“Father, we’re here to attend the birthday banquet. We have an invitation card.” Simon Zimmer said, gritting his teeth slightly.Simon couldn’t be sure whether Harvey was telling the truth, but he couldn't back down right now!“Oh? You have an invitation card?” Zack Zimmer laughed. “Then show it to us!” “This…”Simon automatically glanced at Harvey York.“Harvey said…”“What did he say?” Zack smiled.“Could it be that he told you he asked someone to send the invitation card here and let you come over?”“Yes.” Simon replied.“Pfft! Hahaha…”In the next second, the Zimmers roared with laughter. How could Simon and his family believe in Harvey’s clumsy lie?This was so funny!Senior Zimmer looked at Simon and said, “You’re still so stupid. I shouldn’t have brought your family to Buckwood back then. I truly feel ashamed!”It was apparent that Senior Zimmer had forgotten why the Zimmer family was able to come to Buckwood in the first placeFeeling the mocking gazes and merc
“Mr. York, Mrs. Zimmer, you’re both here. This is your invitation, please keep it well.”Yvonne Xavier handed the invitation to Harvey York respectfully. Then, she turned around and left.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were shocked beyond belief.‘Someone actually did send an invitation!’The Zimmers were also dumbstruck by this turn of events. Harvey York was not boasting, someone really did turn up to give an invitation!And the person was none other than Yvonne Xavier of Sky Corporation!What an honor!While Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were still numb with shock, their family was respectfully invited into the banquet.The banquet was extremely crowded, and the spacious hall was flooded by people.Mandy Zimmer paid no attention to the full hall. Instead, she turned to flash Harvey a stern look. “Harvey, listen to me!”“Huh? Aren’t we already inside?”Harvey York was perplexed.‘We’re already in, what’s the problem now?’Mandy Zimmer told him seriously, “It’s true Miss
“Mother, brother!”Lilian was holding back her tears of joy. Finally, after being away from her family for so long, she was able to return to them!Simon was excited as well. He wanted to greet the family.His eyes lit up even more brightly after seeing Keith Yates.If he could be acquainted with this man, then his status in the Zimmers’ family would be solidified in the future.But before he could even utter a single word, Keith Yates simply nodded his head curtly.Grandma Yates, for her part, let out a cold harrumph. She glanced briefly at Mandy and her family, and then closed her eyes.Simon and Lilian were shocked.This was the best example of a cold shoulder!Embarrassing! Truly embarrassing!Keith Yates’ manners were still tolerable in Lilian Yates’ eyes.Naturally, her brother had barely accepted herself as family. As for her own mother, the old woman still needed a lot more time.If it weren’t for the fact that today was Grandma Yates’s birthday banquet, the old wom
At Harvey’s words, everyone flashed him looks of disgust.Especially Lilian, whose face was now as dark as night.She understood the kind of person that her mother was.Back when Lilian married Simon, he was still an ambitious man. Even then, Grandma Yates wanted to choke Lilian to death for her choice.Now that Mandy Zimmer’s husband said something that shameless, there was no way to make Grandma Yates look up to the family again.As predicted, Grandma Yates exhaled quietly, then spun on her heels and left. She didn’t even bat an eye at Mandy Zimmer’s family as she went away.Keith Yates glared at Harvey York coldly, then turned around and left as well.Since Mandy Zimmer was very capable in the eyes of the Yateses, they could accept her as a relative.But as she had married a man like Harvey, the whole family had to reconsider if they should actually accept her.“It’s fine, brother-in-law. Grandma Yates usually has a bad temper. It’ll be fine after a while,” Xynthia Zimmer t
After a long while, Simon stood up shakily and put his hands around Lilian. “Honey, don’t cry. We don’t even know what’s inside yet, what if it’s something good?!”“Something good? How can it possibly be good?!”Lilian's face had lost all color.“I only hope that it’s some sort of crystal or antique! If it’s something ordinary…”Lilian was on the verge of passing out again as she spoke..There was finally a chance to reconcile with Grandma Yates after all these years. If this filth Harvey York actually caused her to lose it, she might actually die of anger!Soon, the birthday banquet was about to begin.However, most of the VIP guests who were supposed to attend had not arrived yet.These people were all basically big shots of South Light and Buckwood’s government.Keith Yates may be the third-in-command of South Light and has a very high status in the government, but it was the big shots who held the real power. Their authority was not inferior to his.When the others paid
While everyone was gossiping about, several men in uniforms strode gracefully into the banquet hall.A young man led them. He looked around about twenty-seven or eight years, but carried the grace of an elite.This was Keith’s son and Mandy’s cousin, Finn Yates.He was a captain-level inspector at Buckwood Police Station, and thus possessed a degree of authority in Buckwood.He entered the hall, followed by his men, looking exhilarated.“Grandmother, father. Let me introduce you, this is the second-in-command of Buckwood Police Station, Deputy Inspector Greg Finch. This is the third-in-command, Kevin Caulfield…”Finn introduced seven to eight Buckwood Police Station higher ups. These figures were all one or two levels above him.However, the chief inspector was not present.These higher ups all respected Finn Yates.Under Finn’s lead, every one of them presented their gifts and congratulated Grandma Yates.“We wish Grandma Yates fortune that spread across the seas and a life
The reality was, Simon and Lilian had the lowest ranking out of everyone in the Yates family.Needless to say, Keith Yates was South Light’s third-in-command. He had a high status and immense power.His son was about to be the deputy inspector of Buckwood Police Station, a young and promising man.As for Tanya Yates, she was establishing her own business. Although it wasn’t anything major, she would earn thousands of dollars per year.Leyton Luv, on the other hand, was the vice president of Buckwood Bank. He, too, had immense power and high status. In fact, countless people constantly sought his help.Compared to them all, Simon and Lilian were nothing. They were but a bunch of clowns.Mandy Zimmer was able to make a good impression before, but she ultimately failed because of Harvey York.Right now, Simon and Lilian were ashamed beyond belief.Suddenly, sounds rang from outside the hall door.A few middle-aged men walked in with big steps. The man at the very front wore a smi
The crowd went wild after hearing this and started to gossip frantically.Finn Yates’ identity was already so extraordinary. How much better would someone he personally praised be?A bewildered guest asked, “Didn’t the Yates family say that Finn is the most talented young man in his generation? Is there another brother-in-law that’s just as capable?”“How could it be possible for a granddaughter of the Yateses family to marry an ordinary person? No matter what, she’d definitely pick a wealthy and powerful man, right?”The crowds’ gazes shifted around, finally landing on Harvey York. At the sight of him, they began to tremble.“This man, his mannerisms…!”The Zimmers, who were in the crowd, all looked terribly anxious. When they heard the gossip, they exchanged glances and burst into quiet chuckles. Quinn Zimmer covered her mouth as she laughed. “Grandfather, now I finally know why the Yateses looked up to Mandy and her family!”“Harvey must have boasted up a storm!”“The Yate
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
