“Change your ways!”“Turn back!”Thirty-six monks with different colored robes appeared all over the hall.Those people were guards of the nine high monks with terrifying combat strength. They quickly surrounded the people of the Smalt Sect without warning.The people watching stumbled back with terrified looks.They were followers of the Smalt Sect, but they were not idiots either.Anyone could tell that Amos Augustus was prepared to fight to the death.“Move!”Serval furiously roared at the people before him.Six monks were sent tumbling on the ground after being hit by the sound wave.Serval immediately activated his Iron Skin before charging into the crowd.The monks flew, one after another.Nobody expected Serval to be this strong.Using the opportunity, the people of the Smalt Sect quickly left with Amos. The people of Aenar Temple returned to their senses immediately after that.They quickly swarmed forward, facing against the Smalt Sect with the rest of the high m
“Silence people?Amos Augustus gave a cold chuckle.“There wouldn’t be any trouble as long as nothing here gets spread out!”Harvey York casually waved his phone.“You might’ve forgotten something. Times have changed.“This is the age of media. As long as someone uploads everything online, there’d be no point even if you kill everyone here.“Besides, since Stefan’s reliable, I wouldn’t even need to lift a finger.”Stefan Augustus stumbled, almost falling to the ground after hearing those words. He meant to remain discreet at first…The situation gave him strange thoughts, and Harvey’s words immediately made his situation extremely awkward.He would turn into the outskirts’ biggest joke if he remained in hiding.Without a second thought, Stefan quickly stood out.“I knew you’d do this in the first place, Amos!” he coldly exclaimed.“Don’t worry! If someone here gets hurt, I’ll ensure everything’s uploaded to the media!“You people are absolutely shameless…“But there are m
Kroom!A resounding roar came from the clouds when the entire place was devoid of color.The strength of Serval’s punch was beyond imagination.Even Hollywood movies would rarely use special effects like this.Many people were so shocked that they did not even have time to scream.The wealthy ladies instinctively covered their eyes after seeing such a terrifying sight.They were already imagining Harvey York’s head exploding like a watermelon.Then again, against such a powerful attack, Harvey only grabbed Serval’s fist with a calm look.Bam!The air ripped when the two collided.“Die!” exclaimed Serval with his head raised.Crack!Sounds of bones cracking echoed throughout the hall.Nobody thought Serval’s arm would be completely messed up like that.Bam!Harvey casually tossed Serval away.Serval was sent flying into a wall and slowly slid down among the sparks of lightning and crackling fire.He wanted to crawl back up again but immediately lost all his strength aft
Amos Augustus gave Elaine Garcia a look before speaking.“You’re dead set on doing this to us, right?”Crack!As soon as Elaine pulled out her phone, Harvey York casually stomped on the ground when a piece of rubble hit her hand.“Enough wasting time, Young Master,” said Harvey after Elaine wailed in pain.“Other than the soldiers, I also ordered the Wolven Tribe and the four great tribes to secure all exits.“I invited Mr. Dorian and Great Wall Vaati for chess outside too. I guarantee you nobody can go in or out of this place.“I know that the Smalt Sect’s powerful, but even a God of War would take minutes before killing their way in here.“You’d be dead many times before that happens.“After all, you know full well that you’re no match against me.”Amos’ eyes kept twitching.“You prepared for all this, you bastard?!“You’re outrageous!”“I can say the same for you.Harvey merely smiled.“I’m pretty easygoing.“And I also keep my promises.“My tricks are reserved for
In the guest hall’s dungeon.It was said that Amos Augustus supervised the construction himself. Other than walls around forty inches thick, the entire place was also surrounded by water, preventing anyone from escaping.A foul smell came from the stagnant water. Clearly, the water had not been changed for a while, cultivating countless harmful substances and bacteria.A steel bridge built with metal bars was seen on the water’s surface. Only two people at once were allowed to walk on it shoulder-to-shoulder.Massive exhaust fans were spinning behind the yellow searchlights, constantly shifting the light in the dungeon, disorienting everyone who stared for a little too long.Stefan Augustus followed behind Harvey York with a horrified look.He would have been the one locked up here if he failed.It would take a lot of courage to die, but it would take a lot more just to survive in a place like this.Harvey and Stefan reached the end of the road.There were five-foot tall steel
“Would you believe me if I told you that none of this matters to me?“You were the one who lost everything with one wrong move.“A cripple means nothing to me.Amos Augustus trembled before showing an odd gaze.“Other than asking you for a meal, I’m here to give you a chance.“If you show enough sincerity, I’ll immediately let you out of here.“Not only will you have total freedom in the future, I can even make you rich. You have my promise.”Amos curved his lips.“Do you want to know about Evermore?”Harvey shrugged.Amos gave a cold chuckle without saying another word.Harvey squinted at Amos for a moment before standing up again.“I’m not a patient man.“I don’t have time to play around with you here.“Just call me when you feel like talking.“I’ll come back as soon as I can.”Soon after, Harvey walked to the entrance.“I do hope this isn’t our last time seeing each other.”The door was closed shut when the dungeon was as dark as night.Amos’ lips twitched while t
Creak!The car braked in an instant.The experienced driver quickly turned the wheel, crashing the car into an open land.None of the pedestrians were harmed since it was not during rush hour. That said, the front of the car was completely dented after the crash.Safety bags and air curtains were deployed. The blast knocked the driver, causing a blaring horn as soon as he hit his head on the steering wheel.The two other cars were also instantly flipped because of the sudden brake.The entire scene was a huge mess.Mandy Zimmer and Maya Lee were completely dazed, but they were not that injured since they were seated in the rear.Then again, the entire experience would be bad if anyone were involved.“Quick! Protect Ms. Mandy!“Get her out of the car! Hurry!“Chase down the perpetrator!“Don’t let them get away!”Mandy’s security team leader quickly regained his senses even before Mandy or Maya could say a word.The security guards of the building quickly rushed forward fr
“An accident?The man let out a chuckle.“I’ve made plans and spent a fortune on this information. How could I possibly call this an accident?“I’d be insulting my profession if that were the case,” said the man coldly.“Speak your mind,” replied Mandy Zimmer coldly.The man burst out laughing.“You’re a wealthy lady from the top ten family, Mandy! How can you be this rude?“You’re ruining our image as prominent figures!”“Are you saying this can be solved if I treat you nicely?”“Of course not.”The man paused.“So, what’s the point of talking to you then?”“Fair point.The man clapped his hands.“Looks like I’ve many wrong impressions about the upper social class. I’ll have to change that bad habit.“Right. I’ll cut to the chase then.“According to my intel, you must’ve gotten a package this afternoon.“The package was sent here through unknown sources. At least ten experts were hired to protect it before it got to you.“And now, it has safely arrived.“It doesn’t
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
