“Do you know martial arts?“If you’re going to show off, then at least learn something for a few years first!“Weak-looking people like you piss me off! You understand me?!”The woman scoffed at Harvey, treating him like a crazy show-off.Harvey couldn’t help but roll his eyes. If he didn’t know martial arts, then nobody would.The woman’s practice wasn’t all that impressive anyway. That was why Harvey sighed.He didn’t have any intention of arguing with the woman. He didn’t want to expose his identity because of this, either.“Sorry, but I really don’t know martial arts. I wasn’t sighing because of you, either. I couldn’t help myself after thinking about my old friend. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”The woman frowned. “If you don’t know anything, step aside already! You better not show up here again! If you do…”“Get back here, Aria,” the elderly man said after coughing.“He didn’t mean it. He apologized, too. Stop being so aggressive already. I told you, a bad temper i
“What’s the point of pretending now?”Aria scoffed; she didn’t believe Harvey at all. She waved her hand, and the fierce man stepped in front of Harvey. Judging from his bulging waist, he was clearly holding a firearm. If anything were to go wrong, he wouldn’t hesitate to take action.The elderly man smiled when he saw Harvey keeping silent.“Let me introduce myself. My name is Lennon Surrey. This is my granddaughter, Aria.“The Eight Extremes that we practice is a little different from the rest.“You’re clearly no ordinary man. Since you could tell that there’s something wrong with my granddaughter’s practice, why not tell her?”Lennon spoke in a polite manner, as if he actually wanted Harvey’s pointers. However, his tone was laced with pride. Everyone here would have no choice but to pay their respect after recognizing the Surrey name. However, this young man in front of Lennon didn’t seem to care, as if he didn’t know him.It was only natural, since Harvey didn’t come fro
The fierce man froze, his hand stopping on the firearm.He had been fighting with Lennon in the outskirts for many years… This was his first time seeing someone as powerful as Harvey.He thought that matter how impressive a person’s martial arts were, he or she wouldn’t be able to go against firearms. Now, he finally understood; in front of true power, firearms meant absolutely nothing.He wouldn’t get the chance to pull the trigger before being taken out.Harvey ignored everyone’s change in expression. “It’s just a small trick. It’s not worth the praise. I can leave now, right?”He was the Head Coach, who had already brought up a few Gods of War. He wouldn’t be flattered by someone was praising his rise as a God of War, anyway.To Lennon, Harvey’s calm expression was no different from the look of a master.“This might be a small trick for you…but for us, this is simply extraordinary!” he exclaimed sternly.Lennon wouldn’t dare talk down on Harvey anymore. The outskirts were hu
Lennon shook after hearing Harvey’s words.“You can tell?! This is my biggest secret. Nobody in the family knows!”Lennon was truly shocked. To prevent his family from worrying—to prevent the word from spreading… He only told them that he kept coughing because of a lung disease.Only he knew that wasn’t the case at all.Aria was surprised to hear that as well.“Even big hospitals in Wolsing couldn’t treat my grandfather. They say it’s difficult… And now, you’re saying that it’s not that big of a problem?”Aria seemed hopeful.“Is there a way for you to treat my grandfather?”Aria would definitely not believe Harvey if he didn’t show his prowess… After seeing such a spectacular performance, she naturally trusted him.Without Lennon’s help, the entire Surrey family would be in utter chaos, especially with all the trouble surrounding them.This was why Aria, a mere university student, practiced the Eight Extremes. She wanted to relieve her grandfather of his worries. If she ha
Harvey nodded, and was about to leave.Lennon was reminded of something. He quickly pulled out his name card.“Here’s my number. You can call me anytime,” he said, respectfully giving Harvey the card.“Another thing. My bodyguard’s pretty impressive. You can ask him to take you anywhere you want. If you get in trouble, you can get him to deal with it as well. He’ll represent the Surrey family when he’s outside.”“Of course,” Harvey replied. He didn’t mind any of this at all.Lennon wanted his bodyguard to keep Harvey safe at all times, but he probably had ulterior motives as well. Harvey wasn’t bothered by it.The bodyguard had dark skin, and was called Wildcat. After receiving the order, he began following Harvey with great respect.Harvey was tired, so he requested Wildcat to send him home.Wildcat drove a Toyota Prado with a luxurious interior.Harvey took a few glances, and saw layer after layer of bulletproof glass on the car. Seeing the custom-ordered car, it was clear j
“What’s the matter, Billie? Someone coming to check in on you?”In the most bustling part of Sterling City, Billie, clad in luxurious brands from head to toe, put her phone down helplessly.Beside her, a petite baby-faced woman spoke up with a curious expression. She was Billie’s university mate, Aliza Howell. Other than Aliza, there was a tall woman with a cold expression and pronounced chest, Judith Pedler.The two were good friends of Billie’s. They were here to attend the welcoming party as well.It was considered a welcoming party, but in truth, it was a gathering of the Oaklands University’s next generation. The gathering would determine the most outstanding ones from the freshmen.Billie scrolled past her phone helplessly.“You two don’t know about this… My dad found a random man, and said he arranged a marriage between me and that guy when we were little.“My mom and I don’t even like him, but my dad just keeps pushing us together!”“An arranged marriage? Since you were
Half an hour later, Harvey showed up at Sterling City.Sterling City was where the rich would spend their money. Ordinary people had no right to enter. Even if they did, they’d be completely out of place.Despite Sterling City being a big place, there weren’t a lot of people inside.Out of everyone there, Billie had quite the attention on her. She and her friends were beautiful, dressed in luxurious brands and caked with gorgeous makeup.Anyone could tell that the three were top-rated ladies at first glance.“Billie.”After seeing the three, Harvey came over to greet Billie. He was used to wearing simple clothing, so he seemed completely out of place compared to the overdressed women.“Mmm.”Billie casually glanced at Harvey before replying in a stiff tone.The air tensed up instantly. Behind Billie, Aliza and Judith were glaring at Harvey with cold and judgmental eyes.“You’re Harvey?” Aliza said with her arms crossed, taking a step forward.She looked like princess, glarin
“Winston! You’re finally here!“I’ve been waiting for you!”Aliza Howell, who had only been cold toward Harvey York, instantly wrapped her hands around the man’s arm sheepishly.“Billie, Judith…”Winston Osborne looked mischievous when he greeted the two while wrapping his arm around Aliza’s waist. At the same time, he sized up the other two with greedy eyes.The three looked quite similar, but Aliza was still the worst compared to the other goddesses.Winston only went for Aliza since he could not get together with Billie Higgs or Judith Pedler.After briefly staring at the two, he showed a weird expression when he finally noticed Harvey.“And you are…?”Everyone around was either dressed in haute couture or trendy brands.Their outfit was worth an entire year’s salary of an ordinary person.Then again, Harvey was the only one wearing brands from cheap stores. He looked like a janitor when he stood beside the others.He simply stuck out like a sore thumb.“This is the per
