After dealing with the Hunt family’s incident, Harvey went back to the five-star hotel.Aside from asking Yvonne to send him information about the Country H Commercial Group, he also asked for detailed documents about the coming martial arts tournament as well.Normally speaking, Harvey would be notified first about such a massive event, but he didn’t know about it until recently. It didn’t seem like anyone planned to contact him in the first place.He wanted to see what the Martial Arts Alliance was doing.After reading all the documents, Harvey smiled faintly. The tournament wasn’t as simple as he thought.Other than choosing the champion of the younger generation’s martial artists, there was a more important reason.They wanted to get a different representative!To the Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey was simply an outsider.Because of his immense reputation before, the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Alliance and the sacred martial arts training grounds had no choice but to a
Four o’clock in the afternoon.A Porsche Panamera was parked in front of the five-star hotel. That said, a car of that caliber wasn’t all that impressive either compared to the hotel.The window rolled down. A young woman in her twenties was seen in the car with casual clothes and a pair of sunglasses.A lot of her face was covered by the big sunglasses, but her figure and temperament were quite extraordinary. Along with the nice car, she had attracted quite a lot of attention around her.The woman casually raised a banner with Harvey’s name on it.Harvey didn’t like such a high-profile way of doing things, but he only let out a single sigh to voice his discontent.“Hello.”The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing the shock on her beautiful face. She sized up Harvey for a moment, then glanced at the Rolex on his wrist.“You’re Harvey? The youngest member of the council?”“That’s me.” Harvey nodded. “You’re my personal secretary—Zhuri Vaus?”Harvey figured out the secretar
The car was dead silent the entire trip. The Porche came to a quiet path approximately an hour after driving down the viaduct.A manor thousands of acres big was found at the end of the path.Every single luxury car could be seen with gorgeous-looking people.This was the city suburbs, but every single corner was perfectly decorated with luxury and wealth in mind.Harvey York squinted momentarily before figuring something out. Other than being a simple restaurant and a banquet venue…This was also a resort that was established for people from the upper social circle.After all, ordinary people would not require a racecourse and golf courts.It was safe to say that only the top-rated people in Wolsing could spend their money here.After seeing Harvey squinting at the sight before him, Zhuri Vaus thought Harvey was just a country bumpkin who was severely culture shocked.She scoffed before speaking in a very prideful tone.“This is the Royal Manor, an extremely high-class estab
Harvey casually walked a few circles around the hall when he saw a variety of exquisite pastries and fruits on long tables.An enchanting champagne tower was also shimmering under the lights.A dozen chefs with white hats ran around the open kitchen before Western food dishes were served in rapid succession.Other than that, all sorts of entertainment facilities were also seen there, including cards and pool tables.The waiters were tall and had beautiful features, enticing the urges of everyone around them.It was clear that the place was made purely for entertainment.A dozen women with jewelry that would cost a fortune to any ordinary people were taking pictures together.Handsome men in suits held their champagnes and wine while they chitchatted eloquently.Some princes and young masters even played cards and worked out with their female companions.It was safe to say the luxurious place felt quite serene. Anyone coming here would surely feel right at home.Of course, onl
In Cason Lee’s mind…A young master capable of fighting was just icing on the cake.But so what if a poor sob could fight?Not only would that be completely useless, but they would also get themselves into unnecessary trouble!After all, no matter how good at fighting someone could be, the country simply had machines that could do that even better!There would be no chance even to throw a single punch!He planned to find an excuse to get Harvey kicked out before dealing with him.Other than Kylan Hunt, many more people were interested in Xynthia Zimmer.That said, it would be hard to drag her around to accompany guests with Harvey’s support.“Why do I have to explain myself to you?Harvey casually took a sip of his champagne.“Is this your property? Or do you belong to the organization hosting the banquet?“If not, then what right do you have even to question me?“You must be quite the nosy bastard, aren’t you?”“You…”Cason’s eyes twitched when he was instantly stumped.
“You don’t look like you’re supposed to be here, young man,” said the man while standing before Harvey York.“I’m afraid I’ll have to see your invitation, or you’ll have to tell me who brought you here in the first place.”Harvey swirled his glass around.“I have to prove my right to come in a rundown place like this?“Sure, but go find someone else to prove it first.”“You need to understand your situation here,” exclaimed the captain coldly.“Ms. Journi already has the entire place booked.“Without her invitation, nobody else is allowed here.“Especially those who only came to get free food and drinks.“If I were you, I’d be smart enough to leave after having enough food in my stomach.”The captain was disdainful. He was not showing Harvey any respect, as if he knew his speculation was spot on.Harvey put his glass down before briefly wiping his fingers.“And what makes you think I’m only here for the free food?“Everyone here owns a business under the Country H Commerci
“Whether I belong in the circle…“Or whether the circle’s worthy enough to have me…“Is none of your business, right?”“You’re right about that.The captain let out another cold chuckle.“That said, I have obligations to throw you out since you’re an outlier.“Of course, I’ll properly compensate for your damages if you can prove your identity.“But then, can you even do that?”Harvey seemed curious.“What are you going to do?“Grovel before me?”“You want me to grovel?” asked the captain in a gloomy voice.“Let me warn you, kid…“You shouldn’t talk this big in a place like Wolsing.“You want me, Frank Zummo, to grovel?“Who do you think you are? The chairman?“Of course, if you’re actually the chairman…“I’ll even call you ‘Daddy’ after groveling before you!”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Frank’s face.His actions were quick and deadly, completely catching Frank off guard.Everyone around quickly turned over after hearing the loud slap.“Your word
Zhuri Vaus’ eyes twitched when she briefly hesitated.“He’s right. He’s the next chairman of the organization.”“Huh?!”“What?!”“He’s the next chairman?!”“Did I hear things wrong?!”“Probably not. Zhuri’s the chairman’s personal secretary. She wouldn’t joke about things like this!”“So, you’re saying that the young man’s been playing dumb the entire time?!”Many people were filled with fear and disbelief.Even Cason Lee’s jaw had completely dropped then.Frank Zummo was filled with surprise before he thought of something.“Ms. Zhuri, this isn’t the person who was accidentally chosen as the new chairman now, is it?“The same person without any background who got chosen because the other council members didn’t want to vote for the opposition?Zhuri nodded.“Pfft!Frank smiled gloomily before tapping on Harvey York’s shoulder, forgetting the fact that he was already slapped in the face.“So, you’re the legendary Sir York!“I apologize for everything I said!“You’re als
"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
