“I’m fine, Ellen. I almost died, and my face and neck are hurting like Hell!”Eden was actual scum; he could clearly tell that Ellen was getting soft.He didn’t keep going against Harvey; instead, he used the opportunity to hold onto Ellen’s soft hand with a miserable look.“Did you know? All this pain is still nothing compared to the pain of losing you!”“If you forgive me, I’d be willing to get beaten to death or crippled, let alone endure this kind of pain!”“You’re extremely important to me!”Eden’s acting was immaculate.“Please give me another chance, Ellen!” he exclaimed.“My brother challenged that man for you even though he knew that he was a savage, Ellen!” Valery added quickly.“He still gave his all to fight, even if he knew that he was going to lose! Can’t you see how brave he is?”“Look at him!”“My brother’s been pampered his entire life!”“And yet, he was willing to give up his life just for you! Are you still not going to forgive him after this?”“A man is
Harvey looked at Ellen’s miserable expression, and nodded.None of this mattered to him, anyway.Ellen let out a sigh of relief after receiving Harvey’s answer.“I’m happy I got to know you, Harvey,” she said seriously.“I’m thankful you’ve been by my side as well.”“That said, I still want to be together with Eden.”She then walked toward Eden before putting on the Pigeon Egg Ring, a faint smile on her face.“If you do anything out of hand from now on, Eden, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”She then leaned into Eden’s arms with a fulfilled expression.“I got it!” Eden cried.“I’ll do everything my princess says!”Eden completely ignored the pain on his face before sweeping Ellen off the ground and kissing her cheeks.He then glared at Harvey, as if he had already won.‘Why’s a kept man like him trying to go against the young master of the Cobb family?’‘What a joke!’‘Doesn’t he know his limits?’Eden was planning to slap Harvey around to vent his anger afte
“Leave! We don’t welcome you here!”Eden had a prideful look when he saw Harvey’s “miserable” expression.“For Ellen’s sake, I’ll let you off the hook for now!”“That said, don’t blame me for what happens tomorrow!”Harvey glanced at Ellen without saying a word; he wasn’t going to go after Eden for her sake, but…If Eden was going to cause more trouble, Harvey wouldn’t mind dealing with Eden.“Harvey, wait!”When Harvey was about to leave, Ellen remembered something important.She waved her hand to gather the crowd. There was a brief hesitation on her face, but it was soon replaced with determination.“Eden’s my boyfriend. You’re a good friend of mine, Harvey, and so is Katy!”“I know you and Katy don’t think too well of the Cobb family. I know you’re planning to open up your business to go against them when they’re celebrating their anniversary.”“I know that you gave Katy the original formula for the Cobb family’s Silver Elixir, too…”“But for my sake, can you settle this
Harvey calmly rejected Eden’s offer.After hearing the obedient man daring to fight back…Ellen’s exquisite face darkened, and she frowned.She gritted her teeth and shouted at Harvey.“Since you’re being so heartless, Harvey! Fine… Since you won’t pay me any respect, then don’t blame me for what happens next!”“You won’t be getting the office building or my company’s help anymore!”“Tell your people to take everything away tomorrow—no, right now!”“I’ll smash up the entire place too! You won’t get anything from me!”“After all, I have to help my boyfriend and my future family. I can’t side with an enemy!”‘Take everything away?’‘Smash up the entire place?’Harvey stopped in his tracks, and shot Ellen a mystified look. After everything he had done for her, he thought she wouldn’t come to this…And yet, immediately after getting back together with Eden, she said all that without hesitation.Harvey smiled faintly at her. “Are you sure you want me to do that?”“Are you su
Harvey let out a sigh.In his eyes, Ellen was a reasonable person.Thus, he didn’t think that she could turn out like this for Eden’s sake.She was trying to take advantage of Harvey, yet she acted as if she was scolding him on her moral high ground.Harvey didn’t even know what to say.“I understand what you’re saying. I know the value of the formula!”Ellen’s pride rose up to greater heights after she was disrespected by Harvey; she had an extremely horrible look on her face.“That said, you should know that the formula in your hands still belongs to the Cobb family!”“Don’t you understand how shameless you are for stealing that formula and demanding money for it?!”“That’s right!” Eden exclaimed coldly.“Our formula was stolen forty years ago! I suspect that you were the thief from back then!”“If you don’t give us the formula, I’ll make you live the rest of your life behind bars!”“You hear that, Harvey? He’ll call the cops at any moment!” Ellen said earnestly.“You’re
“I’m giving you two hours! Clean everything up till then!”“Even if I smash up the entire store, I won’t let you use it!” Ellen exclaimed through gritted teeth.Eden burst out laughing.“You can’t be so wasteful, Ellen!”“Just give that to the family. We were planning to open up a massive flagship store, anyway.”“When that happens, you should come host the anniversary. We’ll show the entire city who the happiest couple here is!”Eden glared pridefully at Harvey.‘How dare a country bumpkin from Country H even go against me?!’ he thought angrily. ‘Does he have a death wish?!’Ellen glared at Harvey. She wanted to see how he’d react—she wanted to see if he was going to get angry or resentful about it.“Fine,” Harvey said calmly.He turned around and left right after.He didn’t even try to stall anybody. The way he acted made it seem as if Ellen and Eden were talking to a brick wall—it was a completely useless conversation.Ellen froze.She thought Harvey would show his true
Ellen nodded after hearing Eden’s words.If Harvey really had that formula, he would’ve been filthy rich by now! Why open up a shop with Katy in the first place?More importantly, Katy had been absent the entire time.Maybe Harvey was bluffing about opening up the store as well. Maybe he was just trying to grab Ellen’s attention so he could use her to make a comeback.After losing the chance, Harvey had no option but to leave with a broken heart. Ellen would probably not see his face ever again.Without hesitating, Ellen caressed Eden’s face with a tender look.“I’m sorry, Eden. You got hurt so badly because of me…”“This is nothing.”“For you, this pain means nothing. This is the symbol of my love for you!”“After this, we’ll love each other even more!”Eden flashed her a sad smile.“I won’t cause any more trouble to Harvey for your sake. The Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, on the other hand…”“No matter what, I’m still a part of the organization. Harvey even beat me
“It’s fine if we leave, Sir York, but we really can’t bring all this with us. The workers can’t stand the weather, either. If we don’t find a storage place for everything, it’ll all be useless!”The disciples of Longmen’s Hong Kong and Las Vegas branches who came all the way here were heartbroken as they looked at the materials and the medicine.For the past few days, they put all their heart and soul into this.Harvey thought about the situation for a while.“Harper, take the workers to see if there are any other places for us to rent.”“It doesn’t matter how expensive they are. It’ll be better if we can buy it.”Ellen said that everyone had to leave the store on the same day, but it shouldn’t be a problem even if they didn’t make it past midnight.Harper quickly ran out with a few workers in tow.Harvey crossed his legs and sat in front of the store, looking calm all the way.Half an hour passed soon after.Harper came back with a horrible look, panting profusely.“Sir Yor
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
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
