“I’m not going to that sh*tty place! Not even dogs go there!”Avery glared disdainfully. “Besides, today’s Mother’s big day. She’ll be embarrassed if we just leave like that!”“The entire place is booked, you say?” Gabriel coldly asked.“I don’t f*cking care!”“The Heavenly Box has to be ours tonight!”“I’m a member here! You need to serve me, no matter what!”“If not, I’ll report you people to the Food and Drug Administration!”Gabriel had a determined look.After all, he couldn’t even do anything significant. If he couldn’t deal with such a small matter, Lilian would surely look down on him.The lady smiled, unperturbed by his threats.“I’m sorry. You can report us all you want, but we can’t serve you tonight.”“Please don’t block the entrance,” she said firmly.“My name is Silas John.” Silas stepped forward with a smile before Gabriel could lash out.“Tell your boss to see me.”“Tell them that I’m here!”The lady froze. She was naturally terrified of the John family
“Ms. Lee! I was wondering who it was!”Silas glared coldly at her, his eyes narrowed.“Do you think you have the right to go against me just because the Newgate Chamber of Commerce is backing you up?”Silas was filled with disdain.At the end of the day, Ms. Lee was just a woman who relied on Kellan to rise to power.‘Does she really think that she’s capable?’‘Does a sinful woman like her have any rights?’Ms. Lee smiled faintly.“True, CEO Ruiz and I are small fries. We’re nothing to you.”“That said, Mr. Bolton has the place booked for the honorable Mr. York.”“If he knew that a mere relative of the John family is causing trouble outside…”“I’m sure he’ll be here to teach you a lesson soon enough.”Ms. Lee spoke gently.She seemed so frail, as if a small gust of wind could bring her down. However, her threatening words were enough to make Silas’s eyes twitch.“Mr. Bolton?” he said, cold sweat forming on his forehead.“Which Mr. Bolton?”Ms. Lee chuckled.“Other than
A custom-made Maybach stopped in front of them. Eight layers of glass were stacked in every single window. Even sniper rifles couldn’t penetrate it.A Rolls-Royce Phantom sat between eight of the Maybach cars. It had an old-school look to it. It wasn’t going too fast, but it exuded a dignified aura.Ms. Lee and the others trembled, and rushed forward.“Mr. Bolton’s here!”Silas and the others instinctively stood at the side, looking at the convoy with admiration and curiosity.They could tell that Azrael was coming.They wanted to know who he invited.Judging from Azrael’s identity, the people he’d invite would normally be from the five hidden families or the top ten families.The door of the cars opened.Thirty-six fierce men in suits rushed out, looking stern and unapproachable.Eight men in robes walked out, their eyes sharp and fearsome.After all the men made sure that there wasn’t any danger, they opened the door of the Rolls-Royce.Everyone saw a single leg coming ou
Harvey nodded with a smile, and walked beside Azrael.Saul, Lochlan, Kellan, and the others followed as well.The group chatted idly, in high spirits.Lilian and the others were shocked. They couldn’t accept the fact that Harvey was Azrael’s guest. They couldn’t bear Harvey looking down on them, either.No—he didn’t even see them in the first place.Birds in the sky wouldn’t bat an eye toward mere ants.It was only natural.Mandy let out a silent sigh.She knew Harvey had an extraordinary identity. She doubted him at first, but her belief was getting stronger again after seeing what was happening in front of her.Sometimes, she would think that Harvey was below her.But most of the time, she’d feel that Harvey was like a star in the sky—completely unreachable.It was fate that the two were even a married couple to begin with.It felt like a dream—it was almost unreal.While Lilian and the others were still shocked, Avery didn’t want to believe anything in front of her. She
Avery didn’t realize it, but Gabriel was already shivering in fear.He quickly dragged Avery back, and repeatedly bowed to Azrael.“I’m sorry, Mr. Bolton! I’m really sorry! My wife’s a little out of it right now!”“She didn’t mean it! Please be kind to her!”Lilian kept nodding. “That’s right, that’s right! She’s a little crazy! She didn’t mean it!”Lilian wasn’t worried about Avery at all. She simply didn’t want Azrael to get angry and take back the money he gave her.“Mr. Bolton, here’s my wife and my parents-in-law,” Harvey said calmly, before Mandy could speak. “This woman didn’t mean to offend you.”“Give her a chance.”Harvey didn’t want Avery to die, even though he didn’t like this woman and her husband.If that happened, Lilian would pester the living daylights out of him.“I see. They’re your family,” Azrael said.“Hahaha! What a coincidence!”He waved his hand, signaling for the others to step back. Then, he looked at Lilian and Simon. “I’m sorry about that, eve
Seeing that, Lilian screamed.“Enough, Harvey!”“Silas is our guest! How dare you let that woman slap him!”“Is this a joke?!”Mandy hesitated, then spoke up to defend Silas. “Young Master John saved my mother, Harvey. Maybe we can…”Harvey immediately cut her off.“The staff aren’t servants. They’re free people, like every single one of us.”“What goes around, comes around.”“If I wanted Silas dead, he wouldn’t be standing right now.”“Do you think he’d just take a couple of slaps to the face?”“Ask him. See if he’s going to fight back after that.”Silas gritted his teeth.“You…”The lady gritted her teeth, then charged forward. She immediately slapped Silas’s face a few times.Slap, slap!Two palm prints appeared on Silas’s face. He was seething with anger; he wanted to strangle both Harvey and the lady to death, but he simply couldn’t. He was filled with unbridled rage.‘Just you wait, you b*stard!’ he thought angrily.“Remember, call me if someone comes at you fo
“Mandy!”“Don’t go!”Simon quickly called Mandy, but she had already picked up the pace.He could only wave his hand at Harvey, and then catch up to his daughter.Despite her shame, Lilian wanted to head inside. However, she could only leave with the others, looking resentful.Gabriel and Avery stumbled out of the place immediately, afraid they’d be pushed around by Azrael if they stayed.At that very moment, a red Lamborghini parked at the entrance. A long, slender leg wrapped in fishnet leggings could be seen. A second later, Kairi stepped out of the car.Harvey’s head started to ache when he saw that. He finally knew why Mandy left.Then again, it’d be bad if he tried to explain the situation. He had no clue what to actually tell Mandy.The door of the passenger’s seat opened. Arlet walked out as well.Harvey was speechless.Thank goodness Mandy had already left; he wouldn’t know what to tell her if she didn’t.Azrael had a profound look when he saw the couple’s little
Everyone knew that Azrael’s strength was quite extraordinary.Together with his family’s influence, if anyone dared to assassinate him, their entire families would be burned to the ground.That said, a few did try to kill him when he started to learn martial arts. Now that he was well-known, nobody dared to attempt something like that.Without bothering to take action, Azrael pointed at the killer.The security guards immediately pulled out their firearms, and surrounded the killer completely.The welcome lady finally raised her head, but she wasn’t looking at Azrael; her gaze was locked on Kairi. Then, she glanced at Harvey.Harvey returned her gaze calmly. If it wasn’t for Kairi and Arlet, he would’ve dealt with the killer by then.The situation was in utter chaos. Nobody could know if there were more killers hidden in the crowd. It was best for Harvey to sit back and watch for the time being.“No need to keep her alive,” Azrael said, as the security guards stepped up.They
"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
