Noemi Moreno glanced at her daughter after sensing her deathly stare.“He may look all calm, Ellen…” she explained after letting out a light chuckle.“But he must be sweating bullets right now.“I bet the situation’s got him dumbfounded.“A small fry like him can only pretend at this point!”Eden Cobb nodded with a stern expression.“That’s right! These pretenders can do nothing but show off!”Ellen Moreno felt slightly relieved after hearing those words.That said, she still furiously glared at Harvey York, quietly hoping for him to roll around on the ground in sorrow.At this very moment, a middle-aged man with a red and chubby face strutted forward with a dozen people surrounding him.“Grandma Cobb! CEO Moreno! Hello!“Congratulations on your anniversary’s big hit!”The middle-aged man lightly nodded in front of Grandma Cobb as a greeting, as if his arrival was more than enough to pay respect to the Cobb family.“Vice Leader Olford is a busy man! He came all the way bac
“Oh? He isn’t here for the Cobb family?”Allen Olford squinted slightly, with a hint of rage showing in his eyes.Noemi Moreno smiled before whispering into Allen’s ear.Allen quickly understood the situation.Then, he looked at Harvey York’s side profile.Harvey’s face seemed quite familiar, but it did not ring a bell since he was still too far away.Allen showed a disdainful look on his face when he coldly chuckled.“How dare a country bumpkin from Country H challenge the Cobb family on their own turf?”Allen was getting irritated after realizing that Harvey and the others completely ignored him without showing some respect.Grandma Cobb coughed with a gloomy look before she said, “Vice Leader Olford! Our family has been quite unfortunate!“Not only did an ungrateful daughter of the family decide to cast us aside, she even had a kept man going against us!“I’m sorry you had to see this!“He even stole the Cobb family’s medicine formula and made a counterfeit out of it! Th
Harvey York did not mind at all. He calmly sipped his tea while looking at Noemi Moreno and the others.“You’ve got a lot of connections, CEO Moreno. It’s truly terrifying.“Ordinary people would’ve been kneeling before you by now, wouldn’t they?“That said, are you sure you’re going to challenge me with that idiot?”Noemi smiled calmly.“This isn’t a challenge, Harvey. This is justice.”Allen Olford realized something after hearing that name…But he did not think much about it when he saw the beauty before him.“What the f*ck did you just say, you b*stard?” said Allen with a gloomy tone after coldly chuckling.“Did you just call me an idiot?“Do you know who I am? Do you understand just how powerful I am?“I’ll turn your entire damn store into rubble with a single word!“Kneel and apologize right now!“If not, you won’t even get the chance to apologize later!”The dozen people behind Allen stepped up while cracking their necks after hearing his threats.They were showin
Grandma Cobb and the others were completely stunned!It would be hard for the Cobb family to stay unpopular after this!“The first-in-command of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is here!”“Trey Bierstadt himself is here!”“Rhett and Gael Padlow are here!”“Chase Smith is here!”“Even the representative of the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance, Gordon Moreno, is here!”Announcements were getting louder and louder when the well-known figures arrived one after another.The guests’ jaws dropped instantly. They could not even utter a single word.After all, those people represented immense authority within the entire city.Any single one of them would cause an uproar just by showing up.Besides, it was shocking for all of them to arrive together in a small place like this!Someone like Noemi Moreno and Allen Olford would never be able to compare to the likes of them!Even Allen immediately straightened his back with a respectful look on his face after hearing the names of the
“Hahaha!”Allen Olford burst out laughing after seeing everyone’s shock on their faces.Soon, he respectfully walked toward Chase Smith and the others.“You’re here, Director!”“Leader! Fancy seeing you here!”“Representative Moreno! What an esteemed guest! We’ll have to get drunk tonight!”Allen was also quite surprised.It was still normal for the first-in-command of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to show up, but Gordon Moreno and Chase were both highly prominent figures!With their identities, they would never show up at such an event.That said, Allen had no time to think about this at all. Noemi’s praise was enough for him to be in a trance.He boldly stepped forward to show off his acquaintance with those people.The first-in-command showed an odd expression after seeing Allen. Gordon coldly scoffed while Trey showed a faint smile…Chase, on the other hand, stepped out before swinging his palm forward.Slap!A loud slap was heard!Allen stumbled around, almos
“How is this even possible?“Why did this happen?”Ellen Moreno’s entire body was shaking.She was still looking up to Allen Olford just a minute ago, hoping that Eden Cobb would become a man like that…But a minute later, Allen was lying on the ground while getting thrown around like a punching bag.Ellen could not accept that fact.Even Eden shivered when his face had completely lost color. He could feel something in his heart collapsing at this very moment.“Alright, Leader Smith. It’s bad to spill blood on the opening day.”Right as Allen’s face was as swollen as a pig, a calm voice could be heard when he would not even dare to speak himself.It did not matter if Allen died or not…But a person’s death would surely affect Harvey’s business.Ellen and the others instinctively turned around before showing playful smiles when they saw that Harvey was the one who spoke up.“Who do you think you are? You’re nothing in front of Leader Smith, you…”Eden went dead silent befor
Allen Olford quickly came to his senses and crawled toward Harvey York before he started groveling right in front of him.“I’m sorry, Governor York! I was just ignorant! I didn’t know anything!“Please be the bigger person and let me go! Just pretend that I was clowning around!Then, Allen kept slapping himself around nonstop.“Please! Give me a chance!”All of his trusted subordinates slammed their knees to the ground in fear after seeing the sight.They all also have heard of Harvey’s great achievements.Soon, a whole group of people was kneeling with their backs straight in front of Harvey’s store.Noemi Moreno and the others were completely stunned when their eyes were frantically twitching.They could not understand why Allen was just about to teach Harvey a lesson a minute ago…And then he was acting like a scared cat right after that.‘Are you kidding me?!’‘Isn’t Harvey just a country bumpkin?!’‘Does he have another identity?!’‘How did he manage to get Allen to
Grandma Cobb looked as if she had been dead for three whole days.Then, Gordon Moreno stepped up while laughing heartily.“Congratulations on your opening, Harvey York!“Here’s a gift on behalf of the South Sea Marital Arts Alliance! I hope you like it!”Gordon then waved his hand before a few disciples of the organization brought over a plaque.The plaque had four words written on it.“Cobb family’s Silver Elixir!”Other than that, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance’s signature was also left under the plaque.Without any promises or orders…It was clear that the organization was planning to buy all of its ointments from Harvey!More importantly, with the plaque here, nobody would dare go against Harvey, even if the business were to expand in the city.At this point, the South Sea Martial Arts Alliance was clearly on his side!The benefits were endless!“What?!”Noemi Moreno and the others understood that fact.When they saw the sight, they could not help but stumble on
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
