Harvey spoke calmly, the faint smile on his face ever present.Noah froze momentarily before exploding with amused laughter. “Impressive! Very impressive!”“I forgot! Even I suffered quite a big loss in your hands!”“If Vince thinks he can take you down just by getting someone stronger on his side…”“Then he must be underestimating you quite a bit.”“With you around, it’ll be easy for Queenie to climb the ranks.”“He’s daydreaming if he wants you out of this place so easily.” Noah then poured Harvey some tea, lost in awe and admiration.Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind. Since Vince has Grandma York to support him…”“I’ll have to pay my respects as well.”“That said, I’ll have to think of a way to deal with her.”“Hahaha! I’m sure you’re more than capable of that.”Noah narrowed his eyes meaningfully.“Just deal with them the way you did to me last time.”“I’m looking forward to your victory. I’ll be supporting you from behind the scenes!”Harvey stared at Noah.“Ther
At Harvey’s words, Noah’s face darkened instantly.“You must be joking, Sir York,” he replied after a forced laugh.“A man like me won’t even think that far ahead!”“I already told Julian to stop entertaining such thoughts after finding out that Fourth Brother is supporting Queenie.”“I didn't have any other intentions when I called you here today.”“I’m only here to wish for your smooth sailing in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.”“After all, the third house is siding with Fourth Brother at this point.”“Am I wrong?”Harvey stood up and flicked the tea cup in his hand.A loud clang resonated, and a well-hidden gun barrel on the roof of the other building appeared instantly after.Someone was controlling the gun remotely using high-tech equipment.Noah’s expression changed frantically when he realized what had just happened.There was no hiding from Harvey at all!Harvey smiled softly at Noah before going up to pat the latter on the shoulder.“No one here is stupid, Third Lo
Noah took another sip of his tea before continuing to speak. “Judging from the current situation, the Yorks of Hong Kong are basically fighting against each other at this point.”“One side represents Fourth Brother’s forces. Out of the entire family, they have the most resources. They also wield the most authority right now.”“They’re only using the incident ten years ago as a pretense to take down Vince.”“Only then will Queenie be able to climb the ranks.”“Fourth Brother will stay as the lord of the family for a few more years.”“Meanwhile, the other side represents those under Grandma York.”“Do you really think she admires and cares for Vince without restraint?”“This isn’t true.”“Grandma York loves your eldest uncle the most, but why did she let your fourth uncle take position as the lord of the family instead?”“And even though Grandma York loves Vince, his values and abilities don't seem all too impressive to me.”“It’s all because he’s the eldest grandson of the Yor
“Alright! Enough talk.”Noah let out a sigh. After lecturing Julian, he changed the subject.“Even though your fourth uncle was the one who gave the order to raid the Island Nations…”“You and the Sentries of York were the ones fighting on the front lines.”“It’ll be greatly beneficial to you if you’re the one taking credit for this mission.”“I’m afraid you’ll have to talk to Harvey about this.”“If he’s willing to let you take credit for this, you’ll have a great achievement under your belt.”“Of course, if he doesn’t want to, don’t try to force him.”“Since we chose to side with your fourth uncle for now, we shouldn’t get on Harvey’s bad side either. Do you understand?”“I got it, Father. Don’t worry,” Julian said, smiling. “Actually, we’ve talked about this before.”“Sir York said he was just a supervisor, and that I was the one doing most of the work.”“He doesn’t care about any of it. The credit’s all mine.”Julian was grinning from ear to ear, pleased with himself
Noah shot an icy glare at the person who had just barged in.“How many times have I told you?!”“We need patience to achieve great things!”“B-But…”The man was in utter distress.“You useless filth!” Noah yelled.“What is it? Speak up!”The man hurriedly turned on his phone and showed them the news headline.“The important guest of the Yorks of Hong Kong and the city’s man of the hour, Harvey York, has raided the Island Nations and took down the culprit from the terrible incident ten years ago!”The title was only in a plain black text, but it was enough to shine the light on many problems from Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s current situation.Julian’s face instantly darkened at this.“That b*stard!”“That was supposed to be my achievement!”“Now everything’s ruined!”“Someone’s planning to keep me down my entire life!”“Talk! Who did this?!”Julian was boiling with anger, fury seeping out of his every pore. His calm demeanor earlier was completely gone.He was planning to
Kaitlyn’s tone was calm, but her words pierced through Julian’s heart like sharp daggers.At this very moment, Julian was forced into a corner.He wouldn’t dare admit that he wanted to take Vince’s place in front of the latter’s face.Even so, he couldn’t blurt out that he was scared of Vince in front of so many people. In the end, he kept mum and said nothing.The air between them was tense, the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife.Matthew and Quinton exchanged glances, smiling at one another as they watched the scene before them unfold. They knew their little tricks had no use to Vince, but…They were still hoping for a slim chance it might happen.If Julian could disrupt Vince’s circle and sow discord among everyone, they would probably get the opportunity to take Vunce’s position.Julian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.He narrowed his eyes at Vince before saying quietly, “It’s my fault for barging in here so suddenly, Young Lord York.”“How
Even though Julian had already made sure that Vince was the culprit behind the news headline through his sources…In his heart, he still clung to a faint hope.He still thought of Vince as a prominent figure with an open mind. Surely Vince wouldn’t resort to something this petty!Although Vince was most likely the person who did this, Julian still hoped that Vince would deny the claim.But Vince, who was being glared at so fiercely by Julian, shrugged and casually threw the laptop on the table.“That’s right. I did this.”“I was the one who told Hong Kong Daily News everything, details and all.”“Even the manuscript and title were reviewed by me.”“Oh, and let me tell you another thing. I bought out all the papers for today. All of Hong Kong knows about this by now.”“But it’s only natural. There’s no need to hide the truth now, is there?”Seeing Vince’s righteous smile, a hint of disdain flashed in Julian’s eyes.“Why are you doing this, Vince?” Julian asked coldly.“What
A prideful smile hung on Vince’s lips. He looked as if he was doing the right thing.Julian wanted nothing more than to slap Vince in the face, but he managed to hold himself back.Ellis chuckled at them from behind.“Let me give you another piece of information, Julian.”“Just now, the Five Royal Gates and the remaining Five Schools of Martial Arts have already gathered in Kyoto to hold an oath-taking rally in the royal palace.”“They’re going to seek out those who are involved in the Shindan Way’s incident. This time, they’re not going to hold back!”“This time, Young Lord York’s plans saved your life!”“You better thank him properly! You would’ve been dead if it weren’t for him.”“Even worse, the Yorks of Hong Kong would be chased down by the Islanders!”“Young Lord York had to clean up after your damn mess! He did so much for you…”“Yet here you are, questioning him.”“We’re disappointed in you, Julian!”Upon seeing everyone’s smug self-righteousness, Julian took a deep
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
