Toby felt resentful. He kept using more strength to the point where he used ninety percent of his power...
But he soon realized that his power had no effect whatsoever. It started to hurt in between his fingers, asif something was being torn apart.
“Not bad. Not bad at all.”
Toby stopped testing Harvey‘s strength immediately after
After sizing Harvey up, he said, “Not only are you extremely clever, but your skills and mentality are alsoone above the rest. You‘ve completely bested me this time!”
Toby made a gesture after that. His servants quickly moved two chairs and a table to their side.
After making a gesture for Harvey to sit, Toby then poured a cup of tea for him before exquisite HongKong–styled pastries were served.
Leslie was slightly confused. She didn‘t think that her father would treat Harvey this well.
This breakfast meeting should‘ve been a trap for Harvey, but it turned into a long–awaited gathering all ofa sudden.
Toby sipped his aged black tea while glancing at Leslie, who had an odd look on her face.
“Aren‘t you confused, Leslie? Not only did I not slap Sir York to death, but I also invited him for a mealhere,” Toby said while chuckling.
Leslie frowned before nodding her head.
Toby smiled.
“I was already planning to invite him here. I wanted to test him and see if he has the right to
get my attention. Even if I judged him to be unworthy of my attention and that he just got extremely luckylast night to have pulled off that feat, I‘d still invite him here. However, at that point, it would‘ve been justan ordinary meal.”
Leslie was in deep thought after hearing Toby‘s words.
She then stared deep into Harvey‘s eyes. She didn ‘t think that her father would look up to a man whojust got bailed.
Harvey smiled wordlessly. Toby‘s words obviously had hidden meanings, but he pretended not to notice. novelbin
After all, these sly old foxes had complicated minds. It would be bad if Harvey went along with theconversation and got himself in a bad situation.
“Why don‘t you take a guess as to why I invited Sir York here today, Leslie?” Toby asked.
Leslie pondered about the situation.
“To ask him why he got our family into a situation like that last night?”
Toby burst out laughing.
“You‘re an inspector of the Hong Kong and Las Vegas Police Station. Is that really all you got?”
“Are you trying to tell the outsiders that you‘re standing with Sir York?” Leslie said after thinking
Toby sighed before looking in Harvey‘s direction.
“My daughter‘s been pampered ever since she was a kid. She doesn‘t like using her head when anythingcomes up. Why don‘t you teach her a lesson instead?”
Harvey sipped from his cup while shooting a meaningful look at Toby. Then, he chuckled.
“Governor Clarke clearly has his reasons for doing all this. I‘ll make a few guesses, but please don‘tmake fun of me too much if I get them wrong. First of all, you‘re announcing to the public that you arelawful and impartial, willing to enforce the law at any cost. Seeing someone involved in the situation aftersuch a big incident says that you stand by law and justice. A simple meal would be able to calm therumors of the outside world. It‘s safe to say that this meal of yours must be really worth it.”
Toby glanced over, clearly impressed by Harvey.
Naturally, a lot of people didn‘t understand his intentions other than Harvey. This was definitely not acoincidence.
