“Of course, it doesn’t matter how angry Stefan is.“He won’t do anything to you today. After all, he’d get too much attention if he does.”Harvey was calm.There was something else that he didn’t say.No matter how rich and powerful Stefan was… This was the Aenar Temple’s territory.Stefan had tons of ways to deal with Harvey as long as he played within the rules… But if he planned to lay his hands on Aria, he’d have to seek support from prominent figures with powerful forces. If he did that, though, he’d be seen as desperate.These prominent figures might not lend their forces that easily, either.Aria thought about the situation for a moment.“Would you want to leave first? Even if they’re trying to…”Harvey was speechless; he didn’t think that the fourth lady of the Surrey family would be this silly sometimes.“It’s fine. If I can’t even deal with such a small situation…” he said, tapping Aria’s shoulder. “I would’ve died countless times by now.”Aria bit on her lip w
After getting the feeling that Harvey touched the ID, the inspector took a few steps back. He pulled out his firearm and pointed it at Harvey’s head.He then waved his hand, signaling for the other inspectors to step up. Loud clacks were heard as the inspectors removed the safeties of their guns, looking fierce. “What are you doing?” Harvey showed an innocent expression. “I only took a look at your ID! There’s no need for this.”The inspector’s face darkened instantly.“You’re being arrested, Harvey York! You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used in the court of law!”Before Harvey could say anything, Aria had already gotten out of the car with a frown.“I am Aria Surrey of the Luster Tribe! I don’t know who you’re going against for doing this…but you better keep your firearms away from this!“Another thing! Sir York is our important guest. Going against him would mean going against the entire Surrey family!”The inspector scoffed.“We know the
After all, the dizzy pill incident had been shaking up the entire outskirts recently.If Harvey were blamed for this, not only would the inspectors be renowned for solving the case… Harvey would be taken out as well.No matter how powerful he was, no matter how strong of a background he had, he’d be trapped in a hopeless situation.The inspector quickly calmed himself down.He fearlessly tore the tape off his ID and burned it with a lighter, then glared coldly at Harvey.“It doesn’t matter if you’re a suspect or not! You’re coming with us regardless!“If not, we can shoot you down in the name of the law!“It doesn’t matter if you’re the holder of a Black Card, or an important guest of the Surrey family! The law will always prevail!”He waved his hand before speaking up again.“Go!”“How dare you?!” Aria exclaimed.Wildcat came out of the car with a cold expression as well.However, Harvey shook his head calmly. “It’s fine. I’ll go with them. You should head back first, Ms
Vroom!Half an hour later, the police car stopped in front of the police station in the outskirts’ new district.“Out!” the inspector snarled, glaring coldly at Harvey.Harvey casually walked out before glancing around him. The outskirts were a big place, but the resources here were inferior compared to big cities.Other than being a police station, this was also a place to detain people. Simply put, before being convicted, those who broke the law would be kept here for forty-eight hours.Instead of taking Harvey to the main building, the inspector took him to the side, where a black building stood.Two other inspectors glared coldly at him inside the checkroom.“Please remove your belongings before entering. When you’re cleared of your suspicion, we’ll return everything to you again.”A plastic bag was thrown on top of the wooden board in front of Harvey.The inspector appeared somewhat greedy as he glared coldly at Harvey. Harvey smiled at the inspector; he wasn’t in a rush
“Oh!”Realization dawned on Harvey, and he slapped his head.“You’re not talking about the bead I bought, are you? Why didn’t you say so in the first place?”He sighed.“There wouldn’t be so many misunderstandings if that was the case. What a shame!”“Enough nonsense! Take it out already! If you’re deemed guilty, then we have to confiscate the bead!” yelled the inspector. Harvey smiled. “It’s not that I don’t want to. I just don’t have it.”“You don’t?!” The inspector placed the barrel of his firearm on Harvey’s head. “Do you want to die?!”“No need to be that scary, inspector… Let me find an excuse and explain the situation first.“I only bought the bead because it can protect me from disasters. “When you people pointed your guns at me at the highway, I immediately understood.“I was in deep trouble! It was time for the bead to show its effect! So, I split it in half. “Still, it doesn’t seem like it’s working at all. Even small fries like you are causing me trouble righ
“Harvey! You’ll suffer a horrible death for this!” the inspector roared, his tone fierce but desperate.“You wouldn’t be able to see that, though.”Harvey tapped the inspector’s face while adjusting his collar, then fearlessly pulled out the ID in the latter’s pocket.“Freddie Robbins? What a lame name.”Harvey played around with the ID.“I have other peculiar hobbies aside from having a lot of money, Inspector Freddie.“I help people decorate houses. Would you be in need of that service? I can look at your house for free if you want.”Harvey slapped Freddie in the face, making him stumble. The other inspectors glared furiously at Harvey, but none could do anything. Their backs were drenched with cold sweat as they looked at Harvey; at that moment they felt extremely guilty.A man who dared to break a 1.3 billion dollar bead in half, and assert his dominance over someone like Stefan…Was surely far superior compared to nobodies like them.“What’s this? You’re still not open
“How dare an outsider go against a prominent figure here?! At this point, he’s just digging his own grave!“I’m warning you, Harlan!“In the first place, you’re barely considered family. If you get involved with an outsider, nobody can save you when you get into trouble!”Whitley crossed her arms as she strode into the main hall of the police station.Billie hesitated to speak; she had no choice but to remain invisible as her parents argued. “Do whatever you want, Whitley. If you don’t want to get involved, then leave already,” Harlan said, frowning. “I don’t need your help, anyway.”“Oh? Is that so? Who was the one who walked circles around me after getting the news? Who was the one who only dared to come after I said so?”Whitley’s face was filled with disdain. “I’m warning you, Harlan! I don’t care if you’re garbage. But, I will never allow my daughter to marry one as well!“I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with Harvey. I don’t care how long you two go back
The inspectors froze, revealing horrible expressions.At this point, it wasn’t about bailing Harvey…‘Don’t you understand just how impressive the person in front of you is…?‘Even the captain was humiliated by him! We don’t dare open our mouths in front of him!‘And yet, you look as if we’re taking advantage of him?! What a joke! We wouldn’t dare!’Whitley frowned. “Did you forget what I told you?” she snapped coldly at Harlan. “All you talk about is bailing him out! He lives in your villa that I bought with my own money! How ignorant can you get?”She then smiled at the inspectors.“Can you give us some space to talk?”The two instinctively glanced at Harvey; seeing his calm expression, they walked out hesitantly.Harlan took a seat in front of Harvey, and started to speak. “What happened, Harvey? You need to tell me, so I can fix the problem.”Facing Whitley’s disdain and Harlan’s worry, Harvey came to his senses.“Thank you for caring about me, Uncle Harlan, but I’ll b
