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
Harvey said icily, “Are you going to suggest I don’t save my wife?”Oskar shook his head.“No way!”“But the first-in-command South Light’s military is transferring defenses. People in and out of the country have been keeping a close eye at Buckwood.”“Under these circumstances, it’d be bad for us to make any big moves. If you expose your identity now, you might even harm your wife in the future.”“When that time comes, it might not just be the Jean family, but also other external authorities..”“That’s why we should handle today’s affair discreetly and peacefully.”“It’s not wise to pick a fight.”Harvey replied, “So what you mean by that is…”“I heard there’s a man titled the king of the streets in South Light. His name is Ryan Gotti. He was a subordinate for the Jean family. Make him show up and tell Grey Jean to send back your wife and apologize. How’s that sound?” Oskar asked.Harvey pondered deeply.“Right. I’ll try it for your sake.”“If Grey Jean sends my wife back
Grey was shocked by the sight.“Sir Gotti, why are you doing this?”Ryan’s legs went limp as he knelt on the floor. He dared not look at Mandy at the moment. He spoke, trembling, “Master Jean, I’m here to ask you for a favor. For the sake of our past relationship, I want you to accept whatever I ask of you, no matter what!”“What is it? I’ll do my best.”Grey still thought that Ryan was the king of South Light’s streets. Thus, he would not give up an opportunity to do Ryan a favor.Zack and Quinn stared curiously at Ryan as well.How could a legendary man like him fear anything?Ryan replied, still trembling, “Master Jean, someone asked me to send word.”“He told you to send Mandy Zimmer back, then grovel and apologize there.”“And he wants you to chop off the hands of those who attacked Mandy and her parents!”“What?! How presumptuous! Don’t they know that we’re the Jean family from Mordu?!”Zack jumped in anger.Quinn added coldly, “Don’t think that you can just spout out
“Sir Gotti, please pass this message for me.”“Even if that person was King, if he doesn’t kneel and apologize to me…”“I want him to die without a burial place!”Grey exclaimed, laughing profusely. He approached Mandy and slapped her.“Is this the so-called people who you said could bring me trouble?”“I don’t know what kind of man he is, but I’ll still make him kneel before me and watch as I toy with you!”Blood started seeping out of the corner of Mandy’s lips, but her expression remained ice cold.Seeing what Grey had done, Ryan trembled in fear.Grey Jean was looking to die!He still dared to hit that fiend’s woman!Ryan could only hurriedly exclaim, “Master Jean, I understand already. Please stop hitting her! I’ll retract my words immediately!”He swiftly crawled away after he was done speaking.His heart was shrouded in complete fear. If that man knew that his woman was in this state and started to retaliate…Imagining the consequences, even the previous king of Sou
Guards were scattered outside the manor.The guards in charge of guarding the front door felt that something was wrong.Quite a lot of people normally go in and out of the area, but it was now suddenly dead silent.Then, they spotted Ryan’s appearance.A few men followed behind Ryan.“Please go back, Senior Gotti. Master Jean just gave the order. He said you’re a fart in the wind and you have no right to see him anymore!”Before Ryan left, Grey sent someone to investigate.He found out that the streets of South Light had changed entirely in the past few days.Ryan was only an ordinary old man, no longer king of the streets.How could a man such as him be worthy of meeting Grey?Grey thought that he already paid Ryan enough respect by not beating the old man up.The guards shot Ryan looks of disdain.How could an old man with no authority show off in front of Master Jean?Was he courting death?Ryan was perplexed. He guessed what had happened and said, “It’s not that I wan
"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
