“Calm yourself, Ms. Thompson,” Cheryl replied slowly after a moment’s hesitation.“We weren’t outmatched by Harvey. He came with support, and we weren’t ready for him yet.”“We only lost because we were careless!”“I’ve heard everything about him already. There’s a reason why he’s able to mobilize so many people this time!”“That man seems to have some tricks up his sleeve. He dealt with Benjamin’s geomancy problem in his mansion, and then saved Senior Horan’s dear granddaughter…”“Because of these little tricks, he was able to get their support!”“However, favors don’t last forever! You of all people should know, Ms. Thompson.”“Does a nere live-in son-in-law really think he can trample all over us with just a few favors, especially when he has no standing in Mordu?”“He was just lucky!”Cheryl then took a deep breath.“Not only did Harvey offend the Xaviers of Wolsing, but he also went against the Thompsons.”“He even provoked Island Nations’ Shindan Way!”“He also angere
While Alice and Cheryl were planning their revenge, Harvey got Aiden to clean up the mess.Harvey made way to Mordu International Hospital, which was near the airport.He sat on a bench in the hallway, his eyes narrowed at the emergency room not far away from him. He was quietly waiting for the results of three people.The poison inside Mandy and Xynthia was already gone, but their bodies were still extremely weak. They needed to be hospitalized longer for more thorough observation.Kait was not heavily injured, but she was in deep shock after she almost drowned. She too needed to stay for the time being as well.Thank goodness Justin was at least smart enough to send Kait to Edward Hospital. If he didn’t, Harvey would’ve gotten another headache.Harvey wasn’t too worried since Oskar was in charge of their operations. However, he was quite unnerved after everything that had happened the same day.If Harvey hadn’t been fully prepared, he would’ve been completely defeated by Hecto
In Lilian’s eyes, Hector left because Harvey slapped the man. The young master’s temperament and generosity was quite apparent when he simply left rather than getting angry and going after Harvey.At the same time, he was also showing his respect to the Jean family.But this filth, Harvey, found an excuse to put Lilian’s two daughters in danger. He then used the Jean family’s name to show off!‘People like him should just die!’Lilian’s fiery eyes bore into Harvey as newfound hatred filled her body.If looks could kill, Harvey would’ve been dead a thousand times already.Simon glanced at Harvey, his face as dark as night. He too wanted to say something, but he ultimately stopped himself and simply frowned in disdain.Harvey raised his head and narrowed his eyes at Lilian. However, he had no intention to fight back.“Do you know who’s the one who gave the poison?”“Do you understand why I headed to Pothole Hotel for an explanation?”“Do you even realize who exactly is behind
Seeing that Lilian and Simon were slightly depressed, Lucie gritted her teeth and pointed at Harvey once more.“When did you see Young Master Thompson leave Mordu, anyway?”“Besides, even if Young Master Thompson was the one giving the orders…”“He only did it because of you!”“If it weren’t for you ruining the date and slapping him…”“Why would he do something like that in the first place?!”“No matter what, you have to take all the responsibility!”“Leave right now! Immediately!”“We’ll take care of Mandy and Xynthia!”“I beg of you. Sign the divorce papers and leave Mandy alone, alright?”Lucie brought out another divorce paper and threw it in front of Harvey.Naturally, she and Lilian already had a lot of copies prepared. They weren’t afraid of Harvey tearing the papers.Lilian, who seemed a little calmer than before, returned to her senses. She rose and glared furiously at Harvey.“Exactly! Lucie’s right!”“No matter what, it’s all your fault!”“Get out of here alre
“Branch Leader, how is your wife?”“Is she doing alright? Are there any injuries?”“Nothing too problematic. With Senior Armstrong there, it won’t be too much of a problem,” Harvey replied calmly.“As for Kait, I’m afraid Senior Armstrong can’t be here for the time being.”“Please take care of her for now, Vice Branch Leader.”Justin managed to regain his calm. At first, he was worried that his daughter didn’t even have a place in Harvey’s heart and was just a plaything…But after hearing those words, Justin was relieved.Bang!Right as everyone was busy talking, the door of the sickroom was suddenly kicked open.Dozens of men in uniforms swarmed in.Their murderous intent was dense and thick in the air.Justin and the others froze, intimidated. These men’s faces were cold, and they looked ready to kill. Thud, thud, thud!Crisp footsteps could be heard from afar. Several more men clad in military uniform walked in.The man leading them was tall and handsome, and looked q
“Good eye!”Teagan kept his stare on Harvey, his face filled with arrogant righteousness.“Since you know that I’m from the Bauer family, I’m sure you can guess my identity.”“I am the vice commander of Mordu’s Steel Arm Camp!”“I don’t care who you are, but you better not show off in front of me.”“If not, don’t blame me for drawing my weapon against you!”“How can you be this unreasonable?” Harvey said calmly, glancing at Teagan and the military behind him.“The military is trying to get themselves involved with civil affairs?”“You’d bully the civilians just to support your dear princes and young masters?”Teagan snarled. The righteous look didn’t leave his face.“Stop spouting nonsense, Harvey York!”“You should know that the Steel Arm Camp is considered one of the top nine military forces in Country H!”“My commander is Philip Steele. He is Mordu’s top God of War in the military force, the Iron Golem!”“If you go against me…you go against the Steel Arm Camp!”“That m
Four men in uniforms approached Harvey, their firearms in hand. From afar, a few snipers aimed their rifles at Harvey’s head, ready to take the shot at any time.Teagan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Grinning, he then dialed a number.“Sister Alice, I did as you asked. Would you like to come see for yourself?”“I’m sure the sight of an arrogant prick being humiliated will cheer you up for a couple of days, at the very least.”“Alright! I’ll be there shortly!”A crisp laughter could be heard from the phone.Before long, Alice and Cheryl strode in the hospital ward with bright smiles. Both were dressed in Givenchy short dresses that highlighted their curves.When the two saw Harvey turned into a prisoner after acting so arrogantly in Pothole Hotel, the delight bloomed on their faces.They thought that they would need more preparation before they could crush Harvey once and for all.Yet, revenge came so soon!‘Young Master Thompson already planned everything, after all!’‘S
After ten minutes or so, the clacking of high heels could be heard outside the ward. A woman in a black suit walked inside, her face fierce.She looked elegant and sophisticated, but a distinct aura of an Islander could be felt from her.This woman was none other than Ishikawa Yukiko, the representative of Island Nations’ embassy.She wore an icy-cold expression. Disdain was written all over her face as she scanned the ward.Naturally, Yukiko wouldn’t even want to step foot in a small place like Edward Hospital if she didn’t need to.Teagan smiled after seeing Yukiko.“Representative Ishikawa.”Alice and Cheryl both hurried forward.“Sister Ishikawa! You’re here.”Yukiko ignored the chaos at hand. She wielded a righteous look and demanded haughtily, “Ms. Xavier, Ms. Thompson. Did you call me here to tell me that you’ve apprehended the murderer of our noble guests from Island Nations?”Cheryl grinned lightly.“That’s the man who did it, Sister Ishikawa. That’s him! Not only d
Jackson's eyes narrowed when he heard what Clarion had said, but he said nothing else. He gave Harvey an apologetic smile and then ordered his men to temporarily take Harvey into the prison at the back. While it was nothing more than symbolism, Blade knew that Clarion simply wanted to use this chance to disgust Harvey.Just when Harvey was going to be taken away, Clarion pulled out his mobile and dialed a number. Shortly after, the door was once again kicked open with a bang.Then, Durandal's companions appeared with anguished expressions. They were led by a long-haired man and a woman in a face mask. Once they entered the courtroom, the woman removed her mask. She was so sorrowful as if her husband had passed away.As for that long-haired man, while he had lost a finger and had his hand bandaged, there was a malevolent aura coming from him."Mandy! How could you kill my fiance?! I'll kill you!" The woman was instantly filled with rage the moment she saw Mandy. She immediately ran
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
Durandal had to be dead. There was no mistake about it. And this had nothing to do with Parkerville and Grand City. They also found incriminating evidence regarding Harvey's "attack" on Durandal and the evidence fit.Who were the ones who wanted to target Harvey that badly? And why? Why did they want to make him an enemy of Grand City?Harvey's expression was severe as he thought about that. Could Evermore be behind this despite not appearing for so long? If that was true, what relationship did Evermore and Grand City have?Harvey glanced at Lanny when he was thinking about those questions and said, "Whether it is your Enforcement Division or the Forbidden Wasteland, all of you are smart people. None of you are fools. Can you really not see that there is someone else interfering with this? Or have you already seen it but didn't want to admit it and tried to kill me using this opportunity? "As long as you're not the one setting me up, after you killed me, you'll then cry a tear of
To Lanny, as long as the city could convict Harvey, he would become someone she could do whatever she wanted to him. That was why she was in no rush. She could make Harvey regret ever getting born once he was convicted since there was no need for her to drag herself into this, even if she wanted to kill Harvey."Prosecute me?" Harvey could not help but laugh when he saw how Lanny looked like that was how he would end. "I can leave here openly in less than 24 hours. I wonder how you'll look afterward.""Do you want to leave? Dream on." Lanny glared coldly at Harvey. "I'm going to show you the evidence that will damn you. In the hospital where Durandal was killed, we found security footage. In that footage, it clearly showed you killing Durandal and the entire process… It even got your face. A young nurse in the hospital could also prove that you were the one who killed him."In short, we had both witnesses and evidence. Harvey, I understand what you were thinking. Did you believe we
"Fool!" Lanny's expression became even darker after hearing Harvey's words. In Grand City, she was akin to a goddess. Countless people wanted to pursue her romantically. But Harvey said that she belonged to the streets? That was not something she would stand for!The moment that thought crossed her mind, Lanny cried, "Slap him! Slap him until he can't speak!"All the men and women behind Lanny prepared to put their firearms on Harvey's head once they heard Lanny's orders. Some of them even pulled up their sleeves. It was obvious that they wanted to slap Harvey. And from the looks of it, they would not stop until Harvey's face was swollen.Looking at the scene, Harvey did not care much and simply looked at Lanny with intrigue. He was thinking that if Lanny's men touched him, then he would have a good reason to slap her pretty face into oblivion. While he would not usually hit women, some liked to cross the line.Blade suddenly stepped forward despite his silence when he saw how both
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
