Frank Zummo frowned and said coldly to Harvey York, "What do you want?"Harvey clapped his hands and said in a casual tone. "Aren't you going to call the cops?"Then, call the cops right now."I'll give the evidence to the cops, and my guess is that quite a number of people will have to spend some time there."Don't worry. The evidence I've prepared is especially concrete. I can guarantee that if this reaches the court, the judge won't even be in the mood to discuss the case."Frank was starting to become hesitant when he heard what Harvey had said.It would be bad for a company the size of Country H Commercial Group to get into such a scandal and was made into a huge deal.If the media caught wind of this and reported it, it would greatly affect the reputation of Country H Commercial Group.When Frank thought of that, all he could do was heave a deep sigh and said, "If you can prove that you've been framed, not only will I apologize to you, I will ensure the person behind thi
Harvey York merely shrugged before saying unbothered, "I never expected your scheme to be so shoddy."If you managed to come up with any brighter ideas, you wouldn't have ended up being humiliated right now."Mr. Failes, you must be the person behind this based on how you conducted yourself, correct?"Are you ready to receive your punishment?"Or should I take you to the police station myself?"Don't worry, I won't accept any compromise even if we're at the police station."I suppose I'm doing society a favor by locking up someone like you for a few years."Harvey sighed without hiding the disdain on his face.It was obvious that Kartier Failes' scheme was not up to his standards."You bastard… Do you want to hit me?"I'll beat you up and take your phone. Let's see how you're going to convict me, then!"Kartier's expression changed as he rushed toward Harvey with a bellow.It was clear once his scheme had failed, he was going to use violence instead.However, Harvey was no
Frank Zummo's expression was extremely dark.He would not even hesitate if he needed to injure Harvey York. All he needed to do was to swing the blade three times.But the problem was that Kartier Failes was his target now.The Failes household was a top-class family and they were extremely powerful. Kartier's father was also one of the more powerful ones among the directors.Just with Kartier being the lackey of Emery Wright, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, was enough to make him stop in his tracks.Frank gritted his teeth as the thought crossed his mind and said, "The law doesn't permit us from punishing a criminal ourselves!"I believe we should let the cops handle this."Once the cops have handled this, we'll see…Harvey gave Frank a look and said, "If I didn't have such irrefutable proof, not only would you have harmed me, but you're already finding a hole to bury me in, right?""Don't be ridiculous."Law exists in our country, you know?"I wouldn't have done
After Harvey York had left the manor half an hour later, a Porsche sports car sped out from the manor and reached an upscale villa community outside the city's Fifth Ring.The villa community was built by the mountains and a lake. The greening in the community was very well done, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and the buildings were built in the architectural styles of the early 1900s.It was apparent that the buildings here were all around a hundred years old, but they were very well maintained. It was a testament to the wealth and influence of the owner.The Porsche stopped in front of a structure, and Kartier Failes, Hadlee Kennedy, and the others all got out of the car with a dark expression.Everyone could see Kartier was scheming against Harvey tonight.Not only did his scheme fail, but Harvey also immediately turned the tables on him.Kartier also felt unsettled by how Harvey said he would force Kartier to show him respect.That was why Kartier thought he had to
"You talk too much.Janus Darnell tossed the towel he was drying his hair with to the side and spoke nonchalantly."Karty, it's true that I'm your cousin, but I've also warned you."My place is not suitable for a nepo baby like yourself."You shouldn't come here too often."I'll try and recommend you to Mr. Wright once the opportunity presents itself."But you should understand there are many scions of great families who wanted to follow him throughout Wolsing—no, the entire country. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of them."It's a bit difficult with what the Failes have."Unless you can contribute something to him…"Kartier Failes forced a smile and said, "Oh, my dear cousin."Actually, I have two things I want to tell you today."Firstly, I want to inform you the woman Mr. Wright is interested in is being taken advantage of by an outsider."Secondly, this same bastard threatened me, saying that no matter who is supporting me, he will make me show him respect."Then
"What? Is that the only approach you can think of using that brain of yours when you encounter something like this? In broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of our rulers?Janus Darnell gave Kartier Failes a look and obviously showed the disappointment in his eyes."As your older cousin, Karty, I believe I'll need to properly educate you tonight."You understand what kind of a person the man we choose to follow will become in the future, yes?"He's going to become the patriarch of one of the ten top families in this country."He's going to stand at the pinnacle of humanity's hierarchy."However, you don't even know the meaning of achieving victory without wasting your forces when you wish to join someone like him."All you know is violence. Where is your manner of perspective? Where is your assertiveness?"Don't you know Mr. Wright hates these inappropriate schemes the most?""What we should be doing is to plan and strategize far away from the conflict yet be able to achi
"Harvey, you bastard!"You're so ungrateful!"The following day, Zhuri Vaus stormed Harvey York at the dining hall in the five-star hotel.She tossed her Hermes purse on the table as she glared at Harvey with wide eyes. If looks could kill, he would have already died."Do you know how many calls I had to make last night because of you?"After I made all the calls and sucked them up, I can't contact you at all?"Who do you think you are? Why do you think you can act all high and mighty?"According to Zhuri, she had pulled so many strings to help Harvey settle this.But in the end?After flattering all those people, she could not even find Harvey.Her efforts had been completely trashed.That was why she immediately made her way to that place when she received news about Harvey's whereabouts.When Zhuri saw how carefree Harvey was, all she could feel was the stuffiness in her chest.Harvey put down the spoon as he finished gulping the cereal in his mouth and wiped his mouth
When Zhuri Vaus tried to pull Harvey York up, he immediately pushed Zhuri's hand away."You…"Zhuri could feel herself almost exploding when she saw how Harvey acted."What's with that attitude?"Do you think I'm joking with you?"Harvey merely replied, "I can see your passion, Ms. Vaus."But if I'm correct, you're not really being sincere when you ask for leniency for my sake, right?"You did all of that because, if I don't surrender, you'll also get dragged into this mess, correct?"You're the one who brought me there."If you're worried about that, don't worry. Before they're done with me, they won't turn their wrath on you."Not to mention I will show them the respect they deserve soon."All you need to do is to watch from the sideline."This has nothing to do with you.""You…" Zhuri started to shake out of anger when she heard it."Why can't I talk sense into you?"I'll see just where you'll end up!"I gave you an inch and you took a mile!"You're so ungrateful an
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
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne arrived at Saint Mary Hospital, a hospital the Xaviers had invested in. They immediately headed to the ICU.When the two of them walked in, Jesse, Sia, and the others from the Xaviers quickly walked over."Yvonne, Harvey." It was obvious that they were treating Harvey as one of them already.Yvonne nodded and asked, "What happened?"Jesse extended his hand and said, "You'll know when you see."Yvonne and Harvey exchanged a look and walked into the ICU together with Jesse. Then, they saw countless machines continuing to operate, surrounded by blinking lights in the innermost ward. Nashon was lying in the hospital bed with different kinds of liquid flowing into him through the tubes connected to him.As the liquid was intravenously fed into him, Nashon's life seemed to be hanging in a dangerous balance."What happened to Nashon?" Yvonne asked. She could not believe it. She just spoke with Nashon over dinner last night. Why would Nashon suddenl
Next morning.Two more days until Linus was released from prisonThis time, the Xaviers did everything they could. On the one hand, they used the media to set certain things as top searches. On the other hand, they used all the spies they had planted to find all the contracts regarding their work with the Island Nation.But as time passed, things did not progress well.At the CEO's office in Sky Corporation, Harvey had just finished reviewing some documents. Just when he was going to force himself to go through the rest, the office door opened slightly.Next, Yvonne slowly walked in with a cup of well-brewed coffee and lightly placed it on the desk. When Harvey saw her in the office, he was a bit surprised. "Why are you here? Are the problems with the Xaviers all done?"Yvonne shook her head. "Not yet, but we did everything we could. Whether we can solve it will depend on fate, I guess. But rather than staying at the residence with a frown, I rather do some work at Sky Corporatio
Janus was slightly surprised. "If we simply watch how things develop, Linus would absolutely fall. Nashon is a schemer and with Jesse's relationship with Dragon Cell and Dragon Guard… Even Yvonne isn't any ordinary woman. Not to mention that now Linus is imprisoned, everything will be over by the time he's out."Emery snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, I can't do something too obvious as an observer, but as Linus' friend, it's fine if we give him a word of advice, right? Linus is from Country A Xavier Inc., so we only need to tell him what will happen next. If he still doesn't know what to do, he deserves everything that comes for him."Janus nodded as he listened to Emery casually explain it. Since Linus started it all, he needed to end it. Everything Linus was facing right now should be solved by himself.Meanwhile, given Country A Xavier Inc.'s abilities and reach, countering the Xaviers of Wolsing should not be that hard once they knew what they wanted to do."There's an
Janus hummed under his breath for a while before saying, "Sir, aren't you overestimating Harvey too much? Think about it. He might be smart, but only a little. On Wolsing's chessboard, he's only a pawn at most. It's pure luck that he can accomplish some things and offend a few people here and there."Emery set down the teacup in his hand and sighed. "Lucky? I admit that he might be lucky, but can someone be so fortunate that he can take over both the Country H Commercial Group and Country H Martial Arts Alliance at the same time when he literally just arrived in Wolsing?"And then, it doesn't matter who goes against him, whether it's a Young Master from the top ten families or the arrogant Islanders, all of them end up badly. And then he even interfered with the top ten families and five hidden families' family matters, which meant that he was already part of the top social circle in our country and had access to our resources."But most importantly, someone like him was completely
Emery's gaze did not even shift as he calmly said, "Speak."Janus whispered, "Linus Xavier, who just came from Country A, had been sent to prison by the precinct. From the news we received from the precinct, this precinct's higher-ups have a vested interest in this, and they've even received some interference from Country A's foreign relations department."That's why the precinct will handle this as fairly as possible. According to my sources, Linus won't be convicted or deported, but he would be locked up for at least three days and three nights."Emery finished the tea from his cup and said, "Isn't he back to regain the Xaviers of Wolsing? How did he end up behind bars when he just arrived? Who did that?""Harvey," Janus did not want to mention the name, but he had to. "The man has a good relationship with Journi and impresses Princess Sienna. And according to my sources, he's also the chairman of the Country H Commercial Group and the representative of Country H's Martial Arts A
"Send out our men and use all our contacts and spies in the Island Nation. We must find all the originals and copies of the contracts we've signed with the Islanders and destroy all the evidence immediately. We must do it quickly and destroy them before Linus is released. If we can't, the problem we face will be worse than anything we can imagine," said Nashon with a stern expression.Harvey narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me help as well. Yvonne knows Sky Corporation very well. Let me know if you need Sky Corporation's ability or my help. While we seemed to face only Country A Xavier Inc., everything was too much of a coincidence."I believe this might be a continuation of what happened to the Shinto Way. The people behind all of this had to be from Country A. Not only is he aiming to throw this family into chaos, but he might also be aiming to throw the entire country into chaos. That's why we have to be quick, and we must achieve it. We must control the risk and losses to be as l
