“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
Harvey York chuckled while waving his hand, stopping Rachel Hardy from doing anything.Then, he showed a faint smile while looking at Logan Bowie.“Let’s not talk about whether I’ll accept your conditions or not.“Even if I did, what’s the point of you giving me this money?“Are you trying to disrespect me? You think you can humiliate me like this?”“What? Are fifteen dollars not enough for you?”Logan showed a cold look.“I’m already paying my respect for a Longmen’s servant like you!“Don’t you realize that everyone from Longmen is just servants for the Bauer family?!“You’re all just dogs!“I already gave you enough respect! Stop trying to exploit it already!“Let me tell you something! If it weren’t for Elder Bauer being here, you wouldn’t even get the damn money!“You’d even have to pay me a hundred and fifty million dollars as a mental anguish fee!Logan wretchedly laughed after.“And if you don’t do that, I’ll throw you behind bars so you can stay there for the res
“Aaaaagh!”A horrible scream came out of Logan Bowie’s mouth.The shattered wooden table and his face full of splinters made the second-in-command look extremely miserable.He tried his hardest to struggle, but Harvey York was still grabbing onto his hair. There was no way for him to move out of the way. He could only stay put while quietly accepting his fate.The whole crowd was shocked by the sight.Many people were at a loss. They could not fathom what had just happened.Nobody thought that Harvey would be this ruthless!Not only did he not care about Logan’s identity, but he also dared to slam Logan’s head on a table in front of the entire crowd!He was utterly disrespecting Logan at this moment!Mac Bauer came to his senses and started screaming, “You little b*stard!“What are you doing?!”“How dare you lay your hands on Director Bowie?!” exclaimed Lydia Bauer.“I’ll kill you!”Lydia pulled out a longsword before charging right at Harvey.The other eight followers sh
Logan Bowie’s entire body was trembling incessantly. The moment his face was patted, the sharp pain instantly brought him back to his senses again.He managed to calm himself down before he burst out in anger.“You b*stard! How dare you touch me?!“You’ll regret doing that!”Slap!Harvey York wasted no time and held onto Logan’s hair as he swung the back of his palm across his face.Along with the sound of a resounding slap, another bright red palm print was showing on Logan’s face. He gritted his teeth while his face was swollen like a pig.“B*stard! How dare you hit me?!“I won’t let you get away with this!”Harvey sighed.“Don’t you understand the situation you’re in?“I’m genuinely curious. How did you even survive this long?“How did you manage to get yourself in your current position?“You don’t even know what kind of situation you’re in!”Harvey swung the back of his palm across Logan’s face. Blood immediately spurted out of his mouth while the other side of his fa
“I order you!“Apologize to Director Bowie!“Right now!“This instant!“Immediately!“Kneel!“Compensate for the damages!“And accept your punishment!”Mac Bauer took a step forward!A terrifying aura was instantly exuded when a stone slab on the ground shattered!“If you don’t do exactly as I say, I’ll kill you!”Harvey York merely smiled.“What? Are you going to take advantage of your superiority as well?“Do you think you’re worthy?”Mac’s expression darkened in a split second. With his identity as one of the elders of the Bauer family, no one has ever dared to go against him.“You b*stard!”He took a step forward and charged right at Harvey after hearing the insults directed toward him.He even used his Eagle Claw move, prepared to pierce Harvey’s head with his bare hand.Mac was at least reasonably capable of being considered an expert.But right as he leaped forward, Rachel Hardy, who had been nearly invisible during the entire conversation, stepped forward and
“No matter how powerful you are, you’re still just a servant for the Bauer family!“Harvey York!“Rachel Hardy!“You’ll pay for what you’ve done today!”Rachel smiled without giving a reply. Her master was a man who could easily kill off Gods of War.He was a man who had total control over Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Mac Bauer was nothing compared to him!He had no right to threaten Harvey!“Regret?“We’ll pay for this, you say?Harvey stood up and walked toward Mac with a playful look.“Since we’re here…“I do want to see how you’re going to make me regret what I’ve done.“What sort of price are you making me pay?”Before Mac could even react, Harvey swiftly slapped him across his face.Since Mac was an experienced fighter himself, he used all his might to block the attack immediately after sensing Harvey’s attack.But before he could even raise his arm, he felt a sharp pain on his face when he blacked out. His whole body was sent flying before smashing right into a wall.
“The thirteenth young master?Harvey York coldly chuckled while he walked forward before he patted Mac Bauer’s face.“Who does Joseph Bauer think he is?“You say that Longmen belongs to the Bauer family?“Tell that to Samuel Bauer. See if he agrees with you.“See if the Elder Group agrees with you.“See if the thirty-six branch leaders of Longmen agree with you.“Let me tell you something. Even if they all do, I, the head of Law Enforcement of Longmen, do not!“All of them serve me!“Other than Samuel himself, I’m the one with the highest position within Longmen!“And if Samuel doesn’t know how to behave, I’ll kick him out myself!“This is my status within Longmen!“You don’t mean anything to me!“It’s funny you don’t even realize that, yet you’re here trying to show off in front of me?“Who gave you the courage to run your mouth here?“Who told you I’m just a servant for the Bauer family?“Do you even have the right?“Are you even worthy?“Or are you saying you can b
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
