Chapter 460 The Harvey Siblings
"Commander, Sheila Harvey has spilled the beans!" After chatting for a while, Michael Hornig quickly entered the room.
"The two culprits are hiding in a county below Celestiford. I've already located their phone numbers, and we can apprehend them at any time."
"Send a few of our brothers to keep an eye on the area. Once we've dealt with the Harvey clan, we can take care of them. Remember to instruct our people to be cautious. These two culprits are skilled, likely at least in the mid to late stages of Warlord. Tell our tailing team to keep their distance." Said Billy.
Billy recalled that Mark Barber from Nanrania, had the strength of a mid-level Warlord. The two culprits had easily defeated him, indicating that their skills were superior.
"Understood!" Michael nodded and took out his phone to make arrangements.
An hour later, Daniel Schuller, Deputy Inspector of Celestiford, rushed in.
"Commander, representatives from the Harvey clan have arrived!"
Billy smiled faintly. "Who's leading them?"
"Their second-in-command, Declan Harvey, and his sister, Janice Harvey." Daniel replied. "They've brought quite a few people and surrounded our compound. Additionally, several Celestiford departments have people accompanying them."
"Are there any from the War Department of the central region?" Billy continued to inquire.
"I haven't seen anyone from there." Daniel responded after a brief pause.
"Boss, Stout and I will go out to take a look first." Azure Fang said, rising from his seat. "Alright," Billy nodded slightly.
In no time, Azure Fang and the others arrived at the courtyard outside. Looking around, they saw a dense crowd of people blocking the entrance to the compound. It was estimated that there were at least a thousand of them. Leading the group was Declan Harvey and Janice Harvey. Janice was approaching forty years old, with a mature beauty, graceful figure, and remaining charm. She had an aloof and haughty demeanor.
Another SHADOW deputy inspector, Christopher Wardle, was facing off with Harvey clan's people, accompanied by five or six hundred of their own.
"My patience has limits. If you don't bring out the governor, don't blame me for being impolite!" Declan Harvey glared at Christopher with a cold expression. From his tone, it was evident that he was unaware of the presence of Commander Gardner. The disciples of Cloud-Stepping Sect, who harbored deep hatred for Sheila Harvey, wouldn't have informed the Harveys about it.
"Mr Harvey, your actions today are truly impressive. You've dared to besiege even the SHADOW compound. I must say, I'm impressed!" Christopher replied coldly.
"You, a mere SHADOW deputy inspector, what qualifications do you have to speak to me here? If you don't bring out Azure Fang, I'll kill you first!" Another Harvey clan member stepped forward, pointing at Christopher.
"You can try!" Christopher glanced at the man.
"Arrogant!" the clan member from stepped forward, exuding a strong aggressive aura. He continued to address Azure Fang with hostility.
"just as you wish!" The man squinted, taking two steps forward and delivering a powerful punch aimed straight at Christopher.
Declan Harvey and his sister made no attempt to intervene, evidently wanting to teach SHADOW a lesson. This member of the Harvey clan possessed the Battle God's mastery, one level higher than Christopher. With no intention of holding back, Christopher immediately sensed a looming threat. Just as the opponent's attack was about to land on him, a sharp blade aura tore through the fist's force and sliced directly toward the man's shoulder.
After the blade aura passed, an arm fell, blood gushing out, and the man let out a painful scream as he knelt.
"Ah..." he cried in agony.
"Daring to lay hands on my SHADOW comrade, you've got some nerve!" A voice rang out behind the SHADOW crew. Following that, Azure Fang and his three companions strolled over, and the one who had wielded the blade was Michael Hornig.
"Huh?" Seeing this scene, both Declan Harvey and Janice Harvey furrowed their brows simultaneously.
"Azure Fang, have you gone too far?" Declan stared at Azure Fang with a cold glare and spoke angrily.
"Too far? I don't think so." Daniel Schuller chimed in before Azure Fang could respond.
"Insolence!" An elderly man stepped forward, exuding a dense chill, and addressed Azure Fang. "You've crossed the line."
"You SHADOW operatives are becoming more and more lawless. Not only did you unjustly arrest the young lady, but now you're also injuring people at will. Do you think you can act above..."
"You old coot, shut up!" Daniel interrupted him. "If you utter another word, I promise to cripple you as well!"
"You..." The elder was infuriated.
"Thorne!" Janice interjected from the side. Then she turned to Azure Fang and spoke coldly, "Lord Azure Fang I'm not sure what Shelia has done to warrant the involvement of
SHADOW. Is there a reason for you to personally apprehend her?"
Her tone was sharp, her expression proud. Before today, she had dealt with Azure Fang three or four times. At the outset, she had tried to make amends with SHADOW and had used all her diplomatic skills, but Azure Fang was not buying any of it. She had even embarrassed him several times. Just last month, a dandy from the Harvey clan had caused trouble, and she had
represented the clan to net
with SHADOW. The end result was not in her favor. Not only did she fail to retrieve the dandy, but she was also publicly slapped by Azure Fang. At that moment, if it weren't for the people around her urging restraint, she would have torn her face off completely with Azure Fang. As the number one lady in Celestiford, having lived for nearly forty years, she had never been slapped by anyone. Azure Fang was testing the limits of her patience. Although she had later suppressed the anger in her heart, it didn't mean she would let it go. She simply hadn't found the right opportunity for retaliation yet. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"You're all here on behalf of the Harvey clan to support them?" Azure Fang ignored Janice Harvey and instead looked at the heads of the several departments in Celestiford, calmly speaking.
"Huh?" Janice Harvey responded with a stiff expression.
"Mr Azure Fang!" a middle-aged man stepped forward, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone. "We've only come here because we heard that Miss Harvey has been arrested by SHADOW for reasons unknown. We genuinely don't know what she's done."
"And you?" Azure Fang asked the other three men.
"Mr Azure Fang, though SHADOW may have the authority to act first and report later, it doesn't mean you can abuse its power!"""'
"As far as I know, Miss Harvey is a law-abiding businesswoman. I truly have no idea what crime she could have committed to warrant SHADOW's intervention."
The three men stepped forward one by one, their faces filled with righteous indignation.
"A bunch of self-serving idiots!" Michael Hornig's expression darkened. "The Harvey clan probably offers you substantial annual contributions. Is that why you're willing to serve them blindly?" "You dare!" The first man shouted angrily.
"Michael Hornig, be careful with your words. You're slandering a high-ranking national official. If we investigate further, I promise you won't get off lightly..."
"Hey, do you really wanna know what crimes Sheila Harvey has committed?" Azure Fang interrupted him.
