“According to my knowledge, the only person within Mordu named Lynch is the first-in-command, Benjamin Lynch! You’re not going to tell me you called Sir Lynch himself now, are you?”Kristan sized up Harvey with an icy glare, trying to expose Harvey.“If Sir Lynch really was the one that took your call, I’ll eat my entire phone!”Following Kristan’s mockery, the other two inspectors also looked at Harvey in disgust.‘Is a murder suspect trying to pretend that he’s some hot shot?’‘Does he think he can fix the problem just by calling someone?’‘What a joke!’Harvey smiled faintly, not bothered to give any straight answers.“I did call Master Lynch.”“He said he’ll send his most trusted subordinate to solve this problem.”“You idiot! You dare try to lie to us?!”Kristan shot Harvey a glare of utter loathing.“Sir Lynch is Mordu’s first-in-command, but he never gets involved with the police!”“If you’re looking for someone to cling onto in the police force, you should’ve calle
Inside the interrogation room… Harvey was calmly drinking the premium green tea in front of him, taking care not to show too much emotion.The chief inspector of Mordu Central Police Station was standing in front of him respectfully. “Sir York, Sir Lynch asked me to come here.”“He’s currently having a meeting at Wolsing, which is why he isn’t able to come right now. Please pay no mind.”“He already told me that your problems are his own. I’ll be sure to give you a justification for everything.”Otis’ attitude was quite proper. As a well-known person serving under Benjamin, Otis had already heard of Harvey. He also knew that Benjamin and his wife owed Harvey quite a lot.Despite being an immensely powerful man within the government of Mordu, Otis could not afford to be arrogant.Kristan and the rest of the inspectors watched from far away, almost stumbling to the ground. If they knew Harvey had such a strong support, they wouldn’t dare show off in front of him.Harvey smiled
Harvey rubbed his head and sighed.These two pieces of evidence wouldn’t work as solid proof when separated.But when linked together, irrefutable evidence was formed.Hector’s scheme was indeed quite interesting.Otis suddenly thought of something.“Right, Sir York. Something strange happened in Mordu Police Station last night.”Harvey nodded, signaling Otis to keep talking.Otis frowned.“One of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, Hector, showed up and announced that he would use all his power to bail you out.”“He would even change other people’s testimonies just for you.”“The condition was for Ms. Xavier to dine with him.”Harvey froze momentarily after hearing Otis’ words before chuckling lightly.“Seems like Young Master Thompson doesn’t disappoint.”“Not only does he kill people, but he also also takes advantage of other people’s weaknesses.”“What do you mean by that, Sir York?” Otis quietly asked.“If Yvonne agrees to the deal, I’d be bombarded by the press as s
Harvey York said indifferently, “It is really hard to exonerate me with the current evidence.“However, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.“I think your investigation has gotten into a dead end. Everyone is investigating me, thinking that I’m guilty, and making assumptions about me.“But no one went to investigate Miwa Fujihara. Maybe this so-called victim also has other clues and pieces of evidence on her?“Sometimes, even the dead can speak.”Apparently, Harvey had already thought of a breakthrough. It was just that he would not say it in front of others.Harvey would only tell Otis Kye after making sure that he was credible.“Letting the dead speak?”Otis was taken aback for a moment and was a little confused.Harvey dipped a little tea from the teacup using his finger and then slowly wrote a word on the table.Otis was a little dazed when he spoke just now. However, he came to realize it soon and understood it.“Young Master York, you definitely know exactly what to do!“
Harvey York smiled faintly and said, “It’s certainly an honor to be known by the second-in-command of Mordu.”Zeke Smith replied coldly, “Wipe that smirk off your face!“I know about you and Yvonne Xavier.“It’s also because of you that my niece is on bad terms with the Smith family and resists going on a blind date with Hector Thompson.“If it was like the old times, I won’t even bother with you young people and your affairs. You can even do whatever you like.“But it’s different now. You’re a suspect. I hope that you can stay away from Yvonne from now on.“So that you wouldn’t hurt her and yourself!”Zeke looked cold. A countryman who managed to make a little money by luck in Buckwood…Not only did he refuse to give a satisfactory explanation after getting involved in the murder, but he also wanted to get in through the back door?Zeke certainly looked down on such a person at heart.Harvey squinted, and said indifferently after sizing up Zeke carefully, “Mr. Smith, no matt
Zeke Smith left the scene as soon as he came by.Since Benjamin Lynch went to Wolsing for a meeting, Zeke, the second-in-command, would be fully in charge of all the work of the Mordu government.A single sentence from him certainly carried more weight than countless words from Otis Kye.Apart from anything else, just from the sentence “enforce the law impartially”, no one would dare to slop on this.Initially, Harvey York did not plan to come forward this quickly. He just wanted to take the opportunity to see what kind of instigators were involved in this incident.Since Zeke had come forward now, he did not mind using the other party’s influence to make this matter be settled fairer and just.After the dark-faced Zeke and the dumbfounded Otis left the scene, Kristan Duncan and the others immediately delivered a sumptuous breakfast. They also uncuffed Harvey simultaneously, giving him a certain degree of freedom.The interrogation that went on later became extremely polite. The
Sakura Miyamoto smiled and said, “It’s not me. Prince Terry Smith was the one who did it.“He seemed to be talking about this inadvertently during breakfast.“And after Zeke Smith heard about this incident, he immediately brought people to the first branch of the Mordu Police Station.“There is news that Benjamin Lynch’s confidant, Otis Kye, had already come out of the police station, and he could no longer deal with Harvey York’s matter.“Both Benjamin and Yona Lynch are in Wolsing, and things are cumbersome over there. Thus, they won’t be able to come back for a while.“Now, no matter how powerful Harvey is and how high his status, it’s useless because he is destined never to come out.”Sakura seemed to think highly of Terry. She whispered at this moment, “Prince Terry Smith’s move is certainly a torture to his body and soul!”Then, Hector said indifferently, “Sakura, it seems that you Islanders don’t speak Chinese.“Do you not understand what I mean? Or are you just pretendi
Hector Thompson just smiled gently and showed an indifferent expression, but his words caused the temperature around him to drop sharply.Fortunately, he quickly let go of his right hand and walked to the window, looking at the towering Centre of Mordu not far away.“There is one more thing you forgot.“Zeke Smith and the Smith family might not be on the same page.“Zeke devotes himself on government affairs wholeheartedly, and he has been promoted very quickly over the years.“Other than his ability and background, the most important thing is that he is unbiased to anyone, and he is impartial while doing some things.“It doesn’t matter whether they’re from the top ten families or just ordinary people, he treats everyone fairly.“Letting him interfere in this matter, it’s difficult to predict whether it’s a good thing or bad thing for us.“On one hand, he will indeed prevent Benjamin Lynch from interfering in this matter and finalizing the trail of evidence.“But on the other
"I'll give you ten minutes to walk out of there without your clothes on! If you do that, I won't kill anymore of your bodyguards. If you're still not here in ten minutes, then I'm sorry, but the flames will consume you. I'll remember to visit you at your grave next year!" Sora laughed strangely after that.Everyone who heard his laughter could only feel a chill in their bones as they felt disgusted. Mandy's expression became even darker. She did not refuse him immediately, though. While she knew he was playing a game of cat and mouse, those ten minutes might just be enough to save them.-At the same time. Outside of the manor. Sora and his group of confidantes had already arrived at the entrance of the manor. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrace. After he waved his hands, his confidante spread out and sealed the remaining entrances.Next to Sora was a swordsman with a mustache. His eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was an elite, the kind who could crush al
"Watch out!" It was at this time when Seven suddenly pulled Mandy over to the side, as his expression darkened. At the same time, one of the pieces of ballistic glass shook and fell on the floor. Then, bolts that seemed like rain stormed into the terrace, falling right where Mandy was standing.If it was not because of Seven's quick actions, Mandy might have already become a human pincushion. She was immediately covered in cold sweat. While she had personally grown and become a successful businesswoman, she had never been in many of these kinds of life and death situations.Whoosh!It was as if the people outside had noticed an opening, they continuously fired the Repeating Crossbow. As they did that, one of the bodyguards who could not dodge in time collapsed on the ground as he held his thigh. A bolt pierced through his thigh, and he immediately lost his ability to fight.Mandy quickly said, "Quick! Drag him over! It's too dangerous over there!"The two bodyguards trembled, and
"Ms. Mandy, you should run now! Run from the back! I can still hold them up for about 15 minutes!" Seven said in a bitter voice as he peeked outside from the door's gap from inside the manor. "If you don't, we won't be able to escape once they rush in. We're almost out of ammo. If we don't fight our way out, we'll all end up dead!"Mandy hesitated a little when she saw how Seven was becoming somewhat concerned and said, "Sure. We'll leave from the back door. But they're here for me. I can't escape. All of you should go and I'll cover you!"Mandy's expression was resolute. Seven was slightly stunned before saying, "Don't joke about something like that, Ms. Mandy. While I'm not one of your followers, but as a bodyguard of the Jeans of Mor'du, there's no way I can escape before you have safely retreated. If I do that, not only will I be unable to face the family, but I also won't be able to face myself and stay in this world!"All the bodyguards exchanged looks and said, "That's right,
The young man in the white suit was not that old. He was at least in his mid-twenties. However, his cheeks were somewhat red. It was obvious that years of excessive drinking and womanizing have left him too depleted for anything to be able to help him. But even then, he still looked in front with greed and obsession, as if wanting to push the woman in the manor to the ground and tear her apart.It was obvious that this man was the scion of the Origin Sword Style, Sora Yamamoto.Sora did not think much about the death of the Origin Sword Style elites. He did not even feel much about their death, as if their death had nothing to do with him."Sir, it's not that the woman is strong. It's the simple fact that no one expected her to have the Royal Flush with her… And she has plenty of it too. From the results of us testing her, the woman isn't saving the Royal Flush for something else when she had her bodyguards use them. I suspect that she had an unlimited supply of it.""You idiot!" S
"Too weak," Harvey sighed. In the next instant, he lifted his right foot and planted it on a broken piece of rock. Instantly, the rock shot out and headed straight to Sverker's throat. It was obvious that Harvey did not wish to leave the Origin Sword Style's number one elite alive."You fool…!" Sverker's entire soul was shuddering as he could feel Death coming for him. He let out a roar and all the energy within his body started to flow, wanting to use that to stop Harvey's attack. However, his thoughts were faster than he could act.The moment he wanted to fight back, he could feel the taste of blood in his mouth. The small rock had already pierced through his throat. In that instant, Sverker's thoughts instantly stopped as he lost the strength to struggle. Then, he collapsed on the ground just like that.There was anger, despair, and even doubt in his eyes.He could not believe that as an elite of the Origin Sword Style, as one of the few most powerful men in Sky Plane, how he en
When the palm strike was going to reach Sverker, Harvey changed his palm strike into a finger strike. He flicked his finger at the edge of the blade.Clank!"Gah!"Sverker seemed shocked as his body shook. There was even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was in a terrible state as he took a few steps back."Mr. Sverker!" All the women cried out at the same time, with shocked expressions. They could not believe that not only did Harvey manage to easily block the legendary Three Slashes, but most importantly he was able to force Sverker some distance back with just the flick of his finger!He was beyond terrifying!"Damn you, kid! Do you think this is my full power?" Sverker's temper was at boiling point after the continuous failures as he gritted his teeth. "I will send you to Hell with all three slashes fused into one!""I better be the one sending you to Hell. I'm already bored with your sword technique," replied Harvey casually. Before Sverker could even attack,
"Your life is worth so little and you want to drag us along to hell? Who do you think you are? All of you are just the same! Selfish to the core!" the woman yelled at Harvey. It was clear that no matter what Harvey did, she wouldn't like it.Harvey glanced at her and said, "We can forget a moment about how your Mr. Sverker is the one who wanted to die alongside me out of shame and anger, let's talk about you. Who else can you blame but yourself by wasting time here instead of running? Not to mention, he can't do anything to me even if he can slash time and the universe."You have overestimated Sverker. He's nothing but trash. I simply wanted to see how powerful the Sword Style Origin's technique is." Harvey then gave Sverker a look. "But at this level, I can easily dispel it with just one strike.""You…" Sverker was so angry that he shuddered. He wasn't going to waste any more time. He gritted his teeth and once again slashed at where Harvey was standing."Timely Slash!"A
"Is that right?" Harvey asked the woman.He looked at Sverker's dark expression."Oh, he's being that nice? Why not give me a few more concessions? Why don't you go easy on me and miss all three slashes?""Damn you! Damn you all!" Sverker's expression turned dark by Harvey's snickering. He pounced forward again. In just an instant, he already appeared before Harvey. His body suddenly swayed and separated into eight afterimages; all of them instantly slashed from all eight directions."Earthly Slash!"Whoosh!As Sverker made that attack, a screeching sound filled the entire marsh. Sverker attacked Harvey like a flash of lightning. The moment the blade almost reached Harvey, a dreadful aura expanded from it, as if a black light was covering the surface of the blade.The attack seemed to have come from the depths of Hell itself, carrying the wrath of countless ghosts.Harvey's expression was cold as his fist turned into a palm strike, and he attacked straight ahead. His attack w
"Idiot!" Sverker smiled coldly as his figure flashed as he pounced forth like a bolt of lightning. The sword in his hand was immediately pulled out from its sheath, like a shooting star across the sky.Compared to the attack just now, this attack was simply and much more direct. There wasn't even much strength behind it. However, those in the know would know that an attack like this was the most powerful.Sverker believed he could easily kill Harvey on the spot."So what if you defeated all the six schools? So what if you defeated all the prodigies from Country I? So what if you defeated Mark?" Sverker smiled coldly as he attacked. "All the so-called True Warriors were joking to me… Because I am the one who kills True Warriors!" Sverker smiled coldly as he unleashed his first strike."Heavenly Slash!" A scarlet light suddenly flashed through Sverker's blade. Harvey raised his head; the attack that was going to split the sky had arrived. Before the blade even reached h
