Harvey left the Judd residence soon and paid little attention to the clean-up that the family had to go through later. However, he knew blood would be spilled throughout the family after this. To a family like the Judds, they would never allow traitors to exist within their family.-Before dawn broke after Harvey had cleaned up the mess in the Judd residence, a figure appeared before Eridan as he bent over lying on the floor within the prison operated by the Dragon Cell in Wolsing."Useless! All of you are useless! The School of Astrologers had kept all of you around for so many years, but you couldn't even achieve something so simple! Why didn't you just die?"The figure didn't do much, but a simple kill was enough to make Eridan suffer so much that he almost died. Eridan shuddered for a moment before crawling up and said, "I've failed your trust! It's entirely my fault! But don't you worry, I didn't betray Evermore! I didn't say anything!""It's fortunate you didn't say anyth
In the afternoon, Harvey was once again at the Judd family residence in Wolsing. After the commotion last night, the entire residence had become cleaner and much more elegant.Harvey personally went to visit Marleen's grandmother. Once he was sure she was recovering, he looked once again around and gave some geomancy advice to Veer so the latter could restore the configuration around the residence back to normal.This was called reciprocating.While Harvey did help the Judds last night, Veer's call in the morning explained just how much importance the Judds had placed on Harvey.Harvey knew the way of the streets. Once he had his breakfast, he made his way back to the residence. On one hand, he wanted to find more information about something. On the other hand, he wanted to completely eliminate some of the problems remaining within the residence.Once Harvey was almost done, Veer invited Harvey to the dining room for lunch. It was almost time for lunch anyway, so Harvey didn't ref
Veer's phone started to vibrate at this time as well. He instinctively picked up his mobile and gave it a look before offering Harvey an apologetic smile. Then, they stood up and walked away to greet the uninvited guests.Harvey narrowed his eyes. One who could appear at this time and required Veer to invite him… It was definitely not anyone with a low status. Not to mention, to come right at this time… This newcomer was most likely coming for him, too.When that thought crossed his mind, Harvey didn't stand up and simply started to drink the coffee from his cup.Very quickly, a pair of well-dressed couple appeared outside the door, led by Veer. The man was wearing a traditional garb. The woman, despite her makeup, was sitting quietly in the wheelchair and was being pushed in.When Harvey saw the two of them, he wasn't sure if he should smile.It was the chairman of Country H Commercial Group, Elric, and his wife, Pamela."Allow me to introduce you, Harvey. This is an important p
As the leader of the Judd family and having spent so much time in the community of the social elites, Veer was no doubt very experienced. He could sense the enmity from both sides, and couldn't help but frown. It was obvious something upsetting had happened between them repeatedly.From Veer's angle, he didn't want to offend Harvey. However, Elric's identity was also quite high, and he couldn't simply cross Ekruc as well.After giving it a thought, Veer smiled and tried to calm the two of them down. "Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you? I wonder if I have the chance to become the peacemaker and help the two of you make peace?"Harvey smiled as well. "Mr. Veer, I think it's best you don't interfere. There's too much involved. I don't want to drag the Judd family into this as well."Then, Harvey gave Pamela a good look and said with a smile, "You must be in a lot of pain right now, Pamela. As if your entire body is giving way. Just a little shaking is enough to make yo
For someone like Elric, who had survived a long time in Wolsing, he knew the importance of making alliances.If he couldn't kill Harvey, it would be best if he could drag the Judds of Wolsing at a critical time. Elric believed that if the Judds of Wolsing were willing to work with him, it would be easy to kill Harvey. Or rather, it would be easy to force Harvey to surrender.When Veer heard Elric's words, he smiled—however, his smile was stern. He was also very experienced, so of course he understood the provocation in Elric's words. He had introduced Elric to Harvey out of the goodness of his heart, but Elric wanted to stab him in the back in the end instead. It made Veer livid. Veer slowly walked forward and patted Elric's shoulder. "There's something you don't know, Elric. We won't pursue him if he doesn't take us seriously at all. We still won't do it even if he humiliates us out in the open. If he needs it, we will even ask our multimedia companies to help him promote this."
Elric nodded and said in a superficial manner, "Don't you worry. We won't let the two of them go just like that…"Pamela wanted to say something—but in the next instance, she suddenly screamed and her whole body started to shake."What's happening? What's happening to you?" Elric asked nervously.Pamela's face twisted in pain. She couldn't stop herself from convulsing and screaming in agony."Quick! Just say yes to whatever he wants! Just say yes! Tell him to save me! Save me! I don't want to die! It hurts so much…!" -In the evening, Harvey and Journi went into the Stanton residence. They came after receiving Elric's call.In one afternoon, Elric had made at least 30 calls. Other than begging Harvey to show him some mercy, he even begged Journi. The chairman that was sanctimonious and holier-than-thou had finally given up all his pride.He kept on begging and begging, hoping Harvey could save Pamela. He even promised to do everything Harvey wanted. However, time was of the
"This is the proof of my sincerity," Elric said, giving Harvey a serious look."This is not enough," Harvey said calmly.Elric's eye slightly twitched, and continued, "Secondly, this is your official appointment letter." He took out another thing."I have ten more days left as the chairman. Ten days later, you'll be Country H Commercial Group's new chairman. With this list, this seal, and this appointment letter, it will already be enough for you to take part in the Commercial Group's daily operations from now on."Elric looked at Harvey with mixed feelings."Everyone knows what to do when someone like me is leaving his post. From now on, no one in the group is going to listen to what an old timer like me has to say. Also, I will no longer interfere with my daughter's marriage. I don't care if you're really a couple or you're just faking it, my daughter is free either way." When Journi heard what Elric was saying, she shuddered a little, feeling like she was in a daze. She cou
Elric himself couldn't help but sigh in admiration as he praised Harvey in his mind. If someone like Harvey wasn't opposing him, he would try to recruit him at all costs. Of course, even if he did recruit Harvey, he wouldn't make Harvey into his son-in-law.To someone like Elric, only a scion from a top-class family like Emery would fit his criteria and benefit him."Don't be so happy, Mr. Elric," Harvey said with a meaningful smile. "While it looks like her condition is improving by leaps and bounds, I'll come to check up on her again in ten days just in case. I want to make sure that the cause of her problem is completely rooted out."We'll see each other again in ten days. Of course, I know that you know a lot of people and are quite influential, and you might be able to recruit some experts to help you deal with the remaining problems. But I want to advise you that it's best not to try that."If someone is interfering, it might make irritate me. And when I act again, it might b
George briefly hesitated before continuing and said, "I also noticed something other than this. The Island Nation embassy was preparing for a wedding. From the looks of it, tonight would be the wedding."From my informants, the people getting married are Yvonne and Shingen."Geroge paused momentarily before continuing, "From what I heard, Yvonne lost her parents a long time ago, and Sheldon brought her up. However, Sheldon is still imprisoned within the Xavier of Wolsing's ancestral land. I heard that if Yvonne refuses to marry, then Sheldon will die."Only now did Harvey manage to connect the dots. For example, why did Yvonne leave without saying a word? For instance, why would Yvonne suddenly marry another man? When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey extended his right hand, slammed the table, and said, "From now on, you have the authority to use everything I have. But you must get Sheldon out before the wedding tonight."George was stunned. "Sir, please do anything rash! That'
"You!" Liza was so furious that she seemed to go berserk as she kept pouncing at Rachel. Unfortunately, Rachel had already realized that her lower half was defenseless. No matter how she attacked, Rachel would only focus on her legs.After exchanging blows, Rachel used a chance to kick Liza in the stomach. Liza let out a scream as she was immediately thrown out. When she dropped to the ground, the burst of internal energy and the drug after-effects made her twitch on the ground, and she could not get back up after some time."See? This is the price you pay for your revenge," Harvey signaled Rachel to stop as he looked at Liza and gave a sigh. "The power of martial arts comes from training for a long period. You, or should I say, the person behind this all, had the wrong understanding. They all think that you, after using the genetic drug, would be able to kill me with your increased power."Unfortunately, it was meaningless. In front of absolute power, your fake power meant absolute
"Everything was an act that you directed yourself! Your acting is so good that even I almost believed all of this!" Liza could not be bothered by Harvey's explanation as she was drowned in her own rage. "Someone like you can lie to the entire world, but you can't lie to someone as smart as us! All the other overseas Martial Arts Alliance will fight you till the end! We won't allow someone like you to have such a high position within the Alliance!"And then, Liza pulled out the one last syringe and stabbed it into herself. Then, she moved. She roared as she pounced toward Harvey's location.Bang!Charlotte instinctively stepped before Harvey, using her hands to block Liza's attack wave. However, she did not expect that after Liza had injected herself with so much drug, not only had her power increased, but her entire combat capabilities also had improved.Charlotte, who could normally crush Liza, was forced back after one single punch. She only stopped after she slid almost 30 feet
"Are you stupid, Liza?" Charlotte stepped forward, glaring coldly. "Even Dragon Cell proves Harvey's innocence; someone tried to frame him! But here, you accuse him of being the culprit without any evidence? Are you joking? Or do you think that the Martial Arts Alliance doesn't kill!"Then, Charlotte placed her right hand on the hilt of her longsword, as if she would fight if Liza refused to back off. Rachel also stepped forward, and a throwing knife appeared in her hand as she glared at Liza with icy eyes."Do you think I'll believe whatever you say?" Liza said coldly as she laid her dark eyes on Harvey. "Not only did this bastard personally kill Wilhelm, but once he's exposed, he even lets his underlings kill Donald and the others by imitating him! You left so much evidence, so you befuddled the investigation! So you can let yourself off the hook!"Liza smiled coldly. "Harvey, you can deceive others, but you can never deceive me! There are plenty of ways within the community of th
Harvey narrowed his eyes. He was pretty surprised that someone would attack him at this critical moment. Could it be that just as Jesse had mentioned… There were plenty of people who wanted him dead.Bang!But before the pickup truck could reach Harvey, a Benz SUV rammed right into its side as it rushed out from another alley. The truck was hit so hard that it lost control and swerved into a nearby tree.The driver of the Benz SUV did not stop. Instead, he pressed on the gas again, damaging the pickup truck even more. The SUV driver jumped out only when the pickup truck's fuel tank caught on fire.Harvey gave the driver a look. It was Ray.It was obvious that Ray was still as careful after so many years when he first joined Harvey. Even at this time, he still kept his cards close to himself. Otherwise, even if Harvey did not die, he would still be in so much trouble.Harvey nodded at Ray. He was going to check who was inside the pickup truck when someone kicked the windshield ope
Once all the paperwork had been completed, it was already seven at night. When Harvey left the prison, he saw many had already been waiting for him outside.In addition to Charlotte and Prince from the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Tyson, Ray, George, and Rachel were present. From a certain perspective, they were Harvey's greatest supporters within Country H.After Harvey got into prison, they used everything in their repertoire to prove Harvey's innocence. It was something worth celebrating, and they felt fortunate now that Harvey was released.Other than Harvey's crew, Mandy was also there.She gave Harvey a smile from some distance away. The worry on her face also disappeared. Harvey gave Mandy a nod. Initially, he was going to greet her, but he saw a Toyota van parked not far away from the corner of his eye. The van's windows were all tinted black, but Harvey could sense someone familiar looking at them.He suddenly realized who was inside the van. At that moment, he stoppe
In truth, Jesse did understand Harvey somewhat. He knew from the very beginning that with Harvey's character, he would not have killed Wilhelm.The reason he threw Harvey into prison was to protect him, other than it being the Xavier family's order as well. But he did not expect something like this to happen outside.Not only Donald had died, but all the young men and women he brought back also mostly died. All of them died the same way. They could not even resist, all of them slain in one slash. It was as if the person who killed them possessed incredible power and was very familiar with them.Other than Liza, who left the residence at the time, all the people from the other three Martial Arts Alliance who came back from overseas had been killed.The information was from Wolsing's precinct. It was absolutely unbelievable to them that something like this would happen at the country's seat of power. That was why the precinct contacted Wolsing's Dragon Cell, hoping they could work to
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
