“Naive?”Looking at the charming woman in front of him, Harvey smiled faintly. “CEO Moreno, people have always failed to recognize the things outside of their knowledge.”“You’re talking real big right now, but aren’t you scared you’d get completely disrespected again like last time?”“Don’t you understand that the effectiveness of the medicine is the reason they sell?”“The ones the Cobb family are making right now can’t even compare to most of the medicine on the market right now.”“Do you think it’s that hard for me to crush a business like that?”“Maybe the time I’m open for business is when I lead the business to become a living legend!”“Heh, heh, heh! I admire your naivety, Harvey.”Noemi showed a mocking look on her face and crossed her arms, pushing out her delightful cleavage.“You’re quite experienced—you have a few tricks up your sleeve, but that doesn’t mean that you know the business.”“You should really order a few flower baskets at least. It’ll be embarrassi
Harvey completely ignored Noemi and the others, and casually left the place after giving instructions to the workers.This whole event was about Katy, so he decided to go to her temporary place of stay.Julian was the one who arranged the villa located in the suburbs.Not just Katy; Dean, who was still extremely weak, was resting here as well.Many security guards were in charge of the place. Thus, Harvey felt at ease here.After heading into the main hall, Harvey saw Katy happily humming a song while cutting some vegetables in the open kitchen.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the sight; he didn’t think he’d see the bloodthirsty head of the South Sea Gang emanate such a feminine aura.As the sun went down, her elegant and tender figure could be seen clearly; any man wouldn’t hesitate to wrap their arms around her.Harvey let out a sigh to stop his heart from pounding hard, and then knocked on the marble wall.“You’re here?”Katy showed a warm smile upon seeing Harvey.“I heard y
“The people outside say that I’m a patient woman, but it looks like you’re one step above me right now,” Katy said.Harvey smiled, but didn’t say anything. He couldn’t just say that he was used to his life with the Zimmer family for the past three years.“Alright, let’s not talk about Ellen for now.”Harvey revealed a satisfied expression after taking a few more bites out of the curry.“In the first place, we only met because of you .”“Everyone thinks I’m just trying to climb the ranks using her, but you of all people should know the truth.”“I thought I’d make a new friend here, but it looks like it’s the opposite.”Harvey smiled helplessly; he felt a little disappointed.Ellen felt like a totally different person after everything that happened; he didn’t expect any of this to happen.Their friendship turned to dust in a matter of days; it wouldn’t be far off to call them enemies at this point.Eden and Noemi instigated the entire thing, but at the end of the day, their v
Bam!While Katy was still stunned, the windows of the main hall blasted open.A silhouette jumped in soon after.The silhouette then pulled the trigger in Harvey and Katy’s direction.Bang, bang, bang!Six bullets ricocheted out almost at the same time, stopping the two from going anywhere.Harvey immediately pushed Katy and covered her.At the same time, he rolled on the ground and picked up a knife, and threw it straight ahead.The sound of metals clanked, and the silhouette swung the firearm forward to deflect the knife.The knife pierced right into the kitchen hood.The killer froze for a moment, hands trembling profusely.The person’s figure could finally be seen clearly.She was a small person in a school uniform and a face mask; no matter how anyone looked at her, she seemed like an ordinary student.That said, she had quite nimble movements and deadly attacks.Harvey’s calm expression was enough to freeze the killer.She picked the best moment to strike, just for
Harvey cleanly took off the killer’s mask and removed the poison sac in her mouth. He then quickly kicked her firearm away without hesitation.An innocent and pure-looking face could be seen.The killer seemed to be in her twenties; she had a good-looking face, but her gaze expressed her stubbornness.The woman glared furiously at Harvey.After realizing that she had no chance to even kill herself, she could only look at Harvey in anger.“Talk. Who are you? Who sent you?” Harvey asked with a judgmental gaze.The woman didn’t say a single word; she only looked away as if she didn’t mind what Harvey had done to her.Katy walked over, glaring at the woman with a small smile.“If I’m guessing correctly, you must be from the most well-known killer organization from the South Sea—the Royal Palace.”“You came here to kill me, not Harvey.”The woman instinctively glanced at Katy before scoffing disdainfully.“Let me guess again. If I’m correct, the Cobb family must’ve paid a high pr
Katy chuckled when Harvey saw through her completely. “Why don’t you guess why I decided to send her to the police instead of killing her?”“You sent her to the hospital with the cops for two reasons…” Harvey replied.“Number one, you want the Cobb family to know that their plan was foiled. You want them to panic.”“Number two, you want the so-called Royal Palace to go against them.”“No matter how much they were paid, it should be obvious how things would turn out if they found out that they were betrayed.”“Pretty impressive for you to come up with the plan on the spot. Two birds in one stone, as they say.”“That said, this is still a little risky. I’ll get Julian to send a few more experts to keep you safe.”Katy nodded.She turned the situation around against the Cobb family, but nobody knew what kind of tricks they were going to pull out after this.…At the same time, in the Cobb family’s courtyard.Inside the quiet meeting room, Grandma Cobb was sitting in her chair
Grandma Cobb’s hand trembled once again. She screamed, “Are you playing with me, you b*stasrd?”“You want that much deposit for some damn country bumpkin?”“Are you kidding me?!”“According to the rules, we’re not allowed to provide any sort of intel. That said, we’ll explain the current situation to you.”“This person’s true identity is quite extraordinary. He’s pretty skillful as well.”“According to our intel, he was the one who managed to get Katy in such a favorable situation against the Cobb family.”“If he doesn’t die, we can safely assume that your family will collapse without a doubt.”“Anyway, you can decide if you want to pay the money.”The person was about to hang up the phone.For them, the Cobb family was just an ordinary customer after all.“Wait!”Grandma Cobb took a deep breath, an odd look on her face.“I’ll pay!”“But I need to make sure that the formula will be in my hands after this!”“Not a problem.”The person smiled.“We’ll definitely complete t
Katy Cobb sat beside Harvey York, stretching her slender legs with a smile.“I heard it’s best not to spill blood before the opening. It’s bad luck, after all.“Maybe we should just call the cops and chase the troublemakers out of the place.”Katy was in low spirits. She was not interested in fighting after everything that had happened.“Don’t worry. I won’t let that happen for the sake of our company.Harvey sent a text while showing a faint smile.“That said, there’s no need to call the cops.“The inspectors here love the nightlife. It’d be rude if we disturbed them.“Outstanding citizens like us should deal with our own problems.”Soon after, the car arrived.Compared to the elegance of the Cobb family’s flagship store, Harvey’s store seemed a lot more gloomy.Not only were a few signs completely smashed up, but dozens of people in robes were also standing around the place.A tall man was leading the group of people. His muscles were quite eye-catching when murderous int
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
