Penulis: A Potato-Loving Wolf
Slap!

The leading inspector slapped Elodie Jean in the face.

“What do you think you’re saying?!

“You’re the one stealing all of these priceless artifacts!

“And now you’re accusing someone of tricking you?!

“Nobody can do that if you just didn’t steal in the first place!

“Are you doubting the police?! Or do you think that we’re idiots?!”

Under the crowd’s shocked gaze, Elodie was taken away…

***

Half an hour later, inside the CEO’s office.

Mandy Zimmer made some tea for Harvey York before showing an odd expression.

“Why did you help me?

“Didn’t you say I could start again after leaving the ninth branch?

“You’ll only deepen my relationship with the Jean family at this point…”

Harvey blew on his cup of tea.

“I do want you to leave, but not when you’re discredited.

“I want you to make the Jean family regret when you do.

“Besides, we’re not remarried yet…

“But it’ll be easier for you to care for me with all that money, right?” said Harvey jokingly.

    Harvey York squinted.“Ancient lineage? How ancient?”Mandy Zimmer froze before shaking her head.“I don’t know either. I only heard from the other branch heads during a family meeting.“Us branch heads have control of a tremendous amount of resources and manpower…“But to the first branch, we’re only servants and slaves.“We’re just tools for them to make more money.”Harvey frowned.“That’s all the more reason you need to become a prominent figure of the family.“One day, you’ll also be able to take control of the first branch.”Harvey hoped for Mandy to become the head of the family so she could finally be in the upper social circle…But judging from her words, the Jean family still had other secrets.If that were the case, then Mandy’s rise would prove to be difficult.Becoming one of the family’s higher-ups and one of its prominent figures was the only chance Mandy had at rising to power.Of course, Harvey would also support her if she wanted to leave the family.Bu

    Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean were naturally a part of the ninth branch.The call was too sudden. Even Mandy Zimmer was not able to return to her senses.“That can’t be a coincidence…” said Harvey York calmly.“Reuben’s here as soon as Elodie got sent in? He even asked for the entire ninth branch to welcome him…“He’s basically forcing us to bail Elodie out!“Impressive!“What a move…”Harvey sighed.“Then, I’ll get Elodie out,” he said, not wanting to make things any harder for Mandy.Mandy let out a bitter chuckle.“You don’t have to.“Mother already bailed out Elodie and Aunt Witby before calling me. She begged the police for that, proving the theft was just a big misunderstanding.“They’re heading to the airport now, and here we are…”Harvey did not think that Lilian Yates still had feelings toward Aunt Witby.But since the two were quite close, it was only natural for a like-minded person to be in distress.Along with the situation at hand, Harvey decided to let it go

    Naturally, Elodie Jean was perfectly calm at this moment.She knew there was no point in making things harder for Harvey York. Mandy Zimmer could even break off from Harvey, making him suffer alone.Mandy, on the other hand, would turn into a mere spectator.Elodie could not accept that.That was why she planned to drag Mandy down first.Reuben Jean raised his head before glancing at Mandy with a faint smile.“Mandy’s the head of the ninth branch, Elodie. You can’t just scold her like that.“Even if she’s an ungrateful person who doesn’t respect her elders, she does have the right and power to do so.“After all, no matter how weak the ninth branch is, the head’s status is still immense.”Reuben pretended to speak for Mandy, but his gloomy tone clearly meant he only wished to crush Mandy’s spirits.Even Lilian Yates, who would always run her mouth whenever she was angry, would not dare say a single word at that moment.Simon Zimmer looked the other way, as if nothing ever hap

    “Quick! Let’s show Elder Reuben our sincerity!“Show him how much we respect and admire him!”Lilian Yates and the others also came in a hurry, hoping that Mandy Zimmer would bring out something good to appease Reuben Jean.Mandy felt her head about to explode when she bowed.“I’m sorry, Elder Reuben. We hurriedly came, so we didn’t prepare anything worthwhile for you.“We’ll definitely get something for you after this, though!”“You disrespectful girl!”Lilian was trembling in rage. She was on the verge of passing out at this moment.“You’re disrespecting Elder Reuben here!“Doesn’t he mean anything to you?!“Is he not worth anything?!”Elodie Jean saw the opportunity.Naturally, she would not let go of the chance to ridicule Mandy.“I know about the ninth branch’s situation. I know that you’re also a stingy woman!“But didn’t you just get a hundred and fifty million dollar contract?“You’re clearly earning your fill and more, and yet you won’t even give something to El

    “You little bitch! How dare you slander Elder Reuben’s name?!“Do you want to die or something?!”Elodie Jean was screaming in righteous fury.Reuben Jean, who had been watching the show, showed a gloomy expression.“Slap her!”Slap!With Reuben’s support, Elodie was as confident as she could get.She stepped forward before swinging the back of her palm across Xynthia Zimmer’s face. Xynthia stumbled back, almost falling to the ground.“How dare you, Elodie?!” she exclaimed.Elodie coldly chuckled.“Am I not supposed to?”Elodie swung the back of her palm forward once again.Xynthia instinctively blocked with her hand…But at this very moment, Reuben suddenly stepped forward before slapping Xynthia.A loud, crisp sound was heard.Xynthia covered her face while stumbling a few steps back before showing utter disbelief.“Elder Reuben, you…”In her mind, a man like Reuben would not do something as he pleased.And yet, it did happen.Xynthia looked stubbornly as if she wa

    Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched. If Mandy Zimmer were to be taken out and robbed of her position, she would end up horribly.“This was our fault, Elder Reuben!” exclaimed Lilian with a pampering look.“We’ll do whatever you say!“We won’t complain! We won’t hold a grudge either!“Come! You should slap me first to console yourself!”“You must be tired after coming all the way here! You should have some rest! I’ll arrange a meal for you immediately!” added Simon Zimmer.“You’ll definitely be satisfied!”Simon did not mention anything about his daughters kneeling.Xynthia was a little dissatisfied but kept her mouth shut after Lilian fiercely glared at her.Reuben Jean shifted his gaze towards Harvey York’s casual expression with a hint of gloom.“Aren’t you the live-in son-in-law?“What’s the matter with you? Why are you just standing there?“You take everything from the family, yet you wouldn’t even kneel to greet Elder Reuben?!”Elodie Jean saved no breath to ridicule Harvey a

    “You little bastard!“How dare you speak to me this way?!”Reuben Jean was utterly enraged.“What is wrong with your family, Simon?!“As the head family of the ninth branch, you couldn’t even teach a damn live-in son-in-law properly!“You disappoint me!“At this point, I should probably hold a meeting with the Elder Group. Maybe we need a different branch head instead!“Letting ignorant and disrespectful people in positions of power wouldn’t benefit us anyway!”Elodie Jean and Aunt Witby’s eyes lit up.“That’s right! It’s about time we have a different branch head!” the two exclaimed.“Someone might just take advantage of others with all that arrogance!”Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched before glaring at Harvey York.“Elder Reuben is a prominent figure, Harvey! If you’re going to challenge him like that, at least leave Mandy out of this!”“Don’t worry. He’s just an arrogant and unreasonable man with some skill,” replied Harvey.“People like that can’t go against Mandy, let alo

    Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched after hearing Harvey York’s words.Harvey emphasized that he was already divorced from Mandy Zimmer and was not a part of the Zimmer family anymore…But Reuben Jean would not see it that way!“Shut up already, Harvey!” Lilian exclaimed.“I’ll rip your mouth if you keep yapping!”“Heh heh heh heh! It looks like many people have forgotten how I do things after being secluded for so long…“I didn’t expect someone would dare disrespect me in front of my face…”Reuben squinted while smiling faintly at Harvey. He was not angry at all then.“I do hope that you’re at least a little capable, kid!“If not, I must teach you to respect your elders!”Reuben casually waved his hand.Two towering bodyguards stepped in front, prepared to take action against Harvey.Slap slap!Harvey immediately slapped the bodyguards down.Then, he came in front of Reuben before tapping on his face.“What are you doing, you little bastard?!” Reuben exclaimed. He was unable to

    It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go

    "No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig

    Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey

    "Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w

    Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim

    Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr

    Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e

    Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first

    "You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
