Vroom!More sounds of car engines were heard during the standstill.A few police cars were parked right outside the Fortune Hall.A group of inspectors with loaded firearms strode inside.Capri John, who was wearing a white uniform, proudly stepped forward.“Stop!” she exclaimed before even looking at what was happening.“You bastard!“Don’t you know that this is Golden Sands?!“That filth, Soren Braff, isn’t the first-in-command of the police station now, you know?!“I am nothing but fair and just!“Even the king won’t get a pass for committing a crime!“If you’re going to murder with firearms, you…”Capri suddenly stopped talking.She saw Harvey York was the one being pointed at with firearms.Harvey committing murder?Catching him red-handed?This was not the case at all!Domino was stunned with an expression of disbelief.Karina Joyner told him the government would not get involved even if the Fortune Hall were burned down.Why did the police show up then?Even
“A misunderstanding?Harvey York showed a curious look.“Do you even know these people, Director Capri?“If I remember correctly, without legal documents, possession of firearms is a huge crime!“The people would either be executed or thrown behind bars for the rest of their lives!“The ones conspiring with these people would also get the same sentence!“With your intellect, I’m sure you wouldn’t work with people like this, right?“Or are you saying despite the front of a saint that you’re putting up…“You’re actually scared of a bunch of outsiders?!“Maybe you’re even having some heinous deals with their superior!”Then, Harvey glanced at Prince Gibson.“You got everything?“If not, I’ll repeat everything later.”Prince smiled.“Don’t worry, Sir York! I’m also ready to upload everything!“If anything happens, the footage will be online anytime!”Harvey gave a nod.“That’s good!“As law-abiding citizens, I’m sure the director can understand using such methods to prote
Harvey York kept slapping Domino around before Capri John to the point where he stumbled back.He wanted to shoot Harvey so badly, but he was immediately stopped when he saw Capri’s deathly glare.Capri was also boiling with anger. She knew Harvey would be dead without a doubt if she did not come!After all, he would be no match against this many firearms, no matter how good he was at fighting!Along with Prince Gibson’s eagerness to upload the footage of the entire situation, Capri was utterly enraged.She would have taken Harvey down herself if it were not for that.“Harvey York!”Capri could not help but speak up to stop Harvey from slapping Domino.After all, she knew the kind of person Karina Joyner was.Going against her would not benefit the John family either.Harvey paused before something dawned on him.“Don’t worry, Director Capri!“This is just the appetizer!“The main show’s just about to start!Before giving Capri a chance to speak, Harvey grabbed Domino’s r
Bam!An exquisite-looking antique vase was shattered all over the ground.The 1.7 million dollar antique instantly turned to dust. It was a heartbreaking sight.Blaine John looked at the shards on the ground with a gloomy expression while his entire body twitched nonstop.Capri John stood still with a horrified look. She started panicking when she looked at the broken shards around the place.“You’re saying the Locke Financial Group went for Harvey.“And because of you arriving…“Not only did Harvey manage to remain unscathed, we also have to detain those people?“We even need to inform them to pay three hundred million dollars as compensation to that bastard…“Or they’ll also be charged with an offense?”Capri gritted her teeth.“Harvey’s just too crafty, Young Master John!“He knows this is a crucial time for the head’s rise to power, and we won’t allow any scandals to happen within the family!“Don’t worry!“I’ll teach him a lesson when the inauguration ceremony’s over
The sight was highly tempting, but the people around would not even dare take a glance despite their rapid breathing.They knew that they had no right to lay their fingers on such a goddess of a woman.She was none other than the one Harvey York completely disrespected in public, Karina Joyner.Behind her, there was an Islander with an ashen face.Ibuki Masato!The current person in charge of the Tsuchimikado family!The Islanders had been holding themselves back after suffering huge losses against Harvey. It felt as if they had already forgotten the entire incident.Nobody expected Ibuki to even show up with Karina.After all, it was only natural.Seventy years ago, the Islanders had turned into lackeys for the Americans after they used a nuclear weapon on the Island Nations.No matter what kind of royal family the Island Nations had, they had no choice but to kneel in the presence of America.That said, Ibuki seemed different compared to the rest of the Islanders.He dari
Ibuki Masato showed a faint smile.“Ms. Karina.“It’s not that Blaine’s trying to go against us.“Harvey York was planning to upload the footage of the entire incident online.“The John family had no other choice.“That said, Harvey’s pretty limited no matter how impressive he is.“If you want his head…“I’m willing to be of your service.”“Right!Karina raised Ibuki’s jaw with her finger before lightly touching his cheek with her lips.“I’ll grant you any wish if you do.“This is what you want, isn’t it?”-On the next day, after dealing with the Locke Financial Group and getting three hundred million dollars as compensation…Inside the Patel family’s building, the Patel Foundation.This was the headquarters of all Patel family’s businesses…And also currently Kairi Patel’s place of work.Her office was filled with elegant white marble.A few yellow flower pear wood racks were placed in the corners of the walls, filled with all kinds of invaluable antiques.Even som
“Ms. Kairi. Someone sent you a package. Seems like same-day delivery.”The office door was pushed open, and Korbin Patel walked inside.All five major branches of the family were under the main branch’s control.But because of the current situation, the other princes made all sorts of excuses to return to their homes.Korbin was the only one who stayed to support Kairi Patel.As for Elias Patel, Kairi would not use the ace up her sleeve unless she was truly desperate.“You don’t need to do all this, Prince Korbin. I do have people who do that for me.”Kairi showed a strange expression after glancing at Korbin.The entire family realized Harvey York was only pretending to be Kairi’s fiance.That was why Korbin constantly tried to be on Kairi’s good side.Kairi did not know how to feel about that.After all, it would be wrong to assume since Korbin had yet to make any clear advances.“I’m the vice CEO here. Ultimately, I’m here to support you.“I’d be worried if I let someon
Kairi Patel looked horrible.“Do you think I’d accept your conditions just because of your threats?”“Threats?Westley Wright let out a chuckle.“You must be mistaken!“I’m only professing my love!“I’ve researching your past the best I could!“Your classmates, friends, and the best friend who turned against you…“These people come from all over the world, and they don’t even know your true identity…“It’s a little challenging to find them that way!“I’m planning to send all of them invitations for our event.“They’ll be rewarded with a hundred and fifty thousand dollars each.“Either they attend our wedding, or they turn into corpses…“How would you choose, Ms. Kairi?”Westley’s calm words were filled with an unbridled cruelty.He was not expressing any threats, yet a murderous intent could still be felt.“Do you think I’d follow your bidding just because you’re threatening me using all these people?”Westley burst out laughing.“As expected of the Poison Fairy!“I
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
