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
The customers all looked at each other. They were only here because they were told about Fortune Hall’s impressive feats.They didn’t think that Harvey would actually be this impatient.It was bad enough that he couldn’t solve the problem, but he even told the customers to leave without hesitation.People started to gossip, looking at Harvey with distrust and disdain.Castiel was confused as well.“What are you doing, Master York? Even if we can’t help, we shouldn’t just chase the customers out.”Harvey glared at Castiel. “You’re a little too inexperienced. Today, you need to copy everything from the Centennial Book ten times.”He then took a sip of tea to quench his thirst.“Are you sure you don’t want to leave now?”“It’ll be bad for you if we stay on topic.”The husband glared coldly at Harvey after hearing those words.“What’s the meaning of this?”“Who in the right mind would do business like this?!”“Customers are always right!”“I’ll report you to the housing depar
‘A man?’‘Unable to reproduce?’The crowd froze, then stopped dialing.The couple were stunned. They looked at Harvey with puzzled expressions.“How dare you slander us, you b*stard?!”The husband came to his senses soon after.“My wife’s such a beautiful woman, but you’re calling her a man?”“This is a huge offense!”“I’ll destroy your entire store right now!”“Will you now?”Harvey smiled and slapped the couple to the ground again.“You gave me all the information of a man, then you ask me why he’s unable to give birth?”“And then you demand me to solve the problem?”“Do you think the Centennial Book is just for show?”“Do you think I couldn’t tell?”“You should’ve just said you could give birth instead! I’ll even look for a good date for you!”Harvey kicked the so-called woman to the ground before pulling her scarf away.An Adam’s apple could be seen on him. There was simply no need for an explanation.The crowd went completely speechless.“He is a man! That b*s
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
