“I’m the one being wronged here!Harvey York showed an innocent expression on his face.“My wife and I were only passing by here!“Though, I did see Joseph Bauer beating up Ruby Murray when we came here.“I think Ruby was also fighting back…“They were screaming all over the place too! It was a pretty good fight!“The others went to stop them after that before everything turned out this way.“This is the truth. It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not…“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be going now.“My wife passed out when she saw such a bloody scene. I need to get her to a hospital…”Then, Harvey lifted Mandy onto the backseat of the Toyota Prado.Right when he was about to hop on the driver’s seat, Lucca Bauer immediately came to his senses before kicking the door shut.“Do you think I’m stupid or something?!“Ruby is Young Master Bauer’s most trusted subordinate! Even if she died, it wouldn’t be Young Master Bauer who did it!“At least find a better excuse to blam
The card had a gold stamp on it, labeling the name “Samuel Bauer”!Everyone immediately looked over after seeing such flamboyant calligraphy on the card.Joseph Bauer’s expression instantly worsened.Samuel Bauer was both the master of the Bauer family and Longmen.He rarely stayed with the family, so Grandma Bauer would usually be the one taking control.The card was handwritten to show Samuel’s trust in the person holding it. This was proof that Harvey York was Samuel’s important guest!After all, the card had the same authority as the man himself!Not just Joseph, everyone who belonged in the Bauer family was also showing horrendous looks.They could not fathom the fact that the card was with Harvey.In reality, Samuel had already given this to Harvey a long while ago, but he had never had the chance to use it.He did not expect that he would finally pull this out after so long.After seeing Lucca Bauer’s sluggish expression, Harvey reached out and patted his face.“What
The tables were instantly turned. Lucca Bauer seemed like he had control over the entire situation, but Harvey York immediately took it all away.Harvey showed a stern look on his face.He thought Lucca would have shown some fear after seeing Samuel Bauer’s keepsake, no matter how arrogant he was…But he never expected that he would start attacking without any hesitation.This only meant one thing: Samuel was in a dire state, and he was probably about to die.The fight for the Bauer family’s throne was also almost at an end.If that weren’t the case, Lucca would not act irrationally.Harvey could feel a sense of danger at this moment. He figured out that Lucca belonged to the young master, who never showed himself since the very beginning, Harold Bauer.If it were not for such a powerful man backing up Lucca, he would not have come out just to go against Harvey and ruin Jeff Bauer’s plans.Under those circumstances, it would be best for Harvey to take Lucca down before anythin
A cold gaze could be seen in Harvey York’s eyes after hearing Lucca Bauer’s words.He glared at Lucca indifferently and said, “What did you say? I can’t really hear you.”“I’ll repeat it!Lucca chuckled coldly.“If anything happens to me, not only will you have to die, your wife, friends, and family will have to join you! Your ancestors will also be dug up!“We’ll make sure they all burn to a goddamn crisp!“What? Are you mad? Then, hit me!“Come on!”Lucca kept leaning toward Harvey with an arrogant look on his face.Slap!Harvey swung his palm across Lucca’s face without wasting a single second. Lucca was completely stunned.“This one’s for you disrespecting your master!Slap!“This one’s for you disobeying the damn law!Slap!“This one’s for you being so arrogant that it’s stupid!“You don’t even know who I am, and yet you’re here standing up for someone else?“What?“Do you think you’re impressive?“Do you think I won’t hit you?”Harvey kept swinging his palm ac
The Range Rovers immediately stopped as soon as the distant voice echoed out.A large group of men in robes appeared after the car doors opened.The men instantly surrounded Lucca Bauer, Harvey York, and the others around them.Harvey squinted. He did not expect that Jeff Bauer would use the Longmen Warband’s authority.He only heard about half of Longmen’s branch leaders, along with the Inner and Outer Halls supporting Jeff…But after seeing the sight, he finally understood just how immense Jeff’s authority was.Without a doubt, Jeff’s power would definitely be on another level if he decided to go all out. Someone like Joseph would not even be able to compare.While Harvey was curiously watching the sight, a young woman in a black robe walked out of the passenger’s seat of the car in front.Not only did she have an attractive figure, but her cool expression also showed off her heroic figure.More importantly, an unspeakable sense of calmness and confidence could be felt when s
“This guy kept slandering me for no reason, claiming I forged your master’s keepsake. He pointed his weapon at me. He’s even planned to kill my entire family and burn my ancestors to a crisp…Harvey York seemed indifferent.“And all you did was cut his pay for six months?“As Jeff Bauer’s subordinate, are you just going to ignore me like that?“Can you sleep at night like this?”Arya’s face immediately darkened after hearing Harvey’s doubts.Lucca let out a cold chuckle.“Who do you think you are, you b*stard?!“We don’t need you to teach us how to do things!“Do you think you can take me down just because you have Eldest Young Master Bauer by your side?“Let me tell you something! I also belong to the Bauer family.“We all have the same blood, even if I’m just a relative!Lucca showed a wretched smile.“It’s already good enough for you that I’m not getting paid!“Lowly people like you have no right to even be mentioned in front of me!“I’ll let you go for Arya’s sake…
Harvey York did not even give him a chance to speak.He threw the blade in his hand right through Lucca Bauer’s throat.Pfft!Blood spurted out of Lucca. Constant gargling could be heard at that moment. It was obvious that Lucca was on the verge of death.After seeing what had happened…Joseph Bauer, who was trembling on the ground after being crippled, was filled with complete shock. He could not believe the sight before him.He did not expect Harvey to be this domineering.Crippling Joseph was nothing…But he even took Lucca’s life right before Arya without showing respect toward Jeff Bauer!Everyone could tell that even God would not be able to save Lucca’s life this time.At this moment, all that was left on his face was resentment, rage, and disbelief.He thought that Arya’s arrival would give him an out despite the fact that Harvey would get away unscathed. That way, he would at least be able to prepare himself before dealing with Harvey again…But he did not think Ha
“Harvey York! You b*stard!”Arya Johnson came to her senses then.She did not believe that Harvey would take Lucca Bauer’s life right before her.After all, she had been giving warnings, saying that this was her rule, Jeff Bauer’s rule…But Harvey could not be bothered.Arya was boiling with anger at that moment.That said, she had no other choice but to accept the truth.She was mad at Harvey for running his mouth however he pleased. If word about this incident spread, Jeff and Harold Bauer’s conflict would be exposed to the public!The conflict between the two would escalate because of this!Harold would even think that Jeff was intentionally provoking him!Jeff would most definitely not benefit from the situation if it escalated this way.Without a second thought, Arya really wanted to strangle Harvey at that very second.“Did you not hear what I just said?!” she exclaimed furiously.“I told you to let Lucca go!“We’re supposed to deal with him when he gets back! You h
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
