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
After hearing about those numbers, the crowd gasped.For ordinary folk, these were astronomical numbers.Since Harvey was willing to spend this much money to prove his innocence, that would mean that he wasn’t the killer.After all, nobody would do something this unrewarding for no reason.“He’s lying!”“He’s the biggest suspect there is! He’s the murderer!”“He’s giving out this much money because he’s guilty!”“Why would he do something like this if that isn’t the case?!”However, a new problem rose to light as soon as one was squashed.Several people clad in robes stood forward.They were all tall and had good figures, and were able to charge right through the Hatchet Gang, who were trying to maintain order.The disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement frowned upon realizing that these people were familiar faces.“Let us speak! We’re all relatives of Vice Head Bauer! We have the right to tell the truth!”“Are you scared of letting us talk? Is it because you’re guilty?!”
Harvey smiled faintly when he saw August show up.“That’s a little lame, don’t you think?”“You’re not getting your thirteenth young master out to play on such a grand occasion?”“Is he going to make his scapegoat show up instead?”“Don’t you think that’s a little lame?”“The thirteenth young master? Lame?”August’s expression changed instantly after hearing Harvey’s words.“You’re the murderer here, Harvey! We’re only here to bring justice, yet you’re still trying to drag the thirteenth young master under the bus!”“You’re sick!”“These families, this crowd, and the journalists have eyes!”“You can’t fool any of us!”August briefly explained his “experience” and played the footage to everyone present.The journalists were ecstatic to see the events unfold. At this point, this incident would surely become the next big news the day after.“Are you willing to listen to the victim’s family, Mr. York?” the journalists exclaimed.“You should at least explain yourself, right?
Everyone was shocked silly by the sight. Nobody would dare question the man’s credibility. After all, everything the man did was simply insane!The journalist already thought of a title as they kept taking pictures.“Murderer tries escaping the law, victim’s family shed blood to prove otherwise…”Harvey glanced at the spectacle with an amused look.The journalists thought Harvey was too arrogant, and that the law would punish him soon.Meanwhile, the other relatives began to speak up while everything was still happening. Friends and family of the Bowie family rushed forward at the sight.All of them were sure that Harvey was the murderer, and that he had to pay his life for all the crimes he committed.The crowd had righteous looks on their faces. They all shared the exact same thought.‘It’s bad enough that he’s a murderer, but he even bought off the entire police station and host a press conference! He thinks we’re all idiots!’“Mr. York! Mr. York, what do you have to say ab
Bam, bam, bam!The victims’ relatives were truly ruthless; they slammed their heads on the ground without an ounce of hesitation. Blood was flowing out of their heads.The men screamed in pain.The women cried in agony.The crowd was completely shocked by the sound of screaming and crying mixed together.Nobody expected that the families would be this extreme.But it was to be expected. If the murderer wasn’t released in the first place, why would they act this way?As for these people being bought off?What a joke!They were practically sacrificing themselves at this point!“You…”Rachel and the others frowned; this felt too much like a conspiracy that it was almost unbelievable.August couldn’t help but be impressed by the sight.He spent tons of money just to buy these people off…But it was well worth it after all!Such Hollywood-level acting wouldn’t be seen anywhere else!The journalists kept pressing the shutter button, trying to record everything that was happ
“What text?”August instinctively looked over.The journalists curiously glanced at the contents as well.Everyone gasped soon after.“Fifteen million dollars has been returned to the payer.”“Fifteen million?!”“From all the families?!”“What the hell?!”“What’s going on here?!”“August gave these families fifteen million dollars each?!”“And now he’s taking it all back?!”A reporter who had an idea of how finances worked immediately understood what was going on.August made an appointment to transfer the money. Logically speaking, everything would be transferred after twenty-four hours.But after he canceled the appointment, the transfer would naturally become invalid.While the crowd was gossiping up a storm, August’s expression changed instantly.“What?! I didn’t ask for a return!”“This wasn’t me!”“Then give the money back already!” someone exclaimed with a furious look.“We agreed that you’d hand over the money if we put on a show!”“We gave our lives for this
“We would’ve been fooled if we didn’t turn on our notifications!”“I’m warning you! You better give us the money, or we’ll come for you sooner or later!”“We’ll tell everyone that everything we said to Harvey was just a damn script you wrote for us!”“You got us here to slander him because you wanted him behind bars!”“We have seventy-six thousand dollars that you happily paid us beforehand! Here’s the record!”“In the first place, we wouldn’t even trust you if it weren’t for this!”“We can’t just put up a show for nothing, August! We shed blood for this!”August’s face darkened slightly; he didn’t know how he managed to slip up…But he knew that there was no chance for him to keep up the facade.After seeing a huge group of people trying to get to the bottom of the situation, August’s expression changed slightly. Then, he stood up together with his followers.“We’re leaving!”“You’re leaving?!”“You’re not going anywhere if you don’t hand over the damn money!”Seeing Augu
