“Everyone in the outskirts knows Mr. Neil has no hobbies other than painting and calligraphy!“It’s supposed to be something elegant, but worms like you keep finding opportunities to bribe him!“I hate shameless people like you the most!“Countless righteous officials get bribed by people like you!“More importantly, everything you have here is a complete set!“You’re telling me you’re not planning to give this all to Mr. Neil one by one?!“Are you telling me this isn’t your plan to bribe him?!“You’re heinous!”“Do you think this is all a gift to him just because it’s an expensive set?“You think he’s that impressive?”“Keep pretending!”Abner Sallow waved his hand before someone brought the bottle of Phoenix Ink.“This is what we obtained from Mr. Neil’s home!“That’s right! The one you gave him!“Your fingerprints are on it! Once we collect enough evidence…“You’re done for!“Admit that you were going to gift these to Mr. Neil so you could bribe him!“I’ll also ligh

“That’s exactly the plan!“Even without proof, it’s still legal to detain you for forty-eight hours!“If you’re not satisfied with it, then sue me!”Abner Sallow grinned.“Of course, you can try to oppose the law! That said, you don’t want to know what’ll happen after that!”Naturally, Abner was ready to fight to the bitter end.He was dead set on dragging Harvey York away.Harvey sighed. He could not get out of the situation with combat strength alone.Since Abner was going to act this arrogantly, Harvey had no choice but to get someone to talk to him.When Harvey was looking through his contacts on the phone, Abner instantly slapped it out of his hand.“What? Are you trying to contact someone?“No matter who you call, you’ll only hurt them!”Harvey caught the phone just in time, but his hand accidentally clicked on a number he had saved the night before.Neil Osborne’s name showed up on the screen.Harvey was just about to hang up when the call went through.“Who is it
Chapter 5971
Harvey York did not expect Neil Osborne actually to care about his reputation that much.That said, this was enough to prove one thing.Either Neil was truly fair and just…Or he was an extremely unfathomable person.Before Harvey could say anything, Neil spoke with a colder tone.“For Dutch’s sake, I won’t mind you calling me like this.“But when we end this call, please delete my number.“My career and honor will not allow me to be associated with you.“You’re on your own!”Neil quickly hung up the call after that.Harvey felt utterly speechless.It was his first time seeing someone this determined.Abner Sallow was disdainful when he heard Harvey and Neil’s conversation.“I was wondering who you’re calling to take me down!“I didn’t expect you’d call Mr. Neil of all people…“What a shame! He is a selfless man when it comes to his work!“For the sake of his reputation, I have to bring you in no matter what!“I’m even suspecting you to be from a rival country, here to

As the current person in charge of the outskirts’ Longmen branch…Mrs. Howell had immense authority and broad connections.In addition to being a member of a country’s cornerstone, her identity was clearly superior to Abner Sallow’s.Planning to be unreasonable, Abner had to lurch out of the place with his people.Harvey York seemed calm as he stared at Mrs. Howell.Mrs. Howell quickly retouched her makeup before respectfully walking toward Harvey.“Young Master.”Harvey squinted before smiling faintly.“Do you know me?”“No. I only thought that you were the man who saved my daughter, Kali.“I went home and talked to my family about the incident last night before showing a picture of you.“They recognized you as Longmen’s young master because of that.“The Inner and Outer Halls and thirty-six branch leaders are yours to command!“Thousands served under you! You’re Young Master York himself! “Then again, the family told me something.“You must have business since you’re

“Welt York?Amos Augustus briefly pondered about the situation before finally recalling the small fry.“The outer disciple?“Didn’t he suffer losses against Harvey multiple times already?“Why would he make another move?”Elaine Garcia merely smiled.“You gave him courage, Young Master Amos.“If it weren’t for your appearance…“He wouldn’t dare to go against Harvey York at all.“Then again, despite Welt’s idiocy…“There’s a benefit.“Neil Osborne is now going up against Harvey.“This is in our favor.“This is why I didn’t stop him after hearing about it.”Elaine leaned on the handrail with a smile.“Welt’s a little too impulsive…“But we can make use of him.“Just let him do the underhanded tricks.“When we’re done with him, we’ll just make him disappear.”“You people are too rash,” replied Amos.“Just let Harvey make connections with Neil if he wants to.“We shouldn’t be the ones getting worried anyway.”Elaine paused.“But, Xyla’s suffered so much because of hi

“Besides, you’re forgetting something crucial.Amos Augustus heaved a sigh before putting on a gloomy expression.“All your attention’s on Harvey, yet you completely ignored Neil.“It looks like you don’t care about Neil’s influence.“That said, within the government, he’s a trump card for the Osborne family.“If the family wants to have power in the royal court in the future, they have no choice but to support Neil’s rise to power.“From a particular perspective, using Neil would mean putting a spanner in the Osborne family’s plans.“If the family were to lash out in rage under such circumstance…“It’d be highly beneficial to us!“The more chaos we cause in the outskirts, the better…“But there’s a limit.“If everything loses control, do you really think the Smalt Sect could regain control?”Elaine Garcia showed a look of realization after hearing Amos’ words.At the same time, she looked at him with admiration in her eyes.‘As expected of the young master to think all t

“That’s why. It’s only normal that I lost against him before this.”Stefan Augustus seemed calm when he said those words.Aryan Augustus looked confused.Stefan had previously displayed prideful yet reckless behavior, a sense of resentment, craze, and helplessness, as a man who had his throne taken away from him.Nobody in Aenar Temple would dare disobey him…But that was simply out of fear.Then again, Stefan looked like a different man then.He was only a rabid dog who nobody dared to get close to…But then, he became a brave wolf plotting to take back his throne!His desire to fight back after enduring such humiliation was enough to strike more fear into people’s hearts.“What should we do now, Mr. Stefan?”Aryan took a deep breath, holding back the thoughts in his mind.Stefan looked at the Scuva Mountains with a smile.“If I were Amos, I would’ve scolded my subordinates before comforting them.“I’d tell them to halt all operations that go against Harvey.“After all,

Yasmin Osborne showed a sweet smile.“I figured I wouldn’t get my point across on the phone, Neil.“That was why I came.“I do hope that you’ll listen to me.”“Talk.”Neil Osborne glanced at the government building before finally heaving a sigh.Yasmin took a deep breath.“You shouldn’t push Harvey away, Neil. Your wife smashed his Phoenix Ink, but this might be an excellent opportunity for you.“I think you should invite him to the family banquet to discuss things.“Another thing. I heard that Quincy’s coming back to visit.“If we can get the young ones together. Maybe…”“Enough!Neil rudely interrupted Yasmin.“You think I don’t know?!“Do you think I don’t know what you did?!“You took the outskirts’ Longmen Branch to support Harvey!“Don’t you know I hate abusing authority for my own goals?!“You want Harvey to join the family banquet?!“You want my daughter to get close to him?!“What?“You actually want that man to be my son-in-law?“Impossible!Neil’s eyes
