After Harvey slapped Elric, he turned around and just left as everyone else could only watch in shock. He did not say or do anything else after that.Meanwhile, Elric held the right side of his face in disbelief. The expression on his face changed from shock and anger to viciousness. And then, he bellowed as he looked into the sky.It was as if a shade of madness had stained him.-Harvey's expression was filled with deliberation after leaving the alley leading to Elric's office. He had gained some understanding of Country H Commercial Group during this time. After George had arrived, he had already helped Harvey with his investigations.For example, while Country H Commercial Group looked like a group that was not that tight, the commercial group held many shares of important corporations within the country. Country H Commercial Group held many of these shares as a proxy for the corporations from either County A or the Island Nation.Which meant while some corporations looked li
The Lamborghini sped onto the highway, blending in with the endless stream of vehicles.Harvey was enjoying the scenery on the side. Shortly after, he noticed that all the skyscrapers and high-rise buildings were slowly disappearing from view. Even the signature building of Wolsing also slowly receded from his vision.The buildings around him are slowly becoming more classical. It was not long until an estate came into his view.Brick roads separated the estates here, and statues on both sides guarded the entrances of many of the estates. It was obvious that this place was where the nobilities of the past dynasties used to stay.In ancient times, this place was where the nobilities lived their daily lives. All the buildings he saw right now were beyond the reach of most commoners.Of course, it was the same for this era as well. Commoners did not even have the right to apply to become household staff or even cleaners in this place.The car quickly stopped outside a huge estate lo
Harvey felt like he was looking at concubines from a bygone era as he looked at the women, old-fashioned and drowned in decadence. He instinctively felt disgusted."Were you looking for me, stepmother?"It seemed like Journi did not like what she was looking at as well, but she still started the conversation with a blank expression.It was obvious that the woman who won the card game was Elric's current wife, Pamela Thompson. She was barely a few years older than Journi."Stepmother?" Pamela glanced coldly at Journi. "I told you many times. You can either call me mom or mother. You keep on calling me stepmother… Will you only be satisfied by reminding me that I'm your father's subsequent wife? Or maybe you think I can't deal with you after you mocked me like that?"Pamela was sneering at this time, and she seemed surrounded by an air of arrogance that Harvey could not really put his finger on. However, Harvey could already tell from Pamela's last name that she was most likely some
Harvey looked at Pamela with a dry smile. It seemed like Pamela was really treating herself like a big shot. He wondered what her expression would be if she knew he was the one who killed the Thompson family's scion, Hector.Before Harvey could say anything, Journi had already taken a step forward and gave Pamela a cold glare. "I'm warning you, stepmother. You should stop insulting my boyfriend. Since he's my boyfriend, I will protect him. Even if he's living off of me, it won't change the truth that he's my boyfriend."I'm also clarifying my stance one more time. I'm not interested in Emery. Never have and never will. So, you can stop building castles in the cloud and try to match the two of us.""Ha! You must have watched too many teen dramas," the expression on Pamela's face did not change much even after being rejected by Journi as she simply watched with interest. "Do you know I've hired someone to be my fake boyfriend and played the same act when I was younger? At the time, I
"You…!" When Pamela heard what Journi proclaimed, she stood up out of sheer anger and pointed her finger at Journi. She wanted to say something but realized that nothing she said would carry any meaning at this time. Journi was willing to sacrifice her life; what else could Pamela say to threaten her?When the thought crossed Pamela's mind, she turned her attention to Harvey. Obviously, there was nothing she could do to Journi. Then, she had to switch her target. Her expression darkened as she narrowed her cold eyes at Harvey. "I don't care who you are or where you're from, boy."I'm going to make this simple. If you still value your life, you should leave, immediately. You don't know what lies under the murky depths of our family, but you should have heard about the Wright family. They're one of the top ten families in Country H. A marriage between our two families has already been determined. It doesn't matter who you are, interfere with this, and you'll only end up dead!"There w
Harvey had slapped Elric? He also had killed Hector?Those were two simple statements, but the content of those statements was enough to make them shudder.The three middle-aged women and Pamela were not the only ones stunned. Even Journi instinctively turned and looked at Harvey in disbelief. They could not believe what Harvey had just said.If slapping Elric was at least plausible and could occur, then they were unsure how he could still stand there as if nothing had happened after killing Hector. That was not something that could possibly happen in the real world.Hector was one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, after all. He was always accompanied by elite fighters wherever he went. It was impossible for him to get killed by someone like Harvey.After the initial shock, Pamela quickly collected herself. She coldly looked at Harvey and said, "You're overreacting after I commented. Do you think someone like you has the right to slap my husband? And even kill the Thompsons' s
There were mixed feelings in Journi's eyes as she felt the emotion within Harvey's words.Journi grew up in a single-parent household since she was little, and her father was the kind of person who would just sell her for profit. Despite being called a princess, she was just a young woman who had lived with a different burden that was no less heavy.She had never had a source of safety since she was young. She did not expect that she would get it from Harvey. Not to mention, Journi could sense that he was different from the other men who simply wanted her.Harvey's protectiveness of her did not involve any kind of perversion.It was so rare."Enough, boy. You really think you're someone important, now?" Pamela suddenly stood up with her arms folded in front of her chest, her eyes filled with viciousness. She looked at Harvey as if she could kill him for a long while before she snorted and said, "Journi, are you going to get rid of this man yourself? Or will you wait until securi
Pamela raised her hand, and the dozens of men in black immediately advanced and blocked Harvey and Journi's path.Harvey looked at the men and said calmly, "Mrs. Stanton, seeing that you're my girlfriend's stepmother, you still have time to stop. If it were someone else, I would have already slapped them away. What do you think?"The middle-aged woman chuckled and did not believe Harvey at all. They all looked at Harvey as if they were looking at the most foolish man they had ever seen. Pamela narrowed her eyes when she looked at Harvey and said bitterly, "Do you really think I won't dare to touch you just because we live in a country ruled by law?"Harvey calmly replied, "Does someone like you even care about the law? Of course, you can do whatever you want to me, but you should consider if you can accept the consequences of your actions. Don't say I didn't warn you if there's nothing left of you to be buried in the end."Pamela scoffed. "You little fool. You deserve a little prai
