Harvey York frowned. ‘Is this how the higher-ups think of me?‘Gavin Bauer asked me to become the Chief Instructor of the nine biggest military forces as a test?“To my knowledge, the Chief Instructor doesn’t have that ambition.“If he did, he would’ve sat on the throne during his peak.”Eliel Braff smiled.“Who knows?“We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover…“Maybe he doesn’t have that kind of ambition.“But the higher-ups would probably think otherwise.”Harvey’s eyes twitched when he chugged his tea.He realized that he was being too naive.People have changed.The country would probably follow that change.He would not let that happen.***In the middle of the night, Harvey left the Braff family’s ancestral house.He looked toward the north with mixed emotions. He realized he had to go to Wolsing after dealing with Evermore.He did not want to go, but he probably had no choice.This was probably his life.After heaving a sigh, Harvey rubbed his temples before r
Mandy Zimmer frowned the moment she stood up.“Who are you people? Who said that you can come in?” she coldly exclaimed.“You need to pay for the damages, you know.Ensley Johnson waved her hand while completely ignoring Mandy.The bodyguards and Ronins quickly spread out.They stood in front of the entrances and exits before kicking the doors down.The entire house was a mess, but nobody else was around.Mandy was utterly enraged after seeing the sight.“What do you want?!“Do you know that you destroyed an ancient porcelain vase and kiln?!“Those things are priceless!“Who gave you the right to do such a thing?!”“You’re Mandy, right?”Ensley squinted with her long and narrow eyes. A cold expression was obviously showing on her face.“Call Harvey York! Tell him to come!” she exclaimed.“Right now!”Mandy’s expression instantly turned dark.“Who are you to him?“What do you want him for?!”Ensley showed a disdainful glare as she sized up Mandy.“That’s none of your
“I’m calling the cops! You’ll be thrown behind bars!”Mandy Zimmer pulled out her phone, planning to make a call.“Heh! You’re doing that in front of me?!“You really want to suffer, don’t you?!”Ensley Johnson coldly chuckled before pointing at Mandy.“Come! Teach her a lesson! Let her know who she’s talking to!”Along with Ensley’s order, two Islander women grabbed Mandy’s hands before someone else snatched the phone from her hand.“What are you doing?!”Mandy kept struggling, but she was not strong enough to go against the group of people.Her head and hands were held completely still.She was pressed onto the couch, stopping her from moving a single inch.In their eyes, Mandy was just a prisoner.She had no chance to break free.The women were clearly expert martial artists. Mandy was simply powerless against them.She could only grit her teeth as she coldly exclaimed, “You people are barbaric!“This is Country H, this is a lawful country!“You’ll pay for all this!”
“No need to hold back. Continue.”The Islanders excitedly beat up Mandy Zimmer after hearing Ensley Johnson’s order.After all, without status, women would be looked down on by statusless men of the same level.They suffered a lot to get to this point. Now that they could show off, they unhesitatingly took the chance.Mandy’s hands and head were held still. She had no means to fight back. She had no choice but to watch as the women slapped her around without pause.Mandy’s entire body was trembling in pain. Judging from her attitude, she was completely infuriated but would never give in.She would never bow down to those people.Bam!Before long, Mandy’s consciousness started to fade. Mandy’s whole body swayed before she slammed to the ground.***It was already noon when Harvey York quickly came to the People’s Hospital.He saw Lilian Yates, Simon Zimmer, and Xynthia Zimmer panicking like cats on hot bricks.The lights of the emergency room had been on the entire time. It
Lilian Yates suddenly realized that Mandy Zimmer was still being rescued in the emergency room after hearing Simon Zimmer’s words. It would be bad if the commotion affected Mandy’s treatment.Without a second thought, she swallowed her rage and disdainfully glared at Harvey York.Obviously, she would have strangled Harvey to death if it were not for the wrong occasion.“How’s Mandy?”Harvey could not be bothered to entertain Lilian since he knew how she would act. Besides, he was also partly responsible for what had happened.“We only reached here, but the security said that Mandy’s face and stomach were covered in bruises. Her hands were also cuffed behind her back.”Rage was written all over Simon’s face.“My daughter’s the head of the ninth branch! Aren’t those people afraid of us taking revenge?!”Simon’s expression had a mix of anger and worry. A sense of resentment and powerlessness could also be felt from him.Lilian felt utterly dejected. She looked down on Harvey, but
“That said, we managed to treat her injuries for the time being. We’ll have to wait till tomorrow to figure out when the patient will wake up again.“She’ll be warded in the hospital for further observation. I’ll arrange the best room and nurses for her.“Don’t be too worried.”Naturally, Maren Failes was doing this for Harvey York’s sake.If not, ordinary people would not be taking the best rooms. After all, there would be a lot of patients every single day.Simon Zimmer and the others kept bowing after hearing those words.“Thank you! Thank you, Director Failes!”Harvey glanced at Maren.“You’re too kind, Director Failes. If you need Senior Armstrong’s help, just give me a call.”Mandy Zimmer could only rest in the hospital since she was heavily injured externally.Afraid of bothering her sleep, Harvey idly chatted with Xynthia Zimmer briefly before leaving the place.Other than arranging people to protect Mandy, he also had some scores to settle.Later, Xynthia followed
Harvey York returned to Fortune Hall after leaving the hospital.He briefly thought about the situation before sending Prince Gibson a text.The Newgate Chamber of Commerce was not enough to protect the Zimmer family anymore. Instead, the Golden Sands’ branch of Heaven’s Gate had to take action.He believed that with expert martial artists, the family would not get into further trouble.At the same time, his phone vibrated before a surge of texts popped up. They were from Prince.The texts pointed out Chiba Nobita’s background and the people he met upon arriving in Country H.Harvey showed a profound gaze when he saw the list of names.The lights were dimmed out in his study when he stood crossed arms before the window, blankly staring in Wolsing’s direction.At three o’clock in the morning, Harvey’s ears twitched when he heard the sounds of car engines while cooking himself a snack. Judging from the sound, it was probably a pickup truck.Harvey’s eyes twitched before he insti
“The enemy’s got some good moves. Then again, the person who found such a scapegoat must be a local here.“Did we find out who had met with the driver?”Kellan Ruiz thought about the situation for a moment.“I found footage showing someone pushing the drunk into the truck.“The drunk was completely blindfolded. The license plate was covered as well.“He had golden threads on his suit. The person in the passenger’s seat also seemed like an Islander…”Harvey clapped his hands.“The John family. Interesting.“The fact that Chiba Nobita got someone from the John family to do it seems a lot more interesting…”Harvey seemed indifferent. It was clear that Chiba and the others were the culprits.After all, only they would use such a desperate move.The rich and powerful from Country H would always go against each other, but at least they had dignity.It was Harvey’s first time seeing someone attempting murder with gasoline.He did not expect that the John family would be involved
