Lupus crossed his arms, looking as if he was actually invincible.After all, he had already thrown out the badge. In his mind, nobody would dare go against the Smalt Sect.The rest of his group were showing smug expressions as well. Everyone was waiting for Harvey to be scared witless and kneel. In a place like the outskirts, the badge itself was a lot more useful than the law!It’s said that there was once a bandit who was so fierce that he didn’t even fear the law, and was constantly challenging the police. The Smalt Sect was asked for assistance; all they did was send a monk over with the sect’s badge, and the bandit knelt.Other than giving up, what other choice did Harvey have?While everyone was waiting for the good show to happen, Harvey calmly put his cup down.“Pick up the badge and show it to me. How should I know if that thing’s real or fake if you don’t?”Lupus chuckled after hearing Harvey’s words, enraged. He sized up Harvey, and laughed again.“You want me to p
Lupus couldn’t hold his anger back any longer. He had seen just how terrifying Harvey was after getting beaten up before.“Do it! Shoot him!”The disciples of the Smalt Sect chuckled coldly, stepping forward with firearms in hand.Bang, bang, bang!Before they could even do anything, Romina had already pulled the trigger. Her shots were very accurate; every single bullet pierced right through the disciples’ wrists.The firearms fall to the ground, and the impact of the bullets was so strong that they sent the disciples flying. It was a wretched sight.Bang!Another loud bang was heard when Lupus couldn’t even react in time; he was slammed into the door after getting hit by a bullet.The bullet pierced through his shoulder blade. A simple movement was enough to make his entire body shiver in pain.Blood came right out of the bullet hole, shocking him so much he didn’t dare move an inch. He knew he’d die of blood loss if he did anything rash in a situation like this.He had no
After a moment, sounds of high heels clacking could be heard from the corridor.They came at a steady pace. However, the rhythm gave off an unspeakable sense of evil. Those with less courage would’ve fallen to the ground and on their knees by now.Miley’s face instantly went deathly pale as soon as she heard the footsteps. Romina’s expression changed as well; she could tell that the person making that sound was clearly extraordinary.Harvey, on the other hand, was casually making some more tea.Soon after, the door was pushed open soon after.Xyla and Emil showed up at the same time. They were both swirling their glass, sipping their wine calmly in the process. The smell of alcohol wafted in the air.Behind them, the disciples of the Smalt Sect and a group of American experts watched on with cold expressions.The air tensed up in an instant. It was the kind of thing that could stop children from crying at night.The people glanced around, then spotted the badge on the ground wi
“Me? Die?”Xyla froze, then narrowed her eyes. Her lips curved into a beautiful smirk.“Interesting. Truly interesting.“I haven’t started threatening you, but you’re already doing just that? It’s my first time seeing an arrogant man like you after being in the world for this long. Heh, heh, heh!“Have you thought about it yet? Do you really think you can handle the consequences for doing such a thing?“I forgot to tell you. I’ve already called a few people just now. The disciples of the Smalt Sect from the urban district are mostly here! There must be hundreds of them, I think.“How do you suppose I’d die at this point? Are you going to kill me with that sharp tongue of yours?”Xyla sized up Harvey with a profound gaze. She was convinced that people who dared to go against her this way would undoubtedly die.The disciples behind her smirked coldly too. ‘The Smalt Sect has been pretending to be innocent and sweet for so many years, but someone actually thinks we’re completely
“What? You’re not planning to refuse, are you?”Xyla squinted at Miley, the smile on her face becoming colder and colder.“You should know what’ll happen to the Surrey family if you do refuse.”Xyla was sure Miley would know her place as soon as she pointed that out.Harvey chuckled, and poured himself another cup of tea.“I’m sorry. Not just the Surrey family…“The Wolven Tribe and the four great tribes are working under me right now. You want to lay your hands on the Surrey family? I’m afraid you’ll have to go through me first.”“They’re working under you?”Xyla showed a look of understanding.“You’re Harvey York. The man who won the competition in the oasis… The expert from America, Salem, lost against you too. Am I right?”Xyla didn’t mention anything about Stinger at all; she only said all that just for Emil to hear. As expected, Emil’s expression changed slightly when he was initially ready to watch the show. He sized up Harvey with a horrible expression before finall
Xyla chuckled after hearing Emil’s words.“Give up, Harvey. You can’t protect Miley. She has nothing to do with you, no matter how we look at it.“This is the sect’s business! If you’re still going to get involved, then don’t blame us if you actually die for it!”Harvey sighed. “So after the Smalt Sect starts working together with Evermore… You people think you’re very impressive, huh?“Well, I have a question… Emil’s clearly from America. His father’s not actually Roue of the Twelve Earthly Branches, right?”“You know Roue?” Emil frowned, then looked at Harvey fiercely. “Looks like you’re no ordinary man either, kid…but it’s a shame, you forgot something.”Harvey smiled. “And what’s that?”“People who know too much die quicker.”Emil licked his lips.“I only wanted to cripple you at first. Since you know I’m from Evermore and who Roue actually is… I have no choice but to kill you now!”The Americans behind Emil slowly stepped forward.Harvey was confused. “You actually
Everyone instinctively looked at Emil.‘He can’t get it up with a single blue pill? He’s not taking drugs anymore! He’s playing with his life!’Xyla showed an odd gaze; she tried to control herself, but she couldn’t help but smirk.‘If that’s the case, then he should just cut it off at this point!’Emil glared at Harvey, confused, ignoring everyone else’s gaze. Harvey’s deductions were spot on.He took a deep breath before finally speaking up. “How did you know?”Harvey was just an ant he could crush easily…but now, his value was priceless.Harvey said he had no medical skill…but seeing through Emil’s sickness was enough to prove his strength.“I can see it with my own eyes. This only happened because you went berserk; you wanted to increase your strength by skipping steps.“The martial art you trained in must be suitable for people with a colder temperature. That’s why you’ve been suffering a cold for a long time. “I don’t know what genius told you to deal with the problem
“Enough!” Emil said to Xyla, and her expression changed. He then stepped in front of Harvey.“I was ignorant, Sir York. Please forgive me!“As long as you’re willing to help me… You can ask for anything you want! I guarantee nobody will come for you for what happened today!”Emil was filled with hope as he subtly threatened Harvey.Harvey smiled, and sipped his tea.“You wanted me dead and buried in the desert… And now, you want me to save you? Are you joking with me, Emil? What’s with the attitude? Is this how you ask for help?”Emil’s expression changed, and he gritted his teeth. “What would you like me to do, then?”Harvey pointed at Xyla. “I don’t like her. Kill her. A life for a life.”“How dare you?!” Xyla screamed. She gritted her teeth.“You want me dead? Do you think Young Master Emil would believe you just because you said so? This is a greedy bastard, Young Master Emil! You know this!“He can’t save you! That’s why he wants you to go against me! He wants to see c
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
