“Brother York, what is this…?”Benjamin Lynch’s expression had worsened. He subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with the sword, but he couldn’t tell why.Harvey York frowned, then squinted for a long while. Then, he said calmly, “If I guessed correctly, this must be the long-lost artifact from the Tsuchimikado family, the Demon Sword, Muramasa.“But the sword itself was already lost for ages. It shouldn’t be here.“This means that the Tsuchimikado family was doing experiments here back then to reforge the Muramasa using blood and ferocity on the battlefield.“But this method of reforging the sword must’ve failed. If not, the sword would’ve been taken away by now. There’s no way that it’ll still be here.“There are quite a lot of people coming for the Lynch family recently. There’s a big chance that they’re trying to get ahold of the sword.”Benjamin and the others were transfixed. There was no way that they would believe myths like this if they didn’t see it with
“Justin Walker announced to the public that Rachel Hardy does things sloppily and does not have the right to be Mordu’s Longmen branch leader. He will fight against Rachel to the bitter end…”“Justin Walker’s best general will be heading back to Mordu from Wolsing…”All kinds of news spread everywhere. It was evident that Mordu’s Longmen branch was already reorganized after Aiden Bauer and Rachel joined forces.Only Justin was left to be cleaned up afterward. It wouldn’t be too hard to deal with him.When there would be a chance to deal with Justin once and for all, the entire Longmen branch from Mordu wouldn’t even dare to stand up against Harvey York.Harvey was not sure whether he should be happy or sad.The high and mighty Longmen actually stoop this low in such a powerful territory, Mordu. This was truly disappointing.Harvey believed that Justin wouldn’t cause that much trouble either. He should be easy enough to be dealt with.Harvey felt a little hungry after having som
Tamara Ebony froze over hearing Xynthia Zimmer’s words, then pushed her sunglasses up.“Fine fine fine. Since the princess wants her partner with her, let’s just get him in the car then.”“But I must warn you: we’re headed to Mordu’s most well-known entertainment venue. If he causes a big ruckus there, I won’t be able to help.”Naturally, Tamara didn’t want Harvey to go at all. But since she was afraid that Xynthia would follow Harvey York, she had no choice but to bring him along.After hearing Tamara agreeing to bring Harvey along, Xynthia went to the back of the car and sat with Harvey.Tamara frowned after seeing the sight.But after thinking that the man that looked like a Fragrant Hill security guard was only following Xynthia to the evening banquet for food after meeting her out of sheer luck, Tamara became calmer than before.‘He’s just a security guard. It wouldn’t make a difference bringing him along anyway. He won’t be able to stop tonight’s main attraction.”Without
“I don’t have any opinions since Xynthia Zimmer wanted to take you out to see the world, but don’t stir up trouble!“Find a place to sit down and eat after you get in the hall. Xynthia and I have people to mingle with. We don’t have time to accompany you!“And please be a little more reserved! If you eat like a hungry wolf, you’ll be made fun of!“I’ll be embarrassed if that happens!”After hearing Tamara Ebony’s presumptuous extortion, Harvey smiled without opening his mouth while showing an indifferent expression.If it weren’t for Xynthia, he would rather be someplace else.“Right, one more thing, Young Master Holt might be here any minute now.“When you see him, please keep your distance from Xynthia!“He fell in love with Xynthia at first sight. That’s why if you get too close to Xynthia, he might just go crazy and lash out at you.”“Young Master Holt?” Harvey subconsciously asked, then looked at Xynthia.Xynthia stuck out her cute little tongue, then quietly exclaimed,
The entire hall seemed quite luxurious while being trendy at the same time. This was the favorite place for every single big character from Mordu to socialize.But Harvey York was not interested in those people at all. He could not even bother taking a second glance when he saw the celebrities that he was familiar with. He then grabbed his plate and started eating.Harvey was starving for the entire day. It was nice having such a big meal there anyway. It would save a lot of time that would take him looking for food outside.“Why are you here?”Right when Harvey was munching on three steaks, an odd tone from someone’s voice echoed behind Harvey.Harvey turned around and saw a feminine man wearing a checkered suit and gold-rimmed glasses sizing up Harvey.Harvey threw a T-bone back on the plate, then wiped his mouth.“Who are you? Do we know each other?”“Are you trying to pretend, kid?“I can’t believe you found your way here after clinging onto the Malone family for food!”T
Gulping on food and drinks in such a high-end venue like the Paramount was an embarrassing act to those well-known ladies.‘Where did this guy come from?’‘Is he a reincarnation of a hungry ghost?’A middle-aged man wearing a suit then walked over soon after. He seemed pretty polite, but there was a fierce look in his eyes.Apparently, a person like that had been around the underworld for a while and recently retired.There was a name card on his chest, Hall Manager Lenny Thompson was written on the card.Lenny strutted toward Harvey York, then slapped Harvey’s plate onto the table and coldly exclaimed, “Sir, where is your invitation? Or can you tell me who brought you in here?”“What? Do I need an invitation to a banquet now?“I need another person to get me in too?“Is this place the Emperor’s palace now?”Harvey raised his eyebrows for a second, then grabbed a tart without minding anyone else.“How come I’ve never seen you ask for an invitation from other people?“Are yo
If anyone were just doing their job as they were told, Harvey York wouldn’t make it harder for them either. He wouldn’t mind telling them his background.But since Lenny Thompson obviously came here to support Steven Bauer, how could Harvey even possibly stay civil?“With the gods’ courage, you say?“Kid, I don’t need that to deal with you.“But speaking of, why are you doing this?”Lenny looked at Harvey as if he was a scoundrel that could not be taught.“Since you’re just a low-class person that doesn’t belong in this upper social circle, you shouldn’t be crashing without any invitation!“You should know that you wouldn’t gain anything other than embarrassing yourself by coming here without knowing your limits.“Do you understand what I’m talking about here?“If you are willing to get out of here obediently, I’ll pay for your cab myself.“I wouldn’t want a rotten egg spoiling the entire basket in the Paramount either. You understand, right?”Lenny then pulled out a hundred
A few tall and strong security guards came closer to Harvey York with cold expressions on their faces, ready to throw Harvey out.“I’m sorry! I brought him here!”Tamara Ebony and Xynthia Zimmer just came out after fixing their makeup.Seeing that Harvey was in a conflict with Lenny Thompson, they came forward to mediate the situation.Xynthia immediately rushed toward Lenny and apologized.“Manager Thompson, his name is Harvey. He’s my friend, and I brought him here to attend Lady Walker’s birthday banquet.“He’s quite rash, so please be patient with him!”Naturally, Xynthia didn’t want Harvey to be kicked out before the main event even started.Tamara glared at Harvey, full of disdain. But after seeing Xynthia standing up for Harvey, Tamara still quietly exclaimed, “Manager Thompson, please do it for my sake!“I’ll make him apologize!“Harvey York, hurry up and say sorry!”“There’s nothing else to say.”Harvey started to twirl the knife and fork in his hands.“I already
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
