“Scamming people?”The customers were shocked.“There must be some mistake, Inspector!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been around for so many years now! At this point, everyone in the locality is an old customer!“More importantly, they don’t even take any money!”“How are they supposed to scam people?!”“Yeah! Fortune Hall’s been here since the Whip Dynasty! What do you mean that there are illegal documents?!”“Are you people cursed or something? Are your heads okay?”Everyone burst out laughing, thinking that Samson Lee and Cyrus Bierstadt were making a mountain out of a molehill.“We represent the law! Don’t you see?!“This place is a huge scam! People will die for this!“How can you not understand this?!”Samson’s face instantly darkened before he screamed at the crowd, “Go! Get out of here before I also arrest all of you for the investigation!”“You people have no say whether the place is a scam!”“Yeah! This place has been for the locals since the beginning! It’s fine as lo
After being utterly disrespected, Samson Lee was showing a horrible expression on his face. He wanted to lash out but could not find a reason to.Scared that nobody was getting an easy way out of the situation, Thomas Burton quickly walked out with a forced smile.“It’s all just a misunderstanding, Director Lee!“That said, we can’t just let everyone come here for nothing, right?“I’ll arrange a feast for everyone at noon! I’m sure we’ll all be happy about it!”“A misunderstanding?! Bullsh*t!Samson kicked Thomas aside.“If you keep yapping and try to bribe us again, I’ll charge you for obstructing the law!“I’ll make you live behind bars for the rest of your life!”After seeing the ruthless man throw out accusations without shame, Thomas’ expression changed.As soon as he was about to say something, Harvey York waved his hand to stop him.“Enough, both of you. Fortune Hall has every single piece of document that you need. I also have certificates to validate my work experie
Soon, Harvey York and the others were all taken inside the government vehicles.Even their phones were confiscated, preventing them from contacting the outside world.Voom voom voom!Harvey’s phone suddenly rang while on the road. An unknown number was showing on the screen.Cyrus Bierstadt annoyingly swung the phone around before picking up the call.An apologetic and respectful tone could be heard from the other side.“Hello! Is this Master York? I…”Cyrus let out a cold chuckle.“Enough! Harvey doesn’t even have the credentials to open up his business! We’ve already arrested that man!“You best not look for the damn con man anymore!“He’s about to be locked up!”“I’m Watson Braff. Who the Hell are you?”A cold tone could be heard from the other side.“Why does it even matter to you?!Cyrus was boiling with anger after hearing the aggressive tone.“I’ll arrest you too, if you keep yapping! I’ll track your down through your phone if I have to!“Hmph!”Cyrus then immed
“What’s with this attitude, you b*stard?!“Hmm?!Samson Lee was enraged after seeing Harvey York’s harsh attitude.“I’ll f*cking skin you alive!”Right as Samson was about to act, someone from outside quickly knocked on the door before a nervous-looking inspector entered.Cyrus Bierstadt, who seemed calm and collected, waved his hand to stop Samson before looking over.“Did Harvey’s friends spill the tea?“We know who those people are now, Director!” the subordinate exclaimed.“Good. Some people just won’t give up until they see some evidence…Cyrus showed a prideful look before glaring at Harvey, trying to pressure him. That said, it was clearly for nothing since Harvey completely ignored him.“Talk! Tell this man who those people are so he understands just how fast we work!”“Director…The subordinate hesitated.“The one cleaning the restroom is called Dynamo. He’s one of the bosses of Newgate Chamber of Commerce with dozens of gangsters under him…” he replied quietly.
After scolding his subordinate, Cyrus Bierstadt glared at the person who started everything, Samson Lee.Samson showed a horrible expression on his face.Cyrus was the one who told him that Harvey York was just a live-in son-in-law.Why would someone as ordinary as that have this many capable people working under him?This just was out of the ordinary!“Are your heads getting numb? Are your backs sweating?”Harvey calmly opened his eyes with a playful expression.The show was just about to start.Samson could not hold his anger back after hearing Harvey’s ridicule.He furiously slammed the table, screaming at Harvey, “Stop showing off, you b*stard!“Do you think you can get out of here in one piece just because you know a few rich people?!“Let me tell you something!“You got here because you’ve been scamming people! Even God won’t be able to save you!“I said so!“I suggest you admit to your crimes before things get way worse!”Samson believed that the person behind him
A group of people in government uniforms showed up outside.The first-in-command of the housing department, Watson Braff, led the group.The person beside him was none other than his brother, the first-in-command of Golden Sands Police Station, Soren Braff!The aura of the two was no less than terrifying.“Director Braff…Cyrus Bierstadt and Samson Lee’s eyes twitched before they sprung out of their chairs to bow.“What brings you two here?“You could’ve just called us! Why even show up on your own?”Watson completely ignored the two before respectfully bowing in front of Harvey York.“Master York! We meet again!“Thank you for your kindness before!“I was being ignorant before!“Please don’t mind me!“I’ll have you ask for your help this time…”Then, Watson took out his car key with horror on his face, afraid that Harvey might reject him.Harvey smiled faintly.“It’s not that I don’t want to help, Director Braff.“I’m being charged for scamming people right now, even
“We brought down Samson Lee and Cyrus Bierstadt, Master York!“Everything they did in the past, all the evidence of their corruption, is enough to put them both behind bars for the rest of their lives!Watson Braff’s high and mighty attitude was replaced by endless respect and politeness.“According to those two filth, Mandy Zimmer seems to be behind all this.”Watson showed a confused expression.Naturally, he already looked into her relationship with Harvey York.Harvey frowned. He did not expect Mandy to be this headstrong to use her connections against Fortune Hall.“Mandy’s just being considerate. She didn’t want you to hurt the neighbors or get into trouble because of your geomancy.“From this perspective, she’s only reporting the situation to the authorities.Watson had no intention of sugarcoating anything.“That was why we didn’t get Mandy to take responsibility. That said, there’ll be people to inform her that the situation’s been done.”Harvey lightly nodded.“Th
The moment Watson Braff put the cloth in his hand, it flew in the air before it turned to powder.Soren Braff was confused when he saw the sight.“What happened, Watson?”Watson looked at his brother before explaining the entire situation from the previous day.He immediately drove home after leaving the hotel…But somehow, he felt extremely tired while he was on the road.He knew that he should not fall asleep then, but his body and eyelids did not cooperate with him.On a bustling street such as the one he was on, it would be easy to think of what would happen if he really did close his eyes.Right as he was about to pass out, a hint of warmth came into his heart before he regained consciousness.But even so, his entire body was filled with cold sweat. He was this close to driving himself into the reservoir.Soren frowned after hearing his brother’s explanation.“This is nothing. Clearly, you just got tired.“It’s not that I want to complain, but you should’ve gotten your
