Harvey York ignored those people and calmly said, “Elder Bauer, I wouldn’t dare to ask you to do anything. But I’d like to ask: what was your original intention when you decided to establish Longmen?”Samuel Bauer realized something, but he still smiled and replied, “To protect the country for the emperor!“Of course, it’s because of that!”Harvey chuckled.“Indulging the branch leader under you and arrogantly bullying the citizens. You did all that in the name of protecting the country?“If you did, I feel like there’s no need for Longmen at all!”Samuel remained silent for a moment, then continued talking.“Harvey, what happened exactly? I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement.”Harvey calmly replied, “Nothing much. It’s just that one of your branch leaders is planning to kill me off.“Even though I wanted to deal with this myself, I would still have to ask if you’re supporting him, Elder.“Because if you are, I wouldn’t mind going to Wolsing myself!”Samuel then swiftly
The crowd was shocked, muddled, and terrified!Longmen’s branch leader was kneeling in front of a junior and being slapped left and right. Nobody would believe it if they weren’t there to see it for themselves!It did not matter what background Harvey York had or who he called.But victory had already been decided!When Oliver Bauer kneeled, all of his pride and dignity were already gone.And all those thirty-six men were kneeling on the ground as well without the courage even to raise their heads.It was safe to say that he was just as miserable as he was domineering before.The people that came to stand up for Hugh Baker were all utterly terrified by the sight and then quietly backed away.Even though they couldn’t get away, all of them had the same idea, and that was to stay away from Hugh and pretend that they were not acquainted with him.Hugh and Tristan Quinlan were filled with resentment. They wanted to choke Harvey to death so badly.Why would crushing a live-in son-
At the Gardens Residence.Harvey York carefully walked inside, about to take a shower in the bathroom.With a resounding click, the entire living room that was as dark as night was lit up.Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer were wearing pajamas on the couch, hugging their arms while glaring at Harvey.Master York, who just crippled a branch leader of Longmen, felt like his head was going numb.He had to force a smile and ask, “Mandy, Xynthia, why aren’t the two of you in bed yet?”“What were you doing outside? And why did you come back this late?”Mandy was frowning.Harvey replied, “It’s nothing. I just went to have a talk with Hugh’s godfather.”“And then what happened?”“And then, the father and son realized their own mistakes. They promised not to step foot in Buckwood ever again, then held each other’s hands and left,” Harvey said, full of confidence.Mandy and Xynthia looked at each other full of disbelief, but they saw that Harvey was completely unscathed. It seemed like
On the next day.Harvey York had gotten word of Oliver Bauer being assassinated early in the morning.After giving a call to Yannick Bisson, Harvey then went to a funeral parlor.Oliver’s status was too extraordinary. That was why besides Yannick, Yoel Graham was there as well.Inside the morgue, there was a body that was as pale as a ghost. It was none other than Oliver himself, but with an additional red dot on his forehead.Harvey sized up the body and calmly asked, “What happened here?”Yannick took a deep breath and replied, “After Oliver and the group left the parking lot last night, they went to Edward Hospital to treat their injuries. They then drove toward Buckwood International Airport right after.“About twelve miles away from the airport, Oliver asked to open the car window right as they were leaving the urban district. It was then a suppressed bullet went right into his head. It was a one-shot kill!“The shooter’s extremely accurate. No ordinary person could’ve mad
Harvey York seemed indifferent.Yannick Bisson, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, “CEO York, what do you think the killer’s motives are for assassinating Oliver Bauer?”Harvey calmly replied, “It’s not for money, and it’s not for revenge. Then, it’s most likely to cause trouble.“It might not be against me, but the killer is at least trying to shake things up in Buckwood for some reason. No doubt about it.“Buckwood is basically a metal bucket now, after all. It’s almost impossible for outsiders to just waltz in as they please.“But if they were to push me to the heart of the struggle and the government of South Light had to throw me out to give Samuel Bauer a fair statement, then, they might have a shot to come in.”Without a second thought, Harvey continued speaking.“If we think about it this way, the killer’s motive isn’t just to kill Oliver, and certainly it’s not to deal with me either.“They wanted to take advantage of the situation while Longmen is in chaos
Harvey York then replied calmly, “Even if everything that you said was true, what are you going to do about it?”Rachel Hardy hugged her arms and looked down on Harvey.“Let’s cut the nonsense. Kneel and break your arms, then we’ll talk after you have kneeled for seven whole days in front of my master’s grave!“If not, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Rachel was domineering at this moment. There was an unspeakable aura surrounding her.It was apparent that this woman was at least capable. It seemed like she had been to war before.Her comrades were glaring at Harvey ferociously, as if they would kill him in any minute.Harvey calmly replied, “So, you’re saying that you won’t be investigating the matter any further?”“Investigate?! All of the facts are here, why would there even be a need for that?!” Rachel retorted coldly.“Even if you don’t, do you think that you’re worthy enough for me to break my arms and kneel in front of Oliver’s grave?”Harvey’s expression t
Rachel Hardy sized up Yoel Graham and let out a burst of laughter. “You must be the first-in-command of the government of Buckwood, Yoel Graham.“You’re nothing in front of me!“The first-in-command of South Light’s government being here should be more appropriate!“I’m telling you right now, nobody can protect Harvey today! Harvey York, you’re as good as dead!”In the middle of Rachel’s speech, she took out a red license and threw it right at Yoel’s face.Yoel grabbed the license and took a glance. His expression changed frantically after he saw it.“The license to kill?!”“It’s good that you know about this. Even though I already quit Longmen, my license is still here. Even the sovereign grants special permission to kill first before reporting!“Even if you were to stand in my way, Yoel Graham, I’ll just kill you off too! Who would even dare to stand up for you?!”Rachel did not give a sliver of respect toward Yoel. Her license to kill was her trump card.Besides, she alr
Sluggish!Everyone was sluggish!They could tell that Rachel Hardy was an extraordinary top talent. She was going for Harvey York with all her strength.But in front of Harvey’s palm, the all-powerful top talent could not even withstand a single blow.Puff!Rachel stood back up from a ruined wall while her face was beet red and dust covering all over her. She then shyly exclaimed, “Harvey, you’re shameless! How dare you land a sneak attack?!”Her brothers and sisters froze over slightly, then righteously pointed at Harvey while furiously scolding him, “Shameless! Sneaking up on her like that!”“Is that so?“Then, come at me again.”Harvey nonchalantly flashed the beckoning finger at Rachel.He was provoking her!Harvey was showing no respect toward Rachel at all!Rachel’s expression changed frantically, then waved her hand in the next moment. A sword box inside the Hummer behind her slightly trembled. A dagger that was three inches long then flew out right into Rachel’s han
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
After meeting Emery, Harvey left Dragon Cell's office without looking back. As for how long Emery would be in his cell, Harvey did not expect much. It was already complicated to force someone like Emery to come in and cooperate when they had little clear evidence.Once back in his estate, Harvey immediately ordered George to use everything he could to find clues about Grand City. Everything that had happened this time had crossed Harvey's line. He had to go to Grand City no matter what. Other than taking over the Three Halls as per their promise, he also needed to settle the score regarding everything else.Once Harvey had organized everything and was going to have a drink in the courtyard, he saw a discreet Bentley appear outside his gate. The door opened, and a beautiful figure emerged from the vehicle. It was Sienna, the princess of the Wright family.Harvey was not that surprised when he saw Sienna's arrival. Instead, he stood up with a smile and said, "You have the time to come
"However, I'm not interested in that. I simply want to see how you will escape from this," replied Harvey to Emery with a chuckle. "Also, I can give you a clue. The one behind this is most likely your best friend, Dan. I wonder what you think after knowing that?"After that, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked at Emery, trying to gauge whether his emotional state had changed.Emery tilted his head a little and asked in interest. "Why are you so sure that Dan is behind this?"Then, Harvey answered, "Because there's just too many coincidences. The people who did this are all related to you. Meanwhile, if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't use something simplistic and easily traceable back to you. If you analyze this from that angle, the person pulling the strings wanted to get me killed and also drag you down into the mud."And if this is how it all ended, then the person who will benefit the most from all this is, of course, the person pulling the strings, am I right? Not to mentio
After listening to what Harvey had said, Jesse was slightly taken aback. After that, he understood what Harvey meant. With things progressing to this stage, it did not matter if they met officially; they had already become enemies. If that were the case, they should have met using this chance. Perhaps, Dragon Cell might be able to find something out.When that thought crossed Jesse's mind, he picked up a walkie-talkie and said a few words. Then, he said to Harvey, "I can take you to Emery, but I hope you won't expose who you are. We will also turn off the security cameras when you speak with him. Hopefully, that will give you the results you want."Harvey calmly nodded.Five minutes later, Harvey was taken to a cell on basement level nine. There was no light within the cell, and it was extremely cold. In the middle of the cell, there was a metal chair. On top of the chair was a yellow lamp, but looking at its light alone could make one feel dizzy. While that was what others would fe
"She crushed her phone, right?" Harvey said as he looked at the evidence on the tray. "Since she needed to crush her phone, it meant there was something inside that had to remain hidden. Have you checked it?"Jesse shook his head. "My coworkers down in evidence did what they could, but this is a satellite phone. We can't check the record from the vendor. The one who destroyed the phone also destroyed the chip and the memory card. There's almost a zero percent chance of recovering the data from the phone."Harvey frowned. "Not only did she choose to die decisively, she even destroyed all the evidence. Which meant that everything she said to me before she died was meaningless. The testimony from the dead cannot be trusted."Harvey had also given his statement before this, hence why Jesse knew what Harvey was talking about."Are you sure the person behind this is Dan, Harvey? Or maybe, it's better if I said that Dan was the one that pushed all of this?"Harvey nodded. "That's what I
When the man leading the Dragon Cell members saw that Emery was willing to cooperate, he took a step forward and gave him a professional smile. "Hello, Mr. Emery. I am the captain of the Dragon Cell Task Force. You can call me Seven. This is my ID and other papers signed by the government."As you are now suspected of being involved in the murder of someone especially important in our country, we need you to cooperate with our investigation. I can also inform you that we have both evidence and witnesses. You may try to prove your innocence and do what you think is necessary, but you must go with us so we may have a good chat in Dragon Cell. If you refuse, you should understand that we have special privileges at certain times."The captain of the special task force pulled out the revolver he had with him and carefully put in a special bullet. When Emery saw this, the edge of his lips twitched. He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Since your ID and paperwork are complete, what else ca
Kyros' attention immediately turned to the screen linked to the security camera. He then saw men and women in uniforms with cold expressions right outside the door."Dragon Cell? One of the Four Pillars?" His face turned icy when they saw these people. He turned around and immediately slapped Royce in the face. "Look at what you did! Dragon Cell is here! We're both done for!"-At the estate belonging to the Wrights of Wolsing, a row of Toyota slowly drove in and stopped right in front of the estate's gates. While the cars weren't that lavish, the dark green color and the special plates explained their identities.The doors were opened, and dozens of men and women got out and walked calmly to the gate of the estate. At this time, whether it was the security guards at the gate or the defenders hiding in the darkness, they all frowned. Fear colored their faces when they saw the group appearing.The butler, who was quickly coming over to greet them, couldn't even say a word before he
