The man froze; he narrowed his eyes as he sized up Harvey.“What? Are you trying to save the damsel in distress? Who are you? Tell me your name!” he exclaimed, cracking his neck threateningly. “Let me see if you have the right to get yourself involved!”“I’m Mandy’s husband,” Harvey replied.“Husband?”The man froze again, then revealed a profound expression.“I know now! You’re the legendary live-in son-in-law!“I heard you’ve never even touched your wife’s hand after being married for three years!“You might as well slam your head to the damn ground for being a man like that!“You’re giving me another chance? Do you have the right? Are you worthy?”The man spat on the ground.“Come on then, you filthy piece of crap! I’ll give you a chance, too! I’ll let you go if you lick this up clean!“If not, you’ll pay your price!“I want your wife to pay for my dad’s life!”The man waved his hand, and his scoundrel-liked family members walked forward.There were some women among th
Mandy was worried. If she knew that all this was going to happen, she wouldn’t have brought Harvey with her.Without a second thought, she quickly ran and held Harvey’s hand.“Forget it, Harvey. Lift him up and apologize to him. We’ll just pay a little more, is all.”The man chuckled wretchedly.“Money isn’t enough, pretty lady!“I heard you have a sister as well! The conditions are different now!“I want you and your sister to sleep with me for a month! If not…”Crack!Harvey instantly snapped the man’s wrist by stepping on it.A loud crack resounded; the man rolled on the ground, wailing like a dying pig.The horrifying sight turned the entire place dead silent.Nobody expected Harvey to be so reckless.The incident turned into an assault almost instantly.Harvey would have to live his life behind bars if he wasn’t careful.Mandy and the Zimmer Enterprise would probably have to pay a great price just to deal with the situation.Simply put, the entire situation was made
Before Harvey could say anything, the man had already fanned the flames.“He did this, Inspector Braff!“I was just asking for a reasonable compensation for my dad’s death!“It’s already bad enough that he’s not paying! He even slapped me and broke my hand!“He said that the city belongs to him!“You need to help us ordinary citizens, Inspector Braff!“We’re relying on you!“You’re our living legend, after all!”After hearing the man’s distorted truth, Inspector Braff’s face darkened. He squinted at Harvey.“Are you a gangster, kid? You’re pretty cocky, aren’t you?“How dare you assault and harm this man! You’d have to be locked behind bars for at least three years with any of these charges!“You’re in the hospital right now! Your sentence will surely increase because of this!“That said, I’ll make sure to speak up for you if you stop this instant.”Inspector Braff pulled out a pair of silver handcuffs, and threw it right in front of Harvey.The man and his family grinned
Inspector Braff frowned, then waved his hand. Another inspector jogged to check the surveillance footage soon after.After a moment, he returned with a horrible expression and whispered something into Inspector Braff’s ear.Inspector Braff pondered the situation before sighing.“I really want to believe you, kid…“But it’s a shame. The footage didn’t do anything to help.“You don’t have proof.“I’m sorry, but you’ll have to come with us!”Mandy’s expression changed after hearing those words.“Inspector Braff! I can prove what Harvey said was true!“Not only did Mr. Lee ask for fifteen million dollars worth of compensation, he even demanded me to sleep with him for a night…”Mandy’s face was bright red, but she still explained the situation for Harvey’s sake.“Harvey stood up for me. You should forgive him.”Inspector Braff froze, then sighed again.“I’d really like to believe you.“But even if what you’re saying is true… Him saying that to you during a loved one’s death c
“That’s him,” Harvey replied.“If he’s not enough, then call Watson instead.“If he’s not enough, then call Eliel.“I’m sure they’ll guarantee I won’t do anything reckless or resist arrest in any way.“How does that sound?”Harvey shrugged casually.Inspector Braff and the other inspectors looked thunderstruck. They didn’t think Harvey would just name three people who could easily suppress them like that. Inspector Braff knew Harvey had a deep connection with the people he named without even making any phone calls.“What? You didn’t bring your phone?”Harvey smiled, and took his phone out.“Why don’t you have a listen here?”Slap!Inspector Braff took a deep breath before stepping forward and slapping the phone out of Harvey’s hand.“I don’t care who you are, nor do I care who you have supporting you!“But I’ll arrest the king himself if I have to!“Nobody gets to trample on the country’s dignity!“There’s still time if you come with me right now! If not, you’d have to
Vaughn had the aura of a rich playboy, but his white uniform made him appear quite refreshing.More importantly, the badge on his shoulder had one more line compared to Soren’s.Soren instinctively looked over, and his face darkened. “Inspection Division of the Royal Police Station?”Everyone looked at each other after hearing the unfamiliar name.The inspectors around Soren came to their senses, their expressions changing instantly.People from the Inspection Division had powerful authority. The division would usually remain extremely discreet. Their existence was almost never known.However, they had the right to govern the directors of each city’s police station. Simply put, they were the higher-ups breathing down the directors’ necks.“Good eye.”Vaughn casually pulled out his pitch-black credentials, and threw it in front of Soren.“It’s a good thing that you know.“Director Braff. For the sake of your massive family business and respect towards the Thompson family, I’
Maisie pouted; she couldn’t bother ridiculing Harvey any longer. He was just a nobody who thought he had the power to show off because of the Braff family, after all.‘Doesn’t he understand just how inferior he is compared to elites from top-rated circles?‘Not to mention, the top-rated circles from the entire country—he’d definitely have to kneel to those people!’Mandy instinctively stepped forward.“Sir, we’ll compensate according to regulations. We…”Slap!“Shut up!” Vaughn swung the back of his palm across Mandy’s face. “Did I tell you to speak?”After seeing the beautiful woman slapped in the face like that, Maisie couldn’t help but show a gleeful expression.She knew how Vaughn worked. It wasn’t that he didn’t care for extravagant women like Mandy. He had always been a reliable man; since he wanted to take down Harvey, he needed a good excuse to do so.That way, nobody would say anything even if he got someone to kill Harvey.Soren’s expression changed. “Inspector Vaug
Vaughn’s expression changed.“You know Hector?”Hector was the Thompson family’s eldest young master and the default heir. Naturally, he was Vaughn’s biggest rival.If Harvey had connections with Hector, Vaughn would be going up against someone he shouldn’t have.After seeing through what Vaughn was thinking, Harvey smiled.“Don’t worry. If you can really go against me, Hector probably wouldn’t do anything to you. He might even thank you for it.“It’s a shame that you can’t.“Judging from the look on your face, you must’ve planned for all this yourself, right?“Didn’t you give Blaine a call beforehand? How are you supposed to explain it to him if you’re the one who gets trampled here instead?”“How dare you still act so high and mighty now, you bastard?!” Maisie screamed. She was infuriated.“You think we’ll just let you go after you run your mouth like that?“What a joke! Dream on!“No need to talk to him, Young Master Vaughn!“Throw him behind bars! See which one of us
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
