Harvey kept the card and the badges before speaking again.“Since I’m so capable, shouldn’t you be talking right now?”For a while, Asher hesitated. Then, he spoke.“I’m not sure if my information’s correct.“According to the seller of the dizzy pills that I contacted, I suspect that his products came from the Crora Temple—the most mysterious out of the three great temples.“Compared to the vibrance of the Aenar Temple and the Kronen Temple’s desolate nature… The Crora Temple is the most terrifying.”“The Crora Temple…” Harvey muttered, a grim look on his face.-After receiving the important news, Harvey calmly left the police station. He trusted Dutch to do the right thing, so he left Asher in Dutch’s hands.He went back to his villa as if nothing had ever happened.The entire place had been ransacked, so it looked quite messy. Harvey didn’t mind it at all; after sitting down for a moment, he decided to make himself some tea.He had only been in the outskirts for just a fe
Harvey smiled. “Should I be thanking you, then?”“No need. I’m just saying…” Sierra frowned. “It’s a little awkward to steer the conversation this way, isn’t it?”Harvey was beginning to figure out Sierra’s personality. “Maybe you should just tell me why you’re here instead.”Sierra looked at him with a profound gaze.“You see, my grandfather wants to see you no matter what. The others have been desperately trying to figure out a way to make that happen… I came here just to ask you for that.”“Your grandfather? The head of the Wolven Tribe, Preston Klein? Why does he want to see me? Is he planning to cause me trouble?”Harvey had destroyed the Eve Clubhouse, recruited Romina, and dealt with Asher. After all that, it was only natural for someone like Preston to come at him.“Probably not.”Sierra tilted her head to the side.“If that were the case, I wouldn’t be the one here. It’d be all one hundred and eight fighters of the Klein family instead.“I was hoping you’d entertain
Crack!The teapot cracked while tea was still pouring out of it.Nobody expected the elegant teapot used to serve Harvey would suddenly break. Harvey’s fearlessness and casual attitude when sitting down had panicked Preston.Bam!Preston casually threw the handle on the table, then raised his head to look at Harvey with a smile.“As expected from a young and talented man.“Before meeting you, I always thought that the young ones were simply inferior… But after seeing you, I realized that I’ve been wasting my time all these years!”Preston waved his hand.“Come! Bring me my Darwin Chalice!”Sierra and the others froze.The Darwin Chalice was Preston’s most beloved item.According to him, nobody in the outskirts was worthy for him to bring it out. Yet, Harvey had the honor of witnessing the chalice.More importantly, Preston himself asked to bring it out.Harvey was quite well-versed with antiques; he knew the Darwin Chalice was actually unearthed during an ancient dynasty
The eyes of everyone there twitched after hearing Harvey’s words.He was quite an arrogant man, to be speaking like that in front of someone like Preston!‘Isn’t he scared of Preston getting angry?’“You haven’t?” Preston froze, and he looked deeply at Harvey. “So you’re saying that you’re just doing whatever you want recently?”“Not exactly,” Harvey replied calmly. “I’m just doing all this because the circumstances forced me. I don’t know who’s going against me, but I can’t just sit there and take everything either, right?“It’s a shame; the Klein family is pretty lame.“Romina’s talented, but she’s just too greedy. Asher knows when to back down, but he doesn’t know himself well enough.“Your entire family’s been taking action without regard toward anything.“I don’t think that it’s enough that you people ended up like this. If I were to take action, you’d suffer a lot, even if you ended up surviving.”Preston’s pupils shrunk. “Are you saying that this isn’t over? If you wa
“Is that so?”Harvey shrugged.“If you don’t actually have it… Then why put so much effort in this situation? Don’t tell me you’re just doing the Great Wall a simple favor. That’s just an excuse, right?“If not, judging from the Klein family’s intelligence, why would you get involved in the first place?“Do you think I’d believe you if you tell me that Asher’s the only one behind all this?“He knows about Evermore; this means that his status in the family is nothing but powerful. If you don’t have a goal, what’s the point of making such a prominent figure take action?”Harvey casually revealed everything the Klein family had done.Not only did Preston go completely pale, but Sierra was showing mixed expressions as well.“More importantly, you decided to let Sierra come to me at such a sensitive time.”Harvey smiled.“Your family had already figured out my identity the moment I revealed my broken bead.“You decided not to let me go… Instead, you waited for everything to die d
Preston’s face was stern, as if he was thinking over Harvey’s words. After a long time, he stood up.“You’re absolutely right,” he said after sighing.“I couldn’t see the bigger picture this entire time!“In reality, we have condemned ourselves because of our own thoughts. If we keep forcing ourselves to fight for the beads, we’ll end up destroying ourselves.”Harvey chuckled.“You saw through this already, but you were in denial. After all, this has been the family’s dream for the longest time.”There was something Harvey didn’t say. Without outside forces… Judging from the Klein family’s ability in the outskirts, they’d probably have a chance to rule.However… Compared to the top ten families, the five hidden families, the sacred martial arts training grounds, and Evermore, the organization that had been around since ancient times…The Klein family had no chance.They’d either watch from the sidelines and live discreetly…or they’d work with a bigger force for their own benef
The Klein family was filled with shock; even Sierra’s jaw dropped in disbelief.Harvey sighed before opening the box; his eyes brightened as soon as he saw what was inside.It was the Nine-Eyed Bead.“The Nine-Eyed Bead?! The holy item passed down by our ancestors? That old fox actually gave it to you?!”Ten o’clock at night, in the room of a clubhouse. Romina held the Nine-Eyed Bead, her entire body twitching.Dutch found a microscope to look at the bead for a long time before sighing.“It’s real… This is the legendary Nine-Eyed Bead.”Even with his extensive knowledge of the Klein family, Dutch still couldn’t accept that fact.Harvey shrugged.“They wanted my One-Eyed Bead in the first place…but I ended up taking their bead instead.“I kept pushing it away, but Preston still insisted, saying that he didn’t want the family to be ruined by greed…“I had no choice. Besides, I came here for these beads in the first place. After all…”Harvey sighed.He wasn’t in a rush to gra
Harvey nodded. “Are you saying that Mandy’s with the Border Force right now?”“Most likely.” Dutch nodded. “But I couldn’t look into them.”Harvey thought about the situation. “Don’t we have anyone in the Border Force?”Dutch’s eyes turned cold.“One of the four commanders belongs to us…but two months ago, that guy went missing.“I just got word about it, too. I suspect that your wife’s situation is deeply linked with our missing person, Sir York.“The leads might just connect here.”Dutch looked deeply at the Nine-Eyed Bead.Harvey pinched the bead and squinted for a moment before standing up.“Dutch, Romina, use your sources to find out where the other beads are. Since many parties are coming here for the beads… I’d like to see if they can actually provide eternal life.”Harvey kept the bead, then turned around and left..After thinking about the situation for a moment, he called a cab to the Surrey family’s residence.People might not realize that the One-Eyed Bead was a
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
