When Vince York came out of the blue to cause trouble, Harvey York glanced at him with a cold gaze.Vince, who wanted to keep provoking Harvey, could not help but have his heart skip a beat.He instinctively looked at Jason Leo before an unbelievable thought came to mind.Jason’s face had completely lost all color. He reached out his hand while emotionlessly staring into Harvey’s eyes, then snapped his fingers once more.His mild hypnosis, which had always worked in the past, had no effect whatsoever. Nothing happened besides a bit more blood coming out of Jason’s mouth.Harvey calmly smiled.“No need to snap your fingers again. It’s useless.“Your mild hypnosis has no effect on me.”Jason’s expression frantically changed, as if he realized that Harvey had already seen through his tricks.He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Harvey.“If you’re going to accuse me of cheating, then you better show some solid proof!“I
Pure shock!The entire crowd was completely shocked!The Knights Templar that Jason Leo brought along were all frozen stiff while feeling extremely sluggish.One of them even slapped himself across the face a couple of times to make sure that he was not dreaming.Queenie York and the others stayed calm to lessen the impact of what just happened.The God of Gambling!This was the true God of Gambling!Harvey York had already planned everything since the very beginning!Jason, who had been talking big the entire time, was just a clown at this point!Even if he kept pressuring Harvey…Even if he kept forcing Harvey to add more cards so he would feel powerless…Harvey still managed to win despite all this!This was ridiculous! This was simply shocking!Jason immediately figured that Harvey might have been unaffected by the mild hypnosis since the beginning and that he was just acting the whole time…So Jason would pay a huge price.“An ace of spades?! Am I dreaming?!“We wo
Along with Harvey York’s words, two LCD TVs slowly descended.Mateo Leo’s matches were being played on the TVs.Every time he snapped his fingers, the opponent’s eyes would be in a daze before asking for another card. Everything could be seen in the footage.This was the biggest proof there was. Nobody would've seen anything odd if it was just a single footage.But since there was a lot of different footage, even an idiot would figure something out after seeing Mateo doing the same thing repeatedly.Jason’s match was played on TV soon after.Every time he snapped his fingers, Harvey would ask for another card. Everything was clearly shown to the people.The crowd gasped. They were completely shocked before showing derisive looks toward Jason.Jason immediately showed a horrible expression. He understood why he lost that day. Harvey had already seen through his tricks and planned around them beforehand.He coldly glared at Mateo. If it were not for the useless fool playing it s
Jason’s expression took a drastic turn upon seeing all the firearms pointed at him.He narrowed his eyes. Then, he laughed coldly. “So what if you win against me, Harvey?”“You want my life? Do you have the right to do that?”“As the baron of The Empire, the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, and a God of War, you have no right to take my life!”Mateo stood up furiously, his hand on the firearm strapped on his waist.“Protect Young Master Leo!”About twenty descendants of the Knights Templar stood up in an instant at his command, their eyes sharpened into fierce glares.They were quite capable, and every single one of them had the strength to fight ten people on their own.Even if Harvey had a lot more men compared to them, they were still fearless.Vince’s expression changed as well.“You insulted Young Master Leo at the table before, Harvey! This round doesn’t count!”“If you’re still going to cause trouble here, you’ll be going against me and the Yorks of Hong Kon
“Go!”Eighteen Longmen disciples went right after Jason upon Morgan’s command.Some of them wielded swords, while others wielded shackles. They wanted to put Jason in place before anything else.Harvey would have the final say as to whether Jason would live or die.Those from wealthy families immediately changed their expressions at such a sight. They knew full well that a big fight was about to break out.“Stay back!”Mateo took a step forward and took the safety of his gun off before pulling the trigger at the approaching disciples.Bang, bang, bang!Bullets flew out everywhere. The disciples didn’t have time to react and were all shot in an instant.Bang, bang, bang!When Mateo was done firing the round, he pounced forward and sent the disciples flying with his fists.In just a single moment, the Longmen disciples who took action were all beaten up.The remaining disciples showed utterly horrible expressions.They didn’t expect the Knights Templar to be this unreasonabl
“If you know what’s best for you, you’ll get as far away from here as possible!”“The so-called contract doesn’t count!”“Let me go, and maybe I’ll think of canceling the engagement between me and Queenie!”“You’ll get the top four families of Hong Kong to send half of their assets right to my doorstep, then put the Mordu Casino-Palace under my name! I’ll consider leaving their subordinates alive after that.”“I’m being extremely generous right now!”Jason’s expression was as cold as ice as he threatened Harvey.“Since you won, I’ll give you a chance.”“Don’t blame me for what happens next if you don’t do as I say!”Harvey narrowed his eyes at Jason.“I don’t care if you cancel the engagement or if you’ll bury the hatchet.”“Everything’s written in black and white right here.”“We have video footage too.”“Since you lost, you’ll have to acknowledge it and abide by the contract.”“But now, not only are you denying it, but you’re also trying to haggle with me.”“Have you lo
As expected, murderous intent could be seen on Jason’s face as he turned to glare at Vince.Harvey used the opportunity to push even harder.“You asked Jason to come back and go on with his engagement, so there’ll be no obstacles for you when you rise to power.”“I’m about to kill this guy, yet you’re here shedding crocodile tears?”“You… You b*stard…!”Vince was shivering in anger.He didn’t think that Harvey would shamelessly make him the scapegoat.Under these circumstances, there was no way for him to explain himself .Thinking back, Jason might’ve ended up this way because of Vince’s “hard work.”Jason’s eyes brightened in anger.“Stop trying to provoke us, Harvey!” he roared.“I won’t be fooled by your tricks!”“Do you know the consequences of going against me?!”“You won’t dare lay a single finger on me!”“I’m the baron of The Empire! I’m about to become the earl, to boot!”“I’m the deputy commander of the Knights Templar! I’m this close to being the commander!”
Jason and Vince froze at the sight.Mateo was a King of Arms!Even if they wanted to take down Mateo together, they would have to use all their might!If not, they would probably fail.Yet… Harvey sent Mateo flying with just a single slap!If Jason and Vince didn’t see it for themselves, they wouldn’t have believed it.Vince was already quite cautious of Harvey…But at this very moment, Harvey’s lethality shot to unprecedented levels inside Vince’s heart.“This is a Knight Templar? Your standards dropped quite a bit.”Harvey pulled out some tissue to wipe his hand, still calm and emotionless. Jason’s expression grew cornful, and he immediately took the firearm on his waist.“Do you really want to have a go at me, Harvey?!” he roared.“You of all people should know that I’m a God of War!”“If you really want to fight, a lot of your people are probably going to die here!”“It’s better to forgive someone than to pursue one’s mistakes, Harvey. Don’t burn bridges so quickly,”
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
