Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were both terrified of the top family in South Light, the Yorks.Simon had been beaten up previously in a gambling den, cold sweats were dripping down his body when he recalled about the situation.Then, he kneeled and scolded Harvey York, “Harvey, you filth! Are you trying to kill us all?!“You hurry up and kneel too! Maybe Lord Wayne is a generous man and he’ll forget about it and maybe forgive you…“Lord Wayne, everything is the filth’s fault. You can do whatever you want with him. Please don’t look for me for any trouble!”Lilian had barely woken up in Mandy Zimmer’s arms at that moment. She looked at Harvey while her face was as pale as a ghost.“Bastard, apologize to Lord York right now! We cannot pay for the consequences!“The family is so unfortunate! How did we the Zimmers even get a live-in son-in-law like you?!”Lilian was on the verge of tears.In the next moment, a silhouette covered in bandages while holding a cane barely managed to
“So that’s what’s really going on!“I’ve already heard that the real big characters are all civilized and polite people!”“Yonathan York was already the leader of the Yorks. I heard that he’s regained control of the family yesterday!“A big shot like this wouldn’t care about some speck in his eye!”“His son should come and apologize when he does something wrong!”Simon Zimmer let out a sigh of relief and felt impressed by Yonathan York’s generosity and manners.He then nodded his head and replied, “With this good of a family upbringing. Wayne York will definitely have a promising future!”“Right! It’ll be nice if he could be our son-in-law!” both Simon and Lilian Yates exclaimed.They were already greedy from money and glory. They also loved privileged people with a high status like this.Even though Wayne had done things like that, they still hoped to get closer to him.Mandy Zimmer frowned. She felt that things were not all that simple, but she could not pinpoint the proble
Lilian Yates pointed her finger right at Harvey York’s nose. “Do you even know what being a third-in-command of the province means?”“It means that if he desires it, then the Yates would be the next top class family of South Light!”“A live-in son-in-law like you doesn’t know anything, yet you keep on babbling nonsense!”“I’m warning you, you better watch your mouth when we’re over at the Yates’! If you don’t, I won’t let you off that easily for sure!”Despite the furious look on Lilian’s face, Harvey’s expression didn’t change.Whenever Harvey was with South Light’s first-in-command, the latter would bow to Harvey as Harvey sat before him. On the other hand, South Lights’ second-in-command didn’t even have the courage to face Harvey.How could a mere third-in-command have any worth? At that moment, Xynthia Zimmer appeared to smooth things over and said, “Dad, mom. Brother-in-law may have made a verbal slip-up just now, but he still respects the Yates very much. Right?”Harv
At the same time.Xynthia Zimmer arrived at a well-known antique market in Buckwood.When it comes to the Yates preparing a gift for Grandma Yates, naturally the gift couldn’t be anything ordinary.Xynthia held the card given to her by Mandy, all set to find something meaningful in the market. Not long after, she set her eyes on a pair of porcelain bowls on the cashier desk. She scrutinized them carefully, about to pose a few questions regarding the bowls.Right then, two men walked up from the side.One of them pressed the porcelain bowl Xynthia was scrutinizing. The other said to the front desk worker, “We want these porcelain bowls.”“Hey! Don’t you know the rule of ‘first come first serve’ in a business? Can’t you see that I wanted these first?”Xynthia instantly yelled.The two men turned their heads. They had facial features similar to Americans, but with sleek hair and powdered faces.One of them sized Xynthia up. He spoke English with a foreign accent, “Young lady, t
“You rude girl! You actually slapped me!”The two Country J men became enraged in an instant.They were already used to being arrogant in their own country. No one would dare fight back even if they harassed women. Not once in their life had they ever been slapped by a woman.Slap!In the next moment, one of them retaliated and sent a heavy slap right across Xynthia Zimmer’s face!“You dared to slap me! Do you have a death wish?”“We’re going to file a police report! You’ll have to compensate for our losses!”The other smashed the porcelain bowls into pieces on the floor.Then blamed it all on Xynthia.By now, the situation had worsened. The workers in the antique market came out.A middle-aged man in the lead frowned. “I’m the antique market’s manager, Wallace Shawn. If there’s anything, you can report to me.”Everyone immediately spoke up, “Manager! These men jumped in line and hit the young girl. They even smashed the product and blamed everything on her!”To everyone’
“You’re shameless!”Xynthia Zimmer couldn’t believe her ears. How could this man say such a thing in front of so many people?“It was obvious they harassed me first! I got angry, so I had to defend myself!”“Not only did they hit me and destroy the product, but you’re also asking me to pay it back? You even wanted me to accompany them for a drink! How unreasonable can you be?!”“Ho, ho! You admitted that you hit them first!”“I’ve already asked someone to save the video of you hitting them!”“If you don’t accept our way of mediating the situation, we’ll report everything to the police right away!”“Losing a million dollars is enough to get you jailed for a long time!” Wallace threatened intimidatingly.Xynthia was dumbfounded.Although she could be a bit savage at times, she was still a student. When had she ever faced a situation like this all by herself?She couldn’t believe that this man, Wallace Shawn, would act so harshly towards his own fellow citizens.Was it all ju
When Xynthia Zimmer recited the whole story to Harvey York, his face instantly darkened by a few shades.Before Harvey could speak, however, Wallace Shawn cut him with a sneer. “Yo, you’re calling your parents over now?”“I’m telling you! Don’t even think about ending this matter today like this!”“Tell those two Country J men to get their asses out of here!”Harvey spat coldly.“Your kid doesn’t know how to respect people and you don’t, too?”“They’re honourable guests from another country!” Wallace yelled furiously. “What are you trying to pull by calling them something like the Country J men?” Harvey replied coolly, “They could only be referred to as foreign guests if they visit here with kindness. I’m already giving them face by merely calling trash like them that.”“I’m giving you three seconds. Make them crawl out here and apologize!”“Are you insane?! You want our honourable guests to crawl over here and apologize? Do you have any idea where you are?”Wallace howled.
Harvey York casually pushed Wallace Shawn away. He then kicked open the door of the VIP lounge. His eyes fell on the two preening Country J men, and he said coldly, “Were you the ones who hit her and smashed the bowls? Not only that, you even asked Xynthia to accompany you drinking?”The two Country J men stood up abruptly at seeing Harvey.“Yeah, that’s us. So what? Does scum like you want payback?”These two Country J men did not speak fluent English, but they glared at Harvey with eyes that were full of disdain.Apparently, they felt superior.“Kneel and apologize.” Harvey ordered. “I can spare you only once.” “Apologize? Impossible!”“We are distinguished guests. How can we apologize to the inferior?”“But you, you can kneel and apologize to us instead!”These two Country J men were very arrogant. They certainly didn’t have Harvey and Xynthia in their sights at the moment.In their opinion, these two inferiors were not qualified to talk to them.“Where’s the security? W
"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
