The long-haired woman looked at Harvey disdainfully, as if she had figured out the truth. "That was why you did everything possible to get into the Jean of Mordu. When you realize you can't, you think the Xaviers aren't half bad, too.""Unfortunately, you didn't know just how useless you are. You didn't understand one thing. But sometimes, the more you want things to change, the more it'll stay the same. All of this is but a fool's errand. There are things that you're born with, and if you don't have it, you're already hopeless in your life. So, you should just give up now. Forget about dealing with Yvonne. You can't even deal with your coming problem with South Ocean Restaurant. And your luck is so bad, too, since someone from the Wright family is just around!" The long-haired woman smirked derisively.Not far away, an old man wearing a suit who looked like a manager quickly walked over. From the looks of it, he had been doing this for a long time. Rita also noticed the old man and
The Wright of Wolsing had many daughters, but only one person was bestowed the nickname princess, and that was Sienna—the woman who could stand against Emery Wright within the Wright family. In many people's understanding, when she finally ascended, she would become the queen of the Wright family. It was not an exaggeration to say that she had the highest prestige among all the young ladies within Wolsing.But someone like Sienna was waiting for a country bumpkin like Harvey in Room Number One?How… How was that even possible?Rita narrowed her eyes, her voice slightly shaking. "Mr. Braff… Did you get the wrong person? He's just a country bumpkin from the south. How can he have the right to have breakfast with Princess Wright?"Mr. Braff glanced at Rita and replied coldly, "What? Should our princess ask for your permission before deciding who to have breakfast with? Who do you think you are to meddle in the Wright family's affairs?""I…" The corner of Rita's eye twitched. She knew
Room Number One, Southern Ocean Restaurant.The room was not huge, only about 540 square feet. It was furnished with classic wooden furniture. They looked ordinary, but one could see the passing of time on them. Other than that, different kinds of breakfast items were already being served on the table.Cornbread, collard greens, buttermilk biscuits, bacon-studded scrambled eggs…While they were not haute cuisine, they made the entire room look alive.Sienna was sitting on one side of the table, wearing gold-framed glasses and looking at the information on her tablet. She had not been awake for long; the sleepiness in her eyes remained. She also did not put on any makeup.But even then, she was still just as beautiful.Harvey glanced at such a beautiful woman, simply pulled the chair, and sat down without any thoughts. "It has been a long while since we met at Flutwell, princess…""Indeed. But you're the one who didn't want to see me, Harvey…" Sienna said as she removed her glass
Harvey briefly narrowed his eyes before taking a deep breath. "Do you know when's the wedding?"Sienna looked at Harvey and said, "The day before the night of the full moon, one day before your duel with Shinto Way. That day is the day when Shingen and Yvonne would get married. If I'm correct, Shingen will take Yvonne to spectate your duel after their wedding! Then, before your duel, Shingen will announce his wedding with Yvonne to you. In other ways, Shingen will use Yvonne to affect you mentally."Harvey closed his eyes. After a long time, he asked, "Was this planned by the Xavier family? Or the Shinto Way?"There was not much change in Sienna's expression, and she passed the tablet in her hand to Harvey. "Based on my intel, it's most likely a coincidence. Firstly, the Xaviers and the Shinto Way already had some business exchanges early this year. Both sides worked well with each other."Secondly, the Shinto Way had already requested a political marriage quite some time ago, but
About half an hour later, Harvey reached the front of the ICU of Wolsing Grand Hospital.Other than Wilhelm's students and family members, dozens of people looked like they had held power for a long time. They were all from Dragon Palace.No matter how awkward Wilhelm's position was, he was still a member of Dragon Palace. Dragon Palace had to seek an explanation on his behalf if anything were to happen to him.Charlotte was among the crowd.However, she was standing at the sideline and obviously was not part of the same clique. Her eyes were fixed at the entrance. It was apparent that she was waiting for Harvey.When she finally saw Harvey, Charlotte quickly walked over and whispered, "You're finally here, sir."Harvey nodded. "How's the situation?"While he had no interest in a traitor, Wilhelm died the second day after they had just gotten into a scuffle at the Songstress's Stage the day before.Harvey had no choice but to take a personal look at this.Because if he did not
Harvey had a basic understanding of the situation from the photo. Then, he looked at Wilhelm's right hand. "Do you notice that? Wilhelm is completely not on his guard. Not even subconsciously. The person who did this was far more powerful than we think. Even if it was someone Wilhelm was familiar with, he was most definitely a powerful elite.""Definitely," Charlotte nodded. "But, I have another concern. Other than his speed, if this really were caused by the Island Nation's Zephyr Slash, the wound wouldn't be this shallow."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "There is truth in falsehood, and falsehood in truth. Normally speaking, if one wants to fake it, one would use the closest way to do it. But this wound … It feels like it's deliberately revealing a flaw that will surely be noticed. It's so deliberate that it's so conspicuous. That's why, if we approach this from this angle, I have a thought…"Charlotte was confused.Harvey continued, "The one who attacked is someone from the Island N
"Donald! You're from Country A! Now that you're here from your so-called cultured country, you should understand something simple… You need to provide proof for everything to determine one's crime!" Charlotte spoke to Donald with an icy stare."For you to accuse our representative Harvey of murder without any proof, what you're doing is slander! I understand you're angry because you lost a close friend, so I don't blame you for the outrage. But if this happens again, don't say I didn't warn you!" Charlotte said that and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, as if she was willing to fight if they refused to back down.After Charlotte had done this, plenty of figures appeared all over the hospital. It was obvious they were all enforcer students from the alliance. When they saw Charlotte had many more people on their side, Donald and his entourage were furious. They glared at Charlotte brutally, as if wanting to attack, but chose not to since Charlotte had more people on her side.
"You…" Donald was so furious that he could not stop shaking. "You're making things up, Harvey! Even if I wanted to do something like that, I wouldn't have killed Wilhelm! He's a dear friend!"Then, Harvey said, "Does that matter to a person like you? You can even kill your own father as long as the price is right, much less someone unrelated to you."Donald could not stop shuddering when he heard that. However, he knew that Harvey was not completely wrong."Mr. Harvey, are all people from your country just like you? Refusing to admit to the crimes you commit? But I have proof that you're the one who killed the deacon!" A cold voice came from the other side of the corridor at this time."We went to the crime scene where William was murdered just now. We found a longsword with your fingerprint on it. This is the smoking gun. What else do you have to say?"Harvey turned and looked at the owner of the voice. He was one of the three primary disciples of Shinto Way, Mitsuki. She walked
