Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
According to Geoffrey, Vaida's condition was precarious. While no one was targeting her, she might jump into the sea on her own again at some unspecified time.A condition like that was very difficult to deal with. No matter what was torturing Vaida, Harvey believed that it might not be within his power to help her."Have you realized that Vaida seemed to be opening herself up to you in the final moments? She even fell into your arms," Geoffrey remembered something else. "Do you think her condition would improve if we simply continued with this? Of course, I know you're in love with someone else, so I am not imposing on you. But can you please stay with her as much as possible while she's in Grand City? This might stabilize her emotional state."Neve also nodded continuously. She could tell that Vaida's condition was severe and complicated. If Harvey refused to help, she might attempt to jump into the ocean again as soon as she woke up.Harvey was speechless and heaved a sigh. "You
Harvey suddenly remembered something when he saw Vaida returning to her deep sleep. "I heard that Grand City doesn't have a mayor right now. Then, what's going on with the previous mayor?"Geoffrey sighed and answered, "After the Hierophant prophesied Vaida as the third incarnation of Grand City's progenitor, he had left Grand City to find a way to deal with this. A decade… He's gone for a decade, and no one has seen him since then. That's why everyone believes he's already dead. That's why the seven families agree that Grand City has no mayor right now."Harvey frowned. "Then, what about Dan?"Then Geoffrey replied, "Dan is the mayor's final disciple. But the old mayor had only taught him for less than a year before leaving Grand City. According to the city's rules, if Vaida is killed, Dan will become the leader of the Belladonna Cult. And he will also naturally become the mayor of Grand City."Harvey nodded. He had learned some more things. Vaida was indeed part of the Belladonna
"Kill him? Why should I?' Dan pulled out a long cigar and lit it up. After a huff, he puffed out a ring of smoke. "I've just received news that Vaida has gone crazy, and she's sure that Harvey was the man of her destiny. That way, once he leaves Grand City, she would die of depression or kill herself. Looks like I can become the mayor soon. The Hierophant didn't lie to me…"-There was no difference between the day-and-night cycles within Grand City and the world outside. When the sun finally set, Grand City was lit brightly, enticing everyone to enter.Harvey, who had been trying to send a sliver of his energy into Vaida, walked out of the room. There was a hint of fatigue on his face. He thought that it would be ineffective to do that. But he did not know why, after sending in his energy, Vaida managed to recover somewhat.Other than still being somewhat unstable and sure that Harvey was her man of destiny, she was slowly regaining control. Harvey felt a bit strange, but all he c
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
Harvey was stunned. What was going on? The childhood friend was out here too? Harvey stared intently at the man with the machete, who looked around 23 or 24. He was at least around 200 pounds, and he looked like an explosive keg. While he held a machete, his face was a strange, pallid color.With just one look, Harvey was sure that had severe internal injuries and didn't manage to recover. Harvey glanced at the Beads of Eye he was carrying on his chest, finding it strange."Come out, Harvey! Face me if you're a man!" roared the man, looking like he was going to explode at any time. The moment he saw Harvey, who was on his way to go on a walk, he instantly stormed forward and raised his machete.He roared at Harvey, "You're that idiot Harvey, right? Tell me, how did you lie to Vaida? She's my goddess! You can't just get close to her whenever you want!"Harvey looked at him curiously. "Why don't you tell me who you are?""Who am I?" The angry man waved his machete. "I'm the olde
