After seeing Mandy’s driver acting so ruthless, several blondes clad in suits jumped out of the car that had been knocked to the side.They seemed a little sluggish, but then, they started shooting at Mandy’s car.Bang, bang, bang!After a barrage of bullets, the tire on the back was blown off.In an instant, the car swerved along the road, crashing into everything in front of it.The driver’s face had lost all color as he desperately tried to control the steering wheel, trying to make sure the car wouldn’t flip on its side.Lilian was so scared that her eyes had already turned white; she was on the verge of passing out.Xynthia was slightly calmer, but she was still extremely terrified.She had experienced quite a lot, but it was her first time getting chased down on a street.Mandy, however, had grown exponentially; she remained calm and exclaimed, “Get the people from the back to support us!”“Lock the car doors!”“Call the police!”The driver nodded. It was quite embarr
“Is he a King of Arms? A God of War, maybe?!”The leading knight of the Round Table changed his expression frantically after seeing his men drop dead one after another.He swiftly threw away his cigar before slashing his way forward.He unleashed the same Holy Cross Slash, but it was way stronger compared to the ordinary Knights Templars’ slash.Clang!The unknown man swung his sword, snapping the knight’s sword in half in an instant.Pfffft!While the knight was stung with disbelief, the man thrust forward and jabbed his sword into the knight’s throat.A horrified gurgle could be heard from the knight.His identity in The Empire was quite immense. He had been undefeated for most of his life, but now, he was killed in an instant without any remorse…Filled with resentment and disbelief, the knight fell to the ground paralyzed.Xynthia quietly looked through the gaps of her fingers while covering her face. She had been doing quite well within Mordu’s entertainment industry, s
“Good boy! What a good boy!”Lilian Yates seemed quite happy while sizing up Joseph Bauer. After thinking of the luxurious gift that Joseph gave previously, Lilian was more and more satisfied with her future son-in-law.She immediately pulled Mandy Zimmer out of the car.“To show you our appreciation, I’ve decided to go to Flutwell with you and my daughter.”“Of course. I’ll look forward to it…”Joseph’s eyes lit up instantly. After getting word that the Knights of the Round Table were planning to assassinate Mandy, he came here as quickly as possible.As he expected, this was an opportunity.“Come! Protect CEO Zimmer and her family!“From now on, they’re important guests of mine!“Whoever tries to lay a finger on my important guests will die without their bodies intact!”Mandy did not even have the strength left to let out a sigh. She wanted to decline Joseph’s so-called invitation, but she could not even utter a single word at that moment.After all, Joseph did bring his m
After listening to Edwin Mendoza, Harvey York nodded lightly before looking at his documents again.“So, what’s up with this Joseph Bauer guy?”After scrolling through the phone for a moment, Edwin then softly replied, “Joseph Bauer is the thirteenth descendant of the Bauer family, one of the top ten families of Country H. Everyone calls him the Thirteenth Young Master Bauer.“It’s also said that he’s one of the top candidates to become the head of his family.“There are two other candidates besides him, the eldest young master, Jeff Bauer, and the seventh young master, Harold Bauer.”Harvey frowned.“That’s it?”“Of course not. Throughout history, the head of the Bauer family always assumed another identity, the master of Longmen,” replied Edwin.“It’s the same for this generation as well.“Simply put, no matter who rises to power, other than becoming the head of the family, they’ll also be sitting on the Longmen’s throne.“That’s why these young masters had constantly been
Edwin Mendoza did not have to continue further. Harvey York knew exactly what was going to happen after that.Lilian Yates knew that Joseph Bauer was filthy rich, and he was interested in Mandy Zimmer. Judging from Lilian’s greed and narrow mind, since she thoroughly despised Harvey, she would do everything in her power to get Joseph and Mandy together.“Did you contact Travis Hunt? How strong is Joseph?” Harvey asked another question after thinking about the situation.Edwin bitterly chuckled.“Commander Hunt said that he couldn’t figure out Joseph, and he had quite a few Kings of Arms accompanying him at the moment.“There was no hostility from him, so he left as soon as he was done with his job as you asked.”Harvey nodded. He did not want anyone to know that he had a connection with Travis.But if he explained the situation to Mandy and the others, Lilian would think that Travis showed up with ill intent.At this point, Lilian must have treated Joseph like her son-in-law.
“Mandy…”A cold chuckle could be heard from the other side of the phone immediately after Harvey York spoke.It was not Mandy Zimmer’s tender voice at all. It was Lilian Yates’s unbearably sarcastic and evil tone that was heard.“Harvey, right?“I knew you’d call sooner or later, you shameless b*stard!“You’re going to tell me that you knew all about the attack and sent someone to protect us, right?”“It all happened though, didn’t it?” replied Harvey.“I don’t believe you, Harvey.“You don’t have to keep pretending! I know exactly what happened!”Lilian chuckled coldly.“You’re getting pretty damn cocky recently!“If nobody told me that you provoked The Empire’s fourth princess, why would a bunch of knights even come at me in the first place?! You almost got the better of me!“How are you this damn useless?!“You can’t deal with your own problems, yet you push them all to your wife?!“You even got an innocent woman like me involved!“Let me tell you something! I know ex
After hanging up the phone, Harvey York dialed another number. Edwin Mendoza showed up soon after.“Did you figure it out?”Edwin nodded.“I did. The people had mysterious identities and were already whitewashed through different sources. That’s why we don’t have enough evidence to prove anything here.“But, we can confirm that they’re from the Knights Templar. The man leading the group must be from the Knights of the Round Table.“The fourth princess probably planned the attack.“She has no way to go against our people in Hong Kong and Las Vegas, so she’s trying to threaten you using your wife.“What should we do now?”Harvey stood up before calmly replying, “I expected as much from her.“She’s not the type of woman to sit still.“She’s trying to divert our attention.“She didn’t manage to learn our manners, yet she mastered our art of war. What a shame…”Edwin frowned.“So…”Harvey smiled.“She has her strategies. I have my ways to deal with them,” replied Harvey calml
“So what if they’re strong?”The fourth princess was showing a horrible expression at this moment.“I made sure that Mandy Zimmer’s defenses were the weakest.“And other than us, there were also other people who were planning to get their hands on her.“How did we even fail if that was the case?!“There’s just no way!“The Knights of the Round Table are elites of the Knights Templar!“They have the strength of a thousand men each! They’re peak Kings of Arms! How could they have failed?!“It should be effortless to take Mandy down!”Unbridled anger could be heard in the words of the fourth princess.“Call them again! Tell them that I want to see Mandy, dead or alive!“If they still won’t give me any new information, I’ll show them my wrath!”The secretary nodded before swiftly dialing a number.After making a few phone calls, his expression worsened when he cautiously walked to the fourth princess’ side.“We have word, Princess. The mission failed.“The Knights Templar we
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
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
