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
Right now, Yonathan York, Quinton York, and the higher ups within the Yorks grew slightly anxious.Naturally, they realized that this man was none other than Harvey York.They could only helplessly watch as the man that they had forced away out of Buckwood three years ago stood right in front of them, fully intact.Even to the point of saying something so provocative…Was this his way of provoking the prestige of the York family?If it weren’t for the fact that today was the birthday banquet, and if this was a different occasion, there would already be people ready to take Harvey York down.After all, there were too little opportunities of Harvey York being alone.Maybe there would be no other chances to take him down if they missed this one.Just then, Harvey York let out a small chuckle.“It’d be best if nobody was actually crippled.”“After all, I heard that a famous doctor, Tobias Baker was taken to the border to operate on wounded soldiers. I don’t think he’ll be back so
Grandma York’s banquet had officially begun. The guests all sat on their seats in order.Grandma York sat in a box on her own, looking noble yet mysterious.The guests, on the other hand, have their own own seats in the venue.The invitation that Xynthia Zimmer had received did not enable her to sit that far ahead, but a seat back in the middle row.Harvey York did not mind that much. He went ahead and sat down beside Xynthia Zimmer.As for Rosalie Naiswell, Bruce Cloude, and the rest were sitting in the middle seats that were near to the front rows.The front most seats were reserved for the people with the highest statuses.The people that attended the banquet that day had come from different types of businesses and backgrounds.Government officials, mob circles, people in the military, and even the people in business circles were there. All of them had high statuses.This was enough to prove how terrifying the Yorks’ connections and influence were.The top-rated family in
The front row seats were almost filled up when the big characters were all introduced one by one.But there was still a spot empty in the middle.Everyone knew that there was only one man capable of sitting there from previous events.And that was the legendary Prince York!However, today, it would be different.This day, the seat was for the head of the four Gods of War in South Light!The man that could work side by side with the first-in-command, Lieutenant Colonel Ethan Hunt’s seat!Even though Ethan Hunt was just a lieutenant colonel, his authority had far surpassed expectations.Yonathan York looked at the crowd’s faces full of anticipation, then smiled and exclaimed, “Everyone, please give your loudest applause to the head of the four Gods of War, the lieutenant colonel of the Sword Camp, Ethan Hunt!”Clap, clap, clap, clap!The crowd’s applause sounded like lightning striking the ground.‘Ethan Hunt is here!’‘His status in South Light is too high!’‘The Sword Camp
Joel Flynn carried the gift box with both hands and walked to Ethan Hunt’s side with a look of awe on his face, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd.Yonathan York then introduced the gift.“This is a gift for Lieutenant Colonel Ethan. It’s a limited-edition Patek Philippe antique sports watch.”“This watch has a history that spans a hundred years, and this is one of a kind. It’s truly priceless!”“For the Yorks, we feel only something like this could fit Lieutenant Colonel Ethan’s status!”“Please don’t misunderstand us, Lieutenant Colonel Ethan!”“Everyone who attends the banquet tonight will receive an expensive gift!”“These are the rules in South Light, and also rules for the Yorks. Even more so, it’s the main goal for this birthday banquet!”“This has nothing to do with anything else.”“Rest assured, people won’t spread word about you keeping this gift. Just treat it as a souvenir.”Naturally, the Yorks were paying their fullest respects for Ethan Hunt.Whether there
For Yonathan York, the fact that his own blood-related son was noticed by a big shot like Ethan Hunt was definitely something to be celebrated.There might even be a possibility for his own son to take over his position as the family head in the future.But it was not good news at all for Quinton York on the other hand.In his eyes, Ethan Hunt was someone honorable who’s invited through Yonathan’s connections.And now that Ethan specifically mentioned Wayne York, so what could this possibly mean?However, those were just thoughts that just briefly flashed across Yonathan and Quinton’s minds, they felt more excited than ever at the present moment.Now that Ethan said something like that, no matter who he was going to support amongst the Yorks, it’s already certain that he’s showing support to the York family.The spectators down the stage wouldn’t care about the internal conflict within the York family.What they saw was just the Yorks showing off right that moment.Showing off
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
