Capri John’s face darkened.“You should know that you’re obliged to deal with all sorts of suspicions against you!”“You have no other choice since you’re in position!“If you’re going to keep arguing with me like this, I suggest you resign immediately!”Capri’s words were meant for Kairi Patel despite them being directed toward Harvey York.“You must be dreaming if you want me to resign.“Let’s talk about the search instead.”Harvey seemed calm.“You can tear down the car if you want…“If you manage to find anything, then we’ll gladly accept the punishment!“But, if you can’t, I’ll break your arm!Then, Harvey made a gesture after taking a step back.“Be my guest!”Capri’s expression changed before she instinctively looked behind Harvey.Harvey glanced over before seeing a few people in a tower with a familiar face standing in front.As expected, Blaine John was colluding with the Islanders!After seeing Blaine crossing his arms while watching the sight, Capri knew she
Capri John shivered before she screamed, “You’re taking advantage of me!“You’re seizing power for yourself!”Capri looked horrible.She knew the Hell’s Poison was inside the bottle since Blaine John informed her so.She just did not know how Harvey York managed to dispose of it.‘He didn’t drink it, did he?‘Who in the right mind would do such a thing?’It was bad that Kairi Patel was also taking advantage of the situation.Capri knew how the police worked. If she were actually thrown behind bars, every single one of her secrets would be revealed sooner or later.Even if she got bailed, she would not get another chance to be in her position as the director of the Golden Sands Police Station anymore.The John family would simply cast away such a useless filth.Without a second thought, Capri pulled out her firearm with the safety off before placing the barrel on Harvey’s head. She seemed obviously crazed at this very moment.“Talk!“Where did you put the Hell’s Poison?!“
The woman turned around before calmly looking at Harvey.“You’re Harvey York? You’re quite the arrogant man,” she asked, frowning.“Do we even know each other? I’ll sue you for slander!”“As expected from young men like you.“You’re going to sue me?“Don’t you know who I am?”Harvey curved his lips.“Do I need to know every small fry I meet?“I’d be exhausted!”The woman’s expression instantly darkened.Miles Keaton stepped forward before chuckling coldly.“How dare you insult Master Mograine?! This is a sin!“Not only is she one of the four elders of the Immortal Pavilion…“She’s also Mr. Damon John’s younger sister!“Blaine John’s aunt!“She was the one who taught Capri too!“How dare you sue her?! You might just be thrown behind bars in return!”“Master Mograine?”Kairi Patel’s face turned gloomy. She knew the woman was an awkward customer.“I don’t care.“If you slander me, I sue you.”Kora was boiling with anger.“Stop pretending!“We told you that Capri is
Harvey York faintly smiled while everyone was furiously screaming at him.It seemed like someone else was being insulted instead of him.Master Mograine and the others were showing utter disdain when they saw the look on Harvey’s face.“I didn’t believe it before…” said Harvey while looking at Kairi Patel.“But I do now.”Kairi was a little irate but believed that Harvey could handle the situation.“What is it?” she asked, smiling faintly.“Some people get apprehensive when it’s none of their damn business.”Kairi burst out laughing.Master Mograine and the others were showing horrible looks.“How dare you?!”“You should speak for yourself.”Harvey was stoic.“I’m the consultant of the Golden Sands’ government.“Is there a problem with me attending the first-in-command’s inauguration ceremony?”“Of course there is!” Miles Keaton exclaimed coldly.“All you have is just a title without actual authority!“The government can fire you whenever they want!“You’re simply unw
‘Longmen’s young master?!‘One of the legendary cornerstones of the country?!‘That’s him?!’According to the law, Longmen were always privileged to take any action before filing reports.From a certain perspective, Longmen also had the right to govern all government leaders.This was a privilege given by the royal court.Since Longmen’s young master showed up at such a crucial moment to attend Damon John’s ceremony…Who would dare stop him? Or rather, who would even have the power to do such a thing?Miles Keaton looked horrible, as if slapped in the face.If Harvey York were Longmen’s young master, he would be at least on the same footing as Miles!In terms of authority, Miles would not even have the right to shine Harvey’s shoe!Miles shivered before waving his hand while gritting his teeth, signaling his men to stand down.If the Council of Myth were to go against Harvey, it would be disrespectful toward Longmen!Both sides would be fated to fight!The sacred martial
Almost all eyes were on Harvey York as soon as he walked inside.A huge patio was seen right past the front door. Many square tables with guests filled the whole place.At first, many members of the John family were planning to make fun of Harvey.After all, they believed Master Mograine could stop Harvey from entering.They never expected Master Mograine to be taken down in a single hit.She could not even utter a single word after that.Blaine John and the others’ eyes twitched. Blaine was a God of War with immense strength…But he did not even realize how dominant Harvey actually was.He would not dare act this way in front of the public…So, what was Harvey trying to achieve by showing off his strength like this?“What? I’m here now.“Aren’t you people supposed to welcome me with open arms?“How disrespectful!”Since the John family had been constantly going up against Harvey, he did not want to hold back either.Blaine walked to the front of the crowd before squintin
“I guess it’s normal. Your forefathers are arrogant people who loved showing off internationally anyway.“It’s only natural for you to inherit your father’s legacy.“That said, you should probably top this.“You’d be made fun of if you flaunt your lack of strength.”It seemed like Harvey York was teaching a lesson, downright enraging Ayaka Ueda and the others.He was simply crushing their spirits!‘This bastard’s preposterous!’“You’re crossing the line, Sir York!”Karina Joyner of the Locke Financial Group stepped out before glaring at Harvey sternly.“America has always been working with the Island Nations. You’ll have to take responsibility for slandering them like this.”Harvey gave a slight nod.“Is that so? You’re telling me that you people setting up base and exploiting the people in the Island Nations is what you call working together?“I’m sorry. It looks like we have a different definition of that word, after all.“I’ll make sure to learn more about yours after t
The genetically enhanced soldiers and ninjas, blended in with the crowd, were boiling in anger.Harvey York’s sharp tongue was way stronger than his fighting skills!Blaine John’s eyes twitched. Harvey’s words were outrightly disrespecting his alliance with the Islanders and Americans.The accusation was no different than sullying the John family’s reputation.Blaine took a deep breath before speaking.“You need to show proof for your words, Sir York. You’re obviously slandering me here!“The Americans and the Islanders are only here as guests!“You’ll make many people misunderstand us for saying things like that!”“Misunderstand?Harvey let out a grin.“What did I say to make anyone misunderstand things?“If you’re putting things that clearly…“Then you must be guilty of something, aren’t you?“Are you panicking because you’re actually working with the Americans and the Islanders?“That’s no good, Young Master John…”Harvey shook his head.The John family’s faces insta
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
"All of us were ready to commit suicide for the 50 million A dollars!""We even sold out our country, meaning we could never return to the Island Nations!""You either give us all the money back, or we'll never stop hounding you for it!" All the Islanders were extremely furious.In truth, the Islanders who were paragons of unity and love were ordinary people in the end and could be swayed by profit. Without the money, they wouldn't have given such a performance.Linus couldn't help but shudder when he saw all the Islanders looking at him with murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were glaring at him, with the intent to kill. "Stop making such wild accusations!" he cried. "While I really did pay to tell you to work, all I did was give you 10,000 dollars! And that's not A dollars, but H dollars. As for paying all of you 50 million dollars per person… Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm willing to pay so much just so you'll frame Yvonne? Why don't you consider if you're w
The phones of all the Islanders who were willing to commit suicide started to vibrate. All the Islanders who were in their righteous fury took out their phones. When they saw the content on the screen, they roared—they were so angry that they almost went mad.They instantly got up from the ground, their eyes bloodshot. All of them glared at Linus, as if wanting to tear him apart. The reporters and spectators were a little shocked, and instinctively took a few steps back. It was obvious that they felt a murderous intent.Before anyone could react, Nomura waved his hand. All the Islanders surrounded Linus and his men. Linus frowned slightly. "What do you all want?""Fools!" Nomura immediately aimed his longsword at Linus. "Don't you people from Country A call yourself a civilized world? That obeying the contract is important to you? Why did you suddenly break the contract when we've done everything you asked us to do?"The other Islanders all looked at Linus with a murderous expres
Linus wore a victor's smile. The reason he looked for Tojo Nomura earlier was to accuse Yvonne and the Xavier family on the spot, to make sure they would be accused of being traitors.He didn't expect a little money to be enough to make them act. Good, good. All he could say was that no matter how powerful or barbaric the Islanders were, they were nothing before the great people of country A. Not to mention, he had already given them their rewards. Even if he didn't, the Islanders still had to act as he ordered.Yvonne frowned. Of course, she knew that nothing the Islanders said was true—merely defamation. The problem was that she couldn't understand why someone like Nomura, who was a disciple of Shinto Way, had to make up such lies.The moment that thought crossed her mind, Yvonne looked coldly at Linus and said, "Just how much did you give them to the point they're willing to sell their country?""Tsk! You think that's enough to scare me?" Linus smiled wryly. "Everybody knows h
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
