Harvey York calmly smiled before he sized up Gael Padlow.“What if I don’t like that?”“You dare go against my goodwill?Gael showed a playful gaze, as if playing a cat-and-mouse game with Harvey. He wanted Harvey to decline the offer from the very beginning.“Then I’m sorry, but I can’t just let you go for Ms. Cobb’s sake.“My reputation would be completely ruined if I did.”Nellie and the others were showing utter disdain after hearing those words.‘He’s still showing off in front of Young Master Padlow?’‘He’s literally standing in the face of death right now!’‘You’re still not backing off after Young Master Padlow gave you an out?! Your sharp tongue will surely cost you!’Gael waved his hand before a dozen people in robes walked up from behind.Every single one of them was showing fierce looks on their faces when they unsheathed their swords.Nellie, Rayne, and the others were playfully chuckling as they saw the sight.Gael showed an arrogant expression, as if he was
‘Her man?’Katy Cobb’s voice was faint, but everyone was completely shocked after hearing those words.Katy’s identity was immense, after all!The Cobb family was not as strong anymore, but their authority was still clearly present!And as the current leader of the Cobb family’s head house with Dean Cobb’s support…Her man’s power was naturally extraordinary as well!Besides the Lee family and Moreno family, nobody in Blackburn City would dare go against Harvey while he was being protected by Katy.Gael Padlow’s identity was quite unique. He was the son of Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance’s vice leader…But he would not be able to budge if Katy insisted on defending Harvey either.Unless the Cobb family actually collapsed and were swallowed whole by Blackburn City’s forces, Katy’s power would still remain.More importantly, Gael had always treated Katy as a woman since he had been pursuing her for the longest time.He was boiling with anger when he heard Katy’s words the
Gael Padlow felt utterly embarrassed as he gritted his teeth.“You better think this through, Katy Cobb! At this point, your grandfather’s no different than a cripple!“Your position as the leader of the head house might not last long!“You only have the right to say all this because there are many people who are pursuing you right now! The Cobb family isn’t brave enough to cut you out of the family, either!“If everything you say were to spread, without those young masters’ support…“What kind of authority would you hold within the family?“How long do you think you can keep putting up this facade?“Are you sure you’re able to keep this man safe?”Gael was furious, but he still managed to keep his cool.He would not believe that Katy would cast away her family’s safety because of some man.After all, this was never about fear at all. This was about worth.“I’ll say this now and say it again in the future…” exclaimed Katy coldly.“Even if the entire Cobb family was here, I’
Gael Padlow showed a horrible expression when Katy Cobb completely maltreated the exchange student.He knew that he had no chance against Harvey York that day.“I admit defeat, Harvey, but there’s always plenty of time!“This woman can’t protect you forever!“I do want to see how long you’ll last like this!”He glared at Harvey while chuckling coldly, then slowly walked away.Nellie Padlow and the others scoffed.‘This outsider thinks he’s impressive just because he’s being kept by that woman…’‘There’s always time for him to suffer his fate anyway.’“Hold it!Harvey spoke up after being silent for a long while.“Did I say that any of you can leave?”Harvey’s invisible aura could be felt enveloping the entire place.He knew it would be best if he got Katy to protect him…But he finally managed to figure out her situation while listening in from the side.Judging from his way of doing things, he would not let Katy suffer for his personal gain.Everyone was showing odd lo
Nellie Padlow covered her face while she stood beside Gael Padlow.“You better know what’s best for yourself, Harvey York!“We’re already letting you off the hook for Ms. Cobb’s sake! We’re giving you a way out right now!“How dare you still ask for more?! You won’t like it if we do actually go all out against each other!”Nellie was filled with utter resentment.Not only did Harvey keep disrespecting him, he even managed to get away scot-free while slapping her around nonstop.For a prideful woman like Nellie, this was just unacceptable.After seeing Harvey recklessly challenging Gael, Nellie finally could no longer hold her feelings back.She hated kept men like Harvey the most.She believed he was just using Katy Cobb’s authority to show off!In Nellie’s mind, Harvey was no match compared to someone like Gael!She was sure Harvey would have died a thousand times already if he did not manage to hook up with Katy.“You want me to stop?”Harvey smiled faintly. He thought t
Boom!Gael Padlow was also a member of the Martial Arts Alliance. His teacher came from the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, and his father was the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance.Not only was his family extremely knowledgeable in martial arts, but he was also quite a gifted man.As soon as he closed in on Harvey York, he instantly threw an immensely terrifying and fierce punch.The shame he endured because of Katy Cobb was all converted into energy that he dished out toward Harvey.According to his judgment, he was sure that every single one of Harvey’s bones would shatter, even if he did not die from the punch.“Die already!”Gael wretchedly chuckled when he pounced forward at lightning speed.The punch alone could kill a bull!To Nellie Padlow and the others, Harvey was scared witless.“You see that, Ms. Cobb?!“This is the man you chose. This is the Cobb family’s live-in son-in-law!“Other than a sharp tongue, what else can this man do?“He’s j
Gael Padlow’s face turned dark in an instant.“I’m Gael Padlow! I belong to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance!“My teacher is the vice leader of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance!“You’ll die for doing this to me!“You shall pay!”Gael spoke up when he was lying on the ground, paralyzed.Bam!“Move.Harvey York instantly kicked Gael aside. His body flew right into a wall before he passed out with blood spurting out of his mouth.“I don’t care who you have behind you. I don’t care what kind of power you have, either.Harvey stepped forward before patting Gael’s pale face.“I’m giving you one chance. Suspend the business.“If I find out that you’re here cheating money again, then don’t blame me for what happens next.”***Nellie Padlow and the others were completely ignored.Harvey kicked the disciples aside before getting in Katy Cobb’s car while keeping Ellen Moreno safe.Then, Katy drove over to the hospital under her family’s name. After sending Ellen to the
Katy Cobb showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes before she cracked a smile again.“I didn’t believe it when people said you were a jerk…“Now, I’m pretty sure that you’re exactly that.“You’re already gone as soon as you’re done playing. You’re completely hopeless.”Harvey York’s mouth twitched. He did not know what to say against Katy’s relentless flirting.After all, it’s always the hardest to accept a beauty’s grace.Harvey would not dare go against the love of such a domineering person.Harvey had no other choice but to change the subject.“Judging from the conversation between you and Gael Padlow, your family must be in deep trouble right now.“Other than the South Sea’s royal family, the three great families have the most extraordinary background.”Katy had no intention of hiding anything from Harvey.“Other than that, the high and mighty Martial Arts Alliance, the first and second-rated families, along with some of the small forces here, have been causing chaos
"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
