Bam!The door was kicked open.Capri John came in with her arms folded before sizing up Harvey York.“My dear Sir York…“What is it that you want to complain about?”Harvey pointed at the food before him with a smile.“I know I’m the suspect, but I at least have the right to perform basic human functions, right?“How dare you treat me with food that’s been sitting out here for days?“Aren’t you scared of embarrassing yourselves?“Besides, who knows if you’ll get to keep your position when I tell everyone you’ve been torturing me like this?”“Just eat the damn thing, Harvey,” replied Capri coldly.“If you don’t want to, then just starve.“As for doing anything when you’re outside, you shouldn’t entertain that thought.“Do you think you’ll have a chance to get out after coming in?”Harvey merely shrugged.“I can get out whenever I want to.”“That’s right. You represent the country’s Martial Arts Alliance.Capri gave a cold chuckle.“I wouldn’t be able to do much if you’
Capri John showed a look of admiration.“Impressive. I didn’t expect you’d be able to remain calm under these circumstances.“Your title’s well-deserved, I see.”Harvey York smiled.“You and I both know that Kalel Hoffman being disabled has nothing to do with me.“No matter what Rohan brings as evidence, there’ll surely be faults in all of them.“Since that’s the case, I’ll just have to deal with him before demanding the police for an explanation. You’ll beg me to leave after that.“Why would I waste my trump card on something like this?”Capri froze before showing an intense look.“Are you that confident that no one can deem you guilty?”“Country H is a lawful place.“No matter how strong your family is, can you outmatch the law and the royal court?“If you play by the rules, I wouldn’t mind playing along either.“But if you try to go above the law…“I’ll just have to destroy the family once and for all.”Harvey’s calm words made Capri’s heart skip a beat.For some rea
Half an hour later, the interrogation room was filled with steaming hot dishes.All sorts of colorful foods were seen inside.Other than that, various teas were placed around as well.Harvey York casually picked up his utensils before digging in on the food.After filling his stomach to the brim, Harvey squinted at the man in a white shirt.He was none other than Blaine John himself.He was probably the only person who could make the new first-in-command of Golden Sands Police Station this obedient.“How calm, Sir York.“You’re already a prisoner here, yet you’re having such a good meal.“Judging from this, you are doing a lot better than me …”Harvey casually took a sip of tea before looking curious.“Who said that I’m a prisoner?“I’m just a suspect. If Rohan doesn’t find anything concrete after forty-eight hours, I’d be able to leave.“Why should I have to worry then?“I’ll just pretend I’m here for a short vacation.“There’s been a lot going on in the city anyway. It
Blaine John showed an invigorating smile after seeing Harvey York’s expression change.He wiped the corner of his mouth with some tissue before speaking.“Judging from the look on your face, I’d say that crushing someone’s spirits is a lot more effective sometimes.“No wonder you prefer to do things this way.“I should learn from you more.”Harvey squinted.“Aren’t you scared of me slapping you in the face for saying this?”“Slap me?Blaine let out a chuckle.“Do you even dare?“If you do, you’d have to stay here for a few more days.“After all, it’s a huge crime to hit someone in a place like this!“Your title as the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance won’t save you here.”Then, Blaine leaned in toward Harvey with a smirk.“Come on! Hit me!“I’m right here! Do you dare?!“If not, as long as you kneel before me…“I’ll consider telling Capri to release you. How does that sound?”Blaine beamed confidently.Naturally, he believed that Harvey would not
Blaine John swatted Harvey York’s hand away before squinting at him.“Do you even have proof?“I’m afraid you can’t use our conversation as proof now, can you?“Without that, how do you prove that I asked you to hit me?“Is anyone even going to believe you?”Harvey pointed at Capri with a faint smile.“I have proof right here.”Blaine instinctively frowned.“Are you insane?! If you want me to testify, I…”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Capri’s face before she was even done speaking.“Did I ask you to speak?”Capri was filled with disbelief. She did not expect Harvey to dare hit her under such circumstances.Then, Harvey stepped forward before patting Blaine’s face.“You know full well who I am.“Other than the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, I’m also Longmen’s young master.“I have a nominal title, but I also have immense authority.“If you want to play by the rules, I’ll oblige.“But if you’re going to be unreasonable, then I ca
Half an hour later, Harvey York appeared in front of the police station.Even Blaine John, a high and mighty figure, knew this.Since Harvey revealed his identity as Longmen’s young master, the government had no choice but to stop making things more complicated for him.Besides, the evidence would not even do anything since Harvey did nothing wrong.Fabricating evidence against the young master of Longmen was indeed a huge crime.The master of Longmen was not an easygoing man either.Blaine had no choice but to take the slap…Unless he was ready to fight to the death.He believed that it was not the time for that yet.A Lamborghini was parked on the side of the road before the entrance.Harvey casually walked up to the passenger’s seat before seeing Kairi Patel reapplying her makeup while heaving a sigh.“As expected of you, Sir York.“I was wondering how I could bail you…“I didn’t expect you’d come out alone.”Kairi put her lipstick down before walking toward Harvey. Th
Ten o’clock in the morning, inside one of Golden Sands’ most luxurious business centers.Many big meetings and banquets would often be held here. Without a big enough connection, it’d be hard to even book the place.On this day, it was filled with people. The Hoffmans’ event was being held here. All the family’s most prominent figures and people of authority had come from all around the world.As a part of the top ten families, every single one of them had an impressive identity.Some were doing well for themselves because of their strong family background. Others used their own strength to rise to power.There were all sorts of people around, but they were all impressive. The only thing that they had in common was that they were from the same family.The purpose of the event was to gather all of these powerful people in a single place. They could all form some sort of relationship with each other, and show off their united strength to the entire world.There were two hours left
“What an honor to have you in this family event, Lola! This is truly a blessing!”Rohan ignored the rest and approached Lola, his subordinates following him.“The cooperation agreement between the Hoffman family, the Patel family, and the six Hermit Families will be commenced. Harvey will be bailed without any charges, too.“This is all thanks to you! I believe that the others will be grateful to you too after recognizing your efforts.”Rohan touched Lola’s finger.He desperately yearned for his first love—his sister, who happened to be pregnant to boot.He took a deep breath as if he was sucking in all the air around Lola. He finally found his addiction when he wasn’t interested in women in the past.From the moment he saw Lola, he swore to make her struggle under him.His body was burning with passion; he was so excited, he was already shivering. If it wasn’t for the occasion, he would’ve pounced right at her by now.‘Nobody told her to be pregnant. They say a woman like tha
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
Coco looked at her phone and saw her Facebook alternate account had just added Tina. She frowned slightly. The only reason she approved the request was so Willy and the others could use that to pinpoint Tina's current location. She didn't expect Tina would dare send her voice messages…and so many of them in one go, at that.Originally, Coco wanted to delete all those voice messages. However, the last message read, "This is for your own good, so you better give it a read." There was even a smiley face at the end.Coco was slightly stunned when she saw it. She exchanged a look with Dan, and the two told everyone to leave before playing the voice messages.Coco wasn't interested in everything in the beginning, since it was Tina begging for her life. She didn't take it to heart. But when she reached the end, Coco's expression suddenly darkened. "How you and your brother poisoned Alexei, how you ordered Sky Plane to ambush the mayor for your brother's sake, and the truth behind Duran
"Coco, it's fine. This is not Willy's fault," Dan said calmly as if he had everything planned and saw through everything.He pulled out a vintage wine that he had been saving, uncorked it, and poured Coco a glassful, hoping his sister could calm down at this key moment."Who could have expected at this day and age, a mere servant could fight back when forced into a corner? Tina was indeed just an ordinary woman, but when facing a life-and-death situation, it was quite normal for her to have a burst of energy. She ran straight for the Fosters' territory, which was obviously meant to make things difficult for us."Willy not performing as well as we expected is only because we can't make an enemy out of the Fosters just yet. This is for my good, so stop blaming them anymore."At the very least, he has already arranged a few snipers nearby. The moment Tina shows her face, they'll kill her immediately. Things aren't so bad that they can't be solved," Dan said, sighing.Then, he continu
"What do you mean?" Tina was slightly stunned, unable to react to Harvey's words.Harvey waved a familiar-looking phone. In front of her, he tapped on the red exclamation marks. When the resend button appeared, he tapped it. Ding! Ding! Ding!All the voice messages that failed to be sent out earlier had all been sent out. Meanwhile, Tina finally managed to react. Tina screamed."Ahhh! Harvey, you fool! You're going to get me killed!" Tina screamed.She momentarily forgot the wounds on her as she almost jumped from the bed, as if wanting to choke Harvey to death. She knew very well what the sent messages meant for Coco.Most importantly, she even told Coco she had a recorder with her…This…This gave Coco the perfect reason to get her killed. Her fate had been decided the moment Harvey pressed the send button!That bastard!He really was a bastard!How could there be such a shameless man in this world? If eyes could kill, Tina believed she would have already killed Harve
