In the information Kairi provided, Whitley came from Gangnam. She got to know Harlan while visiting the outskirts for a vacation, and they had been together ever since.Whitley frowned when she saw Harvey walk in, but she still nodded at him in greeting.“Look who’s here, honey?” Harlan laughed. “Come, have some tea with your aunt. I’ll get the food ready. You should eat here tonight.”Harlan happily put on his apron before heading into the kitchen.Harvey froze; he was surprised to find out something new, despite having read the information provided.From what he was seeing, it seemed that Whitley was the person in charge of the family.Whitley casually signaled for Harvey to sit. She brought out two expensive-looking cups, and went to boil some tea. She seemed quite absent-minded, but every single one of her movements was just right.Naturally, she was an expert.Harvey glanced at Whitley with a look of admiration. People with such amazing tea-making skills were surely extrao
Whitley’s face was awful during the entire meal.Harlan didn’t know what happened. He didn’t know what to say, since he had always been timid with his wife.When Whitley returned to her bedroom after the awkward meal, Harlan finally spoke to Harvey.“Don’t mind your aunt. She’s been like that since forever. “How about this? You must be pretty unfamiliar here since it’s your first day. I’ll get Billie to go shopping with you. You can buy some essentials while you’re at it.“You don’t have to worry about living here.”Harlan quietly snuck Harvey a silver card.Harvey knew Harlan would be suspicious if he rejected the card. After all, he was here to seek support. He decided to take the card, thinking of returning it when it was time for him to leave. Not long after, Harlan got a call from his company and left.Billie smiled, but after Harlan left, she turned to Harvey and demanded coldly, “Hand it over!”“What?” Harvey froze.“Playing dumb, are we? Hand over my dad’s bank car
Harvey memorized every piece of information and the outskirts’ map to heart, but this was still his first time here.There were a few good soldiers from the Sword Camp who came from here.Harvey couldn’t remember the soldiers’ contact information. He sent Ethan a text asking about it, then casually strolled alongside the moat.Weeping willows could be seen. They made for quite an elegant sight.Harvey strolled around as he pondered what he needed to do next. He couldn’t just search for Mandy immediately. After all, the Two-Eyed Bead was involved. Aenar Temple, too.Even the Jean family wouldn’t hesitate to lose two branch heads for the sake of the bead. Mandy was even kidnapped because of this. If it wasn’t for Harvey, the situation would’ve been horrible.This was enough to show just how deep the waters were. If Harvey took action recklessly, the consequences would be dire. It’d probably be easier for Ethan to provide a few soldiers from the Sword Camp, so he could use their c
Harvey didn’t think he’d attract that much attention just by taking a stroll.After leaving the moat, he found a place to buy his essentials. Then, he headed to the villa Harlan arranged for him.The place was a little old, but there was no moldy smell in the air. Harlan had naturally put a lot of effort into Harvey to feel at home.Harvey was pleased. He thought of buying a villa in the Eden Mountain to repay the favor later.On the next day, Harvey decided to have a jog along the river early in the morning. The air around the place was quite refreshing, after all.Harvey had no choice but to wait since Ethan hadn’t replied. He had been running around everywhere to deal with problems, but he finally managed to have some time to rest after coming here.Harvey would occasionally do a few moves when nobody was around, and felt very refreshed.He went to the place where he bumped into some people the day before, so he could take a break. Before he could find a spot to sit down, s
“Do you know martial arts?“If you’re going to show off, then at least learn something for a few years first!“Weak-looking people like you piss me off! You understand me?!”The woman scoffed at Harvey, treating him like a crazy show-off.Harvey couldn’t help but roll his eyes. If he didn’t know martial arts, then nobody would.The woman’s practice wasn’t all that impressive anyway. That was why Harvey sighed.He didn’t have any intention of arguing with the woman. He didn’t want to expose his identity because of this, either.“Sorry, but I really don’t know martial arts. I wasn’t sighing because of you, either. I couldn’t help myself after thinking about my old friend. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”The woman frowned. “If you don’t know anything, step aside already! You better not show up here again! If you do…”“Get back here, Aria,” the elderly man said after coughing.“He didn’t mean it. He apologized, too. Stop being so aggressive already. I told you, a bad temper i
“What’s the point of pretending now?”Aria scoffed; she didn’t believe Harvey at all. She waved her hand, and the fierce man stepped in front of Harvey. Judging from his bulging waist, he was clearly holding a firearm. If anything were to go wrong, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action.The elderly man smiled when he saw Harvey keeping silent.“Let me introduce myself. My name is Lennon Surrey. This is my granddaughter, Aria.“The Eight Extremes that we practice is a little different from the rest.“You’re clearly no ordinary man. Since you could tell that there’s something wrong with my granddaughter’s practice, why not tell her?”Lennon spoke in a polite manner, as if he actually wanted Harvey’s pointers. However, his tone was laced with pride. Everyone here would have no choice but to pay their respect after recognizing the Surrey name. However, this young man in front of Lennon didn’t seem to care, as if he didn’t know him.It was only natural, since Harvey didn’t come fro
The fierce man froze, his hand stopping on the firearm.He had been fighting with Lennon in the outskirts for many years… This was his first time seeing someone as powerful as Harvey.He thought that matter how impressive a person’s martial arts were, he or she wouldn’t be able to go against firearms. Now, he finally understood; in front of true power, firearms meant absolutely nothing.He wouldn’t get the chance to pull the trigger before being taken out.Harvey ignored everyone’s change in expression. “It’s just a small trick. It’s not worth the praise. I can leave now, right?”He was the Head Coach, who had already brought up a few Gods of War. He wouldn’t be flattered by someone was praising his rise as a God of War, anyway.To Lennon, Harvey’s calm expression was no different from the look of a master.“This might be a small trick for you…but for us, this is simply extraordinary!” he exclaimed sternly.Lennon wouldn’t dare talk down on Harvey anymore. The outskirts were hu
Lennon shook after hearing Harvey’s words.“You can tell?! This is my biggest secret. Nobody in the family knows!”Lennon was truly shocked. To prevent his family from worrying—to prevent the word from spreading… He only told them that he kept coughing because of a lung disease.Only he knew that wasn’t the case at all.Aria was surprised to hear that as well.“Even big hospitals in Wolsing couldn’t treat my grandfather. They say it’s difficult… And now, you’re saying that it’s not that big of a problem?”Aria seemed hopeful.“Is there a way for you to treat my grandfather?”Aria would definitely not believe Harvey if he didn’t show his prowess… After seeing such a spectacular performance, she naturally trusted him.Without Lennon’s help, the entire Surrey family would be in utter chaos, especially with all the trouble surrounding them.This was why Aria, a mere university student, practiced the Eight Extremes. She wanted to relieve her grandfather of his worries. If she ha
"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
