“What do you mean?!” Reggie exclaimed after looking at his broken arms.“We’re calling the cops, of course! Those bastards got out of the situation unscathed! My arms are completely broken!“I won’t be able to forgive myself if they don’t spend a few years behind the damn bars! I have ways to take out Harvey once he’s locked up!”The long-haired man realized something, then ran off to make a few phone calls.-At this very moment, the room next door had the same dishes on the table.That said, the waiters looked at Harvey as if they were staring at the face of God.Harvey didn’t mind the situation at all; since someone else was paying for his meal, he naturally wouldn’t hold back. Other than the few dishes, a bottle of 1982 Lafite was brought over as well.There wasn’t a lot of movement outside when Harvey was finally done with his meal.Yvonne poured Harvey a cup of tea, smiling. “Let’s play a game, Sir York.”“What kind of game?” Harvey chuckled.“Reggie’s been boasting ab
Harvey was impressed with the amount of beautiful women in Wolsing.“And who’s that?” he asked. “One of the most respected descendants of the Hunt family’s third generation, Lady Marlee Hunt,” Yvonne said. “My relationship with her is less than stellar.”Harvey froze, then smiled faintly. “The butler, and the lady… Why are so many people here during our meal?”“Your dear mother-in-law must’ve sold you out,” Yvonne replied with a dark expression.Harvey nodded, looking curious. “They’re here for the Honey Pill?”“Most likely.”Yvonne nodded before seeming as if she was having a headache.The Hunt family was a lot different compared to someone like Reggie. No matter how impressive the Xeno family was, it was just an ordinary top-rated family.Other than the top ten families, Yvonne simply didn’t care about the rest.The Hunt family, however, was different.The leader of the five hidden families was a huge problem on its own. Simply put, even the Xavier family wouldn’t dare go
“You’re refusing?”Marlee froze. She looked at Harvey with disbelief, then frowned. “You better think twice, Sir York.“Don’t think you can go against the Hunt family just because of some dumb woman. After all, nobody who did that managed to get away unscathed.”Harvey was planning to explain the situation at first… However, his eyes instantly turned cold after seeing the high and mighty look on Marlee’s face.He put his utensils down, before glaring at Marlee with a frown. “Are you threatening me?” “I didn’t want to put it that way…” Marlee smiled. “But if you’re going to, then so be it.”“If you’re done talking, then scram. You’re not welcome here,” Harvey snapped. “You…”Marlee froze. Her looks and background would always provide her smooth sailing—and yet, the man in front of her declined her offer and shooed her out.At this very moment, she had no clue how to react.She came to her senses a moment later, then pointed at Yvonne with utter embarrassment and anger.
“Since you were children?”Harvey glanced at Yvonne with a curious expression.“Not exactly.”Yvonne calmly explained the situation.“Wolsing’s circle isn’t as big in the first place. We all got enrolled in the same schools ever since we were little.“Every time she’s interested in a man, he’d come along and pursue me. I never accepted them, but in her eyes, I was just ruining her chances of getting a great partner.”Harvey was completely speechless.‘That’s it? I was wondering what kind of insane grudge it’d be…’Bam!When both sides were about to lash out, the door was suddenly kicked down.Reggie, who wore a wretched expression before, pridefully strutted inside.He was wearing a yellow windbreaker, and was showing a completely different attitude. His hands and face had gone through the most basic treatment as well.Aside from the fierce men in suits behind him, there were also a dozen men in uniform as well. He looked like a true elite as he entered the room.The butle
The man at the front had a beer belly, with center-parted hair. He was none other than Inspector Lee himself.He squinted at Harvey for a moment; after making sure Harvey wasn’t a local figure, he chuckled coldly.“You injured a man in front of the public! He might be crippled because of this too!“Does the law not mean anything to you? Come! Bring him back for interrogation! If he dares to resist, put him down immediately!”Two inspectors chuckled coldly before stepping forward.Harvey glared at the inspectors in front of him before speaking up.“Where’s the warrant? You don’t even have any witnesses or evidence.“And yet, you’re already arresting a civilian before even getting things straight? Aren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation this way?”Inspector Lee scoffed.“Are you teaching me how to do things, kid?“You see this uniform? I am an enforcer of law! If I say that you’re guilty, then you’re nothing but that!“If you keep yapping, I’ll get you gunned down immedia
Marlee scoffed coldly before disdainfully wiping her fingers with some tissue on the table.Naturally, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted after slapping Inspector Lee in the face.“Kneel and apologize!” the butler exclaimed. “You! And you!”The butler pointed at Reggie, then Inspector Lee.Reggie’s eyes twitched; he didn’t understand how Harvey was this lucky with women. Not just that, the women around here were all extremely outstanding people.With the Xeno family’s background, Reggie had no right to even go against the Hunt family.But for him to kneel and apologize…Reggie and Inspector Lee looked at each other.“This was just a misunderstanding! I…”Slap!The butler swung the back of his palm forward; he had no intention of holding back against Reggie.“Apologize!”Reggie’s eyes twitched again. “My father’s…”Slap!The butler slapped him in the face again. “Apologize!”Reggie gritted his teeth.“For the Country H Commercial Group’s sake…”Slap!“Apologize!”Re
“Your deal’s really tempting me right now.”Harvey smiled.“That said, I’ll have to tell you the same thing. I don’t have the Honey Pill. Thank you for the generous offer, though.”“Fine!”Marlee coldly chuckled.“Don’t think that the woman beside you can protect you!“Her family can’t even keep itself afloat right now!“Don’t even try to rely on her!“If you regret your decision, you can always call me.”Marlee pulled out a card, then set it on the table before leaving.The butler followed behind her as well.Inspector Lee stumbled off the ground as soon as he saw Marlee leaving; he fearfully glanced at Harvey before finally speaking up again.“Young Master Reggie, should we…?”“Are you fucking insane?!”Reggie stumbled off the ground with a vengeful glare.Harvey refused Marlee’s help, but she still left him her name card.This was enough to tell that if Harvey wanted to, he’d become the Hunt family’s important guest with a single phone call!Before making sure of Ha
Ten minutes later, peace and quiet returned to the room.Reggie and the others had already left, with the room completely tidied up.Harvey and the others weren’t eating despite the table full of dishes; the sight alone was enough to show Reggie’s attitude towards the situation.“Are you really not going to deal with the Hunt family, Sir York?”Ray hesitated for a moment before speaking up again.“What? Do I have to?” Harvey said curiously; it was rare for Ray to be this direct.“If I remember correctly, Lieutenant Colonel Ethan is from the same family…”“Ethan?”Harvey froze before he suddenly remembered.Brothers of the Sword Camp all came from extremely wealthy families.Ethan and Travis came from the Hunt family.But because of Marlee’s attitude, he didn’t want to get himself involved.That said, he had no choice for Ethan’s sake.Harvey pondered the situation for a moment before speaking up again.“Ray, find out what’s going on with the Hunt family’s old lady. I’ll t
