Harvey York could not be bothered talking to the woman who cared only about money.Harvey left the hospital and went to Flutwell Gymnasium by cab.He was going to participate in the Longmen Summit.Comment by Hassanel Zachary Amaludin: Can this term be changed to Summit instead of Conference? Seems like a conference usually relates to academic discussions rather than martial arts competition. Just a thought.Comment by David Dobrik: Good idea yea let's change itHe was not interested in the event at all, but he had no reason to decline after being forced by Colton Torres.Rachel Hardy already sent some documents to Harvey early in the morning.Basic procedures of the Longmen Summit were written inside.It was a simple procedure. The people from Longmen and its branches, the Bauer family, or martial artists were eligible to participate.The qualifier would be held in all prefecture-level cities.The first stage would have a hundred participants chosen to participate in the qual
Harvey York chuckled.“Thanks for the vote of confidence. I’ll definitely keep the promise since I already agreed on doing this.“That said, I’ll have to ask Ansel Torres’ help for the next couple of days.“For instance, the people kneeling in front of the People’s Hospital. I want them to stay there.“They’re not allowed to move a single inch before three days pass.”Harvey brought up the subject ahead of time since he thought Colton Torres would talk about it in the first place.Colton felt speechless before he heaved a sigh.He was interested at first, but Donnie Burton and his son were Indians, Cody Garcia’s people.It was highly unnecessary to go against Cody at this moment.But since Harvey had already brought up the subject, Colton did not feel the need to say anything else.“Since you already decided, I won’t say anything about it,” said Colton in a helpless tone after heaving yet another huge sigh.“But I must warn you! Cody is a dangerous man!“If you must go agai
Harvey York frowned before he looked over. A few beautiful women were staring back at him.The woman in front had a ponytail with simple sportswear. Even so, her makeup was still exquisite. She was the type of woman who people could not help but take a few more glances at.Harvey felt that the woman seemed a little familiar when he saw her.“You’re…”“What? Have you forgotten about me already?The woman showed an arrogant smile on her face.“It’s me, Kori John…”“Kori John?Harvey stood frozen before he let out a chuckle.“I remember now! You’re the beauty queen in our school!”He finally remembered the woman. She was in the next class during his time at university.It was said that her family was quite extraordinary. Kori came from a family of martial artists. They had never met ever since she came back to Flutwell.Harvey only knew her because she broke some equipment that cost a few thousand dollars during her internship.She even hurt herself because of it.Harvey mer
What just happened?!Harvey York was at a complete loss.He reluctantly came all the way here. This had nothing to do with Kori John!But before Harvey could even say anything, Kori immediately cut him off with a sigh.“I get it, Harvey.“My friends keep saying that you’ve been into me since university! You kept going on morning runs behind our dorm just to get my attention!“You never stopped doing it, even when it’s raining cats and dogs!Kori playfully flipped her ponytail, wafting a pleasant smell from her hair.“To be honest, I didn’t believe it before!“I know I was the best-looking and the one with the most talent in the university, but I didn’t expect someone would actually be that into me.“It’s been so many years since graduation, but you came all the way here from Buckwood just to see me!“This means that you’ve been asking around for my whereabouts!“What can I even say to you at this point?”At this moment, Kori felt good about herself.“I know you’ve complet
Naturally, Kori John was not happy with Harvey York denying his actions.It was nothing if he was only a poor sob, but he could not even admit to the fact that he did everything for her! She was deeply embarrassed because of it!How was she going to show off about it then?! She would not be able to satisfy her arrogance!Kori looked down at Harvey and scoffed coldly.“No matter how hard you try or how much you do, you still won’t have a chance to be with me!“I’m already the outer disciple of Longmen’s Flutwell branch.“And you? You’re still just a loser!“We’re from totally different worlds!“Let’s get inside, sisters.”Kori flipped her hair before strutting inside the gymnasium with her friends.Harvey felt speechless when he looked at Kori’s back. He was not sure if Kori was just overconfident or if he was just extremely unlucky.He only came to participate in the competition, but he was treated like a stalker following someone all the way here.Harvey trembled when the
“You have two hours! Sixty points will be your passing grade!“Everyone who passes will be ranked from the highest score to the lowest! Only the top one hundred will be eligible for the qualifiers!“Do not talk to each other or play with your phones during the exam! You will be disqualified if you do!“Both the examiner and the invigilator are disciples of Longmen!“The chief examiner today will be the vice branch leader of Flutwell’s Longmen branch, Fisher Benett himself!“If anyone finds out someone’s cheating, you may report that to Vice Branch Leader Benett! You’ll earn additional points once it’s been confirmed!”After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, a dozen people stood out to greet the examinees.The most striking person was a strong old man in a robe with a fierce look.That man was none other than Fisher Benett himself.A mere vice branch leader was not that impressive since Longmen’s headquarters were in Flutwell…But that identity was pretty impressive for the
“Silence! The exam’s starting!”Soon after, the papers were distributed. There were a hundred questions in total. Multiple choice questions, true or false questions, and fill-in-the-blank questions could be seen.But those questions were quite in-depth.Anyone trying to muddle their way around the test would be screwed instantly.Even Kori John and the others were frowning as soon as they saw the papers.Harvey York swiftly answered the questions without a change in his expression.The examiners seemed quite relaxed, though.Other than the fact that there were dozens of surveillance cameras, the test was just too difficult.There would be no use cheating if none of the examinees did not know how to answer the questions themselves.After going around the hall twice, the examiners started doing the test papers themselves, trying to see what score they would get.Half an hour later had already passed…Harvey was already done with the test when it was actually scheduled for two
The exam ended soon after. There was still an hour before lunchtime.Since there was an answer sheet for the examiners to refer to, they did not take a long time to mark the papers.Everyone waited almost an hour before the results came out at eleven thirty o’clock.Wilbur Lee and the other examiners were returning the papers on the podium.Everyone was anxious about their scores at this moment.Even people like Kori John were filled with anxiety. On the other hand, Harvey York remained indifferent.The people who had their papers returned early had all failed the test, proving just how difficult it was. The whole place was incredibly pressuring at that very moment.“Emma Bierstadt! Seventy-nine points! One-hundredth place!”The crowd gasped. The score was not that high, but it was high enough to participate in the qualifiers.“Abby Miller! Eighty-two points! Eighty-ninth place!”***Good scores were constantly being read out while the crowd cheered, calming everyone down qu
"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
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
