Chapter 5967
“That’s him?!”
The woman who just recognized Harvey York instantly dropped her glass of champagne.
When Neil Osborne pointed out the price of the ink, she had already confirmed her suspicions.
He was the man who took control over half of the outskirts.
He was the man who won the competition at the oasis…
Master York!
On the second day, after Harvey had left Neil’s place, the incident of him gifting Neil the Phoenix Ink circulated like wildfire through certain sources.
For some people, this was simply unforgivable.
Those people believed that the government’s power was used to support local figures in the outskirts and someone like Harvey had no right to provoke them.
Vroom!
At six in the evening, inside the No. 1 villa at Eden Mountain.
Sounds of engines were heard when Harvey was about to have dinner.
A dozen black sedans were parked outside.
The cars seemed simple, but the windows were all tinted, ensuring that people could clearly see what was outside but not the other way around.
The doors were pushed open.
Dozens of men in Dragon Cell uniforms with white gloves and loggers strapped on their chests were seen.
They immediately turned on their loggers, ready to do their job the moment they stepped out of the cars.
Soon after, a big man with a beer belly pressed on the doorbell.
Romina went out. She froze when she saw the large group of people.
“Is there something wrong?”
“I’m the captain of the third task force group of the Desert Province’s Dragon Cell, Abner Sallow.
“We received reports of someone trying to buy favors from Mr. Neil in a situation involving assault!
“And to force Mr. Neil to accept the gift, he even smashed the Phoenix Ink so Mr. Neil would keep his mouth shut!
“This is the biggest offense against the law and embarrassment toward a pure and just man!
“We’re here to search the place and arrest him!”
Abner waved his hand fiercely.
“Move!” he coldly exclaimed.
Romina’s face instantly darkened.
“I don’t care where you come from!
“But this is private property!
“Searching the place without a proper warrant is bad for your reputation, don’t you think?”
“A warrant?
“My credentials are the biggest warrant there is!
Abner pulled out his work permit and slapped it on Romina’s face before waving his hand.
“Kill whoever tries to obstruct our work!”
Abner looked prideful as if everyone had no choice but to obey him.
He exuded an air of dignity that was beyond words.
Romina was still planning to speak reason after being slapped, but Harvey quickly shook his head at her.
As one of the four cornerstones, the Dragon Cell had absolute authority when it came to investigations.
It would be bad to go against the organization. That was why Harvey stopped Romina at that instance.
