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
“Right. Even Joseph Bauer convinced your mother-in-law to stand up for you,” Ansel Torres continued speaking.“But your wife declined the offer.”“As expected.”Harvey York smiled and shrugged after hearing those words.“Looks like the thirteenth young master really wants me dead!“On one hand, he can make a good impression on Mandy Zimmer, making her think he’s a good man.“And on the other hand, he wants to prevent me from being punished by the law. That way, he’ll be able to mobilize the people from the underworld to avenge Jordan Bowie!“Other than that, even if he doesn’t do that, he can use the falsified evidence as a bargaining chip to order me around.“If I don’t listen to his command, he’d expose everything to the public and force me to a corner!“The Bauer family has control over the media…“At the same time, they have support from most of Flutwell’s underworld!“Even the Gang of Six has deep connections with them, let alone Longmen and the Golden Palace.”Ansel s
With Ansel Torres’s understanding, he knew that Harvey York would not allow something like that to happen.“It’s hard to find evidence that would help me now,” said Harvey calmly.“But we should be able to find a loophole in that footage.”“The footage?” Ansel squinted.Harvey nodded.“There aren’t many people who know the Art of Disguise here, right?”Ansel pondered over the situation…“The Demon Monks from India!“Throughout history, Flutwell had been in good relations with India. The Demon Monks would pass down their Dharma to the people of Flutwell many times.“And their Yoga would be able to change one’s looks completely!“This is a loophole! I’ll handle it!”Right as Ansel was about to leave the room…Bam!The interrogation room was suddenly kicked open.About eight people were surrounding a man in a suit. An aura of an upperclassman could be felt exuding from that man.He was at most in his thirties, but the aura on him felt extremely prominent. Clearly, he was
“I didn’t get Ansel Torres here so I can escape the law. I asked him to enforce the law impartially,” said Harvey York.“You’re still trying to refute now?!”Nelson Torres was boiling with anger after hearing Harvey’s words.‘He clearly called my good-for-nothing brother to abuse his power, yet he’s saying that he wants to enforce the law?‘Does he think that I’m stupid?‘He thinks that I can’t see through that?’Harvey could not be bothered to explain the situation to Nelson, who was utterly enraged at that moment.“I don’t care if you believe me or not. I just don’t want anyone to bail me out for no reason,” replied Harvey while casually shrugging.“You think someone’s going to bail you out?“Who do you think you are?”Nelson pointed at Harvey with his nose. He could not be bothered to ask for further details. To him, Harvey was just a show-off who liked the attention at this point.“Tell me, other than my good-for-nothing brother, who else in this police station would eve
Ruby Murray, Ozzy Murray, August Bauer, and the others stood beside Joseph Bauer.They respectfully waited for Joseph to finish his training before they walked forward.When one of the servants handed over a water bowl, Joseph calmly washed his hands before opening his mouth.“Who contacted Nelson Torres?”“I did.”Ozzy took a step forward with a joyous look on his face.“I received word that the b*stard, Harvey York, got Ansel Torres involved.“That was why I decided to call Nelson as well.“According to my news, Ansel is entirely out of the picture now.“He no longer has the chance to get involved with the case.“Without Ansel, Harvey’s chances of getting out are as slim as they can get.“Harvey will be dead before anyone even notices, Young Master.”“Dead?”Joseph looked indifferent.“When did I tell you to contact Nelson?“When did I say I wanted Harvey to live the rest of his life behind bars?”Ozzy and Ruby froze when cold sweats were dripping down their backs.J
Ozzy Murray pondered over the situation before he showed a bitter smile on his face.As Joseph Bauer said, if it were true that Harvey York actually murdered the entire Bowie family, he would for sure be dead with Nelson Torres’s involvement.But since the entire thing was a ploy to deal with Harvey, Nelson’s keen senses would most likely ruin the whole thing.If that were to happen, that would mean that Ozzy shot himself in the foot.August Bauer stepped forward after seeing Ozzy’s horrified look.“I’m curious about one thing, Young Master.“Why would Mandy Zimmer decline such a generous offer from you?“Logically speaking, she should be thinking of saving her husband.“But, what she’s doing right now is actually hurting Harvey even more, isn’t it?“Should we start by approaching her first?”“This woman’s a lot more troublesome than I thought.Joseph showed a cold expression when talking about Mandy.“I can tell she has feelings for Harvey even though it feels very conflic
