“That’s right. Grandma Bolton’s situation is out of the ordinary,” said Lochlan Anderson sternly.“I don’t have time to identify the poison. I have no choice but to pull it all out forcefully.“Her chances of surviving are slim if I do that.“But if I don’t, she’ll only last for the next three hours!“We won’t be able to find anything out with that short time.”Azrael Bolton froze after hearing Lochlan’s words.“Impossible!” he exclaimed while shaking his head with a trembling body.“My mother only has three hours left?!”The air immediately tensed. The medical experts were trembling in their boots, with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.After all, it was their savior who said those words.They also wanted to ask for Oskar Armstrong’s help…But he would take three hours to travel all the way from Wolsing.It would be too late by then.Even if Oskar were on the line, there would still be no hope for Grandma Bolton.At this moment, the medical experts were trembling
Lochlan’s words were cruel; nobody would be able to accept such harsh facts.Despite that, nobody dared to question him.After all, Grandma Bolton’s life was at stake. Who would dare refute him?“No!”“There has to be some way!”“There has to be!”Azrael gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.“That suspect must’ve been bribed! She poisoned my mother!”“She knows how to save her!”“Bring her here right now!”“I’ll question her myself!”“If she doesn’t give the antidote, I’ll kill her!”“I’ll kill her entire family, too!”“I’ll dig up her ancestors’ corpses and burn them to a crisp!”If ordinary people said this, people would see it as showing off and nothing more. Even if princes and young masters said such a thing, no one would believe it.But when Azrael said it, it didn’t seem like an empty promise.Many of the prominent figures there were dead silent. They all trembled in their boots, as if they actually saw Azrael’s threats coming true.“You’re an adult, Mr. Bo
Another seemingly reputable doctor looked at Harvey coldly. “Who let him in here? Get him out!”“Security! Where’s security?”Naturally, he thought that Harvey was a patient from the psychiatry department.He was certain Harvey was out of his mind.Azrael came to his senses, and glared coldly at Harvey.‘How dare someone cause trouble right now?’‘Does he want to die?’Saul quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.“Mr. Bolton, I brought him here. His name is Harvey York.”“My wife, Cliff, Director Braff, Mr. Pagan, and Ms. Jackson were all saved by him.”After hearing his words, the crowd felt slightly relieved.Azrael froze. A hopeful look bloomed on his face.“Are you a doctor? Can you save my mother?”Harvey showed a faint smile after making sure of the situation.“I’m not a doctor.”Azrael’s face darkened instantly when he heard that.Before he could retort, Harvey continued.“But I can save your mother.”Azrael’s eyes twitched. He didn’t know what Har
“Of course not. It wouldn’t do anything good,” Harvey replied.“I’ll drag Grandma Bolton’s soul back using geomancy.”“That way, I’ll force her back to life.”“Huh?”“Geomancy?”“Are you serious?”Lochlan looked at him, bewildered.“Are you insane?”“How dare you say something like that here! Do you think Mr. Bolton is crazy enough to let you do anything here?”“I can assure you that he’s just a conman, Mr. Bolton!”“Get him out of here!”“Stop disturbing me from saving the patient!”Azrael’s face darkened; he didn’t think a conman would show up here, of all places.Then he remembered that Saul was the one who brought Harvey here, and he hesitated.Judging from the relationship between the Hermit Families, Saul definitely wouldn’t bring Harvey here if Harvey wasn’t actually capable.Harvey ignored Lochlan’s outburst and looked at Grandma Bolton, his face grim. “If I’m guessing correctly, Mr. Anderson.”“You’re planning to stick three needles in Grandma Bolton’s body.”
“Harvey…”“No, no! Master York!”“You really are impressive! As expected from the man Mr. Robbins brought!”“I was ignorant just now. I apologize!”Lochlan quickly bowed.“Judging from what you’ve said, there should be a sixty percent chance of bringing Grandma Bolton back.”“Why would you still use geomancy despite that?”“I’m not doubting you. I just don’t understand…”Harvey smiled.“Since you’re an Eastern medical expert, you should know that martial arts are usually involved.”“Martial arts are deeply connected to geomancy arts.”“The traditions of Country H are never solitary.”“The chances of your needle techniques being related to geomancy are highly likely.”“In my eyes, you’re trying to do the same thing as me.”“Your way is just a little less effective.”“After all, Grandma Bolton has the Soul Drift.”“Food poisoning is just a front.”‘Soul Drift?!’Everyone froze after hearing those words.Lochlan’s expression turned awful. In Eastern medicine, that nam
Harvey wasted no time taking out some paper and cinnabar to make a talisman.After seeing his fluid movements, the crowd brushed off their initial shock.They thought that he only got lucky to get Lochlan’s confidence.‘Can he really save someone using geomancy?’A lot of people couldn’t believe it.Some of the doctors had puzzled expressions.‘Soul Drift?!’‘He isn’t just saving her at this point!’‘He’s fighting against death itself!’Harvey quickly drew five talismans, then looked at Grandma Bolton. He closed and reopened his eyes, and his aura changed completely.Azrael and the others could feel his fierce aura, as if he could change reality as he pleased.Tap, tap, tap!Harvey quickly flung the talismans away.They landed right on the spots he had named before.He burned the cinnabar in his hand into flames, and flicked it toward the talismans, lighting them up instantly.The crowd gasped as they watched. Everything looked just like a movie!They couldn’t believe
After dealing with Grandma Bolton’s predicament, Harvey was completely exhausted. Saving lives was a lot more tiring than killing.However, Azrael and Lochlan were eager to invite him out.Harvey had no choice but to agree, but he needed a change of clothes, since he was drenched in his own sweat.More importantly, he needed to tell Mandy that Lilian was fine.Harvey called a cab and headed back to the Zimmer family villa.Everyone was gathered inside.Aside from the Zimmer family, Gabriel and Avery were there too.Even Silas showed up shamelessly, disregarding what he had done before.They looked horrible—they didn’t know that Lilian had been freed.Harvey was confused. He had already told Saul to ask for Soren’s help, but somehow, Lilian was still locked up.Simon was furious to see Harvey come home late.“Harvey!”“Why are you still outside when the family’s in such big trouble? At least help us out!”“I can’t believe we actually got a live-in son-in-law like you! What
Everyone was shocked. There was light at the end of the tunnel, after all.Lilian didn’t suffer behind bars, and she even got 1.5 million dollars as compensation. Safe to say, the losses of her shop were sufficiently repaid.Lilian was proud about it; the more miserable she was when she in jail, the cockier she got when she was bailed out.Thinking of the second-in-command respectfully apologizing to her, she felt even more refreshed.Simon was exhilarated as well. He told Lilian everything that had happened, then looked at Silas with admiration.“There’s something you don’t know, honey. Without Silas’s help, you wouldn’t be able to get out that easily. Mr. Bolton wouldn’t even compensate you with that much money in the first place.”“You probably still would be in jail at this point!”“Aunt Anderson’s still stuck behind bars, and she’s not getting any compensation either.”Simon patted Silas’s shoulder gratefully.“What a good kid.”He was filled with admiration, thinking th
"She crushed her phone, right?" Harvey said as he looked at the evidence on the tray. "Since she needed to crush her phone, it meant there was something inside that had to remain hidden. Have you checked it?"Jesse shook his head. "My coworkers down in evidence did what they could, but this is a satellite phone. We can't check the record from the vendor. The one who destroyed the phone also destroyed the chip and the memory card. There's almost a zero percent chance of recovering the data from the phone."Harvey frowned. "Not only did she choose to die decisively, she even destroyed all the evidence. Which meant that everything she said to me before she died was meaningless. The testimony from the dead cannot be trusted."Harvey had also given his statement before this, hence why Jesse knew what Harvey was talking about."Are you sure the person behind this is Dan, Harvey? Or maybe, it's better if I said that Dan was the one that pushed all of this?"Harvey nodded. "That's what I
When the man leading the Dragon Cell members saw that Emery was willing to cooperate, he took a step forward and gave him a professional smile. "Hello, Mr. Emery. I am the captain of the Dragon Cell Task Force. You can call me Seven. This is my ID and other papers signed by the government."As you are now suspected of being involved in the murder of someone especially important in our country, we need you to cooperate with our investigation. I can also inform you that we have both evidence and witnesses. You may try to prove your innocence and do what you think is necessary, but you must go with us so we may have a good chat in Dragon Cell. If you refuse, you should understand that we have special privileges at certain times."The captain of the special task force pulled out the revolver he had with him and carefully put in a special bullet. When Emery saw this, the edge of his lips twitched. He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Since your ID and paperwork are complete, what else ca
Kyros' attention immediately turned to the screen linked to the security camera. He then saw men and women in uniforms with cold expressions right outside the door."Dragon Cell? One of the Four Pillars?" His face turned icy when they saw these people. He turned around and immediately slapped Royce in the face. "Look at what you did! Dragon Cell is here! We're both done for!"-At the estate belonging to the Wrights of Wolsing, a row of Toyota slowly drove in and stopped right in front of the estate's gates. While the cars weren't that lavish, the dark green color and the special plates explained their identities.The doors were opened, and dozens of men and women got out and walked calmly to the gate of the estate. At this time, whether it was the security guards at the gate or the defenders hiding in the darkness, they all frowned. Fear colored their faces when they saw the group appearing.The butler, who was quickly coming over to greet them, couldn't even say a word before he
Kyros immediately grabbed Royce by his collar, fury on his face. "You fool! Is your brain just for show? Why didn't you tell me before you did that? Haven't you realized that our place has been picked clean? That it took a lot of effort to get us out on bail? Haven't you noticed that there are some things even we can't control here?"Why don't you think it through when we're already in such a state? You even sent your people to kill Harvey out in the open! Do you really think this is your country, and everyone has a right to bear arms? Do you even know the consequences of using weapons in Wolsing?" Kyros breathed heavily. Then, he finally managed to let go of Royce."Wolsing has its own rules, and our country has its own laws! Countless emperors and ministers have fallen in this place, and countless dynasties have come and gone! You people are nothing in this place! Do you know that you can die without even knowing why if you're not careful?" Kyros went on, his expression was one
However, no matter how impressive Harvey's identity was, no matter how shaken Kyros was, Kyros didn't reveal it at all. To him, no matter how unbelievable Harvey's identity was, there was a limit to the influence Harvey could achieve. As long as he wasn't facing someone who was born into one of the top ten families or five hidden families, he would have the chance to win it back."If you ask me, I don't think that all of his identities are actually real. If he's really that good, why would he be unknown in my family's database?" Royce said coldly with his usual haughty tone. He couldn't even be bothered to look at the tablet as he sat opposite Kyros. "Regardless, now that things have reached this stage, my mission in Country H has completely failed. Rather than going back to Country A in disgrace, I rather fight him until the end and get some pride back for my family's sake. If we don't, forget about me… Even Emery's dignity will be all soiled because of us!" Royce said with a v
"Of course you can do whatever you want to me," Raiden said to Harvey with a cold smile. "If you can bet on everything and kill me here, then naturally a dead man like me won't be able to take the fall for Mr. Kyros and the others. But the question is…will you?"Harvey pretended to have a moment of realization when he heard that. "There's another way like that, I see. Why didn't you tell me? If I kill you directly, I'll be able to deal with this problem, right?" Harvey flicked his finger, launching a grain of sand that pierced through Raiden's throat.Raiden's body shook, his eyes filled with disbelief. According to his calculation, Harvey would obey Country H's rules no matter what. But now, Harvey seemed to be ignoring the country's laws…How dared he?How could he?However, Harvey didn't pay the dying Raiden any mind. To him, there was no need to give mercy once he started to act. Since the person behind this wanted his life and even used Raiden to disgust him, then he didn't
Rumble…The hammer's power was unleashed at this time, and it was hurled at the enemy before it with a surge of lightning. Harvey calmly slammed it with his palm.Bang!Every time they clash with each other, an unimaginably powerful sonic boom would occur, causing the entire plaza to be struck with catastrophe.Bang!The ninth time the hammer was struck down, Harvey's expression turned dark and he side-stepped the attack. He instantly avoided a bolt of lightning and then slammed his palm right into Raiden's chest.There was a bang, and Raiden's body trembled before he was hurled away immediately. The electricity around his hammer instantly dissipated, and he crashed into an electric pole like a ragdoll. He looked flustered. He struggled to get up and wanted to take out the Royal Flush he hid under his belt, but Harvey instantly appeared next to him and kicked him.Bang!Raiden was once again sent flying through the air, falling to the ground together with his hammer. His bo
Harvey still didn't relax and continued to make a roll.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The assassins with the Royal Flush continued their attacks. Very quickly, all the assassins wearing their military uniform fell to the ground, dying with a peaceful look on their faces.This also proved just how powerful the Royal Flush was. That weapon could kill even the True Warriors of legends. The ordinary assassins didn't stand a chance.At this time, Harvey had already confirmed the location of the assassins using the Royal Flush. He immediately headed straight to the entrance and raised the repeating crossbows in his hand. Then, he aimed on top of a streetlight right outside the entrance and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!The masked man standing on the street light with the Royal Flush in hand couldn't react in time. He immediately let go of the Royal Flush in his hand. A dagger slid out into his hand and he immediately jumped right on top of the street light, heading straight for Harvey, the dag
The assassin who opened the door of the fridge couldn't even cry out as he felt a pang of pain in his neck before crumbling to the ground without making a sound.All the assassins were stunned. Before they could reach, Harvey's figure appeared and the knives in his hand began to dance. Blood splattered everywhere as a few more people slumped to the ground noiselessly.However, these assassins were indeed quite skilled. When they were ambushed, one of them managed to escape the room to call for help. As he did that, all the assassins scattered around the café instantly assembled in this location."Fire! Right now!"As if they knew just how powerful Harvey was, the people outside didn't care if the assassins inside were still alright. The moment they were in position, all of them raised the guns and repeating crossbows in their hand and pulled the trigger as they aimed into the kitchen.Harvey's expression was calm. He kicked on a steel trolley outward, then immediately took a step
