“What should we do, then…?” Romina said, hesitant.“Nothing. Don’t try to erase the leads, and don’t let anyone find out that we already figured out the situation, either.”Harvey squinted outside the window.“Since we’ve found all this out easily, Neil and Yasmin would be able to do the same once they calm down. If we tell them about this now, they’ll think we hid the truth. After all, that man…”Harvey chuckled.Romina looked at him oddly; Harvey had already figured out Neil’s entire personality… And yet, that man was still trying to fight back.What a joke!“Right, how’s Quincy right now?” Romina asked. “She’s fine. I planned to help for Yasmin’s sake…but Neil wouldn’t let me. He cares too much about his reputation.“He got Prince and the others to help. I know those three; they wouldn’t be able to save Quincy, but it wouldn’t be hard for them to keep her alive.“If Neil begs for me to help, I’ll consider. But if he’s still going to be stubborn, then there’s no one to bla
Yasmin took a deep breath.“Everyone did their best yesterday.“Prince even brought Heaven’s Gate’s secret medicine to protect Quincy’s heart. Even then, they couldn’t deal with her cluttered energy in the end.“Quincy’s holding onto life for a little longer, but the problem’s still there.“I already told Neil to invite you in person…but he’s too proud to do that. He knows you’re his only hope of saving Quincy, too…”Harvey sighed.“Sometimes, one’s life depends on the thoughts of another. I’ll say again: I’m probably the only person who can save Quincy. You can let me know if I’m needed. I respect you, after all.”Harvey comforted Yasmin before changing the subject.“Right, Mrs. Yasmin. You didn’t call me just for this, did you?”Harvey understood Yasmin pretty well. There must’ve been urgent business; it was probably related to Longmen as well.If not, she wouldn’t have called in the first place. Quincy’s predicament was just small talk.“As expected of you to see through
This was the first time Longmen had ever encountered something like this.Harvey could tell this was the Smalt Sect’s doing. At the same time, he was almost sure that Amos started this.After all, things could be fabricated both ways.Those who’d do something like this would always prefer to make it seem like they didn’t.On the one hand, Amos could complete his goal flawlessly. On the other hand, he could use the opportunity to shift the blame to Stefan.Judging from this, Neil should be able to figure out the truth behind his daughter’s injuries.If not, Amos wouldn’t have taken action so quickly.Harvey ignored the commotion in front of him, and went to the side of the building according to Yasmin’s instructions.After making a call for a moment, Harvey saw Ernie sneaking out through a door crack. He started to panic, as if he was guilty of something, but immediately let out a sigh of relief after seeing Harvey’s face.“Sir York! Why are you here?” he asked instinctively.
“You’re the top vice branch leader of the outskirts’ branch, Wesson,” Kali said, glaring coldly at the man before her.“But don’t forget—you came from headquarters. Your strength and reputation are mediocre. You want to take a higher position? Keep dreaming!“Let me tell you something! I will never agree to your conditions! Are you going to leave yourself? Or do you want me to throw you out of here instead?”The man smiled, and crossed his legs.“Why say those hurtful words, Kali?“Since you know I came from headquarters, you should know I have a lot of connections and power.“Your father’s just a cripple at this point. Do you want him to stay as a branch leader? That’s not a good look now, is it?“After all, Longmen is one of the four cornerstones of the country. We can’t avoid getting into conflict. If a cripple’s going to lead thousands of disciples, I’ll be worried!“Besides, we don’t even know what’s going to happen to Mr. Neil’s daughter. Who’s going to take responsibilit
“I’m only showing you respect because of your father’s accomplishments!“If it were anyone else, I would’ve razed their entire family to the ground before turning the beautiful women into my playthings!“You think you’re impressive just because I’m giving you my respect? How ignorant can you get?!”Wesson slammed the table furiously.“I’ll give you ten minutes to do everything I tell you to! If not, I’ll make sure your whole family dies!”Wesson looked as if he had Kali under his control.“I’ll give you ten minutes too, then. Kneel, break your arm, then deal with whatever’s going on outside as an apology.”Before Kali could say anything, Harvey came in through the door.“If not, you and the people supporting you will pay a huge price.”‘Harvey?!’Kali froze; then, a hint of joy crossed her face. She knew just how impressive Harvey was; she was certain the Howell family would be saved.This was about Longmen. No matter how strong Harvey was, he wouldn’t dare get involved with
Who was Wesson?In Longmen, he was an extremely authoritative figure. His uncle was none other than Bryce Kennedy, the vice master of Longmen.After coming to the outskirts, his status rose to even greater heights. Both the higher-ups and disciples of the branch had no choice but to show him respect.This was why he managed to become the top vice branch leader of the outskirts’ branch at such a young age.His intention to become the branch leader was just to add on to his resume, so he’d get a position as a higher-up in headquarters in the future.Despite that, Harvey still went against someone like him.The people behind Wesson chuckled in disbelief.Harvey ignored them, and checked his watch again. “There goes another two minutes.”“What a show-off!” Wesson snarled, glaring disdainfully at Harvey.“Who do you think you are? I’m talking to a beautiful woman here! You have no right to speak up right now!“If I want to, you’d die in a car crash as soon as you walk out the fron
Harvey looked calmly at his watch before dialing a number on his phone.“There’s someone called Wesson in Longmen, right? He committed multiple crimes, disobeyed his superiors, and took advantage of the people. Deal with it.”Then, Harvey hung up.He had called Rachel. Even though she wasn’t with him, she was still in charge of the Longmen Law Enforcement Hall. A task like this wasn’t difficult for her at all.After all, the law enforcement hall had a high status in the Inner and Outer Eight Halls, and the thirty-six branches. As long as they abided by the rules, even the Elder Group wouldn’t dare question them.They started looking into Wesson soon after.To Wesson, Harvey was just trying to show off in front of him. He had an immense reputation and identity within Longmen; there was no way he’d be scared of someone like Harvey.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey as if he was a clown. They thought Harvey’s acting was a little too much.‘Who is Wesson?‘Forget the fact
After a few phone calls, Wesson showed a horrible expression.‘It’s real! The law enforcement hall has actually issued a warrant to capture me!‘They said Rachel was behind this too! The law enforcement squad has no choice but to obey!‘Three minutes to hand over my duties is already respect enough… I’ll be finished if I’m not careful!’A beautiful woman who kept looking down on Harvey quickly changed her expression, and hurriedly went to Wesson’s side.“What do we do now, Young Master Wesson? This kid probably has connections with the law enforcement hall!” she said nervously. “So what? The law enforcement hall’s at the top of the Eight Inner and Outer Halls, but that doesn’t matter. There’s no point for you people to be scared!“Let me tell you something! Even if I give up right now, the law enforcement squad wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me!”Wesson scoffed coldly at the beautiful woman before sizing up Harvey and Kali.“You have your tricks…but it’s useless! Your people 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
