Caspian Lee looked fearless.“The outcome of the battle doesn’t matter!“The current situation means everything!“No matter how impressive you are, do you really think you have the right to go against the Toyotomi family and its resources?“Besides, my master has another terrifying identity!“In any case, you should know what’s good for you!“As long as you do as the papers tell you, I’ll put in a good word for you before my master!“The compensation isn’t a lot! Our projected profit is about six hundred million!“Three times that amount is 1.8 billion in losses!“Since we’re barely considered fellow citizens, I wanted to be a little generous!“As long as you apologize in front of the mainstream media and compensate 1.3 billion dollars, I’ll let you off the hook!Caspian crossed his legs again before sitting more dominantly.“No need to thank me.“I’ll give you a day to prepare for the mainstream media!“I’ll let you have ten days for the compensation!“Consider this my
Harvey York completely ignored Caspian Lee’s outburst when he patted the pieces off his hand and wiped them with a paper towel.“Come! Call the cops!“Not only did these people not go through with their end of the deal, they’re even trying to distort the truth and blackmail us!“It’s a tremendous amount of money as well! This is shocking!“I want the police to give me an explanation for this!”Kali Howell quickly called the police.After what had happened in the Kendo Hall the night before, Dutch and the others had already obtained a lot of evidence.They had no way to convict Caspian and the others for extortion…But making threats and trespassing would surely be enough to get them in trouble.Caspian and the group were not detained altogether but were fined seventy dollars for it.It was not a huge amount, but it was extremely embarrassing.At the same time, this meant that the outskirts’ police would not be biased towards the group of people just because they were foreign
Caspian Lee could not help but cheer at the marvelous sight.“As expected of you to be this impressive, Mr. Naruse!”The figure stood up, completely ignoring Caspian. When someone sent over a bowl of water, he washed his hands and patted them down with a towel before waving.An invincible aura seeped out, instantly turning the curtain to dust.With another light wave, he swiped the dust away before he sat on his couch.He sipped the tea his beautiful servant brought before glancing at Caspian.“You disappoint me, Caspian.”He spoke calmly, revealing he already had information about everything that happened.He looked like a higher being looking down on mere mortals, making people instinctively kneel at the sight.A traitor like Caspian was clearly no different.He immediately slammed his knees to the ground before he started groveling.“I couldn’t finish such a simple task, Mr. Naruse! I’ll bear any punishment!”Naruse Toyotomi played with his cup for a long while.“I gave
“For the Toyotomi family, pride is the most important thing.Naruse Toyotomi’s eyes lit up.“That’s why we won’t let that man off that easily.“I thought there were more important things for us to do in the outskirts.“It wasn’t worth the effort. There was no need to mobilize so many forces for something like this either…“But the family’s being disrespected right now!“It won’t do if we don’t act now!Naruse hit the tree beside him.“That said, it’s proven that the police look up to the kid since they enforced the law.”Caspian smirked.“I think I know what he did, Mr. Naruse.“He was trying to save Quincy.”“Quincy? The Osborne family’s lady?Naruse froze in place.“The woman who almost died after going berserk?”Caspian nodded.“I see. I get it now,” replied Naruse while nodding lightly.“On one hand, Neil wants to repay the favor for his daughter’s rescue. On the other hand, he thinks Harvey’s a skillful man who can be utilized.“That was why he did everything he
While Caspian Lee plotted revenge, Harvey York had already forgotten about the incident.Defeating a few Islanders was nothing to him.At this point, it was completely impossible for Tojo Nomura to get out of the situation unscathed.Of course, Caspian had not done anything to Harvey yet, but he would not mind repaying the favor if it came to that…Even if his hands would be dirtied because of this.He gave Layne Naiswell a call at the same time.The chief instructor came all the way to the outskirts because of Neil Osborne’s invitation. She rushed to Harvey as quickly as she could after getting the call.Behind her was Prince Gibson, who seemed utterly exhilarated, and Justin Walker, looking pale.The two were respectful in Harvey’s presence, but they were also prominent figures.Prince was the current person in charge of Heaven’s Gate, and Justin was the top vice branch leader of Longmen’s Mordu branch.The two could crush anyone in the outskirts with their identities alone
For someone in a position like Neil Osborne, he had already seen many young masters and princes of the top ten families and the five hidden families.He knew a lot of young and talented rich heirs who were fearless too.And yet, it was his first time seeing someone so easygoing as Harvey.If it had not been for him to discover Harvey’s identity, he would still have treated him like an ordinary young man.He naturally recognized Layne Naiswell and the others. He quickly sat down with them for a meal without holding back.Everyone was having a relaxing time at this moment.While they were happily chatting, a row of black Maybachs slowly drove into an alley.The cars were not fast, but an indescribable dominance could be felt. It was clear the people in the vehicles were extraordinary.The adults who planned to visit the Longmen Budokan stumbled out of the place instantly.After all, anyone could tell something big was about to happen.At this very moment, the commotion could be
“If you don’t want that, then get out of here already.“Stop embarrassing yourself.“You’re not welcome here.”Harvey York scrolled through his phone as he casually spoke. A lazy yet indescribable fierce aura could be felt coming from him at that moment.The beautiful women from the rear were cackling with their red lips covered.In their eyes, Harvey was a little too cocky.People who acted this arrogantly would usually end up with a horrible fate after all.‘Can’t this bastard tell?’‘Caspian’s the impressive one here!’‘What does it mean to make a strong comeback?’‘This does!’“Bold words, Harvey.“It’s a shame that you’re finished!Caspian Lee shook his head, looking as if he was the king of the world.“You keep causing me trouble…“You even locked up Mr. Tojo…“Do you even understand the price you’ll have to pay for all this?”“I think you said something similar when you came by previously.“I’m still standing here, though.“If you can even do anything to me, y
“Besides, if someone like Mr. Neil actually supports me…“Do you think you’d have the right to speak here?”Harvey York smiled at Caspian Lee.‘This guy really doesn’t know his limits…Caspian’s face darkened instantly. He knew Harvey was right.“Enough chit-chat, Harvey!Cullen crossed his arms when he walked before Harvey, then sized him up with an indescribable disdain.“You’re not from the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, or the sacred martial arts training grounds!“You simply have no right to speak that way in front of me!”Harvey let out a chuckle.“I thought someone like you wouldn’t be afraid of anything.“That’s a lot of people you’re scared of, huh?”Cullen Hunt trembled in rage.He quickly took a deep breath before speaking again.“Mr. Naruse is an important guest of the Island Nations. The Shinto Way and the Hunt family also have a good relationship!” he exclaimed coldly.“Besides, the Toyotomi family promised us a lot of be
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
