"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
"Fool! How dare you touch me! You'll die for your insolence!" Geoffrey suddenly laughed viciously as his figure suddenly pounced toward where Harvey was standing as he spoke in the language from the Island Nation.Bang!Harvey did not bother wasting his breath and immediately slammed his palm into Geoffrey's face. The slap was powerful. While it looked like a simple attack, it was enough to throw him to the ground directly.Geoffrey still wanted to try to get up as his eyes were turning white, but Harvey immediately kicked his face, and Geoffrey immediately fainted on the ground.Sol and Lune could not help but squint their eyes.Harvey ignored them both and simply dripped a drop of blood on Geoffrey's forehead after he bit his finger. Geoffrey's body started to shudder. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer red, and the black miasma around him had disappeared. However, the slap and kick mark was still on his face. The intense pain made someone as ex
Harvey nodded. "You're as wise as they say, Mr. Geoffrey."Geoffrey smiled bitterly and asked, "Since you can see what's happening to me, can you answer my question then? Is there a way to solve this?""There is," Harvey answered with a nod. "It depends on whether you want to suppress or solve the issue. Of course, this will totally be up to you, though."There was a glint of hope in Geoffrey's eyes. "Can you explain what will happen in both options?"Then, Harvey explained, "If you simply want to suppress it, it's simple. All you need to do is to recite the scriptures every day. With your power and mental acuity, it won't be hard to suppress the inner demon. But you'll need to pay attention to the fact that you can't fight with anyone ever again. If you do and it triggers your old injury, the inner demon that you suppressed will reign free.""Can never fight anymore…" Geoffrey gave it a thought before asking. "What about solving it?""When I mention about solving it, I'm referri
With the matter with Geoffrey temporarily solved, Harvey returned to his estate. He and Mandy talked about everything in the past few days when she was around. It was harmonious, and Harvey could have a few days' worth of rest.But now, the entire estate felt empty, and Harvey thought it was too quiet. He sighed and decided to change his focus to something else. He began to work on the coil of Six-Paths Fragrance.Earlier, he did not understand what was wrong with the Six-Paths Fragrance. But now, after discovering that Geoffrey had an inner demon, Harvey could start making a hypothesis.To others, the Six-Paths Fragrance was a good thing. But to Geoffrey, it might as well be poison. The kind of poison that could make the inner demon grow.Logically speaking, only someone from Sky Plane would know what kind of curse Geoffrey was cursed with. How did Servitas know about that? Could it be that the Islanders had already infiltrated Grand City? Or perhaps, Ellena was a spy for the Isla
