Elanor took a deep breath.“According to my reports, Prince Osborne hasn’t done anything major yet. He’s probably shocked by what he heard.”“After all, Harvey is a tough nut to crack. He’s been dominant during his time in Flutwell recently.”Jeff chuckled lightly after hearing those words. An unspeakable aura of power could be felt on him.“Interesting. Very interesting!”“Someone dares to act this arrogant in front of me in this day and age?”“My two brothers are quite prominent figures as well. They have no choice but to behave themselves in front of me anyway.”“No matter how strong Harvey actually is, he’s still just a castaway from the Yorks of Hong Kong!”“What can he even do besides being a kept man?”“Run his mouth? Ha!”“Or does he think he’s impressive because he killed Cody?”“He’s just a mortal no matter how impressive he is at martial arts! He’s no match against planes and cannons!”Jeff’s face was frosty. “If I wanted it, I’d have an entire army against hi
“With Harvey, we’ll be able to stir up trouble behind the scenes.”“We’ll use the opportunity to deal with both Joseph and Ken in one go.”“This plan can only be beneficial to us.”Elanor told Jeff her thoughts. This was her plan to succeed after getting information about the situation.After all, she could only rise if Jeff does the same.Her wealth and glory was attached to Jeff.“You’re right.”Jeff nodded.“That said, am I just going to humiliate myself in front of him?” “Am I compromising for a mere outsider?”“If word spreads about this, I’ll be utterly humiliated!”For Jeff, his pride was more important than anything else.He had never bowed down to anyone his entire life. Yet, he was about to do that to an outsider?This was unforgivable!“I know what you’re thinking, Young Master,” Elanor said.“This is a bit embarrassing for you, yes. Your image will be affected if anyone else knows about this.”“But if we look at the bigger picture, working together with Ha
“Alright, enough of this talk. Let’s have some breakfast.”Jeff smiled.“Another thing. While you were coming here, I already sent someone to grab Mandy.”“Harvey’s pretty impressive, right?’“If he finds out where we took his wife and saves her…”“Then I’ll acknowledge his strength!”“If he doesn’t manage to get his wife tomorrow this time…”“I’ll sell her to the Dark Island!”“The chiefs there love tender-looking women like her the most!”Jeff revealed his dominance.“I’d like to see how Harvey will react!”Elanor’s eyes twitched.“You’ll get Harvey furious if you do!”“There’ll be no going back if things go south!”“Didn’t you say he was impressive?”Jeff chuckled coldly.“You wanted him to stand by me and be my ally, right?”“Well, now I’m giving him a chance to show off!”“I’d like to see how he’ll fight back!”“If he can’t scare me, then what right does he have to go against Joseph?”“What right does he have to be my weapon?”“He wouldn’t be worthy!”“Even i
“Maybe, what?” Harvey asked, frowning.“Maybe it was someone from Longmen with a powerful status.”“Judging from the scene, the disciples didn’t even unsheathe their swords yet.”“If it weren’t someone like that suppressing them, this wouldn’t even happen.”Harvey let out a sigh of relief.“Who would have this much power to frighten people from the Law Enforcement?”“There are a few.”“The master of Longmen’s personal bodyguards.”“The three young masters of the Bauer family.”“The people from the Elder Group.”Rachel had a horrible expression.“It’s not that the Law Enforcement can’t deal with them! A lot of the disciples are from Flutwell!”“They wouldn’t dare go against them!”Harvey’s gaze turned cold.“We had a conflict with the Elder Group before, but we’ve never met since then.”“The same goes with the Seventh Young Master.”“Joseph suffered a big loss because of me. He has no time to deal with his problems right now. Why would he come for me?”“The only person
In the evening, A Toyota Prado charged right at the Charity Garden where the event would be held.There was no proof, but judging from the clues and aspects of various conditions, Harvey was sure that Jeff had Mandy hostage.If this was any other time, he would’ve calculated the risks and gathered evidence before taking action.However, he couldn’t wait any longer since his wife was involved.According to his intel, Jeff was a stubborn man who would do as he pleased.Compared to the self-proclaimed strategist, Joseph, who was quite methodical in his actions…Not only was Jeff harder to deal with, but his way of doing things was even more insane.Harvey had no confidence in guaranteeing Mandy would come out of the situation unscathed.He drove the car at lightning speed, charging past red lights and going through shortcuts just to get to the Charity Garden as soon as he could.At the same time, he gave George a call so the latter would hack into the place and send the schematic
Bang, bang, bang!A fighter peeked outside the car window and shot at the Toyota Prado in front without hesitation.Harvey’s gaze turned cold when he heard the gunshots behind him. He intentionally slowed down the car.The moment the leading G-Wagon charged forward, Harvey furiously turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brake.His car drifted right into the G-Wagon, slamming right into it.The G-Wagon let out a horrible sound as it spun in place.Using the momentum of the car, Harvey steered the wheel right into the second G-Wagon.The driver of the G-Wagon instinctively steered away out of fear, but it was still rammed to the side of the road.Vincent, who was a little behind, revealed a horrible look on his face when he saw such driving skills.He knew that Jeff’s enemies were all extraordinary, but he didn’t think that Harvey would be this insane.“You think we’re easy to deal with, you b*stard?!”Seeing Harvey’s arrogant attitude, a fighter in the third G-Wagon op
When the sun finally set, the bustling Charity Garden was lit up with bright lights.Not just the hall, but even the courtyard and field were filled with people.Prominent figures from all around Flutwell were gathered here. Together with the staff members, there were about a thousand people there.This was an extremely grand charity event.The people who came were donating their love to those in need.The exquisite-looking long table was filled with all sorts of refreshments, pastry, and wine.The guest would occasionally have some food while chatting up a storm, exchanging business cards in the process. It was quite the friendly sight.The host of the charity event was none other than the head of the three Bauer family’s young masters, Jeff Bauer.The people who showed up here were considered to be extremely powerful or wealthy.More importantly, they showed up to prove their loyalty to Jeff in his fight for the throne.If Jeff were to rise to power, the people who showed u
Jeff didn’t hold back from looking at Clare. He flashed her a faint smile.“If you don’t mind, why don’t you join me in my place later?”“Let’s have some fun drinking together.”Langston pretended not to hear what his daughter was planning, and held his glass up.After having a few sips, he then said with a smile, “I heard something happened on your end recently, Young Master Bauer.”“Rumors have been spreading about an ignorant outsider demanding money from you!”“I heard he even shot one of your bulls!”“How could this happen in a place like Flutwell? Does the law not matter to him?”“If you don’t mind, I’ll deal with that man for you.”“I’ll teach him to respect his elders!”“I’ll do everything it takes to help you!”There were many people like Langston within the Osborne family.Collateral relatives like him were destined to be doomed for the rest of their lives.Thus, he desperately found a way to attend the charity event.Even if it meant selling out his own daughte
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
After that, the duo were just going to leave like that. Yvonne frowned and then calmly said, "Stop them."After she made her orders, dozens of security guards walked out from the corner. They were all security guards from the Xaviers of Wolsing, and each was extremely strong.They did not attack but simply blocked all the entrances. When Morganna saw that, she was instantly enraged. "What's the meaning of this? How dare you stop the path of those who come from a world of freedom? Do you know what will happen if you do this?"Harvey merely smiled and asked, "World of freedom? Why don't you tell me which world of freedom you're from?""I've already gained permanent residency in Country A, so of course I'm from Country A!" answered Morganna smugly. "Country A is the most advanced country in this world. Now that we have joined Country A, of course we're people of freedom! I'm warning you, now that we're from Country A, your law is useless against us! Now, step out of our way!"Harvey
The expression of the man and woman both darkened with Yvonne's questioning. "Who are you then? What right do you have to question us? How can you prove that this is a private hospital? How can you prove that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department? Who do you think you are? The boss of this place?"The woman cried out arrogantly. Even her arguments were full of disdain."That's right. You're not the boss of this place, so why are you interfering in our matter? Go away, or I'm going to make you pay for our destroyed drone!" The two pretended they did nothing wrong, and Yvonne's sudden appearance spoiled their plans.Harvey observed the two coldly. While they acted very roguishly, their flexibility and arrogant tone showed they were anything but ordinary.At the very least, they were very used to situations like this."I'm sorry, but I'm Saint Mary Hospital's CEO," replied Yvonne with a smile and then pointed at the man's mobile. "Delete everything you've
Harvey calmly asked, "Do we have any leads?"Jesse shook his head. "Currently? No. The one who's behind this hid their tracks too well. I've already sent my people out to investigate the source when this happened, but we didn't get any valuable leads. But at this time, finding the person behind this isn't important. The important thing right now is that we need to save the patriarch. "Otherwise, if anything happens to him, Linus will have another excuse to attack us tomorrow at the press conference."Harvey nodded, pulled out a mobile, and gave it to Jesse. Then he said, "Since I'm heavily suspected of being the person behind this ploy, I can't do anything to help him in this situation. But I believe Oskar will be able to help for my sake.""The National Doctor Senior Oskar Armstrong?" Jesse was slightly stunned when he saw the number on the screen of the phone Harvey handed to him. A moment later, he was already making a call on the other side. He wanted to contact him, but only
