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
Harvey sighed when he saw Mandy's expression. While Mandy had some suspicion of Hector earlier, Harvey knew Mandy's personality very well. Since Hector had already persuaded her, it was pointless for him to say anything else.Unless Harvey could take out some evidence to counter Hector, it was pointless to waste his breath here.As the thought crossed his mind, he then took out his mobile and made a few calls right in front of Hector and the others. He then said, "What a coincidence! My men know where Reggie is right now. I'll go and have a wee chat with him. If Reggie really is the one behind this, then I'll return here and apologize to you!" Harvey didn't even give Lilian and the others a glance, and simply left."That bastard… He's getting more and more unruly! This is obviously his fault, and still he refuses to acknowledge it's him. He's so stubborn!" Lilian said with a resentful expression."Mandy, I'm going to repeat it one more time. You better not have any thoughts o
The biggest private room in Club Aroma was located on the fifth floor, which was also the top floor.There was only one room on the fifth floor, and its walls were made of glass. One could see its surroundings in full view on this floor.According to the information Tyson gathered, Reggie had booked this entire floor and was enjoying his time there.Since the evidence Hector produced had made Reggie to be the culprit, Harvey had to naturally come see him—to see if he willingly chose to become the culprit, or he was framed.When Harvey and his entourage had reached the stairway leading to the fifth floor, many security guards looked at him. One of them looked at Harvey with a dark expression. "Who are you? Don't you know Mr. Reggie has already booked the floor upstairs? You should leave if you know what's good for you!" Harvey said nothing, and simply walked over. Meanwhile, Tyson simply followed Harvey before giving all of the security guards a kick.Plenty of people were look
The youth continued to bombard Harvey with words. "If you leave right now, I'll still refer to you as a mister. Otherwise, you won't even have the chance to leave after this!"The youth then approached Harvey, wanting to slap Harvey's face. Before he could even get any closer, however, Tyson had already taken a step forward and immediately slapped him across the face, sending him to the floor with a loud smack.The youth instantly fell on the coffee table carved from rock in the corner. There was a loud bang, and he could only wriggle around in pain after that.What happened shocked everyone present.They didn't expect the man next to Harvey would dare to make the first move. Not only that, he was doing it as brutally as possible.Hadlee, who previously framed Harvey and said he wanted to sexually assault her, turned pale. She quickly hid behind Reggie, hoping to find a safer spot to hide behind.Kartier, who wanted to date Zhuri, was also among the crowd with a dark expression
Reggie was becoming very confident after obtaining a powerful backer. He felt that no matter how powerful Harvey was, Reggie could easily stomp on Harvey if he wanted to. After all, the person he had aligned himself with lately was the number one Young Master in Wolsing!Once he had the support of someone like that, no one could scare him anymore."What if the officers were here? I didn't touch you, nor did I scold you. Can they take me away when I have done nothing wrong?" Harvey said as he sat down on a random sofa before tapping his finger on the armrest."I won't let you go scot-free after you've schemed against Mandy. The only difference is that either you accept the punishment for it on your own terms, or force my hand.""Ha… You sound so arrogant. But do you really think you're someone that influential?" Reggie let out a sneer. "I can tell you that while I can't do anything to you, my backer can annihilate you easily with one wave of his hand."Forget being in his league,
"You… You hit me?" Reggie was completely stunned, unable to react to it."What? You didn't feel that?" Harvey smiled at Reggie. He walked toward the latter, and gave Reggie two more slaps—one with his palm, the other with the back of his hand. He hit Reggie so hard, even the cigar in Reggie's hand flew away.Two more red handprints appeared on Reggie's face."Can you feel it now? Are you satisfied with it? Don't you feel great?" Harvey extended his right hand, and patted Reggie's face."Who do you think you are?! Do you think you've earned the spot to act so haughtily in front of me just because you have a backer? Even if your backer himself came here, I'll slap him away too. As for you, I don't mind crushing you once more if I feel like it."Harvey then kicked Reggie away. Reggie fell on the floor, his eyes twitching. He finally remembered how Harvey had crushed his limbs under his foot before. That time, he had to take a step back because of the appearance of the Judd family
"You… Good! It has been a long time since anyone acted so arrogantly in front of me!" Reggie snarled.He smiled coldly as he inserted his right hand into his pocket under his jacket, searching for something. "Oh, Harvey. Your ignorance and arrogance are shocking. Looks like I don't have to waste my breath with people like you. What I must do right now is kill you!"Reggie pulled out his right hand, and a masterwork firearm appeared in his hand. He unlocked the gun's safety and put the muzzle on Harvey's forehead, a brutal smile on his face. "Come on, why don't you start acting even more arrogantly? I know you're quite strong, but I don't think you can be even more powerful than a gun! Time has changed, Harvey!"All the beautiful women, including Hadlee, looked at Reggie with adulation. Their hands were on their chests. He did what those men from the underworld dared to do! He took out his gun immediately when things went bad so that he could have an absolute advantage!It was i
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
