“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
Harvey turned on his phone’s speakers despite Yvonne and Ray beside him.“What’s up, Ethan?”Normally speaking, Ethan wouldn’t call Harvey on his own; something must’ve happened.“There’s something I’d like to ask, Sir York; are you in Wolsing right now?”Ethan hesitated for a moment before speaking up.“Is this about your family?”“Keen eye as usual.”Ethan bitterly chuckled.“Just now, I received reports of the direct descendant plotting against someone with your name.“I was wondering if it was actually you. Those people want to die at this point…”Ethan awkwardly changed the subject.“That said, they didn’t mean to do all this; they’re just panicking at this point. For my sake, please let them off the hook…”Harvey smiled.“I wouldn’t be taking your call right now if I cared.“We’ve been brothers for many years now; just say what’s on your mind. I’m already annoyed with how much you’re beating around the bush right now.”“Can’t hide anything from you, Sir York,” Etha
Half an hour later, Harvey sat in the back of a Rolls-Royce after his breakfast.The professional driver was none other than the person who had the blessing to meet Harvey before—the butler himself.The butler couldn’t help but feel disdain when seeing Harvey’s face.After all, Harvey had already refused Marlee’s offer, yet he came back here just to check in on the old lady.The butler was sure that Harvey was just showing off at this point.Harvey ignored the butler’s expression and flipped through the documents that Ethan sent about her grandmother.That said, it was only natural for his information to be a little outdated since he wasn’t in Wolsing.Harvey kept looking through the documents before glancing at the butler.“What’s going on with the old lady right now?”The butler curled his lips, acting all high and mighty.“Just like a few days ago, she is still unconscious.“Because of your refusal to work with us, the family’s old man even asked a lot of well-known peopl
Harvey glanced around him, and saw a young female priest in a purple robe.The woman’s skin was as bright as snow, with an extremely beautiful face; she didn’t seem like a priest in the slightest.The people around seemed to be following her as well.Harvey remembered that people in purple robes were extremely well-respected.The priest felt Harvey’s gaze, and fiercely looking over. She showed a high and mighty expression. She finally looked away before treating Harvey as some talentless nobody.The others were completely disinterested in him as well.After all, the old lady’s situation was the most important.Anyone who solved the problem would be owed a huge favor from the Hunt family.“Thank you, everyone!”A man in his fifties, with a square face, slowly came over. Everyone showed stern expressions when they saw his face.“Mr. Veer!”It was clear this was the current person in charge of the Hunt family’s direct descendants, Veer Hunt. He was Ethan’s uncle, and the fathe
