Harvey focused his eyes before sighing. "Does that mean I owe him one too?""Yes," replied Ethan with a heavy heart."Alright. Since I owe him one, and so did the entire country, then I'm going to get involved. Once the joint trial ends, I'll enter Grand City and find out the truth for his sake."After hearing that, Ethan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lanny and the others with pity. Those who framed Harvey were going to have a taste of their own medicine soon.Ethan believed that once Harvey entered Grand City, all the seven families would never be able to rest well ever again…The others did not know what was going through Harvey's mind. But when they saw Geoffrey appear, Samuel greeted him with a smile. As for Lanny, Clarion, and the others, they all sighed in relief, as if they had finally seen their messiah.It was five in the morning.It was the time when people succumbed to sleep the easiest and psychologically most susceptible.The joint trial officially began in the u
"Very well. Since there are no objections… We shall begin the trial," the Yamaraja said as he looked at Mandy."Mandy. You are the operator of the underground fighting arena, are you not?""Yes," Mandy said as she nodded her head. "To be exact, the Ninth branch is operating the ring.""Good. Then, when Durandal took his men to your underground fighting arena and won hundreds of millions, is that why you hate him?" asked Justitia with coldness in her eyes. "That was true in the very beginning," explained Mandy. "You must have known that the Ninth Branch had some big issues regarding our cash flow, and we have been dependent on the underground fighting arena. In the beginning, when Durandal won so much money and provoked our guests against us, of course, I hated him."However, Harvey came and helped us later on. Not only did Harvey make him lose all the money he previously won, and then some. He managed to solve our cash flow issue because of that. Harvey even severed Durandal's ar
Harvey then took out his mobile, connected it to the court's system, and played a video. In the video, he was either reading a book or drinking from his cup. The clock and everything behind him could prove his whereabouts at that time."I also have documents from the country's reputable institutions that can prove the time, location, and date. They can also prove that my clip is unedited. This is my alibi. If you say that your video can prove I'm the culprit, then my video can refute that."Lanny could not help but yell, "Stop lying, Harvey! You're the one in the video!""Just because you're stupid doesn't mean we're all stupid," argued Harvey calmly. "If I really am going to murder Durandal, the first thing I'm doing is to take out the security cameras. Even if I don't, I should wear a mask, right? Not only did I not prepare anything, but I even showed my face before leaving so the camera could capture my face… Who would do something as stupid as this?"Lanny paused briefly, askin
Yamaraja's voice became gentler as he spoke to the nurse, "Don't be afraid. We have asked you to reveal who the murderer was from that night. Simply follow your heart. Once this is done, we shall do as we promised. We will help your family migrate to a place where no one knows you and give you enough to live the rest of your days peacefully."The woman took a deep breath and quickly nodded after she heard that. Then, she took a few steps in front and carefully observed the six masked figures who looked similar. After looking at everyone, her sigh quickly fell on Harvey. Then, she lightly said, "I think it's him. Because that night, when he spoke to me, he also looked at me with such callous eyes. They're still like water, and I couldn't feel anything at all…"Upon hearing the woman's testimony, all eyes fell on Harvey.Then, Yamaraja coldly asked, "Harvey, how do you plea?"Harvey smiled and removed his mask, then sat back down. "Are you sure the person you met is me?"The woman n
Harvey did not waste his breath and immediately dashed to the woman's side and immediately bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood on her forehead. After Harvey had done that, the woman's condition seemed to have improved slightly, and she also stopped shaking."Where's the knife?!" Harvey asked one more time. After some hesitation, Blade gave Harvey the longsword he had. Harvey grabbed the longsword and then sliced open her palms, the soles of her feet, and then her back.Initially, Lanny and the others did not believe Harvey's actions would be effective. However, they soon noticed that as Harvey performed each action, the woman's twitching became weaker and less frequent.And then, the moment Harvey cut the woman's forehead, a talisman immediately flew out from inside.The talisman seemed to have a mind of its own and immediately attacked Harvey. However, just as it was going to reach Harvey's forehead, Harvey immediately stabbed the talisman using the tip of the sword onto t
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
