All of the staff there automatically saluted. After that, they put their hands down and chorused respectfully, “Mr. York, Mrs. Zimmer. We apologize for startling both of you because of this sudden problem!”“Please, come in.”Harvey nodded, then glanced at Simon and Lilian.“Those two are my uncle and aunt. Let them in as well.”The guard nodded and waved. The rest of the staff who surrounded Simon and Lilian immediately backed off.The guard then said to the two, “It was a misunderstanding before. I’m terribly sorry.”“Please, come in!”‘What?!’The jaws of the watching crowd fell as their mouths opened wide. They were unable to close their mouths.The whole scene felt like a dream.Stanley had to give himself a slap across his face to ensure that he was not hallucinating.The sight in front of him was truly astonishing.The staff members were soldiers of the Sword Camp, after all!They were the Kings of Arms with hundreds of victories under their belts. Everyone’s eyes w
Harvey calmly said, “The mystery will soon be exposed.”He was ready to propose to Mandy officially, after all. Simon and Lilian would be able to guess his identity then.To him, exposing his identity of Prince York did not mean anything.Harvey went silent, leaving Simon and Lilian Yates even more confused.But the two have an excessive love for vanity. They would do anything to get closer to powerful people.Even if they did not know what kind of nobility Harvey was, they automatically began to kiss up to him.“Oh, Harvey! We were just foolish before! Please be the bigger person here. Don’t lower yourself to our same level!”“I really didn’t think that bastard Stanley actually did something this heinous! If it weren’t for you, we’d be in big trouble!”“I only trust you, my dear son-in-law! Stanley who? Get out of here!”Harvey York smiled.He knew his parents-in-law’s personality. He would be a fool to believe their spiel.It was safe to say that his father and mother-in-l
The higher ups all stood up and gave a stern salute while paying attention to the man walking in the room.‘This must be the legendary Prince York.’Rosanne’s eyes lit up slightly after seeing the young man.She did not think that Prince York would be this young.A man that had never seen the outside world would be the best target.If she was willing to show off some of her charm and have this man completely for herself, Sky Corporation would be hers!When that happens, she would be the queen of Sky Corporation!Rosanne fluttered her eyelashes to the point where she was about to tear up. Her eyes glanced at the young man seductively, again and again.A shame that Ray did not even bat an eye at her. He scanned the room diligently, showing the aura of a man from Sword Camp who was trained to kill. The higher ups present dared not utter a single word.“Everybody sit down!”“Let me introduce myself. I’m Ray Hart. You should’ve heard of me before!”“From today onward, York Enterp
“He’ll be here soon.”As Ray Hart spoke, sounds of footsteps could be heard outside the door, followed by someone pushing the meeting room’s door open.Countless eyes all placed upon Harvey York.“It’s you, the live-in son-in-law? Why are you here?”In the midst of the crowd, Felix Howard was the first to react as he pointed at Harvey while speaking up furiously.Didn’t the live-in son-in-law know there were certain places which he shouldn’t be there?His sudden appearance wouldn’t be any help if someone discovered their cousin relationship. He wouldn’t be able to hide it himself for sure by then.“It’s the toy from that day?”Rosanne Barr and the others were surprised as well.Almost instantly, she regained her composure and jutted her finger at the security guard before yelling, “What kind of security guard are you for letting in any kind of trash? How did you even allow him to enter our higher-ups’ meeting room here?”“Kick him out of here at once so that Prince York’s moo
There were rumors going around about how Mandy Zimmer was Prince York’s underground lover.A lot of people even saw it as the biggest joke ever.But at this moment, everyone understood immediately.Mandy was definitely not just some underground lover!She’s the woman whom Prince York married in a just and honorable manner!And the proposing ceremony that was going to happen later today was all prepared for no one but her! This woman must be extremely blessed and lucky!Right then, Roxanne Barr’s face was twisted, full of disdain and jealousy.Why?! Why did it have to be that girl! Why couldn’t it be herself?!Harvey simply crossed his leg over the meeting table as his eyes scanned through Roxanne and the rest of them, who couldn’t hide their shock, only did he chuckled. “Everyone, good to see you again.”Recalling how they insulted Harvey three days ago and what kind of things they told him, some of those few higher-ups struggling to remain calm and composed even fainted rig
After waiting for Harvey York to leave, Ray set his razor-like eyes onto Roxanne Barr and the rest of them.Roxanne, Felix Howard, Brody Jenner, and the rest all lowered their heads, dared not to speak at all. They couldn’t even breathe properly.Ray landed his sight on Roxanne and asked casually, “Which hand was it?”Although Ray didn’t say anything, Roxanne instantly knew what he was talking about. At that moment, she could only reach her trembling right hand out and said with a shaky voice, “This hand.”“Seeing how you’re a woman, ten slaps will do,” Ray announced.“Smack!”Roxanne didn’t dare to defend herself at all or blabber any more nonsense as she gave herself a big slap.The slap was so strong that her cheek instantly turned swollen and all red.Because Roxanne knew very well if she didn’t satisfy Ray well enough, she would have an even worse ending for herself.Ray didn’t bother to look at Roxanne anymore as he turned to Brody and the rest and said, “You all are men
Hearing that, Quinn sniggered sweetly and said, “Grandpa is teaching the right thing, we should always be kind to everyone, you all heard what grandpa said, kneel with your heads on the floor!”Mandy Zimmer replied coldly, “We entered the door through the proper channel. Why should we kneel down for you?”Quinn sneered with a ‘pfft’ and said, “Okay then, even if you did enter with the proper channel, but didn’t you all forget? I am the mistress of this place. Now I order you to kneel before us with your heads on the floor!”“If you don’t, I’ll make your lives hard after Prince York proposes to me!”With that, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were full of worry.Although Harvey York might have some status, how would he be even compared to Prince York?Prince York was the legend of the South Light. He would only have to move his lips if he wanted to make someone suffer!And based on Quinn’s personality, she really would do such a thing.Right at that moment, a few servants walked ov
“So then, let us deliver our utmost genuine blessings to Prince York and his woman!”With that, thunderous applause erupted in the hall without stopping. Everyone was all excited, waiting to see the real faces of that couple.To be fancied by Prince York and be his woman was definitely as lucky and straightforward as your ancestral grave emitting smoke.There were rumors previously about how it would be the daughter of the Zimmer family. Most of the people didn’t believe it.Now everyone was waiting to see who would be the heroine today!Right then, Ray clapped once, accompanied by eighteen workers in white suits strode out from the backstage.These workers were all soldiers from the Sword’s Army camp, plus every one of them were from respective distinguished families of the great Country H. Thus, they had such noble and dominant air that it was astonishing.Even though they weren’t in army suits, they’re still standing strong and handsome there.This made everyone couldn’t hel
"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
