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
Reggie could feel the pressure in his chest and a metallic taste in his mouth. He coughed out a mouthful of blood.As Harvey stomped on his chest, Reggie felt like a mountain was right on top of him—he couldn't even resist. Even in a situation like this, he didn't pull the trigger, and was simply shaking. It was obvious he knew the consequences of using firearms in Wolsing.If he was simply trying to scare others with the gun, then "they" would simply gloss over it, letting it slide. If he really did pull the trigger, it was possible that he couldn't handle the consequences.That was why Reggie felt so frustrated at this moment. He didn't dare to pull the trigger, even with the gun in his hand. Meanwhile, Hadlee and the others all looked at Harvey in fear.Reggie was already quite conceited for daring to take out a gun in a place like this. They didn't expect Harvey would completely dominate Reggie again and again.Everything was beyond Reggie's expectations!"My, don't tell me t
At the foot of Fragrant Hill, the same time as Reggie surrendered.Clouds were rolling in the gray skies above. Sometimes, the clouds would make some space and a beam of moonlight would shoot down the earth, sacred and unblemished.About a hundred meters away from the road, several Toyota Land Cruisers had stopped. The door was kicked open, and a bag was thrown on the ground.At the same time, someone from inside the car rolled out a carpet on the ground. One of them even carefully moved out a chair made out of rosewood.After a while, a Toyota Alphard slowly made its way over. When it stopped, the back of the car was directly facing the chair.The back door opened, and a slender figure clad in a striped gray suit got out of the car. He then leaned on the chair. Someone gave him a cigar and lit it up for him.As the light flashed, everyone could see clearly who he was. It was Hector, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing.After a few huffs and puffs, Hector slowly waved his h
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
