As soon as everyone knelt, Kayden forced a smile and said, “Master! You can punish my subordinates however you like for their ignorance!”At the sight of his obedience, the crowd was at a complete loss.Not only did the head of the Hatchet Gang kneel, but he also didn’t even try to save his own dignity.Riley was utterly shocked.In her mind, Kayden was one of the few scariest people in Flutwell!Ordinary people who try to go against him would die without even knowing why!And yet, here he was, kneeling in front of Harvey!He knelt in an instant!Wasn’t Harvey just a live-in son-in-law?What right did he have to make Kayden kneel?Because of the day’s conflict, Riley thought both Harvey and Xynthia had their fates sealed, and that they were going to die without a burial spot…She never expected that Kayden would be the one to kneel instead.She couldn’t believe everything she was seeing.Only Xynthia looked completely calm. She knew everything would be solved if her brothe
Having experienced so much in the past few days, Xynthia understood that her troubles were too easy for Harvey to deal with.Harvey smiled.“Mordu and Buckwood have laws.”“But… This place is just too special.”“There are laws here, but because of the place’s history, everyone thinks that power means everything.”“Since that’s the case, we’ll show our power.”“If not, we wouldn’t even be able to find a place to stay, let alone save your sister and mother.”“Right. Tell me what happened.”“Didn’t you come to visit Flutwell’s gold mine? How did your mother and sister get tricked into jail?”At Harvey’s questioning, Xynthia sat down and poured herself a cup of tea before she tried to recall the situation.“I remember now! Someone must’ve planned for all this.”“After the thirteenth young master of the Bauer family came to Mordu, he kept trying to court Big Sister. He gave a lot of luxurious stuff to Mother as well. She was completely dazed by all those gifts!”“Then, he invite
“Mother and Sister are being framed, Brother-In-Law!”“You need to save them!”Xynthia let out a huge sigh, worry coloring her face.Both Lilian and Mandy were born from luxury.They couldn’t possibly stand a life behind bars!Harvey tapped Xynthia’s shoulders and replied calmly, “We need to be patient.”“Someone’s clearly targeting us. This is too dangerous.”“Since that’s the case, we can’t afford to be reckless.”“I told Kayden to show up with his forces. Let’s see if we can get Lilian and Mandy out that way.”Xynthia froze.“The Hatchet Gang’s one of the Gang of Six, but they’re nothing to the Golden Palace and the Bauer family, right?”“Can we even use Kayden?”“We won’t know unless we try,” Harvey calmly replied.“On one hand, we’ll be able to test his abilities.”“On the other hand, we can see just how deep the waters here are.”Xynthia let out a sigh of relief after knowing Harvey’s arrangements.After pondering over the situation, she said quietly, “Brother-In-
“Don’t worry. With me here, Flutwell will be yours sooner or later,” Harvey said calmly.“But before that, I’d have to see your worth first, wouldn’t I?”“I can bring up anyone I want, but I can’t just choose some useless filth to support, right?”Kayden trembled after hearing Harvey’s words.He had seen Harvey’s true power. If this man was willing to bring Kayden up…Maybe the Hatchet Gang would become the head of the Gang of Six.Kayden was immediately exhilarated.“Right. Since the second-in-command isn’t here yet…”“Why don’t you tell me who that person is instead?”Harvey signaled Rachel to refill the pot of tea and then casually leaned into his chair.Seeing that Harvey wasn’t angry, Kayden replied respectfully, “His name is Logan Bowie, Sir York.”“Bowie? Is he a distant relative of the Bauer family?” Harvey asked, his interest was piqued.“That’s right. He’s Dylan’s uncle.”“The Bowie family isn’t considered a top-rated family, but because of their relationship wit
“The Bauer family?”Harvey chuckled. He didn’t expect that someone from the Bauer family would get themselves in a situation like this publicly.“Where are they now?” Kayden asked instinctively.“In front of the door. Director Bowie looks a little angry, and he’s saying that you’re being too disrespectful to not welcome him outside.”“The other person from the Bauer family seems a little mad as well…”Kayden frowned.“Sir York. If my guess is correct, the person here right now must be Elder Mac Bauer,” Kayden said quietly.“He’s a well-known person on Joseph’s side.”“He has a very good relationship with many of Flutwell’s government officials, too.” “This time, he came here under the request of the thirteenth young master.”“It’s going to be a lot more troublesome than we first imagined.”Harvey raised his cup and said calmly, “I don’t care who they are. I won’t give them any respect if they decide to show off in front of me.”“Tell them to come inside.”“They don’t des
“You b*stard!”“Who the hell are you?!”“How dare you talk to Elder Bauer like that when you’re this damn young?”“Who gave you the courage?!”The woman glared coldly at Harvey after hearing his insulting remarks at Mac.“Do you have a death wish?!”The others glared furiously at Harvey and Kayden as well.A fight was about to break out at any moment.“Don’t be rude, Lydia!”Mac squinted at Harvey before he froze.Seeing that Harvey remained seated and Kayden respectfully accompanying him on the side, Mac started looking at Harvey in a different light.At the same time, he understood that this was the man who wanted to see Logan.After reprimanding Lydia, Mac squinted at Harvey.“I don’t know where you came from…”“But somehow, you managed to make the head of the Hatchet Gang work for you.”“You must be pretty impressive!”“Are you too strong? Or did Kayden grow more and more useless by the years and managed to get himself beaten?”After hearing that Harvey was Kayden’
“Elder Bauer, Director Bowie. Please calm down…”Kayden’s eyes were twitching frantically when he saw that the meeting was on the verge of collapse.After being in the underworld for so long, this was his first time seeing things unfold in such a way.“Please! Show some respect!” he exclaimed with a pleading look on his face.“Focus on the big picture!”Bam!“Respect?!”“You dare talk to me about respect?!”Mac stood up and slapped Kayden on the face.Kayden’s face immediately became swollen. A hint of rage flashed in Kayden’s eyes, but he could only swallow it down when he recalled Mac’s identity.After all, the thirteenth young master and the Bauer family were supporting Mac. No matter how powerful Kayden was, he was no match for them.He forced his anger down and showed a warm smile instead.“Elder Bauer, Director Bowie. You two came this far to talk, right?”“You wouldn’t come here just to fight!”“We’ll all look terrible if word about this spreads!”“Please. Let’s
“Do you want me to be the state witness?A faint smile was written on Harvey York’s face.“You’re deeply mistaken, Director Bowie.“I won’t do such a thing.“But, I’ll definitely bail them.“I’m giving you one hour.Harvey raised his hand to look at his Rolex watch with a calm look on his face.“If I don’t see them after that…“Then, I’ll make this contract a reality.”Harvey clapped his hands soon after.Rachel Hardy brought out a few pictures of a contract and slammed it in front of Logan Bowie and the others.Logan’s face instantly darkened after seeing the pictures.This was the same contract Lilian Yates had brought with her.But this should have been with the police. How did someone manage to sneak out pictures like this?Without hesitation, Logan coldly glared at Kayden Balmer.Only he was capable enough to do something like this on Harvey’s side.After all, he was the head of the Hatchet Gang. It would be as easy as pie for him just to get a few dirty cops to ta
