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

Rhdoes quickly let go. Harvey squinted at the door, ignoring what had just happened.A man in an off-white robe walked in; he had a chubby appearance, with a powerful aura. Those who knew him recognized him as the manager of the vegetarian restaurant, Vanny Augustus. He was also one of Stefan’s trusted subordinates.Vanny stepped in, his arms crossed; before Julie could say a word, Miley hurriedly stepped forward.“Something wrong, Vanny?” she asked.Vanny glanced at Miley with a profound expression.“I’m sorry, Maiden Julie,” he said with a smile. “Mr. Stefan uses this room. The staff didn’t know, and they brought you here instead.“He’s on his way here to have a meal after his evening lesson.“I’ll have to move everyone here to a different room. Of course, as an apology, the meal is free of charge.”Vanny was showing a determined expression when saying those words.Julie was the Kronen Temple’s Maiden…but the relationship between the three great temples was mediocre at m

Julie’s face worsened instantly.“We’re only here to have a chat and a midnight snack, Julie. It doesn’t matter where we have it anyway,” Mandy said with a smile.“Since this is where Mr. Stefan eats, let’s just let him have it. Is it fine if we get another room instead, Vanny?”Vanny, smiling, was just about to speak up. But Rhodes, who had been looking for a moment to shine, took a step forward first.“You must be mistaken, Mandy. The three great temples are powerful in the outskirts, but they’re nothing to the top ten families.“I know you’re kind and approachable, and you think it’s fine just to hand over the room…“But the others wouldn’t think that way. If we actually do that, they’d think of the top ten families as pushovers.“We need to have strength of character.“I usually don’t like to bring my identity out like this, but I don’t think I have a choice right now. Don’t worry, Julie; with me here, you won’t be wronged.”Julie seemed pleased to hear Rhodes’ words.A f

Stefan looked at everyone with a deep gaze. Then, he nodded and led the group to a different room.“I’ll remember this, Mr. Stefan,” Rhodes said, crossing his arms. “If there’s anything you need in the future, let me know. I’ll do everything in my power to help you.”Stefan paused for a brief moment before leaving. The beautiful women were ecstatic after seeing what had just happened.“That’s impressive, Young Master Rhodes!“That was the legendary Stefan Augustus and Takai Kawashima, one of the grandmasters from the Island Nations!“Those two are no ordinary people!“And yet, Master Takai still greeted you like that! That’s just…“Young Master Rhodes, you’re the only one here with such a powerful reputation!”At this very moment, the women were on the verge of kneeling in front of Rhodes.Only Miley knew the truth; she scoffed quietly after seeing Harvey’s calm expression. Considering the circumstances, she would never make anything clear.She could tell that something was

Having said that, Julie looked at Harvey meaningfully.She believed that a kept man like him was unworthy to be with Mandy, but she had no choice but to accept it. After all, this was Mandy’s decision.“You’re Harvey York, right?”Julie approached Harvey, and adjusted his collar.“I’ll let you off the hook since Mandy said so,” she said, her tone considerate yet prideful.“But, I will chase you down if anything even happens to her. If she loses even a strand of hair, I’ll cut off your arm!”Harvey slapped Julie’s hand away.“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that she’s safe.“As for you, you should stop sleeping with so many men. The more partners you have, the less pure your energy is. If this keeps up, your energy might just implode.”“What did you say, you bastard?!”Julie’s face darkened instantly.“I’m a Maiden! I would never sleep with anyone! How dare you slander me like that! How are you going to take responsibility for this?!”“You should know full well if this is slande

As she spoke, Julie pulled everyone to their seats. However, she didn’t get one for Harvey, as if she wanted him to leave.Mandy wanted to introduce Harvey to the rest, but there was simply no hope for that at this point. If she did, a huge fight would surely break out.She looked helplessly at Harvey, signaling for him to stop causing trouble and go outside.-At the same time, an armed helicopter landed at the border hundreds of miles away from the outskirts.“There’s still less than a mile before we reach Country H’s border.“We’ll be fine here, but the Border Force will take action if we keep getting closer!“We have no choice but to put you down here!”The pilot looked respectfully at a Western man, who was crossing his legs.The man was bald, and his face was covered with tattoos. He exuded a harsh aura; despite the fierce wind, he was wearing no seatbelts. “No need.”The bald man squinted outside the window, as if he could see the outskirts clearly.“You should go b
