“Why does it matter to you whether I take the position as the head of Law Enforcement or not? Why are you so agitated right now?”A woman in neat clothing suddenly came forward and looked down at Harvey.“You’re Harvey, right?”“You’re trying to reclaim your position as the head of Law Enforcement, aren’t you?”“Well, Vice Head Bauer told me to tell you something!”“He said that you’re no match against Davian!”“And that you should leave right now!”“And if Vice Head Bauer sees you, he’ll kill you on the spot!”“You hear that?! Vice Head Bauer’s willing to let you off the hook right now despite everything you’ve done to him!”“Are you still planning to send yourself to your death?!”Harvey only smiled.“Tell Vice Head Bauer that his provocation tactics are starting to lose their effect on me.”“Do you think someone like Davian can make me fight?”“He’s not even worthy.”“Since every single one of you wants me in there so badly, I think I should head back to bed now.”“I’
“I didn’t think you’d be too chicken to get in the ring.”“Oh? Do I look like a person who’s too scared to fight you?” Harvey replied with a lazy tone.“I’ve heard about you. You relied on the Nanyang God of War, Dean Cobb, to injure the previous head of Law Enforcement before showing up. You even crippled him!”“And now, you’re clinging to Kayden and that woman with you to show off!”“I have to admit…”“You’re pretty cunning. You have the talent. You’re pretty shameless, too.”“You tried to look for an excuse to leave because you know you’re no match against me.”“But it’s a shame! You went against someone that you never should’ve gone against in the first place.”“The thirteenth young master gave me the order to end your life right right here, right now!”A cold and disdainful look could be seen on Davian’s face.“But since you’re so shameless, I’ll let you off the hook if you beg for mercy and hand over the Law Enforcement Badge.”“I’ll give you thirty seconds to think ab
“Well?! Tell me!”“What should you be doing now for me to let you go?!”Harvey slapped Davian again, sending the latter flying.Being the top talent and the victor of the tournament meant absolutely nothing at this moment.Harvey never stopped slapping Davian, even when the entire crowd was watching. They were completely shocked to see the top talent’s face turning as swollen as a pig’s.Even Lydia froze upon seeing such a horrible sight.Davian was the top talent!He beat the champion with just a single slash!His swordsmanship may as well be unparalleled!And yet, he was completely useless in front of Harvey.Ezra’s eyes were twitching frantically at the sight.He was instantly reminded of the time he was slapped in the face that fateful afternoon.He could feel every slap Harvey gave Davian.Slap!Davian was sent flying one more time before finally smashing right into the ring.After struggling for a while, he spat out some blood before he stumbled off the ground.Ha
Looking at Harvey, who was calmly standing in the middle of the ring with his arms crossed…And Davian, who was kneeling with his back straight…The crowd went wild.The disciples felt like they were in a surreal dream.Harvey was able to take down Davian, the victor of the tournament. He was also the man with the Law Enforcement Badge, as well as the same person acknowledged by the master of Longmen.Since that was the case, his position as the head of Law Enforcement would be solidified.Lydia was dumbstruck. She glared at Harvey; she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t utter a single word.The people behind her, who had been ridiculing Harvey nonstop, hung their heads low. Their eyes were twitching. They were desperate to get out of the situation as soon as they could.The short-haired woman felt a tide of sorrow surging within her heart.She started to regret not clinging to Harvey.If she did that earlier, she would’ve been sharing the same honor Harvey was basked
No matter how resentful Ezra felt, he could only stare right into Harvey’s eyes and tremble.“Pleased…to see you, Head York!”He then hurriedly made a gesture.His trusted subordinates, who were unhappy about the decision, had no choice but to kneel on one leg after seeing Ezra’s actions.“Head York!”The disciples of Law Enforcement froze when they looked at Ezra and Davian kneeling in front of Harvey, who was holding the Law Enforcement Badge.They all slammed their knees to the ground immediately after.“Head York!”Everything was put to an end!…After dealing with Longmen’s Law Enforcement’s martial arts tournament, Harvey decided to let Rachel handle the clean-up.With help from Kayden’s men to take control of the Law Enforcement, as well Rachel’s strength and her trusted subordinates, everything was dealt with nicely.After heading back to the Hatchet Gang’s base camp, Harvey checked his phone to see if Lilian and Mandy had been released.After all, Harvey had both
After hanging up, Harvey took Xynthia to the Flutwell Police Station immediately.After going through the procedures to get Lilian and Mandy out of jail, Harvey provided his whereabouts last night to the police and evidence supporting his claim.After all, Ezra and Dylan were targeted because of him.To prevent the enemy from getting the police’s support, Harvey simply decided to defend himself first.Logan, Flutwell Police Station’s second-in-command, was confused but had no reason to decline Harvey’s testimony, especially when Harvey came here himself.When everything was all dealt with, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.While Harvey was waiting at the front door for Lilian and Mandy, Rachel and a huge group of people showed up.Other than lawyers, assistants, and bodyguards, there were a few familiar disciples of Longmen whom Rachel picked from Longmen’s Law Enforcement.Rachel was indeed quite talented. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to restructu
Harvey kept Jordan in the back of his head after seeing the two walk out. “You’re fine now,” Harvey said after taking a step forward.Mandy nodded lightly; she didn’t think that she would be released without a scratch after three days.She could only imagine the things Harvey did just for her to get out safely.“Thank you, Harvey.”Mandy let out a sigh of relief. Her eyes fell on Rachel, who was standing not far away from her.“This is…” “Let me introduce you. This is the executive CEO of the Hearthstone Corporation, Miss Rachel Hardy.”Harvey showed a warm smile.“As of right now, she has seventy percent of the company’s shares.”“Simply put, she has total control over Flutwell’s gold mine.”Mandy was shocked to hear Harvey’s introduction. She didn’t expect Rachel to be a talented woman as well.Lilian, who had not said a single word for the longest time, froze. Then, she tugged Harvey’s shirt.“You’re saying that this woman has seventy percent of the company’s shares?!
“What did you just say, you little b*stard?!”Lilian Yates was infuriated after seeing her once-obedient daughter rebelling against her.“Repeat it! I dare you! I’ll beat you till you die!”She hated Harvey York more and more then. Not only did he get Mandy Zimmer to side with him, he even made her younger daughter go against her.Everything was Harvey’s fault.Mandy rubbed her temples when Lilian and Xynthia Zimmer started fighting.“Enough. Both of you.“We just got out of prison. Can’t we have some peace and quiet?“Besides, do you really think that ridiculous contract can actually get you the shares, Mother?“Even if you did have it all, do you think you can take control of it?“There are so many wealthy families here in Flutwell. Do you think they’d let a woman with no background here control their very lives?“Those shares aren’t good for anyone! It’s a reminder!“People with no power will die if they get ahold of the shares!”Lilian coldly chuckled.“Fine! It looks
"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
