No one could replace Yonathan’s position as the head of the Yorks, not even Harvey when he was at his peak.Even as the Yorks’ Famous Four took over most of the family’s authority, he still managed to retain his position as the family head with ease.This alone made evident how capable Yonathan York was.In fact, rumor had it that he represented the Yorks and fought through numerous major wars and battles in the past.A man like him may not have a widespread reputation in society, but his position among the inner Yorks was unimaginably high.He had complicated relationships with personnels from the armed forces. It was said that he even knew those who were dubbed as gods of war within the military. Ethan Hunt had undeniable control of the Sword Camp of South Light’s military, so Yonathan couldn’t use anyone working under Ethan Hunt. The same could not be said for the other soldiers. Yonathan could easily send any of them to do his bidding.At this moment, Yonathan spoke up wi
Yonathan York’s intense gaze scrutinized Quinton York for a brief moment. Then, he chuckled. “Ah, Quinton. I’ve almost forgotten that you’ve been making decisions for all the major family-related matters in these past few years…”“Now that you already have a plan in mind, naturally I won’t oppose it.”“I dare not accept such a compliment,” Quinton smiled lightly. “I’m just temporarily replacing you and wielding your authority as head of the family. I would gladly hand your power back to you anytime you wish for it.”Yonathan replied carelessly, “Since I’ve already passed my authority over to you, it’d be strange for me to take it back.”“I only hope that you’ll do all you can if you ever decide to face that man.”“Use my name and send a few letters to summon my old comrades, subordinates, and partners here…”At this, Quinton laughed quietly.Finally, the old man was now willing to use his secret connections.Although Quinton was unable to play with Harvey to his heart’s content
Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates treated Harvey York extremely well in recent days.Perhaps it was due to their guilt, or that they felt sorry toward Harvey.Harvey wasn’t fussed. Seeing Mandy doing well was enough to satisfy him.In the evening, Xynthia Zimmer visited the Gardens Residence.“Brother-in-law, let me tell you something big! I have good news!”Xynthia smiled.Harvey asked curiously, “Good news? Are you getting married?”“No way! Stop talking nonsense, okay? I don’t even have a boyfriend. Are you the one who’s going to marry me?”Xynthia alluded to something and glanced at Mandy with a guilty look.“What’s the good news?” Harvey asked. “Hurry up and say it.”Xynthia was ecstatic and hugged Harvey affectionately. “Try guessing, Brother-in-law! If you’re right, I’ll give you a kiss as a reward…”Something strange flashed through Xynthia’s eyes as she spoke.Harvey said indifferently, “I’m not interested in a little girl.”“You…” Xynthia was dissatisfied. She couldn
The next day.On the rare days that Mandy Zimmer was finally free, Xynthia Zimmer clamored about how she wanted to buy a new set of clothes. Thus, Mandy took Harvey York to go shopping with her little sister.Unfortunately, Xynthia had roving eyes and unique aesthetics. Despite going through several shopping malls, she still couldn’t find what she wanted.Although it was quite exhausting for Harvey, he liked this kind of life very much.Everything was simple. Shopping, eating, and drinking. For him, the ordinary life of the common folk was full of sunshine, different from one spent fighting one another in pursuit of power.Unfortunately, destiny dictated that it was impossible for him to enjoy such a life.While he enjoyed the experience, after shopping from early day until night, Harvey couldn’t stand it anymore.“I’m dying. We’ve been shopping the whole day and I still haven’t eaten anything. I can’t go on!”“Anyway, we have to eat first! Otherwise, I won’t shop anymore!”A
“Xynthia? She said she’s going to see her goddess and man-crush. She told us to go and eat first. She’ll come by herself later.”“She’s a big girl. She won’t be lost. Just let her be.”“You can go up first and have a rest.”Mandy Zimmer said, smiling. She saw that Harvey was a little irritable. “Alright.”Harvey didn’t talk too much. Instead, he went straight to the front of the elevator.Just when he was about to enter, a few security guards hurried over.“Both of you can’t get into the elevator!”The security said coldly, blocking them with his hand.Harvey frowned slightly. “Why?”“Today, all elevators can only be used by the staff and crew members. Ordinary people aren’t allowed!” The security guard explained. “This is to prevent paparazzi from getting in.”Harvey said indifferently, “This is the elevator leading to the Spinning Restaurant at Buckwood Tower. It has nothing to do with your event, right?”“Who told you that? Later, some big stars will be going to the Spi
“What do you mean?” Harvey York said indifferently.“The guests today are all major superstars. If something happens to any of them, can a peasant like you afford to pay the consequences?”The security chief questioned.Harvey said coldly, “If I remember correctly, this is a public place, right? Can’t I walk past the stage? None of this makes any sense.”“Normally you can, but not today!”The security chief spat coldly.“You’re arbitrarily taking up public resources. You even forbid the people to pass in a public place! You sure have a lot of power!” Harvey said, his voice deep. “Yes, we have great power. After all, we have big stars backing us! The money that they earned in just a few minutes of showing up is an amount you’d never make in your entire life!”“This is privilege!” The security chief shouted.Harvey sneered, “And what if I insist going over?”“You can try! This area is blocked off!”Soon, more than a dozen security guards came over. A total of thirty people s
Originally, Harvey’s expression was normal. When Yuna spoke to him in that way, he couldn’t help but reply in a frosty tone, “I just wanted to take the elevator to go up for a meal. You said that the area is blocked off and you wouldn’t let me go up.”“Fine, I’m not eating anymore.”“Now I want to go out, and you’re still blocking my way. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to fly out from here?”At Harvey’s words, Yuna spat coldly, “I don’t care how, but you better get out right this instant!”“Get out, is it?” Harvey nodded. “Let’s see who’ll be doing that!”When they heard Harvey’s bragging, Yuna and the rest burst into laughter.This guy was kicking them out? Was he out of his mind?Just when the managers were about to let security drive Harvey away, a few stars standing not far away came over. The fans began to cheer.Yuna hurriedly walked over towards the approaching stars.The man and woman who were leading at the front were extremely dazzling.Even as they stood
At this moment… Carter Coen was dumbfounded.Yvette Yanes was dumbfounded.Even Yuna Shaw was slightly startled.Doubly so for the security guards. In that very second, all of them fell into hushed silence.The middle-aged man who was acting so respectful toward Harvey was not just any person, but was in fact the general manager of Buckwood Tower. His position was equivalent to the owner of Buckwood Tower, yet he was so respectful in front of this man.Most importantly, those standing behind him could see his cold sweat soaking his clothes.This was simply unimaginable! Harvey had asked the person in charge of Buckwood Tower to get down within three minutes. In the end, the man really did come down within three minutes.Previously, Yuna dared to be arrogant in front of Harvey. Now, she dared not.She and the other celebrities’ managers knew how things worked in this circle. They understood all too well the power of money. In front of ordinary people, they had privilege an
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
