Harvey laughed, caring little. He was not interested in women who wanted nothing but power and wealth."What? Cat got your tongue? You don't have a response?" The long-haired woman looked at Harvey with scorn. "Let me warn you! Even if this isn't about Yvonne, Wolsing is not a place where a country bumpkin like you can show yourself. I find it hard to believe how blind Yvonne must be to become your secretary. Even if she wants to experience life, there's no need for her to humiliate herself like this, right?"The long-haired woman shook her head and sighed with a face full of disbelief. It was as if the choice Yvonne made had completely ruined the Xaviers of Wolsing's reputation. As the three women continued to taunt Harvey, a well-dressed waitress came over with a cart. Then, she served each of the women their meal. Even before the dome was opened, a sweet scent was already permeating from under the dome.While the meals inside looked quite simple, they were all very exquisite.
The faces of the long-haired woman and Rita, who had just picked up their forks and were going to have a slice of the fresh Salmon, grew pale. It was obvious that whether Harvey was being intentional or not, it was enough to disgust them.Before they could say anything, the waitress next to Harvey frowned and said, "Sir, the South Ocean Restaurant uses the freshest ingredients. I will have security to ask you to leave for interrupting our business by throwing wild accusations.""That's right!" Rita let out a cold smile when she heard what the waitress had to say. "Do you know who owns this place? It's the Wrights of Wolsing, the leader of the top ten families! While their goods are always known to be pricey, they're all worth it. You must have a death wish to start a ruckus in their territory. You better not tell them you know us when they settle the score with you later!""It's fine. I'm not interested in knowing any of you either way," Harvey said calmly. "The only reason I'm he
When Rita heard what Harvey had to say, her expression darkened and she yelled, "Harvey, can you please stop making things up? I've already given you the note, so can you please give up? What do you want if you keep on yapping?!"Harvey gave Rita a look. "Since you're willing to be here today, I believe you care about her. That's why I want you to tell me the truth. No matter what kind of trouble she's in, I can help her. However, you have to tell me everything."Rita rolled her eyes, her disdain evident. "I'll thank you on Yvonne's behalf, but there's no need to."She was smiling coldly when she said that. The person Yvonne would be marrying was someone very important from the Island Nation. What could a loser like Harvey do before someone so important? It didn't matter if Yvonne was willing to marry this important person. It was something the Xaviers of Wolsing had to do.And this loser from Buckwood wanted to interfere with their family matter? He had to be joking. No matter how
The long-haired woman looked at Harvey disdainfully, as if she had figured out the truth. "That was why you did everything possible to get into the Jean of Mordu. When you realize you can't, you think the Xaviers aren't half bad, too.""Unfortunately, you didn't know just how useless you are. You didn't understand one thing. But sometimes, the more you want things to change, the more it'll stay the same. All of this is but a fool's errand. There are things that you're born with, and if you don't have it, you're already hopeless in your life. So, you should just give up now. Forget about dealing with Yvonne. You can't even deal with your coming problem with South Ocean Restaurant. And your luck is so bad, too, since someone from the Wright family is just around!" The long-haired woman smirked derisively.Not far away, an old man wearing a suit who looked like a manager quickly walked over. From the looks of it, he had been doing this for a long time. Rita also noticed the old man and
The Wright of Wolsing had many daughters, but only one person was bestowed the nickname princess, and that was Sienna—the woman who could stand against Emery Wright within the Wright family. In many people's understanding, when she finally ascended, she would become the queen of the Wright family. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had the highest prestige among all the young ladies within Wolsing.But someone like Sienna was waiting for a country bumpkin like Harvey in Room Number One?How… How was that even possible?Rita narrowed her eyes, her voice slightly shaking. "Mr. Braff… Did you get the wrong person? He's just a country bumpkin from the south. How can he have the right to have breakfast with Princess Wright?"Mr. Braff glanced at Rita and replied coldly, "What? Should our princess ask for your permission before deciding who to have breakfast with? Who do you think you are to meddle in the Wright family's affairs?""I…" The corner of Rita's eye twitched. She knew
Room Number One, Southern Ocean Restaurant.The room was not huge, only about 540 square feet. It was furnished with classic wooden furniture. They looked ordinary, but one could see the passing of time on them. Other than that, different kinds of breakfast items were already being served on the table.Cornbread, collard greens, buttermilk biscuits, bacon-studded scrambled eggs…While they were not haute cuisine, they made the entire room look alive.Sienna was sitting on one side of the table, wearing gold-framed glasses and looking at the information on her tablet. She had not been awake for long; the sleepiness in her eyes remained. She also did not put on any makeup.But even then, she was still just as beautiful.Harvey glanced at such a beautiful woman, simply pulled the chair, and sat down without any thoughts. "It has been a long while since we met at Flutwell, princess…""Indeed. But you're the one who didn't want to see me, Harvey…" Sienna said as she removed her glass
Harvey briefly narrowed his eyes before taking a deep breath. "Do you know when's the wedding?"Sienna looked at Harvey and said, "The day before the night of the full moon, one day before your duel with Shinto Way. That day is the day when Shingen and Yvonne would get married. If I'm correct, Shingen will take Yvonne to spectate your duel after their wedding! Then, before your duel, Shingen will announce his wedding with Yvonne to you. In other ways, Shingen will use Yvonne to affect you mentally."Harvey closed his eyes. After a long time, he asked, "Was this planned by the Xavier family? Or the Shinto Way?"There was not much change in Sienna's expression, and she passed the tablet in her hand to Harvey. "Based on my intel, it's most likely a coincidence. Firstly, the Xaviers and the Shinto Way already had some business exchanges early this year. Both sides worked well with each other."Secondly, the Shinto Way had already requested a political marriage quite some time ago, but
About half an hour later, Harvey reached the front of the ICU of Wolsing Grand Hospital.Other than Wilhelm's students and family members, dozens of people looked like they had held power for a long time. They were all from Dragon Palace.No matter how awkward Wilhelm's position was, he was still a member of Dragon Palace. Dragon Palace had to seek an explanation on his behalf if anything were to happen to him.Charlotte was among the crowd.However, she was standing at the sideline and obviously was not part of the same clique. Her eyes were fixed at the entrance. It was apparent that she was waiting for Harvey.When she finally saw Harvey, Charlotte quickly walked over and whispered, "You're finally here, sir."Harvey nodded. "How's the situation?"While he had no interest in a traitor, Wilhelm died the second day after they had just gotten into a scuffle at the Songstress's Stage the day before.Harvey had no choice but to take a personal look at this.Because if he did not
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
Liza chuckled when he saw Donald, who was so confident in his abilities. "If you put some more effort into it, with your abilities, there's no doubt that Harvey will die a terrible death, am I right?"Donald rubbed his swollen face. "That little bastard hit my face until it's all swollen. Of course, I must get back at him a hundred, no, a thousand times! Otherwise, all this pain and humiliation will be for nothing."Liza bowed. "He deserves it all." "Alright, I'll get some rest. After everything, I can feel my bones aching," said Donald as he set down his glass and walked to his bedroom.But the instant he went inside, he turned around to look at Liza. "Contact Mitsuki and ask if the Island Nation still has any other evidence. If there's none, ask them if she can fabricate something concrete soon. If we want to make this case as solid as possible, we also need other evidence! And I believe they have already prepared it.""Understood!" Liza nodded and immediately left to arrange i
Just as Harvey was imprisoned because of Rita's testimony, Donald returned to his mansion with a pleasing smile.While he had lived overseas, he had plenty of assets in Wolsing.On the one hand, it was to make some money. On the other hand, it was to have a place to stay. And his favorite place was Arcadia Garden located in the third rim of Wolsing. It was not spacious and had three courtyards, and the architecture was quite old, as if it had not been renovated for decades.That being said, Arcadia Garden's design was quite old, but all the antique, the pottery, the statues… All of them were pretty valuable. If one were to live in a place like this, they would no doubt lose themselves in a life of decadence, becoming full of themselves.At this time, someone pushed open the door into Arcadia Garden with a creak.Then, Donald walked into the estate with a gratified expression, sitting on the sofa in the living room."Hahahaha! What a show! Isn't that Harvey quite bombastic? Isn't
"Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you just surrender?" Mitsuki looked at Harvey with a smirk.Harvey calmly replied, "Firstly, I have no interest in framing you Islanders. Because logically speaking, the weak will frame the strong. In my eyes, all of you Islanders are nothing. You're not even on my radar."Secondly, if I really want to kill Wilhelm, will I be so stupid to kill him just after he and I were in a scuffle earlier? Can't I wait for a few more days?"Thirdly, you showed a fingerprint and said all the evidence is clear. But you can lift my fingerprints from my residence and my office."Fourthly, you Islanders have just used Donald and Wilhelm to threaten me, so they'll make me give up on the duel. But when that fails, I'm suddenly accused of being a murderer, as if I'll go to prison at any time."There are too many coincidences. I believe the one who killed Wilhelm is someone from Island Nation, so that you can frame me.""Us? Framing you?" Mitsuki said as i
Harvey did not expect Charlotte to be willing to fight the Shinto Way for him until the very end. However, he did not want Charlotte to fight for him now.Looking at the crowd gathering around them, itching to get a fight and the people from Dragon Palace… Then he noticed Mitsuki's deep smile…Harvey sighed.He did not mind fighting the Islanders here.But if he fought with the people from Dragon Palace because of him, no matter who won, it would be a disgrace if news of this spread. Harvey raised his right hand and said, "Charlotte, no need to fight here. Didn't Mitsuki say she has enough evidence to the point that the officers from Dragon Cell are with her? If that's the case, then let's investigate. I believe I can prove my own innocence.Harvey ignored them and left the ICU.When Mitsuki and Donald saw what had happened, they looked and smiled deeply at each other and quickly followed him.-Half an hour later. In the interrogation room, Dragon Cell Wolsing branch.As th
When Harvey looked at how righteous Mitsuki was trying to portray herself, he was unsure how to react.Meanwhile, Donald immediately gave Mitsuki a thumbs up and said, "Just as expected from one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto Way, Mitsuki! Not only can you fight, but you're also guided by righteousness! With Mitsuki willing to preside over what's right, this means that there's still justice in this world. It also means that in Country H, those with power will still be punished!"Then, Donald gave Harvey a complacent smile, feeling that Harvey would have to submit even if he refused.Charlotte frowned when she saw what had happened.The Islanders were known for their particularity. They would never act rashly before they had all the evidence.However, from Mitsuki's reaction… Could it be that Harvey really did kill Wilhelm? But Charlotte instantly felt that it was impossible. For someone like Harvey, if he really had something against Wilhelm, he would handle it on th
"You…" Donald was so furious that he could not stop shaking. "You're making things up, Harvey! Even if I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have killed Wilhelm! He's a dear friend!"Then, Harvey said, "Does that matter to a person like you? You can even kill your own father as long as the price is right, much less someone unrelated to you."Donald could not stop shuddering when he heard that. However, he knew that Harvey was not completely wrong."Mr. Harvey, are all people from your country just like you? Refusing to admit to the crimes you commit? But I have proof that you're the one who killed the deacon!" A cold voice came from the other side of the corridor at this time."We went to the crime scene where William was murdered just now. We found a longsword with your fingerprint on it. This is the smoking gun. What else do you have to say?"Harvey turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was one of the three primary disciples of Shinto Way, Mitsuki. She walked
"Donald! You're from Country A! Now that you're here from your so-called cultured country, you should understand something simple… You need to provide proof for everything to determine one's crime!" Charlotte spoke to Donald with an icy stare."For you to accuse our representative Harvey of murder without any proof, what you're doing is slander! I understand you're angry because you lost a close friend, so I don't blame you for the outrage. But if this happens again, don't say I didn't warn you!" Charlotte said that and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, as if she was willing to fight if they refused to back down.After Charlotte had done this, plenty of figures appeared all over the hospital. It was obvious they were all enforcer students from the alliance. When they saw Charlotte had many more people on their side, Donald and his entourage were furious. They glared at Charlotte brutally, as if wanting to attack, but chose not to since Charlotte had more people on her side.
