Harvey ignored the inspector and glanced calmly at Grandma Cobb.“Just you wait, Grandma Cobb.”“This had nothing to do with me in the first place, but…”“You forced my friend into marriage, tried to poison Elder Cobb, then got me to stay behind bars.”“I’ll remember all this.”Harvey’s face was grim. “When I get out of the police station, I’ll pay you back a hundredfold.”“I’ll make sure your family dies, and I’ll make you break Eden’s legs as an apology!”Harvey had no interest in dealing with filth like Eden on his own.It would be best for Harvey to take his time taking revenge against a family like the Cobbs.“You want Grandma Cobb to break my legs?! What the hell are you even saying right now?”Eden scoffed, haughty.“You should think of a way to get out of jail instead!”“You’ll finally understand the consequences of going against the Cobb family after that!”Grandma Cobb sat calmly on her chair, and slammed her cane at the ground.“You’ll be kneeling in front o
Harvey couldn’t help but scoff after seeing the serious look on the bald inspector’s face.He finally understood that this place was completely lawless; he knew fairness and justice didn’t apply here, either.That said, he wouldn’t feel any regret if he used some of his connections later.“Are you toying with me?!”The bald inspector felt humiliated after seeing Harvey’s mocking look.He slammed the table, furious.“I’m warning you, b*stard! This place is all about being fair and just!”“I’ll sue you for slander if you keep running your mouth!”Harvey smiled.“Fine. I’ve been waiting for those exact words anyway.”“If I told you that I only fought back after the Cobb family took action first, would you believe me?”The inspectors looked at each other, then scoffed.“The Cobb family’s one of the South Sea’s great families. The family’s filled with outstanding people!”“Why would they throw hands against an outsider like you?”“They did this to force Katy Cobb to marry Gael
Ellen almost got taken advantage of by Jace after he forced her to get drunk, but Harvey saved her. Since then, the two had never met.Even though Ellen was in a drunken state back then, she knew for sure that Harvey was her savior.Ellen’s gaze toward Harvey was completely different than before; she no longer looked down on him anymore.The woman beside her was clad in business attire and a pair of golden-framed glasses; she looked to be in her forties, but her slender body and exquisite face were still quite apparent.That said, she appeared aloof and distant; ordinary men wouldn’t even be able to raise their heads when facing her. “Hello.”Ellen nodded at the two inspectors before walking toward Harvey with a confused expression.“Why are you here, Harvey?”“This is Harvey, Mother. He’s the one who beat up everyone just to save me.”Ellen hadn’t contacted Katy after being discharged, so she didn’t know anything that happened in the Cobb family.The round-faced inspector c
‘Boyfriend?’‘Fiance?’Harvey almost choked on his coffee after hearing those words.The two high and mighty inspectors looked at Harvey, utterly shocked.They kept sizing him up, but they couldn’t see anything special in him.They didn’t think Harvey had the right to cling onto both the Cobb family and the Moreno family, either.Noemi froze. A second later, a gloomy look settled on her face.“I don’t care if he’s your man or your friend. You can’t just protect someone who’s being charged with a crime!”Naturally, Noemi’s position within the family was quite awkward; she seemed high and mighty on the outside, but she was quite methodical with everything she did. She wouldn't let other people from the family find anything to criticize her.Ellen flashed her mother a resentful look. Then, she looked at Harvey.“Harvey! Tell them that you’re being wronged! A good man like you wouldn’t just beat people up whenever you want.”“Even if you did do that, I’m sure you have a reason f
Harvey looked calmly at the round-faced inspector.“If the two ladies weren’t here, could you have guaranteed nobody was going to destroy the evidence on the spot?”The round-faced inspector froze. Right after that, she instinctively looked at the bald inspector.The bald inspector glared furiously at Harvey, and hung his head low.After Harvey showed solid proof of his innocence, and along with the Moreno family’s support, the police could no longer detain him. Half an hour later, Harvey left without a single scratch.Harvey could’ve easily left the place without the mother and daughter’s help, but he still showed the two a sincere look to thank them.“Mrs. Cobb, Ellen, thank you.”“I’ll remember your favor. I’ll treat you to a meal when I have the time!”Ellen flashed him a warm smile.“I’ll be your shield in Blackburn City from now on, Harvey!”“My mother’s the second lady of the Moreno family, one of the South Sea’s great families. With her around, there’s nothing that
Harvey could tell what Noemi was thinking, but he didn’t mind it at all.It was natural for a mother to protect her child, after all.He took the name card and kept it in his pocket.At this moment, Noemi suddenly coughed.Harvey instinctively looked at her chest.Noemi got furious when she saw where Harvey was looking.‘How dare a child like him act this way?! Who does he think I am?’If Harvey didn’t save her daughter, she would’ve slapped him in the face for his rudeness.“Since you’re being so kind to me, Mrs. Moreno, there’s something I should say.”Harvey hesitated for a moment before he continued speaking.“I don’t know what kind of martial arts you’re training, but there’s a huge flaw in your practice.”“It’s best if you stop training or let go of everything you trained for. You won’t survive long if you don’t.”“Harvey!”Ellen froze; she was then reminded of his miraculous feat of saving Dean.“Are you serious about this?”“Harvey’s really impressive, Mother! Yo
“I’m grateful you care about my health. I’ll do a check up as soon as I get the time.”“But we’ll have to end things here. Ellen and I need to go!”Noemi had a profound look on her face.“I wish you all the best.”Harvey could tell Noemi didn’t believe him after seeing the distrustful look on her face.“Why don’t you give me some time? I’ll take a look for you…”“Enough, Harvey! I’m trying to save your face for Ellen’s sake!”“Stop trying to cross the line!”Noemi stepped forward and spoke to Harvey in a voice only he could hear.Harvey sighed, then he left without saying another word.Noemi scoffed coldly before taking her daughter inside the Toyota Alphard.Ellen hesitated; she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t go against her own mother.“That man did save you, true. He also beat up Eden and the Cobbs…”“But you can’t be sure if he’s working together with them to fool you!”“Eden was your ex, and he almost took advantage of you; what more a man you just met!”“
Meanwhile, Harvey didn’t know that Noemi actually went for a check-up.After leaving the police station, he gave Katy a call.He then called a cab and headed to the Cobb family’s villa.Katy was confident he was able to get out; she quickly got the chef to prepare a big meal to celebrate his return.“What are you planning to do next?”Katy poured Harvey a glass of red wine, smiling. She was deeply interested in his promise of building a family for her.This was the best course of action for her, anyway.On one hand, she wouldn’t need to be forced around by Grandma Cobb and the rest of the Cobbs.On the other hand, there would be a chance for the family’s to be restored.“It’s simple, really. Since the Cobb family wants to cling to the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance so badly, we’ll just have to break them off.”“I’ll turn the organization against them. Soon enough, they’ll serve us.”“As long as the organization’s on our side, the Cobb family’s business will be under
