Chester Sanders acted as if he heard nothing. He continued to look at Harvey, desperately waiting for Harvey to speak. If Harvey wasn’t planning to speak at all, Chester wouldn’t even dare breathe.“Oh, I’m fine. It’s just that my shirt got stained. I bought it from a roadside stall for two dollars, and I kind of like it.” Harvey said, unperturbed, acting as if the whole situation was something extremely trivial.Chester’s eyes instantly fell on Harvey’s shirt. He noticed the large wet stain on it, with some tea leaves stuck.Immediately, Chester fumed. He straightened up, his dominant air returning. He glared across the room and bellowed angrily, “Who did this? What kind of person would pour a drink all over someone?!”His subordinates, who knew nothing about what happened, yelled along. “Who did this?!”Subconsciously, everyone’s gazes automatically moved toward the tiny social media influencer.The influencer held her head down, her body trembling in fear.Before commoners a
Harvey sized Chester Sanders briefly. Then, he nodded and said, “Seeing that you know who I am, take your men and leave. Don’t let me ever see them again.”A look of great relief immediately bloomed across Chester’s face. He quickly replied, “Of course! Of course!”With a simple hand gesture from him, his subordinates grabbed Colin Sanders and the influencer girl. In an instant, all of them were gone.…The schoolmates present took in the unbelievable scene, feeling as though they were stuck in a strange dream. They couldn’t understand how Harvey was able to do all that.He actually terrified Chester Sanders!Gary Jones shook his head profusely in disbelief. “This is impossible, a mere live-in son-in-law, how could this be happening…”Then, he hid himself in a corner to make a private call.After around five minutes, Gary reappeared and stared at Harvey. Fear and disdain lingered in his gaze.Almost instantly, a new rumour got out to everyone in the room.The Zimmer family wh
In the Silva’s mansion.Leon Silva was playing with his ring by himself. Only when he put the ring down did a servant come up to him respectfully. “Prince, the person we sent out has come back.”“Let him come in,” Prince Silva said, interested.Not long after, Gary Jones entered respectfully and kneeled on the ground without any hesitation. He spoke with his face almost sticking to the ground, “Hail Prince Silva.”“How’s everything?” Leon asked.Gary replied, “I have carried out everything according to your orders, my prince. I’ve met the Zimmers’ live-in son-in-law.”“He’s too full of himself for his own sake, but in my opinion… ”“What?” Leon asked again.“In my opinion, this live-in son-in-law is not someone with any exceptional ability. The only thing he did right was marrying a good wife and knowing how to build connections.”“Oh?” Leon chuckled. “Then do you think it's possible that he’s the legendary Prince York?”“Him?” Gary cackled. “My prince, I was his school mate
Meanwhile, in the Silver Nimbus Courtyard behind the foot of Silver Nimbus Mountain.Quinton York sat in his Arhat chair with his eyes closed, thinking.A man stood a few distances away from Quinton, his head hung low, too terrified to utter a word.If the people from Harvey York’s schoolmate’s gathering were here, they would’ve recognized that this man was none other than Chester Sanders.Chester, who acted like a loyal dog who had lost its home in front of Harvey, now appeared more calmed and composed.Quinton finally opened his eyes and spoke, his mind filled with various thoughts. “Tell me everything from the beginning to the end three times again…” Chester had repeated the incident thrice just now, but he didn’t dare to refuse at all. He carefully recalled the events that had happened and recited everything all over again.Quinton listened in silence. After a while, a smile graced his lips. “From what you’ve seen, how is my dear older brother compared to three years ago?”
“Okay, I got it.”He ended the call.Harvey went to his office at Sky Corporation the first thing after that, and asked Yvonne Xavier to investigate the matter.Yvonne knew William Bell as well, so she was very taken when she heard that he died. She proceeded to make the arrangements instantly.After approximately half an hour, she re-entered Harvey’s office, looking pale.“Have you checked it?” Harvey asked her in a low voice.“Yes, I did.” Yvonne replied softly. “Three years ago, three days after you were forced to leave Buckwood, William was thrown into Pearl River.”“Was it Quinton York?” Harvey asked coldly.“It wasn’t Quinton.” Yvonne answered. “It was the Silvas.” “To show their stand, the Silvas voluntarily made a move against William.”“The Silvas.” Harvey crushed the cup in his hands.“Sir, please don’t act too rashly. The Silvas aren’t like before, especially Leon Silva.”“The Silvas today are one of the top families in South Light. Going against them won’t be e
Harvey York furrowed his eyebrows. “That’s not right. I remember that William’s parents worked under an international corporation and lived in a welfare housing unit. How could they be living in a village, or all places?”Yvonne Xavier hesitated to speak. “It’s probably the Silvas’ doing. The corporation didn’t dare to go against them, so they took the house back. I heard that his parents’ pension even got terminated!”“The two elders had no choice but to move to a village. It’s rumoured that they’ve been picking up trash for a living.”Harvey’s face grew even darker.The Silvas were too much!If it wasn’t for the fact that the two elders wouldn’t have any strength for revenge, the Silvas would’ve had them killed as well.In this regard, the Silvas were far more abhorrent than Quinton!The Silvas must die!“Let’s go and see how they’re doing. William’s parents are my parents too. We’ll see who else dared to touch them.”Harvey spoke slowly, but his tone was downright intimidat
The leader instantly turned around, only to meet Harvey York’s ice-cold expression.“Who the f*ck are you?” He roared. “You dared to stop me? Do you want to die?” Crack!Harvey effortlessly exerted some pressure in his grip, and the gangster’s arm was broken immediately.He followed through with a hard kick that sent the gangster flying a few yards away. The gangster collapsed to the ground. He struggled to get up, but to no avail. He could only yell out in pain.The other gangsters rushed furiously toward Harvey, but he kicked them all away almost instantly.They all scurried away, yelping in pain. The leader bellowed at Shawn, “Old man! You actually called someone up? You just wait! You’ll be dead today!”“Brother Leroy will be here later! Wait till you get buried with that shitty son of yours!”They left soon after. The old couple closed their eyes in exasperation, looking hopeless.In these three years, they lived their worst life and had suffered terribly. One could
“It’s okay. At most, we’ll just get beaten up a little.”“Plus, we’re already old and frail. Our lives don’t have as much worth as yours!”“It’s alright even if we die!”“You have to stay alive and well, so that you can avenge our dear William!”“He was murdered by someone for sure!”Shawn Bell exclaimed, tear-stricken.William Bell’s unjustified death was obviously the old couple’s hardest pain.Harvey sighed and reassured them, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. No one can hurt you if I’m here.”“I’ll settle William’s matter as well. You’ll definitely get an explanation over what happened to him.”“No! You don’t know how scary Brother Leroy is. He can kill someone!”It was evident that this so-called Brother Leroy had succeeded in implanting great fear in everyone’s heart.When Shawn brought up his name, he couldn’t help but tremble slightly.His fear had already become a biological reaction.It only showed how powerful Leroy was, and how much he had terrorized the old couple
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
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
