Harvey crossed his arms calmly, looking curiously at Cullan, as though the latter were just an ordinary man.Rachel, on the other hand, stood in front of Harvey with a grim expression. She placed her hand on her sword, ready to go all out if anything were to go wrong.Cullan scoffed coldly upon seeing Rachel not make a sound; he quickly took a step forward to stomp on her.He planned to take her out like he would any other person.Bang, bang, bang!Rachel fired a barrage of bullets, but to no avail. She quickly stepped back to reload, looking horrified.“If the gun is all you can muster, then I suggest you kneel and admit to your sins. It’s still not too late. This is our big day and we’re feeling generous, so we’ll spare you,” Emory suddenly said. She had been watching the show with her arms crossed, and was smiling. Harvey squinted at her for a moment.“You must be Ms. Emory.“I don’t know if you’re being sincere or if you got influenced by your bastard of a husband, but
Bang, bang!Two loud gunshots were heard. Sounds of glass shards shattering followed.Cullan, who had a high and mighty expression, suddenly looked as if he was in a lot of pain. His body froze, and blood spurted out of the two holes.“Aaagh!”Cullan wailed in pain; he fell to the ground, paralyzed. His face was pale.‘He’s crippled?! Did Harvey manage to point out Cullan’s weak points? Was that why Rachel managed to break through him?’The experts, princes, and wealthy ladies there were bewildered.Those who practiced martial arts knew that techniques like Golden Shield and Iron Skin had weaknesses. However, these weaknesses were often a well-kept secret. No outsider would even know of such a thing in the first place.And yet, Harvey managed to point them out that easily…This…Cold sweat drenched their backs, and they went limp from shock. “What’s going on here?”“How did he know Cullan’s weak spots?”“Is he actually a God of War? Is that why he has such a keen eye?”
Harvey smiled at Calvin, then casually took a seat on the huge couch in the middle. Rachel then quickly made him some black tea.After taking a few sips to quench his throat, Harvey finally spoke up.“I’m only here to get a few things straight with Young Master Calvin.“Once we’re done, I’ll get up and leave.“Do you understand?“Number one: I hope someone can tell me how exactly was Quill framed, and how he actually died.“Number two: I want to know who ordered assassins to go after Darwin and the others.“Number three: I want the name of the person who ordered that scumbag Devon to cause trouble to the Gibsons!“We’ll have a long and slow talk about this…“And when we’re done, we’ll go our separate ways.“But if you won’t do it, then I’m sorry…”Everyone was shocked, then exchanged mystified glances. ‘So he really is here for Quill!’“Enough of this, Harvey!” Calvin yelled.“Everyone knows that Quill stole the Lowe family’s mental cultivation technique!“We’ve been prot
Rachel quickly projected the footage she prepared beforehand on the screen.Ricky and Devon’s testimonies weren’t the only ones shown. They had something up their sleeves as well.They revealed some of the evidence they collected, including conversation recordings about Calvin giving everyone benefits, among other things.With the evidence, it was clear that Quill’s death was an elaborate scheme planned by the Lowe family.Not only did the Lowe family desire Quill’s energy circulation technique, but they also wanted him to be hated by history!What a malicious scheme!After getting all that evidence, everyone around quickly looked at Calvin with odd gazes.Ricky, the protector of the Lowe family’s mental cultivation technique, swore that what he had been guarding all along was just an empty book.This meant that the technique didn’t come from the Lowe family in the first place.Simply put, Quill was falsely charged. With Devon’s testimony and evidence, it was reasonable to say
The Great Protector and the rest of his subordinates entered respectfully. They quickly stood next to Harvey, folding their arms. “The protectors will never stand with a despicable man like him!“We’re in charge of protecting the entirety of Heaven’s Gate, and not just some random people!” the Great Protector exclaimed. Since you’re here to uphold justice, the protectors will surely stand with you!”“The Law Enforcement Hall has always been fair and just as well!” Kaysen added coldly.“Using the Law Enforcement Hall’s name without permission to intimidate people will come with dire consequences!“Both Ricky and Devon’s testimonies have been recorded in the Imperial Prison!” Ridge exclaimed. According to the law, all the evidence we’ve obtained is valid!”‘What?!’After seeing three well-known figures of Heaven’s Gate stand with Harvey, looking like a bunch of lackeys…Everyone’s eyes started twitching, and they wondered if they were actually just dreaming.The beautiful femal
“We don’t!” Kaysen replied sternly.“We have the rules written in black and white.“The badge has the same authority as the leader!“The holder of the badge becomes the acting head!”“Those who disobey will be seen as traitors, and must be executed immediately!”“Huh?!”The guests gasped, bewildered.As the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Kaysen would never tamper on Heaven’s Gate’s rules…And yet, Calvin said he could ignore the badge as long as he apologized to the ancestors of Heaven’s Gate. As it turned out, he was just making an excuse for himself.At this very moment, the entire crowd was starting to question Calvin.“Looks like your trick is pretty useless. “Are you going to kneel once I do pull out the badge?“If you don’t, the Law Enforcement Hall will probably execute you on-site for disobeying, right?”Harvey appeared calm. He wasn’t in a rush to show the badge just yet. He came here to crush spirits, not to kill anyone.Only then would Quill be able to recl
While everyone was still in shock, a thought came to mind.The Lowe family most likely didn’t have the mental cultivation technique. Quill must’ve been framed. If not, why would Calvin give in?Harvey grabbed the check, and looked at the numbers with a profound expression.“Take the money and leave, Harvey!” Calvin yelled. “Have a good sleep and forget about everything that happened here.“I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow and fulfill the rest of the conditions by then.“Let me tell you something else!“I gave you all this not because I’m scared!“Since the three prominent figures are standing with you…“And since you have the leader’s badge…“I believe that I should be in your good graces. “That way, Heaven’s Gate’s strength wouldn’t be wasted.“You better think this through!“This is a sacred martial arts training ground, after all!“Even if the top ten families, the five hidden families, and the four cornerstones are here, they’d have to listen to us!“So, you shoul
If the leader’s badge was actually useful…The Lowe family and the Bowie family wouldn’t have taken action against Quill in the first place.As for the Great Protector and the others standing with Harvey…Everyone believed that after getting the situation straight, they’d know who to side with.Clap, clap, clap!Harvey clapped, his face filled with admiration.“Playing both the good cop and the bad cop, huh?“What a match made in Heaven!“Quill was an honest man. He truly believed that there is order in Heaven’s Gate!“Yet, he underestimated just how despicable you people are.“It’s a shame. He was a senior of Heaven’s Gate. Even if you people wouldn’t abide by some of the rules, he had to do so.“He had beliefs that he had to follow, even though you wouldn’t do the same. If that wasn’t the case, you wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on him.“I’m not interested in the money, nor am I into the benefits you give me.”Harvey slowly stood up with his arms crossed, and looked cu
"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
After meeting Emery, Harvey left Dragon Cell's office without looking back. As for how long Emery would be in his cell, Harvey did not expect much. It was already complicated to force someone like Emery to come in and cooperate when they had little clear evidence.Once back in his estate, Harvey immediately ordered George to use everything he could to find clues about Grand City. Everything that had happened this time had crossed Harvey's line. He had to go to Grand City no matter what. Other than taking over the Three Halls as per their promise, he also needed to settle the score regarding everything else.Once Harvey had organized everything and was going to have a drink in the courtyard, he saw a discreet Bentley appear outside his gate. The door opened, and a beautiful figure emerged from the vehicle. It was Sienna, the princess of the Wright family.Harvey was not that surprised when he saw Sienna's arrival. Instead, he stood up with a smile and said, "You have the time to come
"However, I'm not interested in that. I simply want to see how you will escape from this," replied Harvey to Emery with a chuckle. "Also, I can give you a clue. The one behind this is most likely your best friend, Dan. I wonder what you think after knowing that?"After that, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked at Emery, trying to gauge whether his emotional state had changed.Emery tilted his head a little and asked in interest. "Why are you so sure that Dan is behind this?"Then, Harvey answered, "Because there's just too many coincidences. The people who did this are all related to you. Meanwhile, if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't use something simplistic and easily traceable back to you. If you analyze this from that angle, the person pulling the strings wanted to get me killed and also drag you down into the mud."And if this is how it all ended, then the person who will benefit the most from all this is, of course, the person pulling the strings, am I right? Not to mentio
After listening to what Harvey had said, Jesse was slightly taken aback. After that, he understood what Harvey meant. With things progressing to this stage, it did not matter if they met officially; they had already become enemies. If that were the case, they should have met using this chance. Perhaps, Dragon Cell might be able to find something out.When that thought crossed Jesse's mind, he picked up a walkie-talkie and said a few words. Then, he said to Harvey, "I can take you to Emery, but I hope you won't expose who you are. We will also turn off the security cameras when you speak with him. Hopefully, that will give you the results you want."Harvey calmly nodded.Five minutes later, Harvey was taken to a cell on basement level nine. There was no light within the cell, and it was extremely cold. In the middle of the cell, there was a metal chair. On top of the chair was a yellow lamp, but looking at its light alone could make one feel dizzy. While that was what others would fe
"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
