Lilian Yates thought that Harvey York must have been worried about her bringing up the gold mine in the future.That was why he sent Rachel Hardy here to make her turn a blind eye to the matter.Lilian was boiling with rage at this moment.In her eyes, she would have been the wealthiest mother-in-law there ever was if it was not for Harvey.She did not need to live in a rundown place like this!Even the air around here stank!“Be honest with me, you b*tch! Have you been sleeping with that b*stard or not?!“Tell me if you are! I’ll even help you climb the ranks!“You’ll have a chance to be with him as long as Harvey breaks up with my daughter!“Or are you saying you’d prefer to be a third wheel for the rest of your life?”“You…”Rachel was on the verge of slapping Lilian, but she managed to hold back her feelings after remembering her value.“I don’t care what grudges you hold against Sir York, Lilian!” she exclaimed coldly.“I also don’t care what happened before!“I want
“Sir York came all the way here just to save you and your daughter!“He went against so many people just to bail the both of you out!“It’s bad enough that you won’t help him when someone’s trying to frame him, but how dare you fan the flames even harder?!“Are you actually mad?!”Lilian Yates froze after hearing Rachel Hardy’s words.“The police? His whereabouts?“What did he even do?” she asked.“Nothing!Rachel let out a cold chuckle.“But because of you, he became the prime suspect who murdered the entire Bowie family!“No need to look at me like that! That’s Jordan Bowie’s family, the same person who slapped you in the damn face!“From eleven thirty to twelve o’clock, his entire family of twenty-three people and the dogs were all murdered!”Lilian felt surprised before showing a relieved look on her face.“Good! Good! How dare that b*stard slap me in the face?!“Serves him right!”“Good?!Rachel was completely infuriated.“How are you still so casual about this?!
A cold gaze was showing in Lilian Yates’s eyes.“I knew this b*stard’s been a violent freak!“I knew he’d do something like this sooner or later! He belongs in jail!“I’ll bring him justice today!”Mandy Zimmer looked at her mother with a confused look on her face.“How can you say that?! We were with Harvey York just yesterday!“You even asked to talk with him alone around eleven o’clock, saying you’ll chase us both out!“You were talking to him! How could you say something like that?!“Impossible!” screamed Xynthia Zimmer.“Brother-In-Law did hurt people, but he’s no murderer! Why would he kill off the entire family for such a small matter?!“He’s obviously being framed!”Xynthia completely trusted Harvey.If Harvey really wanted to kill someone, why would he leave trails of himself so he would be easily tracked down?Rachel Hardy was showing a horrible expression at this moment.Out of the three, Xynthia was the only person who could testify for Harvey.But Lilian onl
Xynthia Zimmer felt miserable after seeing her own mother desperately trying to frame Harvey York.She knew full well that Lilian Yates’s testimony was the most important out of the three.Harvey’s suspicion could only be cleared if Lilian would retract what she said earlier that morning.Mandy Zimmer frowned. She also believed that Harvey would not do something like this.But she also knew how her mother behaved. It would do no good to try and convince her at this moment.Judging from Lilian’s attitude, Harvey would have no chance to clear his name if she were to go all out and become his “corrupt witness”.She would carry the memory of Harvey stabbing her in the stomach back in Hong Kong for the rest of her life…Her desire to become the mother-in-law of a top-rated family also pushed her to do this.Right as Mandy was trying to figure out a way to convince her mother, a few Rolls Royce Phantoms suddenly appeared before parking in front of the police station.A handsome man
“What are you saying, Young Master?!”“That’s none of your business.”Lilian Yates immediately interrupted Mandy Zimmer from talking.“That b*stard, Harvey York, is just born violent! Only he can do something heinous like this!“He totally deserves it!“He’s the one who killed all those people!“He’s the one who has to pay!”“Enough, Mother! Shut up already!”Mandy could not help but scold her mother before she raised her head to look at Joseph Bauer.“This has nothing to do with you, Young Master.“I also don’t want to argue about who’s in the wrong.“Just please stop getting yourself involved!”Joseph pulled out a long, thin cigar and held it in his mouth with a faint smile.“What are you saying, Mandy?“Jordan Bowie’s my subordinate no matter what! I should be taking some responsibility if something like this were to happen.“I’ve been pondering the situation when I was coming here. I wanted to make due.“The Bowie family’s history now!“But, the living ones need to
“No wonder you’re one of Flutwell’s most influential men at such a young age!“I’ll be relieved if Mandy Zimmer gets to be with you!”Lilian Yates did not fancy Joseph Bauer’s fake attitude, but she was still filled with joy.If Joseph were a man who liked guises, Lilian would be able to live her life full of luxuries if Mandy were to marry him!Lilian looked at Mandy with a bitter look on her face without a second thought.“Oh, Mandy!“You need to cherish the man in front of you!“You won’t get another chance if you don’t!”Mandy frowned. She could not understand what Joseph was trying to do.Joseph’s words made no sense at all. It was as if she was just dreaming.Joseph showed a faint smile after hearing Lilian’s compliment.“You’re too kind, Auntie Lilian!“This is no trouble at all.“As long as Mandy can be happy and leave her past behind, this will all be worth it for me…”Afterward, Joseph stared at Mandy with longing eyes.“If you say the word, your ex-husband wil
While it was utter chaos on the outside, Harvey York was taking a nap inside the interrogation room.Nobody asked him a single word ever since he was brought inside.Flutwell Police Station seemed to be focused on crime scene evidence and witnesses after being guided by some experts. Because of this, Harvey was completely ignored by them.It was unknown whether this was a psychological tactic or they were just trying to gather more evidence so that Harvey would have no chance to refute his crimes.In any case, Harvey had been left alone for quite a while already.Harvey could not be bothered anyway. He had been taking a nap before he started deducing the incident.Clearly, someone was behind Ezra Bauer, Dylan Bowie, and Jordan Bowie’s deaths.The people who could control such events in Flutwell were relatively rare.The only confusing thing was that it would be hard to use the opportunity to end Harvey’s life even though he was the biggest suspect in the incident.Judging from
Vivian Hall showed a righteous look when she fiercely exclaimed, “Tell us everything!“Why did you kill them?!“How did you kill them?!“What sort of people did you kill?!“Speak! I want all the details!“The law will bring you justice!”Harvey York curiously glanced at Vivian.“You have no proof of me killing anyone now, do you?“Would you believe me if I said that I didn’t kill anyone?”The male inspector froze before he coldly chuckled.“The footage clearly showed you at the crime scene! You also have a motive to do such a thing!“What’s the point of denying it now?!”Harvey shrugged.“These are just preconceived notions.“Let’s not say that the person in the footage wasn’t me.“Even if it was, me being there doesn’t prove anything.“Perhaps I was just taking a stroll and enjoying the scenery.“Besides, Jordan Bowie went against so many people in Flutwell. It’s only normal for people to want him dead in the first place.”“Enough!“Stop trying to deny it!The male
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
