Stefan showed a horrible expression as he looked at the sight in front of him; his sharp brows were deeply furrowed, as if there was unbridled fury gathered in between them.Naruse showed a playful expression after seeing the look on Stefan’s face.“What? Did my words agitate you?“Are you angry?“Not only did you hit my woman, but you’re planning to hit me as well?“Come! Come! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance!”Naruse leaned in toward Stefan.“Either you kneel right now… Or you slap me in the face already!“Make your choice! It’s way past three seconds!”Harvey showed a cold expression; safe to say, Naruse was extremely conceited.‘What kind of place does he think Country H is?’That said, Harvey wasn’t in a rush to take action; he wanted to see just what Stefan would do then.He hoped Stefan would grow faster through the situation. After all, it’d be better for Stefan to take control of the outskirts since he couldn’t stay here for long.Stefan’s eyes twitched when
Bam!The door was kicked open.Dozens of monks rushed in, with Aryan leading the group.A terrifying aura seeped out of him as he said fiercely, “Which one of your bastards hit the consul? Do you want to die?”The monks were holding repeating crossbows, their expressions cold; they instantly pointed the crossbows at the killers on the second floor, ready to take action at any moment.At the same time, eight monks next to Aryan quickly went to stand in front of Stefan.Their expressions turned horrible when they saw their consul with a swollen face.“Consul! Are you alright?!“Great Wall Vaati already gave the order!“All of the Aenar Temple’s forces can be mobilized!“We’ll be able to take action against anyone who goes against you!”Aryan looked respectfully at Stefan.Naturally, it was already a huge problem that even Vaati was showing his support.No matter the case, Aryan was still a loyal subordinate of the Aenar Temple; he’d naturally take the chance to perform in fr
Milan showed a disdainful glare after seeing Aryan’s look on his face; in her eyes, he seemed like nothing but a stray dog.She rejoiced that the man she loved came from a different country.‘These men from Country H are such filth!’Aryan kept changing his expression before finally looking at Stefan. After seeing Stefan’s cold expression, he quickly took a deep breath before speaking up again.“Ms. Milan, right?“I don’t care what happened here, nor who’s in the wrong!“Someone needs to pay for my consul’s suffering!“Besides…”Bam!Before Aryan was done speaking, Naruse picked up the ashtray from the table and threw it forward.The ashtray smashed right into Aryan’s head, causing him to bleed profusely. He stumbled around after being caught off guard, almost falling to the ground.He was showing a wretched expression.“How dare you do that, you bastard?!” Aryan was furious. “Do you think the Aenar Temple’s an easy target?!”The monks were showing fierce glares after hear
“What? “You won’t do anything now? Is it because of my pure strength?”Naruse tapped Stefan’s face.“You really embarrassed your entire country, didn’t you?”Aryan gritted his teeth.“You bastard! You think you can just scare us off like that?!“You’re just a God of War! The Aenar Temple has that, too!“We’ll make sure we get the explanation we want!”“Explanation?”Naruse sighed, showing a playful gaze.“In the martial arts world, power means everything!”Naruse took another step forward.Bam!A more horrifying aura seeped out, charging at its targets.Stefan, Aryan, and the people behind them all stumbled around before coughing out blood.Nobody could defend themselves against this level of martial arts. Law, background, authority, and reason held no meaning at this very moment.“Since I already did my part, you should just carry out the rest, Young Master.”Naruse tilted his head, glancing at Amos.“This guy has no right to challenge you!“How about this? As long
“You’re right. Times have changed.”Harvey suddenly spoke up in the middle of the crowd. An unspeakable aura quickly seeped out.Compared to Naruse’s cold aura, his was filled with nothing but gentleness—like sunshine. However, the aura was more than enough to completely suppress Naruse.Slap!Before Naruse even came to his senses, he was already slapped in the face.“Aaagh!”Naruse, who had the place under control with his immense strength, was instantly sent flying as his body shivered. He slammed into a wall, leaving massive cracks, before he slowly slid down.Seeing that, everyone looked completely sluggish.Amos froze as well. Even Milan had lost her cool immediately.Nobody thought that someone would turn the tables this quickly.“Who are you?!”Naruse stumbled off the ground, gritting his teeth. He knew just how powerful Harvey was. That was why he was filled with nothing but fear.Not only did Harvey send him flying with a single slap, his aura was immediately seale
“Harvey!”Naruse gritted his teeth with a fierce expression.“No member of the Toyotomi family would ever kneel! You want me to? Over my dead body!”“You want to die so badly?” Harvey nodded. “I’ll help you with that, then.”Harvey casually grabbed a firearm from one of the security guards and took off the safety, then threw it in front of Naruse.“Now, you have three choices.“Either you shoot yourself and show me just how proud you are… Or you kneel and apologize.“Of course, you can try shooting me as well. I suggest you don’t try that, though. You’ll end up horribly if you do.”Harvey smiled faintly as Naruse kept getting agitated by his words.Naruse was already at his wit’s end after his aura was completely sealed… His eyes kept twitching, not knowing what to do at that very moment.After taking a deep breath, he mustered the last bit of his courage to point the firearm at Harvey’s head. Despite that, he didn’t pull the trigger at all.“You chose the worst one after al
After a long while, the light in Naruse’s eyes darkened and he finally calmed down.It was naturally humiliating not having the courage to pull the trigger…but if he did, he wouldn’t have the means to handle the consequences.Harvey had him completely suppressed!“You’re strong! Really strong!” he said after sighing.“I admire you! I admit that I can’t do anything to you, either! I apologize! Not just for what happened today, but also Stefan’s assassination! I’m sorry!”The crowd felt immediately sluggish after hearing Naruse’s words.‘Is he actually giving up…?’“That’s not enough.”Harvey smiled at Naruse. “You should have more sincerity in your apology. There’s simply no weight in your words right now. You get me, don’t you?”Naruse gritted his teeth. “You better know what’s good for yourself, Harvey! It won’t end well for you if you don’t!”Bang!Harvey was playing with another firearm in his hand, then pulled the trigger. The scorching bullet flew right past Naruse’s
The place was extremely awkward.After all, this was Amos’s banquet that Naruse got invited to. Since the guest was already gone… What was the point of the so-called banquet?Clap, clap, clap!When nobody knew how to react to the situation, Amos clapped lightly.“On behalf of the Smalt Sect, I thank you!“Without you, we wouldn’t have known that the Islanders are ruthless enough to assassinate a consul!“I have a conflict with Stefan, but this has nothing to do with them at all.“From now on, you’re a friend of mine!“No matter who takes control over the Smalt Sect in the future, this will never change!”Amos showed a gentle look on his face; it was clear he was trying to go the easy way out. In fact, he was just about to leave after saying those words.“Did I say that you can leave?”Harvey’s calm words were enough to shock the entire crowd.Amos stopped in his tracks, and looked back at Harvey with a deep frown.The crowd was dead silent once again. A lot of people froze
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
