The crowd smirked at Katy and Harvey upon hearing Grandma Cobb’s words.The elders of the Cobb family were glaring coldly at Harvey as well.They wanted to see just what Katy’s man could do under Grandma Cobb’s pressure.Everyone would be happy if Harvey couldn’t do anything; Katy would be sent to the Padlow family in an instant.“Do you want to get the supply rights back, or do you want to force Katy to marry Gael?”Harvey glanced at the crowd with a mocking look; he finally managed to understand the entire situation.Eden didn’t come for Katy this morning of his own will. Grandma Cobb was the one who instigated the entire thing.“Grandma Cobb, give me three days to think. I’ll do my best to solve the problem.”Katy took a deep breath; she would never marry anyone for no reason whatsoever.“Three days?”Eden instantly cut off Katy.“You know that our supplies are about to expire, right?”“We’ll be done for!”“It doesn’t matter if you even solve the problem or not at that
Naturally, the entire Cobb family didn’t think that Harvey had the power to do such a thing.After all, they believed they had already figured out his background.‘At the end of the day, he’s just a tourist from Country H.’‘How can someone like that even deal with the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance?’‘Besides, he even hurt the organization’s top talent, Gael!’‘He’d be dreaming if he thinks that he can fix the situation at this point!’“You want to deal with the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance?”Valery scoffed.“You have no idea how deep the waters here are, yet you’re saying that you can fix this?”Eden glared at Harvey as well.“If you can deal with the situation, I’ll grovel in front of Katy as an apology. I’ll admit that everything I did today was out of impulse and wishful thinking!”“Heh, heh! This kid talks big! He thinks he can just fix all of this?”“Just look at him! I saw him staring at my legs just now! What does he think he can do?”“Even the young
“Right! It’s settled!”“I hope you don’t go back on your word.”Harvey calmly took out his phone before dialing a number.“He’s still trying to pretend? We’ll see how long he can keep this act up!”“He thinks he can deal with the problem with just a single call? Who does he think he is? The prince of the royal family, or the young master of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance?”“Country H has been extremely powerful recently, but he’s still just an outsider! How dare he try to show off in our own country?”“If he can actually solve our crisis with a single phone call, I’ll kneel right in front of him!”Everyone scoffed when they saw Harvey calmly dialing his phone.Nobody expected Harvey to actually do anything.Harvey made the call soon after.Beep, beep, beep!“Who’s this?”A young person’s voice could be heard on the other side of the phone; it was Trey.“It’s me, Harvey,” Harvey replied calmly.The top talent instantly shivered.He was still being very respectfu
An elder desperately tried to control his emotions after making a phone call.“Grandma Cobb, the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance made sure of it. We still have the supply rights, and they’ll come to inspect the goods this afternoon.”The Cobb family trembled in excitement after hearing those words.Not only would their trade be successful, they’d also be able to earn heaps of money; the entire family would be able to continue enjoying their glory and riches.“How did he do that in an instant?!”“We only used half of the cost to get the supplies! We’ll be rich if they actually buy them from us!”“The dividends alone could last us six whole months to spend on whatever we want!”The entire family had odd expressions when they looked at Harvey.The disdain in their eyes was completely replaced by shock and disbelief, followed by the excitement of them getting filthy rich.Grandma Cobb resentfully dialed a number.After a moment, she immediately dropped her phone to the groun
“How about this? Since the problem got solved after you pretended to make a phone call…”“I’ll let you and Katy off the hook since you’re so fortunate!”“Katy can continue being the head of the head house.”“Nobody is allowed to speak about this anywhere else!”“If not, I’ll call the cops on whoever that does!”Grandma Cobb was a little shocked before, but she immediately remembered…Eden had already made a few phone calls to beg people to help in the situation.The people on the other side of the phone kept skimping over the subject, but Grandma Cobb was still hopeful.Naturally, she would think that Eden was the one who dealt with the situation.Katy’s expression changed; she didn’t think Grandma Cobb would go back on her word.Without giving Harvey a chance to speak, Grandma Cobb glanced at Eden with a smile on her face.“My dear boy! Why didn’t you tell me you’ve already dealt with the situation in the first place? You made me worried sick here!”Eden froze for a moment
To flaunt his authority and relationship with Gael, Eden turned on the speakers before dialing the number.A cold and gloomy voice could be heard on the other side soon after.“What now?!”Gael was infuriated; he just got word that Trey managed to give the Cobb family their supply rights back.His father was the vice leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, but the top talent told him something that forced his father to give the supply rights back.After getting Eden’s call, Gael was boiling with anger.That said, he didn’t know what kind of connections the Cobb family had, so he didn’t dare lash out fully.Eden put on a warm smile despite hearing Gael’s not-so friendly tone.“Young Master Padlow! I already know about the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance giving us our supply rights back.”“I know you did your best to help us out to convince Senior Padlow.”“On behalf of Grandma Cobb and the family, we thank you!”Gael froze; he didn’t know what happened exactl
“I know you’ve been looking for your one true love, Katy.”“But as the heiress of the family, you enjoy all the glory and riches that come with it as well as the responsibility of the family’s fate!”“I won’t blame you for the things you did in the past anymore…”“Even after you’re married, I can still guarantee your spot as the head of the head house !”Grandma Cobb showed a prideful look on her face, as if she was a generous woman.“As long as you marry Young Master Padlow, we’ll have a strong ally on our side!”“Do you actually think this man here truly loves you?”“He’s only clinging to you for the family’s authority and riches!”“I’ll just give this man a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for him to run back to Country H.”“We’ll settle everything just like this!”“You don’t have anything against my suggestion, do you?”Katy’s expression changed instantly.Eden chuckled coldly and took a haughty step forward.“Did you hear that, Katy?”“Grandma Cobb’s generous enou
Katy instinctively looked around her.The members of the family were laughing coldly, their faces wretched and sinister.“Enough looking already, Katy. Nobody’s going to believe that filth…” Eden said slowly.“Only someone as naive as you can believe that a useless kept man can do something like this,” Valery exclaimed arrogantly.The elder with a goatee sighed.“Wake up, Katy. That’s enough dreaming.”Katy was utterly heartbroken. She had done her very best for her family for the longest time; yet nobody was standing by her side, nor did they believe Harvey’s ability to do anything.She stumbled back, her face pale. Harvey quickly held Katy before she fell and whispered worriedly, “You okay?”“I’m fine.”Katy took a deep breath to steady herself. Then, she looked at Grandma Cobb with a bitter expression.“Are you really not going to believe your own granddaughter, Grandma Cobb?”Naturally, Katy still held hope for her family.“How do you still not understand this?!”Gra
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
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
