“What should we do, then…?” Romina said, hesitant.“Nothing. Don’t try to erase the leads, and don’t let anyone find out that we already figured out the situation, either.”Harvey squinted outside the window.“Since we’ve found all this out easily, Neil and Yasmin would be able to do the same once they calm down. If we tell them about this now, they’ll think we hid the truth. After all, that man…”Harvey chuckled.Romina looked at him oddly; Harvey had already figured out Neil’s entire personality… And yet, that man was still trying to fight back.What a joke!“Right, how’s Quincy right now?” Romina asked. “She’s fine. I planned to help for Yasmin’s sake…but Neil wouldn’t let me. He cares too much about his reputation.“He got Prince and the others to help. I know those three; they wouldn’t be able to save Quincy, but it wouldn’t be hard for them to keep her alive.“If Neil begs for me to help, I’ll consider. But if he’s still going to be stubborn, then there’s no one to bla
Yasmin took a deep breath.“Everyone did their best yesterday.“Prince even brought Heaven’s Gate’s secret medicine to protect Quincy’s heart. Even then, they couldn’t deal with her cluttered energy in the end.“Quincy’s holding onto life for a little longer, but the problem’s still there.“I already told Neil to invite you in person…but he’s too proud to do that. He knows you’re his only hope of saving Quincy, too…”Harvey sighed.“Sometimes, one’s life depends on the thoughts of another. I’ll say again: I’m probably the only person who can save Quincy. You can let me know if I’m needed. I respect you, after all.”Harvey comforted Yasmin before changing the subject.“Right, Mrs. Yasmin. You didn’t call me just for this, did you?”Harvey understood Yasmin pretty well. There must’ve been urgent business; it was probably related to Longmen as well.If not, she wouldn’t have called in the first place. Quincy’s predicament was just small talk.“As expected of you to see through
This was the first time Longmen had ever encountered something like this.Harvey could tell this was the Smalt Sect’s doing. At the same time, he was almost sure that Amos started this.After all, things could be fabricated both ways.Those who’d do something like this would always prefer to make it seem like they didn’t.On the one hand, Amos could complete his goal flawlessly. On the other hand, he could use the opportunity to shift the blame to Stefan.Judging from this, Neil should be able to figure out the truth behind his daughter’s injuries.If not, Amos wouldn’t have taken action so quickly.Harvey ignored the commotion in front of him, and went to the side of the building according to Yasmin’s instructions.After making a call for a moment, Harvey saw Ernie sneaking out through a door crack. He started to panic, as if he was guilty of something, but immediately let out a sigh of relief after seeing Harvey’s face.“Sir York! Why are you here?” he asked instinctively.
“You’re the top vice branch leader of the outskirts’ branch, Wesson,” Kali said, glaring coldly at the man before her.“But don’t forget—you came from headquarters. Your strength and reputation are mediocre. You want to take a higher position? Keep dreaming!“Let me tell you something! I will never agree to your conditions! Are you going to leave yourself? Or do you want me to throw you out of here instead?”The man smiled, and crossed his legs.“Why say those hurtful words, Kali?“Since you know I came from headquarters, you should know I have a lot of connections and power.“Your father’s just a cripple at this point. Do you want him to stay as a branch leader? That’s not a good look now, is it?“After all, Longmen is one of the four cornerstones of the country. We can’t avoid getting into conflict. If a cripple’s going to lead thousands of disciples, I’ll be worried!“Besides, we don’t even know what’s going to happen to Mr. Neil’s daughter. Who’s going to take responsibilit
“I’m only showing you respect because of your father’s accomplishments!“If it were anyone else, I would’ve razed their entire family to the ground before turning the beautiful women into my playthings!“You think you’re impressive just because I’m giving you my respect? How ignorant can you get?!”Wesson slammed the table furiously.“I’ll give you ten minutes to do everything I tell you to! If not, I’ll make sure your whole family dies!”Wesson looked as if he had Kali under his control.“I’ll give you ten minutes too, then. Kneel, break your arm, then deal with whatever’s going on outside as an apology.”Before Kali could say anything, Harvey came in through the door.“If not, you and the people supporting you will pay a huge price.”‘Harvey?!’Kali froze; then, a hint of joy crossed her face. She knew just how impressive Harvey was; she was certain the Howell family would be saved.This was about Longmen. No matter how strong Harvey was, he wouldn’t dare get involved with
Who was Wesson?In Longmen, he was an extremely authoritative figure. His uncle was none other than Bryce Kennedy, the vice master of Longmen.After coming to the outskirts, his status rose to even greater heights. Both the higher-ups and disciples of the branch had no choice but to show him respect.This was why he managed to become the top vice branch leader of the outskirts’ branch at such a young age.His intention to become the branch leader was just to add on to his resume, so he’d get a position as a higher-up in headquarters in the future.Despite that, Harvey still went against someone like him.The people behind Wesson chuckled in disbelief.Harvey ignored them, and checked his watch again. “There goes another two minutes.”“What a show-off!” Wesson snarled, glaring disdainfully at Harvey.“Who do you think you are? I’m talking to a beautiful woman here! You have no right to speak up right now!“If I want to, you’d die in a car crash as soon as you walk out the fron
Harvey looked calmly at his watch before dialing a number on his phone.“There’s someone called Wesson in Longmen, right? He committed multiple crimes, disobeyed his superiors, and took advantage of the people. Deal with it.”Then, Harvey hung up.He had called Rachel. Even though she wasn’t with him, she was still in charge of the Longmen Law Enforcement Hall. A task like this wasn’t difficult for her at all.After all, the law enforcement hall had a high status in the Inner and Outer Eight Halls, and the thirty-six branches. As long as they abided by the rules, even the Elder Group wouldn’t dare question them.They started looking into Wesson soon after.To Wesson, Harvey was just trying to show off in front of him. He had an immense reputation and identity within Longmen; there was no way he’d be scared of someone like Harvey.The beautiful women were looking at Harvey as if he was a clown. They thought Harvey’s acting was a little too much.‘Who is Wesson?‘Forget the fact
After a few phone calls, Wesson showed a horrible expression.‘It’s real! The law enforcement hall has actually issued a warrant to capture me!‘They said Rachel was behind this too! The law enforcement squad has no choice but to obey!‘Three minutes to hand over my duties is already respect enough… I’ll be finished if I’m not careful!’A beautiful woman who kept looking down on Harvey quickly changed her expression, and hurriedly went to Wesson’s side.“What do we do now, Young Master Wesson? This kid probably has connections with the law enforcement hall!” she said nervously. “So what? The law enforcement hall’s at the top of the Eight Inner and Outer Halls, but that doesn’t matter. There’s no point for you people to be scared!“Let me tell you something! Even if I give up right now, the law enforcement squad wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me!”Wesson scoffed coldly at the beautiful woman before sizing up Harvey and Kali.“You have your tricks…but it’s useless! Your people c
