Vaughn had the aura of a rich playboy, but his white uniform made him appear quite refreshing.More importantly, the badge on his shoulder had one more line compared to Soren’s.Soren instinctively looked over, and his face darkened. “Inspection Division of the Royal Police Station?”Everyone looked at each other after hearing the unfamiliar name.The inspectors around Soren came to their senses, their expressions changing instantly.People from the Inspection Division had powerful authority. The division would usually remain extremely discreet. Their existence was almost never known.However, they had the right to govern the directors of each city’s police station. Simply put, they were the higher-ups breathing down the directors’ necks.“Good eye.”Vaughn casually pulled out his pitch-black credentials, and threw it in front of Soren.“It’s a good thing that you know.“Director Braff. For the sake of your massive family business and respect towards the Thompson family, I’
Maisie pouted; she couldn’t bother ridiculing Harvey any longer. He was just a nobody who thought he had the power to show off because of the Braff family, after all.‘Doesn’t he understand just how inferior he is compared to elites from top-rated circles?‘Not to mention, the top-rated circles from the entire country—he’d definitely have to kneel to those people!’Mandy instinctively stepped forward.“Sir, we’ll compensate according to regulations. We…”Slap!“Shut up!” Vaughn swung the back of his palm across Mandy’s face. “Did I tell you to speak?”After seeing the beautiful woman slapped in the face like that, Maisie couldn’t help but show a gleeful expression.She knew how Vaughn worked. It wasn’t that he didn’t care for extravagant women like Mandy. He had always been a reliable man; since he wanted to take down Harvey, he needed a good excuse to do so.That way, nobody would say anything even if he got someone to kill Harvey.Soren’s expression changed. “Inspector Vaug
Vaughn’s expression changed.“You know Hector?”Hector was the Thompson family’s eldest young master and the default heir. Naturally, he was Vaughn’s biggest rival.If Harvey had connections with Hector, Vaughn would be going up against someone he shouldn’t have.After seeing through what Vaughn was thinking, Harvey smiled.“Don’t worry. If you can really go against me, Hector probably wouldn’t do anything to you. He might even thank you for it.“It’s a shame that you can’t.“Judging from the look on your face, you must’ve planned for all this yourself, right?“Didn’t you give Blaine a call beforehand? How are you supposed to explain it to him if you’re the one who gets trampled here instead?”“How dare you still act so high and mighty now, you bastard?!” Maisie screamed. She was infuriated.“You think we’ll just let you go after you run your mouth like that?“What a joke! Dream on!“No need to talk to him, Young Master Vaughn!“Throw him behind bars! See which one of us
“We’ve just received a report.“The company of Harvey’s wife had a dead worker.“The worker’s family demanded compensation, but Harvey broke both of the hands of a family member.“The first-in-command of Golden Sands Police Station is probably protecting the suspect as well.“That was why we decided to take the suspect away, and restore justice in the country and the city!”The crowd could clearly hear what Vaughn had just said. They all clapped and cheered for his righteous sense of justice.Vaughn then looked deeply into Amora’s eyes. “Do you have business here, Ms. Amora?”Amora looked deeply at Harvey, deducing the situation with the information she got.Harvey was just arrogant; not only did he go against her, but he didn’t even show a sliver of respect towards the Thompson family and the John family, among many others!Of course, this was a good thing for Amora. It’d be easier for her to manipulate Harvey this way.Her worries were instantly gone, and a playful expressi
Vaughn Thompson and Maisie Xavier heaved sighs of relief after hearing Amora Foster’s words.If Harvey York actually had Amora’s support, they would not dare lay a finger on him.But since she was that displeased with Harvey and had such a huge conflict…Things were just so much easier!All they needed to do was take Harvey away after he was done dealing with the curse!They would just hold off from interrogating Harvey to show Amora some respect!That said, Harvey would have no choice but to live the rest of his life behind bars.Harvey curiously looked at Amora.Based on his judgment, Brayan Foster must be on the verge of paralysis.Amora was probably just about to grovel before him after rushing all the way here.She was probably acting this way to make the most of the situation Harvey was in.It was a reasonable move. It was also brilliant.It would be helpful if this were any other time…What a shame that Harvey was her target.“Come with me to remove my father’s cur
Amora Foster crossed her arms with a high and mighty look.“You should know better if you need my help or not!“But remember!“You won’t get another chance!”Naturally, Amora had seen too many cocky people in her life.That said, she would usually crush the small fries and make them let go of their sense of pride with her pressure alone.Amora was confident that she could take control of Harvey easily.If it were not for her father being cursed, Amora would have gotten Harvey down on his knees already.“I believe you’d still be waiting for me after this.“Kneeling, in fact.“Then again, I’ll have to raise the price if that happens.“You’d be kneeling for four whole days.”Amora showed a cold expression.“You really won’t give up till you see Death, huh?!” she coldly exclaimed while squinting at Harvey.“Don’t you get it?!“You have no other choice but to die after missing this chance!“I’m giving you ten minutes to think this through! Get back to me when you’re ready!”
Vaughn Thompson’s expression changed after hearing Soren Braff’s words.Without Soren, he would be able to do whatever he pleased.But since that was not the case, he would have to abide by the rules.Without a second thought, Vaughn took a deep breath before he showed a profound gaze when looking at Harvey York.“Since the man’s not dead, your wife can just go through the civil process instead.“But there’s no doubt that you injured a man!“Everyone around can see that! Don’t even try to deny that!Vaughn quickly waved his hand, afraid there would be more changes to the situation.“Take him away!”“What do you mean by that?Harvey looked calm.“Who did I hurt? Where did you see it?”Vaughn immediately lifted the strong man while he wailed in pain.“He’s right here! Are you blind or something?!” he exclaimed while pointing at the man’s hands.Harvey tugged on the man’s hands before twisting them around.The man was instantly shocked.The broken hands were recovered just
The fierce aura completely enveloped the entire place.Harvey York, who seemed quite ordinary before, had a different aura more dominant than Vaughn Thompson and the others.The crowd was shocked when they looked at Harvey.No matter the case, the situation should have ended by now.‘What is Harvey thinking?’‘Is he trying to get back at Young Master Vaughn?’‘Does he even have the right?’Vaughn, who had already taken a few steps ahead, looked back with a frown.“Harvey…“You got lucky. I admitted defeat.“We should be ending things here for now.“What? Are you asking for a fair statement or something?”Harvey crossed his arms as he calmly strode forward.“So, you do know already.“Why don’t we have a talk then? How are you planning to give me the statement?“Are you going to break your arm and leg? Or are you also willing to kneel in front of the Fortune Hall for three days?”Harvey gave a gentle look, with murderous intent conspicuously shown in his eyes.Vaughn and
Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become
"Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey
"Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H
"Kill him? Why should I?' Dan pulled out a long cigar and lit it up. After a huff, he puffed out a ring of smoke. "I've just received news that Vaida has gone crazy, and she's sure that Harvey was the man of her destiny. That way, once he leaves Grand City, she would die of depression or kill herself. Looks like I can become the mayor soon. The Hierophant didn't lie to me…"-There was no difference between the day-and-night cycles within Grand City and the world outside. When the sun finally set, Grand City was lit brightly, enticing everyone to enter.Harvey, who had been trying to send a sliver of his energy into Vaida, walked out of the room. There was a hint of fatigue on his face. He thought that it would be ineffective to do that. But he did not know why, after sending in his energy, Vaida managed to recover somewhat.Other than still being somewhat unstable and sure that Harvey was her man of destiny, she was slowly regaining control. Harvey felt a bit strange, but all he c
Harvey suddenly remembered something when he saw Vaida returning to her deep sleep. "I heard that Grand City doesn't have a mayor right now. Then, what's going on with the previous mayor?"Geoffrey sighed and answered, "After the Hierophant prophesied Vaida as the third incarnation of Grand City's progenitor, he had left Grand City to find a way to deal with this. A decade… He's gone for a decade, and no one has seen him since then. That's why everyone believes he's already dead. That's why the seven families agree that Grand City has no mayor right now."Harvey frowned. "Then, what about Dan?"Then Geoffrey replied, "Dan is the mayor's final disciple. But the old mayor had only taught him for less than a year before leaving Grand City. According to the city's rules, if Vaida is killed, Dan will become the leader of the Belladonna Cult. And he will also naturally become the mayor of Grand City."Harvey nodded. He had learned some more things. Vaida was indeed part of the Belladonna
According to Geoffrey, Vaida's condition was precarious. While no one was targeting her, she might jump into the sea on her own again at some unspecified time.A condition like that was very difficult to deal with. No matter what was torturing Vaida, Harvey believed that it might not be within his power to help her."Have you realized that Vaida seemed to be opening herself up to you in the final moments? She even fell into your arms," Geoffrey remembered something else. "Do you think her condition would improve if we simply continued with this? Of course, I know you're in love with someone else, so I am not imposing on you. But can you please stay with her as much as possible while she's in Grand City? This might stabilize her emotional state."Neve also nodded continuously. She could tell that Vaida's condition was severe and complicated. If Harvey refused to help, she might attempt to jump into the ocean again as soon as she woke up.Harvey was speechless and heaved a sigh. "You
Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
