"If you really want to die, I'll fulfill your wish."Harvey did not want to waste his breath with Hector anymore and stepped forward onto the stage. Then, he started to twist the Royal Flush in his hand…Suddenly, the door into the hall was once again kicked open.George Zabel appeared at the door, and two of his subordinates dragged a middle-aged woman inside. Then, they dumped her right before the stage.When Hector saw it, the expression on his face was full of shock.Then, George bowed at Harvey, saying, "Mr. Harvey, this woman called Number Seven is now willing to confess everything. Not only did she confess where she came from, but she also confessed who the one behind the Royal Flush was and what happened afterward."According to what she said, all the people who started a riot at the Ninth-Branch Company were arranged by Hector. After that had failed, it was also he who ordered her to kill everyone who attended the riot. What happened at Sky Corporation and the Royal Flus
"I did tell you to kill Harvey, but do you think I'm stupid enough to order it in front of you?" Hector subconsciously said, feeling his blood pumping. "Not to mention, I was wearing a mask every time we met. How do you know it's me? I'm telling you, don't you dare—"Hector suddenly stopped talking, silent. He realized he had accidentally exposed the truth.The entire crowd at the expo was silent. What happened at this moment revealed to everyone there that Hector hired an assassin to assassinate Harvey, and Harvey had every right to come after him.Harvey slowly walked up the stage and said, "Since you have already admitted to your crimes, are you going to kill yourself, or should I give you a hand and send you to hell?""Send me to hell?" Hector laughed angrily, then pointed at Harvey. "So what if I hired an assassin? So what if you have the evidence? I'm telling you, the most you'll get is throwing me in jail for maybe a couple of years. Even in prison, I have plenty of ways to
Tyson and the others quickly fell under the watchful eyes of those from Dragon Cell. They couldn't do a lot in a short time.There was a brief moment of chaos, but things calmed down very quickly.Jesse said slowly, "Mr. Harvey, Mr. Hector. All of us are acquaintances, so there's no need to push things this far. I don't care which of you are in the right, but there are laws in this land. Since you're still in Wolsing, then please follow the rules in Wolsing."You should always obey the law. Whoever breaks the law in front of me is forcing my hand."Jesse appeared very dominant and oppressive. His presence immediately kept the entire hall under his control, as if he were the ruler of this place."Looks like you can't touch me after all, Harvey," Hector said with a victorious smile when he saw Jesse making his appearance."It's true paying for an assassination is a severe crime, but someone like me can easily be released after a short while. I don't care how powerful you are, I'll
Hector slowly raised his chin and looked at the ceiling on top of him with his increasingly empty eyes. There was disbelief in his gaze.Someone like him was destined to be able to enjoy all the finest things in life. He was destined to be on high, controlling the destiny of others.Death was something so far away from him. For him, no matter what he did, it wouldn't be enough to kill him.Even if the punishment for his crime was death, there would be plenty who would be willing to die in his place.However, Hector never expected the Grime Reaper to catch up with him either way.He didn't expect Harvey would kill him without a care for this world.Hector could feel regret, resentment, and anger.All those different emotions were amassing within him. However, it wasn't enough to change the fact that he was dying.His head fell lifelessly. In the final moment, all his eyes carried within them were endless resentment.Unfortunately for Hector, Harvey was simply dusting his hand w
No matter how unbelievable things seemed, it was beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hector had already died.Mabon had to accept it. While he didn't have any evidence, he was certain Harvey had a direct link to Hector's death. Harvey wouldn't hesitate to do the deed.When the thought crossed his mind, Mabon began sweating profusely. Luckily, he acknowledged his defeat immediately. Otherwise, he would be the one who died.Should he still pick on Harvey in the future?Mabon closed his eyes. He knew that after today, Harvey would become the biggest psychological obstacle in his mind, haunting him forever.Even Mandy was very confused. She wasn't sure what kind of expressions she should make. In fact, she wasn't sure what she should do.Hector suddenly died.What happened in the dark for that one minute?Jesse took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down while the others were still too surprised to act.Then, he scanned the entire crowd and waved his hand, saying, "Call rein
Jesse and Mabon sat face to face in Geraldton Hotel's presidential suite."You're the organizer and person in charge of the Wolsing Property Expo, Mr. Mabon," Jesse said as he took a sip of coffee. "From our investigation report, you're the one who informed the Thompsons about your event. I believe you can convince the Thompsons to let it go."I believe Mr. Harvey will prepare some form of compensation for the Thompsons. I hope no one will use this chance to kick up a storm when Wolsing is in a very sensitive period," Jesse said calmly, as if he was simply stating a fact.No one can change his attitude, even if the person sitting opposite of him was Mabon of the Wright family."I know you're the next in line to lead the Dragon Cell, Mr. Jesse. You're also the scion of the Xaviers of Wolsing. You're not someone I can offend when you have both identities. Ah, I forgot. You're also the student of the previous leader of the Dragon Guards, and you only went to Dragon Cell because of a
After a long moment of silence, Mabon finally sighed and said, "You're not planning to give me a way out of this, Mr. Jesse. I've already provided a statement according to what I've seen. I believe you'll all be very happy with this statement. "I've done everything I can, but now you're asking me to go to persuade the Thompsons? I don't think I can do that," Mabon said in a way that made him look powerless. "You can't force me to do the impossible."Jesse said, "I know what you're thinking. You think I'm ignoring the law just so I can help my sister. The truth is, you should have a basic understanding of who's right and who's wrong. Using that as a guide, I don't think there's anything wrong with my judgment today."Don't tell me you don't know what the situation is like right now. Wolsing can't fall into further chaos because of what happened recently. Not to mention, if the Thompsons go all out and fight Harvey until the end… I can tell you the ones who will lose won't be Harvey.
It was nine in the evening at the Wolsing International Airport.A luxury business jet bearing the flag of a particular nation quietly stopped in the corner of the airport without attracting any attention.The door opened and a group of men slowly disembarked from the jet.Leading them was a male islander with a slightly pale face.His facial features were all quite comely. He could even be considered quite handsome. He looked similar to a famous celebrity from his country. Other than being handsome, he also carried the same cold aura borne by the nobility from the island nations. One look was enough to make people feel uncomfortable.There were several men and women clad in robes behind him, their expressions cold.The robes they wore were all of different colors, representing the five classical elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.When it came to this, the islanders had mastered a majority of the knowledge they obtained from Country H.However, when the five of
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
