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
At this moment, Kaitlyn Parson no longer had elegance and nobility like before.Now, she was like a ferocious woman who kept yelling on the streets, just wanting to kill Harvey York.Following Kaitlyn’s orders…Some of the Kings of Arms sent by Vince York narrowed their eyes at this moment. They then took a step forward and instantly moved in front of Harvey.There were a total of four of them.Meanwhile, the four of them surrounded Harvey at the same time.The four attacked at the same time. Some caught Harvey’s hands, some held onto Harvey’s head, and the others blocked Harvey’s way.It could be said that the four of them had great teamwork, and they were unparalleled when it came to killing.Once their attacks landed successfully, even a God of War would vomit blood.Those four King of Arms who had great teamwork were similar to the Three Demon Monks of Thailand.They already had acquired the strength of God of War due to years of cooperation.The faces of Rupert Howell a
Kaitlyn Parson was boiling with anger at this moment.After Queenie York was brought down by Dragon Cell, she was the current queen in Vince York’s social circle.Everyone knew that she had a good chance of being the lady of the Yorks of Hong Kong.Her biggest threat would be the Maiden of the Five Virtues Temple, Teal Leithold herself…But Maidens of the temple would rarely marry people outside.That was why, after pondering over the situation, Kaitlyn figured that no one would be able to rob her of her position as the future lady of the Yorks.Recently, she had been calling herself that both intentionally and unintentionally.Even the social circle people saw the tide changing in her favor. That was why they were all pampering and respecting her at this moment.Even Vince looked up to her. He would bring her along wherever he went.Safe to say that no one would even dare to challenge Kaitlyn as of late…But, someone like Harvey was actually bold enough to do otherwise.If
Irene Johnson was afraid that things would escalate further after Kaitlyn Parson decided to call people here. She could not help but pull Harvey York back and say, “Forget it, Sir York. They’ve paid the price.”Harvey pulled the trigger before. Even though he wiped his fingerprints off, too many witnesses were around.If things were to escalate, he might have been thrown behind bars.Irene’s grandfather would probably blame her for poorly taking care of Harvey if that were the case.She did not want that to happen.She would rather let the matter pass than get Harvey taken away.Kaitlyn coldly chuckled after seeing Irene’s troubled look.She understood Irene’s attitude as being fearful and anxious.“What’s the matter? Scared?“Let me tell you something, Irene! It’s not too late to kneel!”As an impeccable look showed on her face, Kaitlyn became bold once again.“If you don’t kneel and apologize, you’ll get what’s coming for you!”“You…”Irene’s face was as cold as ice afte
Austin Bierstadt took his subordinates with him before they strode to the second floor of the Emerald House.He shoved the bustling crowd aside and came toward Kaitlyn Parson with a fierce expression.“Who dares to cause a commotion here in the Emerald House?! How dare they disrespect you?!” said Austin with a righteous expression.“What a joke!“How dare they?!“Don’t they know that you’re the queen of Hong Kong herself?!”Austin felt as if his skin was literally being torn off at this moment. He coldly glared at his surroundings.“Tell me who it is, and I’ll teach them a good lesson about the laws of Hong Kong!”Rupert Howell trembled as he moved to Harvey’s side.“Give up, Sir York!” he quietly exclaimed.“Austin’s a fighter for the Parson family! He owns the outer ring! He can do anything he pleases here!“A character like him surely has connections with the government and underworld alike, maybe even the military force!“Along with his unreasonable attitude, even the r
Slap!Harvey York instantly swung his backhand across Austin Bierstadt’s face.Austin was utterly stunned. He could not fathom what had just happened.His firearm was right on Harvey’s head, but he still dared to hit back…Was Austin being unclear?Or did Harvey still not know his place?Without a second thought, Austin screamed, “Look closely! I am the captain of the Outer Ring Police Station, Austin Bierstadt!“You’re suspected of breaking the laws of Hong Kong! According to the law, I can gun you down on the spot!“If you don’t want to die, then kneel!”Slap!Harvey calmly slapped Austin in the face once again.The slap sounded crisper than the last. The crowd turned downright sluggish after that.They were all left in utter disbelief.Kaitlyn Parson, especially, could not believe what was happening in front of her eyes.Nobody could guess where Harvey got his courage from…Austin’s firearm was fully loaded and pointed right toward Harvey’s temple.If Austin were to
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
