While Joseph Bauer was scheming how to fan the flames harder…The next day, Harvey York brought some breakfast to Flutwell People’s Hospital.After passing through the hall and entering the elevator, he came to the inpatient department on the upper floor.Safe to say that Harvey was quite familiar with the place.Right when he came to the floor where Mandy Zimmer was, he frowned slightly.A faint smell wafted in the air.It did not smell like the typical fragrance but rather like a woody scent.Harvey could smell it his entire way here. He could not help but stay cautious because of it.After pondering the situation for a moment, he sent out a text before going inside Mandy’s sick room.A few disciples of Longmen’s Law Enforcement were seen inside the room. They were in charge of Mandy’s safety.They respectfully welcomed Harvey inside since they knew who he was.Harvey casually handed a check to Lilian Yates even before she could stand up, then proceeded to walk toward Mand
Pfft pfft pfft!The doctor waved her hand instantly, revealing silver needles flying right toward the disciples, who had no time even to react.The disciples were in disbelief before they fell to the ground without making a sound.Then, the doctor calmly turned around before coldly glaring at Mandy Zimmer.Mandy’s smile was replaced by a stern look.“Who are you?“I don’t think I know you.“Why come to kill me when we have no grudge against each other?“If you’re here for the gold mine, it’s useless even if you get to kill me.”The doctor took off her face mask, revealing her extremely gorgeous face.Then, she smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Zimmer. I won’t kill you.“It’s no good for us after all. We don’t want any unnecessary trouble.“But I’m afraid that you’ll have to come with me. You’re going to be our bargaining chip.The doctor showed a distant gaze.“Of course, you shouldn’t blame me for being so inhospitable.“Blame your ex-husband for that.“He was
Next, Wren Garcia walked to the side of the bed and revealed a silver needle behind her finger.“You people like acupuncture, don’t you?” she said while looking at Mandy Zimmer calmly.“I’ll make sure to turn you into a disabled person today.“I suggest you don’t resist. Just watch as I slowly do my job.“If I get into a foul mood, I might just lose control and kill you.“Don’t blame me when that happens.”Wren flicked her needle before pushing it into Mandy so she could deal with Harvey York later.Bang!But at this moment, a firearm poked out from underneath the bed and pulled the trigger on Wren’s stomach.“Aaagh!“You b*stard!”Wren screamed in pain. She was immediately sent flying by the force of the firearm.At this moment, she was filled with pain and disbelief.She never expected a gunner would be hiding under Mandy’s bed.The person was also terribly decisive. The trigger was pulled without wasting a second longer.Wren had no other choice but to cover her wound
Bam!Wren Garcia was sent flying before she slammed into the wall.She struggled to stand up when she fell to the ground, but Harvey York was already standing before her.Wren gritted her teeth and thrust her dagger, desperately trying to turn the tables.A bright glare was coming from the dagger. It was a terrifying sight.“Harvey! Look out!” exclaimed Mandy Zimmer instinctively.Slap!Harvey steadily swung his palm forward.His movements did not seem fast, but he managed to slap Wren across her face even before she could do any damage.Wren screamed in pain. She was sent flying once again as she covered her face. She had no strength left to crawl back up when she landed on the ground again.Clap clap clap!Harvey clapped his hands.Soon after, Rudolph’s team went inside the room.They quickly injected anesthetics into Wren’s body and treated her injuries to ensure she would not pass out due to blood loss.Wren gritted her teeth when she observed what had happened. It se
“Of course, no one can do that,” replied Harvey York calmly.“In reality, Black Rose would just sit in a corner so people outside wouldn’t be able to see her.“But, when I arrived at the hospital, I smelled something.“It wasn’t just any fragrance. It was the smell of agarwood, an Indian specialty.“I knew an Indian was here as soon as I smelled it.“I didn’t know if you were planning to come for my people or not…“But I like to be a little careful. That was why I sent a text to Black Rose so she could prepare herself.“When you came knocking on the door, I smelled the same scent on you.“I immediately identified you after that.“But since I didn’t know what your motives were, I did my best to put up a show.“As for what happened next, you know better than I do.”Harvey calmly explained the entire situation to show his sincerity.At the same time, he wanted Wren to fall into despair.After all, to a prideful woman like her, it was more painful that her plans were foiled th
Kayden Balmer was mostly done with the interrogation. He learned that the main culprit was the John family.Other than that, Harvey York also knew about Joseph Bauer threatening the Celestial Temple.Since two forces were trying to make use of the Indians to take out Harvey…Harvey did not mind using the Indians to do the same in return.Harvey was excited at this point. If the Demon Monk, Cody Garcia, knew about the truth and the fact that he was being used, the show would be a lot more exciting.***At dusk, inside Flutwell Funeral Home.Since Freddy Garcia was a foreign guest, his body was immediately sent here after the police performed an autopsy.The Indians rented a small detached building at the establishment. Other than staying with Freddy, they wanted the other Indians to have a place to stay.After all, Cody gave the order to send over a hundred experts from the Celestial Temple.Those experts all crossed the borders illegally. That was why all of them needed a saf
Dahlia John managed to brush over two important figures of the John family not showing up at the mourning hall.Frankie Garcia calmly glanced at Dahlia.“You exaggerate things, Ms. John!“The Bharata Business Council had been in Flutwell for so many years. Eli Burton and the others also had a conflict with the murderer before!“That’s why we know the situation has mostly nothing to do with the John family!“Even without what happened that night, we’d still go against Harvey York somehow.“That said, I’ll admit that we’re at fault for what happened then.“But since Harvey dares to kill Freddy Garcia while he’s resting in the hospital, completely disrespecting the Celestial Temple…“Then it’s only natural for us to demand a fair statement!“An eye for an eye!“That’s the way the world works!”A cold gaze was showing in Frankie’s eyes. He had been living in Flutwell for so many years. He was Joseph Bauer’s very own sworn brother. He had never endured such an embarrassing situat
That said, the royal palace would never allow people outside the borders to establish a school in Country H. That was why the Indians never succeeded for the longest time.But who would have thought that the John family would actually give away such a permit?Even Frankie Garcia, usually calm and collected, could not help but show a tinge of excitement in his eyes.The permit was way more valuable than Freddy Garcia’s life!If Frankie knew that he could exchange Freddy’s life with the permit…He would have ended his life himself!Besides, the Indians would have a chance to invade Country H or maybe even destroy the very cornerstone of the country, Longmen itself!If Country H and India were to go to war, the Indians would obviously reap all the benefits.Simply put, the permit had opened up an opportunity for them.Frankie immediately grabbed the documents without any hesitation.“Ms. John! Please tell this to Mr. John!“As long as the Bharata Business Council is alive, the
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
