“Just how old are you? Are you planning to find a college or university for further studies?” Mandy was happy to see that Harvey was motivated.If her husband really intended to study, she would be willing to pay for him to study abroad.But Harvey shook his head solemnly and said, “It’s not for me, but Xynthia.”“Isn’t she in her third year of high school? She’s going to university soon.”“I found that the universities in Buckwood aren’t that good. I’m afraid Xynthia has to go to Wolsing, Mordu, or maybe San Francisco for university.”Mandy laughed and said, “Harvey, you can just let Father and Mother handle it. You’re just her brother-in-law. You don’t have to worry so much.”Harvey rubbed his temples. He couldn’t tell Mandy that he had seen through the true colors of those in Buckwood’s education community at the scholarly gathering tonight.“Seems like I have to push forward the trip to San Francisco. I’ll help Xynthia go and see the universities there.”Harvey murmured.H
After deciding to go to San Francisco and helping Xynthia to look for a good university, Harvey asked Yvonne to make preliminary arrangements for the affairs to come.For instance, the branch company in San Francisco needed a capable local person to be responsible for independent operations.Mandy was very surprised after Harvey told him about going to San Francisco. “Are you really going there to help Xynthia to search for a good university? How long are you staying there?”“Three or five days at most.” Harvey thought about it in his heart.If it turned out well, he could settle the affairs in the branch in one to two days. Then, he could visit the University of San Francisco.In truth, deep in Harvey’s heart, he hoped Mandy would go with him.It was a pity that Mandy had been too busy recently. How would she have time to go with him?Mandy thought for a while and said, “If you want to go, you can go. But since you’re going there, please do something for me.”“What is it?” Har
At Hong Kong International Airport.Quinton and Queenie York were walking together side by side. Even in a world-class international metropolis like this, the sight of both of them together was still extremely striking.At the VIP boarding port, Quinton stopped and coldly said, “I’ve already arranged everything in San Francisco. You only need to sit still when you get there. No need to do anything unnecessary.”Queenie sent him a smile that could topple buildings.“Are you scared?”Quinton did not reply, but the instant he turned around, a sinister flash appeared in his gaze.Queenie tilted her head slightly at seeing his back. She sighed and asked, “Are these little tricks really useful?”“If you fail again, I don’t think even Grandma York would let you off the hook.”…At San Francisco Airport.Harvey York was already quite bored of waiting when Queenie had boarded her plane.About half an hour later, Halsey Lowe showed up.Her height was around 5.5 feet tall. She had wel
As expected from Halsey who had just returned from studying overseas, to have an impressive mouth on her. If it were any other person, they would be talked down by her to the point of utter embarrassment.But Harvey, who was already used to such words, did not feel a thing.Harvey glanced at Halsey through the rear-view mirror and asked full of curiosity, “What if I like being kept?”“Then I’ll finish you off myself,” Halsey coldly replied.Harvey shrugged.“Miss, are you studying the art of killing from abroad? Is killing me the first thing that you thought of? This is a federalist society!”“No need to smooth talk me. Soon, I’ll get you a big heap of money to leave Mandy alone.”“Rest assured, the money should be enough to last until you die happy!”“If you’re willing to leave Mandy, we can talk about the price.” Halsey continued icily.Harvey was speechless.“Miss, why do you keep talking about my and Mandy’s divorce? Can’t you be a bit more peaceful and friendly?”“The
The car swiftly drove down the streets of San Francisco in silence. The two soon reached the shopping center and stopped at the building of Sky Corporation’s San Francisco branch.The place that Halsey wanted to go was none other than this place.“I’ll leave my luggage with you for now, I’ll contact you again at night.”“Another thing. Hurry up and return the car already. The fees for today will be on me.”As she spoke, she threw a stack of money from her purse to Harvey.To her, the Bentley was rented by Harvey. Since that was the case, she would pay for him.She also generously gave a little more than the rent for Harvey’s hard work.It was safe to say that despite being prideful and fierce, Halsey still had some compassion left in her.Unfortunately, she was also treating Harvey like a servant.Out of respect for her admiration for Prince York, Harvey decided to be the better man and let her be.At that moment, Ray Hart gave a call.“Sir York, have you arrived at the San
They had to admit that Halsey Lowe was indeed very capable.Even though Harvey’s questions, which Ray asked, were really insightful, Halsey managed to answer them one by one.It was safe to say that she came prepared.Before she came here, she already decided that she wanted to be the general manager of the San Francisco branch.When the interview ended, Harvey knocked on the desk and immediately called Ray’s phone.“Tell her she’s been accepted.”Ray froze, but he soon replied, “Of course!”He did not have a stance of his own in front of Harvey. He only served Harvey.After putting the phone down, Ray flashed Halsey a smile.“Congratulations, Miss Lowe. I’ve just received a call from my CEO.”“He said that you’re very suitable for the position of general manager in our San Francisco branch. You can handle some of the procedures for today, and you’ll be able to oversee the businesses of the entire corporation from tomorrow onward.”“I hope we’ll get along together.”“What?!
Harvey was now certain of Halsey’s personality.He was indifferent at that moment, so he casually threw the money into the car’s armrest box.Halsey could not help but show a hint of disdain in her eyes after seeing that.She thought that she had judged Harvey correctly.She thought that the filth felt like he could get more money from her, which was why he was being attentive while having no other reason to do so!How could a man like this possibly be a good fit for Mandy Zimmer?Harvey did not forget to playfully tease Halsey and asked, “Are you here for business? Is it going smoothly? Don’t forget about me when you get rich!”Halsey rolled her eyes after hearing his nonchalant question.“Do you know what this place is?”“Isn’t it written on the building? It’s the San Francisco branch of Sky Corporation,” Harvey replied.“It’s a good thing that you know, because you should. After integrating all of the Yorks’ assets, this company is now the top corporation in all of South L
Halsey gave up on eating in the end. She only ordered a cup of coffee and started to sip on it.“You’re already full?”Harvey was curious.Halsey nodded, her face dark.She saw Harvey grabbing all the food in front of him and munching rudely on them.When Harvey was about done eating, Halsey then said icily, “Harvey, our ancestors have a saying: table manners meets character.”“I don’t even need to see your other behaviors to know that you’re a selfish person, and that you have absolutely no shame!”“If I guessed correctly, Mandy’s also paying for the rent of the house you two are living in, right?”Naturally, Halsey knew about the situation of Mandy living in The Gardens Residence.Harvey nodded.“Yeah. She’s paying for property tax, too!”“You! How shameless can a man like you even get?! How are you even fit for Mandy?!”Halsey was now shaking in anger.“Then what kind of man do you think is a fit for her?” Harvey asked.Halsey gave a humph when Harvey asked her that vi
"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
