Half an hour later, the stocks of Flutwell’s business alliance dropped by a dozen points.Right as the stocks were rising, a huge amount of capital flooded into the market.The capital went straight for the alliance, buying short stocks in an instant.The investors were completely shocked when they saw hundreds of thousands of pending orders.They all sold their stocks almost at the same time, afraid that they’ll turn into worthless numbers.In just a few minutes, Flutwell’s business alliance’s stocks plummeted from forty-four dollars to only twenty-eight dollars.One-third of the alliance’s billion-dollar market value was immediately gone.Aside from the people in Flutwell, who were following the situation, investors from abroad were completely in the dark.The simplest way to stop a situation like this is always to prevent it from happening.Under these circumstances, the stock prices of Flutwell’s business alliance would be completely slaughtered if people kept selling thei
The stock market opened up once again in the afternoon.Harvey didn’t leave the Bauer family’s courtyard just yet; he showed Flutwell’s business alliance’s stocks right at the entrance through a projector.Clearly, Harvey was planning to get into the family’s heads.After seeing that, the families who thought badly of Joseph walked right into the courtyard.They were all trying to cause trouble for Flutwell’s business alliance anyway; it would be a waste if they didn’t take whatever they wanted inside.While the furious battle of the stock market was ongoing, Mandy, who was inside Hearthstone Corporation, suddenly heard her phone ringing incessantly.She wasn’t planning to pick up the call, but she had no other choice after seeing the name on the screen.She let out a sigh.“I told you not to trade more stocks!”“Why won’t you just listen to me for once?!”“Not only did you put all your life savings in Flutwell’s business alliance, you’re even buying on margin?”“You only le
“Propose?”Ruby froze; even she couldn’t comprehend just how stupid Lilian actually was.But for the sake of the plan, she remained calm and collected.“Mrs. Yates, of course Young Master Bauer will propose to CEO Zimmer. But not today, and not right now.”“We wanted you to call her here to ask for her help…”“What kind of help?”Lilian was confused.“Your dear son-in-law is causing Young Master Bauer trouble right now.”“Young Master Bauer is extremely unhappy. We hope your daughter can convince Harvey to stop.”“This will do no good to anyone involved, after all!”There was something Ruby didn’t say: even if Mandy couldn’t help, they would still use her to distract Harvey anyway.Everything had to be done before the end of the stock market that afternoon. If not, it would all be for naught.“That b*stard’s causing trouble for Young Master Bauer?!”Lilian instantly raised her voice.“Doesn’t he want my daughter to live in peace?!”“Don’t worry! I’ll make sure Mandy deal
“Enough talk!”“What do you want?!”Mandy was cautious.Ruby chuckled.“You should talk to CEO Zimmer instead, Mrs. Yates.”“It’s inconvenient for us outsiders to get involved.”“As long as CEO Zimmer accepts our proposal, we’ll make your wishes come true.”As soon as she heard Ruby’s words, Lilian stared right at Mandy, as if she was injected with adrenaline. “That b*stard Harvey’s causing trouble to Young Master Bauer! I don’t know what kind of friends he’s making for him to do this, but he’s screwing with Young Master Bauer’s stocks right now!”“Call him right now!”“Tell him to stop this at once!”“If he doesn’t, I’ll teach him a lesson he won’t forget!”Mandy froze. Immediately after, she glared fiercely at Ruby.“You’re shameless!”Ruby replied with a faint smile.“How could you say something like that?”“We didn’t ask for this. Your mother did.”“As long as you give Harvey a phone call and tell him to stop what he’s doing to Young Master Bauer…”“Your mother w
However, four of Mandy’s bodyguards stepped out without hesitation.Mandy swiftly rushed toward the front door.She knew she had to get out no matter what.If she fell in Ruby’s hands, she would be used against Harvey one way or another.For the time being, she wasn’t worried about Lilian’s safety.She could tell Lilian was on the same boat as the enemy.“You can’t leave, Mandy!” Lilian yelled instinctively.Her stocks would be gone forever if Mandy left!It was a hundred and fifty million dollars!Mandy quickly left without even bothering to look back.Bam, bam, bam!Before Mandy could even get to her car, screams of pain could be heard from behind.The bodyguards were all sent flying.Blood splattered everywhere as they fell to the ground; they lost consciousness in an instant.Ruby grinned as she strutted out with her men.Naturally, she couldn’t afford to have Mandy slip away at this point.“Go, CEO Zimmer!”The bodyguard who stayed to keep a lookout took off the s
“Harvey?!”“Why is this b*stard already here?!”Ruby instinctively looked over; her heart immediately skipped a beat after seeing the person in front of the car.She quickly revealed a small smile as she approached Harvey, with Mandy’s hair in her hand.“Aaagh!”Mandy couldn’t help but let out a scream as her hair was pulled around.Ruby casually slapped Mandy’s beautiful face before hissing coldly, “Scream! Scream louder!”“Let your husband hear! See what happens if you go against Young Master Bauer!”Mandy grunted after feeling a sharp pain on her face.She held her tears back when she looked at Harvey.“Harvey!”After seeing Ruby treating Mandy in such a way, and the blood and scars on Mandy’s face, Harvey’s eyes glowed with murderous intent.He took a deep breath and asked, “Are you okay, Mandy?”“I’m fine…” Mandy replied, though she was in pain.Harvey managed to calm down when he ensured Mandy was fine.He didn’t think Joseph would actually be this shameless.They
The strong men in suits were in high spirits when they saw Harvey York at such a disadvantage.They had been suffering quite a bit because of Harvey.The Bauer family’s courtyard was still completely surrounded.They finally had the chance to take revenge…“I swear. If anything happens to Mandy Zimmer, every single one of you, including Joseph Bauer, will die,” exclaimed Harvey after taking a deep breath. Not even a single hint of emotion could be felt from those words.Murderous intent covered the entire place.“Oh? Are you going to kill me?“What? Do you really cherish your wife that much?Ruby Murray showed a faint smile.“Well then! After you make your people stop their actions, you must also kneel!“Beg me!“If you don’t, this woman dies!”Ruby let out a loud cackle.The men in suits were laughing out loud as well.Lilian Yates, who remained inside the villa, was showing a playful look on her face while watching the sight.‘How dare this b*stard try to go against Yo
Ruby Murray felt extremely conceited at that moment. She arrogantly glared at Harvey York while flailing her firearm around.“You’re still standing?!” she exclaimed while pointing at Harvey.Lilian Yates was also happily waiting for Harvey to give in.In her eyes, a son-in-law like Harvey had no right to go against someone like Joseph Bauer.Her stocks would not plummet if Harvey had just kneeled. That way, she would not have to lose anything. Her daughter also would not have to be treated like this.In Lilian’s head, everything happened because of Harvey.“Alright. I’ll kneel. Just don’t do anything…”Harvey heaved a sigh, as if he had given up. His knees were slowly bending down…But right when everyone thought he was actually kneeling, he instantly propelled forward like an arrow.Fwoosh!Harvey flew right past dozens of men before landing directly in front of Ruby.Ruby felt incredibly sluggish. She did not expect Harvey to be this strong to do such a feat.The men gasp
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"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
