Harvey’s socks and shoes were taken off. His belt was pulled away, too. Yet, they found nothing.Bryan’s expression of arrogance gradually changed into disbelief. He exclaimed grimly, “Impossible! The diamond must be with him!” Lenny frowned. He kicked the security personnel away and searched Harvey by himself.The other security personnel then went through all the nooks and crannies in the entire hall. However, they found nothing.After more than ten minutes of active searching, they became downcast and exchanged gloomy looks. Even if they found the diamond in a corner, they could still frame Harvey.But now, there was nothing. What could they do?Lenny’s eyes fell on Bryan.Noticing this, Bryan frowned and nodded.Lenny took a deep breath and called in a few more security personnel, including the female ones.“Search!”“The suspect may have hidden it in someone else’s body. Everyone has to be searched!”“If he stole the diamond, then his fingerprints must be on it!”S
“Well, now. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation, Manager Thompson?” Harvey asked calmly.Lenny, who was about to leave, stopped and glared at Tamara, his incompetent friend. He then took a deep breath and said coldly, “What do you mean, Harvey?”“She has just admitted that she put the diamond in my pocket in an attempt to frame me.”“You should explain that to me, shouldn’t you?”Harvey continued. He wore a hollow, indifferent smile.“Did she? Did Miss Ebony just say that?” Lenny pretended to look surprised. “Did any of you hear it?”Bryan was the first to stand up and said, “No, we didn’t hear it!”“Yes, Miss Ebony is the victim! How could she put the diamond in your pocket?”“Not to mention, you don’t really have it in your pocket. How can you say that she’s accusing you?”Steven countered eloquently.Tamara took the opportunity to backpedal on her mistake and screamed angrily, “Stop getting ahead of yourself, York! It was just a slip of the tongue!”“The reason you could
“Harvey! Enough!”Kait finally spoke.“Tonight’s my birthday dinner. I don’t want to see blood.”“Fine. For my girlfriend’s sake, I won’t kill you.” Harvey stepped forward and slapped him again, sending his cruel words back to him.After that, he looked at Lenny with an indifferent expression. “You seem to have just said that you’d give me an explanation.”“How are you going to explain now?”“I won’t give you a hard time. Just follow the rules of Paramount, as you’ve so graciously mentioned to me repeatedly.”Lenny was intimidated by Harvey’s aura. He blurted out, “According to the rules, the thief will have to cut off one finger, and those who took part in framing will receive the same punishment.”Harvey patted Lenny’s face lightly and said, “Then, follow the rules. I’m waiting for your justification.”Bryan and Tamara’s faces turned pale.Bryan covered his face and yelled, “How dare you hit me, York! Just wait, I’ll kill you!”“You’ve no idea, but my elder brother is th
In less than three minutes…A group of tall and burly bodyguards walked into the hall. All of them looked powerful. They seemed like the type that punched hundreds of pounds.Harvey sipped some juice as he studied the bodyguards with narrowed eyes. He could tell at a glance that these people were great fighters from the streets.Lenny held his head after seeing them coming. His spiteful glare fell on Harvey.A bald man marched forward. He seemed to be more than six foot tall. He didn’t have any eyebrows, but his skin was extremely pale, and he carried with him a strange fierceness.He stepped forward and threw a casual glance at Harvey. He then picked up a bottle of red wine and started drinking.After downing more than half of the bottle, he narrowed his eyes at Harvey and sneered, “Boy, I heard that you dared to hit our Manager Thompson’s head in Paramount. This is our turf, you know. You’ve got guts!”Harvey said nonchalantly, “Thank you for the compliment.”The bald man nar
A man in a white suit, looking incomparable pompous, emerged from the crowd and approached Harvey in an instant.He was a true master. He was Big Fly’s bodyguard, and had helped Big Fly fight through many bloody battles in Mordu.He pulled out a military dagger and swung it directly at Harvey’s throat.“Ah!”A burst of shocked exclamations came from the watching crowd. No one had expected that things would develop to this point.Harvey might die here tonight!Xynthia gasped in fright. “Brother-in-law, be careful!”Unfortunately, no one heard her words.“Too weak!”Just as the military dagger was about to touch Harvey, Harvey smiled faintly. He stretched out two fingers and caught it with ease.Clang!A crisp sound.The imposing white suited man’s figure fell into an abrupt pause. The killing intent on his face seemed to freeze.“How can this be?!”His military dagger was caught so easily by Harvey. Harvey’s grip was so strong, making him unable to advance even one step.
Big Fly never expected that his trump card, the capable fighters he brought tonight, were nothing when facing this young man.His skills were simply terrifying!Rarely had Big Fly seen a man with such prowess, despite being in Mordu’s streets for so many years.However, he was indeed one of the big bosses of the streets. After his defeat, he didn’t intend to rally anyone.He knew very well that at this moment, it was impossible for his men to win against Harvey. That is, unless he called Denzel Washington or Lucas Jean for help.However, he would face the greatest shame if he actually involved those two big shots for such a trivial matter.Thinking this, Big Fly held back his anger and said with the politest tone he could manage, “I’ll turn a blind eye on the matter tonight. But rest assured, we’ll meet again.”Harvey couldn’t care less. “Apologize, and give me a satisfactory justification.”“I’m sorry. I was reckless tonight!”So saying, Big Fly proceeded to cut off Lenny,
In spite of it, Bryan and Tamara were silent. Denzel Washington of Mordu was certainly no ordinary person.He managed to survive among the top powers, and his management of Paramount was a testament to his prowess. “Brother Denzel!”When Bryan saw Denzel put down the bow and arrow, he immediately stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for Denzel.“I heard you went out to compete with the archery master of Island Nation. Judging from your performance just now, you must have defeated that so-called archery master, right?”“I doubt there’s anyone in Mordu who could rival you!”Denzel was indifferent. “Advice from others may help to overcome one’s shortcomings. Although the heritage of the Islanders isn’t as good as the great Country H’s, their killing skills had already reached the peak after a thousand years of development.”“Although my archery opponents were true masters, I still feel that it isn’t enough.”“It’s rumored that there is a Sword Saint in Island Nation. Hopef
Bryan took a deep breath and quickly recovered his emotions. “Brother Denzel, this is what happened!”He narrated to Denzel last night’s unfortunate series of events. He ended his story with an aggrieved note, “Brother Denzel, it’s not that I couldn’t do anything. But that brat certainly has some abilities!”“Even your number one underling, Big Fly, was almost killed by him!”“In the end, he even made Big Fly break my finger!”“Brother Denzel, I’m pretty sure the other party isn’t giving you face at all. You must preside over justice for me!”“Where did the other party come from?” Denzel glanced at Bryan, who was deeply embarrassed. “Since he dares to stir up trouble in Paramount, he must have some sort of background, no?”Bryan’s eyelids twitched. “Young Master Washington, I’ve already checked it last night. The other party has no background. He’s just a security guard with good skills.”“Brother Big Fly also suffered some loss last night. I was afraid that things would be trou
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
