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
When Harvey looked at how righteous Mitsuki was trying to portray herself, he was unsure how to react.Meanwhile, Donald immediately gave Mitsuki a thumbs up and said, "Just as expected from one of the three primary disciples of the Shinto Way, Mitsuki! Not only can you fight, but you're also guided by righteousness! With Mitsuki willing to preside over what's right, this means that there's still justice in this world. It also means that in Country H, those with power will still be punished!"Then, Donald gave Harvey a complacent smile, feeling that Harvey would have to submit even if he refused.Charlotte frowned when she saw what had happened.The Islanders were known for their particularity. They would never act rashly before they had all the evidence.However, from Mitsuki's reaction… Could it be that Harvey really did kill Wilhelm? But Charlotte instantly felt that it was impossible. For someone like Harvey, if he really had something against Wilhelm, he would handle it on th
Harvey did not expect Charlotte to be willing to fight the Shinto Way for him until the very end. However, he did not want Charlotte to fight for him now.Looking at the crowd gathering around them, itching to get a fight and the people from Dragon Palace… Then he noticed Mitsuki's deep smile…Harvey sighed.He did not mind fighting the Islanders here.But if he fought with the people from Dragon Palace because of him, no matter who won, it would be a disgrace if news of this spread. Harvey raised his right hand and said, "Charlotte, no need to fight here. Didn't Mitsuki say she has enough evidence to the point that the officers from Dragon Cell are with her? If that's the case, then let's investigate. I believe I can prove my own innocence.Harvey ignored them and left the ICU.When Mitsuki and Donald saw what had happened, they looked and smiled deeply at each other and quickly followed him.-Half an hour later. In the interrogation room, Dragon Cell Wolsing branch.As th
"Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you just surrender?" Mitsuki looked at Harvey with a smirk.Harvey calmly replied, "Firstly, I have no interest in framing you Islanders. Because logically speaking, the weak will frame the strong. In my eyes, all of you Islanders are nothing. You're not even on my radar."Secondly, if I really want to kill Wilhelm, will I be so stupid to kill him just after he and I were in a scuffle earlier? Can't I wait for a few more days?"Thirdly, you showed a fingerprint and said all the evidence is clear. But you can lift my fingerprints from my residence and my office."Fourthly, you Islanders have just used Donald and Wilhelm to threaten me, so they'll make me give up on the duel. But when that fails, I'm suddenly accused of being a murderer, as if I'll go to prison at any time."There are too many coincidences. I believe the one who killed Wilhelm is someone from Island Nation, so that you can frame me.""Us? Framing you?" Mitsuki said as i
