It had already been half an hour since Harvey was sitting in the interrogation room.He figured that the arrangements he asked of Yvonne were just about done. All he needed to do was wait. However, he was still a little curious as the person he expected hadn’t shown up yet.The situation in the outskirts was a lot more confusing than he initially thought. Stefan’s power was no less than extraordinary, too.Bam!The door was kicked open. Three inspectors walked inside, and signaled the two in the room to leave. They then sat right in front of Harvey.The inspector in the middle was a woman about twenty-five years old; she had short hair, with a beautiful face. She crossed her legs as she sat down, revealing black stockings that the two other inspectors couldn’t help but glance at.Harvey looked curiously at the woman. Judging from the situation, he expected to see the second-in-command of the police station. So, who was the woman in front of him?“Let me introduce myself.”The

Harvey shrugged.“Taking down the video would be good for you. After all, you wouldn’t have to deal with any public pressure. But how would I benefit from that?”Rae smiled.“Without public pressure, we can ensure you’ll be treated fairly. If not, we’ll simply have to prove that you’re the culprit—no matter what.”Harvey chuckled. “You’re threatening me? You’d slander me like this? Where’s your shame?”Bam!Another inspector slammed his hand on the table.“Watch your mouth! This isn’t a threat!“Let me tell you something! We have all the proof we need!“You’ve been locked up here for a while. We managed to gather all the witnesses and evidence to prove you guilty. “You better not refute anything. If not, you’ll only end up worse!”“The video shows how Inspector Freddie tried to get my fingerprints to frame me for something I didn’t do. Do you really think that anyone would believe you people after seeing that?” Harvey countered.“It doesn’t matter if they don’t! As long as

“You want the One-Eyed Bead? Just say the word. Will everything go back to normal once you have it?” Harvey said. Rae froze; she didn’t think that Harvey would be so upfront. “You robbed it from a prominent figure with your heinous ways! If you give it to me, I’ll speak up for you,” she said. “That’s it?”Harvey chuckled. “Forget it, then. Bring me my phone. I’ll ask your boss about what happened here. How did he manage to turn you all into a bunch of dirty scumbags?”“Enough! You talk like you actually have power here! If you actually did, how did you even get in this mess in the first place?!”Rae waved her hand for someone to bring Harvey’s phone, then threw it on the table.“Go ahead! Make the call! We’ll see how you call my boss!” she snarled.‘Trash like this is trying to show off, just because he has some money? What a joke!’Harvey quickly switched on his phone, and looked at the number Ethan texted him.Beep, beep, beep!Soon, a respectful yet excited voice cou

The other two inspectors looked disdainful after hearing Rae talk down on Harvey.‘What can a young kid from a big city like him even do?’ they thought.“This doesn’t make sense!”Rae’s beautiful face was filled with arrogance.“Uncle Harlan’s not that impressive of a man, but he won’t just let a show-off like you marry Billie, right? Is he blind or what?“Or did you manage to fool him with your pretty words? If my father arranged my marriage with someone like you, I’d kill you as soon as I see you!”The inspectors chuckled scornfully after hearing Rae’s words.‘That’s what you get for showing off like that! You’d have to pay sooner or later!’Harvey smiled; he didn’t seem threatened at all. “I suggest you wrap a few more layers of cloth around your knees. It’d be more convenient for you to kneel later.”“Keep pretending! We’ll see what happens!”Rae had nothing but disgust on her face.“Keep at it if you dare! We’ll see if you’re worth anything by then!“Even if you have y

Through his experience and strength, Dutch managed to achieve great accomplishments in just three years.Not only did he single-handedly capture eighteen of the toughest bandits in the outskirts, but he wiped out thirty-six rogue gangs here as well.The outskirts’ security had risen and become much better ever since he rose to power. Even the Border Force had to show their respect by not causing trouble here.Safe to say, the young director of the police station was a rare sight to behold. Because of his achievements, the Mammoth Tribe even chose him as a candidate to succeed his family. His resume, background, and power were simply extraordinary.Dutch, who usually gave others a warm feeling, stepped out of the car with a darkened face.“Director Dutch!” Rae and the others said while saluting him.Asher, Harlan, Judith, and their families instinctively stepped forward as well. “Director Dutch!”“It’s been a while, Director Dutch. Last time…” Asher said, smiling. “Enough!”

“S…Sir York! Hello!”The door was pushed open. Dutch tidied up his uniform, and went inside.Even a prominent figure like him felt extremely nervous the moment he stepped into the room. He felt as if he was about to witness his god.As soon as he laid eyes on Harvey’s gaze, he instantly knew. The Head Coach had hidden his identity in coming here. Dutch, in his excitement, almost uttered that name. He stooped right in front of Harvey, not knowing whether he should stand or sit.Harvey raised his head, and glanced at Dutch. “Let’s talk.”“You hear that?! Everybody out!” Dutch yelled. He instantly chased everyone out of the room, then locked the door and pulled the plug of all surveillance cameras inside.“It’s my fault my subordinates are like this! I’m sorry you’re suffering because of this…” he said, after saluting respectfully.“Don’t worry about it.”Harvey smiled.“Power means everything here. There are all sorts of different forces in the outskirts as well.“You’re no

Dutch smiled.“There’s something you don’t know, Head Coach. As a sect, the Aenar Temple has peculiar habits. It’s said that they have a lot of magical instruments hidden in one of the statues.“The statue broke, causing a lot of those instruments to fall out. They needed to perform a ritual so they could take the instruments away to be rebuilt.“The entire process is extremely important for them. That was why they requested the government to bring us for their security work.”Harvey pondered the situation.“Out of all those instruments, is the legendary Two-Eyed Bead also included? It’s also going to show up at their ceremony later, right?”Dutch froze.“How did you know about that? Even in the Aenar Temple, this is a huge secret.“It’s said that the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, and the sacred martial arts training grounds are interested in the bead.“I’ve been catching a lot of thieves because of it, too. Security work is grueling there…

Dutch Cobb briefly thought about the situation.“I understand.“Another thing; Evermore’s probably behind the situation as well.“Other than that, the three great temples aren’t exactly righteous entities either.“The water’s too deep here.”Harvey York stood before tapping Dutch on the shoulder.“You’re lucky that I’m here.“If not, even your family would probably be destroyed because of this…”Cold sweats started dripping down Dutch’s back when he finally came to his senses.“I’ll quit the job immediately…”“Who’s asking you to quit?Harvey cracked a smile.“Who’s going to be my support here if you do?“I can’t just tell everyone I’m the Head Coach now, can I?“Listen to me! Make up an excuse! It doesn’t matter if it’s a cold or your stomach hurts!“Pretend to be sick!“It doesn’t matter if you do security work for Aenar Temple.“We’ll just have to watch the show when the time comes.Harvey quickly changed the topic.“Right. Let’s talk business. If I’m just an ordi
