“What’s going on here?!“What are you doing?!“Do you people have warrants?!“How dare you arrest people and look at our surveillance cameras as you please?!“Who gave you the nerve?!”Rapid footsteps could be heard from outside before eight people walked in.The person leading the group was Senior Miller himself.His respectful demeanor was entirely replaced by rage when he pointed at Vivian Hall and the others.“Are you people braindead?!“Don’t you realize what place this is?!“Without a warrant, without our permission, the police aren’t allowed to do anything here!“I’m giving you three minutes! Release every single one of them in this instance!“Get out of here when you’re done!“If not, I can even fire every single one of you with a single phone call!”Naturally, Senior Miller was not just the boss of the Script Murder. He was also one of the shareholders of Film City.He substituted himself as the boss of the place at that moment.He still acted fiercely, even in
“You…”Senior Miller shuddered in anger after hearing Vivian Hall’s words. Even his hand was trembling incessantly when he pointed at her.Harvey York wiped his hand with some tissue and said calmly, “Alright, enough nonsense.“How will you give me a fair statement about Xynthia Zimmer?”“Why the f*ck should I do that in the first place?!” howled Senior Miller while covering his face.“She shot Larisa Lee! She has to pay!“So what if Mrs. Lee beat her up?! She did it out of love!“This has nothing to do with me!“Let me tell you something, you b*stard!“You’re not the only one with support in the police force!“You’re all dead if I make a call there!”Naturally, Senior Miller was still an egotistical man, despite being slapped around many times in front of everyone.He would not forgive himself if he did not restore his dignity.“Is that so? How impressive.Harvey crossed his legs while sitting on the couch.“Then, call anyone. I’ll give you half an hour.“I do want to
Logan Bowie, acting all high and mighty before, kneeled instantly with embarrassment and anxiety written on his face.At this moment, Senior Miller and the others were completely sluggish.They did not expect that the prominent figure, Logan, would kneel after seeing Harvey.He even called him “Sir.”Harvey was indifferent then.If he remembered correctly, Logan had already been taught a lesson previously…Not only did he not learn from it, but he was also taking advantage of people at large and standing up for malicious people.Logan would have had his way again if it were not for Harvey.“Come here.”Without a second thought, Harvey hooked his finger toward Logan with a cold expression.Logan’s head was completely numb while he trembled uncontrollably.After thinking of the warnings Harvey had given previously, he could almost feel himself blacking out.But what else could he possibly do then?He crawled his way toward Harvey with an indulging look on his face.While Se
“No! I wouldn’t dare!“I was just joking, Sir York!”Logan Bowie trembled uncontrollably with his head lowered down in fear.What a joke!Lecture Harvey York?Right there?He had no right.“You wouldn’t?Harvey lightly patted Logan’s face.“If I remember correctly, you also said something similar last time.“I taught you a lesson before…“But then what happened? You’re still out here taking advantage of people at large.“Looks like you need another lesson!”“I’m sorry, Sir York!“I’ll give you a fair statement right now!”“How?” asked Harvey.Logan’s expression frantically changed before he willingly twisted his left arm.With the sound of a loud crack, his arm immediately snapped.He then showed an indulgent look in front of Harvey while cold sweat dripped down his face.“Not enough,” replied Harvey calmly.“Of course. Of course.”Logan respectfully bowed before he pointed at one of his subordinates.“You! Come here!“Break my other arm!”An inspector hesitantl
“You’re here, Mr. Kamino!“I didn’t want to disturb your rest…“But this b*stard here has been causing big trouble on our turf!Senior Miller showed a helpless look when he complained to Ai Kamino.“He even said you had no right to oppose him even if you were here!“You’re nothing to him!”Naturally, Senior Miller instinctively tried to fan the flames so that Ai would lash out at Harvey York.Slap!Even before he was done talking, Ai had already slapped him to the ground.Blood was trickling from the corners of Senior Miller’s mouth.He shivered for a moment before whispering, “I’m sorry, Mr. Kamino! I didn’t mean to cause all this!“I really didn’t!”Senior Miller did not know why Ai decided to slap him in the face. All he could do was crawl up from the ground and apologize.Slap!Ai sent Senior Miller flying with another slap on the face.Senior Miller gritted his teeth when he crawled up from the ground before he kneeled before Ai.“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!“I w
“How dare you, you b*stard?!”Senior Miller and the others were showing cold gazes when they saw Harvey York acting this arrogant in front of Ai Kamino. They were on the brink of lashing out at that moment.Ai waved his hand, telling those people to calm themselves down.Then, he ordered someone to bring a chair before he sat in front of Harvey with a lit cigar in his mouth.After taking a few puffs, Ai showed a warm smile.“Since you want your statement, young man…“Why don’t you tell me what you want instead?”Harvey glanced at Ai and replied calmly, “Fifty million dollars as a mental loss fee.“I want to know why there was a bullet in your prop firearm.“I want the people involved to cooperate with the investigation and be dealt with according to the law!“I want Mrs. Lee to apologize to Xynthia Zimmer and break her arms to show her sincerity!“I’ll only let you off the hook once everything’s done.”Harvey calmly took a sip of tea after, as if he did not realize how shoc
“And what if I refuse?”“Refuse?Ai Kamino scoffed.“Do you think you have the right to do that?“Don’t you realize what this place is?“This is Flutwell’s Film City, my turf.“Flutwell’s business alliance, Young Master Bauer, and the Golden Palace stand behind me!“Even if you’re from one of the five hidden families or the top ten families, you should consider before deciding to cross every single one of these people for such a trivial matter!“After all, it’s still easy to deal with the situation since it’s just between you and me.“But if you decide to let the cops ruin the business here…“Even I wouldn’t know what’ll happen next!“Usually, you wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility alone. If you’re not careful, the people behind you will also have to pay the price!“Sometimes, it’s better to leave each other an out for a better future.“You’re a smart young man. You should understand when to stop, right?’Then, Ai pointed at the check on the ground.“Pick up the
Ai Kamino calmly blew out a puff of smoke before it dispersed right in front of Harvey York soon after.Ai then showed a faint smile.Naturally, he was pretty content with his total control of the situation.Ai believed that Harvey was a slightly capable man, but he would still kneel before him and pick up the check.Harvey was not upset after having smoke blown toward his face.“Mr. Kamino, I’m not happy with your proposal at all,” said Harvey while holding his teacup.“I do hope that you can do what I requested immediately.“Nobody has the right to bargain with me.”“You’re still too young. There’s no need to be this stubborn,” replied Ai with a profound tone, smiling faintly.“You should know that harmony brings wealth.“Respect goes both ways.“If you pay me some respect, I can do the same to you, right?”Harvey merely smiled.“It’s a shame that your respect means absolutely nothing to me.“It won’t give me a fair statement.”“I already told you what I can offer,” re
Reginald was already lying on the ground. But even when he was shaking, he yelled sternly, "Be gentler! My wife isn't getting any younger. What will I do if something happens to her?!"It was obvious that Reginald and his wife had a great relationship. Otherwise, he would not be so nervous.Meanwhile, Veer felt constrained as he was commanding the security guards. On one hand, he had to ensure the ropes were strong enough to keep his mother under control. On the other hand, he had to ensure the only security guards left would not touch her and collapse.If that happened, the Judd family would be history.When Marlee saw the chaos, she rushed in and quickly yelled, "Dad! I've brought Master Harvey here!""Master Harvey!" Veer hollered, as if he had seen his savior. "I've made the wrong decision earlier, but please forgive me and don't use it against me. Please, do something and help my family!"Even Reginald asked Harvey for help with a gentler tone. "Please, Master Harvey. I've m
The night was especially dark tonight.Harvey knitted his eyebrows when he arrived at the Judd family residence.The entire residence was covered in darkness, seemingly dilapidated. As the wind howled, he almost thought this was a haunted location and all manners of ghosts and spirits would show themselves."Master Harvey! You're finally here!" When Harvey was at the entrance, Marlee crawled out of the residence, her hair disheveled. She did not care about manners at all and simply dragged Harvey to the back of the residence immediately without any care.Harvey saw many members of the Judd family inside, but their faces were all panic-stricken and pale. All of them were shaking; some had even collapsed on the ground, convulsing. Some even had white foam coming out from their mouths.What was happening in the residence seemed apocalyptic."Harvey… No… Master Harvey… After you left, Eridan set up and began his ritual. Everything went well initially, but as soon as the six hours you
Vaughn blinked when he heard what Rachel had just said.Oh, damn!Even the women who served Harvey could be so full of pride? Just one move?Vaughn wanted to see how one move would be enough to take so many people down, especially when all of them were armed with dangerous weapons. Even if they were all to kneel and wait for Rachel to give them a slap, one move would not be enough, right?Harvey did not answer Vaughn as he looked at his confused look. Instead, Harvey simply signaled to him to watch. They simply looked at Rachel strolling toward the so-called fighters from the School of Astronomers. In the next instant, she closed her eyes. Her right hand pressed against the hilt of the blade on her waist. She instantly pulled the blade out in a flash, revealing a glint of silver light.And in a moment, all that could be heard within the courtyard was screams of pain as Vaughn looked in shock. All the fighters from the School of Astronomers had blood trails on their wrists or nec
Harvey blinked, stupefied. "They managed to expand the business of geology into something like that? I wonder what the founders of the School of Astronomers would think if they found out about this. Will they crawl out from their graves? Don't any of the top families know about this? Why do all of you still treat them as master geomancers?"Vaughn curled his lips. "Of course we know. But the School of Astronomers still held a lot of influence. No one was willing to reveal them for who they really are. Not to mention that they possess some great skills, and Eridan wasn't really someone without skills. That was how he managed to get the reputation of being the top geomancer in Wolsing…"Harvey nodded and glared at the leading man. "Looks like Eridan is very upset with me today for him to seek me out like this."However, almost six hours had passed, and the hour that Harvey spoke of was quickly arriving. To think that Eridan did not put his whole effort into preparing for it and instea
When Harvey, Vaughn, Tyson, and the others sat to have some coffee and prepared to order some food deliveries for a quick meal, a loud engine roar could be heard from outside the estate.Then, the door into the estate was kicked open and dozens of men in black walked in. All of them had vicious looks. It was obvious that they were not there to make friends.They all marched over when they saw Harvey and the others having coffee in the courtyard. Next, a slender man walked over with a machete and scanned the surroundings. He coldly asked, "Which one of you is Harvey York?"Show yourself so we can kill you. Don't make us hurt the innocents. I'll give you one minute. If you don't show up, don't blame me if I kill everyone here!"Then, the man holding a machete signaled and waved his hand. All the men in black behind him even pointed bolts hidden under their sleeves at Harvey and the others. Some even whipped out their firearms and showed their licenses, trying to demonstrate just how
Once Harvey was back in his estate, he did not dwell on what happened at the Judd family residence today. Instead, he reflected on what had happened in the past few days.Firstly, Vaughn was ready to take over the Thompsons of Wolsing with the support of Tyson and the others. Everything needed to be done before the end of Hector's mourning period, or at the very least on the day itself.Secondly, nothing could have been done with the Country H Commercial Group. Elric would not easily give up the post of the next chairman. Not only was this for his own benefit, but the fact that Emery wanted it was enough to make Elric do everything in his power to.Thirdly, it was about the Country H Martial Arts Alliance. He had already crippled one of the so-called Four Kings of the Alliance and took him as his own. No one would trouble him for the time being. The only thing he needed to do was to wait for the full moon's night, and he could finish everything in one swoop by crippling those from t
"That's enough, Veronica!" Marlee's face hardened. "No matter how good Master Eridan is, that's not a reason to treat Master Harvey like this. Not only did he heal Grandma in the first place, but we also have to respect him because he's willing to come to our family this time. We…""Enough!" Reginald was getting slightly annoyed, so he immediately made the decision. "It looks like I have no say in this despite being your grandfather, Marlee? Since you have so much to talk about, you can leave too. Otherwise, you'll take full responsibility if your grandmother's rest is interrupted!"Someone like Reginald knew how to humiliate someone without even pointing his finger at them. While he was scolding Marlee, he was actually humiliating Harvey. Since someone of his age hated the youths, who were so energetic and thought highly of their capabilities.Perhaps he did have some talent, but how could his talents compare to a true expert? It was as if he was the only one who could deal with th
"How dare you!" Eridan bellowed, his body shaking with anger. "You have a sharp tongue and like to make things up! I'm willing to bet on the reputation of the School of Astrologers that she will be fine for six days and nights!"I will use the Cleansing Technique in the arts of Geomancy to cleanse the evil spirits within her one more time. Then, I will slightly change the configuration before demolishing that mountain shrine! Everything will be solved then!"Then, Eridan pointed his finger at Harvey's face and said, "Stop criticizing my expertise when you do nothing, boy!""That's right. Stop being so proud over nothing," Veronica said to Harvey, having no liking for him at all. "Don't think I don't know just what kind of personality plebeians like you have. Do you think you can do anything you want, and will your status rise once you're acquainted with my family?"In the end, you're just making nonsense that won't be able to solve the problem and make it even worse. Only a piece o
"I'm willing to swear upon my School's name, Ms. Marlee, that I’m the only one who has the power to help the Judds of Wolsing," vowed Eridan with a puff at Marlee."Of course, if someone within your family doesn't trust me, it's fine. Have someone else deal with this, and I shall immediately take my leave. From now on, our school will never step into the Judd family residence, so you better think twice!" said Eridan coldly.It was apparent to all that Eridan was forcing the Judds of Wolsing to make a choice. If there were anyone who believed in Harvey, he would leave. The School of Astronomers had its pride to consider! His reputation as the best Geomancer in Wolsing was not something that was made up either. Whoever dared to question him was to challenge his entire school."Tell your daughter to leave with that charlatan!" Reginald stared at Veer without letting Veer have a chance to say anything. "Otherwise, everything will be too late if Master Eridan leaves because of his bad mo
