Jinny thought about the situation for a moment before finally deciding not to go against Harvey.“Take him out of here!” he ordered coldly.He planned to take Harvey away before looking for another chance to take Maya later.He already knew what she looked like anyway, so he wasn’t scared of her running away.Harvey was pushed into the trunk of the Toyota Prado, a firearm pointed on his head all the way.The car left the scene soon after.Thomas and Maya had pained expressions.Soren covered his arm and asked a nurse to bandage him. Then, he dialed a number on his phone.“Send word! Get the SWAT team!”…Half an hour later, inside a villa in the city’s suburbs.The classic-looking villa resided beside mountains and rivers.Tall walls surrounded the entire place. Electric wires, spotlights, and patrol officers could be seen everywhere. There were also many wolfhounds on guard.Those who didn’t know would think of the place as some sort of military garrison.In actuality, t
“You didn’t think we’d meet again so soon, huh?” Anthony burst out laughing as he held his head still.“Just like I said! You can’t afford to go against me!”“Not just now…”“You’d have no right to oppose me even after ten lifetimes!”“You’ve been acting tough back in the Royal Clubhouse! Why are you being so timid now?”Raven slowly dragged herself in front of Harvey and tapped his face a few times.“You damn b*stard! Do you think you’re impressive just because you can beat a few people at once?”“Let me tell you something!”“The waters here run deep!”“In Golden Sands…”“You have no choice…”“But to kneel!”“Besides, you’re just an ignorant young man! What right do you have to show off here?”“I’ll do it myself!”“You smashed my head with a wine bottle!”“I’ll break all ten of your fingers myself!”Raven took a drag of her cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke.“Trust me! I’ll make you feel real good!”A twisted chuckle escaped her mouth after she said those word
Not only was Harvey completely void of terror, but he was even showing a pitying expression.Seeing that, Jinny approached him fiercely.“You’re a prisoner here, you b*stard! What’s the point of showing off now?”Raven chuckled coldly.“Are you saying that we took a shortcut?”“You’re the one who did just that!”The beautiful women laughed their stomachs off after hearing Raven’s words.After all, Harvey was still acting so arrogantly despite him already being a prisoner.They thought that the live-in son-in-law was simply ignorant.They started waving their phones around, waiting for the moment Harvey finally kneeled.“I’m getting a little annoyed by you right now, kid!”Jinny marched toward Harvey with a mocking expression.“Grovel for mercy, and I’ll plead to Head Marlon for your life!”“Maybe we’ll let you have seconds after we get a piece of Mandy!”Naturally, Jinny wanted to reclaim the pride he lost at the hospital before.“Move!”Harvey immediately sent Jinny fl
Everyone there trembled the moment they heard that. Panic colored their faces. Harvey looked calmly at Jinny and the others.“Looks like your time’s up.”All the beautiful women looked at Harvey in shock.They didn’t expect Harvey to be this accurate.The entire villa was now in complete chaos. Every single door was blasted open by explosives.The place was quickly surrounded—nobody had the chance to run away.Anthony, who had been acting all high and mighty moments ago, was frozen stiff.“How did the police get here?”“Who gave them the courage?”“Don’t they know whose turf this is?”“Do they want their jobs taken away from them?”Raven instinctively tried to call for help, but she quickly realized that the signal was cut off.“So what if the SWAT team’s here? Someone even said he was the director of the police station before!”“Do they think I’m easy to fool?”Jinny soon came to his senses. He was furious.“Don’t be scared, brothers! We’ll go out together!”Naturall
Raven and Anthony didn’t understand why someone like Harvey would be friends with Soren.He was from the Braff family, after all!More importantly, with Soren’s identity, why would he mobilize the SWAT team just for an ordinary man?‘Who is this guy?’Raven and Anthony’s faces darkened instantly.They realized that they were done for.The beautiful women were starting to panic as well. After seeing Harvey’s gaze, the disdain on their faces immediately turned into fear.He was clearly no ordinary man if the director of the Golden Sands Police Station would show up himself to save him.Bam!Soren swung his leg forward, breaking both of Jinny’s legs without hesitation.The sight immediately made Anthony pass out. Raven and the beautiful women’s faces lost color after seeing what happened.“Take them all back for questioning.”“Arrest or kill them as planned.”Soren looked at them with a cold glare. “The government has already given us orders to prevent organizations like th
Harvey smiled.“Just pretend I don’t exist at all.”Harvey then asked Soren to take him home.While on the road, Harvey frowned.“Right. I haven’t seen Marlon yet, though. How are we going to deal with him?”He had never met Marlon before; judging from the villa’s situation and Jinny’s way of doing things, though, it was clear that Marlon was a lawless outlaw. People like him weren’t easy to deal with at all.Mandy would be in deep trouble if Marlon was kept alive.“We’ll definitely go after him sooner or later.”Soren revealed a gloomy expression.“That said, I don’t have enough evidence to make sure he doesn’t come back out.”“He’ll only be locked for a few years.”“Since he rarely gets himself involved in all the heinous crimes he’s been working on in secret, he has connections from this city all the way to Wolsing.”“These people won’t be able to stop him from being charged, but they’ll definitely do everything in their power to keep him alive.”“That said, I’ll do my
In the middle of the night, a grim look settled on Marlon’s face.After a long while, he finally took a deep breath.“We’re going to Wolsing!”He believed he would rise to power again even if he left Golden Sands.The driver and bodyguards froze. Immediately after, the car turned into another direction.Marlon knew the police were stationed at airports and train stations just to wait for him.He wasn’t even planning on going via the highway. He decided that open roads were the safest option.Vroom!When the car arrived at the edge of Indigo Mountain, two cars crashed into each other, blocking the road out of the Golden Sands.A man and a woman were arguing about who should take responsibility for the accident.Since they didn’t move the cars away, the only way out of the city was blocked off.Marlon’s driver had no choice but to stop the car and wait.Marlon was panicking; he couldn’t wait any longer. He knew he’d be in deep trouble if the police were called here.Marlon d
After Harvey woke up early the following morning, he put on some new clothes and took some cooked porridge to the hospital.His eyes were cold when he arrived at Mandy's sick room.He saw Silas and Alma inside as well.The SWAT team must’ve let the two in after they told the team that they were friends.At the end of the corridor, Lilian and Simon sat completely anxious.“What the hell is going on here, Harvey?”“Why is Mandy in the intensive care unit with her stomach being cleaned?”“Say something!”Lilian was furious, but she wasn’t angry because of Mandy’s horrible condition.In her eyes, her money tree would be gone if anything were to happen to her daughter. How was she going to enjoy the glory and riches of the elite world in the future?Simon, who had usually been calm and collected, glared fiercely at Harvey.“Talk! Don’t think you can get away with this by keeping quiet!”“Are you mute?”Simon walked to Mandy’s bed with a worried look on his face.Harvey ignored
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
Bart coughed out a mouthful of blood after being slapped. Even a few teeth were in the blood as he looked completely out of his element. He wanted to stand up and fight against Harvey until the end, but he finally discovered that his arrogance and power meant nothing before Harvey."Harvey! You've crossed a line!" Zoe finally could not sit still and threw the cup she held onto the floor. Then, she pointed his finger at Harvey and yelled, "Do you even know what you're doing? Don't you know we have hundreds of hostages? Do you think we're still fighting in an arena in Flutwell?"So what if you can fight? So what if you're the representative? The Second Caste succeeded in a military coup! We have millions of soldiers and countless weapons! No matter how powerful you are, do you think they're more powerful than modern firearms? Regardless of your influence, do you think it's enough to suppress a country? No matter how rich you are, can you buy the entire Country I?"I'm warning you now,
