Jordan Bowie was confused.Since he was quite a brutal person, he pulled out an elegant-looking firearm from under the seat and kicked down the car door before taking his bodyguards and secretary with him.A crack was showing at the manor’s front gate. The smell of blood wafted from the inside.Jordan frowned before his expression changed.“Something’s wrong!“Take off the safeties of your firearms!“Go!”He kicked the door down before going inside. Weapons were scattered all over the ground with blood mixed splattered all over them.The door of the main hall was closed shut. Nobody could tell what was going on inside.Jordan was terribly anxious. He had a bad feeling about the situation.He furiously made a gesture before his people pointed their firearms straight at the main hall.“Who’s hiding around here?! Show yourself!“You’re late, Chief Bowie…”A calm voice echoed from the hall.Jordan let out a sigh of relief after hearing the voice.“Why are you in our manor, Y
On the next day, early in the morning. Harvey York was woken up by the ringing of his phone.When he picked up the phone, Rachel Hardy’s frantic voice could be heard from the other side.“This is bad, Sir York. The entire Bowie family was killed last night…”When Harvey showed up on the scene, people had already flooded the entire place.Other than the Bowie family’s relatives, many inspectors and disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement were also there.The entire city was in complete shock after such a big thing happened.It’s said that the upper social circle was enraged by the news. They accumulated millions of dollars as a reward for whoever could find the murderer.Rachel was standing amongst the crowd. It was not long since she came to Flutwell, but she had already started to blend in with the city’s upper social circle.She stood behind the crowd to avoid contact with anyone else and waited for Harvey’s arrival.Rachel walked forward as soon as she saw Harvey.“Sorry to
“How many people in Flutwell can do something like this?”“Not a lot,” Rachel Hardy promptly replied.“Other than the envoys of the Golden Palace, a few prominent figures of Longmen, and the young masters of the Bauer family…“Only a handful of people can do something like this.“Am I included in the list?”Rachel bitterly chuckled.“What do you think, Sir York?”“So, you’re saying that all the evidence points right toward me…”Harvey York merely smiled.“But, since they’re not conclusive enough, there’s no way to prove that I was the one who did it, right?”Rachel’s eyes twitched.“That is exactly why it’s troublesome, Sir York.“There’s no way to prove that we were the ones who did it, but we also can’t prove otherwise.“If we’re not careful today, we’ll surely have to take the blame for it.”Harvey squinted at the Bauer family before letting out a sigh.“Impressive move. They’d even sacrifice one of their pawns to kill me off…”Rachel looked in the same direction bef
“Everyone knows you have a grudge against Jordan Bowie!“You even threatened him at the police station yesterday!“Many people were there!“You thought he was too ruthless, so you decided to strike first!“That was why you killed his entire goddamn family!“And to humiliate him, you even forced him to kneel before you stabbed him!“You’re heinous!Mac Bauer was showing a righteous look.“Judging from this perspective, you are the murderer!“There’s no proof of that…“But, everyone has the same thought at this point!“You can’t run away from this!“If the law can’t take you down today, I’ll sentence you on behalf of the Bauer family!”The crowd was in an uproar when they stared at Harvey York, full of shock.The Bowie family’s friends and relatives were infuriated. The ones who trained in martial arts gritted their teeth in resentment. They wanted to skin Harvey alive so badly at this moment.Harvey calmly crossed his arms and glared at Mac.“Don’t try to spout any more
Mac Bauer squinted at Harvey York, as if he regained his courage before bursting out a laugh.“Do you hear that, Harvey?“My nephew actually has proof that you murdered the Bowie family!“You also have a motive!“What can you say to that?!”Harvey smiled faintly when he looked at Mac before squinting at August Bauer.“You have footage of this place?”“Why, of course!”August squinted back.He had read Harvey’s dossier before, so he knew just how troublesome Harvey was as an enemy.When he saw Harvey in person, he was shocked that such a young man would be this calm and collected.It was hard to imagine how a young man like this managed to deal with Davian Holt and rose to power.At the same time, Harvey’s various titles had made August a little resentful.‘What right does a man like this have to have such an immense status?’August believed that Harvey was the one who murdered his father-in-law’s family. August was able to inherit all of the family’s property because of t
Without a second thought, Rachel Hardy’s face darkened instantly.“Enough of this slander, August Bauer!“Show us the proof if you really do have it!”“Heh! What if you decided to destroy it once I show it to you?!”August squinted at Rachel. He knew quite a lot of things about Oliver Bauer’s top disciple.That was why he was showing a heinous look when he leered at Rachel’s nice figure.“This is solid proof! The murderer will have no chance even to refute this!August squinted.“You’re different compared to this man, Rachel. You’ve been Longmen’s top disciple since the very beginning!“Besides, didn’t your teacher die in his hands as well?“Yet, you’re still here standing up for him right now?“What will your ancestors think about this?”“Don’t try to lecture me!Rachel showed a cold gaze. She had no intention of showing any respect toward August.“What right do you even have to talk to me like this?“If I find out that you’re deliberately framing Sir York or that there
The footage was a little blurry, but Harvey York did show up in it.There were two instances of Harvey’s appearance. One when Harvey entered the Bowie Manor, and the other when he left.Before he left, he even showed a playful grin right at the camera.If Harvey were not sure that he was not the murderer, he would have actually thought that he killed off the entire Bowie family too, after seeing the footage.Rachel Hardy also frowned. This wasn’t decisive evidence, but it proved that Harvey did have the time to commit such a crime. Along with the motive, this could almost pass as irrefutable evidence.Mac Bauer burst out laughing after seeing the footage.“Look! There’s proof of your killing right here! What else can you even say at this point?!”“You claimed you didn’t do it, but who’s this in the footage?” said August Bauer calmly.Harvey calmly glanced at Mac and August, who were showing threatening looks.“Number one. I am not the murderer.“You’re all experienced martial
After seeing Harvey York’s casual look, Mac Bauer and August Bauer changed their expressions slightly.‘Was the person in the footage not Harvey?’ they thought.The two inspectors handling the case also changed their expressions.“Since you said so, we’ll call one of them to confirm that.“Make sure that they aren’t colluding.”The other inspector stood up and jotted down Lilian Yates, Mandy Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer’s phone numbers from Harvey’s phone before dialing a number in the room next door.Five minutes later, the inspector came back and glared at Harvey with a cold gaze.“I’m sorry, Mr. York.“We called your mother-in-law.“She said that she didn’t see you. She also wanted you gone.“We’ll have to hold you here as a suspect for now…”Mac and August looked at each other before they burst out laughing.***Bam!Half an hour later, inside the Hatchet Gang’s base camp.Rachel Hardy and the others walked into the deepest part of the manor with cold expressions on th
