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
Everything happened just as Harvey predicted.August was finished!The victims’ families were out of their minds for all that money.Not only were they going all out against August, they even exposed every single one of his schemes.August contacted them and bought them off a few days ago so they could cause trouble at any time.Someone pointed out that August said that he even managed to fake the entire surveillance footage, and that it would be easy to get a bunch of fake witnesses.Not only were August’s crimes exposed, Harvey was also proven innocent in the process.The journalists were all too happy to take advantage of August’s misfortune. Why would they even give him a chance to save himself?Everyone reported the news as soon as they could. Simply put, August was done for!…Flutwell. Inside Longmen’s Budokan.Ozzy had a horrible expression when he reported the situation to Joseph.“Young Master, August is done for.”“He lost everything.”“Our well-laid plans have
Joseph narrowed his eyes for a moment.“A few days later, the second phase of my property’s launch will be held in Flutwell’s new district.”“If all three thousand properties can be sold, we’ll have most of our funds back.”“For now, let’s just focus on that.”“As for Harvey, we’ll let August handle it.”“Tell him to use force if playing dirty doesn’t work. I treated him well for this day.”“If Harvey doesn’t die, August dies!”…“Cheers!”“For Brother-In-Law’s innocence!”“I told you he’ll be fine!”Six o’clock in the evening. In the Flutwell Hotel, Harvey and the others were sitting under the bustling lights of a box.Xynthia used her own money to treat everyone to a meal.Aside from Mandy and her family, Rachel, Kayden, and the others were invited as well.Unlike the rest, Lilian had a horrible expression.She didn’t think that Harvey would be able to get out of the situation completely unscathed and still be together with her daughter. She couldn’t help but grit her
Ten o’clock at night. In the Hatchet Gang’s base camp.Harvey was casually making himself some tea in the garden.A slender figure could be seen walking from afar not long after.“Your wife won’t get jealous of me for this, right, Sir York?” Rachel said with a smile before taking a seat in front of Harvey.She was wearing a gown made of silk. Together with her wavy hair, her exquisite feminine look was quite apparent.Harvey admired her beauty before flashing her a warm smile.“Are you going to tell me that I’ll anger Mandy just by drinking tea and watching the moon with you?”Rachel smiled back.“Of course. I’m different from the others. I only care about you, after all…”Harvey chuckled. He didn’t think Rachel would crack jokes like this, especially considering her serious demeanor.He poured a cup of tea for Rachel before changing the subject.“Alright. Enough jokes.”“Let’s talk business.”“Let Mandy take care of the company starting tomorrow.”“You deal with Longmen’
During the chaos at the police station last time, August had bodyguards of the Bauer family with him. Unfortunately, there were simply too many journalists chasing after him.The bodyguards wouldn’t dare strike back, while the victims’ families had no restraint.August had no way to defend himself against the crowd rushing toward him.Many people pulled out their weapons to attack him. If it weren’t for August being well-versed in martial arts, his limbs would’ve long been gone.Yet, he was still bruised everywhere. There were even dark circles around his eyes.August didn’t bear a grudge against those people. There was no point to that.However, he knew that Harvey was to be blamed for all this!“How dare he keep going against me?!”“He’ll pay!”Though August was shocked to realize that Harvey kept thinking of ways to break through his well-laid plans, he was more startled that Harvey actually had the guts to fight back. In fact, the man constantly put Joseph and everyone els
