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
Just a short while after Harvey York ended the call, there’s a commotion at the school gate.“What is this today? Why is the school’s chairman here as well? Did something big happen?”“Is it about Xynthia Zimmer’s matter?”“How is that possible? How could Xynthia be capable enough even to trouble the chairman?”However, not only the chairman’s presence, the crucial part was when an Audi A6 slowly parked at the school gate.“This is… Yaron Quick from Buckwood’s ministry of education, he’s the second-in-command of Buckwood's education system!”“Oh my lord, how is the first-in-command, Tim Zepeda, here as well?”“What is happening? What’s making both the big shots of the education system to be appearing here together?”“Also, why are the chairman and the others all seem so panicked? What exactly happened?”At this moment, the whole area around the school gate was in commotion, with everyone having looks of disbelief and awe.Buckwood High School had always been reserved only for
The one who arrived here was Stevie Surrey, a collateral relative of the Surrey family and the chairman of Buckwood High School.Upon seeing this man’s arrival, Zane Shaw’s father was confounded.So this punk’s backup plan was actually Stevie Surrey?If that’s the case, this matter would be slightly complicated!Meanwhile, the headmaster and the other school’s directors automatically stood up straight, with expressions of shock flashing across their faces.The headmaster even chuckled, “So we’re going to have a friendly fire amongst the people from the same family here…”But even before he could finish his sentence, the two persons who entered immediately had him astonished and so stunned that he couldn’t utter a single word.The first-in-command of Buckwood’s Ministry of Education, Tim Zepeda!The second-in-command of Buckwood’s Ministry of Education, Yaron Quick!If it’s just Stevie Surrey, it wouldn’t be much of a problem, as they’re all from the same side.But if one mana
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
