Legends said that the manor was built during the country’s rise for Flutwell’s first-in-command.For almost a hundred years, the manors here had been constantly torn apart and rebuilt, leaving only ten properties around the place.The owners of the manors were no small feat, either.They were either previous first-in-commands of Flutwell, or they had contributed to the city’s development immensely.People without such achievements would have no right to live in these houses.Harvey didn’t care much about the place, but he still understood its importance.The car parked in front of the Number One Manor a few minutes later.Harvey and Ansel then walked out of the car.Harvey looked around curiously and saw exquisite blue bricks and red tiles, perfect for the aesthetics of elderly people.Armed men in uniforms were posted all around the place as well. This was enough to explain a lot of things.“Please, Sir York!”Ansel brought out all sorts of credentials for a man in uniform
Naturally, Colton had already looked up Harvey’s name beforehand. He wouldn’t say such a thing if that wasn’t the case.“You can’t do things properly, but you sure are pretty arrogant, kid!”Colton took a step forward, as if he was trying to suppress Harvey with his aura. He wasn’t enraged because of Harvey’s words, though.“Be efficient while keeping a low profile. This is my principle,” Harvey replied.“I understand what you’re saying…”“But we should always look at the bigger picture!”“If there’s a way to put things right once and for all, why even waste energy in the first place?”“Luring the target before eliminating the entire group…”“That’s the best way to do things, don’t you think?”“That’s what you think! Those are just your own principles!” Colton snapped coldly.“But to me, you’re just being indecisive! In the end, your hesitance caused you more problems!”Ansel was at a complete loss, but he managed to catch up to the conversation.His father and Harvey were
Ansel was in shock, but Colton remained expressionless; nobody knew exactly how he was feeling.He then walked over before tapping Harvey on the shoulder.Harvey stood still, just as expressionless. “I told you Harvey was impressive, Father. Do you believe me now?”Ansel smiled faintly.“Can Sir York have a look at your injury now?”Before Colton spoke up, a voice echoed from outside.“Uncle Torres! Where are you?”“Let’s go to the hall.”Colton clapped his hands.“Sienna’s here.”“She told me she’d find me a well-known doctor a few days ago.”“She was planning to get me fixed.”“Sir York. Sienna’s from the Wright family,” Ansel whispered in Harvey’s ear.“Her father is my father’s good friend. That’s why both our families have a good relationship.”“I didn’t know she was going to come with a doctor. I’m really sorry about that.”“The Wright family?”Harvey smiled after hearing Ansel’s words.“The head of the top ten families in Country H?”“Is Sienna the legendary
Rudolph’s title wasn’t just for show.It was said that he had studied ancient medical skills from both India and the Island Nations, as well as western and eastern medicine. His skills were considered unparalleled.He was also able to filter out most of the useless information and keep only the essence of said medical skills, further pushing him to more lengths.It’s said that even the royal families of Northern Europe would occasionally hire him to treat them, prolonging their lives in the process.However, Rudolph’s price was extremely high; he would charge at least millions of dollars every time.If he had to operate on anyone, it would cost exponentially more.Despite that, his business was still flourishing.Ansel had already heard of the legendary Deathbuster before. Even though the Torres family was quite well-known throughout Flutwell, they were still not good enough to get someone like Rudolph here.If it weren’t for Sienna, Rudolph probably wouldn’t have shown up here
Seeing Rudolph’s disdainful expression…Harvey calmly said, “I’m no doctor.”“And you’re the legendary Deathbuster.”“If you really are that impressive, why couldn’t you fix your own sickness?”“Every time you feel like doing it, you have no strength to actually go through with it. You feel miserable about it, don’t you?”Rudolph’s prideful look froze in an instant.He looked at Harvey, filled with disbelief.He didn’t think that Harvey knew about his unspeakable secret!His reputation would be tarnished if the word about this were to spread!Rudolph furiously changed his expression.“You investigated me?!”Colton and Ansel looked at Rudolph with a strange gaze upon noticing the change in his expression.They naturally knew what Harvey was talking about.Sienna was a little dumbfounded, but then she realized what the conversation was about. She couldn’t help but swallow her spit, her face bright-red.“Why would I? Do you think you’re some hotshot that I’m interested in?”
Rudolph crossed his arms as his assistants pulled out all sorts of precision instruments.“You’ve never seen all these things, have you?”“Let me tell you something: these are special equipment only found in Switzerland! You’d have to work your entire damn life just to have one of these!”“The doctors in my country use real medical skills to save their patients!”“I’ll show you just how good I am right now!”Harvey glanced curiously at the equipment for a short while.“Elder Torres isn’t even sick, but you’ll probably misdiagnose him as having heart failure.”“I’m no doctor, but I can already tell.”“Don’t tell me that you’re going to use all this equipment just to do exactly what I predicted.”Sienna was confused.“You can tell what’s wrong with Uncle Torres?”“You’re not just spouting nonsense, are you?”Harvey chuckled without giving a reply.Rudolph coldly scoffed; he felt utterly embarrassed after all the humiliation from before.He put up a front, and started prepar
Colton chuckled.“Life and death, poor and rich, it’s all destined to be.”“Since there’s not a good chance that I’ll survive, let’s just drop this.”“It’s hard for Mr. Rudolph to come all this way here. Write him a 1.5 million dollar check.”Naturally, Colton didn’t want to take his last breath on the sick bed.Rudolph flashed him a bitter smile.“Thank you for that, Elder Torres…”“But I’m afraid I cannot accept it.”Sienna wasn’t planning to give up just yet.“You’re the youngest director of the International Medical Federation, Mr. Rudolph! You’re a talented man! You’re the Deathbuster! Do you really have no other way of helping Uncle Torres?”“There’s no other way!”Rudolph took a deep breath.“We either take the chance, or we let him die after three months.”“Not just me, even the chairman of the federation won’t be able to help!”Sienna went silent after hearing Rudolph’s words.Harvey smiled calmly and tapped Rudolph’s shoulder.“You have impressive skills, Rudo
Rudolph believed that his medical skills were unparalleled. He had been treating people from the royal family or the nobility in Northern Europe for many years.Together with his title as a director of the International Medical Federation, it was safe to say that he was quite influential in the medical world.Nobody else could save a patient that he himself couldn’t help!He was already quite unhappy with Harvey exposing his secret…Naturally, he was a lot angrier after Harvey showed utter disrespect for him in the field that he was well-versed in.The assistants and nurses beside Rudolph were glaring disdainfully at Harvey.They thought that Harvey was just too arrogant.‘Just because he figured out Mr. Rudolph’s secret, doesn’t mean he gets to show off like that!’‘He can’t perform that way, but his medical skills are unparalleled!’“Would you like to try, Elder Torres?”Harvey completely ignored Rudolph’s insults, and instead looked calmly at Colton.“As I said, I’m no do
In truth, Jesse did understand Harvey somewhat. He knew from the very beginning that with Harvey's character, he would not have killed Wilhelm.The reason he threw Harvey into prison was to protect him, other than it being the Xavier family's order as well. But he did not expect something like this to happen outside.Not only Donald had died, but all the young men and women he brought back also mostly died. All of them died the same way. They could not even resist, all of them slain in one slash. It was as if the person who killed them possessed incredible power and was very familiar with them.Other than Liza, who left the residence at the time, all the people from the other three Martial Arts Alliance who came back from overseas had been killed.The information was from Wolsing's precinct. It was absolutely unbelievable to them that something like this would happen at the country's seat of power. That was why the precinct contacted Wolsing's Dragon Cell, hoping they could work to
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
Liza chuckled when he saw Donald, who was so confident in his abilities. "If you put some more effort into it, with your abilities, there's no doubt that Harvey will die a terrible death, am I right?"Donald rubbed his swollen face. "That little bastard hit my face until it's all swollen. Of course, I must get back at him a hundred, no, a thousand times! Otherwise, all this pain and humiliation will be for nothing."Liza bowed. "He deserves it all." "Alright, I'll get some rest. After everything, I can feel my bones aching," said Donald as he set down his glass and walked to his bedroom.But the instant he went inside, he turned around to look at Liza. "Contact Mitsuki and ask if the Island Nation still has any other evidence. If there's none, ask them if she can fabricate something concrete soon. If we want to make this case as solid as possible, we also need other evidence! And I believe they have already prepared it.""Understood!" Liza nodded and immediately left to arrange i
Just as Harvey was imprisoned because of Rita's testimony, Donald returned to his mansion with a pleasing smile.While he had lived overseas, he had plenty of assets in Wolsing.On the one hand, it was to make some money. On the other hand, it was to have a place to stay. And his favorite place was Arcadia Garden located in the third rim of Wolsing. It was not spacious and had three courtyards, and the architecture was quite old, as if it had not been renovated for decades.That being said, Arcadia Garden's design was quite old, but all the antique, the pottery, the statues… All of them were pretty valuable. If one were to live in a place like this, they would no doubt lose themselves in a life of decadence, becoming full of themselves.At this time, someone pushed open the door into Arcadia Garden with a creak.Then, Donald walked into the estate with a gratified expression, sitting on the sofa in the living room."Hahahaha! What a show! Isn't that Harvey quite bombastic? Isn't
"Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you just surrender?" Mitsuki looked at Harvey with a smirk.Harvey calmly replied, "Firstly, I have no interest in framing you Islanders. Because logically speaking, the weak will frame the strong. In my eyes, all of you Islanders are nothing. You're not even on my radar."Secondly, if I really want to kill Wilhelm, will I be so stupid to kill him just after he and I were in a scuffle earlier? Can't I wait for a few more days?"Thirdly, you showed a fingerprint and said all the evidence is clear. But you can lift my fingerprints from my residence and my office."Fourthly, you Islanders have just used Donald and Wilhelm to threaten me, so they'll make me give up on the duel. But when that fails, I'm suddenly accused of being a murderer, as if I'll go to prison at any time."There are too many coincidences. I believe the one who killed Wilhelm is someone from Island Nation, so that you can frame me.""Us? Framing you?" Mitsuki said as i
Harvey did not expect Charlotte to be willing to fight the Shinto Way for him until the very end. However, he did not want Charlotte to fight for him now.Looking at the crowd gathering around them, itching to get a fight and the people from Dragon Palace… Then he noticed Mitsuki's deep smile…Harvey sighed.He did not mind fighting the Islanders here.But if he fought with the people from Dragon Palace because of him, no matter who won, it would be a disgrace if news of this spread. Harvey raised his right hand and said, "Charlotte, no need to fight here. Didn't Mitsuki say she has enough evidence to the point that the officers from Dragon Cell are with her? If that's the case, then let's investigate. I believe I can prove my own innocence.Harvey ignored them and left the ICU.When Mitsuki and Donald saw what had happened, they looked and smiled deeply at each other and quickly followed him.-Half an hour later. In the interrogation room, Dragon Cell Wolsing branch.As th
When Harvey looked at how righteous Mitsuki was trying to portray herself, he was unsure how to react.Meanwhile, Donald immediately gave Mitsuki a thumbs up and said, "Just as expected from one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto Way, Mitsuki! Not only can you fight, but you're also guided by righteousness! With Mitsuki willing to preside over what's right, this means that there's still justice in this world. It also means that in Country H, those with power will still be punished!"Then, Donald gave Harvey a complacent smile, feeling that Harvey would have to submit even if he refused.Charlotte frowned when she saw what had happened.The Islanders were known for their particularity. They would never act rashly before they had all the evidence.However, from Mitsuki's reaction… Could it be that Harvey really did kill Wilhelm? But Charlotte instantly felt that it was impossible. For someone like Harvey, if he really had something against Wilhelm, he would handle it on th
"You…" Donald was so furious that he could not stop shaking. "You're making things up, Harvey! Even if I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have killed Wilhelm! He's a dear friend!"Then, Harvey said, "Does that matter to a person like you? You can even kill your own father as long as the price is right, much less someone unrelated to you."Donald could not stop shuddering when he heard that. However, he knew that Harvey was not completely wrong."Mr. Harvey, are all people from your country just like you? Refusing to admit to the crimes you commit? But I have proof that you're the one who killed the deacon!" A cold voice came from the other side of the corridor at this time."We went to the crime scene where William was murdered just now. We found a longsword with your fingerprint on it. This is the smoking gun. What else do you have to say?"Harvey turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was one of the three primary disciples of Shinto Way, Mitsuki. She walked
