The crowd was shocked!Everyone gaped while looking at this scene, feeling their scalp tingle. They could not accept it.Oliver Bauer was here, and there were so many subordinates here. How dare Harvey York land a slap on Hugh Baker?Was he afraid that he would not die miserably enough?Oliver was even more stunned. This was because, in his opinion, anyone who was a little smart would have surrendered at this moment.This was because he was the branch leader of Longmen, Mordu. He had a high position and had powerful strength. Trampling Harvey to death was just as simple as stepping on an ant.However, no one thought that Harvey would actually ignore his existence and slapped Hugh in public. He even stepped on Hugh’s chest under his feet.This was not only about smacking Oliver in the face but also hitting at Longmen at the same time too!“Kill him! If he dies, it’s on me!”Oliver was so angry that he jumped on the spot.Many people held their breath while witnessing this scen
Harvey York ignored those people and calmly said, “Elder Bauer, I wouldn’t dare to ask you to do anything. But I’d like to ask: what was your original intention when you decided to establish Longmen?”Samuel Bauer realized something, but he still smiled and replied, “To protect the country for the emperor!“Of course, it’s because of that!”Harvey chuckled.“Indulging the branch leader under you and arrogantly bullying the citizens. You did all that in the name of protecting the country?“If you did, I feel like there’s no need for Longmen at all!”Samuel remained silent for a moment, then continued talking.“Harvey, what happened exactly? I’ll be sure to give you a fair statement.”Harvey calmly replied, “Nothing much. It’s just that one of your branch leaders is planning to kill me off.“Even though I wanted to deal with this myself, I would still have to ask if you’re supporting him, Elder.“Because if you are, I wouldn’t mind going to Wolsing myself!”Samuel then swiftly
The crowd was shocked, muddled, and terrified!Longmen’s branch leader was kneeling in front of a junior and being slapped left and right. Nobody would believe it if they weren’t there to see it for themselves!It did not matter what background Harvey York had or who he called.But victory had already been decided!When Oliver Bauer kneeled, all of his pride and dignity were already gone.And all those thirty-six men were kneeling on the ground as well without the courage even to raise their heads.It was safe to say that he was just as miserable as he was domineering before.The people that came to stand up for Hugh Baker were all utterly terrified by the sight and then quietly backed away.Even though they couldn’t get away, all of them had the same idea, and that was to stay away from Hugh and pretend that they were not acquainted with him.Hugh and Tristan Quinlan were filled with resentment. They wanted to choke Harvey to death so badly.Why would crushing a live-in son-
At the Gardens Residence.Harvey York carefully walked inside, about to take a shower in the bathroom.With a resounding click, the entire living room that was as dark as night was lit up.Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer were wearing pajamas on the couch, hugging their arms while glaring at Harvey.Master York, who just crippled a branch leader of Longmen, felt like his head was going numb.He had to force a smile and ask, “Mandy, Xynthia, why aren’t the two of you in bed yet?”“What were you doing outside? And why did you come back this late?”Mandy was frowning.Harvey replied, “It’s nothing. I just went to have a talk with Hugh’s godfather.”“And then what happened?”“And then, the father and son realized their own mistakes. They promised not to step foot in Buckwood ever again, then held each other’s hands and left,” Harvey said, full of confidence.Mandy and Xynthia looked at each other full of disbelief, but they saw that Harvey was completely unscathed. It seemed like
On the next day.Harvey York had gotten word of Oliver Bauer being assassinated early in the morning.After giving a call to Yannick Bisson, Harvey then went to a funeral parlor.Oliver’s status was too extraordinary. That was why besides Yannick, Yoel Graham was there as well.Inside the morgue, there was a body that was as pale as a ghost. It was none other than Oliver himself, but with an additional red dot on his forehead.Harvey sized up the body and calmly asked, “What happened here?”Yannick took a deep breath and replied, “After Oliver and the group left the parking lot last night, they went to Edward Hospital to treat their injuries. They then drove toward Buckwood International Airport right after.“About twelve miles away from the airport, Oliver asked to open the car window right as they were leaving the urban district. It was then a suppressed bullet went right into his head. It was a one-shot kill!“The shooter’s extremely accurate. No ordinary person could’ve mad
Harvey York seemed indifferent.Yannick Bisson, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, “CEO York, what do you think the killer’s motives are for assassinating Oliver Bauer?”Harvey calmly replied, “It’s not for money, and it’s not for revenge. Then, it’s most likely to cause trouble.“It might not be against me, but the killer is at least trying to shake things up in Buckwood for some reason. No doubt about it.“Buckwood is basically a metal bucket now, after all. It’s almost impossible for outsiders to just waltz in as they please.“But if they were to push me to the heart of the struggle and the government of South Light had to throw me out to give Samuel Bauer a fair statement, then, they might have a shot to come in.”Without a second thought, Harvey continued speaking.“If we think about it this way, the killer’s motive isn’t just to kill Oliver, and certainly it’s not to deal with me either.“They wanted to take advantage of the situation while Longmen is in chaos
Harvey York then replied calmly, “Even if everything that you said was true, what are you going to do about it?”Rachel Hardy hugged her arms and looked down on Harvey.“Let’s cut the nonsense. Kneel and break your arms, then we’ll talk after you have kneeled for seven whole days in front of my master’s grave!“If not, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”Rachel was domineering at this moment. There was an unspeakable aura surrounding her.It was apparent that this woman was at least capable. It seemed like she had been to war before.Her comrades were glaring at Harvey ferociously, as if they would kill him in any minute.Harvey calmly replied, “So, you’re saying that you won’t be investigating the matter any further?”“Investigate?! All of the facts are here, why would there even be a need for that?!” Rachel retorted coldly.“Even if you don’t, do you think that you’re worthy enough for me to break my arms and kneel in front of Oliver’s grave?”Harvey’s expression t
Rachel Hardy sized up Yoel Graham and let out a burst of laughter. “You must be the first-in-command of the government of Buckwood, Yoel Graham.“You’re nothing in front of me!“The first-in-command of South Light’s government being here should be more appropriate!“I’m telling you right now, nobody can protect Harvey today! Harvey York, you’re as good as dead!”In the middle of Rachel’s speech, she took out a red license and threw it right at Yoel’s face.Yoel grabbed the license and took a glance. His expression changed frantically after he saw it.“The license to kill?!”“It’s good that you know about this. Even though I already quit Longmen, my license is still here. Even the sovereign grants special permission to kill first before reporting!“Even if you were to stand in my way, Yoel Graham, I’ll just kill you off too! Who would even dare to stand up for you?!”Rachel did not give a sliver of respect toward Yoel. Her license to kill was her trump card.Besides, she alr
