“You’re being rude, Sir York.”Veer Hunt’s face slightly darkened despite his good temper.He angrily squinted at Harvey York when he heard someone cursing his mother.‘The priests finally decided to give their pill, and yet he’s still running his mouth here?‘If it weren’t for the fact that Ethan’s a subordinate to the Head Coach…‘I would’ve gotten people to break every single one of his limbs by now.”Harvey shook his head.“I’m telling the truth. If you do let the old lady have the Lycan Pill, she will be awake soon after.“She’d be able to eat and drink like the average person.“But seventy-two hours later, she’d be unconscious again.“When that happens, she might be able to survive as long as you release the blood in her heart.“But if you miss that timing, even God won’t be able to save her after that.”Harvey calmly shook his head.He wanted to save the old lady, but what was the point if nobody believed that?At this point, only Ethan Hunt could make this happen.
Harvey York heaved a sigh after hearing the news. It seemed like his efforts were futile after all. He was only being painted as the villain, as usual.“She won’t die immediately.Harvey briefly thought about the situation.“I know you have people in the family.“Tell them to draw some blood when the old lady falls unconscious within half an hour. She might survive for the next twenty-four hours after that.“I’ll have time to save her after that.“That said, she’d be wheelchair-bound the rest of her life.”“And what if her blood isn’t released in half an hour?” asked Ethan Hunt tremblingly.Harvey sighed.“Then, that’ll be it for her.”Ethan went dead silent.Harvey knew what he wanted to say.“I know that you have a different identity now. Then again, you have an awkward position in your family since you’re still just a bastard to them.“I understand your concerns, but it’d be better to teach them a lesson, if anything.“I’m confident your old lady will return to normal,
That said, Harvey York did not pay much attention to the Hunt family’s affairs.Ethan Hunt had not made his comeback, not because he was afraid of the Hunt family. He already had an immense identity and status at this point.Of course, if the family were to cause Harvey trouble…He would not mind teaching them a lesson either.-After a long road of silence, the car reached a private nursing home.Harvey frowned. He did not understand why Mandy Zimmer was here in the first place.After pondering the situation momentarily, he decided to make the call.Mandy rejected the call, but she quickly sent a room number.Harvey asked the front desk for the number before reaching the front of the villa.Lights were brimming throughout the place. Some guards were also posted at the entrance.Mandy’s secretary, Maya Lee, had been waiting for a while. She made a welcoming gesture to invite Harvey inside after his arrival.Harvey saw that the elegantly renovated hall had signs of destructi
Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates looked over simultaneously.Mandy lightly nodded. She knew Harvey York was coming.Lilian felt instantly sluggish before she screamed at Harvey.“You little bastard! How dare you come back here?! You…”“Don’t you want the Honey Pill?” replied Harvey calmly.Lilian was instantly stunned after hearing Harvey’s words.“Stop pretending, Harvey!“Mandy told me the Hunt family saved the old lady!“What’s the point of the Honey Pill now?!“It can’t even give me the money and the villa anymore!”“The money’s just a tiny problem. The villa can also be bought with money!“Let me tell you something! The old lady’s awake right now…“But she’ll fall unconscious after three days!“When that happens, the Honey Pill’s value would skyrocket!“Maybe then, it’d be 1.5 billion with ten whole villas for you to have.”Lilian showed an odd gaze after hearing Harvey’s words. She wanted to lash out but had no choice but to force a smile.“Harvey—no! My dear son-in-
“Huh?”Lilian Yates froze.“You’re joking, right? Are you angry?“I can’t take jokes like this, you know? I’m an old lady!”Harvey York chuckled in secret after seeing Lilian forcing her feelings back.“The old lady might not need the Honey Pill either.“It doesn’t matter to me either way.“That said…”Before Harvey was done speaking, Mandy Zimmer’s phone suddenly vibrated while she was having her coffee.She handed Harvey a cup of coffee while she was getting the call.“What?” she said with a horrible expression.“My pre-sale license got rejected again?“Didn’t we hand over all the documents according to procedure?“What? We don’t have enough money in the account?“Right, I’ll head there immediately.”“I need to go back to the office, Harvey,” she said while completely ignoring Lilian.Harvey glanced at Lilian, who seemed a little sluggish.“I’ll come with; maybe I can help with something.”Mandy glared fiercely at Lilian before dragging Harvey to the company car wit
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Mandy Zimmer’s car arrived at an office building in the suburbs.The driver frantically drove the car to a corner before parking it there.As soon as Mandy was about to question him, he quickly made a gesture.Everyone inside instinctively looked through the window before seeing a huge crowd gathering in front of the building.Those people were raising flags and banners while screaming their lungs out.“You heinous people! Give us back our hard-earned money!”“Give it back! Give it back!”“We want guaranteed delivery of housing! We’ll protect our own interests!”Mandy and the others were showing horrible expressions.Harvey York also frowned.“You didn’t get the license yet, right?“What’s going on here?”Mandy sighed. She was speechless.Maya Lee hesitated for a while.“Sir York, several properties were already sold before the ninth branch took control.“Of course, it’s most likely because of some scumbag in the family who sold them all
Eiden Jackson burst into laughter after hearing Mandy Zimmer’s remarks.“I was just kidding! You’re being too serious!“It’d be bad for business with that attitude, you know!”Mandy immediately cut Eiden off.“Enough, Mr. Eiden. Let’s be quick.“According to the deal, you were supposed to get the license after taking three million dollars as intermediary fee.“What’s going on here?”Harvey frowned at the shady-looking man before him.“Sir York, this is the intermediary Ms. Mandy spoke about, Mr. Eiden.“It’s said he has a deep history with Wolsing’s marketplace. He has an immense reputation and connections with prominent figures and top-rated families.“If we want our pre-sale license, we must go through him.“The license was priced at 7.3 million initially, but after a few rounds of negotiations, we finally agreed on three million.“For the past few weeks, we’ve been complying with his demands and gathered a lot of documents, but the request has been constantly pulled back
Mandy Zimmer frowned.“What do you mean by that?”Eiden Jackson cracked a smile.“There’s only one reason that I’m here.“My preparations have gone down the drain because you couldn’t pay up in time.“Simply put, our cooperation ends here.“Of course, I won’t return the remaining funds either.“You do understand me, right?”Mandy gazed sternly.“Are you saying you’ll take the money even without finishing the job?“Do you think the world only revolves around you?”“We’re all reasonable people here, Ms. Mandy.“I did everything I could. The process ultimately failed because of you.“Of course, I understand the license is crucial to your company.“That’s why I didn’t tell you everything yet.“We can continue our cooperation, but on one condition…“More money.“And that amount…”Eiden waved his hand around.Mandy frowned.“Seven hundred and thirty thousand?”Eiden scoffed.“Are you looking down on your company? Or are you looking down on mine?“How about this? Candid
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
