Harvey walked through unhurriedly.
All eyes were on him, but he was unaware of it, always having a smile on his face.
The sun seemed gentle when it shone on his face, treating such a perfect person as if even the light was
favoring him.
When he finally walked away into the distance, people behind him exclaimed, “Truly in Harvey’s fashion-
no one could come close when it comes to his magnanimity.”
“He is the son of the Ellison family, not a son of the nouveau riche like others in the school, but a real
noble.
He is in a different league altogether.”
“When I had not met him in person, I was still wondering if he could be worthy of Snow.
Now I feel like Snow isn’t necessarily worthy of him.”
No one refuted that statement.
Even Snow’s fans, who were usually her staunch defenders, were quiet as a church mouse.
There was not a word from them.
The truth was too apparent.
Comparing Snow’s disposition with Harvey’s was akin to comparing peanuts with pearls.
She was too pretentious, a stark contrast to Harvey’s genuineness.
But many people were still very supportive of the two coming together.
After all, there were few good-looking girls in the Royal Creek Institute previously.
The Royal Creek Institute covered a large area.
There was a hill behind the school.
The hill offered breathtaking scenery, lush greenery, and fresh air.
No one in the Royal Creek Institute knew the hill was Mr.
Riddle Sr.’s little gift to Harvey.
It was a privately-owned hill.
Harvey would usually take a detour every time he went to his grandfather’s office.
After all, few people traversed this road, and he could find some quiet moments here.
He walked at a leisurely pace but not slow.
It did not take long before he came to the path down the hill. It was an open space where Harvey
occasionally came here for a run when he was still living on campus, so he had a wooden chair installed
here.
He would sit here for a while when you had nothing to do.
It could be said that this was his exclusive seat. But this time, he was surprised.
He found on his exclusive chair a bunch of strange items.
There were some things like weapons with unique looks as if they were things that would only be used in
practicing martial arts. Harvey rarely showed emotions on his face.
But at this time, he clearly looked surprised.
‘Who would play such a thing in school? Could it be that some martial art wizard had come while I was
away?’ He looked up ahead, and sure enough, he saw a person.
Harvey took a few steps forward to take a closer look.
He was astonished to find that the person practicing martial arts was a girl.
Harvey could not see her face clearly, only that she had a fair complexion and was holding a whip-like
weapon in her hand.
Every time she withdrew her hand, the whip would oscillate around her like a snake.
Sometimes as she struck down, the tail of the ld hit the ground, producing an extremely crisp and sharp
slapping sound, as if a thunderbolt exploded next to the ears. Whips were one of the most difficult
weapons to master in modern martial arts.
But this girl could handle it with ease.
How could he not know that there was such a martial art genius in the Royal Creek Institute? She was
agile but losing no strength. Harvey looked at her, fascinated.
He wanted to get further closer to see who she really was. Nicole was now ready to wrap up by pulling
up the whip with the sway of her hand.
As she turned around, she was surprised to see a clueless guy, who appeared out of nowhere, standing
so close to her.
Nicole could not change the whip’s direction by now, her face grave.
She spun herself around and wrapped the whip around her waist in the nick of time to avoid hurting
someone. But even so, the whip’s tail carrying a chilly air still swished past in front of Harvey’s eyes.
The girl’s characteristic coolish fragrance fleeted past the tip of his nose, causing his heart to race. “Why
did you suddenly come so close? Don’t you know it is very dangerous?” Nicole shot him an irritated
glare, wondering why he was so reckless.
If she had not reacted quickly enough, he would have surely been wounded or something. Harvey only
then snapped back and saw Nicole’s face.
‘She’s so stunning! She’s like the spring blossom, cold as the moon in the night sky, dignified yet
irresistibly alluring.’ As if she did not want her hair to affect her movements, her long hair was braided
into several strands, bent around the side of her neck, and cascaded down smoothly on her chest.
The inky black hair and icy eyes made her look aloof and out of this world. Harvey looked at her quietly.
He then recognized her as the person, Nicole, who had been discussed on the school forum lately. He
came out of his daze and let out a gentle smile.
“Hello, Nicole,” he said, his tone of voice proud yet reserved. Nicole frowned, not impressed with this guy
who came disturbing her martial arts practice.
He was nearly wounded yet still greeted her and did not have any remorse. She did not know how he
knew her, and she was not interested in having any conversation with him.
She said in an icy voice, “If you still want to live, don’t watch someone practice martial arts at such a
close-range next time.” With that, she walked over to the wooden chair, packed up her things, and left.
Harvey was left looking sheepish as she went.
She is arrogant!’ he thought to himself. He was the most outstanding son of the Ellisons and the only heir
to the Ellison Group.
Everyone who met him would treat him with respect, and some even tried to brown-nose him.
But Nicole was distant and did not give a damn who he was.
‘Damn it! I can’t believe I am not angry at all.
Instead, 1-I feel like being in love! H-Have I fallen in love with her at first sight?’
