Harvey chuckled.“You’d rather trust an outsider than me?”“Trust you? How am I supposed to do that?” Mandy sneered.She shot Harvey a glare of daggers.“The picture’s right in front of me!”“My secretary even told me the truth!”“How do you want me to trust you?”“Harvey York…”“I trusted you too much!”Before Harvey could say anything, a series of knocks on the door took his attention.Several grim-looking inspectors entered.Everyone instinctively turned to look.The inspector in the lead had two badges pinned on his shoulder.“Hello,” he said. “We’re from the Golden Sands Police Station. Here are our credentials.”Lilian stared at them with narrowed eyes, quick to realize they were just a bunch of nobodies.“Is there something wrong?” she asked.“We’ve already talked about Anthony last night, haven’t we?”“That’s right! We told you everything we know,” Simon exclaimed.“What’s the matter?”The inspector gazed coldly at them. “This is a different matter.”“Anth
Alma froze.“Marlon’s dead?” she asked in a trembling voice. “Ronnie and his father, too?”The inspector smiled.“That’s right.”“We suspect that the person who heavily injured Anthony is also involved in these incidents.”“Don’t worry, we won’t accuse anyone without solid proof.”“Though we’re requesting you to cooperate with the investigation, it doesn’t mean you’re guilty of anything.Silas squinted at the inspector. “Have you really figured out who the murderer was?”He was certain the police shouldn’t be going against him in the first place.After all, based on Anthony’s testimony, it should’ve been clear that Silas wasn’t involved.He couldn’t figure out who had so much power to make the police forget about all the evidence and shift all blame toward him.‘Is Harvey really powerful enough to clear the accusations on him?’‘Is that why I’m being blamed when I’m trying to take his credit?’The thought came to Silas’s mind, but he immediately squashed it a second later.
The inspector looked at Alma’s pretty face and hesitated.“According to Anthony’s testimony, the person who gave him a concussion is the same person who took out his brother.”“And because Anthony’s nerves are injured, he’s completely blind.“That said, he’s still fine.”“In any case, we have all the evidence we need.”“Judging from the jaw’s sentences, Silas will most likely be executed by gunshot.”“My condolences. You should prepare for the worse.”The inspector sighed.The hero went to save a damsel in distress, yet this was the outcome. How miserable!‘Anthony’s blind?!’‘The person who gave him a concussion was also the one who killed Marlon?!’‘There’s enough evidence!’‘My brother will be executed!’Alma was beside herself with shock.‘We’re finished…!’‘We’re done for!’‘Who knew stealing Harvey’s credit would turn out like this?!’“Come, men!” the inspector said. Take him away!”The inspector waved his hand, signaling for the others to handcuff Silas, who wa
After seeing Harvey leave, Silas and Alma stumbled their way out of the room.At this point, their pride was completely tarnished.They were here to take credit, but they had no choice but to give it away again.No matter how shameless Silas was, he couldn’t bear to stay.Mandy sat blankly on the bed with a face filled with regret.She regretted not trusting Harvey completely.At the same time, she was afraid that Harvey actually killed someone for her sake.Even though Harvey was escorted out of the room politely, they were still the police.“You need to get it together, Mandy!”“You got saved by that savage once, but you’re already this grateful?”Lilian felt annoyed after seeing her daughter in low spirits.“A live-in son-in-law like him has no right to make you like this!”“If it were up to me, you should be thinking of ways to be married into a wealthy family by now!”“That way, you wouldn’t be suffering in the Jean family.”“Look at the ninth branch! Other than gett
“Silas tried to take credit for Mandy’s sake, anyway.”“He loves her too much.”“It’s only natural!”Lilian shamelessly stood up for Silas.“In this day and age, not a lot of men would sacrifice everything for the sake of a woman.”“In my eyes, he’s the best man of them all!”“He’d rather go against everyone in the entire world than the one he loves!”“He’s a rare treasure!”Naturally, Lilian would say anything just to get Mandy with Silas.She twisted Silas’s humiliation and shame into something beautiful, turning him into a romanticist trying to impress his beloved.Simon was rendered speechless by her audacity. It was his first time thinking that his wife was unreasonable beyond hope.Lilian, thinking that she had convinced Simon, glanced smugly at Mandy.“If it were up to me, you should be looking for an opportunity to be with Young Master John!”“Not only will you get rid of Harvey if you marry him, but you’ll have the John family’s support too.”“The ninth branch wi
Soren froze, then grinned. “I underestimated you, Sir York.”“Let’s get back to business, then.”“All your traces from Marlon’s incident have been wiped out completely.”“However, we still need to explain Anthony’s situation.”“What are you thinking?”“At this point, can’t you just give me a Good Citizen Award?” Harvey asked. Soren’s eyes twitched, then he chuckled. “I don’t think that’s enough…”Harvey was right to stand up for what was just. However, there would be quite the dispute if he went to court just because he wanted to save his ex-wife.Even Soren wouldn’t dare give him a Good Citizen Award.Seeing Soren’s bitter expression, Harvey smiled.“Forget it. I won’t make it harder for you,” he said.“Just deal with the case as you should.”“I’ll give you my full support.”“Do you need me to get someone to bail me out?”Soren shuckled apologetically.“I’ve already arranged that for you.”“It’s good enough that you’re not angry about this.”Naturally, Soren knew
Harvey felt someone looking at him when he sat in the car’s passenger seat.He instinctively turned around, and saw the Porsche. Someone was rolling up the car window.“Mandy…”Harvey frowned. He wanted to explain the situation, but the Porsche already drove off.He let out a sigh, knowing that she was angry. He decided to find another opportunity to explain himself before the remarriage was ruined.Realizing that there was something in Harvey’s mind, Kairi stopped teasing him. She quickly left after taking him to Fortune Hall.Harvey didn’t ask for Kairi to stay, either. He started tending to the customers after boiling some tea for himself.On one hand, he wanted to distract himself from other things for the time being. On the other hand, he wanted to grow his business so he could actually attract Evermore.The organization wouldn’t even bat an eye at him if he didn’t have a business like this.Castiel went to the main hall after getting word of Harvey’s arrival. The two wer
“We’ve been married for eight years. We’ve always wanted a child, but we just couldn’t get one,” he said.“We’ve been to every major hospital in Wolsing and Mordu, but we couldn’t find anything…”“A relative told us that it might be because of our lack of energy.”“We need a geomancy expert to help us!”“We heard that Fortune Hall is the oldest place in Golden Sands.”“The owner here is also an impressive geomancy expert.”“Please! Help us take a look!”“We really need a child! Please!”His beautiful wife finally spoke up.“Don’t worry, honey.”“I heard that Fortune Hall’s been passed down to nine different generations. There used to be a prince who couldn’t make a baby during the Whip Dynasty, but he immediately dealt with the problem after consulting with Fortune Hall!”“They can handle everything!”“They won’t disappoint us!”Harvey frowned. Even though the couple spoke highly of Fortune Hall, they were actually planning to put all the blame on the place.Other than de
Harvey frowned and looked at Alexei. "Alexei, do all the people from Sky Plane have some emotional issues? Why are they all so self-centered?""Well…" Alexei was speechless. 'Bro… Big bro…' While Harvey had the strength to ignore the people from Sky Plane, Alexei didn't! Not only did he want to live, but he wanted to live a good life too!When Kuro heard Harvey's words, he smiled coldly. "You have quite the confidence, Mr. Representative. You probably don't understand what the words True Warriors meant. Today, allow me to help you understand just how terrifying the True Warriors from Sky Plane are!"As Kuro said that, he extended his right hand. A black miasma appeared around his fingers. Very quickly, it began to surround both his palms, looking extremely eerie.Mikan instinctively asked, "You're going to use the Origin Fist's ultimate attack, the Black Hands?"The so-called Black Hands was the ultimate technique of the Origin Fist. It was said that every use of it will make
To someone like Mikan, who thought of herself as someone at the top of the social hierarchy, what happened to her was humiliating and infuriated her deeply.She gritted her teeth and stared at Harvey. After a long while, she yelled, "Shameless… You shameless man! How dare you ambush me?!"Slap!Harvey sent Mikan flying again with another slap. This time, she slammed right into a giant stone pillar in the courtyard, and was instantly in a wounded state."Ambush? Do I even need to ambush rubbish like you?" Harvey's expression was full of disdain. "Who do you think you are? What makes you think you're worth ambushing?"Harvey fired a few more slaps at Mikan. There was no way for her to escape, and her entire face was now full of dirt. In the end, she was thrown out of the entrance. She rolled on the ground, and Harvey even kicked her on the buttocks.When all the spectators saw what had happened, their eyes grew wide, their faces filled with disbelief. They never expected that thing
Sky Plane and Grand City were similar. Their status in the Island Nation was also very high. Some of the Islanders even treat the Sky Plane as where the gods resided and would worship them.Since the ruling Royal Family and the Six Schools couldn't limit the Sky Plane, it made everyone who came from the Sky Plane incredibly arrogant. They believed they were the best of all. They believed that as long as they announced they were from the Sky Plane, no one could do anything to them.Mikan's attitude made everyone hold their breaths in anticipation. Some of those who still had compassion within them shook their heads.While it was nothing to them if they offended ordinary Islanders, members of the Six Schools and even those from the ruling Royal Family, crossing Sky Plane was a death wish.No one other than the direct descendent of the Grand City could attract Sky Plane's wrath.Just when all of them thought that Harvey was going to surrender, Harvey simply smirked and said, "As expe
"Since you're all coming for me, then there's no need to hide your intentions. Why don't you just directly tell me what your aim is?" Harvey said coldly. The attack on him smelled like a plot. However, the Islanders were making this too obvious… Only fools couldn't see through it."I'm Mikan Inoue, and this is my older brother Kuro Inoue. We are practitioners of the Origin Fists from Sky Plane," the Islander woman said with a commanding tone as she played with her martial arts robe, showing the size of her chest."When we're at the Sky Plane, we heard that the representative of Country H's Martial Arts had completely demolished all the Six Schools of the Island Nation. While they were simply servants of the Sky Plane, you still have to consider who their masters are. If you dare to hit our servants, then it's only natural for you to pay the price, correct?"Kuro Inoue also said with a smile, "Kneel and beg us to spare you. Then, we won't make a move. But the condition is that you
When Harvey saw what happened, his eyes became even colder. Even Alexei, someone who didn't know much about Harvey, could sense the murderous aura coming from him. He shuddered. Then, he mustered the courage he needed to yell, "Hey! You islanders! How dare you throw Dragon Gate into chaos! Do you have a death wish?!"When the elites from the Island Nation walked out of the inner courtyard and heard that, they hurled the injured trainers on the ground. Then, all of them tilted their heads as they looked at Harvey with a sneer.The leader among the Islanders' elites stepped forward and said in a nonchalant tone, "You're the Dragon Gate's scion as well as the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? You're only here after waiting for you for so long… Don't tell me you're scared?" He spoke the language of Country H very well, but if one were to listen, it was clear that his fluency was still quite lacking. A woman was walking next to him, playing with the sleeve of he
Alexei's eyes narrowed when he saw the man in the Island Nation's martial arts robe. "Big bro, are you really the scion of Dragon Gate? If you are, then this is going to be troublesome. The man who's challenging the training hall is one of the representatives the Island Nation's Sky Plane sent here. He's supposed to be an elite trained in the Origin Fist."Harvey's curiosity was piqued. "Origin Fist?"Alexei nodded. "You probably don't know this. While the so-called Six Schools sound great in the Island Nation, when it comes to the Origin martial arts from the Sky Plane, they are nothing! Even if we don't talk about the rest and just the Origin Fist, everyone who's trained in it is legendary. It's said that they can split mountains with their bare fists alone, and it's even more powerful than our country's Eagle Claw technique!"Alexei's expression was one of fear as he pointed at the wounds on all those trainers. If one were to look closely, all ad signs of being clawed upon. T
"Bro! Big bro! I finally got it now! You're Harvey York, the guy who stole Dan's spot of becoming representative! To be able to become a lackey of someone like you… Oh, this is such a glorious day for me and my family!" Alexei said excitedly."Big bro, since this is your first time here, you're not familiar with Grand City, right? Let's see… Let me personally take you to the Golden Road! I have a car, so it'll definitely be faster than you travelling on foot, right?"Alexei had already swiftly got into his Range Rover. After starting the car, he performed a handsome drift and stopped right in front of Harvey. Harvey hesitated a little but still got into the car.Since… He really didn't know Grand City well. By the time he arrived, it might already be too late.As he got into the car, Harvey checked the texts in his phone. There should be a livestream from Geoffrey's people who were on the ground. The Dragon Gate training hall had always been quite discreet. While they had put up
After hearing that, Harvey was stunned. The corner of his eyes twitched. He didn't expect that Alexei would be so idiotic.One shouldn't say such words without running them through their mind first!When Alexei saw that Harvey didn't react, he continued. "What? Do you think my Senior Vaida is not pretty enough? Too aggressive? It's fine, there are plenty of clubs in Grand City too! I can always take you to the clubs to check on the pretty ones to make you understand what it means to have paradise on Earth! No matter what happens, you're my big bro now! You'll be my big bro forever! You have to protect me from now on!" As he said that, Alexei even wanted to drag Harvey to get their relationship certified.Harvey blinked. He really had no idea how to deal with someone like this. But with Alexei close by, Harvey believed that Alexei could able to help with his objective here. Currently, Grand City is like a body of still water. No matter how much things were bubbling underneath t
After saying all that, Vaida turned and left. Harvey understood that Vaida probably had some clues about this, but she needed to do her investigation.Harvey didn't know how to feel when he saw Vaida was back to normal. Other than mistaking him for her man of destiny, Vaida was acting like a normal person.Once Vaida's figure had completely disappeared, Alexei turned around and looked at Harvey for a while, his expression still dark. He snorted and said, "Don't take this the wrong way and think you're my big bro now, Harvey. It's true you saved me, but you still deserve to die for putting Senior Vaida in your crosshair! I'm someone who compartmentalizes these things. I'll repay you for saving me, but I'll snuff out your desire as well."Harvey smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry. I won't stay in Grand City for long.""Really?" Alexei said happily, but then he quickly spoke in a huffy manner. "If that's the case, you're my guest! No matter where you want to go, or what you want t
