“He saved you?Rohan Hoffman gave a light chuckle.“Are you talking about your pregnancy?“What a benevolent man!”Rohan seemed like he was lost in thought.Lola Hoffman frowned.“Stop spouting nonsense.“Sir York cared for me to ensure Saul Robbins and I have a baby.“He practically saved me, didn’t he?”“Sure.Rohan clapped his hands.“That said, I brought ten well-known doctors and all sorts of medicine for you to regulate your body…“Does that count as saving you too?”“Of course, but…”“No buts.Rohan just smiled.“Since we both saved you…“His favor doesn’t matter anymore now, does it?“You’re not allowed to get involved no matter what I do.“Besides, Harvey incapacitated Kalel Hoffman. Kalel is a crucial puzzle piece for us in the underworld.“Because of him, the Hoffman family’s well-laid plans are gone! We suffered huge losses because of what he did!“I’m planning to repay the favor no matter what.“If not, how is the family supposed to survive in the und
Lola Hoffman took a deep breath before chuckling at herself.“So, you’re saying the family event is just an excuse to attack us?“Everything that we’ve discussed to work with the Patel family and the Hermit Families…“Is just wishful thinking?”Rohan Hoffman heaved a sigh.“I looked into everything you’ve told me, Lola.“Working with you people and working with the John family comes with the same benefits for the family.“Since that’s the case, I naturally have to side with Young Master John.“After all, he belongs to the top ten families.“Of course, I don’t need to side with him either…“But you can’t convince me with just your mouth now, can you?“Sometimes, the mouth down there’s a lot more convincing too…”Rohan leaned closer toward Lola with burning passion in his eyes.Lola instinctively stepped back.“Are you insane?!“I’m pregnant!”Rohan burst into laughter.“That’s right! You are!“I’ve been with countless women my whole life!“But I’ve never been with a p
Bam!The door was kicked open.Capri John came in with her arms folded before sizing up Harvey York.“My dear Sir York…“What is it that you want to complain about?”Harvey pointed at the food before him with a smile.“I know I’m the suspect, but I at least have the right to perform basic human functions, right?“How dare you treat me with food that’s been sitting out here for days?“Aren’t you scared of embarrassing yourselves?“Besides, who knows if you’ll get to keep your position when I tell everyone you’ve been torturing me like this?”“Just eat the damn thing, Harvey,” replied Capri coldly.“If you don’t want to, then just starve.“As for doing anything when you’re outside, you shouldn’t entertain that thought.“Do you think you’ll have a chance to get out after coming in?”Harvey merely shrugged.“I can get out whenever I want to.”“That’s right. You represent the country’s Martial Arts Alliance.Capri gave a cold chuckle.“I wouldn’t be able to do much if you’
Capri John showed a look of admiration.“Impressive. I didn’t expect you’d be able to remain calm under these circumstances.“Your title’s well-deserved, I see.”Harvey York smiled.“You and I both know that Kalel Hoffman being disabled has nothing to do with me.“No matter what Rohan brings as evidence, there’ll surely be faults in all of them.“Since that’s the case, I’ll just have to deal with him before demanding the police for an explanation. You’ll beg me to leave after that.“Why would I waste my trump card on something like this?”Capri froze before showing an intense look.“Are you that confident that no one can deem you guilty?”“Country H is a lawful place.“No matter how strong your family is, can you outmatch the law and the royal court?“If you play by the rules, I wouldn’t mind playing along either.“But if you try to go above the law…“I’ll just have to destroy the family once and for all.”Harvey’s calm words made Capri’s heart skip a beat.For some rea
Half an hour later, the interrogation room was filled with steaming hot dishes.All sorts of colorful foods were seen inside.Other than that, various teas were placed around as well.Harvey York casually picked up his utensils before digging in on the food.After filling his stomach to the brim, Harvey squinted at the man in a white shirt.He was none other than Blaine John himself.He was probably the only person who could make the new first-in-command of Golden Sands Police Station this obedient.“How calm, Sir York.“You’re already a prisoner here, yet you’re having such a good meal.“Judging from this, you are doing a lot better than me …”Harvey casually took a sip of tea before looking curious.“Who said that I’m a prisoner?“I’m just a suspect. If Rohan doesn’t find anything concrete after forty-eight hours, I’d be able to leave.“Why should I have to worry then?“I’ll just pretend I’m here for a short vacation.“There’s been a lot going on in the city anyway. It
Blaine John showed an invigorating smile after seeing Harvey York’s expression change.He wiped the corner of his mouth with some tissue before speaking.“Judging from the look on your face, I’d say that crushing someone’s spirits is a lot more effective sometimes.“No wonder you prefer to do things this way.“I should learn from you more.”Harvey squinted.“Aren’t you scared of me slapping you in the face for saying this?”“Slap me?Blaine let out a chuckle.“Do you even dare?“If you do, you’d have to stay here for a few more days.“After all, it’s a huge crime to hit someone in a place like this!“Your title as the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance won’t save you here.”Then, Blaine leaned in toward Harvey with a smirk.“Come on! Hit me!“I’m right here! Do you dare?!“If not, as long as you kneel before me…“I’ll consider telling Capri to release you. How does that sound?”Blaine beamed confidently.Naturally, he believed that Harvey would not
Blaine John swatted Harvey York’s hand away before squinting at him.“Do you even have proof?“I’m afraid you can’t use our conversation as proof now, can you?“Without that, how do you prove that I asked you to hit me?“Is anyone even going to believe you?”Harvey pointed at Capri with a faint smile.“I have proof right here.”Blaine instinctively frowned.“Are you insane?! If you want me to testify, I…”Slap!Harvey swung the back of his palm across Capri’s face before she was even done speaking.“Did I ask you to speak?”Capri was filled with disbelief. She did not expect Harvey to dare hit her under such circumstances.Then, Harvey stepped forward before patting Blaine’s face.“You know full well who I am.“Other than the representative of the country’s Martial Arts Alliance, I’m also Longmen’s young master.“I have a nominal title, but I also have immense authority.“If you want to play by the rules, I’ll oblige.“But if you’re going to be unreasonable, then I ca
Half an hour later, Harvey York appeared in front of the police station.Even Blaine John, a high and mighty figure, knew this.Since Harvey revealed his identity as Longmen’s young master, the government had no choice but to stop making things more complicated for him.Besides, the evidence would not even do anything since Harvey did nothing wrong.Fabricating evidence against the young master of Longmen was indeed a huge crime.The master of Longmen was not an easygoing man either.Blaine had no choice but to take the slap…Unless he was ready to fight to the death.He believed that it was not the time for that yet.A Lamborghini was parked on the side of the road before the entrance.Harvey casually walked up to the passenger’s seat before seeing Kairi Patel reapplying her makeup while heaving a sigh.“As expected of you, Sir York.“I was wondering how I could bail you…“I didn’t expect you’d come out alone.”Kairi put her lipstick down before walking toward Harvey. Th
"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
