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
Harvey didn't feel embarrassed at all when he saw how the woman was treating him. He simply smiled and pulled his hand back with a calm expression. When Ellena saw how there weren't many changes in Harvey's expression, she snorted coldly. She was secretly disdainful of Harvey.She turned her attention to Geoffrey. There was a shock in her eyes. "Mr. Geoffrey, now that I give you a better look, why am I seeing that you're not as healthy as before? Your lungs seemed to have deteriorated somewhat, too. Did you get enough rest lately?"Geoffrey smiled. "It's the same old disease. Your teacher knows this and we don't have any better way to cure it for now. Either way, thank you for asking about it."Ellena was a little hesitant but after taking a deep breath, she said, "Let's see… I only have one Six-Paths Fragrance with me this time. It's not a lot, but if you burn it, it can help you calm down a lot more. If you have enough rest, some of the minor illnesses will disappear as well. I'
"Poisonous?!" Before Geoffrey could say anything, Ellena's expression darkened as her brows knit together. "You should watch your mouth! How could anything from Servitas be poisonous?"Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked at Ellena. "I'm not making things up. This Six-Paths Fragrance is indeed poisonous. Or maybe it's more accurate to say that the ingredients used are wrong.""Wrong?" Ellena's expression grew colder, and there was anger in her eyes. "Maybe you didn't know this, Harvey, but the most important ingredient in the Six-Paths Fragrance is the legendary Snow Rose. Normally, this plant only grows on snow-capped mountains at an altitude of miles above sea level. While the Snow Rose from Servitas isn't harvested from the wild, it's still something we've cultivated through generations."While they might not be as effective as the Snow Roses from the wilds, their efficacy wouldn't be much worse. Not to mention, this wasn't the first time Mr. Geoffrey had used this. He has already
"Harvey, do you even know what you're talking about right now?!" Ellena's expression became darker. "Can you bear full responsibility if you stop Mr. Geoffrey from using this valuable fragrance and it causes his condition to worsen…or his death? For you to suspect us like this, do you think we're aiming for his life?"Not only are you doubting Servitas's reputation, but you're aiming to destroy our relationship with Mr. Geoffrey! Do you know the consequences of what you're doing? If our reputation is damaged because of you, I'm going to put you fully responsible for this!" Ellena's face turned more and more livid."Mr. Geoffrey, I suggest you simply break this scoundrel's arms and legs and throw him outside! You'll only hurt yourself if you leave someone like him by your side. I'm now suspecting that he uses his status as the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance to try and ruin the relationships of the families within Grand City. Only then would he be able to get some pr
"Grandpa!" Neve was livid, and spoke up before Ellena could say anything."Grandpa, we have a great relationship with Servitas for years! Why did you choose to believe Harvey instead of Servitas? It's clear he has bad intentions! He's obviously trying to destroy the relationship between Universal Sect and Servitas! I'd rather believe in a dog than him!" Neve was so angry, she wished she could kill Harvey immediately.Before Harvey's appearance, the Foster family didn't face any hardship at all. But the moment he appeared, not only did she lose her fiance, but even her grandfather chose to believe him. She didn't even know what to say right now.Geoffrey's expression remained icy. "Stop wasting your breath. I know how to choose. If it's confirmed that I have made an error of judgment and was mistaken, I'll personally apologize to the leader of Servitas."Neve's face went pale when she heard that. Ellena stood up coldly, a dark expression on her face. "I understand. I'm jus
Harvey couldn't help but nod at Geoffrey's explanation. "You really are something, Me. Geoffrey. Normally, someone with your status at your age wouldn't say it out loud, no matter how much they fear death. But you did, and you're doing what you think is best consistently too. Indeed, one can never be careful."Geoffrey smiled. "I'm normally cautious, but I wasn't as careful as this. After you saved me from the ambush, I told myself that I had to be even more careful. You won't be there to save me every time."Harvey shook his head. "I didn't do it intentionally, so you don't have to take it to heart."Geoffrey sighed. "And here I was worried that you'll think I already know about Sky Plane, and want to use them to kill you. I was thinking of a way to explain this to you. But from the looks of it, I'm being overly cynical about your motive."Harvey was stunned. It was obvious that he didn't expect Geoffrey would talk about this right in the open."What? Are you surprised? Do you
"Among the seven families, while the Universal Sect wasn't the most powerful, they had the most influence. Many of the old generation deem him their leader, especially after the Island Nation's invasion. While many of the younger generations in Universal Sect are on your side, Geoffrey has never openly supported anyone."Him showing no support will definitely affect the other old geezers! That's why it's best for you when Neve can inherit the influence. Unfortunately, our plan failed. Not only did it fail, it'll be almost impossible to kill the old geezer now," Ellena sighed.The man opposite remained quiet for a long time before finally saying, "It's fine if Universal Sect doesn't show their support. But we can't let Mr. Geoffrey keep his influence. A lot of people owe him one, but not Universal Sect. If he's gone, then perhaps we'll have an easier time handling things."When Ellena heard about it, she hummed momentarily before saying, "I understand."-Just as Ellena was making
