Mandy Zimmer did not know why Lilian Yates would ask about this, but she still nodded and replied, “Yeah! She’s back. Currently, she’s a general manager for a company in San Francisco!”“Halsey’s so talented!”Lilian was showing an expression full of admiration.“You should call and ask her to come to hang out in Buckwood. I’ll treat her to a meal when she gets here!”After her speech, she then left with utmost content.She knew that she could not convince Mandy anymore, but Halsey Lowe might have a different case.If she were to convince Mandy successfully, she would have no problems enjoying wealth and glory in the future!Without a second thought, Lilian disdained Harvey York more than before.She glared at Harvey without even greeting him when she left.When Lilian and Simon had left, Mandy then apologized, “Harvey, don’t put this to heart. Mother’s always been like this.”Harvey smiled and replied, “I’m used to it.”He wanted to explain the situation about Prince York b
At the Black Tea Diner.The Olden Trade’s most high-end dining place, it was said that a meal there would cost about ten thousand dollars.Ordinary people did not even have the right to pass by the diner, not to mention dining in the place.Yvonne Xavier and the handsome man walked into the Black Tea Diner at that moment. Harvey York then followed in hastily while frowning.Harvey saw Yvonne in the middle of the big hall when he came to the entrance.It was apparent that the whole diner had been booked. The hall was decorated as if it was a palace.Not far from Yvonne, there was an elderly woman with silver hair. There were a few middle-aged men along with a few younger women.The handsome man who came with Yvonne bowed in front of the elderly woman and stood on the side.The crowd’s gaze all landed on Yvonne Xavier. Some were as cold as ice. Others were looking at her with disdain.Harvey frowned. If he looked at it this way, the man seemed like he was not Yvonne Xavier’s boy
Yvonne Xavier tilted her head up after a moment of dead silence to look at Jesse Xavier.“Cousin Jesse, I’m not marrying anyone.”Jesse chuckled, not saying another word.Ivan Xavier then exclaimed, “Yvonne, you don’t have the right to speak in front of our great grandmother!”“You’re but a collateral relative. You’re already lucky enough that the prince of the Leo family isn’t disgusted by you. What right do you have to give him the cold shoulder?” Rita Lawson scolded Yvonne with an expression as cold as ice.Yvonne coldly glared back at her aunt.“Aunty, I’ll decide what happens to my own body. None of your opinions matter.”Slap!Rita Lawson walked up toward her and gave her a slap across her face, then exclaimed furiously, “How presumptuous! I can’t believe you’re this disobedient! Are you not even going to listen to what our great grandmother has to say?”After Yvonne was slapped, Harvey York, that was standing at the entrance, could not bear to see the sight any longer.
“Mom, this has nothing to do with him. Just let him go.”Yvonne Xavier subconsciously stood in front of Harvey York at this moment, not wanting him to be hurt.The middle-aged woman that Yvonne called her mom was none other than Iona Sherman, Yvonne’s stepmother.After her father passed away, Iona Sherman was her closest relative in public.She furiously scolded Yvonne, “You spoiled goods. You still call me your mom?“What? Your heart broke when I hit your lover?“Don’t be shameless like your father, not knowing courtesy and shame, outside looking for women every day!”Iona then shifted her cold gaze back toward Harvey after her speech, then said coldly, “A so-called prince like you only dares to take cover behind a woman? You’re just as useless as the legends say that you are!”Harvey looked deeply into Iona’s eyes, then covered Yvonne behind his back and quietly whispered, “It’s fine. I can handle things like this.”After seeing Yvonne and Harvey as if they were lovers, Iona
Harvey York did not sit down.Jesse Xavier did not mind at all but sipped on his tea without a care for the world.“Grandma Xavier’s always been like this. She wouldn’t even care about anybody that she isn’t interested in.“As for Yvonne, she was a granddaughter that Grandma Xavier really adored before. But because of you, she became a laughing stock in all of Wolsing’s upper social circle. You tell me, how are you going to pay for this?”Harvey frowned.“I have nothing to do with her, we…”Before Harvey York could even finish his sentence, Jesse let out a puff of air.“Harvey, we’re all men here. Should I be more blunt with this?”“Secretary this, secretary that. If there’s something up, the secretary does it. If there’s none, do the secretary. I’m not the one that made this up.”Harvey was utterly speechless after hearing his words.He was definitely taking the blame for this, no matter what.Yvonne Xavier opened her mouth, but she ultimately could not say a word.Jesse X
“Yvonne, I already told you. Harvey’s ambition is terrifyingly big.“A man like this will never be subdued under another.“If you choose him, you’ll live a life full of pain and suffering.”Sheldon Xavier let out a sigh. He admired Harvey York because of his true identity.Even though the Xaviers from Wolsing did not look up to his status as Prince, they would try their best to avoid conflict with the man if his other identity was revealed.But Sheldon did not once hope that his own granddaughter is involved with Harvey.“Listen to your grandfather. You should be picking Chris Leo. Or maybe you looked up to another person, even if it’s a beggar. If you say the word, I can make him into a man.”“I’ll allow anyone but him!”Yvonne then coldly replied, “Grandfather, don’t forget our promise before. Are you saying all these things to try to break the promise now?”After seeing Yvonne’s stubborn look, Sheldon then let out another sigh.“Right, the fifteen-day promise isn’t far awa
Sky Corporation, CEO’s office.The CEO’s office felt a bit empty due to Yvonne’s absence.The office desk, which was clean before, was covered with documents that had piled up like a mountain.Seeing this, Harvey couldn’t help but smile bitterly.He never took notice of his habit of making Yvonne do all the work while doing nothing himself in the past, and how much of his work Yvonne had done for him. Staring at Yvonne’s desk, Harvey muttered to himself, “Don’t worry. No one in this world can force you to do anything.”“Not the Leos of Hong Kong…”“Nor the Xaviers from Wolsing.”About half an hour later, the sound of knocking came on the CEO’s office door. Ray Hart entered respectfully.“Have you checked thoroughly?” Harvey asked.Ray answered seriously, “Prince, I’ve investigated the matter. But because we assigned someone else to check this, our identities might get exposed.”“It’s alright, pass me the documents.” Harvey said casually.The moment Harvey assigned Ray to s
At the same night, Chris Leo and the others received a message.Chris held the letter, which was blood red colour, for a long time before chuckling. “Prince York is truly arrogant and forceful. He’s basically forcing me to take back my marriage proposal!”“No, not only taking back my marriage proposal…he’s trying to step on our heads. Us, the Leos of Hong Kong! Is he worthy enough to do that?”Stephen York, who was sitting opposite of him, smiled. “Prince York is being too rash this time.”“Although he got rid of the Surreys and Ryan Gotti, this letter of his is no different from pushing the Robbins and the rest of three first-class families to our side.”“This is getting interesting.”Chris said casually, “Of course it’s interesting! Callum Robbins and the others have contacted me to discuss the countermeasures. This time, we’ll let them be the pawn before the horse. You and I can definitely reap the benefits out of this whole thing!”When he finished speaking, Chris and Stephe
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
