Harvey flashed Hector a faint smile, then cocked his head toward the auctioneer.“Since Young Master Thompson doesn’t want the land anymore, I don’t think there’s anyone left who can challenge me.”“Why are you still not striking the hammer?”The auctioneer froze momentarily. A second later, she returned to her senses and waved her small hammer.“Land H from Lujiazui, fifteen billion dollars from Sir York!” she exclaimed, full of excitement.“Going once!”“Going twice!”“Going thrice!”“I now announce that Sir York has successfully owned Land H from Lujiazui!”The crowd exploded into an applause as loud as thunder.No matter how Harvey would end up later on, he would surely be known everywhere because of his fight against Hector.Several wealthy women were even giving Harvey looks of interest as they thought of ways to get closer to him and acquire his money before his untimely end. Hector, who was sitting in the middle of the row, stood up and gave Harvey a look of admira

The car went up the highway, then drove back to the uban district’s Fragrant Hill villa soon after.Right as it was about to head inside the villa’s garage, the driver suddenly slowed down.George Zabel, who was sitting in the front, frowned. “Sir York, there’s something wrong. The cops have the villa completely surrounded.”“Should we go to another place to rest for now, or…?”Harvey stared at the police cars with their shimmering lights and at the inspectors running around everywhere through the car window, his eyes narrowed.Something happened inside the villa—something big!After a while, Harvey sighed.“Our dear Young Master Thompson’s acting pretty recklessly now.”“Even so, his power’s quite impressive.”“How long has it been? Half an hour? He already planned for this to happen.”“Whether he planned this beforehand or after the auction, however, is up in the air.”“If he did all this after the auction, I have to admit that he’s quite powerful.”Harvey forwarded a t

The inspector who was leading the group knocked on the car window at the back, signaling everyone to get out of the car.Harvey pushed the car door and got out while intentionally showing a confused look. “I’m a law-abiding citizen, inspector. Why are you all blocking our path, may I ask?”After glancing at the picture that was taken out before sizing up Harvey, the inspector coldly exclaimed, “Take him away!”Yvonne wanted to get out of the car, but Harvey gave her a look before questioning the inspector once more.“In this day and age, you should at least give a reason for your arrest in this day and age. Right, inspector?”“It’s not appropriate for you to just take me away with a straight face now, is it?”“Aren’t you scared of the media exposing you for bending the law as you please for your own benefit?”The inspector froze slightly at Harvey’s composure. “Harvey York, right? Do you have no idea what you have done?” The inspector asked coldly.Harvey shrugged.“I’ve b

The inspector leading the arrest didn’t expect Harvey to still be this calm despite these circumstances.He frowned slightly, then waved his hand.“Make way, let the others go!”Harvey gave Tyson a look. The car entered the garage soon after.Harvey smiled. Without doing anything reckless, he got into one of the police cars casually.Vrooooom!Soon, the cars that were escorting Harvey left.As for the Fragrant Hill, quite a few inspectors stayed to maintain order while they gathered evidence.…Three o’clock in the afternoon.Mordu Police Station’s first branch.Rachel and Aiden went inside along with several others after parking their cars. Yvonne, who was accompanied by others, was also seen walking out of the hall.Kelly, Hazel, June, and everyone else who attended the evening banquet the night before came as well.Rachel and Aiden froze after seeing the huge crowd.Rachel walked toward Yvonne and whispered, “Ms. Xavier, why did Sir York get arrested?”Naturally, Rach

Kelly frowned, then shook his head slowly.“Impossible!”“That kid likes talking big, but he has a good heart.”“There’s no way that he would force Ms. Fujihara to do anything.”Yvonne let out a sigh.“I can testify to that. Ms. Miwa came to Harvey’s room last night. She said that her shower head broke, so she wanted to shower in Harvey’s room.”“I’ve already informed the police. They’ll give Harvey a fair judgment.”“The shower head broke? You dare make up such a stupid excuse?”June shot Yvonne a mocking look. “Ms. Xavier. You may have an extraordinary identity and an immensely high status, but you have no experience in life at all!”“The villa was just bought recently! Even the furniture hasn’t been used yet. Yet you tell me that the shower head broke on the first day? Is there really such a coincidence?”“Forget myself; the police wouldn’t even believe you!”“Do you think they’re idiots or something?”Yvonne frowned at June’s words.Before, Yvonne went around to get

“A trade?”Yvonne froze, stunned. Though she knew Hector harbored evil intentions, she wasn’t able to stop herself out of care for Harvey.Hector casually lit up a thin and long cigarette, and then took a huff.“At the end of the day, Ms. Miwa’s an Islander.”“Her death may or may not be important, depending on how the Islanders want it to be.”“You know that I have a bit of connection with the Islanders. With just a single word, I can make them stop pursuing Miwa’s death any further. With that, you’ll have a chance to nullify the situation.”“Besides, I know a few people in the Mordu Police Station. If you give me half an hour, I’ll be able to make a new testimony for every single witness.”“I can even make some of the solid evidence disappear into thin air.”“The media’s gossip will disappear within half an hour as well.”“In a short amount of time, our mighty Sir York will walk out unscathed, completely capable of living out the rest of his life in luxury.”“What do you th

The air inside the first branch Mordu Police Station turned cold, while the main hall had fallen into utter chaos.Inside the interrogation room, Harvey was pretending to sleep on the chair, his arms crossed.He had been locked there for an entire day. After he was kicked inside and given food and water at specific times, nobody talked to him.Harvey guessed that the police were heavily focused on the testimonies and evidence against him. Some were even trying to find traces of Harvey giving the order to blacklist Miwa.Despite him being the so-called culprit, no one bothered to interrogate him.It was unknown whether this was a psychological tactic, or if the police were actually trying to piece the evidence together…Even after twenty-four hours had passed, no one came to see Harvey.Harvey did not mind. He had seen a lot of things in life.After a good rest, Harvey started to deduct the specifics of the incident.He suspected that Miwa’s death was already planned a few days

Hector was quite the character, indeed.At least, in Harvey’s eyes, Hector had the right to challenge him.Creeeeak!Right as Harvey was trying to figure everything out, the door was suddenly pushed open. Three inspectors in formal uniforms walked, brimming full of energy.The inspector leading the group was the same one who had arrested Harvey. He stared at Harvey with narrowed eyes and demanded icily, “Harvey York, are you ready to confess?”“Doing things without a bottom line at such a young age…people like you are scum of the earth!”“Right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kristan Duncan. I’m the cousin of Garry, the mixed martial arts champion! I’m the squad leader of Mordu Police Station’s first branch!”“My cousin asked me to take good care of you when he visited me.”“But I don’t think there’s a need to be courteous to people like you!”“My cousin hates you to the core, yet for Ms. Xavier’s sake, he had to ask me to keep you safe with all my might!”“You’re s
