"You used her phone to reply to my messages?" Harvey frowned slightly.Realizing she had blurted the truth out, the woman on the other side of the call said, "I'm Rita. We met back in Buckwood. I'm Yvonne's sister-in-law. Anything wrong with me responding to her messages on her behalf?""If she's alright, I wish she could tell me that herself," Harvey said sternly. "I'm afraid that won't be possible," Rita said calmly. "Yvonne's going to get married soon. The Xavier of Wolsing is a very traditional family. If she's going to get married, she can't see any men other than her fiancé. So you can forget about it.""Yvonne's marrying?" Harvey was shocked. "Why have I never heard about it? Let's see. I'll visit your family later on. If Yvonne's willing to marry, I'll give her my blessings without any issues. If not…""What do you mean, 'if not'? What rights do you have to interfere with our family matters?" Rita was somehow furious when she heard what Harvey had to say. "Do you know
When Harvey saw that number, he thought it was Rita again. He gave it a thought and picked it up anyway. Before he could say anything, a woman's noble voice came from the other side. "Your number is so hard to find, Harvey! What? You won't even give me a call when you're in Wolsing?"Harvey was stunned when he heard that voice. "Princess Wright?"Even he didn't expect that Sienna would personally call him at a time like this.Sienna smiled. "It's me, but I'm not in Wolsing until recently. I'm back today and I already heard about how you're challenging the Islanders again. You're going to battle at the Apex of the Forbidden City in the full moon. Are you going to do what you did at Flutwell again and humiliate them too?"Harvey smiled. "You must be joking. The Islanders are already humiliating us. As the Country H Martial Arts Alliance's representative, how can I not do anything? Then again, I don't think this will go as planned, because…"Just then, a shrill tone pierced his e
When Rita saw Harvey walking toward him, there was disdain on her face. It wasn't the first time she had met Harvey. However, she now looked at Harvey with even more disdain than the time she saw him back in Buckwood a few years ago.When Harvey was at Buckwood, he was the most powerful man then. While Rita didn't like him, even she had to admit that Harvey had quite the talent.But ever since the so-called number one of Buckwood came to Wolsing, he became just another fish in the ocean. In Wolsing, when scions of powerful families walked around in plain sight, Rita couldn't understand what was so special about Harvey.At this time, the woman with the short hair also noticed Harvey. She glanced at Harvey, and her eyes were instantly filled with scorn. "Don't tell me this is the man from South Light that Yvonne had a relationship with, Rita? Yvonne's taste really is quite something. Does she like someone like this? She's ruining the reputation of a top family like ours."It was ob
Harvey laughed, caring little. He was not interested in women who wanted nothing but power and wealth."What? Cat got your tongue? You don't have a response?" The long-haired woman looked at Harvey with scorn. "Let me warn you! Even if this isn't about Yvonne, Wolsing is not a place where a country bumpkin like you can show yourself. I find it hard to believe how blind Yvonne must be to become your secretary. Even if she wants to experience life, there's no need for her to humiliate herself like this, right?"The long-haired woman shook her head and sighed with a face full of disbelief. It was as if the choice Yvonne made had completely ruined the Xaviers of Wolsing's reputation. As the three women continued to taunt Harvey, a well-dressed waitress came over with a cart. Then, she served each of the women their meal. Even before the dome was opened, a sweet scent was already permeating from under the dome.While the meals inside looked quite simple, they were all very exquisite.
The faces of the long-haired woman and Rita, who had just picked up their forks and were going to have a slice of the fresh Salmon, grew pale. It was obvious that whether Harvey was being intentional or not, it was enough to disgust them.Before they could say anything, the waitress next to Harvey frowned and said, "Sir, the South Ocean Restaurant uses the freshest ingredients. I will have security to ask you to leave for interrupting our business by throwing wild accusations.""That's right!" Rita let out a cold smile when she heard what the waitress had to say. "Do you know who owns this place? It's the Wrights of Wolsing, the leader of the top ten families! While their goods are always known to be pricey, they're all worth it. You must have a death wish to start a ruckus in their territory. You better not tell them you know us when they settle the score with you later!""It's fine. I'm not interested in knowing any of you either way," Harvey said calmly. "The only reason I'm he
When Rita heard what Harvey had to say, her expression darkened and she yelled, "Harvey, can you please stop making things up? I've already given you the note, so can you please give up? What do you want if you keep on yapping?!"Harvey gave Rita a look. "Since you're willing to be here today, I believe you care about her. That's why I want you to tell me the truth. No matter what kind of trouble she's in, I can help her. However, you have to tell me everything."Rita rolled her eyes, her disdain evident. "I'll thank you on Yvonne's behalf, but there's no need to."She was smiling coldly when she said that. The person Yvonne would be marrying was someone very important from the Island Nation. What could a loser like Harvey do before someone so important? It didn't matter if Yvonne was willing to marry this important person. It was something the Xaviers of Wolsing had to do.And this loser from Buckwood wanted to interfere with their family matter? He had to be joking. No matter how
The long-haired woman looked at Harvey disdainfully, as if she had figured out the truth. "That was why you did everything possible to get into the Jean of Mordu. When you realize you can't, you think the Xaviers aren't half bad, too.""Unfortunately, you didn't know just how useless you are. You didn't understand one thing. But sometimes, the more you want things to change, the more it'll stay the same. All of this is but a fool's errand. There are things that you're born with, and if you don't have it, you're already hopeless in your life. So, you should just give up now. Forget about dealing with Yvonne. You can't even deal with your coming problem with South Ocean Restaurant. And your luck is so bad, too, since someone from the Wright family is just around!" The long-haired woman smirked derisively.Not far away, an old man wearing a suit who looked like a manager quickly walked over. From the looks of it, he had been doing this for a long time. Rita also noticed the old man and
The Wright of Wolsing had many daughters, but only one person was bestowed the nickname princess, and that was Sienna—the woman who could stand against Emery Wright within the Wright family. In many people's understanding, when she finally ascended, she would become the queen of the Wright family. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had the highest prestige among all the young ladies within Wolsing.But someone like Sienna was waiting for a country bumpkin like Harvey in Room Number One?How… How was that even possible?Rita narrowed her eyes, her voice slightly shaking. "Mr. Braff… Did you get the wrong person? He's just a country bumpkin from the south. How can he have the right to have breakfast with Princess Wright?"Mr. Braff glanced at Rita and replied coldly, "What? Should our princess ask for your permission before deciding who to have breakfast with? Who do you think you are to meddle in the Wright family's affairs?""I…" The corner of Rita's eye twitched. She knew
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
After meeting Emery, Harvey left Dragon Cell's office without looking back. As for how long Emery would be in his cell, Harvey did not expect much. It was already complicated to force someone like Emery to come in and cooperate when they had little clear evidence.Once back in his estate, Harvey immediately ordered George to use everything he could to find clues about Grand City. Everything that had happened this time had crossed Harvey's line. He had to go to Grand City no matter what. Other than taking over the Three Halls as per their promise, he also needed to settle the score regarding everything else.Once Harvey had organized everything and was going to have a drink in the courtyard, he saw a discreet Bentley appear outside his gate. The door opened, and a beautiful figure emerged from the vehicle. It was Sienna, the princess of the Wright family.Harvey was not that surprised when he saw Sienna's arrival. Instead, he stood up with a smile and said, "You have the time to come
"However, I'm not interested in that. I simply want to see how you will escape from this," replied Harvey to Emery with a chuckle. "Also, I can give you a clue. The one behind this is most likely your best friend, Dan. I wonder what you think after knowing that?"After that, Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked at Emery, trying to gauge whether his emotional state had changed.Emery tilted his head a little and asked in interest. "Why are you so sure that Dan is behind this?"Then, Harvey answered, "Because there's just too many coincidences. The people who did this are all related to you. Meanwhile, if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't use something simplistic and easily traceable back to you. If you analyze this from that angle, the person pulling the strings wanted to get me killed and also drag you down into the mud."And if this is how it all ended, then the person who will benefit the most from all this is, of course, the person pulling the strings, am I right? Not to mentio
After listening to what Harvey had said, Jesse was slightly taken aback. After that, he understood what Harvey meant. With things progressing to this stage, it did not matter if they met officially; they had already become enemies. If that were the case, they should have met using this chance. Perhaps, Dragon Cell might be able to find something out.When that thought crossed Jesse's mind, he picked up a walkie-talkie and said a few words. Then, he said to Harvey, "I can take you to Emery, but I hope you won't expose who you are. We will also turn off the security cameras when you speak with him. Hopefully, that will give you the results you want."Harvey calmly nodded.Five minutes later, Harvey was taken to a cell on basement level nine. There was no light within the cell, and it was extremely cold. In the middle of the cell, there was a metal chair. On top of the chair was a yellow lamp, but looking at its light alone could make one feel dizzy. While that was what others would fe
"She crushed her phone, right?" Harvey said as he looked at the evidence on the tray. "Since she needed to crush her phone, it meant there was something inside that had to remain hidden. Have you checked it?"Jesse shook his head. "My coworkers down in evidence did what they could, but this is a satellite phone. We can't check the record from the vendor. The one who destroyed the phone also destroyed the chip and the memory card. There's almost a zero percent chance of recovering the data from the phone."Harvey frowned. "Not only did she choose to die decisively, she even destroyed all the evidence. Which meant that everything she said to me before she died was meaningless. The testimony from the dead cannot be trusted."Harvey had also given his statement before this, hence why Jesse knew what Harvey was talking about."Are you sure the person behind this is Dan, Harvey? Or maybe, it's better if I said that Dan was the one that pushed all of this?"Harvey nodded. "That's what I
When the man leading the Dragon Cell members saw that Emery was willing to cooperate, he took a step forward and gave him a professional smile. "Hello, Mr. Emery. I am the captain of the Dragon Cell Task Force. You can call me Seven. This is my ID and other papers signed by the government."As you are now suspected of being involved in the murder of someone especially important in our country, we need you to cooperate with our investigation. I can also inform you that we have both evidence and witnesses. You may try to prove your innocence and do what you think is necessary, but you must go with us so we may have a good chat in Dragon Cell. If you refuse, you should understand that we have special privileges at certain times."The captain of the special task force pulled out the revolver he had with him and carefully put in a special bullet. When Emery saw this, the edge of his lips twitched. He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Since your ID and paperwork are complete, what else ca
Kyros' attention immediately turned to the screen linked to the security camera. He then saw men and women in uniforms with cold expressions right outside the door."Dragon Cell? One of the Four Pillars?" His face turned icy when they saw these people. He turned around and immediately slapped Royce in the face. "Look at what you did! Dragon Cell is here! We're both done for!"-At the estate belonging to the Wrights of Wolsing, a row of Toyota slowly drove in and stopped right in front of the estate's gates. While the cars weren't that lavish, the dark green color and the special plates explained their identities.The doors were opened, and dozens of men and women got out and walked calmly to the gate of the estate. At this time, whether it was the security guards at the gate or the defenders hiding in the darkness, they all frowned. Fear colored their faces when they saw the group appearing.The butler, who was quickly coming over to greet them, couldn't even say a word before he
