“The guy from yesterday?“The one who has an arranged marriage with Billie?” Asher Klein muttered to himself in confusion.“How did he get in here?“Did Harlan give him an invitation?”After pondering for a moment, Asher believed that to be the only possibility.Billie Higgs was only a relative to the family, but Harlan’s wife, Whitley Cobb, was quite famous, making Harlan Higgs’ identity rise to the top as well.The auction was relatively high profile, but it would be easy for Harlan to get an invitation for Harvey, judging from his status.That said, Asher did not understand why Harlan would do such a thing.“He’s not trying to show Harvey just how inferior he is compared to Billie…“That said, an old fox like him might do just that.“After all, because of the family’s credibility, voiding the arranged marriage won’t be easy.“But Harlan didn’t need to wait this long just to do something like this…“And now, Harvey’s even talking with Judith!“He’s just trying to die at
“Who else do you think I’m talking about?Alvaro Osborne turned around before looking at Harvey York.“You’re Harvey York, right? I’ve heard a lot about you.“You took down Teo and Roger?”“And you’re still provoking me after knowing that?”Alvaro gave a cold chuckle.“Do you think you can show off in the outskirts just because you beat some show-offs?”“What’s it to you?”Alvaro smiled after seeing Harvey’s nonchalant expression.He had seen many show-offs in his life. Every single one of them also ended up dying horribly.He quickly reached out to Judith Pedler, completely ignoring Harvey.“Give me your phone.“Don’t make me smash it.”Judith instinctively stepped back after hearing Alvaro’s fierce warnings.She had never liked him. All she felt was fear towards him.Many people constantly nagged her to be with him for the family’s sake, making her hate him even more.She even started to despise most men because of him.The flirty gazes were simply disgusting to her.
Everyone was already looking over because of Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler…Their jaws instantly dropped when Harvey York stood up against Alvaro Osborne.“Isn’t that Young Master Alvaro?! Isn’t he supposed to be training at the border? What’s he doing here now?”“That guy must be the one who sent Roger flying, right? He’s going up against Young Master Alvaro too?”“Young Master Alvaro’s a ruthless man! He’ll die a horrible death for opposing him!”“I’ve heard of Harvey before! He was flaunting his strength at Oaklands University a few days ago! He must be pretty capable!”“Can Alvaro really take him on?”Someone scoffed after hearing those remarks.“Seems like you’ve never heard of Young Master Alvaro!“He’s just a junior at the university, but he was already enlisted in some legendary army when he was just a freshman!“It’s said that he’s been through many wars and conflicts for the past three years!“He’s basically a King of Arms now!“More importantly, other than his i
At the same time, where Harvey York and the others were.After seeing a huge fight about to break out, Billie Higgs frowned and stepped forward.“I know that you care about Judith, Young Master Alvaro…“But she’s just getting to know a friend. There’s no need to report everything to you, is there?“Besides, this is Aenar Temple’s territory. It’ll be unwise for you to do whatever you please.”“Is that so?Alvaro Osborne let out a cold chuckle.“Can Aenar Temple even go against the Border Force?Then, he glanced at Harvey.“Since you want to die so badly…“I’ll send you your way then.“I’ll find a good place to bury you after that.“Don’t worry. I’ll pay for everything.”Harvey nodded before he was about to speak.A middle-aged monk in a yellow robe came forward. The crowd immediately parted as soon as he showed up.“Hello.“The Aenar Temple is a place of tranquility.“According to the rules, no one is allowed to cause trouble here.”The person was the director of the t
Everyone instinctively nodded after hearing Master Gatlin’s reasoning.Naturally, he had a point.The small-scale auction was simply a gathering of the outskirts’ upper social circle.Gatherings like these would usually prevent any outsiders from getting in.After all, the auction would seem low-class if a random person were to barge in.Without a second thought, many people were disdainful when they saw Harvey York.Judith Pedler seemed upset about that.“Master Gatlin, Harvey definitely has an invitation to be able to enter.“After all, your security guards aren’t doing absolutely nothing, right?”Alvaro Osborne scoffed after hearing Judith’s words.“Master Gatlin, this is Harvey. He’s a nobody from Golden Sands.“It’s said he’s the soon-to-be Higgs family’s live-in son-in-law.“Even if he does become their live-in son-in-law, he doesn’t have the right to attend the auction either, right?”Playful chuckles echoed everywhere.“What an interesting kid! He wants to be the
Billie Higgs bitterly frowned.Not only was Harvey York embarrassing himself by divulging the truth, but he was also dragging the Higgs family down with him.After all, he had an arranged marriage with Billie.Judith Pedler was also shocked.“Harvey, how…?” she asked instinctively.“I was invited here.”Harvey completely ignored everyone’s disdainful gazes.“You were?Master Gatlin froze before showing suspicion.“This is a prestigious auction house.“Typically speaking, everyone would need an invitation to get in, no matter how high their status.“Only a few people have the right to invite others to the auction house.“Who invited you here?“Please tell me their name.”“Just call someone and ask them about it if you’re curious.”Master Gatlin’s heart skipped a beat after seeing Harvey’s nonchalant look.If the prominent figures of the outskirts were the ones who invited Harvey here, it would mean trouble for him as well.Aenar Temple was powerful, but they still had t
Everyone was showing pitiful expression when looking at Harvey York.‘He’s still being stubborn?’‘He’s probably regretting it by now…’‘Who would even stand up for him now that people like Asher and Alvaro revealed his identity?’‘Besides, Asher made it extremely clear at this point…’‘Harvey was just an ordinary person without any special connections.’‘Everyone around could trample on a man like that…’‘Unless they were afraid of dirtying their shoes.’Lorel Bree coldly scoffed.“I expect nothing of such filth! No matter how strong he is, he’s still completely useless!”Teo Fairman held his broken arm, pondering if he should spend some money for Aenar Temple to be a little more ruthless towards Harvey.Roger Cobb scoffed. It was truly embarrassing for him to lose against such filth.But as Lorel said, he would mean nothing in the circle with combat prowess alone.Asher Klein could not even be bothered to take a glance at Harvey.A prominent figure like him would not in
Everyone froze after hearing those words. Nobody thought anyone would even stand up for Harvey York at this point.The crowd gave way before a woman with slender legs in a custom-made robe appeared.The woman had a face as beautiful as a painting and an unspeakably fierce aura, as if she were an actual princess, stopping people from even looking her directly in the eye.“Whoever did this is clearly going against Young Master Alvaro and Young Master Asher here! They just want to die at this point!”“Ignorant fool!”Some people barely considered a part of the upper social circle could not help but speak to pamper Alvaro Osborne and Asher Klein.But others quickly shut them up.“Are you insane?!”“Don’t you know this person?!”“She’s Mr. Lennon’s most adored princess of the Luster Tribe!”“What?! That’s her?!”Cold sweats started dripping down everyone’s backs.Compared to Billie Higgs and Judith Pedler, the title was simply extraordinary.The person was none other than the o
