Swoosh!The people in gray robes instantly pounced over, prepared to take on Harvey.Frantic footsteps were heard soon after. A woman’s cold voice echoed.“I was wondering who’s causing this much of a ruckus in a five-star hotel! You’re from the House of Priests!“What? Do you think you’re kings of the world just because you have Kurbus under your control?“I am Charlotte Padget! As long as I’m here, no one from the sacred martial arts training grounds is allowed to cross the line!”A dozen people in uniforms came forward.A woman in a white uniform with a ponytail stood in front with her sword in hand. She looked like she was in her twenties, and her expression was gentle, but her aura was nothing short of heroic.It was clear that she was from a sacred martial arts training ground as well. An aura like that wouldn’t be obtainable without generations of cultivation.“Charlotte Padget?”The man’s expression changed.“You’re in charge of enforcing the law at the martial arts
Arlan glared coldly at Charlotte, then smiled.“Why don’t we make this quick, Sir York?“Grovel as an apology right now, and I’ll just send a recording to Paislee!“You should thank Ms. Charlotte! If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t be able to get such an opportunity in the first place!”Naturally, Arlan was quite unhappy with Charlotte’s sudden appearance. Not only was he planning on crushing Harvey’s pride, he wanted to crush Charlotte’s as well.Charlotte’s expression darkened instantly.“You want me to grovel and be recorded?” Harvey asked calmly. “You think you have the right for me to even do that?”“What’s with the attitude, kid?”Arlan’s cold gaze was filled with murderous intent.“If you don’t know just how impressive the House of Priests is, just ask the nosy bastard herself!“If I actually want you dead… I wouldn’t even need to wait!”Charlotte could sense the intent in Arlan’s words; she hesitated for a moment before coming beside Harvey.“Mr. York, I don’t know
“I was in a good mood, and I was planning to have some rest in my room…” Harvey said.“But you just had to come at me.“You can leave.“But at least pay for my mental loss fee“Kneel, apologize, then pay me 1.5 million dollars. If you don’t, then don’t even think of leaving.”‘He’s crazy! He’s completely insane! How does he say something like that? He’s just filth whose destiny is to be crushed!’After their initial shock, the people from the House of Priests showed playful expressions.‘We’ve seen a lot of reckless people already… But not to this extent!’“Good! Good!”Arlan froze for a moment before breaking into an icy smile.“It’s my first time seeing someone this impressive after so long!“It’s not that I don’t respect you, Ms. Charlotte! He just wants to die is all!”Arlan chuckled.“Kill him!”The people in gray robes cracked their necks before stepping forward.Bam, bam, bam!Gunshots were heard; two instantly fell to the ground, paralyzed. They were filled with
“The House of Priests will give you an explanation for the Lycan Pill, Mr. Yousef…”Arlan gritted his teeth for a moment, then sank into a deep bow.“We’ll put aside the family’s business for now.“However, you’ll have to deal with Sir York’s problem first. Kneel, apologize, then pay 1.5 million to Sir York!”The crowd’s eyes twitched.It was clear that to pamper Harvey and to make up for what happened… Yousef was dead set on standing up for Harvey.Charlotte showed an odd expression.The Hunt family wasn’t a sacred martial arts training ground, but the leader of the five hidden families. They had nothing to fear in a place like Wolsing.However, going against the House of Priests for the sake of Harvey was simply absurd.Arlan’s expression darkened.“Mr. Yousef, the House of Priests…”Slap!“Did I not make myself clear?” Yousef yelled. Arlan stumbled back, showing disbelief. “Mr. Yousef, we’ll give you an explanation for this. We…”Slap!Yousef slapped Arlan again. “I
“You’re crossing the line, Harvey!”Arlan stumbled off the ground with a vengeful expression.“You think you can hold me down just because you have the Hunt family’s support? I’ll just drag you down with me if I want to!”Bam!Harvey instantly kicked Arlan down. “Do it, then!”Yousef glowered at Arlan. “Try it!”‘That bastard! He’s using someone else’s strength! He’s just scaring me, is all!’Arlan felt utterly resentful.He really wanted to take out Harvey right there and then—but he knew that he’d die as well if he tried.He came here to join the martial arts tournament! He came to Wolsing to make a name for himself!He only caused trouble to Harvey to stand up for his junior and earn his position as the young master, then marry his senior before reaching the pinnacle of his life.He wouldn’t want to die here!Besides, Arlan wasn’t just an ordinary person either; he could tell that the fierce men in suits were the same. Not only were they expert martial artists, they were
Harvey squinted, glaring coldly at Arlan.He wouldn’t care if Arlan were to know his limits.But if that wasn’t the case…After seeing Arlan and the others stumble out of the hall, Charlotte looked strangely at Harvey.“Again…“If you get into trouble, you can call me as long as people participating in the martial arts tournament are involved.“I suggest you leave Wolsing as well. After all… Arlan’s quite the infamous madman in the House of Priests.”Harvey smiled as he looked at Charlotte.“Thank you for that, Ms. Charlotte. If you need me, you can call me as well!”Harvey handed her his name card.Charlotte froze; she believed that Harvey was only doing this because of his pride as a man. She couldn’t bear to refuse, and only left after taking the name card.Only Harvey and Yousef were left.Yousef came over with a fawning look.“Arlan is indeed insane, Sir York. I heard he’s gone too far because of his pursuit towards Paislee.“It’d be troubling to be remembered by suc
Bam!Before Harvey even finished his words, Yousef suddenly slammed his knees to the ground.“The Hunt family did not forget what you said, Sir York!” he exclaimed while gritting his teeth, ignoring everyone else around him.“The master wanted to be the one to beg for your help…“But he simply couldn’t leave the old lady!“He said that as long as you’re willing to lend aid, the family will owe you a favor no matter if you succeed or not!“The family will all kneel to greet you as well…”-Half an hour later, Harvey arrived at the Hunt family’s manor.Before coming here, he made it clear that he didn’t want the family to kneel as a greeting. After all, the people had already humbled themselves enough.Besides, Harvey wasn’t confident enough to deal with the old lady’s current situation anyway.Yousef quickly took Harvey inside the manor; he was on a call while he explained the situation to Harvey.“Something happened when I went to fetch you, Sir York.“The old lady suddenl
Veer was the current person in charge of the Hunt family.And yet, he still kneeled in front of such a young man. The prideful members of the family didn’t know how they should react to the sight.The people here were all direct descendants of the family. A mere relative like Kylan was simply inferior compared to them.These direct descendants were elites respected by others.And yet, even someone like Veer kneeled. It was clear the sight had made a huge impact to their minds.“Please.”Harvey quickly lifted Veer.“All things aside, your kindness alone is enough for me to help. Besides, Ethan’s my brother as well!”Veer hesitated for a moment.“If you can save my mother, I will swear in my name… That Ethan will surely rise to power in the family!”“You’re too kind.”Harvey smiled calmly. “But don’t forget: he’s a God of War. If he’s willing to take charge… The family would be the one benefitting; not him.”Veer froze before showing a profound gaze.As Harvey said, if Eth
"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
After that, the duo were just going to leave like that. Yvonne frowned and then calmly said, "Stop them."After she made her orders, dozens of security guards walked out from the corner. They were all security guards from the Xaviers of Wolsing, and each was extremely strong.They did not attack but simply blocked all the entrances. When Morganna saw that, she was instantly enraged. "What's the meaning of this? How dare you stop the path of those who come from a world of freedom? Do you know what will happen if you do this?"Harvey merely smiled and asked, "World of freedom? Why don't you tell me which world of freedom you're from?""I've already gained permanent residency in Country A, so of course I'm from Country A!" answered Morganna smugly. "Country A is the most advanced country in this world. Now that we have joined Country A, of course we're people of freedom! I'm warning you, now that we're from Country A, your law is useless against us! Now, step out of our way!"Harvey
The expression of the man and woman both darkened with Yvonne's questioning. "Who are you then? What right do you have to question us? How can you prove that this is a private hospital? How can you prove that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department? Who do you think you are? The boss of this place?"The woman cried out arrogantly. Even her arguments were full of disdain."That's right. You're not the boss of this place, so why are you interfering in our matter? Go away, or I'm going to make you pay for our destroyed drone!" The two pretended they did nothing wrong, and Yvonne's sudden appearance spoiled their plans.Harvey observed the two coldly. While they acted very roguishly, their flexibility and arrogant tone showed they were anything but ordinary.At the very least, they were very used to situations like this."I'm sorry, but I'm Saint Mary Hospital's CEO," replied Yvonne with a smile and then pointed at the man's mobile. "Delete everything you've
Harvey calmly asked, "Do we have any leads?"Jesse shook his head. "Currently? No. The one who's behind this hid their tracks too well. I've already sent my people out to investigate the source when this happened, but we didn't get any valuable leads. But at this time, finding the person behind this isn't important. The important thing right now is that we need to save the patriarch. "Otherwise, if anything happens to him, Linus will have another excuse to attack us tomorrow at the press conference."Harvey nodded, pulled out a mobile, and gave it to Jesse. Then he said, "Since I'm heavily suspected of being the person behind this ploy, I can't do anything to help him in this situation. But I believe Oskar will be able to help for my sake.""The National Doctor Senior Oskar Armstrong?" Jesse was slightly stunned when he saw the number on the screen of the phone Harvey handed to him. A moment later, he was already making a call on the other side. He wanted to contact him, but only
