Harvey York disdainfully stepped back, but Cullen Hunt and the others saw it as him being afraid.At this very moment, even Caspian Lee was showing a disdainful gaze.Harvey glared back at Cullen after he stood still.“No matter how good you string your words together, you’re still just taking advantage of people!”“You’re wrong! Mr. Cullen only uses reason!“If you’re upset, he’ll ensure you are!”Caspian stepped up with an arrogant look.“You have Neil behind your back, but we have Mr. Cullen too!“Not only are we here to deal with you, we’re also here to trample you under our feet!“What? Are you upset?“If that’s the case, then get someone more impressive than Mr. Cullen!“It’s not that I’m looking down on you!“That said, people like you are destined to be powerless!“Right! You like beating up people, right? You also like slapping people around, don’t you?!“Come on! I’ll put my face in front of you! Let’s see if you even dare to lay a finger on me!”Caspian proudl
Caspian Lee was the one slapped.But he also got hit in front of Cullen Hunt.This meant utter disrespect towards him!The Hunt family was treated like decorations!“You bastard!A cold aura exuded from Cullen.“Are you treating me like I’m invincible or what?!”The fierce men pulled out their firearms as the atmosphere around them immediately turned colder. They quickly spread out, prepared to fight to the bitter end.Harvey York disdainfully wiped his fingers with some tissue.“Everyone here heard it.“Caspian wanted me to do it.“I’m a generous man.“Since he’s been begging me, I’d let him down if I refused.“Right. No need to thank me.“It’s only natural for a kind man like me to give without hoping anything in return.”Harvey squinted at Caspian when he was completely boiling with anger.He had never seen such an arrogant man in his entire life.“Fine! Have it your way!Cullen pointed at Harvey with his cigar.“Nobody has ever dared to ignore me in front of so m
It was clear that Cullen Hunt had already anticipated Neil Osborne’s arrival.He had simulated everything that was supposed to be played out countless times in his head, even before coming here.His words hit Neil straight to his weak spot.“I’ve done everything for fairness and justice,” replied Neil with a cold glare.“Do you think something like reputation works on me?“Surely you don’t believe I’ll be scared off with just a few words now, do you?”Cullen cracked a smile.“You just don’t know what’s good for yourself, do you?“I was planning to show you some respect since we’re both from the five hidden families.“But since you’re being like this, then don’t blame me for being frank.“You only got to your reputation because of your family’s support.“You’d be just a useless pawn once you throw that away!“Who knows what’ll happen after that?“Even if you don’t care about all those things, at least think for your wife and daughter!“You wouldn’t want your daughter to be
When Neil Osborne was just about to lash out, he suddenly felt a hand placed on his shoulder.“Go have your meal, Mr. Neil.“This was my problem to begin with.“I can deal with this. You don’t need to worry.”Harvey York stepped forward before smiling faintly at Neil.“Evil people will always be done by the same people.“You’re a good man. You’re not experienced enough to deal with shameless people like him.“But I’m different!“I know exactly what to do!”Harvey pushed Neil into the Budokan while showing a weird expression.Justin Walker stood up before dragging Neil by the hand.“There’s no need to stand up for Sir York, Neil.“He deals with people like this all the time.“He’d crush every single one of them the same way.“You should just sit back and watch the show.”Prince Gibson smiled.“You may not know about Sir York’s abilities, but we know him all too well!“Just relax.”Layne Naiswell lightly nodded without saying a word, quietly acknowledging Justin and Pri
Harvey York calmly glanced at Cullen Hunt standing before him.“I did arrive here.“That said, I met someone named Cullen.“He said he came from the Hunt family.“He boasted about his family being impressive because of its two Gods of War.“Let me ask you something, Ethan Hunt.“Is your family really that impressive?“Even if that were the case…“Are you people planning to stand for the Islanders as well?“Should I be disappointed in you or what?”Harvey spoke sternly.He would not be as upset if Cullen flaunted his strength through different means…But Ethan and Travis Hunt were the ones who gave him courage.Even he was siding with the Islanders, no less.Harvey’s words were as cold as night at this moment.“I remember someone named that in the outskirts.“He’s a relative of the family.“He’s in charge of the Hunt family’s business in the Desert Province, and he’s considered the spokesperson of the family’s interests.“Then again, we never permitted him to take adva
“Don’t you dare spout more nonsense, you bastard!”An internet-famous woman could not hold her feelings back.“Mr. Cullen belongs to the Hunt family!“Everyone in the Desert Province has no choice but to pay him respect, no matter their side!“Even us Islanders would have to do the same!“And yet, you’re here demanding him to kneel?!“Are you insane?!”The woman was well-known for her adult films.After going viral, she was chosen by the Shinto Way to become one of the members of the visiting group.She had been serving Cullen Hunt willingly despite having to wait an hour for his drugs to kick in every time.But in just an hour, Cullen demonstrated not only his vast knowledge but also his domineering attitude.A prominent figure like him surely would not be taken advantage of by some random nobody.“Is that so? You’re that impressive?”Harvey ignored the woman when he smiled faintly at Cullen.“Why don’t you tell the lady how long you can stay this way, Mr. Cullen?”“Shu
Caspian Lee instinctively shivered after sensing Cullen Hunt’s vengeful gaze.Sensing other people’s gazes was his forte for a traitorous man like him.Naturally, he knew he would be dragged into the grave if Cullen kneeled.He had no choice but to take a step forward for his own life.“About what happened today, no, everything yesterday was also our fault!“We were ignorant! We went up against you by accident!“We know our mistakes now!“Not only will we not ask for any compensation, but we’ll also grovel in front of you as an apology! I’m willing to pay a huge sum of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, too!“Please! Let us go! Pretend all this never happened!“Even this is for Mr. Naruse’s sake!”“A hundred and fifty thousand?Harvey curiously looked at Caspian.“What? Are you trying to chase me away with that amount?“Or are you saying I wouldn’t dare kill you right now because of your benefactor?“Let me tell you something. Your yapping will only get you one thing.
On the next day, after the subjugation of Cullen Hunt and the others.Naruse Toyotomi came to the courtyard as usual.He sat on a dry stone with his sword lying on his lap.After a while, he lightly waved his hand on the sword when a fierce aura dissipated from his body.The temperature of the place slowly rose after that.Naruse’s strength was perfectly demonstrated through his simple training.When he went to the porch for breakfast, a beautiful suited secretary quickly approached him.The secretary held a laptop when she respectfully bowed before him.“This is bad, Mr. Naruse,” she whispered in Naruse’s ear.Naruse had a taste of his meal before he spoke.“Talk.”“Something happened last night.“Caspian brought a group of people to pay Harvey a visit, but they all came back defeated.“I don’t know what had happened…“But Cullen switched sides.“He used his power to force Tojo into apologizing in the Island Nations’ newspaper headlines. He also announced that he was in
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
