The deafening sounds of the propellers almost blew everyone away.A brief moment later, the crowd soon realized that there were armed military helicopters pointing white lights down at them.“Why would the military suddenly appear out of nowhere?”Everyone shared perplexed stares. Even Yonathan York was frowning slightly.With the connections and relationships he had in the military, how could a scene like this possibly occur?A short moment later, dozens of armed soldiers without symbols of their titles descended from the helicopters with ropes.The man that led them seemed to be very young. He swiftly walked toward Tobias Baker and bowed.“Mr. Baker, a batch of wounded soldiers were sent back from the Central America battlefield. Every single one of them is facing severe casualties. I’ve received orders to request you to operate on them as soon as possible. Please understand!”After he was finished talking, he did not waste another second and took Tobias Baker away.Immediat
“Sir, with your connections, how could a few foot soldiers take away someone from you?”Quinton York could not believe what he had heard.Yonathan York frowned. “That’s right. Normally speaking, no military force in South Light would dare to even offend me, but somebody actually made their move on us this time…”“Since he’s using new recruits, obviously he didn’t want to expose his identity.”Quinton York began to speculate.“Perhaps the military started having some qualms about us since Ethan Hunt is on our side now?”“Is some major family trying to oppose us?”“Or maybe, it’s that man…”Yonathan York frowned again. “There’s no evidence of anything right now. The thing is, their dignified excuse was that there were wounded soldiers who just came back to South Light from war, and that they needed to be operated…”“I’ve gotten news of what happened. There was indeed a conflict on a smaller scale. A couple dozen people from the neighbouring country died, and there were only a fe
The time until Grandma York’s birthday banquet was inching closer and closer. All of Buckwood was bathed in a joyous mood, as if the day was a public holiday.Almost all of Buckwood knew.The Yorks’ had incredibly high status in Buckwood, and were truly Buckwood’s top family.All the first-rated families in Buckwood agreed that an invitation to the Yorks’ birthday banquet was a big honor.Many people took pictures of their invitations immediately after they had gotten theirs, to show off their status and ranking.This showed the value and importance of Grandma York’s birthday banquet that the Yorks held up to. The publicity even did their part to prove that.Right before the day of the banquet, Xynthia Zimmer reluctantly brought home the invitations to the banquet.She had to spend a long time begging her godparents for them.Mandy Zimmer, on the other hand, was worried sick because of what had happened with Wayne York.She dared not attend Grandma York’s birthday, no matter w
Everyone was waiting in the living room while the celebration was still being prepared.There were champagne towers and western buffets free for them to enjoy.Harvey York and Xynthia Zimmer soon found some seats and sat down. “Harvey… Harvey York, is that you?”A voice called behind him.Harvey York turned around and saw a cold beauty approaching him.A few months had passed, but the aura between her eyes hadn’t changed one bit.Her teary eyes stared right at Harvey York. She was quite excited, and was barely holding back her emotions.The woman was from one of Buckwood’s top-rated families, Rosalie Naiswell of the Naiswell family.The two had interacted quite a bit during their time in Niumhi. Harvey York even gave her a ride before her departure from Niumhi.But after leaving Niumhi, the two hadn’t met for nearly three whole months.Even after arriving at Buckwood, Harvey York had been extremely busy. He did not have any intention of seeing her at the moment.“How could
Harvey York didn’t even flinch when facing the man’s ridicule.In his eyes, this clown had no meaning. Naturally, he wouldn’t care.Compared to the Yorks, this man was less than a speck of dust.After seeing Harvey York’s attitude, Rosalie had a slight change of mind.Three months ago, he seemed so full of spirit to her; a man who could reject her own invitation.How could he have possibly turned into someone who would simply swallow humiliation? Could a three month period change a man so easily?After taking a deep breath, Rosalie Naiswell reverted back to her icy demeanor.She glared at the man and snapped coldly, “Bruce Cloude. Whoever I date and befriend does not concern you now, does it?”“If you’re willfully insulting my friend again, don’t blame me for being hard on you!”Rosalie Naiswell spoke with the full aura and manner of a cold beauty.Bruce Cloude was her pursuer, after all. After her chiding, he did not speak another word. However, he grew to despise Harvey
Seeing Harvey York humiliated by two people who came out of nowhere, Xynthia Zimmer grew somewhat angry.She pulled on Harvey’s arm and snarled coldly, “The two of you who came out of nowhere!”“You’re just a bunch of shortsighted people!”“My brother-in-law is awesome! Especially compared to a wretched man like you!”“You think he’s scared of you?! He just doesn’t care about you!”“Because you’re just an ant to him!”In truth, Xynthia Zimmer had no clue of Harvey’s real identity.But a man who could buy her a property that cost a few hundred million dollars without batting an eye, a man who could purchase the Spinning Restaurant in Buckwood Tower, was not someone who could be provoked so easily by a clown like Bruce Cloude.“Oh, Harvey! What a cute sister-in-law you have!”Bruce Cloude wasn’t even perturbed. Instead, he gave them a scornful grin.“I’m an ant? Alright, I’ll admit it. In front of a man like Prince York, I am just an ant.”“But I, Bruce Cloude, am from the Clo
Rosalie Naiswell was a bit disappointed in Harvey York, but she did not immediately expose him. Instead, she exclaimed icily, “Harvey York. I did not believe in you before, but you had proved with your own strength that you were capable.”“Now, I want to see if you can do the same. Prove that you are right, and that you are actually capable!”Bruce Cloude chuckled coldly.“Since Rosalie wants this, I’ll be counting on it as well.”“Once you’ve taken over the Yorks, I’ll make sure to be your security team leader. Please give me a chance to do so when that happens, CEO York!”Harvey York actually treated that as an actual promise.He sized up Bruce Cloude for a while. “Right, a scrawny body like yours doesn’t look like you’ll be fit as the security team leader. But since I’ve already promised you, I’ll make sure you get the position.”“Make sure to get to the office on time.”At that, Bruce Cloude could not hold himself back anymore.He no longer had the intention to make fun of
Everyone looked at Joel Flynn weirdly after hearing his words.While he had proven the worth of the antique watch, it was still a dead man’s treasure.Not far behind, Harvey York’s expressions turned as cold as a raging blizzard.Xynthia Zimmer and Rosalie Naiswell subconsciously glanced at Harvey York.They both felt an undisguised aura of murderous intent in his gaze.Joel Flynn and Bruce Cloude, on the other hand, did not even put Harvey York in their eyes. None of them took notice of it.Right then, Harvey York’s heart was filled with the intent to kill.Not only did his good friend’s belongings get split between people, someone even prepared one as a gift to another person!Joel Flynn waved a hand, and his underlings carefully carried a safe box over.Rosalie Naiswell went over and gave a few glances at what was inside. She then quietly said, “That’s right, this is indeed the antique Patek Philippe watch.”Joel Flynn smiled after receiving her approval.“Right. If so, I
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
