“There’s no rush. We’re not the ones who want him dead. It’s Vince,” Harvey replied calmly.“If that’s the case, why should we satisfy him in the first place?”“It’s be good to use Jason against him anyway.”Edwin frowned.“But that guy’s a tough nut to crack!”“After he was locked up, he’s been laughing to himself the entire time, saying that we can’t do anything to him and that we’ll let him go the same way we locked him up.”“If it weren’t for you, Sir York, I would’ve gotten someone to torture him by now.”“That’s a God of War. You think torture’s going to work on him?” Harvey asked.“Even if we manage to stop his rage for now, we might unintentionally sharpen his will.”Queenie sighed.“I have to admit, that guy’s a total scumbag. That said, he’s pretty impressive to say the least.”“It won’t be hard to kill him, but it’ll be almost impossible if we want him to give in.”“There might be another way…”Harvey smiled before waving his hand, signaling Edwin to lean over s
While Queenie and Yoana were pondering about the situation…Inside Victoria Harbor’s flower shop…Squelch!Lexie was slowly removing the bullet lodged in Vince’s back.She then carefully stitched his wounds before putting her homebrewed All-Cure Medicine on him.Cold sweat dripped down Vince’s head, but the rage in his heart stopped him from even grunting. His eyes were set in a wrathful glare. “That b*stard!”“How dare he?!”“He turned Jason against you?!”“Is it out of his mind?!”Cory slammed a laptop to the ground, shoving it in front of Vince.Footage of Vince being pursued was shown on the screen.“Is Jason insane?!”“Doesn’t he understand who his allies are?!”“I can’t believe he’s turning against you just because of Harvey!”“Does he think we won’t kill him because he has The Empire’s support?!”Cory’s expression was constantly changing as he yelled in anger.He was worried about Vince’s injuries, but at the same time, the current situation was making him anx
While Cory and Lexie were carefully laying out their plans…In the cold wind of Hong Kong, an unexpected guest showed up before the dimly-lit garden villa.Because of the wind and rain, the heavily guarded place had become a little lax in terms of security.Inside the main building, only a few people could be seen roaming around. These were the elite guards of the garden villa.After most of the guards had been taken away by Marcel, not a lot of people were left in the building.A mixed-race man in a knight uniform emerged from the shadows.The firearm in his hand was equipped with a silencer. As he trudged forward, he quietly destroyed all the surveillance cameras along the way.At the same time, he roamed the villa to make sure there weren’t a lot of guards around. Then, he sent out a signal.Minutes later, several men in the same knight uniform showed up with swords in their hands. They walked into the main building with menacing steps.Their movements were extremely light.
The elites already had their firearms with safeties off beforehand. Red dots shone on Rozak and his men before they realized what was happening.At least four dots could be seen on every single knight.The fierce knights were now so scared, they didn’t dare budge even a single inch.They knew full well what those red dots were.If they did anything stupid, they would no doubt perish once someone pulled the trigger.One of the knights, however, didn’t believe that the York elites would actually take action.He rolled to the front and pounced at Selena, ready to capture her alive.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Countless bullets quietly rained on the knight; bullet holes could be seen all over his body.Cold sweat drenched Rozak’s back. A member of the Knights Templar was turned into mush right before his very eyes!The smell of blood filled the air, making the place completely dense. Rozak and his men’s intention of fighting their way out was immediately squashed as well.“I just bo
“I have to admit! Even though that fourth princess of yours is just an outcast, she’s still pretty ruthless!”“The moment she got word that she lost Jason, she didn’t even hesitate to launch an attack.”“It’s a shame that she’s going up against Harvey.”Selena felt quite a bit of admiration toward Harvey as she spoke of him. Naturally, she was more and more content with her future son-in-law.Rozak’s face turned horrible after hearing Selena’s words.He took action only half an hour ago. Everything had been decided on the spot. It was clearly a stroke of genius…Yet, Harvey managed to see through the entire plan.That man even deliberately set up a trap just for Rozak!A hint of fear pulsated in Rozak’s chest; the same fear he felt on the Euro-American battlefield.Rozak was so terrified by the ancient eastern country, he couldn’t even hold his firearm…“Drop your weapons,” Selena said calmly.“I’m getting old. I don’t like killing.”“That said, it doesn’t mean I won’t kill
“Kneel and beg for it,” Harvey replied, calm.“If you do, I’ll give you a chance to save them.”‘Kneel?!’‘Beg?!’Everyone was shocked to hear those words. Even Fabian, Morgan, and the others, who were having breakfast with Harvey, couldn’t stop their jaws from dropping.‘What’s going on?!’‘Did he just say he wanted the fourth princess to kneel?!’For a long time, The Empire was the strongest country of them all.Even though the fourth successor of the throne probably had no chance sitting on the throne, her status was still immensely powerful.When the fourth princess traveled on behalf of The Empire, she would still be treated like the leader of a nation.The citizens and even royalty would pay their respects to her.Some would even write an entire speech a month prior, just to say a few words in front of her.Everyone would be terrified to offend the fourth princess and The Empire.Yet, Harvey demanded her to kneel and apologize.This was no longer a challenge.This
Everyone was baffled over the turn of events.When Hong Kong was once ruled by The Empire, even the governor would have to kneel on the side of the street just to welcome the princesses…Yet now, Harvey was the one demanding The Empire’s fourth princess to kneel!To top it off, he looked as if this was just par for the course. He hadn’t shown not even an ounce of respect to the fourth princess!Not only was her pampered ego being rightfully bashed, but The Empire’s royal family was also being ridiculed.At this very moment, the fourth princess was boiling with anger.At the same time, she knew full well that Harvey was forcing her into a corner.If she knelt, she would end up in Harvey’s hands sooner or later.And if everyone were to catch wind of what happened, her reputation within The Empire would be completely tarnished.“How dare you insult me, you b*stard?!”The fourth princess was utterly enraged.She let out a cold shrill laugh before kicking Harvey’s dining table.
“Let’s not talk about stuff that far ahead…”“After you tried to assassinate Lady Judd with your men last night, I should just end your life with a single slap right now.”“And I guarantee you that The Empire won’t even dare make a single sound after you die!”“Do you want to try?”Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice.The noble status of The Empire’s royal family meant nothing to him.“For the sake of Princess Victoria, I’ll give you one more chance.”“You either kneel, or you get out.”“Choose yourself.”“You’re beyond arrogant!”A blonde member of the Knights Templar screamed, unable to hold back his anger anymore.His companions were already sent flying, but after seeing his princess being humiliated, he gritted his teeth and stomped forward without hesitation.The Knights Templar were sworn to protect their princess. They would never sit and watch as their princess was being put down.“Roosevelt! Stand down!”The fourth princess, however, immediately stopped her su
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
