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
Hector Thompson finally turned around after hearing Yvonne Xavier’s name. He glanced at Sakura Miyamoto lightly and then said with great interest, “This woman is fascinating.“Or should I say that she is pretty unique and intelligent among the other wealthy daughters in the upper circle.“She is obviously very concerned about Harvey, but when I offered her a deal, she still refused in the end, although she was tempted by it.“In my opinion, she neither loves nor hates Harvey York.“It’s just that she has boundless confidence in Harvey. Her instincts told her that Harvey could certainly safely get out of this matter without anyone’s help.“This isn’t a good thing for us.”Hector looked regretful. Although he was yet to investigate the reason for Yvonne’s confidence…However, he still felt a little anxious.At least judging from Harvey’s identity, he did not have the right to turn things around easily.After all, there were all kinds of people here in Mordu, and this place was c
“Return my daughter to me! Redeem my justice!“It’s so unfair! Making a parent bury their child!“Impose sanctions on the murderer, Harvey York!“Could one just do anything they want with money these years?!”Giant banners were pulled out, each with big bloody words written on it.Moreover, a series of short videos of Miwa Fujihara and the scene where she was being taken down by Harvey previously was projected on two other giant screens.All those gimmicks immediately attracted the attention of many people. Many Chinese and foreign tourists even unconsciously took out their mobile phones.After all, everyone naturally liked to watch the fun, which was the biggest excitement.Soon, a couple of aunties started to shout using the megaphone, “Give us justice! Give my daughter back!”The shouts kept on coming and sounded sorrowful.Meanwhile, many more aunties were crying while holding the portrait of Miwa Fujihara and began to distribute leaflets around.Soon, the matter spread
The faces of Kait Walker, Aiden Bauer, Rachel Hardy, and other people at the scene changed simultaneously. The other party was about to make a game-winning move, instantly exposing Harvey York’s identity.However, the consequences would certainly be catastrophic once Harvey’s real identity was exposed.Swish!Just when the atmosphere of the place became extremely intense, suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from not far away. Then, everyone saw piles of banknotes falling from above the surrounding arcades.Not sure who was the one who reached out his hand and took the money that got onto his face, he then shouted in the next moment.“Money!“It’s money!“Yes! A lot of money!”The crowd who was initially watching the fun went into a frenzy. Everyone just rushed over crazily after seeing the money falling like snow from the sky.Meanwhile, who would still care about the news? Who would still care about the truth? Who would still care about Harvey’s true identity?Including
Meanwhile, Katie Price regained her image of being a shrew, and she could not wait to go and deal with those aunties who had failed miserably.For this kind of thing, it would only be the most effective the first time. Once they failed, the government would not allow it even if they wanted to do it again.After finishing cursing under her breath, Katie looked up at Yvonne Xavier. She looked at this woman with looks and figures that even women would envy.Yvonne stepped forward and lit an incense for Miwa Fujihara. However, she did not kneel and bow. Instead, she walked to the opposite of Katie and sat down on her own after honoring the dead. “Madam Price, people can’t come back to life after death. I’m so sorry about Miwa, and I offer my condolences.”“Thank you for your concern, Miss Xavier.”Katie obviously knew Yvonne. At this moment, she waved her hand, gesturing the people around her to leave, and then said calmly, “Miss Xavier, you said you have a deal for me. May I know wha
Yvonne Xavier said indifferently, “If Madam Price doesn’t care about such things, then let me talk about a few things that you would actually care about.”Yvonne then took out a few more documents, but those documents were all transfer records.“These accounts should be your offshore accounts, right?“Before your daughter’s accident, several sums of money were remitted into these accounts through different channels. Although every sum of money did have the status of a transaction, I have carefully verified that the so-called transactions were all false transactions. Someone sent this money to you through money laundering.“The money is not much. It’s just 31.5 million dollars. But I really don’t get it.“How could you sell your daughter for just 31.5 million dollars?“Later, I accidentally learned that the huge gambling debt of 450 million dollars you owed in Las Vegas a year ago has been settled. Only then, I got to know that your daughter’s price was also quite high.”Yvonne t
“I’d have to admit that you have a good daughter, Madam Price!”Yvonne Xavier spoke eloquently.“It’s just that I’m very curious, won’t you be wide awake at night after eating a roll dipped in your daughter’s blood?“You don’t have to deny this matter in such a hurry, Madam Price.“This is because your look, your eyes, and your movements are telling me…“That you know the entire truth.“If you don’t know, then the first thing you should do at this moment is to choke me to death instead of listening to me talking here.“Right?”Katie Price’s expression slightly changed, and she said coldly after a moment, “Yvonne, if you think my daughter set up Harvey York, you could just bring the documents in your hands to appeal and clear up his suspicion!“You don’t have to talk nonsense with me here!”Yvonne replied earnestly, “The documents in my hands were obtained through abnormal means, thanks to countless favors and relationships.“The provider will not testify about this and will
Katie Price suddenly sneered and replied in a deep voice after seeing Yvonne Xavier talking eloquently, “You’re indeed from the line of the two families among the top ten families, the Xavier family of Wolsing and also the Smith family of Mordu. You’re certainly extraordinary, and even your imagination is much more vivid than ordinary people!“But I still have to tell you that I really don’t have the so-called evidence that you want!“As for the documents that you just produced, even if they are useful, do you think it’s enough to kill me? Let alone they are useless.“If you want to send me to court, you have to send me back to Island Nation!“The law of the great Country H can not warrant me!“As for if things come to light, do you think I would care if there is anyone who would insult me?“I’m a widow with a dead daughter. Why would I care about this?“If it requires me to lose a bit of reputation so that the murderer who killed my daughter would have a tragic end!“I think i
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
"Kill him? Why should I?' Dan pulled out a long cigar and lit it up. After a huff, he puffed out a ring of smoke. "I've just received news that Vaida has gone crazy, and she's sure that Harvey was the man of her destiny. That way, once he leaves Grand City, she would die of depression or kill herself. Looks like I can become the mayor soon. The Hierophant didn't lie to me…"-There was no difference between the day-and-night cycles within Grand City and the world outside. When the sun finally set, Grand City was lit brightly, enticing everyone to enter.Harvey, who had been trying to send a sliver of his energy into Vaida, walked out of the room. There was a hint of fatigue on his face. He thought that it would be ineffective to do that. But he did not know why, after sending in his energy, Vaida managed to recover somewhat.Other than still being somewhat unstable and sure that Harvey was her man of destiny, she was slowly regaining control. Harvey felt a bit strange, but all he c
Harvey suddenly remembered something when he saw Vaida returning to her deep sleep. "I heard that Grand City doesn't have a mayor right now. Then, what's going on with the previous mayor?"Geoffrey sighed and answered, "After the Hierophant prophesied Vaida as the third incarnation of Grand City's progenitor, he had left Grand City to find a way to deal with this. A decade… He's gone for a decade, and no one has seen him since then. That's why everyone believes he's already dead. That's why the seven families agree that Grand City has no mayor right now."Harvey frowned. "Then, what about Dan?"Then Geoffrey replied, "Dan is the mayor's final disciple. But the old mayor had only taught him for less than a year before leaving Grand City. According to the city's rules, if Vaida is killed, Dan will become the leader of the Belladonna Cult. And he will also naturally become the mayor of Grand City."Harvey nodded. He had learned some more things. Vaida was indeed part of the Belladonna
According to Geoffrey, Vaida's condition was precarious. While no one was targeting her, she might jump into the sea on her own again at some unspecified time.A condition like that was very difficult to deal with. No matter what was torturing Vaida, Harvey believed that it might not be within his power to help her."Have you realized that Vaida seemed to be opening herself up to you in the final moments? She even fell into your arms," Geoffrey remembered something else. "Do you think her condition would improve if we simply continued with this? Of course, I know you're in love with someone else, so I am not imposing on you. But can you please stay with her as much as possible while she's in Grand City? This might stabilize her emotional state."Neve also nodded continuously. She could tell that Vaida's condition was severe and complicated. If Harvey refused to help, she might attempt to jump into the ocean again as soon as she woke up.Harvey was speechless and heaved a sigh. "You
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
