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
Harvey instinctively looked at Billie, and saw her excited expression. He was completely speechless.‘Aren’t you a little too confident? Do you really think I’m actually interested in you?’Despite that, Harvey was moved to see Harlan trying to save him despite the latter’s family in uproar. He smiled at Harlan and began to speak, completely ignoring Whitley in the process.“Thank you for this, Uncle Harlan.“Don’t worry. I’m not interested in Billie. The arranged marriage was just a blank promise, anyway. No need to put that to heart.“As for this mess, I can deal with it myself.”Harlan froze, filled with disbelief.Whitley was shocked at first, but then her face turned cold. She was certain Harvey was either playing dumb, or trying to bait sympathy.“Did you hear that? You came all the way here to save him,” she snarled, scoffing, “but what happened? He doesn’t even care about you! What are you still staying here for? Are you that sentimental?”Whitley dragged Harlan out
Harlan sighed; he knew he had no way to deal with his wife.“He’s still family to us, Whitley…” he said. “Are you insane?” Whitley chuckled coldly. “He said he doesn’t want anything to do with Billie anymore. If that’s the case, I hope he rots in the building for the rest of his life!”Not just Harlan, even Billie frowned after hearing those words.“I don’t like Harvey, but there’s no need to talk like that either, Mom,” she said. “That’s right! He’s a kind man who can fight well. He has a good relationship with the Surrey family’s fifth lady, too,” Judith said. “Someone like him shouldn’t be locked up!”Whitley scoffed, and sized up Judith.“Since you have a good relationship with my daughter, I’ll let you in on a secret.“Harvey provoked Stefan himself! That bastard doesn’t know what he got himself into, but the Surrey family’s different.“Look here! Do you think he can get out of here without spending three to five years in jail? If that’s the case, I’ll eat up the floorb
