“From today onward, the Zimmers will enter the threshold of a first-rated family!”“Everyone, please come by the Zimmers’ for drinks tonight…!”The wealthy were cunning. When they heard this, they burst into loud congratulations. They even brought their entire families to congratulate Quinn and the rest of the Zimmers.Everyone was busy admiring them.They all knew about Prince York’s proposal.They were filled with jealousy and admiration as they looked at Quinn, the undoubted protagonist of the show. This was the equivalent of achieving the highest rank with the least work and effortlessly reaching the top!Under these circumstances, the scene was extremely crowded as if they were celebrities going out of their homes.Yet, just as the Zimmers neared the Lexuses… All of the cars turned around and left.“What happened?!”“Tell them to stop!”“Didn’t they see their bride isn’t even in the car yet?!”The Zimmers were all shocked beyond belief. After a brief moment, they sn
Originally, they wanted to use Mandy Zimmer’s identity to enter the ceremony.Yet as soon as they had gotten out of the car, someone handed them an invitation card?What was going on?Mandy looked at Harvey, perplexed. “You didn’t plan this, did you?”Harvey York frowned. He did not ask for anyone to hand them an invitation.But he simply shook his head and said, “It wasn’t me. Besides, we wouldn’t need one to enter anyway.”Simon and Lilian looked at Harvey with exhilaration before, but at what he said, they exhaled sharply. ‘Of course!’‘Just say that it wasn’t you and stop spouting nonsense!’“Heh, of course it wasn’t this filth.”A burst of laughter echoed at that moment.A chubby man with big ears got out of a Mercedes Benz and walked towards the family.Seeing him, Mandy frowned instantly. He wasn’t just anyone. He was the man that Felix Howard introduced to her before, Stanley Robbins from the Robbins family.“This is…”Lilian Yates’ eyes lit up after knowing th
“From today onward, your family’s problems are my family’s problems!”“The Robbins family may be just a first-rated family, but even the top rated families would have to think twice before crossing us!”“Now, let us attend this grand ceremony!”“But…there’s only three spots in the invitation. I’m afraid the beggar might not have the right to be inside.”Stanley pointed at Harvey York, then hugged his own arms as if he had won a battle.Lilian said coldly, “He’s just some filth. He acted on his own, signing the paper and dragging the whole family down with him!”“We should let people like him rot all by himself! No need to bat him an eye!”“Mandy! Let’s go, we should head inside!”Simon and Lilian looked like they were ready to ditch Harvey.The sight made Mandy frown even more deeply. “Father, mother. You can go if you want to. I’m not going, I’m staying with Harvey.”Stanley then smiled and said, “Mrs. Zimmer, I know that you have the heart of a saint. You won’t leave that
Some moments later, Mandy murmured in a disappointed tone, “Let’s just go home.”She didn’t expect Harvey would still talk big after things had gotten to this point. He wasn’t grounded to reality at all.Initially Mandy pitied him, but now she only felt disappointment. How was it that her live-in husband was incapable of anything except boasting?Harvey, however, looked at the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard behind him and said, “We can’t leave yet. Mom and dad will need us later.”Mandy cupped her face and let out a huge sigh.“Harvey…where did you get all your confidence from?”“What are you planning now? Are you going to ask for help from Ms. Xavier again?”“You do realize you can't ask her for favors all the time, right?”“And have you ever thought about me when you go looking for another woman the moment you get into trouble?”“Don’t you think I’ll be ashamed?”“Oh, whatever! Fine, let’s wait here since you said that Father and Mother would be in trouble soon.”On the o
If Mandy would just compare Stanley to Harvey, she could easily come to a decision.Simon then said, “Actually, we’ve been thinking of kicking Harvey out of our family!”“It’s been three whole years since they’re married. Their marriage has always lacked substance!”“For a long time, all sorts of mishaps stopped them from divorcing! It’s such a shame.”“But this time, I won’t let it go that easily!”Stanley was at ease after hearing this.His reasons for wanting to marry Mandy wasn’t just because of her good looks. He also wanted to be acquainted with the Yateses.It was true that in terms of power, the Yates family might be the weakest out of Buckwood’s five first-rated families.However, the fact remained that they were a family of government officials.For Stanley, his rank in the eyes of the other Robbins would surely rise if he could become a grandson-in-law of the Yates family.This was the prime reason behind his determination. As the three were busy laughing and gos
The three were completely surrounded.One of the guards placed a hand on the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist, as if he was facing an enemy.“Since you dare fake an invitation, I will assume you have ulterior motives. You’ll be sent to the authorities later!”Feeling the murderous intent emanating from the guards, Stanley and the others could barely control their bowels. It looked as though these men were close to unsheathing their blades.Stanley, who was born with a silver spoon, had never faced a scenario like this.He immediately gave in.“It’s my fault, it’s my fault! We’ll leave immediately!”The guard could only laugh humorlessly.“Leave? This is the site of Prince York’s engagement ceremony! Obviously, the security here is of the highest level!”“You handed over a fake invitation and caused a huge ruckus. Now you’re trying to escape? I have to question your actual goal!”“Let me be frank. All of us here are soldiers from the Sword Camp. Lieutenant Colonel Ethan
Lilian Yates pointed wordlessly at Stanley, unable to say anything.Simon was hyperventilating, all too clear about the severity of the situation.Anyone who dared to use a fake invitation at a ceremony hosted by Prince York was seeking death!“Enough, stop fighting!”The staff were scowling.“If you can’t tell us where you got the fake invitation, then we’ll put you behind bars!”“I… I… I…!”Lilian was unable to muster a coherent reply.Simon looked as if he ate a bitter gourd.Never in their wildest dreams did they anticipate something like this would happen. They hadn’t prepared any excuses to get out of this mess.They had no clue how to explain their situation.The staff member was already quite impatient. Everything that happened at the Head Coach’s ceremony was his responsibility, after all!He wanted to deal with the problems as swiftly as possible. At this moment, a thought crossed over Stanley’s mind. He glanced at Simon and Lilian. “Uncle, Aunty. I know both
Mandy was delighted. She never expected her parents could actually be fair and reasonable. They actually helped Harvey get another spot for the ceremony!Soon, the two arrived at the entrance.Harvey wore a faint smile.On the other hand, Mandy could not hide the happiness between her eyebrows.For her, having her parents accepting Harvey, even for just a tiny bit, was a cause for joy.When Harvey and Mandy arrived, Simon and Lilian breathed huge sighs of relief. They were afraid that the filth would never come. If that happened, they wouldn't know who they could pin the blame on.Simon glanced at Stanley.He then pointed at Harvey and yelled, “He’s the one who made that fake invitation! Take him and put him in jail!”Mandy heard her father and froze instantly.She quickly understood everything.Stanley’s so-called invitation was fabricated, and the guards had quickly found out.Simon called Harvey over to trick him into taking the blame.Mandy’s head turned as heavy as a
"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
