The next day.In a courtyard halfway up Scuva Mountains.This place was provided by Aenar Temple for people to practice an ascetic life.The place was called Mandrake Residence.Asher Klein sat near the edge of a cliff while looking out the window. He could not help but feel energized when seeing the billowing clouds.Beside him, a beautiful woman was making some tea.“Why would you come this early, Mr. Asher?“Don’t you despise this place the most?”The woman was from the Island Nations. She was an exchange student of Oaklands University and the university’s vice president, Nanako Kawashima.Asher briefly pondered about the situation before he frowned.“You don’t have to follow me here, you know.”Nanako smiled.“I think it’s only natural that I do after seeing you have something on your mind.“Besides, you should know that my uncle, the Kawashima monk who doesn’t teach, is currently exchanging interacting with the Aenar Temple.“I’m planning to introduce him to you soon
Knock knock knock!As Asher Klein was pondering if he should pounce on Nanako Kawashima, someone suddenly knocked on the door.“Come in.”Asher held himself back before quickly composing himself.A steward of the Klein family quickly came inside before whispering into his ear.“What?!“Eve Clubhouse was burned down?!“And Romina’s nowhere to be found?!”Asher quickly lost all color on his face.Romina Klein was in charge of the Klein family’s underground businesses.Not only did she have a huge amount of evidence of the family’s crimes, but she also had a group of powerful and loyal sacrificial soldiers.More importantly, she was the one who knew what happened to Harvey York from start to finish.One of the biggest reasons that Asher went into hiding was Harvey.Since one of the crucial people involved with him disappeared, this was no less than terrifying.“Did the family say anything about this?”The steward quickly changed his expression.“The eldest young master sen
Asher Klein froze.“What do you mean by that?”“As long as you marry me, the Kawashima family will use everything we have on the outskirts, the entire country, just for you to rise to power.“We have the money and the manpower.“The Klein family wouldn’t be able to oppose you as long as we have your back.“And when you rise to power, it’s only a matter of time before you destroy the Wolven Tribe, the three great tribes, and be included in one of the three great temples.”With Nanako’s words, Asher still had a bright future ahead of him.“And what do I have to pay for that?“This is a lot of help from the family…“What’s the price for that?”Nanako merely smiled.“There is none.“Not just that, we’ll even ask the Emperor to include you as one of the newest members of the royal family. Not only will you have your own land in the Island Nations in the future, but our child will also get the glory of inheriting the honor!”Asher’s eyes lit up. In reality, Nanako proposed that
“The Aenar Temple’s background, Aryan’s power, and Stefan’s connections…“Everything tells the world that this is a sacred place that cannot be desecrated!“The person I went up against is named Harvey York.“Even if he does find out that I’m the main perpetrator, he wouldn’t dare chase me all the way here!“As long as I don’t leave this place, I will never lose!“That bastard even provoked Stefan, of all people!“Even without that, Aryan wouldn’t let anyone touch me for the sake of the Aenar Temple!”Asher showed a confident look as if he had already won.He quietly swallowed a blue pill with some tea before showing a faint smile.“If he can’t even keep an important guest like me alive…“How is Aenar Temple supposed to survive in the future?”Nanako Kawashima smiled after hearing those words.“You really are competent, Asher!“Your intelligence knows no bounds!“I believe with the Kawashima family’s support…“The outskirts will definitely become one of the Island Nation
Billie Higgs hung up the call before seeming a little down.Whitley Cobb leaned on the chair in a dress. It was an alluring sight.Her long legs, covered by a pair of stockings, were quite seductive under the dim lights.Billie frowned while looking at her mother’s beautiful face.“Why did you ask me to call him in the first place, Mom?”Whitley swirled her glass of wine around.“There’s something you must know! I just got word…“Your fiance’s in great trouble!“Eve Clubhouse is burned to the ground and Romina’s nowhere to be found!“The Klein family announced that Asher has nothing to do with them!“Don’t you know what this means?”Billie was stunned.“What?”“Harvey might just be from the legendary York family!“Only people from that family would be this powerful!“Not only did he raze the Klein family’s clubhouse to the ground, he even made them cast away one of their powerful figures!”Billie frowned.“If that were the case, shouldn’t we distance ourselves from Ash
Whitley Cobb showed an arrogant look.She misjudged Harvey York’s character before…However, the Higgs family did him a huge favor. The arranged marriage between him and Billie Higgs was also legit.Since that was the case, so what if she fought for the opportunity?Was he just going to cling to Harlan Higgs for the rest of his life?In Whitley’s eyes, if Harvey was really the young master of the York family making a comeback…She would even give her own body to him, let alone her daughter!After all, the family needed to share the responsibility!“Even the Wolven Tribe and the four great tribes look up to the ancient family!“The three great temples also have no choice but to pay their respects!“Oh, Billie! As long as we can confirm Harvey’s identity…“We’ll become top-rated figures of the outskirts in the near future!”Whitley put all of her grievances of marrying the wrong person into Billie at this very moment.She believed this was the only way to fulfill her dreams.
The security guard ahead quickly changed his expression.“I don’t know who you’re looking for!“But we will never sell out…”Crack!Romina Klein stepped forward before instantly breaking the security guard’s leg.The security guard was trembling in pain when he finally spoke.“They’re in the main hall!“They’re all praying in the main hall…”Then, Romina glanced at Harvey York.“The Mandrake Residence’s main hall is a shrine. I’m afraid…”Harvey calmly walked forward with his arms crossed.He did not care if he was facing against God.Let alone causing trouble in a mere shrine…-Inside the main hall.A faint scent wafted throughout the hazy place, immediately invigorating the people inside.Every corner was decorated with items that were bright yellow.Hundreds of futons were placed inside the shrine.Then again, nobody was praying just yet. The ceremony had yet to start.Those people were formed into smaller groups, happily chatting with each other. No matter the p
The people present were showing odd gazes.‘Don’t these people know what this place is?’‘Besides, this is Aryan Augustus’ main stage! He’s an impressive monk of today’s generation!’‘Not only are they being extremely disrespectful, but they’re just looking for their deaths at this point!’Before the crowd was even done talking, Romina Klein waved her hand before her sacrificial soldiers came forward.The soldiers raised their firearms before pointing them at the crowd, completely ignoring the occasion they were in.No matter how calm and collected the wealthy people were, they still screamed in fear while stumbling back.They looked horrible, as if dealing with actual bandits on the outskirts.Asher Klein’s expression instantly darkened when he saw Harvey York and his entourage.“Harvey?!“Romina?!”Asher did not expect Romina to be on Harvey’s side and that he would cause trouble here ruthlessly.He was dead set on going up against anyone who came his way.But this was t
