“You want proof?!”“Every single customer and dealer here is proof!”“You cheated if I said you did!”Aaron looked at Young Master Myers with a straight face.“I know you take a day off every week, Young Master Myers. I know I shouldn’t be disturbing you right now…”“But I really can’t deal with this b*stard! I’m powerless!”“Please deal with the situation for me, Young Master Myers!”Aaron wanted to deal with Harvey himself, but he knew full well…That Rachel was just too powerful. His subordinates were no match for her to begin with.Only the young master in front of him, Nolan Myers, would be able to do such a thing.Nolan ignored Aaron completely. He casually leaned on a couch before snapping his fingers.Someone came over with champagne in hand, and poured Nolan a glass.Nolan sipped his drink and cast a curious glance at Harvey, as if he had total control over the situation.When he was almost done, he wiped his fingers with some wet tissues and crossed his legs.“M
Rachel knew that Harvey was basically invincible, but there were still two hundred people standing in their way.She wanted to bury the hatchet without any bloodshed. After all, it would be better if nobody suffered any losses.Aaron froze. A mystified look flashed across his face and he glared at Harvey.He knew Harvey’s background was quite extraordinary, but he didn’t think that the woman beside him was actually the vice head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement.“So you’re the newly appointed vice head of Law Enforcement. You’ve made quite a name for yourself in Flutwell, Rachel.”Nolan’s eyes lit up. Then, he shifted his gaze toward Harvey.“But so what?”“Flutwell isn’t like any other city.”“Longmen’s headquarters is located here, and so is the Bauer family.”“You can flaunt your strength of Longmen’s Law Enforcement anywhere else, but it won’t be as effective here!”“Unless you can bring someone from the Bauer family or the head of Law Enforcement himself…”“It won’t be enou
If Harvey wasn’t afraid of Rachel getting injured in the conflict, he wouldn’t be wasting his time talking.Even so, he had no intention to apologize, nor was he going to pay back the money.Nolan froze before sizing up Harvey with a frown.“A live-in son-in-law like you knows one of the leaders of the Gang of Six?”“We have a pretty decent relationship,” Harvey replied calmly.“Interesting. I didn’t think an outsider would know Kayden,” Aaron exclaimed with an odd tone.“But don’t you know?”“The Hatchet Gang is the worst out of the Gang of Six!”“Kayden may seem powerful on the outside, but his reputation doesn’t mean anything to us!”In Aaron’s eyes, it was hilarious that Harvey brought up someone that even he wasn’t afraid of as his support.“If that’s not enough, then what about Ansel Torres?”Harve’s face was calm.“I have a pretty good relationship with him too.”“Ansel Torres?”A slight change could be seen in Nolan’s expression.“You know the first-in-command of
“How…How dare you?!”Aaron was completely shocked.He couldn’t believe Harvey would dare go against such a prominent figure.Not only was Nolan the military advisor of the Bharata Business Council, but he was also born into a family of Kshatriyas!Even Aaron was inferior compared to Nolan!Harvey was insane! He was looking for his death!The people Nolan brought were all shocked; they didn’t know how they should react.After all, nobody expected this would happen in the first place.‘Harvey seemed so meek before!’‘He even brought out Kayden and Ansel!’‘Wasn’t he pleading?’‘Why would he smash Nolan’s head in?’Everyone thought they were hallucinating.Even Rachel was at a complete loss. She knew this was how Harvey usually acted…But she didn’t think that Harvey would still be this domineering even against two hundred people.“You want to die, you b*stard?!”Aaron and his men from the Bharata Gang came to their senses and raised their firearms at that instant.Rach
Harvey had a faint smile when he looked back at Nolan. He was quite impressed by the young master.That said, there was no way for the two to bury the hatchet anymore.Harvey tapped on Nolan’s face and said easily, “Why don’t you take a guess? We’ll see if I can kill you.”“Kill me?”Nolan chuckled. His eyes were icy.“Even if you do, you still can’t solve the problem at hand. You still wouldn’t be able to deal with the situation in front of you, and you still can’t get out of the place unscathed.”Even then, Nolan didn’t believe that Harvey deserved his respect.He was a Kshatriya, after all.In his eyes, only people like Hector Thompson and Elias Patel were on par with him.A mere live-in son-in-law had no right to be in that list.“I can’t deal with the problem, but I sure as hell can die with you.”Harvey laughed.“Even if you die, I might just live through this.”“Want to try?”Harvey used a little more force, pushing the glass shard across Nolan’s throat. A trail of
Nolan scoffed; he didn’t think Harvey would understand his country’s beliefs and culture.Harvey revealed a profound look upon seeing Nolan’s confident and stubborn look.In reality, Nolan’s life would be gone instantly if Harvey decided to put in a little more force.Aaron and Totto were terrified over the present situation. They wouldn’t dare move a single inch, fearing they would get Nolan killed…Yet, Nolan didn’t seem like he cared at all.“Don’t think I’ll give in, Harvey.”Nolan looked at Harvey with a blank face.“Us Indians are the same. You can cut off our heads, but you can never take away our pride.”“If you’re good to us, we’ll repay the favor wholeheartedly.“But if you humiliate us, we’ll always find a way to deal with you!”“Even if you kill me, as long as India is still alive, there’ll always be someone to avenge me!”“Besides, I believe you wouldn’t dare kill me anyway.”“After all, I’m a noble Kshatriya. A lowly man like you has no right to do such a thin
Judging from how the royal court and the legendary Big Boss would handle things…If the matter were to be exposed, it wouldn’t be as simple as destroying India’s entire foundation within Flutwell.Country H would probably have an excuse to station their men outside the country’s borders.After all, setting up an illegal gambling site within the country was already considered to be utterly disrespectful.Of course, there was another reason entirely.If it came down to it, India would probably cut ties with the people involved with such a crime…Simply put, Harvey’s phone call was a lot more terrifying to Nolan and the others.They weren’t scared of the entire army deployed against them, but they couldn’t afford it if Harvey made the phone call.At this moment, Nolan wasn’t sure that Harvey wouldn’t kill him anymore.‘This man’s a lunatic! He doesn’t care if things escalate!’“Are you a man or what, Harvey?!” Aaron exclaimed instinctively.“We should settle things with our own
“I’m happy with this.”“There’s just one more thing…”Harvey calmly pulled the trigger once again.Bang, bang!Aaron screamed in pain; two holes appeared on his legs.He fell to the ground paralyzed; all he could do was roll around with all his might.“How dare you?!”“Are you planning to piss us off completely?!”Nolan was filled with rage at the sight.He initially thought he could endure everything that happened…But Harvey kept pushing the limits, constantly disrespecting him.No! Harvey was completely disregarding the Bharata Business Council!“How dare I?”“Cross you?”“You have no right to say that!”Harvey threw the firearm aside, and then grabbed Nolan’s Hermes handkerchief to wipe his fingers.He folded the handkerchief nicely and stuffed it back in Nolan’s pocket after he was done.“How about this? I’ll give you a chance,” he said with a smile.“I hope you’ll do something about the Hearthstone Corporation incident tomorrow at the same time.”“If you can’t
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
