Soon, Dragon Cell's men managed to find the security camera's recording. When the recording was put on screen, everything was decided. While they couldn't be fully certain that Lanny was the one who planted the Soul-transference Technique's talisman on the nurse, it could prove that the nurse wasn't lying.If that was the case, Harvey would have nothing to do with them—whether they decided to continue with the investigation on Durandal's death or proceed in another way they wished. "I suppose the case could be considered settled for the time being, right?" Samuel suddenly asked.Geoffrey slowly raised his head without saying a word and looked at Harvey for a moment. Then, he said, "For the time being, yes. As for how this investigation will continue after this… That will be up to Grand City ourselves. Also, I'd like to apologize to Mr. Harvey on behalf of Grand City. What happened so far is our fault."Neve subconsciously called out, "Grandpa!"While Harvey had already been pro
Everyone in the court narrowed their eyes when they heard Lanny admit to it without any hesitation. Normally speaking, someone strong like her wouldn't admit to it so easily without waiting until the final moment and absolute proof of the crime.However, they grew suspicious when she admitted to her crimes so easily.Lanny smiled bitterly when she realized that everyone was suspicious of how quickly she admitted to the crime. "Mr. Geoffrey from Grand City is also here. What's the point of me saying anything that's so pointless? What else can I get by stalling other than to humiliate Grand City even further? I admit, Durandal's death made me furious. He was my best friend. Both of us grew up together and we have a deep bond."I was furious, and I also believed this had everything to do with Harvey! When I saw the evidence, I also felt that it was quite fake, but I still used the Soul-transference Technique that I managed to obtain from the Island Nation earlier on that nurse. My ob
"Currently, Country H is a country ruled by law. It's no longer a country that is ruled by an emperor. In this era, even the ruler could be judged by the same laws as the commoners. It's an era when the law's justice must be preserved at all costs. If Grand City frames Mr. Harvey, then they can frame someone else next time. In order to prevent something like this from happening, it's time to rectify Grand City's status and special rights."Jesse and Specter were among the best of the young generations within the Four Pillars. While their words couldn't represent the current leaders of the Four Pillars, they represented the voices of the younger generation.And from how Samuel and Lexie said nothing, their silence also represented their attitude in certain circumstances. In this case, all Four Pillars wanted to remove Grand City's special privileges.Harvey narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He knew someone else was pulling the strings. Earlier, he thought it was either Dan, Emery,
Not only was Geoffrey the leader of the Universal Sect, but he was also one of the Seven Predecessors of Grand City. For him to be able to join this joint trial, it proved that he had a lot of power and could decide plenty of things. When Geoffrey saw Samuel dumping the biggest trouble on him, he took a deep breath. A faint smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.He looked at Harvey, who was enjoying the show thus far, and said, "Mr. Harvey, everyone here is demanding that I pass on to you all the power and organizations we have beyond Grand City. Are you interested in them? Allow me to introduce them to you. Outside of Grand City, we have three halls. Heaven, Earth, and Purgatory. They manage everything that is related to the Grand City outside of the city itself. Once you have these powers, you can never be separated from us…""I want it." Harvey didn't even finish for Geoffrey to finish and agreed to it. "As per the bet, I want all the authority. I will give Grand City seve
Mandy whispered, "If that's the case, you'll officially intervene in everything that has to do with Grand City. They have too many resources and too much power… I'm very worried if an outsider would suddenly intervene…"Harvey patted Mandy's head and said calmly, "Don't worry. In truth, from the moment I became the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, it's already fated for everything to end like this. Even if what happened today didn't happen, something else will. Since it's only a matter of time, other than to deal with them as they come, the best way to deal with this is to be on the offensive."It's fine. You don't have to worry too much. With my personality, even if I really do take over Grand City's three halls, I'll simply find someone else to take over for me and stay behind the scenes. If I do that, as long as Grand City knows what to do and not make an enemy of me, it's going to be a happy ending for everyone involved, right?"Mandy said nothing after that, and cha
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
