“I don’t know what kind of expert you are, but don’t you know that what you’re doing is extremely risky?” Harvey challenged, trying to control his temper. Daniel’s plan was nothing short of outrageous! “The only way is to pry open the car door right now and take off the seat belt as quick as possible, and then get Ms. Thompson out.”“But all that must be done in a span of three seconds!”“If the rescuer fails, he’ll get dragged into the river along with her!”“If you really are the expert you claim to be, you should be able to tell that this is the only way!”“The only way?”Listening to Harvey’s explanation, Daniel knew that Harvey’s way had some chance of succeeding, even if it may be a slim one.But a true man would not stand behind a collapsing wall. Daniel knew that this rescue attempt would affect his reputation. He refused to carry out Harvey’s plan. “From how I see it, your so-called ‘only way’ doesn’t even have a chance of succeeding unless you give up your life!”
To make things worse, they saw Harvey as someone who tried to gamble on a woman’s life for his own benefit!‘There’s actually someone who dares to toy with Ms. Thompson’s life! He must have a death wish!’Several beautiful women present were unable to hide their disgust. They glared daggers at Harvey, their faces twisted in scorn and contempt.‘This liar’s really overestimating himself! He’s actually trying to steal the limelight from a safety management expert!’“Even if you do follow his plan, he shouldn’t simply push the car bare-handed. Humans have static electricity in their bodies. There’s a possibility that he might ignite the tank once he touches the car…”Harvey reminded kindly, determined to press on. He really did not want to see the woman dying in vain.“Stop nagging, young man!” Before Harvey could even finish, Butler Thompson immediately cut him off and stopped him.“If you keep stopping us from saving Ms. Thompson, we’ll have to force our hand!”Upon Butler Tho
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone was losing their heads from sheer terror.Nobody imagined that things would escalate to this point.To say the situation was dire would be an understatement. Ms. Thompson could die at any minute!On top of it all, she had just woken up. To see herself falling to her death was nothing short of pure torment. “Think of something already!” Butler Thompson yelled desperately, grabbing Daniel’s collar forcefully.Daniel, however, was drenched in his own tears. The proud man from before was reduced to a pathetic crying wreck.“It’s hopeless! There’s no saving her!”“Call the firefighters! Hurry! Call them now!”“She’s going to die! You have to hurry!”Daniel almost passed out, crushed by the pressure. Because Butler Thompson was ready to take responsibility if he failed, he felt that he could shift the blame to the old man. Unfortunately for Daniel, nothing went as planned. The Thompson family from Wolsing was one of the top ten families
“Get out of the way! The car might explode again!”“Stay away from the car! Don’t get caught in the explosion!”It took only ten seconds for Harvey to emerge from the crowd. He stood before everyone as he yelled several warnings. “Someone lend me a pair of gloves!”A person from the crowd threw a pair of rubber gloves to the ground. Harvey did not hesitate and grabbed them quickly. He put them on both hands and dashed to the exploding Lamborghini.The crowd watched him and breathed a collective sigh of relief. Compared to Daniel, who was just showing off, they could tell that Harvey really was trying to save Ms. Thompson. Even in the most dire of situations, he did not panic and kept a cool head.“He’s not scared at all when facing danger. Now that’s a true professional—a true expert!”“Be careful, Mr. Expert!”“Stop trying to fawn on him already! Think of a way to move your cars away! The fire brigade’s about to be here!”“...”Harvey completely ignored the crowd, uncarin
Seeing Ms. Thompson’s terrible pallor, Harvey swiftly reached out and pressed his hands on her chest. He then blew air into her mouth a few times, uncaring of how inappropriate his actions may have appeared.Fwoooo!After a moment, the woman let out a small grunt before coughing uncontrollably.She coughed again, and blood came out of her lips. However, her breathing had returned to normal and she was no longer in danger.Harvey let out a sigh of relief at the sight. He then stood up and turned to Butler Thompson.“Alright! It’s fine now.”“Just in case, you should get her to the hospital for a check-up when the ambulance comes.”“Also, when she gets better, don’t let her drive fast cars. If she doesn’t know how to control cars with high horsepower, it’ll be easy for her to get into another similar accident.”“I understand, I understand! Thank you so much, Mister!”Butler Thompson nodded repeatedly, his head bobbing up and down without stopping. The high and mighty attitude he
“Oh, my savior…”Teresa Thompson sighed mournfully. She was anxious to catch up to Harvey before he disappeared, but after taking a few steps, she started panting loudly. The accident had left her so weakened, she could not run.“M’lady, you don’t have to chase after him.”Butler Thompson approached her and showed Harvey’s picture on his phone.“I just took a picture of him. Rest assured, M’lady. With the Thompson family’s power, it won’t be hard to find just about anybody!”“Besides, since he’s so capable, it’ll be easier to track him down.”Teresa let out a sigh of relief at her butler’s words. Since she was born and raised in a powerful family, she naturally had a sensible mind.“Butler Thompson, we must carry this out in secret,” Teresa whispered, narrowing her eyes meaningfully. “Either my savior has an extraordinary identity, or he has secrets that he doesn’t want anyone to know.”“If we try to find him, we mustn’t harm him.”“Don’t worry, M’lady. I know what to do,”
Harvey entered the hall. Inside were many ladies decked in jewelry and men clad in expensively tailored leather suits. They all carried the bearings of the rich.Simon and Xynthia were hiding in the corner of a room, looking very drained.Lucie and her son, on the other hand, were engaged in an unending shouting match with the angry car owners. “Pay up! Give us the money right now!”“So what if you live in a Fragrant Hill villa?! You think you can just drive into the regal villa’s parking spot and crash into our cars?!”“You better pay up right now!”“I don’t care who you are! If you don’t pay up right now, I’ll call the cops!”After listening to the chaos for a short while, Harvey came to understand the situation at hand. It was a known fact that every villa in Fragrant Hill had independent garages. As Nicolas had not been here before, he did not know.So, he ended up parking the Toyota Alphard at the regal villa’s parking lot which was across the street. In the process, he r
Lucie began jumping up and down furiously, agitated. She was already at a huge disadvantage while arguing with the angry regal villa residents. Then the ignorant driver, Harvey, came along to insult her!She wanted nothing more than to wring her hands around Harvey’s neck and choke him until he dropped dead.“Can you at least be a bit reasonable, Aunty Lowe?!” Xynthia suddenly spoke up. She had been silent all this time, until she could no longer hold herself back. “Since Brother Nicolas was the one who crashed into everyone’s cars, you should be the one to apologize and pay them what you owe! Why are you trying to mortgage our villa?! We didn’t have anything to do with it!”“Besides, the villa belongs to my Brother-In-Law…!”But before Xynthia even finished her sentence, Lucie’s eyes flashed slyly. The woman tapped her head, acting as though she had just remembered something important. “Oh my! I was so angry, I couldn’t think straight!”“Let me introduce everyone to this ma
Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite
The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik
Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether
Half an hour later, Harvey got into the back seat of a Range Rover after he packed a few sets of clothes. During this time, not only did he have to console Yvonne not to do something rash, but he also had to arrange for something else. He even had the time to order some pasta through delivery.While he still didn't know what Grand City had prepared for him, he knew that he should get ready. He had to give it his all this time. Grand City was not an opponent he could simply ignore.Once he was in the Range Rover, Harvey took the best seat that once belonged to Blade. He even adjusted the seat so he could sleep for a while.The next morning, Harvey woke up and downed a mouthful of carbonated water. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him from the car window. The car was already driving through an ancient forest. But because the car's performance was just that excellent, he felt like he had been driving on flat land.After taking a look, Harvey looked at Blade next to him. Blade's
"It's alright, Yvonne. Don't get mad. If you get angry because of something like this, then you've lost," Harvey said as he shook his head. He stopped Yvonne, who was on the verge of exploding."The people from Grand City have a way of doing things due to how they believe that they're better than everyone else. Not following their laws would ruin their reputation, so I'll go with them," Harvey said as he narrowed his eyes.He knew very well that this was a plot against him. It wasn't just about Durandal's death, it was also because he had offended Dan. The day Harvey became the representative, someone had already plotted against him. For everyone's sake, Harvey decided to make a move.While he wasn't afraid of Grand City, it didn't mean that everyone else wasn't fearless of Grand City either."Don't be rash…" Yvonne said, shivering. Harvey patted her hand a while and then looked at Blade's cold expression with great interest. "I can tell that you're not someone who lies and y
"Firearms?" Blade smiled coldly when he saw this, and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "There's something you probably didn't know, girl. All of my followers here are martial arts elites, and they're wearing the silk armor that Grand City produced. This armor makes them untouchable by blades or the elements. If you don't do anything rash, it's fine. But if you do, your men will die. Here's my advice. Don't get all of them killed just because of one person."And then, he commanded coldly, "Do it."Eighteen elites from the Enforcement Division took a step forward when they heard his command, looking calm."I don't believe that you're not afraid of a gun!" Yvonne grabbed a gun and pointed it at Blade.However, Blade didn't react even when faced with Yvonne's madness. He simply walked over to her, held the gun in her hand, and then pointed it at his forehead. "Come on. If you don't believe it, give it a try. Pull the trigger and see if you can kill me."Yvonne's eyes widened when
"You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'
The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th
After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
