Harvey glanced at the antique Rolex watch on his wrist and frowned.“That won’t do. It’s almost time for Senior Armstrong’s appointment, so I have to get him to his location as soon as I can.”In truth, Harvey was only looking for an excuse.He already felt quite ashamed to have Senior Oskar Armstrong inspect Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project’s construction site.To actually bring Senior Armstrong to the Yateses’ main residence?In all honesty, to Harvey, the Yates family meant nothing. If it weren’t for Mandy, the Yateses wouldn’t even have the right to look at Harvey in the eye.Some time later, Harvey quietly sent Senior Armstrong away. A shame the old man was not someone who could stand idly by. Although Harvey had arranged for Senior Armstrong to get a check-up at the Sword Camp site, the latter still headed over to Buckwood People’s Hospital all by himself. He did not call for a specialist, opting instead for a regular doctor that cost him only a dollar.When news
Later in the evening, Harvey went over to Buckwood People’s Hospital to treat Oskar Armstrong to dinner.In his entire life, Oskar did not have much love for most things. However, his love for local street food was immense.Harvey intentionally drove his old and rundown van to take Oskar out for food.Oskar chatted with Harvey casually; it was rare for the old man to be at ease.“Head Coach, you better come with me for a few drinks tonight!”Harvey did not reject Oskar’s offer as they had known each other for many years. They considered each other comrades worthy of dying for. Having a few drinks was only normal.Were it not for this, Harvey wouldn’t take even one sip of alcohol. …At the same time, at The Gardens Residence. Mandy and the rest of her family were present, sans Xynthia, were present inside.Suddenly, several hooligans crashed in, carrying equipment to destroy the front door. The door blew open in a split second.They strode in nonchalantly, all of them beari
Bang!Someone kicked Simon in his lower body. He instantly shrivelled to the ground, shaking. When Lilian tried to intervene, she was assaulted with several slaps.The men took Mandy away and soon left. The security guards working at The Gardens Residence reacted to the situation and wanted to stop the hooligans, but they all ended up knocked out.Tara Lewis, the sales manager of The Gardens Residence and also Harvey’s ex-classmate, received news of this incident around ten minutes later. Color drained out of her face. She called Harvey as soon as possible.“Harvey, this is really bad! An unknown group of hooligans attacked your parents-in-law and dragged away your wife!”“What?!”Harvey, who was having a pleasant meal with Oskar Armstrong, stood up in anger. His face morphed into a horrid expression.‘How dare somebody take Mandy away behind my back?!’The next second, he called Yoel Graham.“What is wrong with you? How is Buckwood’s security so incompetent?!”“I’m gi
Zack chuckled.“Master. She does have some status, but it’s a flickering light compared to your identity. There is no competition!”Grey realized something and asked, “So…?”“So, I made the decision to send a few men and get her here,” Zack said, smiling.Quinn, who was standing at the side, gave a faint smile.“Master Jean, this woman is extremely proud. She thinks she’s above others. Just because she looks a little decent, she keeps giving people the cold shoulder!”“In reality, she’s just a manipulative shrew who pretends to be innocent!”Grey slapped Quinn’s face and snarled, “Don’t speak without my permission! How can a woman who’s been toyed with by who knows how many men have the right to judge her?”He stood up and walked in circles twice, and then frowned.“If this happened before today, I could just let it be.”“But this woman’s identity today is completely different from before. We’re but legends of the past. If we do things like this in Buckwood, it might affect u
Slap!Mandy automatically slapped Jean, shouting, “Bastard! Pervert!”The air around them froze as the crisp sound of her slap rang. “How dare you hit me?”Grey covered his face, disbelief in his eyes, as if he had seen something unbelievable.“Even my father had never hit me before! How dare you hit me?!”“How dare you?!”As he yelled this, he raised his feet and kicked Mandy squarely in the stomach. She flew out so far that she hit the wall.Grey then stormed toward Mandy and slapped her hard until her face swelled like a pig’s. Blood trickled out of the corner of her lips. However, Mandy did not give in. She raised her head and glared obstinately at Grey. “You still dare to glare at me?! Do you believe it if I say that I’ll make you blind?!” Grey flashed her a wide grin, prepared to take action.Right then, Zack stopped Grey by saying, “Master, please calm down. If you break her, who are you going to play with tonight?”“Just beat her up after you’ve had your way wi
“You said I’ll be in big trouble? I, Grey Jean, would love to see what kind of trouble I’ll stir up after playing with you,” Grey said coldly.He was used to being arrogant, and often did as he pleased in Mordu.Mandy’s rebellious attitude in his eyes was like a spice, a wild horse; igniting his interest to conquer her. Mandy took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.“Sir, I don’t care if you’ve been urged to do this by Zack and Quinn.”“But I suggest you send me back. There’ll be huge trouble if you don’t!”“When that happens, even I can’t control what will happen next!”Mandy was referring to Prince York. In her eyes, the only man who had the capabilities to rescue her should be Prince York himself.However, once Prince York forced his hand, only God would know what would happen next.“Hahahaha!”“Zack, you Zimmers are quite the amusing bunch! It’s the first time I’ve seen people threaten me like this!”“You’ve gotten me quite interested! I do want to see what k
Around half an hour later… All of the major families and enterprises of Buckwood had investigated thoroughly.Mandy Zimmer was held inside Manor Nine at the Gold Coast, on the outskirts of the city.The man who kidnapped her should be someone from Mordu’s Jean family!The news made quite a few people gasp in surprise.The Jeans from Mordu were an existence no ordinary people could provoke.Fortunately, these families and enterprises were not in Mordu. After some hesitation, several of them decided to step out of the issue. Meanwhile, at the Yateses’ residence… Keith Yates changed his clothes and then said quietly, “Come, let’s head to the Gold Coast.”“I can’t believe the opportunity showed itself without requiring us to put in any effort! If we can save Mandy, she’d have to transfer the rights of her company to the Yateses for free as repayment!”Soon, the Yateses’ family car arrived at the Gold Coast. It was parked at the entrance of Manor Nine.At that moment, quite a
Finn frowned slightly. He studied Zack and scoffed.“Aren’t you Zack Zimmer? When did you become someone else’s subordinate?”Zack’s eyes turned cold as ice, but he did not reply.Before Finn managed to speak another word, Keith raised his hand. “Zack Zimmer, you should know who I am! Go tell your Master Jean that I’m here today for an important matter!”Zack replied, “My master said that if you offend the Jean family, would you still keep your job?”“Keith Yates! The Yateses are only able to rise from a second-rate family into a first-rate family because of your position!”“If your position is no more, then you should know better than me how your family will end up!”Keith’s face instantly turned as dark as night after hearing Zack’s words.But he knew Zack was not bluffing.If the Jean family willed it, it would be easier for them to remove Keith from his position than eating and drinking.His career had quite a few ups and downs for many years. He did not rely on anything
"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
