After arriving at the college town’s exhibition centre, Harvey and Yuna got out of the cab. Harvey realized that quite a number of people were staking out, probably waiting for the headmasters and chairmen of various prestigious schools. When they noticed Harvey and Yuna’s arrival, many thought of the two as competitors and shot them glares of daggers. But when they saw Yuna pulling out an invitation card, they became speechless.Who wouldn’t drive an expensive car to attend an educational gathering like this?Even those who wanted to stay low-key would at least drive an Audi or BMW. Certainly, no one else would arrive in a mere cab!Harvey and Yuna entered the banquet hall shortly after their arrival at the exhibition centre.There were people assigned specifically to check their invitation cards, who then ushered them to the entrance. “Mr. York, Ms. Yuna. The banquet is about to start. If there’s anything both of you need, you can call over any of the waiters here.”Harvey
In an educational event such as this, the security was always extremely tight.The people who went in and out of here were all big shots of the education industry. If anything went wrong here, it would reach the headlines.At Rowan Juan’s words, a few fully-armed security guards hurried over.“Sir, Miss. Please show me your invitation card, “The security requested Harvey.Harvey wiped off the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Yuna.Yuna nodded before showing the guards the invitation card from before.Seeing this, Rowan’s facial expression changed slightly. Apparently, she didn’t expect Yuna really did have an invitation card.However, she wasn’t ready to give up. She immediately suggested, “Captain! You better look properly. Maybe this invitation is stolen from somewhere!”The security captain, who was about to apologize, instantly opened the card and took a good look at it. His expression changed. “This invitation card is for Buckwood High School’s chairman, but I
Rowan Juan was shocked when the security guard captain yelled at her, and put on a look as though she had been wronged.She thought revealing the true faces of this thief and conman would be for the betterment of this gathering.Why didn’t this security captain appreciate her gesture?But how could she understand his thoughts? If this problem worsened, even if it did get taken care of in the end, the captain knew he would be finished.“Sir, Miss. Please leave.”The security captain struggled to keep his cool as he gestured for Harvey and Yuna to leave.Yuna’s face became pale white. This was the first time she had attended such an event, so she didn’t know what to do under these circumstances.Harvey, on the other hand, said calmly, “If I were you now, what I would do is to investigate Miss Yuna’s true identity instead of being unreasonable and forceful.”“After all, Buckwood High School is the best high school in Buckwood. If the school headmistress gets kicked out by you and
Luke Surrey’s complexion worsened at those words.Even though he was the Prince of the Surrey family, he still dared not lash out on this occasion. He could only glare at Rowan Juan before walking out.“Gentlemen, I do know these two. But they are surely not my friends. I will not make friends with such trash.”Normally, he would still defend Yuna.However, since Yuna and Harvey had come together now, how could he flatter them?Meanwhile, the guests were all focusing on Harvey. No one noticed that the first-in-command of Buckwood, Yoel Graham, had already entered the venue.His secretary went to Buckwood High School with Yoel today, so he recognized Harvey with just one glance. He said in a low voice, “Sir Yoel, there seems to be some misunderstanding. The identity of Mr. York isn’t that simple. I think I should go and explain.”Yoel waved his hand, his expression a little solemn. After a while, he replied slowly, “Don’t do anything for the time being. Wait until the situation i
“Prince Surrey, outsiders say that you always are arrogant since you’re a young upstart. It seems you already have the charisma of Prince York!”“You were born in the wrong era! If you entered society three years earlier, then Prince York’s got no business being in Buckwood!”“Yes! It seems that the outside world has highly exaggerated Prince York’s abilities. In truth, you’re the one who is young and successful!”The crowd around also began to praise Luke.After all, Luke did show them some respect. Naturally, they had to return the favor.As for the comparison with Prince York, this was quite normal.After all, Prince York was the number one man in all of South Light.Listening to these people comparing himself with the legendary Prince York, Luke couldn’t help but feel complacent.Being compared to Prince York was the highest honor in South Light.Didn’t Leon Silva claim he was the closest to Prince York back then?“Gentlemen, stop flattering me too much. I know very well
Rowan Juan, who was on the sidelines, found the whole thing very interesting.She never thought that things would reach this point.How dare that coquettish Yuna’s lover hit Luke Surrey?He was definitely asking for death!Now, the situation has escalated this far. Not only was this man going to die, but Yuna would also end up just as badly.After all, Luke was not as suave as he seemed to be.“Who are you? How dare you hit Prince Surrey!” Rowan ran to Luke’s side with a concerned look. She pointed angrily at Harvey and cursed, “Do you know who he is? Do you know his status?” Secretly, she was hoping that things would get worse.Luke’s eyes were ice.To him, the looks of the people around him were all a mockery.They were all taunting him!His rationale began to fade away. Right now, he couldn’t wait to slaughter Harvey.The security guards were dumbfounded. They never expected that Harvey would dare to hit Luke, even going as far as to slap the latter.It wasn’t just that
“Sir Yoel, I don’t care whether their invitations are real or otherwise, or whatever their status may be. Since they dared to hit me, they owe me an explanation!”Luke Surrey exclaimed furiously.Yoel narrowed his eyes at Luke and replied indifferently, “Prince Surrey, I’m afraid you still don’t know who is standing in front of you.”“I’m telling you. He’s a noble person who even I, Yoel Graham, have to respect!”“I know what happened. You started the whole mess. You deserve to be hit!”“I urge you to kneel right this instant now apologize to Mr. York. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”So saying, Yoel nodded respectfully at Harvey’s direction and went to greet Harvey. The sight stunned every single person in the hall.Even Yoel Graham respected Harvey so much. Who was this young man?“Yoel Graham! What do you mean?!”“You think you can run trample all over the Surreys just because you’re the first-in-command of Buckwood?”“Let me warn you! It’s only a matter of a few words from
At the scholarly gathering.Yoel Graham hung up his phone. He looked at Luke Surrey and said indifferently, “Your family head should be here soon. I hope you’ll be as stubborn as you are now later.”Luke sneered.Not only the Surrey family was a first-class family in Buckwood, but they were also allied with the other three first-class families.Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a powerful family?He would wait until the family head arrives. Then, he’d make Harvey kneel and crawl. Plus, he’d make sure that today was the last day Yoel remained the first-in-command in Buckwood!The guests watched this scene as they exchanged curious glances.The chief of the Surrey family, James Surrey, was also coming here because of such a trivial matter.It seemed that today’s event was destined to pierce the sky!After Yoel finished handling the matter, he walked to Harvey, leaned forward, and said, “Mr. York, I’m sorry I’m late. If I arrived a few minutes earlier, then all these wouldn't have h
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
