The following morning, the entire Wolsing's streets were paved with red by the fallen leaves blanketing the ground as the winds of fall started to pick up.The barren scenery of fall began to show itself. Even the usually crowded area around the office buildings in the Third Ring seemed to be far less lively compared to the past.However, it didn't stop businesses from going on as usual.Mandy had already arrived at the reception area of the Ninth Branch Company early in the morning. She even took a team of construction workers, as she was thinking of how to restore the damages done to the building from yesterday.For Mandy, price didn't matter. All she needed was for the restoration to be completed in the shortest amount of time possible.After working through the night, the entrance of the company had already been somewhat repaired. However, she still needed some more time to restore it to how it was in the beginning.Even then, she had already calmed down a lot.No matter wha
On the other side of the call, Pavel smiled bitterly. "Things won't be so complicated if we have all the answers. In other words, you should leave if you're already there. I'm worried that the family members will do something to you. If anything happens to you, our side will have to bear even more responsibility.""They probably don't have much hostility against me for now." Mandy looked at what had happened, and sighed. "However, all of them are in full mourning attire and are mourning in front of my office."Paval's voice stopped as soon as he heard what Mandy told him. After processing it, he said, "I'll take a team over right now. But remember, please avoid conflict no matter what happens. If someone starts to fight, then things will become even more complicated." Mandy hung up quietly.The media had already started to interview the families on the spot."My dad was fine yesterday, but in the end? He pulled his own oxygen tube last night! Someone must have threatened him!"
When Maya saw that Mandy was able to keep a cool head in a situation like this, she took a deep breath and quickly went to work."Look! Mandy's been watching us!""She doesn't have any compassion at all! Look at her, she doesn't even feel any regret. Is she really going to offer her life up for killing everyone?""Looks like the law won't be able to give us any justice! Let's go, everyone! We'll personally take justice ourselves!"After the commotion had started for a while, several people among the families started to shout. It seemed that they realized Mandy wasn't going to fall for their ruse."Blood for blood!""For justice!""Let's go, everyone!"The men started to provoke the other family members. Some of them even took out rods from somewhere, making the situation even worse in an instant.At this time, the siren from the police cruisers could finally be heard.The officers from the police station had finally arrived.However, the police didn't dare to do anything too
"Closed?" Harvey smiled gently. He took out a photo from his pocket, and gave it to the security guard."She was your boss, correct? I heard she lost her husband and only had one son. Unfortunately, her son was useless, and they lost almost everything that her husband had left for her. Now, she's dead. Her son must be mourning inside, correct?"Why don't you go in and ask your little employer if he wanted to know the truth of his mother's death? If he wants to, then let me in. I can confidently say that I'm the only one who can help him get to the truth of his mother's death."The security guard looked at him strangely. After holding the photo for a moment, he quickly went in.-Five minutes later, Harvey was inside the furniture complex.All the shops inside the complex were closed, and the lights in the corridors weren't switched on as well. Only the dim emergency lights would occasionally flash.In the corner of the complex, several security guards were sitting on the floor l
When Helios shouted loudly, many of the security guards surrounding them stood up. They all looked at Harvey with cold eyes.They were all Helios' henchmen, who worked for him.While Helios wasn't worth much, he treated his underlings well.That was why his henchmen were still willing to serve him, even when he had fallen to such a state.Harvey ignored the security guards who were approaching him, and simply walked over to the photo of the deceased woman. He looked at the face of the ordinary woman on it, and said, "This reminds me of the idiom 'give a dog a bad name and hang him', Helios."No matter what you say, you're still a nepo baby. You should understand the person who killed your mother isn't me, but the person who used her to frame others. If you want revenge, that's fine. But go look for the person who ordered her to do all this!"Kill him, and only then will you be able to truly avenge your mother. Do you think there's any point in trying to kill me? Do you think your
"Oh, right. I heard something else," Harvey said, as if something came to his mind. "About three years ago, you still had a forty-four-million–dollar debt at the Hamilton Casino, right?"It's not a lot, but it's not an amount you can scoff at either. To the Hamiltons, bad debts will affect their company's share prices. That's why they've been looking for the person who owed them this forty-four-million-dollar debt."I'm an acquaintance with the King of Gambling. If you need someone to organize a dinner for you to negotiate this, I'm willing. The Hamiltons are all compassionate people, so this should be negotiable."Helios narrowed his eyes with a dry smile. "Should I thank you, then?""No rush," Harvey said with a faint smile. "The thing you'll be thankful for comes after this."I heard you're very close with a certain 'daughter' of a mafia boss in Wolsing? Not only did you help her with her computer problems often, you even helped her clean up her clog drain. You two are so close
It was four in the evening.Captain Pavel had arranged for a safehouse for Mandy to stay for the night.According to the Third-Ring Police Station, while they had no evidence to prove that the victims' death had anything to do with Mandy, there was also no evidence to prove that their deaths had nothing to do with her.At this point, the police station's intention to either protect Mandy or stop her from leaving was irrelevant.Third-Ring Police Station also requested Harvey to stay in the safehouse as well.When Harvey arrived at the safehouse's location, he was a little stunned. His expression was still calm, but his eyes darkened.Other than Mandy and her family, even Hector was there as well.At this time, he was drinking coffee while folding his leg. He then invited Harvey to join him for a cup of coffee, as if he owned the place.At the same time, Lilian also saw Harvey turning up."What's going on? Isn't everything solved already? Why does Mandy have to stay here? Tell
Hector sighed. "It's fine, Lilian. I know very well the relationship between Harvey and Mandy. It's normal for him to be on his guard against me. All is fair in love and war, right? I just hope Mandy won't have the same misunderstanding as he has."Simon, who was standing next to Lilian, scoffed. "Of cours! My daughter possesses a keen mind. She won't suspect you just because of some words from Harvey. You're from the Thompson family of Wolsing, one of the top ten families. You have always carried yourself with pride and dignity."Someone like you wouldn't stoop so low. If you want something, all you need to do is to have a show of force. Only those who have no confidence and have a wicked heart would use these despicable schemes to achieve their goals."Hector's heart skipped a beat, but he still smiled. "You're right, of course."Harvey also gave Simon a big thumbs up. "I think we should record what you said just now and put it on repeat a hundred times at least. Maybe it would f
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
