“Hoh! It looks like the badge does do something after all!”Harvey York chuckled before he stepped forward.He swung his palms around when he walked past the rest of the disciples. In just a moment, they were all slapped to the ground.Some had palm prints clearly showing on their faces, while others had their teeth fly out of their mouths. They wanted to destroy Harvey so badly at this point.They even believed they could end Harvey’s life with just a single punch if they wanted to…But they would not dare to go against him after he showed the Law Enforcement Badge.After all, the badge itself represented the status of the head of the organization itself.The badge was the symbol of the highest order!Dylan Bowie’s followers were completely shocked. They did not expect that they would see something like this in this day and age…The badge was clearly an ancient relic of the past, but it somehow suppressed the disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement.Dylan’s eyes frantically t
Before the crowd could react…Another shocking thing happened.Harvey took a step forward and ruthlessly slapped Ezra around.Slap!“This one’s for you tarnishing Longmen’s name!”Slap!“This one’s for you being unable to tell right from wrong!”Slap!“This one’s for you taking advantage of the weak!”“As the vice head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement…”“Not only are you not doing your job properly, but you’re acting as you please without restraint!”“If you won’t abide by the rules, then who in Longmen will?!”“Longmen has been governing Country H’s underworld for many years, and has achieved a lot of great things…”“But because of b*stards like you, all those accomplishments are reduced into nothing!”Harvey slapped Ezra’s face over and over again, to the point his face became as swollen as a pig’s.Ezra was an experienced fighter, but he wasn’t able to dodge the slaps. His body swayed all over the place as he endured all those slaps in the face.Everyone could tell just
After Harvey exposed his thoughts, Ezra gritted his teeth.“I am! I really am!” he exclaimed after a long while.“You say that, but you actually feel resentful, don’t you?”“You’re planning to find out my identity before coming for my entire family, aren’t you?”“You’d even dig up my ancestors from their graves and turn them to ash too, right?”Harvey smiled as he pointed out exactly what Ezra was thinking. Then, he kicked right at Ezra’s stomach.Ezra was about to react to the attack, but he was a bit slow since he was kneeling.His entire body felt weighed down, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer. Decades worth of strength and hard work was destroyed in an instant.His spirits were crushed along with it.He felt extremely powerless; his entire body collapsed onto the ground as he trembled uncontrollably.Ezra gritted his teeth, boiling with anger.“What did you do to me, you b*stard?!”“Nothing much. I only ruined all your training,” Harvey explained calmly.“People like
The two people were Mac and Logan, whose faces bore horrible expressions.In a way, they were still fine.Right behind them, Ezra and Dylan were both lying on stretchers.One was completely robbed of his strength and was forced to be an ordinary human.The other had all of his limbs broken. Nobody knew how long it would take for him to recover.However, Joseph’s emotions didn’t change much even after seeing all them.Instead, he smiled calmly and said, “Talk. What happened?”Logan’s eyes twitched.“Young Master, Dylan provoked Harvey by accident. After that, Dylan called both Vice Head Bauer and me to support him…”“Harvey brought out Longmen’s Law Enforcement Badge before crippling Vice Head Bauer.”“Crippled?” Joseph frowned.“If I remember correctly, didn’t you and Mac talk to him before?”“What? He won’t hand over his position and he’s beating up my men for it?”“He must be ready to go against me…”Logan looked resentful as he wiped the sweat off his head.“Young Mas
On the next day, early in the morning at the Flutwell Police Station.Someone sent over a note.The note stated that because of Kayden’s help, other than the fact that Lilian and Mandy were behind bars, they weren’t poorly treated.That said, since the two of them were still family, Harvey decided to go and meet them.Harvey signed a few papers in the police station’s guest room. Due to Kayden’s connections, the police didn’t make things hard for Harvey.After the police left, two women in prisoners’ clothing were sent to the guest room.Mandy, who was falling behind, looked quite miserable; her aura felt a little more distant than before.Lilian stomped in front with a pompous look.“I told you already!” she exclaimed smugly as she entered the room.“Even if there’s a problem, it’s the thirteenth young master who’s at fault!”“Tell him I’ll do as I promised! I’ll let him marry my daughter! The gold mine…”Before Lilian could finish speaking, she saw Harvey and froze immedia
“Let me tell you something!”“I don’t care if you’re a little capable now! In my eyes, you’re not worthy to have Mandy!”“Get us out of here if you can!”“Why even bother coming here?”“Do you want a consolation award or something?”“A country bumpkin like you has no right to cling to Mandy!”“Mandy’s going to marry the thirteenth young master!”“If you know what’s best for you, you’ll leave her as soon as possible!”“There’s nothing for you here!”Lilian was still planning to force Mandy into marrying a wealthy family so she could live the most luxurious life there ever was.In her eyes, she was no longer suited to simply be rich. She deserved so much more!“You’re daydreaming this early in the morning?” Harvey sneered.“You’re still dwelling in your fantasy of Joseph becoming your dear son-in-law?”“Are you even worthy?”Lilian screamed, “Shut up!”“Get out of here already! Stop ruining my plans!” Lilian exclaimed, a resentful look on her face.“Don’t try to push me!”
Lilian changed her expression frantically and screamed, “No! I don’t trust this little b*stard! He might just sell us out!”“When that happens, we’ll live the rest of our lives behind bars!”“Cut it out, Mother!”“Why would Harvey even do that?!”Mandy had a helpless look on her face.“He’s not that kind of person! How do you still not know him?”“If he’s planning to hurt us, he would’ve just left us here!”“Why would he waste time talking to us?”Harvey glared icily at Lilian.“What are you trying to do?”“Are you really going to wait for Joseph?”“Are you waiting for him to have a guilty conscience? Or are you waiting for pure luck to get you out of this damn place?”“Can’t you be a little more realistic?”“Who else is going to save you other than me?”After sizing up Harvey, Lilian chuckled coldly and sneered, “Wow! You know how to threaten me now, huh?!”“I don’t mind telling you that I do have a backup that can turn the tables in my favor!”“You can have it, but yo
Harvey couldn’t help but clap for Lilian’s unreasonable conditions.He didn’t think that Lilian could get much worse after not meeting her for a while.Harvey shrugged.“I don’t think I can do that for you.”“How about this? I’ll just bail Mandy out.”“You can sit here and wait for Joseph to get you out instead.”Having said that, Harvey turned around and started walking away.“This is too much, Mother! Just give it to him already!” Mandy couldn’t hold in her frustration any longer. She took a deep breath before speaking up.Lilian’s face darkened in an instant.“The gold mine doesn’t belong to you in the first place! Can you not be so unreasonable?!”Lilian was enraged.“What’s with the attitude?! I’m your mother!”“As long as you have nothing to do with this little b*stard, the thirteenth young master will fulfill his part of the contract!”“There’s no problem at all!”“Or are you saying you’re jealous of me, too?!”Having endured many days in jail, Lilian couldn’t h
"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
