“Come now, ma’am! No need to get mad!”Anne smiled while walking beside Lilian.“We already chased Harvey away! We wouldn’t let someone like him get close to Mandy! You told us so, remember?”Lilian finally let out a sigh, her expression cold.“Good! My eyes are twitching already! Nothing good ever comes with that kid’s name!“I’m warning you, Mandy! Don’t you dare be in contact with him from now on! You understand me?!”Mandy’s expression was horrible. “We’re just friends, Mother…”“Shut up already!”Lilian slammed the table.“You think I don’t know about this?! He’s only trying to cling to you because you’re rich now!“You’re a member of the top ten families! You should know to only be close to people like you!“Look at what Young Master Hector did! He gave me a card with a million dollars in it! Can that filthy vermin do something like that?“Don’t talk to me about his stupid business in South Light, either!“Let me tell you something! Everything outside of Wolsing mean
“What’s this?”Master Sallow quickly came to the front and picked up the skin of the pill, then took a few huffs and had a taste of his finger.Soon after, he appeared ecstatic.“Where’s the actual content? Where is it?”Everyone looked at each other.“Master Sallow… Is there something wrong with it?”“Of course there is!” Master Sallow quickly approached Lilian and held her hands. “Tell me! Where did it go?!”Lilian instinctively looked at the burping poodle. “I…fed it to my dog…”“What?! What did you say?!”Master Sallow’s face lost color, and he stumbled around the place.Furious, he went to the poodle, and pried its mouth open and smelled it. He instantly fell to the ground after that.“Who did this?! Who fed the Honey Pill to the dog?! Even the wealthiest of people can’t afford such a thing!“Don’t you know?! Only kings of the past would have the right to eat something like this!“It’s said to revive the dead, and cure all diseases!“Not long ago, the old lady of the
After seeing the goddess with an exquisite figure smiling, Harvey let out a sigh.“You’re kidding me. Did you know what happened there?”Judging from the fact that Yvonne telling the staff to send in the dishes, it was clear she knew everything that happened. If not, she wouldn’t even ask Harvey such a random question.“I was just worried about you being too immersed in the outskirts and forgetting how we do things here in Wolsing.”Harvey looked at Ray as if he was begging for help.Ray kept his eyes glued on his phone, as if there was something interesting on it.Harvey’s eyes twitched; he then put on a stern expression.“Let’s just talk about the Country H Commercial Group for now, Yvonne,” he said, desperately trying to change the subject.“We need to do a good job about this, right? Tell me what’s going on in the organization!”Yvonne glared at Harvey for a moment; when the dishes were all sent over, she poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Harvey before finally speakin
“When should we start taking action?”Yvonne grabbed Harvey a drumstick, smiling.“There’s no rush; Elric’s not retired yet, right?” Harvey replied with food in his mouth.“If we take action now, everyone will turn against us out of hatred. Just let the others fight, and we’ll reap the rewards after that.“We need to do things the best way with minimal casualties.”Yvonne chuckled.“We can’t just sit here and do nothing though, right?”Ray had no intention of holding back. “We might as well head back to South Light if that’s the case.”“What are you saying?”Harvey glared at Ray.“We’re not even done with Sky Corporation’s relocation.“We haven’t even got a suitable investor in Wolsing, either.“We’d have to find an opportunity to secure a place here first, you know?“We have full control over Buckwood…but this is Wolsing. Everything’s a lot more difficult here.”Ray nodded, then pondered the situation for a moment.“I understand. Sky Corporation will launch all busine
Harvey showed a profound gaze; he didn’t think a gift to Mandy would cause such huge trouble.‘Maybe I should’ve…’While Harvey was in deep thought, Yvonne smiled.“Of course, this is just speculation.“Maybe the Hunt family would treat them kindly for the Honey Pill’s whereabouts. In any case, we’ll cross the bridge when we get there.“For my old lover’s sake, I’ll make sure that nothing happens to her.”Harvey’s eyes twitched.With both Mandy and Yvonne in the same city, the love triangle was bound to have some drama.Before Harvey’s headache could subside, Yvonne’s face darkened and she continued to speak. “Right, Sir York. There’s something that I need to tell you.“The Xavier family’s butler gave me a call; they know that I came back here already. He said that the old man’s arranging another date for me, and demanded me to go.”Harvey’s eyes twitched again.Ray desperately wanted to hide under the table after hearing those words.Bam!When Harvey was still thinking
Yvonne smiled at Harvey, completely ignoring Reggie.“Judging from this guy’s tone, you must’ve stolen his woman. Let me guess: Mandy? You have quite the good luck with women, huh?”Yvonne chuckled.The curve of her smile, revealing her bright teeth, would be enough to make any man lose control.“No, you’re the one with good luck here…”Reggie looked as if his soul was being pulled as he tried reaching out to Yvonne’s face.“If I were you, I wouldn’t do anything until I figure out who I’m dealing with,” Harvey said after setting his utensils down.“I guarantee that if you get your hand any closer, you’ll be the one suffering.“Grovel and admit to your mistake, then get your men out of here.“Pay for the room on your way out, and I’ll let you off the hook.“After all, I don’t want to cause any trouble since it’s my first day here.”Reggie froze; he didn’t think that Harvey was a prominent figure, but a useless kept man. But judging from Harvey’s tone, he started to realize th
The men in black suits burst out laughing after hearing Reggie’s words.He was right, after all.Whoever his enemies were, as long as they were outsiders… They’d be instantly humbled as soon as they arrived here.‘A mere outsider like him has no right to go against a prominent figure like Young Master Reggie!’A few beautiful women in heavy makeup heard the commotion, and came to watch the show.They had their arms crossed as they glared disdainfully at Harvey and the others.‘There’s been a lot of country bumpkins visiting here…but it's my first time seeing someone acting like this!’“I should warn you,” Ray said in the nick of time.“You better do as Sir York says. He’s in a good enough mood since he just came here. He won’t make things harder for you people if you listen.”Pfft!The beautiful women laughed their stomachs off.“Sir York? He calls himself that when he just got here? That’s a title only a CEO can have!“If he’s a CEO, then I’m the king of the world! How dar
“You bastard! Stop it!”The fierce men rushed forward after freezing for a moment; they were holding knives and baseball bats, prepared to take action at any time.A huge fight was about to break out.Ray was Harvey’s personal bodyguard, and also a soldier who had been on the battlefield. He chuckled coldly, having no intention of letting these people get close to Harvey.Bam, bam, bam!He charged into one of the men, then grabbed the man’s knife and took down the rest with swift cuts. After that, he quickly leaped toward Reggie.Reggie instinctively felt threatened; he was about to stumble back, but Ray’s knife was already on his throat. A cold aura seeped out of the blade, making Reggie shiver in fear.His face was horrible. It was clear that he was at his wit’s end.The beautiful women screamed in fear before hiding in the corner of the room; none of them dared to take a single breath in that very moment.“Reggie, right? You better tell your men this. Give up now, or my han
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
