“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
Not just Wesson, even the people behind him froze.Kali’s jaw dropped when she saw everything happen; she was filled with disbelief.Even though Wesson was quite arrogant because of his position, he was at least a smart man. He understood soon enough.This was probably Harvey’s doing.Kali boasted about Harvey’s identity just before, and there was Bryce’s attitude… All of this was enough to show just how terrifying Harvey actually was.Wesson’s eyes twitched for a moment. He had no choice but to give up.“I’m sorry, brother! I was ignorant! Please! Be the better person and let me go!“To show you my apology… Not only will I remove myself from the position, but I’ll also deal with everything that’s been going on outside.“I’m only asking you to let me go. Let’s show each other some respect! We’ll bury the hatchet here! How does that sound?”Wesson believed that he was already sincere enough to be this humble.His actions instantly made the beautiful women freeze.They didn’t
Despite that, it was nothing but Wesson’s impulsive thoughts.He knew the law enforcement squad outside would never give him any respect if he decided to fight. As a member of Longmen, he knew just how the law enforcement squad did things.If his own uncle wouldn’t dare protect him, every single crime he committed would be dug up one by one.The law enforcement hall would deal with every single crime accordingly; he’d suffer a horrible death if that actually happened.Of course, there was something important: Bryce being scared off that easily was proof of Harvey’s powerful authority.Wesson wouldn’t be able to go against someone like that, even if he tried for the rest of his life.Without a second thought, he took a deep breath and slowly stood up, forcing himself to bend his knees.Even so, the last bit of his pride wouldn’t allow him to do such a thing.“Kneel, or get out of here already. I don’t have time to play with you,” Harvey said.Kali wanted to say something after
When Wesson and the others fled, Harvey casually sat in front of Kali.Ernie froze for a moment, before waving his hand for someone to send over some tea.“Thank you for helping me again, Sir York.”Kali seemed anxious and embarrassed when looking at Harvey.“Wesson’s a tough one to deal with. You’re powerful, but… This might cause you more trouble.”Harvey shook his head, smiling.“It’s nothing. I can deal with him however many times I want to. If he’s smart, he’ll know not to go against you or me from now on.”Kali didn’t know what to say after hearing Harvey’s determined words.Naturally, she could tell that Harvey had an impressive identity. But she was a smart woman; she wouldn’t speak up about it if Harvey didn’t want to.After casually having some tea while chatting with each other, Harvey encouraged Kali to deal with the situation here before leaving the place.He didn’t express any opinion when Kali gave thoughts about strengthening Longmen’s outskirts branch. After
The monk standing at the very front sized up Harvey for a moment.“Is it really that hard?” he said coldly. “They’ll go around as soon as they hear some excuse about the road under construction or something. There’s more than one road here, anyway.”“I see.”Harvey nodded.“So the driver’s also a part of your crew, huh? You must be waiting for me for a while. Who do you belong to? Amos? Stefan?”“Don’t you understand your situation right now, kid?” the monk said grimly.“You’re being surrounded right now! We’re the ones asking questions here!“Let me ask you something! Did you force Stinger to kneel as an apology? Did you cause Young Master Emil to be in a coma? Did you get Ms. Xyla locked behind bars?”The monk appeared very domineering at that very moment. The aura he exuded seemed that it could suppress Harvey.“So you’re all Amos’s men.”Harvey chuckled.“Didn’t your young master tell you not to go against me? Or do you think that I’ve been ruining your business again re
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
