“Manager Anderson, what’s the matter? We’ve ordered since half an hour ago, and the appetizers haven’t even been served yet?“Are you mocking me?”Rupert Howell, who was eager to perform, stood up, showing the Omega Speedmaster on his wrist on the one hand, and swinging the BMW car keys on the other, and said condescendingly.“Dear young masters and ladies, good evening.”Mabel Anderson slightly smiled, but she did not even glance at Rupert. Instead, her eyes fell on Irene Johnson in the end after looking around the place. She smiled and said, “I’m so sorry, everyone.“I was just informed that this Heavenly Box has been booked by someone else.“Moreover, there aren’t any other rooms available at this moment. Could you please enjoy your meal in the hall?“I’ve arranged a table for you beside the restroom.“To show my sincerity, we’ll offer you a twenty percent discount for this meal.”Mabel smiled at this moment and said her purpose calmly.“Someone booked it?”Rupert was dis
Rupert Howell, who was still furious just now, suddenly became timid after hearing the two words, Kaitlyn Parson. He immediately sat down awkwardly, lowered his head, and did not even dare to speak any further.As for the other second generations, they exchanged glances with each other and did not know what to do.Kaitlyn Parson, not only was she the eldest young lady of one of the four top-class families in Hong Kong, the Parsons…It was also said that she was very close to Young Lord York of the Yorks of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, Vince York.Offending Kaitlyn was equivalent to offending Vince!The second generations there immediately chickened out after hearing Vince’s name. They did not even dare to offend him.“Ms. Johnson, now that you know Ms. Parson is coming, you should know what to do, right?”Mabel Anderson put up a meaningful smile and looked at Irene Johnson.“If there isn’t any problem, you may move to the table beside the restroom in the hall.“I’ll let someone se
Irene Johnson slapped her repeatedly to vent her anger, bruising Mabel Anderson’s face, and she kept screaming.“Is it because the Johnsons have always maintained a low profile these years? So, do you people think that you could casually insult the Johnsons?!“Is it because my grandfather is too kind? And that makes you think that we have no authority?!“Is it because you think you could cling onto the other masters, so you don’t have to respect us?!”Slap!“Get lost!”Irene’s last slap sent Mabel flying. “I’ll give you a chance. Pack your things and get out.“I’ll kill you the next time I see you in the Emerald House!”Mabel’s hair was messy, and her face was swollen. She no longer had the arrogance when she first entered the room.She was only left with unspeakable misery and embarrassment.Harvey felt indifferent. Instead, he just stared at Irene in admiration.As the eldest granddaughter of Branch Leader Johnson, if she acted cowardly, Harvey would instantly despise her.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Irene Johnson, what are you talking about?“Have you forgotten that the Johnsons only hold thirty percent of shares of the Emerald House!?“And we, the Parsons, hold forty percent of the shares!”Kaitlyn Parson brought her people and walked before Irene. She sized her up carefully and said indifferently, “In short, the Parsons are the true owners of the Emerald House!“Manager Anderson is the manager we hired!“Is she someone you can hit, insult, or even ask to leave?”Mabel Anderson instantly put up a condescending and complacent look on her bruised face when she heard those words.Apparently, she thought she could suppress Irene with Kaitlyn’s support.“You, the Parsons, are the owner?” Irene sneered, “Kaitlyn, I suggest you’d better go see a doctor first and let the doctor check your brain. You can come out again after that!“In case you become a shame right now and disgrace the Parsons!“Don’t forget that we’ve made things clear back when we transferred th
“Moreover, the Johnsons didn’t care about the affairs of the Emerald House over the years. And still, wanting to get the dividend of the thirty percent shares every year when you have done practically nothing?“I think you, the Johnsons, are taking this awfully easy!“Let me enlighten you. The dividends that belong to you are all in our hands!“Paying you fifteen thousand dollars every year is already doing you a favor!“If you are unconvinced, you can report to the police and sue us. I want to see who would suffer the humiliation as the matter escalates!”Kaitlyn Parson looked serious.“Really? So, the dividends that belong to the Johnsons over the years are in the hands of the Parsons?”Irene Johnson was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, “Then we truly have to thank you for helping us keep the money.“How about this? I’ll just charge a ten percent interest on the fee every year.“No matter how much money you’ve kept for us over the years, you’ll have to add a ten perc
The entire place fell silent.Who would have thought that the quiet Irene Johnson would become so intimidating when she was angry.Kaitlyn Parson glanced indifferently at Harvey York and then said coldly, “Okay, you’re treating him to a meal, right?“I’ll make someone drive him out. Then, you won’t have to entertain him, correct?”Kaitlyn sneered and clapped her hands while talking.Suddenly, the few towering bodyguards came forward, and a cold killing intent instantly spread out.King of Arms!They were the true Kings of Arms!They were specially sent to Kaitlyn by Vince York.Frankly speaking, all these matters about the Heavenly Box, setting up a table beside the restroom, and conflict with the Johnsons were all just a prelude.Things that happened today were all aimed at Harvey.Meanwhile, Vince also intended to test Morgan Johnson.He wanted to see whether Branch Leader Johnson of the Dragon Palace’s branch would really side with Harvey or if he was just faking it.“M
“Irene Johnson, since when did you have such a lackey?”Kaitlyn Parson said mockingly.“There are so many men in the Dragon Palace’s branch. Can’t you be content with them? You are still keeping a man outside?“Aren’t you afraid that you would disgrace the Johnsons if this rumor were to spread out?”She was here today to mess around with the Johnsons. Moreover, the matter even involved the tens of billions of profits of the Emerald House over the years.Thus, Kaitlyn wanted to use Vince York’s power to push this even further!After all, no one in Hong Kong and Las Vegas dared to mess with Vince.Things could turn awry, but she was not afraid of anyone.Irene’s expression turned cold. However, she did not get angry at this moment. Instead, she squinted at Harvey York.She wanted to see how the man her grandfather thought highly of would deal with this.“Kaitlyn, you should be grateful that this is a law-abiding society. You should also feel lucky that you haven’t done anything
“Ah!”Kaitlyn Parson was sent flying as she held her face, instantly slamming onto the door, convulsing in pain.A red palmprint appeared on her pretty face, making her facial expression twist in pain.However, she was more in shock and surprised at this moment.She was in a daze. She could not believe it.Although she knew Harvey York had crushed Carol Parker, Naoto Takei, and Carrie Kennedy…However, she still could not believe that Harvey would dare to trample her.This was because those people were just inextricably linked to Vince at most. Nonetheless, she was different. She was Vince York’s darling.Even to a certain extent that there had been rumors stating that she might have a chance to become his wife in the future.In Hong Kong, even the head of the top four families, the don of Briewood, and the head of Nanyang Gang would have to show her some respect.Who would even dare to hit her?However, what surprised Kaitlyn was that Harvey was indeed a troublesome perso
Mandy whispered, "If that's the case, you'll officially intervene in everything that has to do with Grand City. They have too many resources and too much power… I'm very worried if an outsider would suddenly intervene…"Harvey patted Mandy's head and said calmly, "Don't worry. In truth, from the moment I became the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, it's already fated for everything to end like this. Even if what happened today didn't happen, something else will. Since it's only a matter of time, other than to deal with them as they come, the best way to deal with this is to be on the offensive."It's fine. You don't have to worry too much. With my personality, even if I really do take over Grand City's three halls, I'll simply find someone else to take over for me and stay behind the scenes. If I do that, as long as Grand City knows what to do and not make an enemy of me, it's going to be a happy ending for everyone involved, right?"Mandy said nothing after that, and cha
Not only was Geoffrey the leader of the Universal Sect, but he was also one of the Seven Predecessors of Grand City. For him to be able to join this joint trial, it proved that he had a lot of power and could decide plenty of things. When Geoffrey saw Samuel dumping the biggest trouble on him, he took a deep breath. A faint smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.He looked at Harvey, who was enjoying the show thus far, and said, "Mr. Harvey, everyone here is demanding that I pass on to you all the power and organizations we have beyond Grand City. Are you interested in them? Allow me to introduce them to you. Outside of Grand City, we have three halls. Heaven, Earth, and Purgatory. They manage everything that is related to the Grand City outside of the city itself. Once you have these powers, you can never be separated from us…""I want it." Harvey didn't even finish for Geoffrey to finish and agreed to it. "As per the bet, I want all the authority. I will give Grand City seve
"Currently, Country H is a country ruled by law. It's no longer a country that is ruled by an emperor. In this era, even the ruler could be judged by the same laws as the commoners. It's an era when the law's justice must be preserved at all costs. If Grand City frames Mr. Harvey, then they can frame someone else next time. In order to prevent something like this from happening, it's time to rectify Grand City's status and special rights."Jesse and Specter were among the best of the young generations within the Four Pillars. While their words couldn't represent the current leaders of the Four Pillars, they represented the voices of the younger generation.And from how Samuel and Lexie said nothing, their silence also represented their attitude in certain circumstances. In this case, all Four Pillars wanted to remove Grand City's special privileges.Harvey narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He knew someone else was pulling the strings. Earlier, he thought it was either Dan, Emery,
Everyone in the court narrowed their eyes when they heard Lanny admit to it without any hesitation. Normally speaking, someone strong like her wouldn't admit to it so easily without waiting until the final moment and absolute proof of the crime.However, they grew suspicious when she admitted to her crimes so easily.Lanny smiled bitterly when she realized that everyone was suspicious of how quickly she admitted to the crime. "Mr. Geoffrey from Grand City is also here. What's the point of me saying anything that's so pointless? What else can I get by stalling other than to humiliate Grand City even further? I admit, Durandal's death made me furious. He was my best friend. Both of us grew up together and we have a deep bond."I was furious, and I also believed this had everything to do with Harvey! When I saw the evidence, I also felt that it was quite fake, but I still used the Soul-transference Technique that I managed to obtain from the Island Nation earlier on that nurse. My ob
Soon, Dragon Cell's men managed to find the security camera's recording. When the recording was put on screen, everything was decided. While they couldn't be fully certain that Lanny was the one who planted the Soul-transference Technique's talisman on the nurse, it could prove that the nurse wasn't lying.If that was the case, Harvey would have nothing to do with them—whether they decided to continue with the investigation on Durandal's death or proceed in another way they wished. "I suppose the case could be considered settled for the time being, right?" Samuel suddenly asked.Geoffrey slowly raised his head without saying a word and looked at Harvey for a moment. Then, he said, "For the time being, yes. As for how this investigation will continue after this… That will be up to Grand City ourselves. Also, I'd like to apologize to Mr. Harvey on behalf of Grand City. What happened so far is our fault."Neve subconsciously called out, "Grandpa!"While Harvey had already been pro
The entire court became silent after they heard the nurse's apology. The evidence had become useless, and the witness had become completely worthless. How were they supposed to continue with this case?Samuel suddenly asked curiously, "The Soul-transference Technique isn't something that can be used so easily. Its caster needs to personally feed you something as a medium. Consider carefully if someone fed you something in the past few days."The nurse gave it a thought for a while before saying, "No, I'm quite careful with my personal hygiene, so I don't eat anything anyone gives to me. But on the day Durandal was admitted to the hospital, she came by and said I look a little pale. She even told me to rest well, and opened a box of chocolate and stuffed one in my mouth. Seeing that she's quite pretty and clean, I didn't refuse her… But it feels like… After that time, someone else's voice seemed to be in my head…"Everyone instantly turned to Lanny when they heard the nurse say that.
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
