Colby Thompson squinted.“That’s all we needed to know. At least we didn’t waste our time coming here.“It’s rare for the top ten families to work together. It’d be bad if we leave empty-handed, right?”Mandy Zimmer and Rhodes Wright were showing horrible expressions.The people behind them also looked gloomy.Almost at the same time, sounds of car engines were heard before a few dark green Toyota Prados were parked.The car doors opened before Conrad Surrey strode out with a huge group behind him.“Hey, everyone…” he said with a smile.“I slapped a few inspectors around since they kept yapping while I was doing paperwork. I wasted some time because of that.“Sorry about that!“If it weren’t for Young Master Rhodes’ documents, I wouldn’t have been out of here!“Truly a reliable person!“Well? Don’t you think that the outskirts is special?“A battleground since ancient times!“It’s been years since the place has seen war, but plenty of historical sites are around!“If any

“I’ll pass,” said Mandy Zimmer while glaring coldly.After stumbling around in the business world, she was no longer the naive girl who did not know anything.She knew the men were up to no good. That was why she wanted out.“I have someone to meet tonight.”“Sure. We’ll see each other tomorrow then.”Colby Thompson did not give much thought to the situation. After briefly locking eyes with Rhodes Wright, he left with Conrad Surrey and the others.Only two people stayed behind.Mandy glanced at Rhodes, who was standing beside her.“You’re not joining them to relax?”“I’m good.Rhodes pushed his golden-rimmed glasses.“I like quiet places. A scene like that doesn’t suit me.“If you have nothing to do, why don’t we get some coffee?”Rhodes glanced at the Starbucks at the side of the main hall.Mandy looked at her watch.“Sure.“I’m meeting with two other people later though.“One of them is Julie Augustus, the Maiden of Kronen Temple.“The other one’s Harvey York, the m

Mandy Zimmer sat in the main seat. She wore a dress without any makeup, with her beautiful hair slicked to the back, showing her gorgeous face and a smile that Harvey York had been completely hooked on.A woman in her twenties was sitting opposite Mandy.She had an elegant face with an ethereal feeling to her.She also had a precious mole in between her brows.Harvey could instantly tell the woman was probably a prominent figure from a sect.He had thought of a person in mind, but he did not mention it either.Other than the woman, a familiar face was around the same table.Miley Surrey!Stefan Augustus’s woman and the Surrey family’s fourth lady seemed like a companion pouring tea for Mandy and the other woman. The sight was enough to tell that the woman had quite an immense identity.“Maiden Julie, Harvey’s here,” said the suited woman after bringing Harvey in.Mandy smiled after seeing Harvey.“Harvey.”Naturally, she could not hold herself back anymore after seeing Harv

The beautiful women giggled after hearing Mandy Zimmer’s words.They showed profound expressions when looking at Harvey York, thinking he had other talents.If not, the lady of one of the top ten families would not immediately summon him after arriving in the outskirts.Miley Surrey would not explain anything in Harvey’s stead either.Julie Augustus squinted while sizing up Harvey with her cup in hand.“I know you’ve been living your past three years alone. I also know that your filth of a husband never laid a finger on you.“Just bring the man along if he satisfies you…“But make sure that’s the only case.“No need to put too much mind into it.“We’re going to do big things soon. There’s going to be a lot of trouble. Other than pulling ourselves down, what else can he do?“If it were up to me, I’d give him some money so he can stay away.“If you don’t like the people of Kronen Temple protecting you…“I can introduce you to someone else.“I guarantee you that he can protec

“Let me explain to you the accomplishments of this man.“After having achievements in Kronen Temple, the first thing he did was single-handedly break our Mokujin Formation!“Then, he reached the border before slaughtering eighteen traitors of Kronen Temple!“He even dueled Stefan and tied.“It’s said that Stefan believed him to become the next Great Wall if he kept honing his skills.“It’s a shame that he isn’t interested in martial arts.“He only trained for self-preservation.“He loves delving into ancient ruins, searching for the secrets of the sects hidden from the world!“I wouldn’t have recommended him to Mandy if I could find a better person to be her bodyguard.“Rhodes initially declined to do this…“But he said that it was fate for him to be asked to protect Mandy and that it was a small world…“And since he’s also a business partner of Mandy, he was willing to accept the job.“He didn’t want anything in return either…“As long as Mandy treated him to a meal.”Th

Julie Augustus glanced at Harvey York.“It’s not that I want to criticize you…“But Mandy, your kept man just looks so weak.”Mandy Zimmer was at a loss for words.“Harvey’s an expert too. He’s also my…”“Expert?Julie would no longer listen to Mandy.“Now that’s a stretch, Mandy.“Look at his skinny limbs! Do you call that an expert?“A true expert doesn’t even look like that!“And did you forget? All martial arts originated from sects!“Kronen Temple has authentic teachings!“My junior is a mighty man compared to people from your generation!“More importantly, he isn’t all brawn either!“With him around to protect and make arrangements for you, maybe even be your boyfriend if you’d like…“Isn’t that just great?!”Julie showed Harvey an even more disdainful glare.The other women kept nodding, believing they would never be presented with this opportunity.If that were not the case, they would do anything in their power to grab it.After all, a Prince Charming like R

“You should’ve told me about your situation, Mandy.Rhodes Wright cracked a smile.“If it weren’t for Julie, I wouldn’t have known that you had no one to support you!“Don’t worry. From now on, not only am I your business partner, but I’m also your personal bodyguard!“For your safety, I’ll be around you twenty-four-seven!Rhodes seemed a little shy.“I don’t mean anything else. I’m doing this for your safety, Ms. Zimmer!”Julie Augustus gave a chuckle.“Don’t hold back with my junior, Mandy!“He’s a little stubborn!“He won’t go back on his word after making a decision!“He’ll keep you safe for sure!”The other women started to feel jealous after hearing Julie’s advice.After all, Rhodes was still a part of the main lineage despite not being the successor of the Wright family.Marrying him, or maybe just a one-night stand with him would also be extremely beneficial!Mandy Zimmer felt speechless. She frowned without knowing how to decline Rhodes.After seeing Mandy in a

What would even happen for a kept man like Harvey to lose a hand?Prominent figures like Rhodes didn’t need to care about that. To him, Harvey should pay the price for ruining his plans.Julie understood her junior the best; she knew this discreet man had always been prideful. He’d never let those who tried to ruin his plans get off that easily.The other women were thinking of every possible scenario that would happen; they couldn’t understand the gravity of the situation at all.Their faces had nothing but glee.‘How dare he go against a prominent figure like Rhodes?! He’d definitely suffer!’ they thought.“Heh!”Rhodes chuckled; he applied more force on his hand, but then he realized that Harvey’s expression didn’t change at all.“You’re right about that, Young Master Rhodes,” Harvey said casually.“I’m a bodyguard, not a kept man.“If I want to do my job, I need to have actual training instead of just being a show-off. “Since Mandy hired me, it’s only natural that I hav
