“Three things!“Number one: I want 1.5 billion dollars from you!“Number two: grovel and break one of your arms, then apologize to Mr. Kamino!“Number three: get your wife and sister-in-law to serve us for a whole month! Not a day less!Commissioner Thompson showed three of his fingers with a cold smirk on his face.“Of course, you’re not obliged to agree to the terms!“But if you don’t, I have no choice but to take you back and have a nice long chat with you!”Dozens of men in uniforms stepped forward with fierce gazes, as if they were ready to take down Harvey York and smash up the Martial Hall.Harvey heaved a sigh.“I might’ve let you off the hook if all you did was talk big in front of me…“You must have a death wish for taking advantage of people like this!”“How dare you?!Senior Miller walked up with fumes coming out of his mouth.“That’s just how Commissioner Thompson works!“How dare you talk back to him like this?! Do you want to die or something?!“Let me tel
Commissioner Thompson was boiling with anger!‘Does this b*stard think I’m just a decoration or something?!Commissioner Thompson belonged to one of the top ten families!A man like him wouldn’t take humiliation kindly!“You b*stard!“How dare you?!“You’re lawless!Commissioner Thompson was showing a cold expression on his face.“Do you think I don’t exist, Harvey?!”Dozens of men in uniform stepped forward as soon as they heard Commissioner Thompson’s scream.The men had fierce looks on their faces as they surrounded Harvey completely.Harvey merely shrugged.“Did none of you hear that? There are so many of you here!“That guy practically begged me to hit him!“I was just doing as he asked! How am I in the wrong?’“You’re making me very angry, you b*stard! You’re finished!Commissioner Thompson pulled out his firearm and took off the safety before pointing it right toward Harvey.“I’ll take you in right now!“You can try to resist!“But I’ll gun you down right now
Naturally, Commissioner Thompson knew that Rachel Hardy had an extraordinary identity that he could not afford to go against…But he had no choice but to take down Harvey York.If not, he would have nothing to show for Clyde Osborne.Rachel lightly chuckled.“So, you’re saying you will go against me no matter what?”Commissioner Thompson froze before coldly exclaiming, “I’m only calling you the vice head because I respect you!“Don’t even think for a second that you’re actually impressive!“There are some matters that you just can’t butt in!“For example, you have no right to tell me what to do here!”Rachel smiled.“I think you’re misunderstanding.“Do you think I’m that much of a busybody? I’m only here to give you a warning for the sake of our acquaintanceship.“There are some things that will have dire consequences…“Once you go down this path, there’ll be no going back.”Commissioner Thompson frowned before he instinctively rubbed his greasy temples.“Who is he even
While Commissioner Thompson was showing utter disbelief, Nelson Torres walked up and tapped his shoulder.“Sir York is my brother’s good friend. I also look up to him. More importantly, my father is deeply indebted to this man.“Along with Head Balmer and Vice Head Hardy here…“Aren’t you supposed to pay some respect to all of us?”“Or are you saying you want my father to show up here too?“Or rather, would you like to invite the very person you’re supposed to protect?”At that moment, Commissioner Thompson’s face had completely lost all color.Nelson coldly chuckled before slapping Commissioner Thompson to the ground with the back of his palm.“Aaagh!”Commissioner Thompson’s face was utterly swollen when he was slammed onto the ground. Even a tooth came out from his mouth after taking the slap in the face.If it were not for Ai Kamino’s help, he would not even be able to stand up that time.Judging from this, it was clear that Nelson was standing up for Harvey. The slap wa
The wealthy lady from a second-rate family had quite the identity…But she knew full well that she was just a plaything for Commissioner Thompson and people like him.She would not resent Commissioner Thompson, nor would she dare go against the people who seemed to be way more impressive than him.She had no other choice but to glare at Harvey York.She believed that she only got humiliated to this point because of the kept man before her.Without him, why would she even be kicked in the stomach by the person she adored?This was just unforgivable!Harvey could feel the hatred in the woman’s eyes, but he could be bothered at all.Pigs could fly if a woman who could only trample on the weak managed to be successful in anything.Commissioner Thompson rubbed his face before forcing out a smile.“My apologies, Mr. Torres and everyone here.“This b*tch was just being ignorant.“I’ll apologize in her stead.”Then, Commissioner Thompson bowed respectfully.He was a core figure o
Commissioner Thompson’s expression changed.Every powerful figure in this day and age surely has a dark history behind them.Those things were not usually that threatening, but they would surely crumble if someone thoroughly investigated every detail. After seeing Nelson Torres’ look on his face, Commissioner Thompson’s expression frantically changed.He wanted to give in and see if he could redeem himself…But who knew that it would end up like this?He was finished!Not just his future, but his wealth was also about to be robbed from him!Commissioner Thompson showed a deathly glare at Ai Kamino.He would not have gone against Harvey if not for the person in front of him.He would not have ended up this way.All the wealthy ladies covered their mouths in shock.They did not think that Nelson and the others were this capable of dealing with someone like Commissioner Thompson.Senior Miller covered his swollen face with a horrible expression on his face.He realized he h
Nelson Torres’ face was devoid of any smile. Only a stern look was showing on him, as if he represented the law itself.“If you went against the Torres family or me, we would’ve let it slide for the sake of Prince Osborne.“But since you went against Sir York, you said and did things that you shouldn’t have let me hear or see…“I can’t afford to let this slide for the sake of justice and fairness!“Commissioner Thompson will resign tomorrow!“Of course, if you have nothing to fear, you can just ignore the fact that I’ll be conducting thorough investigations on every single one of you here.”Commissioner Thompson’s eyes frantically twitched.‘Nothing to fear?!’He knew full well about the things he did.He would surely suffer if he were investigated.Compared to that, he would rather just give up his position without making a fuss about it.Without a second thought, Commissioner Thompson’s face was filled with pain and unbridled rage.He wanted to lash out. He wanted to beat
Kayden Balmer was not hard to deal with…Rachel Hardy was not to go against either…But with the Torres family…Clyde Osborne would probably be fine.But Commissioner Thompson would definitely have to give up his position.Ai Kamino’s Capital Gang would also be completely taken down. The Gang of Six was definitely about to change.Both of them could not accept that fact…But they had no way to escape from the situation either.“You’re not going to convince them otherwise, Harvey York?!“These prominent figures are declaring an all-out war because of you! What do you think you’ll get out of this?!The wealthy lady kicked in the stomach could not help but speak up. Her gaze was filled with hate and resentment as she glared at Harvey.“You’ve already gotten so much out of this because of your woman!“Don’t you know when to stop?!“Do you know how many people will die if these people go against each other?! Flutwell will be thrown into chaos!“Not only are you not de-escalati
Janus hummed under his breath for a while before saying, "Sir, aren't you overestimating Harvey too much? Think about it. He might be smart, but only a little. On Wolsing's chessboard, he's only a pawn at most. It's pure luck that he can accomplish some things and offend a few people here and there."Emery set down the teacup in his hand and sighed. "Lucky? I admit that he might be lucky, but can someone be so fortunate that he can take over both the Country H Commercial Group and Country H Martial Arts Alliance at the same time when he literally just arrived in Wolsing?"And then, it doesn't matter who goes against him, whether it's a Young Master from the top ten families or the arrogant Islanders, all of them end up badly. And then he even interfered with the top ten families and five hidden families' family matters, which meant that he was already part of the top social circle in our country and had access to our resources."But most importantly, someone like him was completely
Emery's gaze did not even shift as he calmly said, "Speak."Janus whispered, "Linus Xavier, who just came from Country A, had been sent to prison by the precinct. From the news we received from the precinct, this precinct's higher-ups have a vested interest in this, and they've even received some interference from Country A's foreign relations department."That's why the precinct will handle this as fairly as possible. According to my sources, Linus won't be convicted or deported, but he would be locked up for at least three days and three nights."Emery finished the tea from his cup and said, "Isn't he back to regain the Xaviers of Wolsing? How did he end up behind bars when he just arrived? Who did that?""Harvey," Janus did not want to mention the name, but he had to. "The man has a good relationship with Journi and impresses Princess Sienna. And according to my sources, he's also the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group and the representative of Country H's Martial Arts A
"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
Jesse asked a maid to bring over a tablet. Only one video was playing: the video of Linus pulling out his gun. When they saw this, all the officers narrowed their eyes and exchanged looks.The leading officer immediately said, "Alright. Please bring Mr. Linus and the others back to the precinct first. We'll properly interrogate them back there."After that, the leading officer looked at Harvey and said, "I don't care if you're the victim, Mr. Harvey, but you'll need to go back and be investigated. We won't simply frame anyone, but we won't let any criminal go free.""That's fine. I'll accept however you want to investigate this," replied Harvey, with a shrug, as if he had nothing to lose.Six in the evening.The lawyer the Xaviers hired managed to get Harvey out on bail. While Harvey attacked first, his attack was not excessive. Linus and the genetic fighters did not suffer any serious injuries, so he could leave after paying bail of about half a million.Meanwhile, Linus and his
"What's going on here? Do you really think there are no laws here? Who dares to start a fight in the middle of the day?" asked the leading officer.Linus gritted his teeth and glanced at Harvey. "See that man? He hit me! I even lost a few teeth! Catch him! Why are you still standing there?! I'm a guest from Country A! If I'm injured and you don't take care of me, my country is going to make you pay!"All Linus wanted to do right now was to kill Harvey immediately, especially when he remembered how Harvey had slapped his face and he even lost a few teeth.But when the officers heard this was a diplomatic issue, they glanced at each other. It could be complicated to deal with, and their professional lives would be over if they did anything wrong. That was why all the officers wanted to leave and inform the Dragon Palace, one of the Four Pillars dealing with international issues."Officers, what's the big deal with fighting," Harvey said at this time. "At most, you can put me in jail
Argh!Linus got smacked so hard that he was stunned. He opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of blood, and there was a yellow tooth in it. It was quite a terrifying sight. At the same time, half of Linus's face was already swollen.He was utterly surprised.No one would dare do anything like this to him in Country A's elite social circle, even counting those conglomerates who were against each other. At least on the surface, they were all fake and harmonious. But now, someone completely ignored the rules and slapped him directly?This was not something acceptable!Linus immediately raised his head in anger and stared at Harvey. "Darn you! How dare you hit me? Do you have a death wish?"Slap!Harvey did not waste his time and replied. "So what if I hit you?"Slap!"Is your skin thick? Will it hurt my hand?"Slap!Harvey did not stop and slapped him dozens of times using the front and back of his open palm. Linus was beaten to the point that his face was completely bruised. In
"Fine, let's stop wasting our breaths now," Linus said as if he had lost his patience. He immediately stubbed out the cigar in his hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at Yvonne. "I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, I want to see all the Xaviers of Wolsing kneel before me and all your assets tallied."You and you. Wait for me in my presidential suite tomorrow night," ordered Linus, pointing at Yvonne and Sia. If you miss even one of them, then Wolsing no longer needs a Xavier family."After that, Linus gave a despicable smile and waved his hand, wanting to take everyone with him and leave. Everyone from the Xavier family could only watch with dark expressions. Yvonne and Sia's faces were red with anger."I don't think we have to wait until tomorrow," Harvey stood up with his hands behind his back. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the shareholders. And I believe I have enough say regarding this. There's nothing wrong if you want to take something back from the X
Listening to Linus' gloat, Yvonne's expression slightly darkened. "You're shameless, Linus! Using fabricated evidence to threaten us!""Fabricated?" Linus shrugged. "You know best whether these things actually exist or not. I don't care what your aims are, but aren't you the ones signing these contracts? Don't tell me I'm the one signing it?"All I want to do is to reveal the truth, and you suddenly can't take it anymore? All I did was gently remind you that you, Xaviers of Wolsing, were born and raised here in Country H."What, scared? But I remember there's a saying. A clean hand wants no washing. But do you really think you're clean? Maybe, after I expose these secrets, I might be able to help your country find a family that also has many traitors within it."Linus snickered after he said that, looking as despicable as possible."We can explain everything from the beginning to the end," Jesse could not help but reply as he looked at how despicable Linus was. "If worse comes to
"Evidence working with Islanders?" A glint flashed through Yvonne's eyes. "What do you mean?"Jesse also added, "Everything you've presented is just typical business contracts. The Xaviers' businesses are spread throughout the globe, so there's nothing unusual about what you've just shown.While he was saying that, Jesse clenched his right hand slightly. These were some of the contracts they had signed in order to drag Shinto Way into the mud. After what had happened last night, they were supposed to be all destroyed.However, for some reason, there were photos of these contracts in Linus' possession. It was problematic, true, but not exactly serious.Even Harvey put down his cup. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen, and his expression became somewhat serious. Nashon was the same, and the wrinkle on his forehead became even more profound.Linus laughed, noticing everyone's change in expression, and told the lawyer to start showing more photos. As the lawyer did that, Lin
