Sarah opened the door. “Please come in, Mr. Harvey.”
After Harvey entered, Sarah immediately closed the door. In front of her was a man who had been looking down. He was the person in charge of accompanying the VIP. Harvey took out his card and used it on a machine beside the steel door. Realizing that Harvey had opened the door, the man hurriedly approached him. Then after seeing the card Harvey was holding, he realized that Harvey was someone he should respect more. He would instantly lose his job if he ignored him even a little. The man gulped. “My apologies, sir. I'm late to welcome you.” Harvey looked at him casually. He didn't really mind that much. The man then opened the steel door. “Please follow me, sir.” The man walked ahead of Harvey into the room. It turned out that the room had an elevator that led to an underground room. The man pointed to the elevator to let Harvey in. The elevator took them to a secret vault that only this elite jewelry store had. Harvey walked behind the man through the steel doors beside the corridor. Those doors were the rooms where ordinary VIP customers were kept. And among all the doors, there was a large black door, looking the strongest among the other storage doors. The man stopped in front of the door. Then he stood beside it while facing Harvey. “Please, sir. Until now, no one has touched your safe.” Harvey took a step forward while looking at the top of the large door. He smiled a little. “If anyone can touch it, then the security here is pretty lousy.” Sweat began to break out on the guard's temples. He quickly lowered his gaze. What Harvey said seemed like something frightening to him. Harvey pressed his palm against the scan screen in front of the door. A lock sounded open from inside the door. Then Harvey also entered a numeric password. From the center of the door, a silver circle appeared. Harvey then pressed his palm against the circle and closed his eyes. The guard took a few steps back. His heart was racing. In his mind, he was seriously watching what Harvey was doing without blinking. “What a great pressure.” Harvey's mouth whispered a few words. One thing that Harvey had not shown to others while he was Whitley's husband was that Harvey possessed an unusual martial arts technique. He could use the inner power of his body. By attaching his hand to the silver circle. With such an intricate mechanism, this safe was indeed tailor-made for Harvey alone. The sound of gears could be heard clearly as the large door slid open. Harvey then entered. Inside was a large room that felt empty. The entire room was white, with only a table in the center of the room. On top of the table, there was a glowing black box. Harvey walked over and opened the box. Inside, there was a necklace in the shape of a phoenix. Harvey touched and stroked the object several times. “It's been so long...” Harvey took the object and put it on. He closed his eyes, then as he looked up he took a deep breath, then let it out. He felt something new. Harvey turned around and walked out of the room. Automatically, the door of the safe closed again. The man from before came up to Harvey. “Have you taken what you need, sir.” Harvey showed the necklace he was wearing. “Don't let anyone enter this safe!” The man nodded. Somehow the atmosphere became more tense. The man had to swallow his saliva. In his mind, he wondered about all this. “Who is this person? I'm meeting him for the first time, but his aura is so strong. He's definitely not an ordinary person.” There were only a few who had VIP storage access, but this was the first time he had seen one locked in such a way. He was sure that this guest must be more than he imagined. He even subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat and got goosebumps. The two of them then walked out of the storage area. Harvey stepped slightly ahead of the man. After they arrived at the previous place, it turned out that Whitley was still there. He proudly stood at a slight angle and also folded his arms in front of his chest. “Oh, did you finally get kicked out of this place, Harvey?” Whitley said in a very annoying tone. “I already knew that someone like you would want to commit a crime. You were caught trying to steal, weren't you?” Harvey didn't pay much attention to her. He was too lazy to bother with a big mouth like this woman. However, just as Harvey was about to leave, Whitley and Valencia got in front of him. Whitley snorted dismissively. “I think you need to be searched before you leave this place.” Whitley glanced at the name tag of the man behind Harvey. “Jason, check Harvey's entire body.” Harvey paused to exhale. “You don't know about me.” Whitley chuckled. “I know very well who you are. You're a poor, lowly man. One who would commit a crime given the chance. If you've come here, I'm sure that there must be something in your pockets. You need to be searched and reported to the police!” Jason opened his eyes wide. Harvey was a top VIP owner, of course Jason did not allow this ambience become worse. “Be careful what you say, Miss. Mr. Harvey did not do what you are accusing him of. Whoever you are, you are out of line!” Jason furrowed his brows. His heart was racing. He must not make Harvey feel offended by this woman. Hearing that, Whitley was shocked. She immediately pointed at Harvey's face. “I know this person very well. He is the one who will harm you.” Jason shook his head while glaring. “Stop it, Miss. You're so annoying!” Whitley frowned. She wondered why this waitress seemed to be desperately defending Harvey? Harvey grabbed Jason's shoulders. “Oh yes, I have a request. Don't let these two women to stay in here.” Harvey's eyes fell on Whitley. Whitley suddenly opened her eyes wide. Especially when she saw Jason respond to Harvey with a nod. “Alright. Security, evict them!” This elite jewelry store was a very prestigious store in the city. People who wore jewelry from this store would be the talk of their social groups. If Whitley lost access to come here, then she would also lose her social status in the eyes of her friends. Whitley with a flushed face pointed back at Harvey. “Why are you even following his orders? Did he buy anything here?” Jason firmly replied, “Mr. Harvey didn't buy. He just picked something up.” Whitley chuckled. “He didn't buy anything? How can you obey someone like this? Look, I buy a lot of stuff here. You can't kick me out, Harvey should be the one you kick out!” Jason shook his head. “What Mr. Harvey did is worth more than the things you bought. Hand back the things you brought and get out of here!” Whitley was stunned. She couldn't believe that Jason would say that so bluntly. A moment later, two security guards arrived and held Whitley and Valencia's hands. Jason took back the toot bag of jewelry Whitley had just bought. Both of them were forcibly dragged by the security and released when they were outside the store. Both of their faces became very red, especially since there were many people watching. Whitley clenched her fists. “You bastard! Why did he kick me out like this?” Valencia wrinkled her forehead as she looked inside the shop. Her heart was racing after that incident. “Whitley, isn't your ex-husband a rich man? He can order the people in this shop around at will.” Whitley clucked her mouth. “Harvey? Rich? You are kidding! He's just a loser.”

“What the hell is he? So annoying!” Whitley snorted while averting her gaze.Valencia herself was still stunned by the incident. Her head was having a hard time processing what she had just seen. In her mind, she kept wondering. “Harvey? Harvey Wilder? He drove that expensive and rare car?”Until the car pulled away, Valencia's eyes were still glued to the BMW. She swallowed. “Whitley, you saw that, right? Harvey is riding in that car.”Whitley immediately glanced sarcastically at the woman next to him. “Valencia, he's a poor man! He's also very useless and annoying. Don't ever mention that name in front of me again. Remember, he got us kicked out of this jewelry store.”Valencia immediately realized that. The look on her face instantly changed. “I almost forgot about him. He's a bastard!”Whitley sighed. “Ah, never mind! Thinking about that guy makes me want to throw up. There's no point in thinking about that bastard.”Valencia let out a long breath. Today's plan to go shopping was

It was still untidy, so there were not only doctors and nurses, but also some other workers. Who were preparing things.Suddenly, the people there were surprised by the arrival of the two people. Moreover, the blood from Harvey's hand continued to drip on the floor.Jordan shouted again, making a scene. “Help! My friend is hurt! The blood won't stop. Is there a doctor here?”Seeing an injured and pale-faced person, several nurses and doctors approached Jordan and Harvey. One of the doctors looked on in panic. “What's going on?

Doctor Aurelia glared. For a moment her eyes were glued to Harvey. However, a moment later she began to frown and her lips pulled back.She began to laugh amusedly after hearing what Harvey had just said. “Your joke is hilarious. What kind of person cuts his own hand like that? That wound is so deep, you could even lose your hand forever.”Although Doctor Aurelia laughed like that, Harvey did not laugh along with her. He just watched Doctor Aurelia without saying a single word. Until finally Doctor Aurelia turned to him. The laughter on the young doctor's lips began to fade.Harvey looked directly into Doctor Aurelia's eyes calmly. It was as if he was waiting to be heard. “I'm not joking.”Suddenly Doctor Aurelia furrowed her brows. She glared in disbelief at what she had just heard. “Are you out of your mind? You could be disabled for life! You should take care of your body, not destroy it like this. What you're doing could be killing yourself.”Harvey remained calm even though he wa

“I didn't expect to be tested in this way.” Doctor Aurelia kept her surprise. In her heart, she was a little worried about this. “Thank you for testing me, General--”Harvey shook his head while frowning. “Call me Mr. Harvey, do not call me General.”Doctor Aurelia was silent for a moment. Calling a person of high rank by name directly felt awkward to Doctor Aurelia. Moreover, this man was the one who had led her when she was on the battlefield.Doctor Aurelia did know that Harvey had retired, but it felt rude to do so. Doctor Aurelia only smiled hesitantly at this moment.Harvey, who caught the hesitation, raised his head slightly. “Mr. Harvey, you can call me that. This is not on the battlefield.”Doctor Aurelia nodded. “Very well, Mr. Harvey.”Doctor Aurelia felt a great deal of awkwardness, but Harvey only gave a small nod. So Doctor Aurelia thought that this was the right thing to do.Doctor Aurelia exhaled. “Mr. Harvey, if you wanted to test me, why did you do such a dangerous t

“Damn it!” Jay glared at Jordan. He became annoyed that Jordan didn't answer his question.In a moment Jay could instantly feel the immense pressure from Jordan.

In fact, the more Jay tried the tighter Jordan held him.Jay clenched his teeth, not liking Jordan's actions. “Oh, it turns out that this hospital has the nerve to act. Deliberately hiring thugs like this to obstruct us, huh? You'd better stay out of it if you still care about your fate, you village thug!”Jordan narrowed his eyes.

“What a jerk. He is a pain in the ass.” Doctor Aurelia exhaled. Her eyes closed tightly as she looked down.The words spoken by Jay earlier were really weighing on her mind. Several times Doctor Aurelia exhaled, but it didn't calm the pounding of her heart.It wasn't just once that Jay had come here. This time he came alone, but before that he came with some gang members. They harassed the workers of this hospital, causing construction to come to a halt for some time.This time, Jay was really humiliated. Doctor Aurelia was worried about what that person would do next.

“How did it get like this?” Whitley muttered it several times.The thin nails on his fingers pinched her lips incessantly. Occasionally she would bite them. Slowly but surely, Whitley walked to the right, then to the left again, and to the right again. She did so with furrowed brows.The scream from Andreas on the phone was still ringing in her head. It penetrated and seemed to squeeze her head. Moreover, Whitley had heard the news that Andreas had actually been arrested by the police.Whitley did not want to believe that fact. Because in the city of Duskvale, even a god should not be able to touch their slippery skin. The police who were supposed to be on the Brown family's side should not have done that.Whitley bit her fingernails again. “How is this?”Like a breath of air, this worry slipped into Whitley's chest until her breathing became heavier.

A subtle clink was heard as two crystal glasses touched, breaking the soft silence of the night. The dim light from the chandelier bounced off the surface of the red wine, creating a warm glow between them."Cheers," Vanessa said softly, her voice husky and sweet like the whisper of the night breeze. She looked up at Harvey with a faint smile, her lips touching the rim of the glass as she took a small sip of the red liquid.Harvey raised his glass and took a slow sip, his gaze fixed on the woman before him.Vanessa took a small breath as the aroma of wine filled her chest. She placed the glass back on the glass table, her fingers still gently curled around the neck of the glass."You're right," she said, her voice a half-whisper, "it's warm."Their eyes met for a moment, and in that gaze... there was something unspoken, but deeply felt.A small smile spread across Vanessa's face, like the petals of a flower slowly opening in the evening light. Her eyes shone, reflecting the twinkling

"Ha... ha ha ha... finally! I got you!"Alvaro's laughter shattered like broken glass-loud, unstable, and full of madness. His chest heaved, fueled by an adrenaline rush that had yet to subside. With hands still sticky with blood, he shook his face as if to get rid of the remnants of the fear that had gripped him earlier.Then he opened his eyes.Smoke was still billowing from the Glock pistol in his hand. The tip of the muzzle was pointed right at Harvey's face-a face now covered in blood, with a gaping hole in his temple. The body wobbles, then falls to the floor with a silent dug that hits Alvaro hard in the ear.Alvaro stared at the scene with narrowed eyes, as if carving it into his memory. That second felt like the greatest gift of his life.His jaw hardened, then the laughter erupted again, wilder than ever."Ha... ha ha ha..."His hands clenched into fists. His shoulders rose with unstoppable laughter."HA HA HA!"Alvaro's laughter erupted, uncontrollable-loud and guttural, li

"Humph! Damn it!" Alvaro roared as he pulled the gun back, but before he could fully raise it, Harvey's hand had already slapped the weapon hard. The gun was thrown, spinning in the air before falling and bouncing on the floor with a loud clanking sound.With one hand holding Alvaro's head, Harvey pressed deeper, forcing the man's face closer to the surface of the table. Alvaro's forehead is crushed hard, almost touching the stale coffee stains that have yet to be cleaned. It's as if he's no more valuable than the dried dirt there."Don't try anything funny, Alvaro." Harvey's voice is flat, but his coldness is like ice piercing into your bones.Alvaro gritted his teeth. His face was bright red, his breathing ragged like an animal that had just been snared. His muscles tensed, trying to resist, but Harvey's pressure gave him no opening. He shook violently, not from the cold, but from the anger and panic that had accumulated together.All the muscles that were once confident now lost th

"The eight people I hit earlier should have been a warning for you," Harvey said calmly, his voice as flat as the calm water that hid the rushing current underneath. "But it seems you'd rather turn a blind eye."His gaze was piercing, yet calm. He stood with a straight posture, not a single trace of tension in his body as if the surrounding gunmen were mere shadows.Alvaro smiled casually, like someone who knew he was still in control. He crossed one leg over the other, then rested his head on his palms, his fingers supporting his temples. He gestured like a king observing a clown."Oh, I don't care," he said lazily, the smile still hanging on his face. "They pissed me off by coming home with injuries but not a word about who you are. So... I prepared this for stubborn people like you."Harvey stood quietly in the center of the room, surrounded from all directions. Thirty-six men dressed in black grinned with eyes full of murderous intent. The light of the room's lamps bounced off the

"Bastard..." Alvaro's voice sounded hoarse, his eyes widened as if they were about to jump out of their sockets. The words lumped in his throat, held back by the wave of emotions that began to bubble up. "This... this has to be a lie!""You've seen it for yourself," Harvey cut in, calm. His lips curved faintly, but the smile felt more like a cold scratch in the air. It was hard to tell if it was a subtle taunt or a sign of satisfaction that he didn't want to show.His eyes were piercing. Flat, merciless, as if there was nothing to argue about."One hundred million dollars," he continued, still in a near-whisper but sharp tone. "As I said. Now, do your job."Alvaro's heartbeat was clearly audible to his own ears, like the sound of a sledgehammer hitting his chest wall. His breathing was short and irregular. He stares at the man in front of him - with his cheap clothes and expressionless face - who has suddenly become a menacing figure he has no control over.Harvey wasn't just telling

Harvey's steps echoed softly as he entered the empty building. The walls are dull, the paint is peeling, and the smell of dampness lingers like the breath of a decaying past. This place is far from decent, but that's what makes it ideal. There are no cameras, no witnesses. Only space and silence were silent witnesses to what was about to happen.Jordan had chosen this location carefully-and Harvey loved it. A place like this gave him freedom, space to speak... or act.On the other side of the room, a man stood with his arms folded across his chest. Sunglasses covered most of his face, but his sharp jawline and faint wrinkles on his forehead suggested impatience. Despite his age, his body was still well-built, clad in an expensive suit that was too flashy for such a bad place.His face conveyed a stern and dominant disposition. Alvaro Gibson. A man known not only for his business success, but also for the long list of women he'd collected like a personal collection. Four wives, and sti

“No one told-”Crack!Harvey slammed into the man's knee once more before his sentence was finished. The cracking sound was sharp and clear, like a tree branch breaking in the middle of a silent forest. A scream instantly erupted from the man's throat, echoing in the cramped room where the interrogation was taking place.Without changing his expression, Harvey reached out his hand to the knee he had just destroyed. His palm glowed faintly, warm, then slowly channeled internal energy. The injury was starting to get better-but the residual pain still hung on the man's nerves, reminding him that the pain could come at any time.“Who told you to?” Harvey's voice was low and steady, like a knife blade ready to pierce the skin.Sweat flooded the man's face. His body trembled violently. His lips trembled like a person shivering in winter, while his face slowly turned a pale, bluish color, like someone who had just been rescued from drowning. His breathing was short and labored, his chest ris

The four men on the roof glanced at each other, their expressions tense. Foreheads furrowed, jaws hardened. Harvey's figure standing below-with blood dripping from his sides and an expressionless face-sent a warning louder than a shout.One of them clenched a fist, trying to subdue the subtle trembling in the fingertips. "Don't let your guard down," he hissed. "The wound is severe, but the body..." He swallowed. "Not the body of an ordinary person."The other three nodded slowly. Doubt crept in behind their heavy breathing. But there was no turning back. Not now.They knew: stepping down meant battle. But staying up meant more than cowardice-it meant failing the mission.They hadn't expected to encounter someone like Harvey.One of them - with short hair and a tattooed jaw - grinned faintly. A smile that was more like a nervous twitch. "Do you remember what happened a few weeks ago?" he whispered hoarsely. "The one that tried to get close to Miss Vanessa. His fingers were crushed... e

"This situation is quite familiar, isn't it?" Harvey glanced briefly at Vanessa, his eyes remaining alert at the threat before them. His calm voice implied something-a reminder of a not-so-distant past.Vanessa frowned, her eyebrows rising slightly, a puzzled expression on her beautiful face. "Familiar?" she asked in an innocent tone, as if trying to ignore the reality that was beginning to catch up with them.Harvey moved one foot forward, his body slightly lowered into a defensive position, ready for the worst. His breathing was still regular, but his shoulders were tense."Why are they after you? It is also happened in the first time we met," he asked without taking his eyes off the big men across the street.Quietly, Vanessa shook her head. Her smile was faint, but her eyes did not share it. "A lot of people are after me, Harvey. The entertainment world is full of fanatics." She took a quick breath. "I thought... they were just one of them."But Harvey could catch the faintest not
