“What? Aren’t you going to shoot?”Harvey swung his feet around and crossed his legs, his face still blank and expressionless. The inspector was both scared and enraged at the same time. In the end, he decided to sit down.The other inspector, who had short hair, lit up a cigarette and took a huff. He blew the smoke against Harvey’s face.“Harvey, right?” he asked coldly.“We already know what happened.”“You were threatening the victim at the Malone family’s evening banquet, saying that you’ll blacklist her!”“At least twenty people from the scene testified that you said those words. There is no way for you to deny that fact.”Harvey shrugged.“Didn’t your squad leader say that you should be taking care of me? Are you doing that at all?” Harvey teased calmly.“If a random conversation can turn into criminal evidence, cases all over the world would be much easier now, wouldn’t it?”“You’re saying that you won’t confess?!” the inspector barked harshly.Harvey smiled and rep
“The victim didn’t believe you could actually do such a thing. And so, you had her look at your villa to prove your strength.”“Using your hundred and fifty million dollar mansion, you were able to bring immense psychological damage to the victim.”“After going back to the Malone family’s villa, you threatened the victim to go inside your room to take advantage of her in the shower.”“Because of what you did, the victim felt extremely humiliated and decided to end her own life.”“This is exactly what happened!”“There are even witnesses and evidence to prove it!”“Are you still not going to confess, Harvey York?!”Kristan acted very righteously, as if everything happened just as he said.Harvey clapped his hands in amazement.“Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!” Harvey said, utterly astonished.“I thought only TV shows have such plots. I didn’t expect you to come up with better stories, Squad Leader Duncan!”“But is it fine if I list out a few discrepancies about your deductio
“If you’re saying that I don’t have the right to do so, I believe you’ll have my legal letter soon enough.”“You’re restricting a basic human right, after all.”Harvey smiled faintly, then took a nonchalant sip out of the paper cup on the table.Kristan sized up Harvey and snarled, “As expected from a smart criminal. You know the country’s laws pretty well!”“But since you know the law, why did you do it?!”“Let me tell you right now: the evidence here is solid proof! You won’t get out of here, no matter how much you know!”“Don’t think that I’ll protect you just for my cousin’s sake!”“Forget protecting you, I’ll do my best to get you punished terribly!”“Only through that can I show my respect to the law!”Kristan was acting all high and mighty, just to stop Harvey from clinging onto him.But just like before, Harvey only laughed.“It’s not that I don’t look up to you, Squad Leader Kristan. But you can’t protect me at all.”“I’m telling you again, I’m going to make a phon
“According to my knowledge, the only person within Mordu named Lynch is the first-in-command, Benjamin Lynch! You’re not going to tell me you called Sir Lynch himself now, are you?”Kristan sized up Harvey with an icy glare, trying to expose Harvey.“If Sir Lynch really was the one that took your call, I’ll eat my entire phone!”Following Kristan’s mockery, the other two inspectors also looked at Harvey in disgust.‘Is a murder suspect trying to pretend that he’s some hot shot?’‘Does he think he can fix the problem just by calling someone?’‘What a joke!’Harvey smiled faintly, not bothered to give any straight answers.“I did call Master Lynch.”“He said he’ll send his most trusted subordinate to solve this problem.”“You idiot! You dare try to lie to us?!”Kristan shot Harvey a glare of utter loathing.“Sir Lynch is Mordu’s first-in-command, but he never gets involved with the police!”“If you’re looking for someone to cling onto in the police force, you should’ve calle
Inside the interrogation room… Harvey was calmly drinking the premium green tea in front of him, taking care not to show too much emotion.The chief inspector of Mordu Central Police Station was standing in front of him respectfully. “Sir York, Sir Lynch asked me to come here.”“He’s currently having a meeting at Wolsing, which is why he isn’t able to come right now. Please pay no mind.”“He already told me that your problems are his own. I’ll be sure to give you a justification for everything.”Otis’ attitude was quite proper. As a well-known person serving under Benjamin, Otis had already heard of Harvey. He also knew that Benjamin and his wife owed Harvey quite a lot.Despite being an immensely powerful man within the government of Mordu, Otis could not afford to be arrogant.Kristan and the rest of the inspectors watched from far away, almost stumbling to the ground. If they knew Harvey had such a strong support, they wouldn’t dare show off in front of him.Harvey smiled
Harvey rubbed his head and sighed.These two pieces of evidence wouldn’t work as solid proof when separated.But when linked together, irrefutable evidence was formed.Hector’s scheme was indeed quite interesting.Otis suddenly thought of something.“Right, Sir York. Something strange happened in Mordu Police Station last night.”Harvey nodded, signaling Otis to keep talking.Otis frowned.“One of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, Hector, showed up and announced that he would use all his power to bail you out.”“He would even change other people’s testimonies just for you.”“The condition was for Ms. Xavier to dine with him.”Harvey froze momentarily after hearing Otis’ words before chuckling lightly.“Seems like Young Master Thompson doesn’t disappoint.”“Not only does he kill people, but he also also takes advantage of other people’s weaknesses.”“What do you mean by that, Sir York?” Otis quietly asked.“If Yvonne agrees to the deal, I’d be bombarded by the press as s
Harvey York said indifferently, “It is really hard to exonerate me with the current evidence.“However, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.“I think your investigation has gotten into a dead end. Everyone is investigating me, thinking that I’m guilty, and making assumptions about me.“But no one went to investigate Miwa Fujihara. Maybe this so-called victim also has other clues and pieces of evidence on her?“Sometimes, even the dead can speak.”Apparently, Harvey had already thought of a breakthrough. It was just that he would not say it in front of others.Harvey would only tell Otis Kye after making sure that he was credible.“Letting the dead speak?”Otis was taken aback for a moment and was a little confused.Harvey dipped a little tea from the teacup using his finger and then slowly wrote a word on the table.Otis was a little dazed when he spoke just now. However, he came to realize it soon and understood it.“Young Master York, you definitely know exactly what to do!“
Harvey York smiled faintly and said, “It’s certainly an honor to be known by the second-in-command of Mordu.”Zeke Smith replied coldly, “Wipe that smirk off your face!“I know about you and Yvonne Xavier.“It’s also because of you that my niece is on bad terms with the Smith family and resists going on a blind date with Hector Thompson.“If it was like the old times, I won’t even bother with you young people and your affairs. You can even do whatever you like.“But it’s different now. You’re a suspect. I hope that you can stay away from Yvonne from now on.“So that you wouldn’t hurt her and yourself!”Zeke looked cold. A countryman who managed to make a little money by luck in Buckwood…Not only did he refuse to give a satisfactory explanation after getting involved in the murder, but he also wanted to get in through the back door?Zeke certainly looked down on such a person at heart.Harvey squinted, and said indifferently after sizing up Zeke carefully, “Mr. Smith, no matt
"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
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
