Having experienced so much in the past few days, Xynthia understood that her troubles were too easy for Harvey to deal with.Harvey smiled.“Mordu and Buckwood have laws.”“But… This place is just too special.”“There are laws here, but because of the place’s history, everyone thinks that power means everything.”“Since that’s the case, we’ll show our power.”“If not, we wouldn’t even be able to find a place to stay, let alone save your sister and mother.”“Right. Tell me what happened.”“Didn’t you come to visit Flutwell’s gold mine? How did your mother and sister get tricked into jail?”At Harvey’s questioning, Xynthia sat down and poured herself a cup of tea before she tried to recall the situation.“I remember now! Someone must’ve planned for all this.”“After the thirteenth young master of the Bauer family came to Mordu, he kept trying to court Big Sister. He gave a lot of luxurious stuff to Mother as well. She was completely dazed by all those gifts!”“Then, he invite
“Mother and Sister are being framed, Brother-In-Law!”“You need to save them!”Xynthia let out a huge sigh, worry coloring her face.Both Lilian and Mandy were born from luxury.They couldn’t possibly stand a life behind bars!Harvey tapped Xynthia’s shoulders and replied calmly, “We need to be patient.”“Someone’s clearly targeting us. This is too dangerous.”“Since that’s the case, we can’t afford to be reckless.”“I told Kayden to show up with his forces. Let’s see if we can get Lilian and Mandy out that way.”Xynthia froze.“The Hatchet Gang’s one of the Gang of Six, but they’re nothing to the Golden Palace and the Bauer family, right?”“Can we even use Kayden?”“We won’t know unless we try,” Harvey calmly replied.“On one hand, we’ll be able to test his abilities.”“On the other hand, we can see just how deep the waters here are.”Xynthia let out a sigh of relief after knowing Harvey’s arrangements.After pondering over the situation, she said quietly, “Brother-In-
“Don’t worry. With me here, Flutwell will be yours sooner or later,” Harvey said calmly.“But before that, I’d have to see your worth first, wouldn’t I?”“I can bring up anyone I want, but I can’t just choose some useless filth to support, right?”Kayden trembled after hearing Harvey’s words.He had seen Harvey’s true power. If this man was willing to bring Kayden up…Maybe the Hatchet Gang would become the head of the Gang of Six.Kayden was immediately exhilarated.“Right. Since the second-in-command isn’t here yet…”“Why don’t you tell me who that person is instead?”Harvey signaled Rachel to refill the pot of tea and then casually leaned into his chair.Seeing that Harvey wasn’t angry, Kayden replied respectfully, “His name is Logan Bowie, Sir York.”“Bowie? Is he a distant relative of the Bauer family?” Harvey asked, his interest was piqued.“That’s right. He’s Dylan’s uncle.”“The Bowie family isn’t considered a top-rated family, but because of their relationship wit
“The Bauer family?”Harvey chuckled. He didn’t expect that someone from the Bauer family would get themselves in a situation like this publicly.“Where are they now?” Kayden asked instinctively.“In front of the door. Director Bowie looks a little angry, and he’s saying that you’re being too disrespectful to not welcome him outside.”“The other person from the Bauer family seems a little mad as well…”Kayden frowned.“Sir York. If my guess is correct, the person here right now must be Elder Mac Bauer,” Kayden said quietly.“He’s a well-known person on Joseph’s side.”“He has a very good relationship with many of Flutwell’s government officials, too.” “This time, he came here under the request of the thirteenth young master.”“It’s going to be a lot more troublesome than we first imagined.”Harvey raised his cup and said calmly, “I don’t care who they are. I won’t give them any respect if they decide to show off in front of me.”“Tell them to come inside.”“They don’t des
“You b*stard!”“Who the hell are you?!”“How dare you talk to Elder Bauer like that when you’re this damn young?”“Who gave you the courage?!”The woman glared coldly at Harvey after hearing his insulting remarks at Mac.“Do you have a death wish?!”The others glared furiously at Harvey and Kayden as well.A fight was about to break out at any moment.“Don’t be rude, Lydia!”Mac squinted at Harvey before he froze.Seeing that Harvey remained seated and Kayden respectfully accompanying him on the side, Mac started looking at Harvey in a different light.At the same time, he understood that this was the man who wanted to see Logan.After reprimanding Lydia, Mac squinted at Harvey.“I don’t know where you came from…”“But somehow, you managed to make the head of the Hatchet Gang work for you.”“You must be pretty impressive!”“Are you too strong? Or did Kayden grow more and more useless by the years and managed to get himself beaten?”After hearing that Harvey was Kayden’
“Elder Bauer, Director Bowie. Please calm down…”Kayden’s eyes were twitching frantically when he saw that the meeting was on the verge of collapse.After being in the underworld for so long, this was his first time seeing things unfold in such a way.“Please! Show some respect!” he exclaimed with a pleading look on his face.“Focus on the big picture!”Bam!“Respect?!”“You dare talk to me about respect?!”Mac stood up and slapped Kayden on the face.Kayden’s face immediately became swollen. A hint of rage flashed in Kayden’s eyes, but he could only swallow it down when he recalled Mac’s identity.After all, the thirteenth young master and the Bauer family were supporting Mac. No matter how powerful Kayden was, he was no match for them.He forced his anger down and showed a warm smile instead.“Elder Bauer, Director Bowie. You two came this far to talk, right?”“You wouldn’t come here just to fight!”“We’ll all look terrible if word about this spreads!”“Please. Let’s
“Do you want me to be the state witness?A faint smile was written on Harvey York’s face.“You’re deeply mistaken, Director Bowie.“I won’t do such a thing.“But, I’ll definitely bail them.“I’m giving you one hour.Harvey raised his hand to look at his Rolex watch with a calm look on his face.“If I don’t see them after that…“Then, I’ll make this contract a reality.”Harvey clapped his hands soon after.Rachel Hardy brought out a few pictures of a contract and slammed it in front of Logan Bowie and the others.Logan’s face instantly darkened after seeing the pictures.This was the same contract Lilian Yates had brought with her.But this should have been with the police. How did someone manage to sneak out pictures like this?Without hesitation, Logan coldly glared at Kayden Balmer.Only he was capable enough to do something like this on Harvey’s side.After all, he was the head of the Hatchet Gang. It would be as easy as pie for him just to get a few dirty cops to ta
“You…”Logan Bowie almost coughed blood from his mouth because of Harvey York’s words.He figured that a man who dared to go against Flutwell Police Station would be some powerful outsider…But he did not expect that the man would be this domineering.He did not even care to bat an eye at Logan!Right when Logan was about to take action, Mac Bauer showed a warm smile and said, “Harvey, right?“It’s better to make friends here, you know?“I know a little bit about you as well. After all, I’ve read your dossier…“The Jean family’s live-in son-in-law, Sky Corporation’s Prince York, and the head of Law Enforcement of Longmen. Am I wrong?”Logan gasped after hearing Mac point out Harvey’s identity. He was in utter disbelief, especially after hearing the identity of the head of Law Enforcement.He never expected that Harvey was actually this powerful.Mac made a gesture telling Logan to calm himself down.“But Sir York, you should know…“You only got this far because of the mast
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
