“But so what?”“Prince York doesn’t even look at you! You followed him for so many years, but you still haven’t made a name for yourself!”“Things are different now. Since Prince Leo took pity and turned his attention to you, you should cherish this opportunity!”“You should thank the heavens that he didn’t see you as some sort of vixen. How dare you still reject his proposal?!”“Are you that shameless?!”At Ivan’s words, the rest of the Xaviers nodded in approval.They looked at Yvonne Xavier as if she was a gold mine.If she agreed to marry Chris Leo, the benefits the Xaivers would enjoy would be far beyond anyone’s imagination.“Oh, Yvonne. It’s not that I have anything against you, but women need to take care of themselves…”“Let’s talk about Prince York who never left your mind. Didn’t he get rejected in front of a huge crowd while proposing to a stupid woman?”“But even when he was rejected, he never did consider you.”“Yvonne. Even if you don’t think anything of the f
Buckwood High School.Xynthia Zimmer’s head was hung low as she made hurried steps, as if she was fleeing from something.When she got to the entrance of the school, a few girls stood there, blocking her path.“Why are you running, Xynthia? You’re fast! You didn’t hook up with an old man for money now, did you?”“I couldn’t tell! You usually seemed like an obedient little girl, and you wouldn’t accept anyone’s confession. To make money this way, I can’t believe you’re such a loose girl!”“You can just tell us if you’re short on cash. We can relieve you of your stress. There’s no need to degrade yourself to this point!”These girls had a terrible relationship with Xynthia.Xynthia never paid any attention to the boys in her class, especially after the KTV affair. Only her brother-in-law was in her mind. It was the reason why she rejected quite a few boys that could be considered exceptional.Because of this, quite a few girls became terribly jealous of Xynthia.If they had a ch
Xynthia was not an idiot. She knew full well that once the recording spread, the rumors and slanders would never stop.“We have nothing against each other. Why are you doing this to me?!”Xynthia was perplexed.“Don’t you know that girls like you are no better than filthy street rats? Everyone should condemn you!”“Since you have a rich old man supporting you, you’re tarnishing the reputation the whole school! I’ll punish you in place of the school authorities. What other reason do I need?”Yelena Surrey shot Xynthia a look of disdain. She would not reveal her true intentions.However, it couldn’t be denied that she was enjoying the whole thing.Xynthia’s face darkened. She had no one to help her, and she couldn’t snatch the phone out of Selena’s hands.Agreeing to Yelena Surrey’s conditions was the equivalent of having a new leverage against herself.Once the recording was exposed, Xynthia would end up lonelier than before.What should she do?Xynthia subconsciously grabbed
Harvey did not start the engine when he and Xynthia entered the car. Instead he frowned at her.“Xynthia, tell me what’s going on. Why were the girls picking on you?”His question made Xynthia feel wronged.“Brother-In-Law, do you remember the KTV situation? I don’t really hang out with my classmates anymore after that.”“But this Zane guy keeps chasing after me. He confessed to me publicly quite a few times already, but I rejected him every single time.”“Yelena started to hate me because of that. I heard rumors saying she likes Zane.”Harvey massaged his eyebrows, speechless after listening to everything.It took him a while to recall who Zane Shaw was.‘Isn’t he the kid that I bumped into when I was taking Xynthia home from KTV?’‘And this Yelena kid…’ ‘What is this?’‘A soap opera between classmates?’“How did something so simple escalate to this point?”Harvey fell in deep thought. From what he saw Yelena did today, these highschoolers’ little drama did not have to g
The class teacher wore a firm expression. She knew that although Xynthia was a transfer student, Xynthia was an extremely hardworking and diligent pupil. She whole-heartedly opposed the idea of expelling Xynthia.“Principal! The situation was only a misunderstanding between the pupils. You mustn’t expel a good student because of something so minor!”Listening to the class teacher’s exclamation, Zane Shaw’s mother stood up furiously.“A misunderstanding? How could you call this a misunderstanding?!”“Zane is an outstanding student! I raised him with my own sweat and tears!”“It’s an honor both for him and us to have Lady Surrey look up to him!”“Even the parents can tell he’s fit for her!”“But then this wretched little tramp, Xynthia Zimmer, wanted to take all of the Shaw family’s money to climb up the social hierarchy!”“That’s why she wanted to destroy the two’s relationship!”“Bad students like her should be expelled!”Her logic was obviously skewed.A petty affair betwee
The accusation of Zane’s mother pushed the enchanting and alluring Miss Yuna into shivering with anger.Because of her beautiful eyes and sensual body along, with her kind heart, there had been gossip everywhere about her.But Miss Yuna was someone with good moral integrity. How could a woman like that be bought when she hadn’t even fallen in love yet?Miss Yuna could not hold in her anger anymore.“Mrs. Shaw, please watch your language!”“Stop spouting nonsense!”“If you don’t have any proof, I’ll sue you for slander!”“Sue me? Do it, then!”Zane’s mother was behaving incredibly shamelessly.“If you weren’t a loose woman, then why are you protecting that tramp Xynthia Zimmer?”“It’s all because of unclean teachers like you that students like my son would even have a chance to be born!”“How dare you sue me? Have you no shame?!”Miss Yuna was furious. She could pinpoint what mostly happened.The whole thing was just jealousy between students, no harm done.But Zane’s moth
“Who’s the president here?!”Harvey glared coldly at Zane’s vixen of a mother. He had seen too many women of her ilk, and could not be bothered by her kind.“I am! Who are you to barge in the school’s meeting room like this?!”The principal stood up and gowered at Harvey, full of discontent.“Have you at least investigated the situation thoroughly before you decided to expel Xynthia?” Harvey York demanded icily.“This situation only concerns the school staff. It has nothing to do with you!”The principal barked back disdainfully.‘Where did this young man come from? How dare he question me? What a joke!’“I’m a relative of hers. Of course it has something to do with me if she’s going to be expelled.”“Whoever slanders her in front of me will perish.”Harvey’s expression was as cold as the arctic. He did not appreciate a mere principal acting so pridefully in front of him.“Kid!”At this moment, Zane’s father stood. His body stank of seafood.He threw Harvey a contemptuous
Of course, the headmaster didn’t know who Harvey York was.But he knew full well that not only did Zane Shaw make significant donations to the school. He was also closely acquainted with the chairman of the school.Plus, the chairman was from the Surrey family, so the conclusion to how this matter would be settled was set early on. It would be impossible to change it.At that moment, the headmaster spoke up coldly, “I don’t care who you are, but today’s result won’t be changed in any way.“Xynthia Zimmer is expelled out of our school, and regarding the issue of you trespassing the school, I have the power to seek legal responsibility from you!“And you shall settle the financial problem yourself with Zane Shaw.”Harvey’s face turned cold as he scanned through the faces of other members of the school’s board of directors. “So, do you all here think the same way as he does?”“You punk, do you really think you can change our decision by trespassing our meeting room here?”“You sho
"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
