“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
Half an hour later, people swarmed the entrance of the police station.Rachel took a group of people from Longmen’s Law Enforcement as well as the Hatchet Gang and formed a line to prevent anyone from entering the premises.There were some things the police couldn’t do, but the Law Enforcement and the Hatchet Gang could.That said, the enemy must’ve known that Harvey would probably have ways to deal with the situation.While both sides were engaged in conflict, more and more people showed up to watch the show, fanning the flames in the process.Even Flutwell TV, the voice of the city, sent a few professional journalists to the place.To escalate the entire situation and to let everyone in the city know about the incident…The so-called rally had turned into a press conference.Cameras pointed at the scene, broadcasting the entire situation live.Ansel didn’t know what Harvey was thinking; when he saw the huge group of journalists and a temporary platform behind them, his expre
Harvey still didn't relax and continued to make a roll.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The assassins with the Royal Flush continued their attacks. Very quickly, all the assassins wearing their military uniform fell to the ground, dying with a peaceful look on their faces.This also proved just how powerful the Royal Flush was. That weapon could kill even the True Warriors of legends. The ordinary assassins didn't stand a chance.At this time, Harvey had already confirmed the location of the assassins using the Royal Flush. He immediately headed straight to the entrance and raised the repeating crossbows in his hand. Then, he aimed on top of a streetlight right outside the entrance and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!The masked man standing on the street light with the Royal Flush in hand couldn't react in time. He immediately let go of the Royal Flush in his hand. A dagger slid out into his hand and he immediately jumped right on top of the street light, heading straight for Harvey, the dag
The assassin who opened the door of the fridge couldn't even cry out as he felt a pang of pain in his neck before crumbling to the ground without making a sound.All the assassins were stunned. Before they could reach, Harvey's figure appeared and the knives in his hand began to dance. Blood splattered everywhere as a few more people slumped to the ground noiselessly.However, these assassins were indeed quite skilled. When they were ambushed, one of them managed to escape the room to call for help. As he did that, all the assassins scattered around the café instantly assembled in this location."Fire! Right now!"As if they knew just how powerful Harvey was, the people outside didn't care if the assassins inside were still alright. The moment they were in position, all of them raised the guns and repeating crossbows in their hand and pulled the trigger as they aimed into the kitchen.Harvey's expression was calm. He kicked on a steel trolley outward, then immediately took a step
When Jessica saw how Harvey glared at the assassins and gunners with dark eyes, her expression changed again. While she was considered part of Grand City and was also trained in martial arts, she knew she couldn't fight off so many people.She was not a King of Arms or a True Warrior. How could she stop an assault from so many sides? When the thought flashed through her mind, she held on to Harvey and said, "Harvey, if you can protect me and my family, I can tell you everything. Everything I did was ordered by Dan. Other than Dan, Emery is also part of this, and I have proof!"They have two objectives. They want you to become a permanent enemy of Sienna. They're going to even find a chance to make it look like Sienna ordered this and overtake her completely!"Harvey glared at the group and said, "I can understand why Emery wanted to overtake Sienna, since familial love is a joke in such wealthy families. But I thought Dan was courting Sienna. Why is he doing that?""Because Dan c
Jessica noticed that while Harvey was simply having a friendly chat, he had almost revealed all her activities when she was in Wolsing. She knew very clearly that once he told everything to the Wrights and the Yates, not only would they kill her, but they would also kill her entire family.Most importantly, he was able to easily deduce that Dan was behind her. That filled Jessica with horror. She was terrified by how direct Harvey was and knew everything that had happened.The last person that made Jessica feel like this…It was her employer, Dan. Just when Jessica was hesitating if she should sell Dan out, Harvey suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the corridor not far away. Several kids were running around in the corridor. It was quite noisy, especially in a quiet atmosphere like this.Many passersby simply glanced at the children and didn't give them another look. But for some reason, Harvey felt like there was something wrong. Then, he smelled something like tobacco.
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
