Harvey York realized that it was almost six o’clock in the evening after looking at his phone.Since he was resting, his phone was set to silent mode.Leslie Clarke called around a dozen times, but Harvey did not pick up at all. She might have gotten into trouble.That said, Leslie should be able to find where Harvey was.It would be extremely embarrassing if Leslie could not even find a single person given her status and power.Harvey put on a change of clothes before opening the door.Leslie was seen wearing a short black Chanel dress in front of Harvey.Even though she had short hair, the black dress still brought out her sexy and exotic aura.Even Harvey could not help but take another glance with a look of approval.“I was about to call for room service, Ms. Clarke. You should come and have a meal with me.”Harvey ordered some food without reservation. After the food was brought over, he grabbed a bite while he asked, “What happened?”After being in dead silence for a w
Eight o’clock at night, in an office building at the outer ring of Hong Kong.This place was the Clarke family’s property. The annual rent of this place was already terrifying.Other than that, there was a hanging garden on top of the building. The garden was evergreen. It was truly an extraordinary sight.This was the place where the Clarke family put in most of their strength. Because of the temporary meeting, Leslie Clarke was assigned here at the moment.In that case, Leslie would have the confidence to handle things smoothly if anyone were to try anything or cause a huge ruckus on the spot.After Harvey York reached the office building in a van labeled 00001, he calmly looked at his surroundings.Even though it was already nighttime, the place was still bustling full of people. Many white-collar workers could be seen walking around the streets.Harvey squinted for a while.“This is a really good spot! Truly a good place to earn a fortune!”“You’re too kind, Sir York. This
Harvey York was surprised.“He’s from the Bauer family?”Leslie Clarke nodded.“That’s why we’re in a bit of a bind. Not only is he from the Bauer family, but he’s also in the same generation as the master of Longmen himself. Even the master would need to call this man his big brother,” she said.Harvey smiled after hearing those words.“Interesting. So, the vice head of Longmen’s law enforcement is the big brother of the master of Longmen. This is getting a little complicated…“But Carrie Kennedy’s clearly trying to use the big brother as her tool!“She knows that I wouldn’t bat an eye to the Law Enforcement of Longmen. If she really wants to make peace, she should just give up.“But since she’s making Haider Bauer come to Hong Kong, that means she’s using his identity to take me down!“It’s a shame that Carrie’s just too inexperienced. If people like Haider can suppress me, I would’ve died countless times already.”Harvey seemed indifferent.“This lady of the Kennedy famil
After hearing those words, Harvey York calmly asked, “He worked for The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets?“The eldest princess of their royalty doesn’t even matter to me. Obviously, I couldn’t care less about a subordinate like him taking advantage of his seniority.”Harvey kept walking after he was done talking.Soon, the two had arrived at the hanging garden through the dedicated elevator.The place was nearly six thousand and five hundred square feet, covered in lush plants.A guest room of about two thousand square feet was located in the middle of the garden. Well-known calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls, while traditional carved golden-silk phoebe wood furniture was arranged all over the room.The entire place had an exquisite and ingenious look to it. It was indeed a rare sight.But at this very moment, the place was a huge mess.Countless priceless couches and coffee tables were smashed to pieces. Shards of cups could be seen scattered all over as well.
“You can’t be disrespectful toward Sir York, Longmen’s branch leader, Carrie Kennedy,” said Elmer Evans.He froze over slightly after seeing Harvey York and Leslie Clarke before recognizing their faces.Even though it was not their first time seeing each other, he had naturally read Harvey’s documents since he was there to support Haider Bauer. At the same time, he knew that the true master had arrived.Elmer showed a warm smile while looking at Harvey.“This man is the legendary Branch Leader York. It’s also said that he’s the prince of South Light or something. He’s quite the character!“A man like him isn’t someone that you mere people from the Law Enforcement of Longmen can challenge!”It seemed like Elmer was reprimanding Carrie, but he was not trying to blame her either. Elmer was talking with a gloomy tone at this moment.He pointed out Harvey’s identity, but he had no intention of respecting him whatsoever.Naturally, for him, the title of some prince of South Light or
Naturally, in Elmer Evans’ eyes, with his appearance and Haider Bauer’s support…Judging from Elmer’s power and background in Hong Kong and Haider’s authority, it would be as easy as squashing an ant if they wanted to kill off Harvey York.But no matter what, it was imperative that they finish up business first. This was most important.Leslie Clarke smiled after hearing those words.“That’s true. You two asked us to invite him here. You can’t just waste this opportunity by fighting each other, right?“How about we talk business first?”Haider’s rage seemed to have quelled a bit after a while.Then, he squinted at Harvey and pointed at him at that moment.“You’re lucky, Kid! You better thank Elder Evans and the Clarke family for stopping me…“If not, I would’ve slapped an arrogant young man like you to death!“Hundreds of pompous young people like you have died in the hands of my Thunderclap these years!”Haider then showed his dark right hand with a proud look.“Alright. E
“I also know full well that Maki Takei could’ve killed you, but you used the Longmen’s name to suppress him before you snuck up on him while he wasn’t paying attention to you!“You’re shameless, Harvey York! Where are your morals?!Haider Bauer furiously pointed at Harvey.Harvey froze after hearing those words before looking at Carrie Kennedy with full interest.Before looking away, Carrie and the disciples behind her showed gleeful gazes toward Harvey. Nobody dared even to look him in the eye at that moment.Obviously, Carrie lied about the truth for Haider to show up.She never said that Harvey took down the entire Takei family with just a swing of his sword.She never mentioned anything about Harvey killing off a dozen of their men with just a single kick, Maki included…But she did find an excuse saying that Harvey used Longmen’s name to suppress the family.If Haider was not told that, he might have been too afraid to show up, knowing that Harvey was the one who killed o
Before long, Haider Bauer made a gesture, and then his subordinates stepped forward. With the sounds of metal scraping, the subordinates unsheathed their swords while glaring at Harvey York furiously.Leslie Clarke’s expression immediately worsened after seeing the sight.“Vice Head Bauer, nobody can take away my badge since it’s passed down to me by the master of Longmen himself,” reasoned Harvey calmly.“Besides, do you really think that I should just apologize to them?“What right do they even have for me to do such a thing?”“What? You think you’re some hot shot or something?”Haider’s face darkened.“Let me tell you something, Harvey. I’m already being respectful to the master of Longmen by not breaking your legs and throwing you straight to the Island Nations!“So, stop pushing your luck!“Maybe I have a better temper now that I’m old. If I were younger, I would’ve taken your head and your family’s life by now!”Haider was boiling with anger at this very moment, as if h
Harvey did not waste his breath and immediately dashed to the woman's side and immediately bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood on her forehead. After Harvey had done that, the woman's condition seemed to have improved slightly, and she also stopped shaking."Where's the knife?!" Harvey asked one more time. After some hesitation, Blade gave Harvey the longsword he had. Harvey grabbed the longsword and then sliced open her palms, the soles of her feet, and then her back.Initially, Lanny and the others did not believe Harvey's actions would be effective. However, they soon noticed that as Harvey performed each action, the woman's twitching became weaker and less frequent.And then, the moment Harvey cut the woman's forehead, a talisman immediately flew out from inside.The talisman seemed to have a mind of its own and immediately attacked Harvey. However, just as it was going to reach Harvey's forehead, Harvey immediately stabbed the talisman using the tip of the sword onto t
Yamaraja's voice became gentler as he spoke to the nurse, "Don't be afraid. We have asked you to reveal who the murderer was from that night. Simply follow your heart. Once this is done, we shall do as we promised. We will help your family migrate to a place where no one knows you and give you enough to live the rest of your days peacefully."The woman took a deep breath and quickly nodded after she heard that. Then, she took a few steps in front and carefully observed the six masked figures who looked similar. After looking at everyone, her sigh quickly fell on Harvey. Then, she lightly said, "I think it's him. Because that night, when he spoke to me, he also looked at me with such callous eyes. They're still like water, and I couldn't feel anything at all…"Upon hearing the woman's testimony, all eyes fell on Harvey.Then, Yamaraja coldly asked, "Harvey, how do you plea?"Harvey smiled and removed his mask, then sat back down. "Are you sure the person you met is me?"The woman n
Harvey then took out his mobile, connected it to the court's system, and played a video. In the video, he was either reading a book or drinking from his cup. The clock and everything behind him could prove his whereabouts at that time."I also have documents from the country's reputable institutions that can prove the time, location, and date. They can also prove that my clip is unedited. This is my alibi. If you say that your video can prove I'm the culprit, then my video can refute that."Lanny could not help but yell, "Stop lying, Harvey! You're the one in the video!""Just because you're stupid doesn't mean we're all stupid," argued Harvey calmly. "If I really am going to murder Durandal, the first thing I'm doing is to take out the security cameras. Even if I don't, I should wear a mask, right? Not only did I not prepare anything, but I even showed my face before leaving so the camera could capture my face… Who would do something as stupid as this?"Lanny paused briefly, askin
"Very well. Since there are no objections… We shall begin the trial," the Yamaraja said as he looked at Mandy."Mandy. You are the operator of the underground fighting arena, are you not?""Yes," Mandy said as she nodded her head. "To be exact, the Ninth branch is operating the ring.""Good. Then, when Durandal took his men to your underground fighting arena and won hundreds of millions, is that why you hate him?" asked Justitia with coldness in her eyes. "That was true in the very beginning," explained Mandy. "You must have known that the Ninth Branch had some big issues regarding our cash flow, and we have been dependent on the underground fighting arena. In the beginning, when Durandal won so much money and provoked our guests against us, of course, I hated him."However, Harvey came and helped us later on. Not only did Harvey make him lose all the money he previously won, and then some. He managed to solve our cash flow issue because of that. Harvey even severed Durandal's ar
Harvey focused his eyes before sighing. "Does that mean I owe him one too?""Yes," replied Ethan with a heavy heart."Alright. Since I owe him one, and so did the entire country, then I'm going to get involved. Once the joint trial ends, I'll enter Grand City and find out the truth for his sake."After hearing that, Ethan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lanny and the others with pity. Those who framed Harvey were going to have a taste of their own medicine soon.Ethan believed that once Harvey entered Grand City, all the seven families would never be able to rest well ever again…The others did not know what was going through Harvey's mind. But when they saw Geoffrey appear, Samuel greeted him with a smile. As for Lanny, Clarion, and the others, they all sighed in relief, as if they had finally seen their messiah.It was five in the morning.It was the time when people succumbed to sleep the easiest and psychologically most susceptible.The joint trial officially began in the u
Harvey glanced at Lexie and spoke calmly, "Lexie, you're here to represent Dragon Palace, not HL Casino. When you're representing the casino, you can do whatever you want. But if you still act so willfully when representing Dragon Palace, what do you think will happen?"After hearing Harvey's words, Lexie responded, "Since I'm the wife of the leader of Dragon Palace, my husband will be able to shield me from whatever I caused. Just because he can't give me anything else, he can at least give me the right to do what I want, no?"Harvey smiled. "Then, I hope you can be as confident as ever."Lexie's figure quickly disappeared into the underground city. Jesse approached Harvey and nodded at him. "We meet again. But I'm not here to speak with you, so I'll make it short. I'll maintain the fairness of the law here. If you're innocent, then the person who framed you will be paying an unimaginable price. But if you're guilty, then I'll kill you before you suffer from too much pain before yo
At this time, Lanny was standing at the highest spot in the Forbidden Wasteland with her hands behind her back, but her mind was filled with helplessness.They were in huge trouble now!If only they invoked the Grand City's laws and rules, then they had a 100% chance of giving Harvey the guilty verdict. And if she managed to invite everyone on her list and everyone from the Four Pillars were their own, then she could still somewhat manipulate the outcome.But when Lanny was making her calls, she noticed that everyone important she managed to contact either immediately hung up on her or totally ignored her calls.Someone like her had always been able to catch the drift. And from these details, she could tell that while the Four Pillars might not stand with Harvey, they would be completely neutral when it came to dealing with this.If things develop that way, then the chances of convicting Harvey was a 50% chance.Lanny wanted to leave and get reinforcements from Grand City. But sh
"Dan! There's no need for you to be so pretentious and act like you're innocent!" Besides the sternness in Sienna's voice, her tone was sharp, as if she wanted to turn Dan into minced meat.Dan pretended to think about it a little before smiling, "Oh, don't tell me you're here for that Harvey? I believe an outsider wouldn't affect our relationship, would it?"Sienna coldly replied, "I can understand your fury when someone from Grand City died, and that person is your cousin. That's why I didn't stop you… I even supported you when you said you wanted to take Harvey away for an investigation. Because I believe that, as the Young Master of Parkerville, you will naturally learn everything you can about this."But I didn't expect that your sight could be so narrow… It is so narrow that it defies my expectations. You haven't even started the investigation yet and have already set up a trap for him? And you even drew the attention of the Sword Camp and the leader of Dragon Cell? You're rea
The Xaviers. Wolsing.Nashon was playing chess by himself. Sitting across him was Jesse with a grim expression. "I'll represent Dragon Cell to go to the Forbidden Wasteland this time. What are your orders?"Nashon's hand lifting a chess piece was stopped momentarily before saying, "What do you mean by orders? Dragon Cell represents justice in our country. Since we're attending it as part of the joint trial, of course, we need to be just and fair. Not only must we do this, but we also can't turn this into our weakness. Our relationship with Harvey is quite close. If there are any doubts in the verdict, not only will it be bad for us, but it will also be bad for Harvey."Jesse's expression was dark before he replied, "Is it possible for Harvey to actually kill Durandal?"Nashion calmly asked, "What are your thoughts?"At the same time, at the Yorks of HL Casino in HK City. Lexie had just finished bathing and putting cream on her body to exfoliate the dead skin. At this time, an old-
