Harvey and Jordan walk out of the police station. James Rocks' arrest happened so quickly, even with just Jordan showing his face. Jordan still glances at Harvey, hoping that Harvey is satisfied with what he has just done. Harvey just stayed silent with a calm face.

Jordan looked at his cell phone. A report came to him. “Mr. Harvey, a gift has been delivered to Andreas Brown. A love letter from the police.”

Jordan grinned. Commander Piers was more dexterous than Jordan had expected.

Harvey kept walking casually. He nodded slowly. “Good. The man needs to feel a little tension.”

Jordan agreed with Hervey's words. As a person under a general, he knew very well the consequences of doing the wrong thing in front of a legend like Harvey. Of course someone like Andreas Brown would have a miserable life ahead of him. Having an affair with the general's wife is certainly not a light sin.

At the Brown family residence, Andreas panicked when two men in police uniforms came to his house. The two policemen handed him a letter. With a pale face, he immediately went to his father.

“Papa! Look at this, how could this happen?” Andreas showed the letter to Johan Brown, his father. His father, who was eating breakfast, immediately stood up from his seat.

Johan glared at the contents of the letter. It contained a criminal charge against Andreas. “What is this? How did this letter get here? Andreas! Did you do something wrong?”

Andreas furrowed his brow. “Of course not, Papa! I didn't do anything wrong.”

Johan was silent for a moment. His eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of his son. Over the past few years Andreas had indeed held several projects belonging to the Brown family company, but that didn't seem to be the case. Andreas had always played it clean.

Johan caught his breath. “Do you have a problem with anyone else? There are bad people doing this.”

Andreas looked down to his left while frowning. “The only one I have a problem with is Harvey. Whitley's ex-husband.”

Johan was silent. He raised one eyebrow. Andreas raised his gaze and looked back at Johan. “But there's no way that Harvey did it. He's just a poor man. He doesn't even have money to take a taxi.”

Johan threw the letter on the table. “Then who made trouble with you?”

Andreas shook his head. “No idea, Papa.”

Johan exhaled. His forehead furrowed as he thought. “You take it easy, Andreas. Everything will be fine. Your uncle is a man with a strong position in the military. He should be able to protect you.”

Andreas nodded. “All right, Papa. Uncle Cole will definitely beat that man up. I don't want any disturbances at my wedding.”

Johan nodded. “You take it easy.”

Johan immediately took his cell phone and called Cole Brown, his younger brother. He told the man what had happened.

“What? How dare that man do that to Andreas. Take it easy, brother. I'll teach that man a lesson. Your son is like my son. I won't let anyone mess with him!” Cole said this passionately on the phone.

Johan smiled and nodded. “I knew I could count on you, Cole. Let me know when you've caught him. I want to teach that guy a lesson before throwing him in jail.”

Cole chuckled. “Sure thing, big brother. You can break a few bones later.”

After a few days, Harvey wanted to take a walk outside. He was still enjoying himself as an ordinary person, on his own terms. Even in dressing he only used very simple clothes, far from the impression of a General.

Harvey was about to retire, so he did not care about what others thought of him for now. His life could now go on as he wished. He had no time to deal with unimportant and annoying things. After all, it was too easy for him to trample on others if Harvey wanted to.

Harvey's steps stopped at a sizable building. A jewelry store called Big House Gold. He took a good look at the store. Then he stepped inside without hesitation.

The store was quite busy. Several employees were busy serving the customers, mostly women in fancy clothes. Harvey was not interested in the scene. He wanted to do something important here. However, it was there that he heard an unpleasant voice. “Whitley! Look, your stalker is here!”

Harvey immediately turned to the source of the voice. It turned out that not far from his side were Whitley and a friend. A beautiful woman with an annoying gaze, Valencia Garth. Valencia folded her arms across her chest. “Isn't he your ex-husband, Whitley?”

Whitley clicked her tongue while wearing a disgusted expression. “Don't remind me of my bad memories being this loser's wife. Besides, why are you stalking me, Harvey? Stop being my stalker and accept the fact that you're just trash to me!”

Harvey only looked into Whitley's eyes for a moment, then ignored her again. “I don't have time to be your stalker. I have business here.”

Whitley tilted her head. “What business? That's just your excuse for following me, right? Just so you know, I can report you. Stalkers and losers like you are bound to get into trouble if you keep following me around.”

Harvey didn't want to think about it anymore. This woman had already dumped him in the most painful way. There was no point in giving her time. “I'm just going to pick something up. It has nothing to do with you.”

Whitley and Valencia immediately laughed when they heard that. Even Valencia gave a very dismissive laugh. “Whitley, did you hear that? Poor people seem to take things in places like this.”

Whitley smiled with one lip raised. “Does ‘taking’ mean ‘stealing’, Harvey? Not just a loser and a stalker, but a criminal! This man is completely out of his mind.”

Harvey ignored the two women. He walked past them. However, Whitley immediately held him back and pushed him back. The women's eyes were glaring at Harvey.

Whitley with a hateful look snorted. “I won't let a stalker like you in this place. You should leave immediately, Harvey. I don't want you anywhere near me.”

Valencia waved her palms in dismissal. “Get him out of this place. Waiter! This guy is so annoying. He's a stalker, please kick him out!”

Valencia deliberately said it loudly, so several people immediately turned their heads towards them. Not wanting any commotion, a shop assistant ran towards them. A woman with a ponytail who had the name Sarah on her name tag.

Sarah immediately grabbed Harvey's hand. “Sir, you can't disturb our customers. Please leave immediately or I will use harsh means.”

Sarah's gaze pretty much described how she saw Harvey from the outside. With Harvey's appearance that doesn't look like a rich man, he must have the same thoughts as Whitley and Valencia. Thinking Harvey is a stalker.

However, Harvey did not oblige Sarah. He quickly took out his wallet and showed a black card to Sarah. Sarah instantly opened her eyes wide. She immediately let go of Harvey's hand and bowed her head. “I'm sorry, sir. It turns out you are a VVIP member here.”

Whitley instantly tilted her head and frowned. “Why are you apologizing? What is it?”

Sarah swallowed. “The black card is a sign that this gentleman has access to our safe services. That is, this gentleman has a very valuable item in our store.”

Instantly Whitley and Valencia opened their eyes wide. They glanced at Harvey in disbelief. “You're not making this up, waiter. He's just a poor man and a criminal! There's no way he has that kind of access card.”

Sarah pointed at the card with both palms. “This is the proof, Miss. He is an important person to us. Mr. Harvey, welcome. Please come in.”

Harvey then left the two of them. When he was about to pass Whitley and Valencia, he paused and glanced over. “You should have behaved yourself, Whitley. If you do that, you'll get something you didn't expect.”

With a smile, Harvey then walked away. Whitley irritably looked back. She clucked while clenching her fists. “Yuck! That's disgusting!”

    Vanessa's steps echoed softly on the deserted sidewalk. She walked down the city streets with her head slightly bowed, her face hidden behind a mask and wide brimmed hat. Duskvale, usually bustling with tourists and family laughter, now felt like a town that was holding its breath.The storefronts are empty, the lights glow drearily without visitors. The occasional sound of a passing vehicle can be heard, but not many. Fear has imprisoned people behind the doors of their homes. No more couples holding hands in the park, or children chasing birds in the square.Vanessa stared at the mostly empty convenience store shelves - no rice, no instant noodles, not even a few bottles of mineral water. Panic buying had changed the face of Duskvale. Purchasing power declined, not because of a lack of money, but because of a numbing fear.Vanessa had just left the Q-Entertainment building, wearing a dark coat that waved in the afternoon breeze. This time, there was no Jordan by her side-no lighthe

    “This kind of purchase is excessive!” snapped a minister, his voice echoing throughout the courtroom.The veins in his neck bulged, his face red with emotion. His hands clenched on the table, his fingers trembling with rage.“Look at what’s happening!” he continued, his voice rising. “Panic buying is rampant! Duskvale’s economy is in shambles, and now... other cities are starting to follow suit!” His gaze was accusatory, as if blaming the governor for all the turmoil.Other officials began to whisper, the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense. But Governor Westhaven sat calmly, his face expressionless, as if listening to a weather report. However, it was that very calmness that only fueled the minister’s anger further.Governor Westhaven let out a long sigh, a heavy exhalation escaping his lips like a burden he couldn’t shed. His forehead furrowed deeply, signaling growing confusion. His gaze was vacant as he stared at the table, as if trying to guess what Harvey was truly planning.W

    A man scooped up all the vegetables with both hands and stuffed them into the trolley in a hurry, as if his life depended on it. Without pause, he scooped up dozens of sausage wrappers and threw them in roughly, nearly spilling the trolley."Honey!" he called out to the woman behind who was also pushing the trolley. His breathing was heavy, his face full of tension. "Take as much as you can! Don't forget the condiments! I'll get some beer!"The woman nodded quickly without replying, then quickly split up. They blended into the sea of people, jostling for shelf after shelf. This was no ordinary shopping. This was a scramble, a mass panic. All hands claw, grab, and scramble, as if the world will end in a matter of hours.In another corner, a homeless man stands still, clutching a shabby loaf of bread-the only thing he's managed to grab. His hands trembled, his eyes darting around the long line in front of the cashier. The change in his pocket was barely enough to pay for the meal. But h

    "General, that power should not be used by humans," Jordan said, his voice heavy and stressed. His forehead was sharply creased, reflecting the anxiety he could not hide. "Demonic power will contaminate our world. The balance will be broken and everything could fall into chaos."Harvey walked slowly, circling the table with heavy steps. Each step was echoing, as if compressing the air between them. He stopped right in front of Jordan. His gaze was sharp, piercing like the blade of an invisible sword."Of course I know," he murmured, low but firm.Harvey's brow furrowed deeply. His eyes hardened as he stared straight into his subordinate's face."The question is," he said in an almost cold voice, "who would be stupid enough to awaken that power?"The arrival of Jack Orland and Hudson was no coincidence. There was a force behind the scenes-a person, or even a whole organization-that orchestrated the whole thing. The people who wielded the Devil's power almost never showed themselves. Th

    The world stands on two poles of tremendous power.The first comes from the Gods-great entities that radiate holy light, giving life, hope, and peace to all beings. The second comes from the Demons-ancient beings born of darkness, shrouding the world with fear and destruction that creeps silently.Those who are able to control the ki energy open the gates to one of the two paths. The path of light-or the path of destruction.The power of the Gods is warm, clear, like the morning sun breaking through the fog. It heals, guides, and gently burns away the dark.Whereas the Devil's power... was a shadow that crept behind the light. It is cold, gripping, and unforgiving. It destroys not only the body-but also the soul.For those who can reach the power of Gods or Demons, the limits of human strength no longer apply. Even compared to ordinary ki users, they stood far above-like a mountain rising in the middle of the hills.Harvey was one of them. His body was able to absorb and use the powe

    “You've lost,” Harvey said, his voice cold as a blade of ice through bone. “Now, tell me, who's your boss?”Hudson widened his eyes. For a moment, the world around him seemed to blur. His chest rose and fell irregularly, and subconsciously, his body began to tremble subtly.“No way... am I scared?” he thought, choking up. His fingertips felt numb, as if the blood refused to flow. Everything slowed down-seconds turned into minutes-and in that void, images of the past slammed into his mind.“Teacher called me a genius. Rare. Irreplaceable. I always completed every mission perfectly. But now? Fear entangles me like invisible shackles?”Hudson's teeth chattered. His jaw tightened, his eyes widened with an almost maniacal look. His gaze pierced Harvey with a fury that was tinged with shame and helplessness.“You-”Harvey pressed Hudson's neck harder. His fingers were like steel pincers that pierced the skin and stopped the flow of breath. Hudson coughed, his face turned red, and his vision
