"What kind of consequences?" Harvey asked casually. "Forget about one finger; it's nothing unusual even if I break all ten of her fingers. The Island Nation want to use the Country H Commercial Group to sow chaos in our own market? Such intentions deserve nothing but the harshest punishment!""Police! We have to call the police!" All the members of the higher-ups cried out in anger when they heard what Harvey had to say. It was a normal reaction for them to run amok when their intentions had been revealed."Police? That punishment is too light for the likes of him!" Haruka said as she finally regained her composure. She pulled out her phone and sent out a message. "Since he made a move first, everything we do now is self-defense. Cripple him and make sure he suffers, then we'll force the Country H government to give us an explanation!"No one can trample over us when we're overseas. If we don't make them remember this pain, how are we supposed to run our business here?"When the ot
The remaining dozen or so swordsmen from Shinto Way glanced at each other before charging at Harvey, screaming. They were cursing in their language, showing just how brutal they really were.However, Harvey did not mind so much. He simply took a step forward and entered the fray. He either gave them all a slap with an open palm or with the back of his hand.As the slapping sounds echoed in the air, the elite warriors from the Island Nation were all thrown away. The elite Islanders group collapsed on the ground in less than ten seconds. All of them were holding their heads as they felt like they were seeing stars.When Leighton and the others saw what happened, they blinked in disbelief. It was obvious that they never expected Harvey to be so strong.Harvey tossed the paper towel he was wiping his hand with on the ground and turned to Haruka, saying, "Looks like the people you bet your hope on are quite disappointing. Should I give you some more time so you can call more reinforceme
After hearing Harvey's words, Haruka noticed something and asked, "You know Haru?"Harvey stopped before turning around and smiled. "Not only do I know him, I've slapped him too. What, you feel like surrendering now?""Shut up!" Haruka said, almost grinding her teeth away as she clenched them. "I don't care who you are, Harvey. But you're nothing before Haru! He will kick you away! Only then will you know the consequences of offending the Islanders!"When that happens, no one will forgive you even when you crawl on the ground like a dog!"Harvey heaved a sigh, immediately turned around, and kicked her in the face. She instantly fell and rolled on the ground. When she sat back up, she coughed out a mouthful of blood."I hope you can be smarter about this. Because if you don't, you might not be able to survive until tomorrow."-On the second day after Harvey had been assaulted to the point that Haruka had lost her teeth, Harvey and Journi received a message. Country H Commercial
"That's right! Harvey crossed the line! How could he have attacked Ms. Haruka and even broken her hand in a place like that?""Not only have we made enemies of Hexagon Inc., but we have also crossed the Ito family!""We also have gathered information about you, Harvey. You're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, right? You've gotten used to dealing with every problem martially, right? You can't do that in the business world!""Your aggression would only bring disasters and malice toward the commercial group. It won't serve our interests at all!""Everyone, we have already decided to go along with Mr. Leighton's suggestion to invoke the unique procedure to dismiss Harvey from being the future chairman!"Many of the members of the board, who had been bribed last night, nodded in agreement. All of them said that what Harvey had done yesterday had completely broken the rules within the business world.Because of what Harvey had done, the commercial group had fallen into a
"I see…" Elric said as he squinted his eyes, leaning against the back of the chair. "Journi, it's nothing since Harvey didn't know how the commercial group works, and he might get a little aggressive. But you've been here for so many years, so shouldn't you know how business is conducted and how negotiations are made?"We are businessmen. Profit means everything to us. If he doesn't even know that, how is he supposed to lead the commercial group to glory? He hasn't become the chairman yet, but he has already caused the commercial group to be sniped by the Island Nation in all areas. If he really became chairman, how is he supposed to explain this to the members of the commercial group and the people of this country?" reasoned Elric with a justified tone.At the same time, Elric glanced at Harvey, saying he really wanted to help him, but what was he supposed to do when he was at such a disadvantage? "Harvey, I'm a little disappointed in you…""Disappointed? What for?" Before Journi c
It was obvious that Elric held a lot of resentment toward Harvey for becoming chairman legitimately. Many people there also nodded, saying that Harvey had to resign and leave in all sorts of manner.Harvey smiled dryly and said, "Oh, will you go back on your words in less than two days after supporting me, Mr. Elric? Is this your so-called sincerity?"Elric's expression did not change much as he said, "You're the one who caused all this, so of course you have to bear all the responsibilities! I promised that I would help you become chairman, I didn't promise to clean up every mess you've made, too! This isn't my fault.""That's right," replied Leighton with glee. "Since you've already caused this mess before even becoming chairman, what else can you do other than resign? If we let you continue things this way, the entire Country H Commercial Group will collapse!"This was the result that Leighton wanted to see. If Harvey had to leave, he would have a chance to become chairman. He w
"What? The Islanders are here?""Is Haruka here to stir up trouble?""Darn it! Don't tell me the Islanders are here to announce the commercial group's downfall?""Oh, no. Oh, no. Not only is Harvey going to die this time, all of us are going to get involved in this!"After a moment of silence, all the higher-ups in the commercial group could not control themselves anymore. All of them were shuddering as their faces turned pale, as if someone they loved had just died.It was apparent that they had believed the Islanders would not spare them this time. Even Elric's expression turned dark. It would be challenging to settle this after they had attracted the wrath of the Islanders."Ms. Ito. Mr. Miyamoto. This way, please!"When Elric and the others stood up straight on both sides, they could already see a group of Islanders walking in with pride. The one leading them was Haruka, who had her hand bandaged. Haruka was walking with her head up high, as if she would get her revenge toda
Elric implied that the person who crossed Haruka was Harvey alone, not the entire Country H Commercial Group. He had already lowered his head so much; she would not stir up trouble now, would she?"If only everyone is as eloquent as you, Mr. Elric. Unfortunately, there are those who not only don't know how to communicate, but they also don't understand how short their life can be!" said Haruka with a cold smile."That's why I'm afraid you have to give your support later on, Mr. Elric.""Haha! I'm glad I can be of your service, Ms. Haruka," replied Elric enthusiastically. "Just give the words. It doesn't matter if you have the ability or not; I will do my best if it's for you. No matter who offended you, Ms. Haruka, they also offended me!"Leighton also took a step forward with a laugh. "Our chairman is very selfless. Everyone will be judged fairly, no matter who he is. He will never bend the law for his own gain. Now, if you have any requests, just say it. We will complete it for y
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
Liza chuckled when he saw Donald, who was so confident in his abilities. "If you put some more effort into it, with your abilities, there's no doubt that Harvey will die a terrible death, am I right?"Donald rubbed his swollen face. "That little bastard hit my face until it's all swollen. Of course, I must get back at him a hundred, no, a thousand times! Otherwise, all this pain and humiliation will be for nothing."Liza bowed. "He deserves it all." "Alright, I'll get some rest. After everything, I can feel my bones aching," said Donald as he set down his glass and walked to his bedroom.But the instant he went inside, he turned around to look at Liza. "Contact Mitsuki and ask if the Island Nation still has any other evidence. If there's none, ask them if she can fabricate something concrete soon. If we want to make this case as solid as possible, we also need other evidence! And I believe they have already prepared it.""Understood!" Liza nodded and immediately left to arrange i
Just as Harvey was imprisoned because of Rita's testimony, Donald returned to his mansion with a pleasing smile.While he had lived overseas, he had plenty of assets in Wolsing.On the one hand, it was to make some money. On the other hand, it was to have a place to stay. And his favorite place was Arcadia Garden located in the third rim of Wolsing. It was not spacious and had three courtyards, and the architecture was quite old, as if it had not been renovated for decades.That being said, Arcadia Garden's design was quite old, but all the antique, the pottery, the statues… All of them were pretty valuable. If one were to live in a place like this, they would no doubt lose themselves in a life of decadence, becoming full of themselves.At this time, someone pushed open the door into Arcadia Garden with a creak.Then, Donald walked into the estate with a gratified expression, sitting on the sofa in the living room."Hahahaha! What a show! Isn't that Harvey quite bombastic? Isn't
"Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you just surrender?" Mitsuki looked at Harvey with a smirk.Harvey calmly replied, "Firstly, I have no interest in framing you Islanders. Because logically speaking, the weak will frame the strong. In my eyes, all of you Islanders are nothing. You're not even on my radar."Secondly, if I really want to kill Wilhelm, will I be so stupid to kill him just after he and I were in a scuffle earlier? Can't I wait for a few more days?"Thirdly, you showed a fingerprint and said all the evidence is clear. But you can lift my fingerprints from my residence and my office."Fourthly, you Islanders have just used Donald and Wilhelm to threaten me, so they'll make me give up on the duel. But when that fails, I'm suddenly accused of being a murderer, as if I'll go to prison at any time."There are too many coincidences. I believe the one who killed Wilhelm is someone from Island Nation, so that you can frame me.""Us? Framing you?" Mitsuki said as i
Harvey did not expect Charlotte to be willing to fight the Shinto Way for him until the very end. However, he did not want Charlotte to fight for him now.Looking at the crowd gathering around them, itching to get a fight and the people from Dragon Palace… Then he noticed Mitsuki's deep smile…Harvey sighed.He did not mind fighting the Islanders here.But if he fought with the people from Dragon Palace because of him, no matter who won, it would be a disgrace if news of this spread. Harvey raised his right hand and said, "Charlotte, no need to fight here. Didn't Mitsuki say she has enough evidence to the point that the officers from Dragon Cell are with her? If that's the case, then let's investigate. I believe I can prove my own innocence.Harvey ignored them and left the ICU.When Mitsuki and Donald saw what had happened, they looked and smiled deeply at each other and quickly followed him.-Half an hour later. In the interrogation room, Dragon Cell Wolsing branch.As th
When Harvey looked at how righteous Mitsuki was trying to portray herself, he was unsure how to react.Meanwhile, Donald immediately gave Mitsuki a thumbs up and said, "Just as expected from one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto Way, Mitsuki! Not only can you fight, but you're also guided by righteousness! With Mitsuki willing to preside over what's right, this means that there's still justice in this world. It also means that in Country H, those with power will still be punished!"Then, Donald gave Harvey a complacent smile, feeling that Harvey would have to submit even if he refused.Charlotte frowned when she saw what had happened.The Islanders were known for their particularity. They would never act rashly before they had all the evidence.However, from Mitsuki's reaction… Could it be that Harvey really did kill Wilhelm? But Charlotte instantly felt that it was impossible. For someone like Harvey, if he really had something against Wilhelm, he would handle it on th
"You…" Donald was so furious that he could not stop shaking. "You're making things up, Harvey! Even if I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have killed Wilhelm! He's a dear friend!"Then, Harvey said, "Does that matter to a person like you? You can even kill your own father as long as the price is right, much less someone unrelated to you."Donald could not stop shuddering when he heard that. However, he knew that Harvey was not completely wrong."Mr. Harvey, are all people from your country just like you? Refusing to admit to the crimes you commit? But I have proof that you're the one who killed the deacon!" A cold voice came from the other side of the corridor at this time."We went to the crime scene where William was murdered just now. We found a longsword with your fingerprint on it. This is the smoking gun. What else do you have to say?"Harvey turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was one of the three primary disciples of Shinto Way, Mitsuki. She walked
