It was clear that Mandy Zimmer’s business partners knew just how terrifyingly powerful the Foster family was.They would not dare stand against Brayan Foster himself.More importantly, they would be doing a favor nonetheless if they convinced Mandy to help.Under such circumstances, everyone could benefit more if they clung to the Foster family.“I have to say, Mandy. You don’t know what’s good for you, but your business partners sure do.“They know connecting with the Foster family is a rare opportunity.“Let’s cut to the chase already. Tell me, are you going to make the call?” exclaimed Amora coldly.Mandy helplessly shook her head.“It’s not that I don’t want to. I simply can’t…”“Enough!Amora slammed the table, glaring coldly.“Tell me what you want me to do!“Whatever it is, the family will oblige if you name your price!”Mandy felt speechless after seeing Amora’s high and mighty attitude.“If I can help, I wouldn’t need you to do anything. For the sake of our relat
Amora Foster showed a proud smug with her arms crossed.Naturally, she had already looked into Mandy Zimmer’s situation beforehand.Not only did she know of Mandy and Harvey York’s relationship, she understood the things that Mandy had to deal with at the moment.The Foster family showed the utmost sincerity. They had given Mandy a deal that she could never hope to decline.Amora knew that no matter how conceited Mandy was, she would have no choice but to give in.Not just Mandy, even the people around her had their eyes lit up. They were breathing heavily while showing utterly shocked expressions after hearing those words.Safe to say that the Foster family had quite an extraordinary approach to dealing with problems!Any ordinary person could establish a first-rate family from scratch with that contract.“That’s impressive…”Mandy was hesitating when she looked at the contract.She knew that judging from the ninth branch, the contact would be able to change its destiny.No
“Fine!” Amora Foster exclaimed.“Since you’re this disrespectful…“Since you don’t know what’s best for yourself…“I should just tell you the consequences for disobeying me.Amora seemed nonchalant with a stern gaze.“First, you won’t get any new loans for the debts the ninth branch owes. You’d have to find 7.3 million dollars on your own.“Second, this contract will be given to Elodie Jean instead.“You, of all people, should know who she is.“She’s the sister of the family’s original successor, Lucas Jean.“She didn’t have the chance to take over everything since she was studying abroad…“But the contract alone will facilitate her strong comeback, and that’ll be enough for you to start panicking.“You should know what Elodie will do to you once you lose your position as the head of the ninth branch…Then, Amora tapped her fingers on the contract.“Life or death will many times depend on a single decision…“I think between a live-in son-in-law’s pride and your survival,
“From now on, I’ll be Elodie’s very own sponsor!“Not only will I hand the contract to her, I’ll even support her rise to power!“At the same time, I’ll send a letter to the Jean family in Brayan Foster’s name, saying that you disrespected my family!“Naturally, the Jean family will also be held responsible for this!“I think when that happens, your family will definitely teach you a good lesson!“Also, I don’t dare if you want to or not!“I want to see Harvey York in front of the Ostrane Five in three days, begging to treat my father!“If I don’t, I’ll get him blacklisted in the entire geomancy industry!“I’ll also get the police to take action, saying he has connections with Golden Sands’ police! The royal court will know about this too!“We’ll see who’s going to protect him after that!”Mandy Zimmer frowned.“Be reasonable, Ms. Amora! The royal court isn’t a place for your family to do as you please!”“Of course not!Amora looked cold, as if she had already won.“But y
After a whole day of working, Harvey York was planning to sleep while he was having his tea.His phone violently vibrated. It was from an unknown number.Harvey frowned. He wanted to avoid picking up since scam calls were quite prominent in this day and age.That said, the phone kept vibrating for a long while.After mulling over the situation, Harvey decided to pick up.An odd chuckle resembling a strangled duck was heard. It was quite a stern yet asphyxiating sound.“Sir York! Oh, no, Master York! Hello!“Let me introduce myself! I am Nameless. We met a few days ago.“You ruined my plans by bringing Julian York.“I had to leave the city because of you.“You should remember me, right?”Harvey frowned. It would not be too difficult for Nameless to track down his number…But why would he give a call in the middle of the night?“Cut to the chase,” Harvey said with a frown.“Heh heh heh heh!Nameless chuckled.“It’s nothing much.“That said, I plan to host a farewell banq
“Sir York.“We received word that the Faceless Group has a manor right under Indigo Mountain.“The reports say that there had been people with unknown identities going in and out of the place recently.“Based on our analysis, they’re either the remnants of the Faceless Group or support from Evermore.“In any case, there are a lot of experts hidden inside the manor.“The place is too dangerous, Sir York. Nameless is clearly asking you to die, telling you to come alone like that.“Wait for me. I’ll get the Hermit Families right now. We’ll get Mandy Zimmer out no matter what.”“It’s too late for that,” replied Harvey.“I’ll go there myself…”Then, he hung up the phone.He did not get Thomas Burton to drive him. Instead, he grabbed the key to Luca Robbin’s Toyota Prado before he drove off in front of everyone’s confused gaze.***Vroom!A car was roaring in the middle of the night.The car rushed past every single stoplight through the bustling crowd, inciting a trail of rage
The cars chasing behind seemed more intimidating, as if they could feel Harvey York’s fear. The V12 engines were constantly roaring like steel beasts preparing to attack.They were not going to hold back unless Harvey was crushed.“Have mercy at heart…“Go! Take him out of his misery!”The car in the middle had a fierce-looking monk playing with his knife in the passenger’s seat.He also had a laptop filled with Harvey’s information.Naturally, the Indians had more knowledge of Harvey than the Faceless Group.The monk, Boston Garcia, knew that Harvey had a massive conflict with the Indians back in Flutwell as well.He also knew that Harvey was the one who saved Dean Cobb.That said, that was the extent of his knowledge.On the one hand, the higher-ups did not want the lackeys to know too much in case they got intimidated. After all, the only people without fear were children.On the other hand, they did not fully understand Harvey either.After all, the people who did back
Pffft!The driver’s body was twitching when the car lost control and rammed into a boulder on the side of the road, making a huge explosion.The monks inside did not even have time to react. They could only wail in pain when they were engulfed by the flame.The cars behind instinctively stepped on the brake. Boston Garcia and the others were twitching their eyes when they saw the sight.Nobody thought Harvey would be this aggressive while being chased down.It was unbelievable for him to deal with that many experts so casually.Then, Harvey kicked his car door open before walking down.“You’re pretty cocky, kid!A short and chubby monk jumped out of the passenger’s seat with a pompous look.“How dare you defy our people?! I’ll fucking…”Swoosh!Harvey stomped on the ground without even saying a word.Glass shards flew straight ahead. The monk’s expression instantly changed as he stumbled backward.That said, he was just too slow. Blood spurted out of his neck in an instant
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
