“You want me to apologize?”Boone chuckled coldly.“You don’t have the right! You even look like a kept man! Move, or I’ll kill you next!”Kylan let out a sigh before lightly waving his hand.A few people stood up and immediately rushed toward Boone, beating up the two fighters beside him before kicking him to the ground.Someone even smashed a bottle of wine on Boone’s head when the fight got more intense.After dealing with Boone and the others, they were then dragged out of the place.Kylan’s expressions didn’t change that much.“How dare you try to steal my women, you bald fuck?!” he exclaimed with hidden intent. “I’m already giving you a chance by keeping you alive!”He then gently looked at Harvey before speaking up again.“I don’t have a lot of bad habits, but I do despise people stealing my women.“I couldn’t stand that bald man, thinking that he could do everything just because he had a bit of money. “Were you inspired by the situation, perhaps?”Rayan and the ot
“Harvey…” Kylan said with a profound gaze.“This is Wolsing. Remember that.“No matter what identity Boone has… He’s completely worthless to me.“He’ll die horribly if I simply wave my hand.”Those words were directed at both Boone and Harvey. It was an impressive sight.Veda and the other beautiful women cheered in excitement.Kylan was such a dominant man to them. They believed that he could kill off someone like Boone with the flick of his finger.An ordinary man like Harvey had no right to show off in front of Kylan and steal his woman.However, Harvey completely ignored Kylan’s threats and stood up. “We shouldn’t stay, Xynthia. Let’s get out of here.”Xynthia hesitated for a moment before standing up; she trusted Harvey’s judgment.Veda and the others sighed while shaking their heads, thinking that Harvey was just some idiot without any experience.More importantly, they believed Harvey didn’t fully understand what someone like Kylan and Rayan were capable of.Bam!Th
“This is a high-class establishment; I don’t want to ruin my mood by causing trouble here.“How about this? Get your men together and apologize. I’ll let you off the hook after that.”The man sized up Kylan for a moment.“You want me, Caelum Hughes, to apologize? At least show me your trump card before even demanding such a thing. How are you supposed to scare me if you don’t?”Kylan pridefully threw out a name card. “Just take a look for yourself.”Caelum picked up the card before showing a cold smile.“Kylan Hunt? From the Hunt family?“Sorry! Never heard of you! I might pay my respect to Ethan Hunt himself.“But you…”Bam!Caelum instantly kicked Kylan in the chest. Kylan was caught off guard; he screamed in pain as he flew straight at the table. The entire place was a mess. Sounds of bones cracking were heard as well.Kylan felt instantly sluggish; he didn’t die, but he could hear his own bones breaking. He desperately tried to scream, but he couldn’t even make a sound
After hearing Caelum’s words and seeing his attitude…Kylan already knew that Caelum was leagues above him. If not, the man wouldn’t have acted this pompously in a place like Wolsing.Kylan had no choice but to force out a smile.“Young Master Caelum! The Hunt family has good connections with other sacred martial arts training grounds. This was a mistake! We’re family here!”“Do you think I’m one of you?”Caelum stepped up before slapping Kylan around.“You go against my people, steal my women, then say that we’re family?“What? You think I won’t kill you just because you’re from the Hunt family?“If I kill you right now, your family would have to apologize at my damn doorstep tomorrow! Don’t believe me?!”Kylan’s face was as swollen as a pig’s, but he still wouldn’t dare talk back.“I’m sorry, Young Master Caelum. This was all my fault,” he said, gritting his teeth with his head lowered.“So you do know that it was your fault!”Caelum stepped up with a wretched smile befo
Before anyone had a chance to speak, Boone instantly pointed at Xynthia with a smile.“You’ll be treating Young Master Caelum tonight, girl. You’ll have a lot of benefits as long as he’s happy.”Xynthia’s expression worsened; despite having seen a lot of things, she instinctively hid behind Harvey’s after being scared.Harvey put his utensils down, and glared at Boone.“Sorry, but we have nothing to do with Kylan. I don’t care what you’re going to do. We won’t get involved. But you better not piss me off, either.”“Oh? Saving the damsel in distress, eh?”Boone froze before showing a playful expression.‘Even Kylan’s already on the ground, but an ordinary-looking man is still planning to oppose me?! What a joke!’Xynthia was simply too beautiful; Caelum would love toying with such a pure goddess.Without him even saying a word, Boone knew exactly what to do.“We’ll see how you protect her now, you bastard!”Boone stepped forward while chuckling coldly, planning to slap Harvey
With Caelum’s command, an elderly man in a robe suddenly came forward. He let out a sigh before looking at Harvey.“I know that you’re impressive at fighting, young man. But it’s a shame that you’re going against the Hummingbar. How about this? Since you’re also a martial artist, as long as you break your arms and kneel, I’ll let you live.”“If you break your master’s legs and scram, I’ll let the Hummingbar go. How does that sound?” Harvey retorted.“You’re bold!”The servant’s face darkened; he charged forward without wasting any more time. At the same time, a knife custom-made for Hummingbar members appeared in his hand when he swung it down.A quick and deadly attack!Naturally, the servant had no intention of holding back; he was prepared to take out Harvey.“Look out, Harvey!” Xynthia exclaimed instinctively.“You’re weak.”The moment the blade was about to reach Harvey, he quickly guarded himself with a fork.Clang!The blade was completely stuck.The servant, who was
“Harvey’s still so handsome, after all!” Xynthia muttered to herself.“No wonder he’s got guts to go against Young Master Kylan. He’s good at fighting after all,” Cason muttered with an odd gaze.“It’s a shame that combat skill won’t do much in this day and age.“Other than being a good fighter or a bodyguard, there’s no chance for him to go big at all!”Even though Kylan suffered such a huge loss, Cason still believed that he could hold Harvey down with his status and identity.‘So what if he can fight? Can he even go against firearms? He’s not invincible!’Harvey ignored the crowd and instead looked curiously at Caelum, who only stood still without doing anything.“If you didn’t come for me and Xynthia in the first place, I wouldn’t have gotten myself involved in your stupid business.“Of course, the point still stands. Apologize, and I’ll let you off the hook.“After all, I’m not your target in the first place. As for Kylan, you can do whatever you want with him.”Caelum g
Caelum looked deep into Harvey’s eyes before he left.Soon after, the place became extremely awkward.Kylan stumbled off the ground.“You’re pretty good at fighting, Harvey! It’d be hard to find someone like you in the younger generation!”Kylan thought of something as he sized up Harvey.“And?” Harvey casually sipped his tea.“Let me put it this way!”Kylan looked as if he had learned from his mistakes.“I admire you!“As long as you stay as my bodyguard… I’ll pay you sixteen thousand dollars per month!“I don’t care if you’re together with Xynthia or not! I swear that I won’t do anything to her ever again!“I’ll even support her using my connections in the entertainment circle! Nobody would lay a single finger on her after this!“As for what happened tonight, I’ll even bury the hatchet right here!”Everyone froze; they didn’t think that Kylan would even say something like that.The beautiful women were showing odd gazes as well.Harvey was impressive indeed. His action
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
