smart, but only a little. On Wolsing's chessboard, he's only a pawn at most. It's pure luck that he can accomplish some things and offend a few people here and there."Emery set down the teacup in his hand and sighed. "Lucky? I admit that he might be lucky, but can someone be so fortunate that he can take over both the Country H Commercial Group and Country H Martial Arts Alliance at the same time when he literally just arrived in Wolsing?"And then, it doesn't matter who goes against him, whether it's a Young Master from the top ten families or the arrogant Islanders, all of them end up badly. And then he even interfered with the top ten families and five hidden families' family matters, which meant that he was already part of the top social circle in our country and had access to our resources."But most importantly, someone like him was completely
Janus was slightly surprised. "If we simply watch how things develop, Linus would absolutely fall. Nashon is a schemer and with Jesse's relationship with Dragon Cell and Dragon Guard… Even Yvonne isn't any ordinary woman. Not to mention that now Linus is imprisoned, everything will be over by the time he's out."Emery snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, I can't do something too obvious as an observer, but as Linus' friend, it's fine if we give him a word of advice, right? Linus is from Country A Xavier Inc., so we only need to tell him what will happen next. If he still doesn't know what to do, he deserves everything that comes for him."Janus nodded as he listened to Emery casually explain it. Since Linus started it all, he needed to end it. Everything Linus was facing right now should be solved by himself.Meanwhile, given Country A Xavier Inc.'s abilities and reach, countering the Xaviers of Wolsing should not be that hard once they knew what they wanted to do."There's an
Next morning.Two more days until Linus was released from prisonThis time, the Xaviers did everything they could. On the one hand, they used the media to set certain things as top searches. On the other hand, they used all the spies they had planted to find all the contracts regarding their work with the Island Nation.But as time passed, things did not progress well.At the CEO's office in Sky Corporation, Harvey had just finished reviewing some documents. Just when he was going to force himself to go through the rest, the office door opened slightly.Next, Yvonne slowly walked in with a cup of well-brewed coffee and lightly placed it on the desk. When Harvey saw her in the office, he was a bit surprised. "Why are you here? Are the problems with the Xaviers all done?"Yvonne shook her head. "Not yet, but we did everything we could. Whether we can solve it will depend on fate, I guess. But rather than staying at the residence with a frown, I rather do some work at Sky Corporatio
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne arrived at Saint Mary Hospital, a hospital the Xaviers had invested in. They immediately headed to the ICU.When the two of them walked in, Jesse, Sia, and the others from the Xaviers quickly walked over."Yvonne, Harvey." It was obvious that they were treating Harvey as one of them already.Yvonne nodded and asked, "What happened?"Jesse extended his hand and said, "You'll know when you see."Yvonne and Harvey exchanged a look and walked into the ICU together with Jesse. Then, they saw countless machines continuing to operate, surrounded by blinking lights in the innermost ward. Nashon was lying in the hospital bed with different kinds of liquid flowing into him through the tubes connected to him.As the liquid was intravenously fed into him, Nashon's life seemed to be hanging in a dangerous balance."What happened to Nashon?" Yvonne asked. She could not believe it. She just spoke with Nashon over dinner last night. Why would Nashon suddenl
Harvey calmly asked, "Do we have any leads?"Jesse shook his head. "Currently? No. The one who's behind this hid their tracks too well. I've already sent my people out to investigate the source when this happened, but we didn't get any valuable leads. But at this time, finding the person behind this isn't important. The important thing right now is that we need to save the patriarch. "Otherwise, if anything happens to him, Linus will have another excuse to attack us tomorrow at the press conference."Harvey nodded, pulled out a mobile, and gave it to Jesse. Then he said, "Since I'm heavily suspected of being the person behind this ploy, I can't do anything to help him in this situation. But I believe Oskar will be able to help for my sake.""The National Doctor Senior Oskar Armstrong?" Jesse was slightly stunned when he saw the number on the screen of the phone Harvey handed to him. A moment later, he was already making a call on the other side. He wanted to contact him, but only
The expression of the man and woman both darkened with Yvonne's questioning. "Who are you then? What right do you have to question us? How can you prove that this is a private hospital? How can you prove that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department? Who do you think you are? The boss of this place?"The woman cried out arrogantly. Even her arguments were full of disdain."That's right. You're not the boss of this place, so why are you interfering in our matter? Go away, or I'm going to make you pay for our destroyed drone!" The two pretended they did nothing wrong, and Yvonne's sudden appearance spoiled their plans.Harvey observed the two coldly. While they acted very roguishly, their flexibility and arrogant tone showed they were anything but ordinary.At the very least, they were very used to situations like this."I'm sorry, but I'm Saint Mary Hospital's CEO," replied Yvonne with a smile and then pointed at the man's mobile. "Delete everything you've
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
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
