Harvey wasn’t fazed by Salem and Conrad’s denial at all.On one hand, he wanted to see the standards of America’s genetic enhancements. On the other hand, he didn’t mind wiping the floor with the two’s pride.Kyren frowned; he was impressed by Harvey’s performance, but he didn’t think Conrad and Salem’s words would bait him into fighting again.He couldn’t help but look down on Harvey ever so slightly.Harvey was a skillful man, but he was just an easily controlled young man.A bold thought came to Kyren’s mind when he looked at Harvey; something else was mixed in his shock as he looked into Harvey’s eye.Baylee wanted to say something when looking at Harvey, but she ended up keeping quiet.“These people are shameless! You’ve already won! There’s no need for you to fight them anymore!” Ernie yelled.However, Conrad truly thought that Salem only lost because of an accident. He took a deep breath before speaking up again.“No need to hold back, Salem! Give it your all!”Salem n
Kyren, who still had other thoughts in his mind, couldn’t stop his eyes and mouth from twitching.He suddenly understood. It wasn’t that Harvey was arrogant; Salem was just incomparable to him, no matter what!A cold shiver ran down Salem’s spine.‘How? How is that even possible?! Salem did everything he could! He even struck first! And yet, he lost so easily! That’s just…’“Oh! I’m sorry! I snuck up on you again!” Harvey seemed a little embarrassed. “Come on! Let’s redo the fight. It doesn’t count!”The people were completely shocked. They had never seen someone fight this way before.After all, those words meant completely different things since they came out of Harvey’s mouth!It wasn’t that Harvey wanted to rob Salem of any chance of coming back… He was just going easy on Salem!Conrad felt nothing but resentment towards an unreasonable man like Harvey.“Everyone! You all saw me sneaking up on Salem just now. For fairness’ sake, I’ve decided to fight him again.“After all
“You’ve sacrificed too much for Master Henrik’s sake, Salem!” Conrad said, excited.At the same time, he turned to Harvey and dragged his thumb across his neck, convinced Harvey was dead for sure.“Come on, then,” Harvey said calmly.Salem moved his body, and instantly appeared in front of Harvey with ease.It was the calmness of his movements that was extremely terrifying. In everyone’s eyes, Salem’s body didn’t seem like it existed at all.He threw a punch right at Harvey; the attack immediately shook the world. He waved his other hand, and a firearm slid out. At the same time, he pulled the trigger.It was hard to believe that an expert like Salem would be this shameless. It was already bad enough that he needed drugs to get to this state, but he even pulled the trigger in a battle of life and death.Everyone felt a cold shiver run down their spine after seeing this, and thought Harvey was destined to suffer a horrible death.Baylee sprang out of her chair. “Look out!”“Mas
After glancing at Salem paralyzed on the ground, Harvey crossed his arms and glanced around him.“Does anyone else want to go against me?”Everyone looked at each other; other than shock, only an unspeakable sense of fear could be seen in their eyes. Nobody would dare stand out.Billie’s heart pounded rapidly; she had already admired Harvey, but she didn’t think that his achievements would be way beyond her wildest imagination.Whitley’s jaw dropped; she started to regret not instantly kneeling in front of Harvey as soon as they met.Conrad’s body went limp; his heart was filled with nothing but despair and resentment.‘He’s dead! Salem’s dead—just like that! He even used everything he could! Even if Henrik actually came, who knows if Harvey can be taken down?’Samir’s expression was one mixed with regret and admiration; he finally understood why Lennon respected Harvey so much.Ernie raised his chest, a prideful look on his face. The Surrey family was extremely proud as well
The place was dead silent.The prominent figures around didn’t want to admit it, but Harvey had won the entire competition. From then onward, he’d have total control over the outskirts!Kyren let out a long sigh before stumbling off his seat.“You have my respect for what you did today, Master York! From now on, I won’t stop you from getting close to my daughter!”Harvey smiled faintly. “Judith and I are just classmates. Don’t think too much about it. For her sake, I’ll let you off the hook as long as you give me an explanation that I’m happy with.”Kyren instinctively shivered; he locked eyes with Harvey with a profound gaze, while his mouth twitched.“From now on, my troops and I will leave Country H. We will not be involved with anything in the outskirts, either.”“Not enough,” Harvey said. Kyren gritted his teeth. “I will order the Siberian Border Force not to cause conflict with Country H.”“Not enough.”Kyren looked at Harvey for a long time, before letting out a huge
“Please, Uncle Harlan.”Harvey poured a cup of tea, and signaled Harlan to sit in front of him.Harlan’s eyes twitched for a long time. He slowly sat down, then mustered his courage to finish his drink. He looked at Harvey deeply, hesitating to even speak up.Harvey glanced at Harlan for a moment. “Just ask anything you want, Uncle Harlan. I’ll tell you everything you want.”Harlan took a deep breath.“Who are you?” he asked hoarsely. “What happened to my nephew?”Harvey knew that after what happened, there was no way to hide from an experienced man like Harlan anymore.“Good eye,” Harvey said, smiling. “When did you start suspecting me?”Harlan chuckled bitterly. “I don’t know. I felt that there was something wrong already… But after everything that happened today, I know that you’re not him.”Harvey nodded.“I’m not the man with an arranged marriage with your daughter.“I have the same name, but we’re different people.“I have some business in the outskirts, and the ident
Harlan gritted his teeth. “I want nothing else but justice!”“Right.”Harvey nodded.“Since I’m already using your nephew’s identity, I naturally have to take responsibility for everything that comes with it.“If you want justice… I’ll give it.“Go back to the outskirts for now. I’ll handle the situation after I deal with matters here.”Harlan repeatedly thanked Harvey before dragging Whitley and Billie out of the place.-The next day, after dealing with the matters about the competition and restricting forces in the outskirts from getting involved with the Nine Eyed Beads, Harvey returned to the outskirts.Aside from preventing things from getting more complicated, he could sense someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.However, he could only deal with the problem after seeing the entire truth.Harvey wasn’t in a rush to go back to the No. 1 villa. He told Ernie to prepare a room for him in the Gangnam Outskirts.Romina and Ernie needed to take action for what was a
Harvey and the others went inside the room.Ernie waved his hand, and specialty dishes were all sent there.A huge box of 1982 Riesling was ordered as well. Ernie was ready for everyone to get wasted as a celebration for Harvey. After all, the best thing he ever did in his life was to cling to Harvey.After three rounds of liquor, Romina’s subordinate entered the room with some documents in hand.Seeing that, Aria locked eyes with Ernie, and the two left the room. They knew that they weren’t considered close to Harvey yet. Romina, on the other hand, was Harvey’s subordinate in the outskirts.“I found some things that you asked me to, but it’s not much.”Romina flipped through the pages, then put the documents in front of Harvey.“Someone intentionally made the situation a mess because of the Nine Eyed Beads. According to our trail, the one who did all this from Evermore’s Twelve Earthly Branches, Roue.”Harvey nodded. “Can you be more specific?”“You should know there are th
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
"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
