A group of people in black robes charged into Charity Garden, swords in hand.Their heads were raised high, and their hands were heavily callused. It was apparent that they were experts.They moved orderly and surrounded Jeff’s men as soon as they got inside.Langston looked horrified. “Rachel?! What are you doing here with your men?”Clare was immediately furious.“ Longmen’s Law Enforcement have no business being here!”“You think you can get yourself involved in anything that you want?!”The rest of the crowd watched with frantically twitching eyes.Everyone in Flutwell knew what Longmen’s Law Enforcement represented.They were Longmen’s police force.Not only were they powerful, but they also wielded powerful authority. They were granted special permission to take out whoever was necessary before making their reports by the royal court.Recently, Rachel had been rising to power within Flutwell’s upper social circle.A lot of people understood how she operated.Whi
“I’d like to see how you’ll get out of the situation after acting so high and mighty!”“You’ll regret it soon enough! You’ll pay for your ignorance!”The mistresses bore ugly, wretched looks.They were already used to Jeff’s arrogance and dominant attitude.Usually, they would usually be the ones humiliating others behind Jeff.When had they been on the receiving end? Thus, they couldn’t accept this fact.Rachel showed no emotion, unaffected by their outbursts.“Even if God shows up in the flesh, I’ll still stand with Sir York!”“Anyone who goes after him, dies!”Langston and the others were horrified. Everyone knew Rachel was the vice head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement. She was considered to be half a citizen of Flutwell.Despite that, she was working for an outsider with reckless abandon!Her attitude toward the situation would only cause more confusion.“I have to admit, you’re pretty damn bold!”“Not only did you suppress East Wood Hall, but you also surrounded my
Clare and the other women almost screamed out of fear.Langston and the others watched with frantically twitching eyes; they went weak after seeing what happened in front of them.They could tell Harvey was a dominant man…But they didn’t think he was actually ruthless enough to shoot Jeff!Did he really not fear the consequences?“Ngh!”Jeff’s body swayed to the point he almost fell, but he still gritted his teeth, desperately stopping himself from screaming.A prominent figure like him wouldn’t be able to stand any kind of shame.Harvey pointed his firearm at Jeff’s right arm, his eyes cold. “Where’s Mandy?”Jeff chuckled coldly, his face filled with disdain.“I don’t know!”“Shoot me again if you dare!”The guests were infatuated by his show of courage and quietly cheered him on. ‘That’s what a real man looks like!’Ordinary men would’ve given up at this point.“Fine.”Harvey nodded.Bang!This time, he pulled the trigger on Jeff’s right arm.Even the all-power
Jeff’s expression changed once again.He could accept a lot of things…But he couldn’t accept the fact that everything he owned would be given to his two brothers.Especially Joseph!In the past, Joseph was only his follower—his servant.How could he accept the fact that Joseph would be taking his place?After pondering the situation, he finally cast away his useless arrogance and calmed himself down.He would end up a lot worse if he didn’t, after all.“Let me call someone,” he said, his face a horrible expression.Rachel smiled, and took the phone out of his pocket.Jeff then dialed a number. A cold voice could be heard from the other side.“What are your orders, Young Master Bauer?”Jeff’s expression changed before he exclaimed, “Send Mandy Zimmer back to Hearthstone Corporation right now!”Jeff slowly pushed the firearm away from his head, remaining absolutely calm. “One more thing,” he said, his eyes blank as he looked at Harvey.“I decided to give you back the mon
Elanor had a faint smile when she saw Harvey calming down.She glanced at Harvey with a profound look on her face, and said quietly, “I have to admit, you’re very bold. The things you do are out of the ordinary.”“You killed your way to Charity Garden all by yourself, then you humiliated Young Master Bauer before shooting him in the arms.”“Aren’t you scared of him lashing out?”Elanor’s voice seemed to grow a little colder.“Am I supposed to call you reckless or bold?”A hint of rage could be seen in Elanor’s distant expression.Instead of losing her classy persona, the unspeakable aura she exuded was amplified by the emotions inside her.She had a face that was asking for punishment, yet, any man would want to be with her.She would be hated at first, but any man would want to conquer her after being with her for a while.“Are you done talking?”Harvey showed no emotion.“Sit down already.”“I’m already giving you enough respect for letting you off the hook for what happ
Elanor’s expression changed; drops of sweat could be seen gliding down her head.She didn’t expect Harvey to be this hard to deal with, and that he was able to see through Jeff so easily.Simply put, Jeff’s actions were as clear as day to Harvey.Harvey narrowed his eyes at Elanor for a while before flashing her a small smile.“But don’t worry.”“Since I’m here, that means I’m willing to work together with your young master despite his schemes.”“After all, we’ll all get what we need in this cooperation.”“You staying here is enough to show Jeff’s attitude toward the situation.”“Why don’t you tell me what Jeff wants me to do instead?”“I’ll be able to let go of today’s grudge, and I’ll happily cooperate with him.”Elanor finally let out a sigh upon hearing Harvey’s words.She thought Harvey would go against Jeff without hesitation because of Mandy’s kidnapping.But judging from the situation, Harvey had his bottom line and his way of doing things as well.Since Jeff didn’
Elanor froze.“Why? What makes you think that I’d say that?”Harvey stood up and picked up the check with a tiny smile.“You’re the fifth mistress. You’ll never become the lady of the Bauer family…”Harvey turned around and left after that.While Elanor’s expressions were constantly changing, Rachel entered the room.She casually put down a check in front of Elanor.Elanor’s eyes twitched frantically after taking a look at it.Seventy million dollars was written on it.The check was clearly signed by Harvey beforehand.Elanor’s eyes sharpened into a hard glare. “What’s the meaning of this?” she demanded coldly.“Is he trying to buy me off?”“Let me tell you something! Young Master Bauer’s women can never be bought!”“We only live for Young Master Bauer!”“Calm down.”Rachel tapped Elanor’s smooth shoulder, calm.“Sir York isn’t planning to buy you off.”“He just wants you to know that there are times when all the emperor’s concubines are sent to limbo.”“Let alone a
There was an elderly person sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall.His eyes were bulging out; he wasn’t breathing at all, nor was he moving a single inch. It was as if he was already dead.“Pay us what’s been owed, you b*stard! How do you not understand this?!”A hunk with a chiseled body was screaming viciously at Dillon.“My father loves martial arts, but my family didn’t allow him to train because of his old age!”“And then you people showed up!”“You were giving out flyers on the streets! My father got one of them!”“He came here to train after seeing that he can have three days here for free!”“What happened after that? He couldn’t even get a move down before dying!”“Is this a Budokan or a goddamn mortuary?!”“You’re killing people!”The other members of the family were completely infuriated after hearing the man’s words.“That’s right! Stop trying to lead your students astray if you can’t even teach them properly!”“You’ll pay for my grandfather’s life!”“En
"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
