“There's the loser!” Valencia pointed at Harvey who had just come out of the store.

Harvey came out holding his cell phone to his ear. He walked slowly and calmly. Being so focused, he didn't really care about the trivial things around him. He finally stops when Whitley and Valencia stand in front of Harvey with their arrogance.

The two women look down on Harvey and fold their arms across their chest. Harvey hangs up the phone.

Whitley clucked. “What cheap tricks do you use to fool the people at the store? You're always up to something annoying.”

Being forcibly evicted by the most elite jewelry store had certainly hurt Whitley's pride as well as Valencia's. What would the world say if everyone knew that they were expelled from here? Of course they would lose face. Therefore, they deliberately wait for Harvey outside to restore their pride and prove that Harvey can't do things as he pleases. Whitley and Valencia were going to show Harvey who was boss.

Valencia raised one eyebrow. “Did you do it to get back with Whitley?”

Whitley spat under her breath. She wanted to picture how humiliated she would be if what Valencia said actually happened. “I don't want to imagine it. It wouldn't happen even in a dream. Besides, I have a better man now. Andreas Brown is the perfect man for me.”

Valencia smiled lightly at Harvey. “Andreas Brown. Ah... there's no way you can beat him, Harvey. You don't stand a chance.”

Whitley smiled dismissively. “Huh? Even Andreas's big toe is worth more than this loser. Andreas is a really great guy. He has a big company, a prominent family, and a handsome face, too.”

Whitley glanced at Harvey. “Huh, look at you, Harvey. You have nothing to be proud of. With you out of my life, I've let the most shameful thing about me go. You are nothing more than a cockroach to me, Harvey! You deserve to be crushed in a trash can!”

Valencia snorted dismissively. “You didn't even contribute anything to Whitley's life. Know your place, you have no place in the heart or mind of a woman as beautiful and established as Whitley.”

Whitley shook her head. “Of course there won't be. In the three years I've been married to this man, all he's done is stay at home and do useless things. He's like a parasite living in my house. I've wanted to throw this parasite out of the house for so long!”

Unexpectedly, that was exactly what Whitley thought about Harvey all along. Harvey had thrown away his pride for 3 years and tried to be a different person just for Whitley. Harvey had tried to be a good person. He didn't even retaliate when he was treated as a slave by the Smith family members. Is this how Whitley responded? Treating Harvey as a parasite, when this woman probably didn't deserve anyone's pity.

Whitley chuckled again when she saw the door of the jewelry store. Her heartache had not gone away when she was forced out of the store because of Harvey. “For 3 years I endured the shame of having a completely useless husband. It's not fun having a trashy husband. Just when I was free of him and wanted to indulge myself in buying jewelry, I was humiliated by you again, Harvey.”

Whitley glared at Harvey. “Where do you think I got the ability to buy jewelry from, huh? I worked hard to bring the Smith family's, Demotion Company into the fold. I've made great progress over the years. It's also because of my partnership with Andreas that I have the money to buy jewelry. Think about it, Harvey, you can't even give me anything but trouble.”

Harvey remained calm despite the many insults that had come out of these two people's mouths for him. There was no reason to be upset. “Don't you know who helped you achieve everything? It was me.”

Whitley suddenly laughed at that. “You? What can you do? You've been lazing around at home and all you've done is cook food that doesn't taste good at all. For all you know, I've been throwing that food away! You only embarrass me when you show up at the office.”

It felt like something was stabbing Harvey in the heart when he heard that. Whitley's words reminded him of the time he was humiliated in front of the Smith family. However, Harvey suppressed it and remained calm. “If your grandfather were alive, he would have slapped you.”

With that little sentence, Whitley's face immediately turned red. “Stop talking about my grandfather! He caught a crazy disease in his head before he died! That’s why he asked me to marry a trash like you!”

Harvey did not expect Whitley to say such things about his grandfather. This woman really had a very shallow brain.

She angrily pointed at the jewelry store. “You'll see, I'll destroy this place someday! I'll level it to the ground. My man could do such a thing!”

Harvey gave a small smile. “You can't do that.”

Whitley glanced over with a frivolous smile. “Of course I can do it. Andreas has more wealth than you can imagine, Harvey. Getting this savage's shop destroyed is a piece of cake. Can you imagine if he destroyed you? You're even just like a pebble that was accidentally kicked by him.”

Valencia burst out laughing. Whitley's analogy was absolutely hilarious to her.

Harvey raised one eyebrow. It was very amused to hear Whitley glorify the man. “Don't you know what happened to Andreas Brown?”

Whitley snorted. She cocked her head proudly. To her, a man like Harvey would be destroyed in an instant. And Whitley couldn't wait for that.

Harvey calmly stepped up until they were close enough. Harvey looked at Whitley with calm eyes. “Andreas will go bankrupt and he'll go to jail.”

Whitley laughed. “Look how confident you were when you told that joke. The one going to jail is you, Harvey. Your demon hands have beaten him up and you'll rot in jail for it.”

Harvey gave Whitley a very cold stare. In fact, for some reason, Whitley felt that her gaze was so piercing that his chest felt tight. Slowly, Harvey turned around and walked away from the two women.

Whitley was transfixed there. It was a sensation she had never felt before when she talked to Harvey. That loser had previously looked so weak and deserving of torture, but that look just now felt so powerful that it made his breathing stop for a moment.

Whitley shook her head. “Damn, you're making this up!”

A moment later, a black BMW suddenly pulled up beside them. Whitley and Valencia were stunned at how nice the car looked.

Valencia gulped. “Whitley! Isn't that a BMW type-RK? That's the newest one! It was just released last month. The price can reach 2 million dollars. I heard that there are only two of those cars in the world.”

Whitley was wide-eyed. “Really? Who's the owner?”

Valencia shook her head. “I don't know. But that person must be very rich! If that person were my husband, then I would take him for a walk around the city. I'm sure everyone would envy me!”

Whitley and Valencia were transfixed waiting to see who got out of the car. It turned out to be a handsome man in a white shirt covered by a black tuxedo. Of course this set Whitley and Valencia's hearts racing.

However, the unexpected happened. The man approached and bowed before Harvey. “I have come to fetch you, Master Harvey. Please come in.”

The man opened the back door of the car and let Harvey in. As Harvey entered the car, his eyes glanced at Whitley and Harvey could see the frown on her forehead. Her mouth was unexpected until her chin dropped. Harvey knew when Whitley made that face, she was in shock.

    “What the hell is he? So annoying!” Whitley snorted while averting her gaze.Valencia herself was still stunned by the incident. Her head was having a hard time processing what she had just seen. In her mind, she kept wondering. “Harvey? Harvey Wilder? He drove that expensive and rare car?”Until the car pulled away, Valencia's eyes were still glued to the BMW. She swallowed. “Whitley, you saw that, right? Harvey is riding in that car.”Whitley immediately glanced sarcastically at the woman next to him. “Valencia, he's a poor man! He's also very useless and annoying. Don't ever mention that name in front of me again. Remember, he got us kicked out of this jewelry store.”Valencia immediately realized that. The look on her face instantly changed. “I almost forgot about him. He's a bastard!”Whitley sighed. “Ah, never mind! Thinking about that guy makes me want to throw up. There's no point in thinking about that bastard.”Valencia let out a long breath. Today's plan to go shopping was

    “Help! Help!” A man shouted loudly while holding his friend's hand. It was Jordan who held Harvey's hand.He brought Harvey to the Emergency Unit of the hospital they had built. It was still untidy, so there were not only doctors and nurses, but also some other workers. Who were preparing things.Suddenly, the people there were surprised by the arrival of the two people. Moreover, the blood from Harvey's hand continued to drip on the floor.Jordan shouted again, making a scene. “Help! My friend is hurt! The blood won't stop. Is there a doctor here?”Seeing an injured and pale-faced person, several nurses and doctors approached Jordan and Harvey. One of the doctors looked on in panic. “What's going on? Why is someone injured?”Jordan held the doctor's hand. “You're a doctor, right? Hurry up and help my friend. He's hurt badly!”Jordan was pleading and panicking. Even his hands were shaking and he was breaking out in cold sweat. His demeanor was as convincing as one who had lost hope.T

    Doctor Aurelia glared. For a moment her eyes were glued to Harvey. However, a moment later she began to frown and her lips pulled back.She began to laugh amusedly after hearing what Harvey had just said. “Your joke is hilarious. What kind of person cuts his own hand like that? That wound is so deep, you could even lose your hand forever.”Although Doctor Aurelia laughed like that, Harvey did not laugh along with her. He just watched Doctor Aurelia without saying a single word. Until finally Doctor Aurelia turned to him. The laughter on the young doctor's lips began to fade.Harvey looked directly into Doctor Aurelia's eyes calmly. It was as if he was waiting to be heard. “I'm not joking.”Suddenly Doctor Aurelia furrowed her brows. She glared in disbelief at what she had just heard. “Are you out of your mind? You could be disabled for life! You should take care of your body, not destroy it like this. What you're doing could be killing yourself.”Harvey remained calm even though he wa

    “I didn't expect to be tested in this way.” Doctor Aurelia kept her surprise. In her heart, she was a little worried about this. “Thank you for testing me, General--”Harvey shook his head while frowning. “Call me Mr. Harvey, do not call me General.”Doctor Aurelia was silent for a moment. Calling a person of high rank by name directly felt awkward to Doctor Aurelia. Moreover, this man was the one who had led her when she was on the battlefield.Doctor Aurelia did know that Harvey had retired, but it felt rude to do so. Doctor Aurelia only smiled hesitantly at this moment.Harvey, who caught the hesitation, raised his head slightly. “Mr. Harvey, you can call me that. This is not on the battlefield.”Doctor Aurelia nodded. “Very well, Mr. Harvey.”Doctor Aurelia felt a great deal of awkwardness, but Harvey only gave a small nod. So Doctor Aurelia thought that this was the right thing to do.Doctor Aurelia exhaled. “Mr. Harvey, if you wanted to test me, why did you do such a dangerous t

    “Damn it!” Jay glared at Jordan. He became annoyed that Jordan didn't answer his question.In a moment Jay could instantly feel the immense pressure from Jordan. His eyes didn't even radiate fear at all. Jay was sure that this person was not just anyone who came here.Irritated, Jay pulled his hand away, but Jordan didn't let go of his grip. In fact, the more Jay tried the tighter Jordan held him.Jay clenched his teeth, not liking Jordan's actions. “Oh, it turns out that this hospital has the nerve to act. Deliberately hiring thugs like this to obstruct us, huh? You'd better stay out of it if you still care about your fate, you village thug!”Jordan narrowed his eyes. He was seriously watching Jay's gestures. From the movement of his eyes, mouth, and behavior, he seemed to have a protector who he considered a strong man.Not long after, Doctor Aurelia arrived and she firmly stepped closer. Her gaze was sharp at Jay who had an unpleasant look on his face. “Why are you here again? I t

    “What a jerk. He is a pain in the ass.” Doctor Aurelia exhaled. Her eyes closed tightly as she looked down.The words spoken by Jay earlier were really weighing on her mind. Several times Doctor Aurelia exhaled, but it didn't calm the pounding of her heart.It wasn't just once that Jay had come here. This time he came alone, but before that he came with some gang members. They harassed the workers of this hospital, causing construction to come to a halt for some time.This time, Jay was really humiliated. Doctor Aurelia was worried about what that person would do next. Thinking about this made Doctor Aurelia a little dizzy. With a worried look she turned her head towards the hospital at the back. Even though the building wasn't completely finished, Doctor Aurelia felt responsible for the existence of this hospital.Doctor Aurelia shook her head softly. “I messed it up. The Longwood family won't like this news.”Harvey turned to the woman. He could see how she was distressed by Jay who

    “How did it get like this?” Whitley muttered it several times.The thin nails on his fingers pinched her lips incessantly. Occasionally she would bite them. Slowly but surely, Whitley walked to the right, then to the left again, and to the right again. She did so with furrowed brows.The scream from Andreas on the phone was still ringing in her head. It penetrated and seemed to squeeze her head. Moreover, Whitley had heard the news that Andreas had actually been arrested by the police.Whitley did not want to believe that fact. Because in the city of Duskvale, even a god should not be able to touch their slippery skin. The police who were supposed to be on the Brown family's side should not have done that.Whitley bit her fingernails again. “How is this?”Like a breath of air, this worry slipped into Whitley's chest until her breathing became heavier. Andreas' father, Johan, had told Whitley not to worry as he would take care of Andreas. However, the unceasing doubt stabbed at Whitley

    “How is it, darling?” Patricia, Johan Brown's wife, tugged on Johan's arm several times.Her heart kept imagining bad things happening to Andreas. The sirens and screams she remembered when Andreas was dragged away by the men in uniform kept Patricia's heart racing. However, she could do nothing but plead and tug on the arm of her equally confused husband.Johan's eyes glanced at his wife, the movement slow and slightly hesitant. His jaw hardened, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the surface of the table, as if looking for a way to avoid the question that had just been asked. “How what?”Patricia frowned. Exhaling in resignation, her shoulders slumped as if she was carrying the weight of the world. “About our son, of course. He's been arrested by the police.”Johan reached over and held his wife's trembling hand. With his thumb, he rubbed the back of her hand. “It will be alright. Uncle Andreas will be here soon. Cole is a reliable person.”Johan said it softly, giving her a calm

    Thin smoke rose from the coffee cup in front of Harvey, dancing slowly in the air before dissipating. His relaxed hands held the sides of the cup, but his eyes were sharp, watching his seatmate. Across from him, Vanessa sat upright, her hands wrapped around a glass of dewy iced lemon-tea. Her gaze was piercing, serious, like she was dissecting something invisible.She sips her drink slowly, but her eyes do not move from Harvey. Her eyelids lowered slightly, squinting, as if trying to pierce through layers of flesh and bone to observe an invisible flow-the ki energy.Harvey only raised an eyebrow slightly, returning the gaze with a faint smile. At first glance, he seemed relaxed. However, his mind was working fast. Silently, he could feel the faint pulsation of Vanessa's energy. Her ki was-already starting to take shape. Not perfect yet, but definitely stronger than before.Looks like she really followed my training instructions, Harvey muttered to himself. There were even subtle vibra

    "Pathetic?"Steve froze. His eyes widened for a moment, and he swallowed hard. The word-short, cold, and piercing-sounded foreign after all this time. No one had ever dared to say it to him.His anger overflowed uncontrollably. He rose to his feet quickly, his movements stiff with seething emotion."Why am I the pathetic one?" he snapped. "What do you mean, huh?!"His tone was resounding, but it sounded fragile-like someone who had just been dropped from a great height.Steve's already shattered self-esteem was being trampled on again. And it's Harvey, someone he doesn't even know.But Harvey only gave him a quick glance, like he was staring at an insignificant shadow.Then, wordlessly, he places one hand on Steve's shoulder-quiet, yet heavy as stone.With one steady push, Steve's body was pushed down. He couldn't resist the pressure, and sat back on the ground, dumbfounded.His eyes are fixed on Harvey, but not with anger. This time... there was a faint fear beginning to creep in beh

    Harvey grabbed Steve roughly by the collar and dragged him into a quiet, empty room, far from the noise of the event outside. Steve’s body slammed into the wall as Harvey shoved him inside. The door shut with a cold click, and Harvey slowly turned around, his gaze sharp as a dagger.Steve’s breath came in short, rapid bursts. His heart pounded violently, like it was trying to burst out of his chest. He glanced at the door—but quickly looked back at Harvey. No easy way out. His jaw clenched. He balled his fists, fingers trembling from the mix of rage and fear boiling in his chest.“You...” Steve’s voice caught before turning into a growl. “You’ll pay for this!”Harvey tilted his head slightly, his eyes still cold, unblinking.“Quiet,” he said, low but pressing. “Where did you get this sword?”Steve snorted, chest heaving. His glare brimmed with hatred. Disgust surged in his throat, like he was being choked by a situation he couldn’t control.“You’ll be destroyed for what you’ve done! I

    All eyes were on Harvey. The once boisterous room is now tense, silent in the questions that hang in the air. Whispers began to flow, slow but sharp-were they just tricked? Was the man really a nobody?From the crowd, Whitley stepped forward. The heels of her boots clashed against the marble floor, creating a sound that broke the silence like the ticking of a time bomb. Her face was full of cynicism, her eyes staring at Harvey as if he was a piece of trash that had just been purged from her life history.With a raised chin and a sharp voice, Whitley clicked her tongue. "You think I don't know how you act, Harvey the trickster?"Her tone was confident, full of unhealed past wounds. She pointed at Harvey, like a prosecutor pointing at a defendant in the middle of a trial. "My family trusted you once. My cousin-you got him into millions of dollars of debt! And now you're standing here like a hero!"The crowd began to murmur again. Their expressions changed-the doubts began to grow. Foreh

    Harvey stared at Steve for a moment, his mind filled with strategy. The man was still useful-especially for prying out secrets about the ancient weapon that now hung in his hands, cold and mysterious.He turns his gaze to Adam Adreta. His gaze was sharp, calm as the surface of the water that held the storm beneath."I'll take care of this man," he said, his voice flat but full of decision.Adam stared at Harvey, his eyes burning with unrelieved anger. "You?" his voice rose, bitter. "Don't you realize who you're dealing with? I'm the victim of this asshole! My biological grandson was almost-almost-sacrificed by him!"His anger exploded, no longer just words. Like a mountain cracking at its peak, Adam moved without thinking. His hand reached into his jacket with a rough motion, pulling out the pistol tucked underneath.The muzzle end of the weapon pointed straight at Steve. The man took a step back, his face pale, sweat running down his temples, and his body shaking as if the whole worl

    Seeing how embarrassed Steve was as he retreated with a gasp and a shudder, Adam's anger exploded. His eyes widened, his face red. His voice was high and accusatory, "So you've been deceiving me all this time? You're not the God of War?!"Steve was choked up. His heart was beating fast like a war drum. He stepped back once, then hurriedly tried to straighten up. "N-no! I really am the God of War! I'm not lying!" he exclaimed, a voice that sounded more like pleading than conviction.With hands that were still trembling slightly, Steve grabbed the hilt of the sword stuck in the floor. He pulled it. Once. It didn't move. The second time, with all his strength-it still didn't budge.His forehead began to sweat. Her face paled even more. "Huh? Why... can't it be unplugged?" she muttered, more to herself, her voice small and full of nervousness.People began to whisper. Doubts began to creep into the crowd. The figure they revered as the God of War now looked like a bad actor on stage whose

    Adam's eyes grow wide, the veins in his neck tightening as he stares at Harvey. "Don't bullshit me!" he exclaimed, his voice cracking like a whip in the air. "I met the God of War in Westvale, on the coast. You know yourself, a year ago that place turned into hell when war broke out!"His steps were heavy and steady as he advanced toward Harvey, as if each tread hit the floor with suppressed rage. His eyes were sharp, lit by the unquenched embers of vengeance. His right hand is clenched into a fist, the joints white with pressure."Mr. Steve Corland is the God of War!" he hissed, his tone like a freshly sharpened knife. "You saw his weapons for yourself-not just anyone's. He fought until his blood flooded the ground, his body covered in wounds. I... I pulled him out of that killing field and treated him with my own hands!"Harvey stared at Adam without blinking, his face as flat as the surface of the water calm in a storm. Adam's seething emotions seemed unable to touch him. Without a

    Steve's gaze was smoldering, like an ember looking for something to devour. His eyes held a fierce anger-not just anger, but a vengeance that was on the verge of exploding. With a quick, steady motion, he reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist. The aged metal gleamed grimly, suggesting a long history of blood and power-a weapon that had only been a whisper in Harvey's ear.Without warning, Steve lunges. His sword darts through the air, aiming straight for Harvey's neck, like a venomous snake ready to peck.In a split second, Harvey opens his eyes. His breath caught. There was something in the blade-a pressure, an ancient force pulsing through his bones. The world seemed to slow down. In the eerie silence, his body braced, his survival instinct taking over.The blade darted so close that its sharp wind grazed Harvey's cheek. But in one barely perceptible movement, Harvey raised his hand and-two fingers clamped down on the blade, stopping it instantly. There was no wound. No tre

    “Security! Take this filthy man out!” Adam screeched, his voice cracking like a whip through the air.Four large men burst through the crowd, their steps steady and alert. But when they reached the front of the circle and saw who was standing with Harvey, their movements suddenly slowed. Their gazes froze, and the once stout legs were now hesitant to act.Meanwhile, Harvey swatted Steve's hand away from his shoulder with a rough stomp. Steve staggered a step back, losing his balance for a moment, leaving several bystanders wide-eyed.In the next second, the click of guns rang out. Four gun barrels raised in unison, pointing directly at Harvey's chest. The pressure in the air rose sharply, like an invisible storm that everyone there could feel.“Stop right there! You've been aggressive to the God of War!” one of them exclaimed, his voice hardened, yet containing a nervous tone that could not be hidden. “You will be punished!”Harvey only turned his head slowly. His gaze swept over the
