Before Harvey could say anything, Lilian, who was practically beaming, said, "Why did you say something like that, Hector? This has nothing to do with you! The reason this happened had to be because Harvey had used brute force to get that advanced sales permit."That must have harmed a lot of people! That's why we've become a target of revenge. If someone is to be blamed, that someone has to be Harvey! So don't think it's your fault and bear the consequences of someone else's wrongdoing!"Harvey scoffed. He knew Lilian didn't like him, but he never knew her loathing for him had reached this stage. She had completely given up her pride so she could flatter Hector."Really? You think this is Harvey's fault?" Hector said in shock."No, no! Harvey has helped all of you so much, he didn't do anything wrong at all. It's all my fault in the end. I should have gotten the advanced sales permit earlier for Mandy. Well, Mandy, both you and I are good friends. When you're in trouble, you shoul
"Of course, if Mandy has anything on her mind, or needs something, I'll do my best to help her. I've been working hard since I was little to get all this, so the woman I love can enjoy all this happiness with me. Haha…" Hector said, sounding very romantic. "Mandy, all you need is to give me a nod, and I'll have the statement appear in front of you."Lilian sighed. "Look at how charitable and bold he is! Mandy, nod and stop looking at Harvey. Something like this is beyond his ability. Hector never forced you to agree with anything else, so don't disappoint him by refusing his goodwill."Harvey had just wanted to say something, but then Mandy suddenly shook her head. "No thanks, Mr. Thompson. It's against the rules to show someone else the statement, and it's also against the law. We'll let the police station do their job, alright? We should leave and stop disturbing them from their work. I believe the police station will be able to give us justice."After that, Mandy gave Harvey
Mandy frowned a little. "I can understand the reason Hector would be the person behind this. What I couldn't understand is, why would the statement say it's you?"Harvey shrugged. "I don't know why Hector wants to court you, so let's just say you're his one true love for now. Then, I will be his biggest obstacle to courting you. If he can get rid of me by either killing me or imprisoning me, then he'd have you in his arms."To someone rich and influential like him, this would be the easiest way to take a woman's heart. He would use this method. That is how a nepo baby would act."Mandy frowned. "But if I found out, he would never be able to get my heart."Harvey simply said, "What does he need your heart for? He only needs you as a person. Once he has you, he won't be worried that you'll regret it anymore. Not to mention, there's nothing you can do even if you regret it."Mandy, love is like a war zone. And the war against these nepo babies is even more terrifying. The reason I di
Hector continued to explain coolly, "If Mandy was willing to read the statement when she was anxious while that fool Lilian caused a commotion, it'd take an instant for Mandy and Harvey's fragile relationship to completely break.""A woman couldn't stay calm in a state like that. But if this happened at another time, Mandy would ask for more evidence. Even if we did it perfectly and it couldn't be traced back to us, there might still be some flaws. For example, we can't kill that stubborn officer called Captain Pavel, can we?"If we allowed things to continue, more and more flaws would appear. When the plan is too flawed, it wouldn't be able to fulfill our needs. In other words, it wouldn't have much effect despite all our effort. Instead, we might get thrown into prison. That's why I've lost this matchup."Hector let out a sigh. While he looked calm, the darkness in his eyes betrayed how upset he was truly feeling inside.That was how it was supposed to be.He spent so much effor
The following morning, the entire Wolsing's streets were paved with red by the fallen leaves blanketing the ground as the winds of fall started to pick up.The barren scenery of fall began to show itself. Even the usually crowded area around the office buildings in the Third Ring seemed to be far less lively compared to the past.However, it didn't stop businesses from going on as usual.Mandy had already arrived at the reception area of the Ninth Branch Company early in the morning. She even took a team of construction workers, as she was thinking of how to restore the damages done to the building from yesterday.For Mandy, price didn't matter. All she needed was for the restoration to be completed in the shortest amount of time possible.After working through the night, the entrance of the company had already been somewhat repaired. However, she still needed some more time to restore it to how it was in the beginning.Even then, she had already calmed down a lot.No matter wha
On the other side of the call, Pavel smiled bitterly. "Things won't be so complicated if we have all the answers. In other words, you should leave if you're already there. I'm worried that the family members will do something to you. If anything happens to you, our side will have to bear even more responsibility.""They probably don't have much hostility against me for now." Mandy looked at what had happened, and sighed. "However, all of them are in full mourning attire and are mourning in front of my office."Paval's voice stopped as soon as he heard what Mandy told him. After processing it, he said, "I'll take a team over right now. But remember, please avoid conflict no matter what happens. If someone starts to fight, then things will become even more complicated." Mandy hung up quietly.The media had already started to interview the families on the spot."My dad was fine yesterday, but in the end? He pulled his own oxygen tube last night! Someone must have threatened him!"
When Maya saw that Mandy was able to keep a cool head in a situation like this, she took a deep breath and quickly went to work."Look! Mandy's been watching us!""She doesn't have any compassion at all! Look at her, she doesn't even feel any regret. Is she really going to offer her life up for killing everyone?""Looks like the law won't be able to give us any justice! Let's go, everyone! We'll personally take justice ourselves!"After the commotion had started for a while, several people among the families started to shout. It seemed that they realized Mandy wasn't going to fall for their ruse."Blood for blood!""For justice!""Let's go, everyone!"The men started to provoke the other family members. Some of them even took out rods from somewhere, making the situation even worse in an instant.At this time, the siren from the police cruisers could finally be heard.The officers from the police station had finally arrived.However, the police didn't dare to do anything too
"Closed?" Harvey smiled gently. He took out a photo from his pocket, and gave it to the security guard."She was your boss, correct? I heard she lost her husband and only had one son. Unfortunately, her son was useless, and they lost almost everything that her husband had left for her. Now, she's dead. Her son must be mourning inside, correct?"Why don't you go in and ask your little employer if he wanted to know the truth of his mother's death? If he wants to, then let me in. I can confidently say that I'm the only one who can help him get to the truth of his mother's death."The security guard looked at him strangely. After holding the photo for a moment, he quickly went in.-Five minutes later, Harvey was inside the furniture complex.All the shops inside the complex were closed, and the lights in the corridors weren't switched on as well. Only the dim emergency lights would occasionally flash.In the corner of the complex, several security guards were sitting on the floor l
"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
