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
Veer Hunt’s eyes lit up slightly before reaching for Harvey York’s hand.“Sir York!“Marlee and Ethan mentioned about you!“No matter what happened, let’s just let bygones be bygones!“Since Ethan gave me his guarantee, I naturally trusted him too!“My mother’s life is in your hands now.”Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind.“But then, I have to tell you something right now.“This is to prevent further misunderstanding.”Veer froze.“Please.”“I don’t have the Honey Pill, but I’ll do my best to save the old lady.”Harvey looked deep into Veer’s eyes.Veer froze again after hearing Harvey’s honest words.His expression instantly darkened before regaining his composure.“I appreciate your honesty. There’s no need for my false hope anymore.“That said, I’m willing to give you a chance since Ethan recommended you.“Please!”Veer gestured to Harvey to step forward.Harvey could tell that Veer did not trust him anymore when he revealed the truth.That said, he was pretty imp
“Right! Right! Why did a kid like him get the last chance because of a recommendation?!”“What? Are all of us here useless compared to him?!”“He’s probably not as good as you think he is anyway! What are we supposed to do if he does something terrible to the old lady?“Who does he think he is?! He looks like he can cure everyone he wants to!”“Ms. Paislee is a true descendant of Mount Lynx! She’s a top talent of her sect, yet she wouldn’t do anything even after calculating her plan for so long!“Why would we care about a random nobody if that were the case?!”To those people, Harvey York was just someone who appeared out of nowhere to steal the limelight.More importantly, according to Veer Hunt’s statement, this would be the last chance anyone would get to treat her mother.Everyone would be satisfied if someone like Paislee Foster were to be the one to use the chance.But someone like Harvey would never be able to satisfy the crowd.While the crowd doubted Harvey, Veer jus
That said, it was only natural for those people to be enraged.After all, most of them had already brought their sects’ secret techniques and medicine just to curry favor with the Hunt family.Many were even prepared to go bankrupt just to get an opportunity here.And yet, what happened?Some empty-handed nobody came here to rob everyone of their chance.None of them would be happy if that was the case.A few beautiful women held their whisks while disdainfully glaring at Harvey York.In their eyes, ignorant men like him were just scumbags.Veer Hunt and the butler looked at each other before agreeing.They were being courteous towards Harvey only because of the Honey Pill.They only allowed him to perform to see if he could surprise them somehow.As for whether Harvey had the Honey Pill or not, they were unsure.Paislee Foster and the others standing up against Harvey would suit Veer’s interests better.This was why he remained silent for the longest time.Many times, si
“Not only do I know what you learned and think right now, but I also know that you’re condemning the old lady to her doom if you proceed with your plan!”Harvey York stepped forward before squinting at Paislee Foster.“We don’t know what’s going on with the old lady right now, but we know one thing for sure. Elderly people have weak bodies.“Once you infuse a sliver of your technique into her body…“Even if you manage to deal with the source of her problem, her body would also be ruined!“If I were you, I’d ask for the Lycan Pill to handle the situation instead! Maybe that’ll work better than your technique!“Oh! If I guess correctly, you probably have the pill here already.“Then again, those pills are expensive. The House of Priests doesn’t have many left, and making a new batch in this day and age would be almost impossible.“That was why you decided to use your Helianthus Technique first.“You’d have a guaranteed way to reverse the process if you screw up, right?Harvey s
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
