At the lobby of the hotel.Autumn Reyes and her family were already waiting in the lobby.The two families having dinner together was the actual crux of the matter.Felix Howard was overcoming boredom by scrolling through his phone.He suddenly scrolled toward a piece of news, then said while astonished, “Looks like we missed a spectacle today!”“Ray Hart from the Hart family in Half Moon Bay actually came to the hotel to fetch somebody!“Seems like some great character checked into the hotel. I wonder if we’d have a chance to meet sometime!”Ray Hart had an extremely high status in all of Half Moon Bay. Everyone here would know about him.Autumn Reyes and Amelia Garza were shocked beyond belief hearing that a big shot like that was fetching a person on his own accord.They all clumped together to look at the picture of the news on the phone.“Here, this is the legendary big shot, even Ray Hart needed to open the door for him. This is insane!”Felix Howard was showing immens
Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were staring at Mandy Zimmer, with a bit of anger after hearing Autumn Reyes ask about their son-in-law.“Where did that filth go?”Mandy Zimmer came back to her senses and replied, “There was a traffic jam when he was coming over to fetch you all. He should be halfway there by now. I think he’s almost back.”“That’s good then. I thought he already ran off somewhere!”Autumn Reyes was at ease as she exchanged a look with Lilian Yates at the same time.The two had the same idea in this situation.And that was to use Felix to suppress Harvey.It was best to make him embarrassed beyond belief and leave Mandy himself.Later in the afternoon, the Zimmers and Autumn’s family had afternoon tea together.Autumn Reyes was enthusiastic when Harvey arrived, her facial expression was utterly different from the day before.Harvey was baffled by the sight.‘Did she change as soon as Simon and Lilian came?’Amelia Garza cleared her throat at that moment and h
Without a second thought, Amelia Garza continued her speech.“Oh, Harvey! I can see that you have a little experience as well!“But a man cannot have that high of a standard but no ability!“You see, Felix started to do what he’s most capable of doing, slowly but surely accumulating experience. This is the essence of a real man!“You should learn from him more! You can’t be this unpromising as a man!“I’m talking for the sake of Mandy as well!“If you don’t even have a hint of capability, then leave Mandy as soon as possible! Don’t waste her whole life!”Amelia had finally gotten to the crux of the point after a long roundabout.Autumn Reyes supplemented her speech and said, “That’s right, men need to have capabilities, or they need to stop dragging other people in the water with them!“What use does a man have if he has no capabilities and likes to be kept?”Lilian Yates waved her hand and said, “Autumn, stop saying nonsense! This man cast a spell on my daughter, she’s alrea
“Since Amelia even said her piece, they are all our guests. Of course, we will listen to their opinions!“Mandy, don’t be so quick to squash your aunty and her family’s mood!” Simon Zimmer said as if he had made the final judgment.Mandy Zimmer had no other way. She could only agree to join them to the shopping mall.After a brief rest, the families all headed out together.When Autumn Reyes and her family saw that Mandy was driving a Porsche Macan, they were all quite shocked.It seemed like Mandy was doing quite well for the family, to the point where she was even driving a car like that.But in Autumn’s eyes, she was incomparable to Felix Howard.The Porsche Macan was only an entry-level Porsche. It would only cost about one hundred and seven thousand dollars. The interior was a little limited as if it were for a small family.Felix however, was different. Despite that he just got back to the country, he was driving a Mercedes Benz S-Class. Even though it was only a 320i mod
Felix Howard knew that it was showtime.He said without even taking a look at the price tag and chuckled.“It’s just a bit of money. How could it possibly be expensive? If my dear wife likes it, I can buy you mountains of gold, not to mention just a bag!”Amelia Garza pretended to be dumbfounded, then hugged and kissed him on the mouth.“Felix, you’re just too sweet!“I’m truly blessed to have a husband like you!”Mandy Zimmer shuddered after seeing the sight.The show was so unprofessional, she was not stupid either. How could she not have seen it coming?This was all just an act to disgust people.But she did not say a word about it.Harvey York gave her a whole dressing room with clothes and bags before at Olden Trade.Amelia’s Chanel bag could not even compare to that.How could she possibly feel anything when Amelia was trying to show off in front of her with just a bag?“This store looks nice. Do you like it?”Harvey York walked toward Mandy while taking a glance ar
After hearing Amelia Garza’s ridicule along with everyone else toward Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer was boiling with anger.She then gave a slight smile and said, “Alright. If you say so, Amelia!”In the middle of her speech, she immediately went toward the counter in the store.Amelia’s head turned numb while she observed Mandy’s actions.All of the limited edition items were there, and the cheapest ones cost thousands of dollars while the most expensive ones would cost at least a hundred thousand dollars.Amelia would not dare to look at the items there usually.But Mandy actually just went there casually?This good-for-nothing woman, how dare she be this greedy?!Amelia gritted her teeth while walking toward the counter.She almost passed out when she saw Mandy signaled the clerk to take the most expensive bag.“Mandy, you went too far! This is a limited edition bag. There are only five hundred of them in the entire world. It’s worth around three hundred thousand!” Amelia wa
The sight shocked everyone from within the store.‘The price of the limited edition bag is actually three hundred thousand dollars. Who was it that said to give Mandy Zimmer the bag so casually?’Amelia Garza and Felix Howard unconsciously turned back to look.When they saw who it was, their faces had lost all color.Ray Hart?!Why was he here?!Autumn Reyes bragged about him being Felix Howard’s friend in the morning. How could they still round the lie when the man himself had shown up?Mandy and the others had known about him because of the news in the morning. They all recognized him immediately.But Mandy was stunned. Why would Ray Hart even give him anything?Maybe she saw right after all, that Harvey York was the young man in the picture.She had her speculations before, but she ultimately thought that it was impossible.But Ray Hart had shown up so suddenly as if he was proving her speculations to be correct.Without a second thought, her gaze shifted toward Harvey.
Mandy Zimmer smiled after Ray Hart had left.“Aunty Reyes, Amelia. You’ve met a nice man today that did not care much about this, don’t do it next time.”Amelia Garza and her family disdained her for a whole day. She barely had a chance to retaliate.Amelia’s face was as dark as night as she gritted her teeth.“Mandy, my husband’s still a thousand times better than your filth of a husband even if he isn’t Ray Hart’s friend!”Mandy replied calmly, “Oh really? At least my husband wouldn’t get exposed in front of other people like that.”“You…”Amelia was trembling with anger.Lilian Yates came out to alleviate the situation at that moment.“Alright, alright. We’re all family here, there’s nothing to fight about. Are we just going to make fools out of ourselves?”Mandy stopped saying another word after hearing this. Harvey York, on the other hand, was looking at Lilian.Clearly, she was on Autumn Reyes’ side.It seemed like those people were deliberately plotting against him.
"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
