Finley paused in his tracks when he heard Harvey’s words.‘I’ll die if she eats it?’Noemi and the others were frightened; they instinctively looked at the egg in front of them with a wary gaze.‘Mr. Finley’s dish can kill?’‘How is that possible?’After the initial shock, the people quickly came to their senses; they thought Harvey was just trying to scare them to get more attention.“What are you even saying?!”“Do you know who Mr. Finley is? He’s the royal chef of the Empire! The head chefs of the royal family are all his students!”“And yet, you’re saying that his dishes are going to kill?!”“Not only are you slandering Mr. Finley’s abilities, you’re also slandering the entire royal family of the Empire!”“Do you think you’re some big character when you’re just a country bumpkin?!”“You talk like you know everything! Have you ever seen a truffle? Do you even know what caviar is?”“Kneel and apologize! If not, you’ll have to crawl your way out of here!”A few people sta
“Slander?”Harvey looked calmly at Finley, unperturbed by the scorn he was facing.“These are Truffled Eggs of the royal family, yes?”Finley frowned.“That’s right.”Harvey took a step forward.“The ingredients I pointed out are all correct too, right?”Finley’s eyes twitched.“That’s right. Only I know this dish. Nobody else would know what’s in it, other than the people who ate it!”Noemi and the others froze; they looked at Harvey with odd expressions.‘Did this country bumpkin actually have this dish before?’‘He’s just a country bumpkin, though! Maybe he’s attended the Empire’s banquets before…’Ellen’s eyes lit up; she was certain Harvey probably had another identity.“You’re pretty impressive, young man.”Finley called himself down after pondering for a moment.“That said, you still have to apologize.”“Is that so?” Harvey replied casually.“I admit, you’re pretty capable if you can recognize this dish that well.”Finley crossed his arms with a distant look on
Ellen couldn’t hold back her feelings any longer.“You should really apologize, Harvey. Don’t anger Mr. Finley!” she exclaimed after a moment’s hesitation. “You won’t get another chance later!”Noemi couldn’t help but shoot a deathly glare at Ellen; she thought her daughter was completely blind for helping Harvey.Finley was a bit angry as well; he believed he had already given the young man in front of him another chance, and yet…Harvey clearly didn’t know how to cherish it.Once again, Harvey smiled.“Mr. Finley, your Truffled Eggs should be ingested in three minutes as soon as the lids are opened, right?”“That’s right. The taste is the most mysterious at that timing,” Finley replied coldly.“You say that, but it’s actually not as mysterious as it seems.”“The egg would explode in the mouth, and everything inside would then turn powder-like without any chewing. This is the refreshing and unique taste you were talking about, right?”Finley froze; he couldn’t believe what
Ellen was surprised as well; she didn’t think that Harvey was actually this capable.“You have a pretty good attitude. At least you can admit to your own faults.”Harvey smiled while he wrote something on paper before throwing it to Finley.“When I ate this dish before, I knew that there was something that should’ve been added.”“Not only will the taste be better, but this accident also won't happen either.”Harvey turned around and left after that.Finley lowered his head before seeing “quail eggs” written on paper; he froze before coming to his senses seconds after.The size of the egg was smaller, but the blast of the ingredients would only remain in the mouth; the airways wouldn’t be affected at all.This was a simple change, but it was enough to deal with the problem once and for all.Finley couldn’t help but raise his thumb.“You’re amazing! Truly amazing!”Noemi froze after hearing Finley’s words; she didn’t think Harvey was actually this impressive.Ellen was stunne
Half an hour later, Harvey and Ellen arrived at the Blackburn City Budokan.The place was under the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance. Other than training their disciples here, they would also enroll some rich playboys in order to earn a few thousand more dollars every month.A lot of Martial Arts Alliances would do such things; the things they would teach were all basics that the entire world would know.Ellen happily told Harvey that she signed up for a crash course for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars.Harvey heard mostly everything from Ellen; those who enrolled would need to take two to three classes every week for the fundamentals of martial arts.After that, a so-called certificate of completion would be given as proof of their training here.Harvey was speechless; if he was willing to do something like that, the Martial Hall would be on the market in less than a year.While Harvey was busy pitying the rich who had been tricked, Ellen dragged him into the training
Harvey watched calmly; he had no interest in getting involved with the two’s relationship.Eden looked at Ellen with tender affection, but Ellen instinctively moved away from his outstretched hand.She walked toward Harvey before exclaiming coldly, “Stay away from me! We’re not that close!”“Besides, do you think I’m stupid enough to believe a double-crossing scum like you?!”“I already have a boyfriend!”Ellen quickly used Harvey as a scapegoat and blinked at him to signal her intentions.“I won’t leave Harvey for you!”“I’m a loyal woman. I’m completely different from you!”Harvey wanted to explain the situation, but he could only sigh when he saw Ellen’s miserable look.“It’s been a while, Young Master Cobb.”“You?! You’re Ellen’s boyfriend?”Eden’s face darkened at that instant.“Aren’t you Katy’s little kept man?”“Now, you’re going after the Moreno family too?”“How shameless can you get?!”The place fell into an uproar; the crowd stared at Harvey with a disdainful
“I already regret everything I did, Ellen!”“I would never do something that stupid ever again!”“I made a mistake every man would make after getting too drunk!”“So, you need to forgive me!”Eden knelt on one leg before revealing a diamond ring in his hand.“Come back, Ellen. Come back to me!”“Look! I even have the engagement ring ready!”“I only want you in my arms! I’ll make you the happiest woman alive if you become the family’s lady!”“What’s the point of regretting everything now, you b*stard?!”Ellen shot him a fierce look and threw the engagement ring to the ground.“Think about what you’ve done!”“If you meet another good woman, then you better treat her properly!”“It’s no use saying anything now!”Harvey glanced at Ellen; she seemed really adamant on not forgiving Eden.However, he could tell by her tone and attitude that she was starting to change her mind.That said, this was Eden and Ellen’s personal problem; Harvey didn’t like Eden at all, but he wasn’t g
After making such a huge fuss about everything, Harvey finally turned around and looked at Eden.He let out a sigh. “You don’t have the right to duel me.”“Forget about it.”“Think this through.”The bustling training hall was instantly dead silent.Everyone was completely shocked as they looked at Harvey, thinking that he was the world’s biggest idiot.Eden was from one of the South Sea’s great families; he had been trained by the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance since he was a child. Out of the younger generation, he was quite the capable fighter.Even ordinary disciples from the organization were no match for him.‘How dare this country bumpkin even talk to Eden like that?!’‘Who gave him the courage?’Eden froze as well; he had seen a lot of show-offs in his life, but it was rare for him to see someone acting as pompous as Harvey.People who didn’t know would think that Harvey was actually capable of something.Valery couldn’t help but chuckle disdainfully.“You re
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
