At the same time, at the Walker Mansion… Inside the extremely magnificent hall of the family villa, around thirty people had taken their seats.Men and women were there, both young and old. Every single one of them looked glamorous and refined.There were members of Mordu's Walker family.Although the Walker family was not one of the top ten families, they were still a top rated family with an immense background within Mordu.Justin’s bloodline was only one out of five within the family.On this day, Justin requested his father, senior of the Walker family, Anton Walker, to come to the family residence as a statement for Kait.Anton seemed quite young, though his hair was completely white. He was dressed in traditional clothing and sat on a wooden armchair in the middle of the hall. His temperament seemed rather fierce.Right next to him, Justin was steadily pinching his cigar and slowly lighting it up. He blew up several puffs of smoke, completely poker-faced. Everyone pres
In a blink of an eye, several strong men in suits appeared everywhere. They were not part of the Walker family. As soon as they showed up, they had already blocked every single exit from the hall. The other members of the family were quite unphased when Kait’s expression changed slightly , as if everything that was happening was nothing out of the ordinary.In just a moment, the hall had turned into an extremely dangerous place. If anyone were to enter or exit the place, they would have to pay a huge price.Kait turned around, her face frantic.Lucas, dressed in a suit, crossed his arms as he walked in steadily through the hall entrance.Although the handsome and talented Lucas was wearing a warm smile, an unspeakable aloofness lingered around him.It was as if he was a venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment.Behind him, two other people followed.One of them was the hall manager of Paramount, Lenny Thompson. After Lucas’s most trusted subordinate died, Lenny took his p
“There are two reasons why I’m here today.”“Number one: I’m here to be a witness for you and reclaim justice for my mother-in-law.”“Number two: I’m here to complete our wedding. Your grandfather, your father, your aunt, your uncle—every single member of your family agreed that you’ll be marrying me today.”“Marry you?!”In her rage, Kait found herself chuckling. “Lucas, did you not hear what I just said?!”“I’d rather die and slam my head on the floor right now than marry you!”But Lucas remained calm. “Even if you did that, you’d have to marry me no matter what.”“You’ll be a part of the Jean family.”“Whether you’re dead or alive.”“After all, you have to obey your parents’ orders!”“Your matchmakers’ orders!”“You’re going to marry me…”“Whether you like it or not!”Kait’s tone was ice. “Why don’t you try it, then? I guarantee that even my corpse won’t end up with you!”But Lucas was not enraged by those words. Instead, he responded to her with a warm smile.“So y
As the Walkers left, Lucas waved his right hand. His subordinates brought out a traditional wooden bed from the corner of the hall.Colorful lights and decorations were placed soon after, lighting up the hall with a joyful ambience.The sight shocked Kait. Subconsciously, she tried to leave.Tap!However, Macy spread out her hands and blocked Kait’s path. She smiled at Kait.“I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave today, Madame.”“What did you say?”Kait threw a scornful glare at Lucas, gritting her teeth.“What are you trying to do, Lucas?”“What am I trying to do?”Lucas chuckled.“I wanted to see the statement that the Walker family would give you.”“But your grandfather did not do that, and even gave me a mission.”“You should know, I always respect my elders…”“That’s why, I’m going to complete Grandfather-In-Law’s mission right now.”“There’s no rush to get the shares back. Let’s commence with the wedding festivities for now…”Lucas stretched out his hand and lifte
Kait gritted her teeth and exclaimed firmly, “I’ll tell you one more time!”“Even if I die, I’ll never marry you!”Bang!Lucas could not hold back any longer. He sent Kait flying with a kick, and she crashed right into the red wooden bed.Kait grunted in pain, blood seeping out of her mouth. It dyed the blanket crimson. The splash of blood spread like red winter sweets. It was a miserable sight.“You!”Kait raised her head up with all her might and glared at Lucas, but Lucas’s gaze was filled with twisted passion.It seemed torturing the women he fancied was a hobby of his.Faced with such a gaze, Kait felt a cold shiver run down her spine.She was reminded of a rumor some time ago: Lucas was a twisted pervert.His favorite pastime was to torture and kill women. In fact, hundreds of women had already died in his hands in recent years.“Strip, Kait.”Lucas took a deep breath, and wiped his fingers with tissue paper. He was holding back his immense desires.“If you keep re
The powerful men in suits flashed Harvey wretched grins. A shame that Harvey sent them each flying with a mighty kick before they could even do anything.Invincible!That man was invincible!“Harvey, you bastard! I’ll kill you!”Lenny pulled out a firearm and aimed right at Harvey as he pulled the trigger.Kait screamed, “Harvey, look out!”Bang!Harvey did not even pay Lenny the hall manager any mind. With just a single kick, Lenny was sent flying. The bullet from Lenny’s shot struck one of the guards who was standing on the side. Right after that, two more men were sent rolling on the ground.“Is this all that Mordu’s Jean family can offer?”“No wonder you can only remain as the tenth family in the ranks.”There was no emotion on Harvey’s face, but his words were blatantly disrespectful.“As expected from the sixth Prince of Mordu. You can’t surprise me at all.”Lucas and the others’ faces were utterly horrible.Lucas was proudest of the fact that he was listed as one of
“Drop the prince and we can still go back, Harvey. If you don’t, you’ll die without a burial place!”Macy ignored the sting on her face and pulled out her own firearm, aiming it right at Harvey.Slap!Harvey gave Lucas a slap across the face, then used a little more force to choke Lucas.About a dozen firearms were now aimed right toward Harvey, but he was still standing there calmly.“Would you all like to see if your guns are faster than my hand?”Harvey used a little more force to choke Lucas harder than before. Lucas’s face, which had lost all its color, immediately swelled red. There were red veins building in his eyes, which looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.Macy and the others were scared witless by the sight. They wanted to shoot Harvey, but they were afraid that Lucas would get caught in the crossfire.Brennan rushed toward the scene as soon as he got the message. He was also holding a firearm when he rushed to protect Kait.“Drop your weapons,
Slap!Harvey slapped Lucas’s face again and spat, “Try yapping one more time.”“Every time you spout nonsense, I’ll hit your master.”“We can see if your yapping’s better than my slapping if you want.”Macy clenched her teeth in anger. She wanted to skin Harvey alive so badly, but she dared not say anything more.She could tell that the man in front of him was a ruthless one. If he were to go all out, only God would know the things that could happen.“Kait. You two go ahead.”“Wait for me in the villa.”Harvey glanced at Kait and Brennan.Kait trembled and replied quietly, “No, Harvey. What’s going to happen to you if I leave?”Harvey smiled.“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”“I wouldn’t be able to do much with you here, anyway. We might not be able to leave if that happens.”Before Kait could say anything, Harvey shot Brennan a look.Brennan understood, and then began to drag Kait away by force.Several men in suits blocked their path, having no intention to let Kait leave.
"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
