"Very well. Since there are no objections… We shall begin the trial," the Yamaraja said as he looked at Mandy."Mandy. You are the operator of the underground fighting arena, are you not?""Yes," Mandy said as she nodded her head. "To be exact, the Ninth branch is operating the ring.""Good. Then, when Durandal took his men to your underground fighting arena and won hundreds of millions, is that why you hate him?" asked Justitia with coldness in her eyes. "That was true in the very beginning," explained Mandy. "You must have known that the Ninth Branch had some big issues regarding our cash flow, and we have been dependent on the underground fighting arena. In the beginning, when Durandal won so much money and provoked our guests against us, of course, I hated him."However, Harvey came and helped us later on. Not only did Harvey make him lose all the money he previously won, and then some. He managed to solve our cash flow issue because of that. Harvey even severed Durandal's ar
Harvey then took out his mobile, connected it to the court's system, and played a video. In the video, he was either reading a book or drinking from his cup. The clock and everything behind him could prove his whereabouts at that time."I also have documents from the country's reputable institutions that can prove the time, location, and date. They can also prove that my clip is unedited. This is my alibi. If you say that your video can prove I'm the culprit, then my video can refute that."Lanny could not help but yell, "Stop lying, Harvey! You're the one in the video!""Just because you're stupid doesn't mean we're all stupid," argued Harvey calmly. "If I really am going to murder Durandal, the first thing I'm doing is to take out the security cameras. Even if I don't, I should wear a mask, right? Not only did I not prepare anything, but I even showed my face before leaving so the camera could capture my face… Who would do something as stupid as this?"Lanny paused briefly, askin
Yamaraja's voice became gentler as he spoke to the nurse, "Don't be afraid. We have asked you to reveal who the murderer was from that night. Simply follow your heart. Once this is done, we shall do as we promised. We will help your family migrate to a place where no one knows you and give you enough to live the rest of your days peacefully."The woman took a deep breath and quickly nodded after she heard that. Then, she took a few steps in front and carefully observed the six masked figures who looked similar. After looking at everyone, her sigh quickly fell on Harvey. Then, she lightly said, "I think it's him. Because that night, when he spoke to me, he also looked at me with such callous eyes. They're still like water, and I couldn't feel anything at all…"Upon hearing the woman's testimony, all eyes fell on Harvey.Then, Yamaraja coldly asked, "Harvey, how do you plea?"Harvey smiled and removed his mask, then sat back down. "Are you sure the person you met is me?"The woman n
Harvey did not waste his breath and immediately dashed to the woman's side and immediately bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood on her forehead. After Harvey had done that, the woman's condition seemed to have improved slightly, and she also stopped shaking."Where's the knife?!" Harvey asked one more time. After some hesitation, Blade gave Harvey the longsword he had. Harvey grabbed the longsword and then sliced open her palms, the soles of her feet, and then her back.Initially, Lanny and the others did not believe Harvey's actions would be effective. However, they soon noticed that as Harvey performed each action, the woman's twitching became weaker and less frequent.And then, the moment Harvey cut the woman's forehead, a talisman immediately flew out from inside.The talisman seemed to have a mind of its own and immediately attacked Harvey. However, just as it was going to reach Harvey's forehead, Harvey immediately stabbed the talisman using the tip of the sword onto t
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
“An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?” Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’ Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the

Harvey focused his eyes before sighing. "Does that mean I owe him one too?""Yes," replied Ethan with a heavy heart."Alright. Since I owe him one, and so did the entire country, then I'm going to get involved. Once the joint trial ends, I'll enter Grand City and find out the truth for his sake."After hearing that, Ethan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lanny and the others with pity. Those who framed Harvey were going to have a taste of their own medicine soon.Ethan believed that once Harvey entered Grand City, all the seven families would never be able to rest well ever again…The others did not know what was going through Harvey's mind. But when they saw Geoffrey appear, Samuel greeted him with a smile. As for Lanny, Clarion, and the others, they all sighed in relief, as if they had finally seen their messiah.It was five in the morning.It was the time when people succumbed to sleep the easiest and psychologically most susceptible.The joint trial officially began in the u
Harvey glanced at Lexie and spoke calmly, "Lexie, you're here to represent Dragon Palace, not HL Casino. When you're representing the casino, you can do whatever you want. But if you still act so willfully when representing Dragon Palace, what do you think will happen?"After hearing Harvey's words, Lexie responded, "Since I'm the wife of the leader of Dragon Palace, my husband will be able to shield me from whatever I caused. Just because he can't give me anything else, he can at least give me the right to do what I want, no?"Harvey smiled. "Then, I hope you can be as confident as ever."Lexie's figure quickly disappeared into the underground city. Jesse approached Harvey and nodded at him. "We meet again. But I'm not here to speak with you, so I'll make it short. I'll maintain the fairness of the law here. If you're innocent, then the person who framed you will be paying an unimaginable price. But if you're guilty, then I'll kill you before you suffer from too much pain before yo
At this time, Lanny was standing at the highest spot in the Forbidden Wasteland with her hands behind her back, but her mind was filled with helplessness.They were in huge trouble now!If only they invoked the Grand City's laws and rules, then they had a 100% chance of giving Harvey the guilty verdict. And if she managed to invite everyone on her list and everyone from the Four Pillars were their own, then she could still somewhat manipulate the outcome.But when Lanny was making her calls, she noticed that everyone important she managed to contact either immediately hung up on her or totally ignored her calls.Someone like her had always been able to catch the drift. And from these details, she could tell that while the Four Pillars might not stand with Harvey, they would be completely neutral when it came to dealing with this.If things develop that way, then the chances of convicting Harvey was a 50% chance.Lanny wanted to leave and get reinforcements from Grand City. But sh
"Dan! There's no need for you to be so pretentious and act like you're innocent!" Besides the sternness in Sienna's voice, her tone was sharp, as if she wanted to turn Dan into minced meat.Dan pretended to think about it a little before smiling, "Oh, don't tell me you're here for that Harvey? I believe an outsider wouldn't affect our relationship, would it?"Sienna coldly replied, "I can understand your fury when someone from Grand City died, and that person is your cousin. That's why I didn't stop you… I even supported you when you said you wanted to take Harvey away for an investigation. Because I believe that, as the Young Master of Parkerville, you will naturally learn everything you can about this."But I didn't expect that your sight could be so narrow… It is so narrow that it defies my expectations. You haven't even started the investigation yet and have already set up a trap for him? And you even drew the attention of the Sword Camp and the leader of Dragon Cell? You're rea
The Xaviers. Wolsing.Nashon was playing chess by himself. Sitting across him was Jesse with a grim expression. "I'll represent Dragon Cell to go to the Forbidden Wasteland this time. What are your orders?"Nashon's hand lifting a chess piece was stopped momentarily before saying, "What do you mean by orders? Dragon Cell represents justice in our country. Since we're attending it as part of the joint trial, of course, we need to be just and fair. Not only must we do this, but we also can't turn this into our weakness. Our relationship with Harvey is quite close. If there are any doubts in the verdict, not only will it be bad for us, but it will also be bad for Harvey."Jesse's expression was dark before he replied, "Is it possible for Harvey to actually kill Durandal?"Nashion calmly asked, "What are your thoughts?"At the same time, at the Yorks of HL Casino in HK City. Lexie had just finished bathing and putting cream on her body to exfoliate the dead skin. At this time, an old-
