Katy wasted no time to guide Harvey down the deeper parts of the guild hall.


    Harvey shrugged to himself and followed her without anyints.


    There was a chance that Katy was nning to kill Harvey, but he believed that she was a clever


    woman.


    Clever women wouldn’t bother with worthless attempts.


    Soon, the two walked past the heavily guarded alley to a small, Nanyang-style courtyard.


    Right when the two got inside, a dark-skinned woman stepped out from the corner of the courtyard and


    quickly blocked Harvey’s path. Her face was ice-cold.


    She seemed quite young, with a lean body rippling with muscles. She reminded Harvey of an agile


    cheetah


    Just by simply standing in ce, she was able to give off an immense amount of pressure.


    She made a strange chirping sound, and suddenly, bugs appeared and crawled their way towards


    Harvey.


    Harvey looked at the woman silently, and then


    chuckled. He let out a small hint of the killer aura he had perfected on the battlefield, letting it cover


    throughout the entire courtyard.


    In seconds, the dark-skinned woman shivered in fear and stumbled backward.


    She stared at Harvey, her widened eyes filled with utter disbelief.


    At the same time, blood dripped out of her left


    eye.


    The chirping sound was immediately gone. Dead bugs of various sizes could be seen on the


    ground.


    “Nanyang spells? Interesting.”


    Harvey took a step forward and ground the bugs on the ground to dust with his feet.


    “Don’t use these cheap tricks on me. You’re embarrassing yourself.”


    Harvey’s calm words rendered the woman stunned.


    She suddenly let out an odd shriek, preparing herself to battle.


    “Enough, ck Ink. Stand down.”

    Katy didn’t expect ck Ink to take action all of a sudden.


    “He’s an exorcist. He’s here to save my grandfather, so don’t do anything reckless,” she quietly reminded


    the dark-skinned woman.


    ck Ink froze after hearing those words. She stepped down and grinned at Harvey, though she said


    nothing


    Harvey remained quiet, but his curiosity was piqued.


    Katy shed him an apologetic look.


    “I’m very sorry, Sir York. She’s my grandfather s personal bodyguard. She grew up with wolves since she


    was a little child, and she’s very single minded. She doesn’t even know how to speak. Please don’t mind


    her.”


    “It’s fine. Be aware that there are consequences for testing my limits, Head Cobb,” Harvey said, not


    bothered to give her a straight answer.


    “I’ll ept your excuses this time, but I probably won’t do so again.”


    Katy’s beautiful face turned bright red in an

    instant.


    That night, she suffered loss after loss the moment Harvey appeared. Initially, she wanted to let ck Ink


    test Harvey’s strength right when they arrived at the courtyard.


    That was why she didn’t stop ck Ink immediately.


    She never expected Harvey to tell her true intention as soon as ck Ink showed up.


    “Alright, lead the way. I have to head back after taking a look at your grandfather,” Harvey added calmly.


    “Right. This way, please.”


    Katy wasted no time and led Harvey into a room.


    “A few years ago, he found a map of an ancient tomb by ident and wanted to explore it.”

    “The tomb was covered with the odor of rotting flesh. That poisoned him, and he was forced to leave.”


    “After returning home, his limbs immediately shrunk. He couldn’t move since then, and he needs the


    constant care of others just to function.”
