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
On the next day, early in the morning. The skies of Flutwell were a little gloomy than usual.The sudden drop in temperature made the streets feel a lot colder. The stores were also opened a little later because of this.Two drowsy inspectors were patrolling the entrance of Flutwell Police Station.Right as they were about to change their shifts and have a meal…Dozens of cars suddenly drove over.Soon after, hundreds of people in robes ran out of the cars.The inspectors’ hearts skipped a beat as they held onto their firearms on their waists.The people in robes were obviously trained. Two mere inspectors would not be enough to hold them all back.But at this very moment, the people did nothing. They did not even try to surround the inspectors.The man leading the group waved his hand before someone started mourning.At the same time, someone brought out a banner from one of the cars.The banner was white and had black text written on it, demanding the killer to pay with hi
Harvey York casually opened the takeout box and tilted his head.“Don’t they know I’m the head of Law Enforcement?“Aren’t they scared of me killing them off for messing around like this?”Ansel Torres bitterly chuckled.“If this were any other time, they would be terrified.“But why would they be scared of you now?“In their eyes, you’ll never be able to walk out of here anymore.“Along with someone pushing them in this direction, there’s no better time to kick a man while he’s down than the present.”Harvey chuckled before picking up a piece of fried chicken.“Did you find out who’s causing all this trouble?”“Not yet, but there’s no way that these series of events are just a bunch of coincidences.“The enemy wants you dead as soon as possible…”“They didn’t want that initially…” said Harvey calmly.“But now that your brother’s here, he’d surely enforce the law impartially and solve the case.“The enemy’s scared that their plans would be all for nothing. There also migh
Drake shrugged nonchalantly and said to Journi, "I don't care whether you want to kneel, but you know my nickname well."As they spoke, Drake's right finger was already starting to pull the trigger.Journi gritted her teeth, but in the end, she slowly bent the knee. Harvey was stunned as he was going to make his move. There was surprise in his eyes. All these men and women from high society had their own pride. He did not expect her to be able to be so flexible in a time like this. She deserved his praise!"Tsk. Aren't you a princess? Aren't you always prideful? Don't they call you a goddess?" Drake looked at Journi disdainfully when he saw her kneel. He patted Journi's hand with a sneer. "You've always despised me, haven't you? Why are you kneeling before me now?"If it isn't because Ms. Isis desired you, do you think I'll let you kneel here? You're just a daughter from some second-rate top family. You think you're untouchable, and you want to go against us? Do you think you're an
Hearing Drake's words, Journi coldly said, "Drake, are you stupid? Do you know who you are? Are you threatening me? Ruin my face, then. Show me if you can actually bear the consequences of your action!"Journi was quite fearless. Besides Harvey being right next to her, it was also because Journi was sure Drake would not dare to do anything to her. She was a member of the Stanton family, after all. While the Stanton family was not one of the top ten families or one of the five hidden families, they were still one of the top families.If they butted heads and went all out, it would never end well for both sides."Ha! Don't think I didn't know Emery is no longer interested in you," Drake waved his hand, and four brawny men walked out, their eyes locked on Harvey and Journi."I gave you some respect in the past because Emery wanted you, so I did it for his sake. Do you really think you mean anything? And now? Who do you think you are? So what if I tell you to kneel and call her Queen?
Just when Harvey was giving Isis a good look, Jouni could not help but yelp as if she had discovered something novel. "Drake Ward? Why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be back in the Northern Lands?"Harvey looked at Isis and instantly frowned. Then, his eyes turned to the man sitting opposite Isis. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and had a buzz cut. He was also covered in tattoos and looked very aggressive. Most importantly, he was the only man from Country H who could be on the same level as all these foreigners here.And the way he looked at Isis was one of unrestrained aggression. However, despite clearly noticing that, Isis did not say anything else. That also explained the man's high status because, typically speaking, someone like Isis would definitely kill any man who gave her those looks."Drake Ward?" Harvey was curious. "Why does this name sound so familiar?""Of course it is," Journi replied coldly. "He belonged to one of the five hidden families, the Ward family o
Since the other side wanted to drop all pretenses, he also could do it his way. They lived in an era when fighting fire with fire was the only way to go. The man's expression froze, somewhat darkened. He did not expect this man to be the current chairman of Country H Commercial Group, which meant he had bitten off more than he could ever chew. If he had known, he would not have wasted his breath.But from how calm Harvey was, he could tell that Harvey was definitely someone who would honor his threats. If Harvey really did take this to Elric, then it would simply make everyone look bad. Even if they were sure this place had nothing to do with the commercial group, who would they complain to when Harvey locked all the exits?The moment that thought crossed the man's mind, he could only say with a straightened expression, "I see that you're the chairman, Mr. Harvey. If that's the case, please come in. My master wanted to meet you for a long time."When Journi saw the man had taken a
"True, this is not our territory," the man said with a smile, "but since Mr. Stanton rented this place to us, this place is under our management for the time being. When he rented us this place, we made a promise. Other than the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group, only the guests that we designated can enter this place. "Even gods will have to follow this rule. Not only are you trying to make it hard for us, but you're also making it hard for your father. I believe you won't make it difficult for us, right?The man gave Journi a meaningful smile. A woman who came to his master after submitting herself to him didn't have anything to be proud of.Journi's expression darkened. "What if I said this man is my boyfriend?""Boyfriend?" The man smiled. "He can't enter even if he's your husband. But I know you people like to break the rules all the time. If you want to force your way through, then we'll act accordingly."The man clapped; instantly, eight powerful-built men walked
The next day, eight o'clock in the evening… Harvey got into a car, and Journi was waving at him with a smile. In the past two days, Journi didn't interrupt him and Yvonne, and simply let them clean up everything that had happened earlier.Once it was almost done, only then did Journi ask Harvey to do as he promised and pretend to be her boyfriend.According to Journi, the man from Country A who liked her was becoming worse and worse. One time, he even went to the female toilet and she almost lost her innocence. All she wanted was for Harvey to deal with this properly.Originally, Harvey didn't want to make a move. When he heard how improper the man acted, he was furious and agreed to Journi's request. However, Journi said that this couldn't be taken care of using force alone. She hoped Harvey would go and meet him and settle this peacefully. This would be good for both sides.Originally, Harvey was going to ask Tyson to immediately teach that man a lesson. But since Journi requ
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
