While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in

"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!

Harvey's tone was indifferent, but his words were shocking.Emery's expression changed slightly, and even the expressions on the faces of Janus and the others turned stony. Especially Janus. He knew well what kind of a person Emery was.Emery was capable of installing and igniting explosives under their vans, killing them after their little act. He was also capable of using their deaths to fuel his followers' rage against his enemies. Forget being of doing all this, he most likely had already done it."Enough! Who's throwing such accusations around?" Betty said icily as she scanned the crowd. "Mr. Emery won't do something like that when he's someone so generous toward his followers! How dare you throw wild accusations around without even daring to show your face! You…"Before Betty could continue, the vans Janus and his men had driven here suddenly exploded one by one in loud booms. The powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and almost everyone was knocked off their feet.Emery's

Twelve o'clock the following day. Harvey followed the GPS and arrived at a simple cafe.Aside from selling coffee and tea, the cafe also served all kinds of delicacies in Wolsing. It also proved that whoever chose this place had taste.Harvey looked around the café and walked to the center. The entire cafe was empty, with only one table being seated at the center.Elric was there, and next to him was an old man in a martial arts robe. He looked quite impressive and could take a beating or two. Harvey didn't know who the old man was, but he was most likely a martial arts elite.After Harvey had slapped Elric last time, Elric probably learned from his experience and had to make some preparations when seeing Harvey. Unfortunately, such preparation was pointless. If Harvey wanted to, he could slap Elric as many times as he wanted.Harvey thought of Journi, and nodded at Elric. "Hello, Mr. Stanton. We met again. Journi had already told me about it. She didn't ask me to take the offer

Harvey stated his demand without hesitation.Elric's face darkened immediately. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What do you mean, Harvey? I'm telling you, it's rare for me to speak so good-naturedly with anyone else. If you're still stubborn, you'll have to bear all responsibility for what comes next!"Harvey smashed the cup in his hand in response, and tossed the pieces toward Elric. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanton. Your threats are pointless to me. And so, I will gladly bear that responsibility."Just as Elric was going to rage on, the old man next to him suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table. A deep handprint appeared on the wooden table. He stared at Harvey and snarled coldly, "Watch your mouth!"I've been sitting here for so long, and I finally have a basic understanding of you. In short, you're someone who likes to dance between the borders of life and death. Mr. Elric Stanton is the man who created Country H Commercial Group. He's someone well
