Leslie completely ignored Kaitlyn’s provocation. She resorted to staring at Vince, who was calmly sipping his tea, with a dark look on her face.“I’d like to ask you something, Young Lord Vince.”“Are you taking me back to the police station? I already told you everything last night. I just happened to be there. Besides, I mediated the conflict for the sake of Hong Kong’s safety. Even if you don’t give me a Good Citizen Award, you can’t just keep trying to defame me now, can you?”If it were any other occasion, Leslie would’ve dropped the conversation after hearing the rage in Vince’s words, but it was different that day. She took a deep breath and said, “Young Lord York, I’m here to ask you why you killed Naoto and framed Harvey for it.”“Naoto’s dead?”Confusion showed on Vince’s face. He didn’t seem like he was pretending at all.“Didn’t I get the doctors from my family to treat him at Edward Hospital last night? How did he even die?”Leslie looked at Vince closely for a lo
But no matter the status, it didn’t matter at this very moment. Ellis stood up with a smile on his face.“Don’t worry, Young Lord York. We’ve contacted the Shinkage Way through my family’s connections. I heard that the Elder of the Shinkage Way, Maki Takei, will arrive here at night along with his son and daughter, Makoto and Rumiko Takei. They’ll surely seek justice for their loved one, Naoto.”Vince let out a deceitful sigh.“Sigh. This is just unfair. The government wouldn’t even enforce the law these days. Us citizens will have to rely on ourselves. We have truly let down our friends from the Island Nations! Receive our important guests in my place, Ellis. Give them whatever they ask for. Of course, make sure that you’re clean. Don’t leave any trails behind.”Ellis narrowed his eyes in return.“Of course, Young Lord York. The Parson family makes a living out of water transportation. Even if some things were to leak out, there won’t be any traces leading back to us.”Vince nod
Tack tack tack!Harvey casually sent out a text while he moved forward. He came to the morgue that was located at the end of the hallway.There were two inspectors of Hong Kong Police Station standing at the doorway. They knew who Harvey was, so they nodded before letting Harvey inside.Leslie had put her hair up while wearing white medical gloves inside the morgue, showing her sleek neckline. When Harvey got closer, she was in the midst of carefully inspecting the wound on Naoto’s throat. Since she had all of her attention on Naoto’s body, she didn’t even realize that she was showing a lot of skin on her chest.Harvey calmed himself down before moving forward.“Leslie, why are you doing the coroners’ job for them? How are they supposed to react when they find out?”Leslie stopped what she was doing and glanced at Harvey. The simple gaze was filled with all the charm in the world.“An autopsy report has already been released. We’ve gathered all the evidence at the crime scene to
“Mr. York is my friend, Doctor. Please make an exception for him.”“Make an exception? I can’t do such a thing!”The forensic scientist scoffed coldly. After seeing the badge on Leslie’s chest, she froze slightly.“So you’re Ms. Clarke. But even so, you can’t start breaking the rules here! Itt’s fine if you want to let Mr. York in here, but he has to register for his entry first.”Harvey narrowed his eyes slightly before smiling warmly at the forensic scientist.“No problem. If that’s the case, I’ll head there right now. Where can I find the registration room?”The forensic scientist walked out of the door and pointed Harvey to the registration room.“It’s right there. There’s a sign outside. A doctor named Shaun Sorell will be in charge of registration. Just go look for him.”“Thanks, Doctor.”Harvey nodded before heading toward the empty hallway.After seeing Harvey leave, the forensic scientist then shifted her gaze toward the two inspectors.“Ow!”The forensic scientist
“Rest assured. I won’t make it hard for you. Young Lord York already warned us about it. Even though your family has already joined forces with Harvey, for Young Lord York’s sake, we can only take you hostage at most. We won’t hurt you one bit. That’s why you better cooperate with me. Don’t try to resist. If not, I’m sorry if I accidentally leave a scratch on your pretty face!”Rumiko calmly pulled out a dagger. She wanted to take Leslie down before using the chance to threaten Harvey.Swoosh!Right at this moment, a person rolled off Naoto’s body cart before stabbing Rumiko right in her stomach.Splat!Blood violently spurted out of Rumiko’s mouth before she instinctively moved backward. There was no time for her to even react to the situation. She never thought that there would be another person in the room other than Leslie and her.It was too late to regret her decision. She tried to run out of the morgue since there was no time for her to question Leslie.Slap!Another per
“That’s why I decided to send Toby a text. A sly old fox like him surely knows what to do in this situation. When you came here as a fake forensic scientist, I didn’t know if you were the killer or not, but I still kept a close eye on you. The rest is history.”Harvey seemed extremely casual about the whole situation.“No one tried to catch you off guard. You were just too stupid. You get me?”“You…”Rumiko was shocked. She didn’t think that Harvey saw through her well-laid plan from the start.Everything she did was nothing more than a circus show!“D*mn you!”Even though she was being looked down on, she didn’t back down at all. Enraged, she gritted her teeth tightly.“Not only did you kill my brother, but you also crippled me. Let me tell you something. My family will chase you down to the ends of the earth! Kill me now if you dare! If you don’t, I’ll bring an army to dispose of you next time! My family doesn’t tolerate humiliation! Come on! Kill me! Kill me right now!”Har
In the evening, at the Grand Hotel.The place was named the Grand Hotel, but it was in fact the only funeral parlor of Hong Kong. The place provided food, shelter, along with other services. Many villas were located there as well, primarily used to accommodate the dignitaries.After Naoto’s autopsy report was released, he was immediately sent here to occupy a spot in the corner of the courtyard.The courtyard was serene. The environment was truly a pleasing sight.After Naoto’s body was sent here, the entire family had been staying at the same place. Other than Maki and his two children, he also brought every single elite of the family over. Clearly, he was not going to rest until he brought justice for his dead son.Seven o’clock at night.A black Maybach quietly showed up in front of the courtyard, facing the mourning hall with white lanterns decorating the place. A few Briewood Gang elites walked out after the car doors opened. A grim young lady came out soon after.Even thou
Makoto’s tone was cold and distant. He caressed the longsword in front of him with his right hand.“This time, no matter how powerful the people standing behind him may be—no matter who he is and what he’s capable of, we’ll make sure that he gives us a fair statement! Harvey must die! The Takei family and the Shinkage Way will not let a hero spill his blood in vain!”Naturally, in Makoto’s eyes, Naoto was a hero.After hearing his words, the Islanders, who were kneeling on both sides of the mourning hall, had righteous and fierce expressions on their faces. Quite a lot of them were even wearing headbands with the word “revenge” on them. They seemed like they would not stop until Harvey was annihilated once and for all.Carol’s expression didn’t change after seeing the brimming hatred the Islanders had for Harvey. Deep down, she was elated. Not only was the Briewood Gang completely disrespected, the Lion King was killed off as well. It was safe to say that they suffered great losses
"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
