The frightened customers in the restaurant quickly moved away.The staff went stiff, not even daring to take a single breath.Naturally, they all recognized the man.The man leading the group was none other than Raylan Lee, chairman of Blazer Estate.As soon as he showed up, Kellan, who was having his tea on the first floor, quickly sent a text through his phone.Bam!There was a loud bang, and Raylan’s men immediately swarmed the second floor.They looked fierce and vicious.Raylan crossed his arms, his eyes behind his golden-rimmed glasses icy.When he walked toward the room, it was with the air of one who controlled everyone’s lives.Raylan was convinced he stood over everyone. When Ronnie saw Raylan, excitement colored his face. He was lying on the ground helplessly, his hands completely broken.“Father…”Life was like a competition of family backgrounds.It was already good enough that Ronnie wasn’t wailing for his father’s help.Seeing his own son in that sorry st
“Do you know what you’re doing here?”“Do you have an idea of the consequences you’ll bear for this?”“You’ll be in a lot of trouble if you keep going!”Raylan couldn’t be bothered to ask about Harvey and Ronnie’s personal conflicts.He knew just how much of a scumbag his own son was.If he got his men to pull out their guns while Harvey was stepping on Ronnie, Ronnie would be hurt in the crossfire.If that wasn’t the case, Harvey would’ve been dead already.“Is that so?”“Trouble, you say?”Harvey smiled faintly. “What kind of trouble would I get myself into, I wonder?”“Rather than that, don’t you want to know the kind of trouble your own son got himself into?”Raylan’s gaze grew sharper when Harvey provoked him.He sized up Harvey for a long time, then he spoke up again.“You hurt my son in front of everyone, breaking the law. You’re a bad influence!”“You’ll be locked behind bars for this!”“You’ll get executed!”Naturally, he wasn’t able to use force since his so
Captain Santiago glanced at Harvey—now, there was fear in his eyes. The director’s office called and said only one thing—Harvey was good friends with Soren.‘The first-in-command’s friend?’Captain Santiago wouldn’t dare go against someone like that, even if he did have all the courage in the world.Raylan’s face twisted into a horrible expression after hearing Captain Santiago’s words.“What did you say?”“You can’t do this?”“You’re the enforcer of the law! What do you mean, you can’t do this?”“If you don’t take down a criminal like him, us good citizens won’t even bother contributing to the city anymore!”However, Captain Santiago shook his head apologetically before leaving with his subordinates as quickly as he could.That left Raylan seething with rage. Right as Raylan was about to speak, Harvey immediately cut him off.“Who told you to leave?” Harvey said to Captain Santiago.Captain Santiago’s eyes twitched frantically. Then, he glared at Harvey.“What do you w
Men in suits stepped forward, armed with guns and steel pipes, about to attack.But right at that moment, Raylan’s phone suddenly rang.He didn’t want to pick up at first, but he had no choice after seeing the name on the screen.His eyes twitched frantically, and a horrible look settled on his face.When he finished the call, he took a deep breath and glared resentfully at Harvey.“It’s a misunderstanding.”“Just a mistake!”Harley, Henley, and the others’ hearts skipped a beat; they had a bad feeling about the situation.Captain Santiago made the same face just before.Ronnie was filled with disbelief.“Father, what…?”Several men in suits gritted their teeth.“Just say the word, and we’ll take him out!” they said to Raylan. “We’ll just have to run after that!”Naturally, they knew Harvey was no ordinary man.If not, Raylan wouldn’t even make that expression in the first place.That said, the men would sacrifice themselves for the sake of their boss.Raylan clenched
‘That b*stard!’‘He’s just too arrogant!’Raylan’s bodyguards couldn’t hold in their anger any longer. One immediately pointed his gun at Harvey, screaming, “I’ll f*cking kill you!”“We’ll just go down with you!” another shouted.Before they could pull the trigger, Harvey slammed his hand on the table; the utensils there bounced, then flew towards them, slashing their wrists.“Aaagh!”Screams of pain were heard, and the bodyguards dropped their guns to the ground.Blood was flying everywhere, making Harley, Henley, and the others shiver in fear.Harvey’s ruthlessness and decisiveness were beyond their expectations.The remaining bodyguards looked at each other; they were all gritting their teeth, but they no longer dared to attempt anything reckless.They could tell that they were clearly delusional if they could actually take on someone like Harvey with their lacking skills.“What, you’re still not leaving?” Harvey asked calmly.“I gave you a chance, but that doesn’t mean
Raylan smiled sinisterly after hearing his son’s words.He was convinced that Ronnie was right.His status and identity had already made everything clear.No matter how impressive Harvey was, he still had no right to challenge Ronnie. He was just using someone else’s authority to threaten others!If Raylan were to gather more strength to go against Soren and Watson, nobody would be able to protect Harvey!‘Losers will always stay losers!’‘He’ll never get a chance to make a comeback!’Harley and Henley looked at each other, and grinned.They finally came to their senses; no matter how dominant Harvey was, he was still all bark and no bite!At the end of the day, he was just a timid live-in son-in-law!They felt they were deceiving themselves, but this was the only way to make themselves feel a little better.That said, Harvey stopped in his tracks once he heard Ronnie’s smug claims. “That lesson’s not enough for you?” he said, glancing at Ronnie.“You want to lay your fin
“He’s not worthy.”“That said, you should take this.”“I hope you’ll all be good people in your next lives.”Harvey pulled out some money and threw it at Raylan’s face.Raylan clenched the bills, filled with rage.He was about to yell angrily at Harvey as the latter went downstairs. However, a man rushed inside with two guns and pulled the trigger.Ronnie and Harley fell to the ground, paralyzed, unable to react.The moment Raylan turned around, a bullet pierced right through his forehead.Disbelief colored his face. Immediately after, he fell to the ground on his back, still clutching the bills.The entire restaurant fell into utter chaos.…Six o’clock at night. Harvey rubbed his neck before walking out of the Golden Sands Police Station.He was just a witness of the entire incident; he only came to testify to the situation.He had quite a conflict with Ronnie and his father…However, Westin was the true murderer.Deepsky Corporation had a deep grudge against Blazer Es
Kairi smiled back, her face slightly flushed. “What do you think?”Harvey was rendered speechless upon seeing the beautiful smile on her face and her fitting dress that revealed her slender legs. The smile on her was just devilish; any ordinary man would immediately be hooked and lose focus.“Actually, a lot of people wanted to welcome you back.”“That said, the presence of the Newgate Chamber of Commerce, the Archa Corporation, the Golden Sands Bank, and the Braff brothers would be too distracting.”“Not only will the media be shocked if they come, but gossip will also spread.”“After I got word, I decided to do the honors of picking you up instead.”Harvey smiled.“Tell everyone I said thanks.”Harvey only needed to make a phone call to deal with what happened before.However, he didn’t want to expose too much of himself unless it was necessary.He was let out of the police station without needing to lift a finger. Westin shouldered all the blame for him as well.Clear
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
