Geoffrey fell silent. With a final smile at Harvey, he left with his men. Only once Geoffrey was completely gone did Harvey return to his estate.He drank the tea Mandy had brewed for him just before he left. The temperature was just nice. Giving it a sip, he could taste the fragrance budding in his mouth.Meanwhile, Mandy had already fallen asleep on the lounge chair out of boredom next to the coffee table. Seeing this, Harvey was a little stunned. Wasn't this the normal life he had been wanting after he retired all those years ago?After a moment of silence, Harvey took a blanket. He had just wanted to put it on Mandy when she woke up from her nap. She turned and looked at him, then smiled. "You're back? I've ordered some takeout earlier and we can heat them in the microwave. We'll just eat something simple. Is that alright?""Sure," Havey agreed. He helped Mandy clean up the dining table. While it was a simple meal, it was the most comforting he had eaten in the past few y
Samuel narrowed his eyes and smiled as he listened to Harvey. "Your business is beyond me. It might be good if you really want to go to Grand City. Anyway, I'm here for something else. I heard when Geoffrey came looking for you last night, the people from Sky Plane came over too?"Harvey nodded. "Yeah."Samuel went on calmly, "Harvey. In your view, what's the chance of this being a coincidence?"Harvey frowned. "Are you saying that it's not a coincidence for them to be here? That someone wanted to use Sky Plane to kill me?"Samuel sighed. "That depends if the perpetrator knows your true identity or not. If he did, then what was his true goal in using Sky Plane to kill you? If he didn't and simply wanted to kill you for what happened at the Forbidden Wasteland not long ago, then from a certain angle, it's quite disgusting. I'm quite speechless that a powerful entity like Grand City would do that."Samuel's seemingly casual banter carried a hint of seriousness."No matter what ha
After Harvey and Samuel finished talking, Harvey didn't ask Samuel to stay for dinner. Instead, Samuel took Harvey to the Dragon Gate's branch in Wolsing.The branch was built with a classical look in mind. While it wasn't that big, one could see that every spot had been meticulously crafted. However, Samuel didn't take Harvey to visit every place in detail. Instead, he took Harvey deep into the branch's restricted area.Deep within the branch's restricted area was a small building. It was forged from steel, and it was something that would be difficult through force. When they reached the stairs, Samuel didn't walk forward. He simply extended his hand, indicating to Harvey to go first.Harvey gave him a strange look but still entered the building.Very quickly, they arrived at the top spot. It was about 500 square feet and was quite spacious. Aside from a bed deep, there was a simple desk. And before that desk sat Lanny, who was playing chess by herself.The woman who used to be
When Lanny heard the word "pick-up girl", she couldn't help but smile bitterly. "There's something I need to inform you first. Not long ago, I've already been removed from White Peak's registrar. Dan also sent someone to inform me that from now on, we walk separate paths. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."As for what happened to the Forbidden Wasteland, I'll have to bear sole responsibility, especially about the fact that I accepted the wager. I will have to bear responsibility for all of Grand City's losses. In other words, I was abandoned. Perhaps, once I fell asleep tonight, I would never be able to wake up. "I've revealed all of this to you… Now, you should believe me that the reason I'm looking for you is not to waste your time, right?"Harvey raised his eyebrow. He knew that Grand City might abandon Lanny, but he didn't expect them to do it so decisively. Lanny was basically a persona non grata now.Of course, this was the best choice for Grand City. Not only
Harvey left the building a few minutes later, his hands behind his back. As he was leaving, Lanny stared at him with narrowed her eyes. After he left, Samuel appeared in front of her in the building."So?" he asked curiously. "Did you achieve your goal after I let you meet Harvey? Do you think you can use him for your revenge? Do you think you can make Dan regret the fact he abandoned you?"He then picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip as he continued casually, "Unfortunately, even I can't use someone like Harvey. Do you think a prisoner like you can use him after meeting him just once?"Lanny glanced at him. "You wanted to use Harvey to cause chaos in Grand City too, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me see him. But… After seeing him, I believe both you and I will be disappointed."Samuel looked at her, curious. "Why did you say that?""You want to use Harvey to drag Grand City down from its throne. I want to use Harvey to make my vengeance a reality.
While Samuel was playing his game with Lanny, Harvey arrived at an estate deep within Fragrant Hill of Wolsing. The cab had just disappeared into the distance when men clad in martial arts robes surrounded him. He hadn't done anything yet.The men all looked quite ordinary, but they all had swords by their waist and wielded crossbows. With their temples being so prominent, it was obvious they were elites in the martial arts world.From another angle, this could explain the status of the person who was inside. Who could afford such an arrangement with so many martial arts elites?A bald man gave Harvey a look before asking coldly, "Who are you?""Your master," Harvey smiled softly.When the bald man's expression turned sour, Harvey took out a badge and showed it to him. "Please inform Mr. Geoffrey that the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey York, is here to visit him. Oh, right. As the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, I'm also the Grand City's mayor
Harvey looked at that woman and realized that she was much more than what she was presenting herself as. Of course, he would find out in time whether this was genuine or not."How dare you appear in our estate, Harvey!" Neve finally noticed Harvey. She was once again filled with anger and sorrow. "Not only did you kill my fiance, but you even hurt me! Now that you're here, I'll kill you! Let's go, everyone! Kill him! If Grandpa wants to punish you, I'll protect you! I'll trade my life for his if I have to!"Neve quickly pulled out a gun from under the coffee table's drawer and disengaged the gun's safety, as if she was going to kill Harvey herself.Harvey looked at her calmly, silent. "Enough!" Before Neve could even pull the trigger, Geoffrey cut her off. "During the trial in the Forbidden Wasteland, the representative's innocence had already been proven. Not to mention, he even saved me a few days ago. No matter the misunderstandings or the grudge between us, they're all s
However, no matter how unwilling she was, Neve didn't have much of a choice. She bit her lip, poured a cup of coffee, and offered it to Harvey, and said loudly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Representative! I apologize for what I did just now."Harvey didn't even raise his eyes nor did he accept the coffee. He simply said, "I can forgive you one last time for Geoffrey's sake, but I hope this is the last time. We both know Durandal's death had nothing to do with me. If I hear anyone using this as an excuse to start a fight with me again, I don't mind sending them to hell."Harvey's words were calm, but his tone was steel. If Neve continued to make things up again, he wouldn't show any mercy.Geoffrey gave Harvey a deep look. It was obvious that Harvey's attitude wasn't meant for just the Foster family, but also for the entire Grand City. Those who dare to cross him should prepare themselves."Alright. Remember what the representative has to say. In the future, remember to watch what you say and d
