Rhett Padlow showed a cold look before he opened his eyes.“I wanted to deal with this as an ordinary father, kid!“I can’t be bothered to fight someone like you anyway…“But since you’re still this unapologetic…“Then don’t blame me for what happens next! You’ll know the consequences of going against the Padlow family soon enough!”Rhett slowly took off his jacket and handed it to a woman beside him before cracking his neck. He did seem like quite the experienced fighter at this moment.Screams and cheers of excitement could be heard all over the place. Nobody here had seen Rhett throw any punches before. They were all exhilarated when they finally got the chance to witness his greatness.After waving at everyone, gesturing for them to calm down, Rhett lunged forward before appearing right in front of Harvey York and throwing a kick.The power and speed of the kick were overwhelming. It was clear just how strong Rhett actually was.Boom!Rhett did not hold back at all. He us
Harvey York’s movements were swift, making Gael Padlow and the others change their expressions while instinctively taking a few steps back.Gael was utterly shocked. He could feel a terrifying aura from Harvey’s slap.“Hyah!”Rhett had no time even to dodge the attack.He could only scream and cross his arms in front of him to brace himself.That said, it was all useless in front of Harvey.As soon as Rhett put his guard up, Harvey’s slap immediately landed on his face at lightning speed.Slap!Rhett felt a sharp pain on his face before he blacked out.He slammed right into the people behind him like a dead dog.A dozen people were knocked to the ground. It was a horrible sight.Gael was knocked off as well. His arms covered in plasters were hurting badly. If nobody were there to lift him, he would not be able to get up on his own.Rhett slammed right into the marble wall, instantly forming cracks similar to a spider web.His body then slowly slid down as he showed a horri
“Oh? Are you calling people?“You’re getting backup now?Harvey York calmly smiled.“Then, I’ll give you ten minutes.“I’ll kneel if the person you calls manages to scare me.“If not, you and your baby boy will have to kneel instead!”Gael Padlow and Rhett Padlow’s faces instantly turned dark before they looked at each other with wretched smiles.Obviously, they both knew who was coming.Vroom!In just ten minutes, the door was kicked open once again.A group of people in robes walked inside with cold expressions.A middle-aged man was standing in front.His face was as sharp as a blade, with a scar showing from the corner of his left eye to the right side of his chin.Not only did the scar not hurt his facial features, but his fierce attitude was also emphasizing it. It was apparent that he was an extremely prominent figure.Harvey squinted at the person while Julian York frowned behind him.“Sir York, this is the leader of the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, Chas
“I’m not scared of whoever’s behind you either. I’ll dig out every single person who’s on your side!“I’ll make them all pay!”Chase Smith was being extremely dominant. He was prepared to crush anybody in his way.Harvey York took a sip of his wine before showing a faint smile.“As expected from Leader Smith. What a majestic and dominant man!“If I heard you correctly, you’re planning to take advantage of everyone here, right?”“Damn straight I am!” exclaimed Chase with a cold look.“You’re not happy about it?“Then, come at me!“I’ll let you have a taste of your own blood!Chase then pointed at Harvey.“Stand up and show me your face!”The beautiful women felt weak when they saw the sight.‘He’s too strong!’‘Leader Smith’s so dominant! That’s what a real man looks like!’Harvey crossed his arms and legs while raising his head with a disdainful look.The crowd scoffed when they saw the sight.‘What the Hell?!’‘Is he still trying to show off?!’‘He has a death wish
“This kid’s just a kept man, Leader Smith! Why are you hitting your face in front of him?” asked Rhett Padlow instinctively.Slap!Before Rhett even finished talking, Chase Smith instantly swung the back of his palm across Rhett’s face.Rhett crashed into the marble wall once again. He could not crawl back up for the longest time.“Why did you hit me, Leader Smith?!”The others were surprised when they saw the sight. They did not understand why he hit himself and Rhett when he was supposed to be there to help the Padlow family.Gael Padlow was shocked.“Did you have too much to drink, Leader Smtih? You’re supposed to go against this b*stard here, not my father…”Slap!Chase also sent Gael flying to his father. The two lay flat on the wall without moving a single muscle.Harvey York squinted with a profound look on his face.“Looks like your reputation isn’t good enough in the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, Leader Smith.“Not only did your subordinates follow suit whe
Chase Smith showed a respectful look while completely ignoring everyone else.“I didn’t teach them well enough, Sir York! It was my fault!”Harvey York swirled his wine glass around and took a sip.“Do you think I’ll just let you go because you said that?”Harvey was completely looking down on Chase at this moment.“What are you doing, Leader Smith?!”“How can you just lower your head in front of a man from Country H like that?!”“He’s just a country bumpkin!”“Why are you so scared of him?!”“He’s just Katy Cobb’s kept man!”“We were scared of her only because she was still with the Cobb family previously!”“Why should we be scared of a savage like him now that Katy broke off with the family?!”“As for Dean Cobb, he still hasn’t shown himself after the kid treated him!”“This is all just a trick!”“We don’t have to be afraid!”Gael Padlow thought Chase was afraid of Katy and Dean. He believed that this was the only reason why he was this terrified.He thought he should
Bam!After beating up Gael Padlow and his father, Chase Smith kicked the two toward Harvey York.“They’ve constantly been going against you because of my lack of discipline, Governor York.“Please punish them as you please.”Chase showed a respectful look. He would not dare show a hint of arrogance then.At this point, Gael’s face was as swollen as a pig’s. He wanted to say something but could only stare at Harvey with a fearful expression.Rhett Padlow, on the other hand, lowered his head with a vengeful gaze.He did not want to believe that the person they were trying to crush was actually way out of their league.Harvey showed an emotionless expression when he saw through Chase’s trick to gain his trust.He patted Chase’s face before calmly saying, “You should handle your own men instead, Leader Smith.“It’s already eleven o’clock at night. There are still seven hours before daylight.“Since you’re this understanding, I’ll give you some time.“Julian York will arrive at
Harvey York returned to rest after he was done with his business.On the next day, early in the morning, Katy Cobb came over to his villa to have a chat over breakfast. A security guard jogged over to report Harvey about something.“Sir York, there’s a man at the front door. His hands are covered in plasters.“He said his name is Gael Padlow. He’s here to ask you and Ms. Cobb for forgiveness.”Harvey cracked a calm smile.“Ask for forgiveness? Interesting…”Katy froze. She did not know what happened last night for Gael to come all the way here just to apologize.But since she was a smart woman, she only smiled without saying another word.“Come on. Let’s have a look outside.”Harvey took a sip of his drink while he walked to the front door.A man was seen kneeling in the courtyard.He was kneeling with his back up straight. He did not even dare move a single inch.Compared to last night, his dominance from the Lost City Bar was nowhere to be seen.He seemed extremely miser
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
