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
Harvey York calmly glanced at Vivian Hall.“You have no right to be my security blanket.“You don’t have the power, nor do you have the status for it.”“Heh heh heh… Am I not good enough to be your security blanket?“You talk like you outsiders are actually powerful in Flutwell!”Vivian was chuckling out of rage before she gritted her teeth.“Make the call then! I do want to see what kind of security you have!‘A goddamn live-in son-in-law trying to show off in front of me like some hotshot! What a joke!’Harvey merely smiled and thought of someone before he dialed a number.Beep beep beep…The call got through, but no sound came from the other side. Harvey was not bothered at all. He lightly tapped the screen thrice and patiently waited.An exhilarated yet nervous tone could be heard from the other side.“CEO York, is that you?”“It’s been a while. I can’t believe you still remember my signal even now, Ansel Torres.”“You’re joking, CEO York!” exclaimed the person on the
“It’s important to be truthful, kid,” said the male inspector.“At least do some homework before you try to fool people like us.“You don’t even know Director Torres’ number, yet here you are pretending that you called him?“Do you even know who he is?“He’s a living legend of the country’s military force, the Chief Instructor’s personal bodyguard while he was still in the Sword Camp!“The Chief Instructor himself trained him!“Director Torres killed a God of War from the Island Nations on his own at the Euro-American battlefield!“Because of his accomplishments, he became the director of Flutwell Police Station at such a young age!“He’s a genuine character in Flutwell’s upper social circle!“Do you think you’d know the phone number of someone like that?!“You think you can just order him around?!“Who do you think you are? The Chief Instructor himself?!”Harvey showed a faint smile after hearing the barrage of insults.“What if I told you that I am him?”“Enough! Can yo
Ansel Torres’s expression worsened when he strutted forward.Vivian Hall and her partner’s hearts skipped a beat before they approached Ansel.“Director Torres!“What brings you here?”Vivian felt her heart racing.‘There’s no way that this is happening, right?’“Did you arrest a man named Harvey York?” exclaimed Ansel coldly, without wasting a single second.“Where is he?“I need to see him right now!”Cold sweats were dripping down Vivian and her partner’s heads while their eyes were twitching.‘It’s real!‘It’s all real!‘Harvey did call Director Torres just now!‘He got all the way here in just ten minutes!‘But…’***“Why didn’t you call me the moment you arrived here, CEO York?“If the brothers from Sword Camp know that you were locked up here, they’ll raze my entire house to the ground.”Ansel showed up in the interrogation room five minutes after reading the case documents.He respectfully stood beside Harvey while showing a bitter smile. He would not even da
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
