In the next moment, a man in his fifties with well-kempt hair walked out.He was wearing a black suit with two fidget walnuts in his hand. An aura of an upperclassman could be felt coming from him at this moment.That man was none other than Flutwell Police Station’s second-in-command, Logan Bowie himself.After all, he was a government official. As soon as he walked out, he had everyone completely astonished.He ignored every single person who gave way while they were all caught by surprise.“You’re here, Uncle!”Before Logan could even see Harvey York’s face, Dylan Bowie’s eyes lit up instantly.He stumbled his way toward Logan and exclaimed, “Perfect timing!“An arrogant fool came all the way here to challenge us!“He even had the gall to hurt me!“I don’t understand where this outsider got all his courage from! How dare he go against the Bowie family like this?!“He’s completely insane!“I even told him my uncle’s the second-in-command of the Flutwell Police Station!“
“B*stard!“Which one of you dares go against me?!“Do you have a death wish?!”Logan Bowie was filled with violent rage.He lit a cigar and stepped forward before he locked eyes with Harvey York, who just came out of his car.The two stared at each other…Logan, who had his arms crossed while showing an extremely arrogant look…Trembled uncontrollably when he recognized Harvey’s face. His soul instantly left his body.Everything that happened in the Hatchet Gang’s base camp flashed through his mind.He never thought that Harvey was the one he was going against.“Harvey…”Logan gritted his teeth when he uttered the name. His knees were wobbling endlessly to the point where he was about to kneel.Logan was deeply traumatized because of what had happened before.He did not release Lilian Yates and Mandy Zimmer in time…That was why he planned to avoid Harvey at all costs.“That’s right, Uncle! That’s him!“Harvey!“This goddamn country bumpkin thinks he’s a hotshot!Dyla
Logan Bowie felt dejected. As Harvey York mentioned, Logan has not yet released Lilian Yates and Mandy Zimmer.He’s completely screwed!“Are you deaf, Logan?“Or are you going to show off your status in front of me again?Harvey crossed his arms while glaring playfully at Logan when he walked forward.“I’m talking to you here.“Do you have a problem or not?”Logan trembled.“No! Of course not!”He knew exactly just how ruthless Harvey was.Even though Logan was the second-in-command of the Flutwell Police Station…After what he went through just recently, he managed to find out Harvey’s identity the hard way.Unless someone from the Bauer family were with him, he would not dare cross him again.Besides, Harvey could not even be bothered about Joseph Bauer.What else could Logan use to challenge him?‘No?’Many people were shocked after hearing Logan’s words. Their jaws instantly dropped while they were still in a daze.Logan was such a prominent figure…But he would n
Logan Bowie would not even dare open his mouth.Harvey York calmly patted his face and said, “If I see you taking advantage of people like this again. If you go against me one more time…“I’ll kill you.”“I understand! I understand!”Logan frantically nodded, his face devoid of color, as if he were Harvey’s humble servant.The whole crowd went dead silent. Their bodies were all frozen stiff. They could not fathom anything that was happening in front of them.Dylan Bowie was also at a complete loss.Harvey calmly glanced at him and said coldly, “I told you so. Your second uncle won’t be able to help you either.“Ask him if he dares even to say a single word.”Dylan felt extremely parched. He wanted to get out of that situation so badly.Even such a prominent figure of the Bowie family was slapped in the face by Harvey.What else could Dylan even say then?This was just embarrassing…Harvey wiped his hands with some tissue and shifted his gaze toward Logan.“I’ll let you of
Dylan Bowie’s heart was filled with rage and resentment.His uncle was the second-in-command of the Flutwell Police Station!He had such immense status and powerful authority! Why was he scared of some nobody like Harvey York?Besides, the thirteenth young master of the Bauer family was supporting the family!So what if Harvey was a bit capable?There was no point beating up Dylan to please him, was there?The Bowie family had a reputation to uphold!If word were to spread about this…The family’s name would be tarnished entirely!Besides, Dylan might not have been scared of the person that Logan Bowie was!After all, he asked an expert from the Bauer family to support him just in case.“You’re still talking back?!Logan trembled in anger after hearing Dylan’s words. He slapped Dylan across the face before kneeling down himself.“Kneel!“Apologize to Sir York!”Dylan stumbled while covering his face.“I will never f*cking kneel!”Slap!“You still don’t know what you d
“You… You…Logan Bowie furiously pointed at Dylan Bowie and exclaimed, “You little b*stard!“I’m done with you!”Dylan let out a cold chuckle.“You’re done?!“You had nothing to do with me!“Let me tell you something! You were no longer my uncle when you kneeled, hit me in the face, and completely disgraced the family name!“I’ll even report this to the chief and make sure you get kicked out of the family for it!“I got you here to stand up for me! Not for you to embarrass me!”Dylan felt deeply ashamed when he said those words.Then, he pointed at Harvey York with rage showing on his face.“I’m not scared of you, Harvey!“You’ll be finished soon enough!“Let me tell you something! My teacher…“The vice head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement, Ezra Bauer, will be here soon!“I dare you to show off in front of him when he gets here!”‘Dylan’s teacher?’‘Ezra Bauer, one of the four vice heads of Longmen’s Law Enforcement?’Legends say that after Mitchell Bauer was ousted from
The beautiful women felt extremely haughty again.They crossed their arms while glaring at Harvey York disdainfully.Harvey would never be able to cross someone as prominent as Ezra Bauer.Only Aiden Bauer was playfully looking at those fools in front of him.‘These people are joking, right?’Harvey seemed indifferent. He also could not be bothered to explain anything to them.Though, he did not expect that there would be a surprise waiting for him that day.He was planning to deal with Longmen’s Law Enforcement sooner or later.Since the vice head was coming anyway…Harvey decided to settle the matter once and for all.Vroom!A few minutes later, a few Lexus LX570s drove right into the crowd before parking in front of Dylan Bowie and the others.When the car doors opened, thirty-six strong men in robes could be seen walking out.Stern and fierce looks were shown on their faces. Their movements were vigorous as they held their heads up high. At first glance, it was clear t
Ezra Bauer crossed his arms when he stepped forward.He was planning to head to Joseph Bauer’s place for some business, but he was suddenly called here.No matter what, Dylan Bowie was still considered a relative of the Bauer family. He was an outstanding student who also gave heaps of excellent gifts. It was only natural for Ezra to take care of the situation for him.After seeing the intense look on Ezra’s face, Dylan pointed at Harvey York while showing a miserable expression.“He took advantage of me, Teacher!“He thinks he can come at me just because he has some skill and strength in numbers!“B*stard!”Ezra’s face darkened instantly after seeing Dylan’s swollen face filled with palm prints.His student had been the one who took advantage of other people, and not the other way around!This was intolerable!“This useless filth which I called my uncle stood up against me too! He even demanded me to kneel in front of the damn outsider!”Dylan was furious. Those couple of s
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
