“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
Stevie Surrey’s face was stern and cold. “What exactly happened? Be honest and spill everything!”He had already heard of the start till the end of this matter, but what he had to do now was to do damage control so that it wouldn’t relate to the Surreys.Because now that the first and second-in-commands of the Buckwood’s Ministry of Education were here, even if he’s a collateral relative of the Surrey family, he would have to resign if he didn’t sort this issue properly.“It’s… it’s our fault!” Zane Shaw’s father instantly fell to his knees.He’s a businessman, so he knew the best way to react according to those situations.With just a phone call, he’s able to call over the first and second-in-commands of the Buckwood’s Ministry of Education. If Zane’s father still couldn’t guess how strong the man’s background must be, he’d be wasting his life working in the industry for so long.“Xynthia didn’t lure my son at all. It’s my own son who fell for her, so he used up loads of money t
But noting Harvey York’s attitude, the headmaster clearly knew that it’s impossible to hush this matter and the people involved.After all, Tim Zepeda was already here.Plus, didn’t they see how Tim didn’t dare to sit down at all and just stood there since the start?Smack!Looking at how the headmaster was still hesitating, Buckwood’s second-in-command of the education system, Yaron Quick, suddenly stepped up and swung his hand to give a slap across his face and spoke coldly, “Didn’t you hear what Director Tim said? Don’t waste Mr. York’s time, or else your period as a headmaster will end very soon!”“Yes, yes, yes!”The headmaster’s back was dripping with cold sweat. At that moment, he didn’t dare to look at Harvey and instead bowed before him and mindfully asked, “Or perhaps we can have Zane apologize to Xynthia?”Hearing this, Harvey snickered briefly and was lazy to speak any further.Yaron Quick saw this and went ahead to put a slap across the headmaster’s face again and
All the teachers and students present were gossiping outside the auditorium.“What’s this all about?”“Maybe it’s to announce Xynthia Zimmer’s expulsion directly! After all, she dishonored our school!”“Furthermore, her sugar daddy even drove into our school. She must have instigated it!”“I heard that she’s gorgeous, but I didn’t expect her to be such a b*tch!”Yelena Surrey and others were the first to come. They went straight to the front row because they eagerly hoped that Xynthia would end up like this.Yelena even asked someone to send her a new phone immediately. She planned to take a video of it and bring it home to enjoy it leisurely!“Xynthia, this b*tch! Does she think that she could settle this matter just by finding a sugar daddy? Nonetheless, she doesn’t know that in this Buckwood High School, we, the Surreys, have the final say!”“From the moment we made our move, she was destined to be doomed!”“Isn’t that idiot very arrogant just now? He has even broken your p
Tim Zepeda, the first-in-command of Buckwood’s education system.Yaron Quick, the second-in-command of Buckwood’s education system.Stevie Surrey, the chairman of Buckwood High School.The listed school board directors and headmasters of Buckwood High School…Lastly, Zane Shaw and his parents also came on stage.Yelena Surrey and others still constantly sneered at Xynthia when those big shots appeared.However, when they saw Zane and both his parents went up on the stage, dejected, they could not help feeling a little strange.This was because Zane’s mother was widely known as a sharp-tongued shrew.Nonetheless, she seemed to be like a boneless tiger at that moment. Her face was ashen. It was as if she would collapse at any time if the wind blew.If one looked closely, Tim and Yaron had a stern look on their faces. They seemed to be a little respectful toward Harvey while looking in his direction.As for Stevie and the other Buckwood High School staff standing on stage, all t
"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
