Chapter 625 Flustered And Exasperated


    "Then, why did he get involved in this mess? It''s not something to be taken lightly. Lilian was puzzled."


    "Madam, there must be something we don''t know. ording to what our team said, it seemed that


    Calvin had sent someone over to investigate the arms trafficking deal too. We haven''t found out the


    specific reason yet but our people have already begun their investigation on this. Quina analyzed with a


    suspicious look on her face."


    "Lilian looked deep in thought. As the president of a mulNorahtionalpany, he should be focusing


    on his business, but instead he got himself involved in the arms trafficking deal. It might put his life in


    danger. What was he thinking?"


    Could there be a connection between the Harvey family''s crisis and the smuggling?


    "If this was the case, then the Harvey Group would be in an even more dangerous position. These


    smugglers were desperate people, who were capable of doing the most dangerous of things. Nobody


    in their right mind would cross paths with these smugglers besides those involved in politics, or military


    personnel. There could only be one reason if Calvin was doing this on purpose. These smugglers or


    the evidence from the arms trafficking deal must have had something to do with the Harvey Group''s


    crisis. Perhaps he was just doing this out of concern for civilians! However, why would a businessman


    get himself involved in a thankless task and put himself in an unenviable situation?"


    "If that was the case, then why didn''t he report it to the authorities in Capital City?"


    "Lilian pondered over with her head lowered. If lodging a report would work, then they never would


    have taken this in their own hands."


    "Well, Quina, in the name of the United Nations, please request the neighbouring countries to send


    their government armies for an ambush nearby. Wait for the perfect opportunity to capture these


    criminals at once, Lilian ordered."


    "Sure, Madam, Quina answered immediately with a smile."


    "Also, try to avoid sacrificing the innocent. Send some of our people over first. Try your best to protect


    Calvin''s people, Lilian said thoughtfully."


    "Yes, Madam. Don''t worry, Quina replied immediately. She could tell how much Lilian cared for the


    Harvey family. She then said, ""Madam, I will make sure they get caught as long as the deal goes


    through. I''m just worried that they will either postpone or cancel the deal once they know our motives."


    Lilian only responded with a smile.


    It was the third night since Calvin arrived in Capital City.


    "For the past two days, he had been strategizing with Luqman, and they managed to put a stop to


    Yadriel''s likely victory in the election. That noon, the polling results were announced. The race between


    Luqman and Yadriel was a tie."


    "This was great news to Luqman. Meanwhile, this indicated the beginning of a series of unfortunate


    events for Yadriel."


    Yadriel was flustered and exasperated. He had to put in more effort and pay more attention to the


    uing election.


    The results werepletely beyond Yadriel''s expectations. He was furious.


    "Young Master Harvey, I have you to thank for today''s result. It''s bold how you managed to let me


    reach a tie with Yadriel. I still feel surreal about this. Luqman was delighted to taste victory finally.


    ""How about this? Let''s head out for a celebratory meal."""


    "Calvin smiled, hiding his domineering side, as he said, ""Chief, it''s still too Tristany for that. Let''s start


    nning for the next election."""


    Sure. Luqman agreed. He was a veteran in politics. He knew it''d be too Tristany to judge if he had won


    the fight against Yadriel. They had to focus on getting evidence against Yadriel if they wanted to stop


    him once and for all.


    "I''m nning to head home tomorrow, Calvin said. He missed his wife, who was far away in the A City.


    His smile fell as he was reminded of Liya''s presence in Harvey Manor. He was worried."


    "Sure, we can slow things down a little for the next couple of days. But, Young Master Harvey, please


    make sure you''ll return soon, Luqman said, nodding. He noticed the longing and concern in Calvin''s


    expression. He could tell that Calvin missed being near his wife and child."


    Luqman looked at Calvin''s tired face and bid farewell to him to allow him to get some rest.


    "Calvin then stood up and freshened himself in the bathroom. Later, he pushed open the windows."


    It was dark outside. It was a remote ce. The dim street lights painted several faint circles in the


    warm night sky.


    "Belle, are you okay? Did you miss me? Have you been careful for the past few days? Calvin asked


    over the phone with a sweet and tender voice that melted Belle''s heart."


    "Calvin. Belle sat up in bed as she answered Calvin''s phone. Her cheeks flushed as she said, ""I miss


    you. How are things going on over there?"""


    "Her voice was sweet and pleasing to the ear. Calvin couldn''t help but to smile, and his expression was


    filled with doting tenderness."


    Don''t worry. Your husband is a capable man. I can solve pretty much everything. Calvin boasted about


    himself over the phone.


    "Belle almostughed out loud upon hearing this. Calvin had his domineering side, and Belle liked this


    about him."


    She loved his confidence!


    "That''s great, then. Please settle them quickly. I''ve been waiting for you toe back home, everyday


    and every single minute, Belle said with a pout."


    "Mr. Harvey, watch out. ke dashed into the room suddenly and pushed Calvin away. Calvin was


    approaching him. A bullet was fired at him."


    "Who is it? Calvin fell to the side after being pushed by ke. The bullet whistled past Calvin''s ear and


    was shot directly into the wall. Calvin came to his senses and shouted, ""ke, get him."""


    ke looked out of the window with his eagle-like and sharp eyes. A dark shadow was seen leaping off


    the tform just below the window andnded on the ground.


    "Stop right there, ke shouted angrily and leaped out of the window."


    Calvin threw his phone aside as he stared towards the direction the dark shadow fled to. The corners of


    his mouth curled up into a cold and terrifying smirk.


    Calvin turned around and ran towards the stairs.


    This dark shadow was indeed bold to attempt to assassinate him.


    Calvin jumped down swiftly from the window by the stairs andnded steadily in front of the man in


    ck clothes.


    "It''s time for you to show who you are, Calvin said. Although the streemps were dim and the man


    was wearing a mask, Calvin could still see the sinister light in his dark eyes. Based on Calvin''s intuition,


    this was the same man who killed Reid and Yaris, as well as the same man who had been after them."


    "The man''s shot was extremely precise. However, he missed his shot just moments earlier and Calvin


    got out alive. This was out of his expectation."


    The glint in the man''s eyes grew more sinister as he lifted the gun in hand.


    The pitch-ck muzzle was pointed at Calvin.


    A ruthless smile appeared on Calvin''s face. He touched the ring on his index finger and twirled it


    slightly.


    A bullet whizzed away.


    "As the man pulled the trigger, a silent gun was triggered. His shoulder was shot."


    The man screamed as the bullet was shot into his arm. The gun in his hand fell to the ground.


    It was Calvin!


    The man had no idea how Calvin triggered the hidden gun. He almost managed to fire a bullet into


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Calvin''s heart but he waste by a second.


    All it took was one second.


    "For the first time in his life, the man missed his shot."


    "Exin yourself, Calvin shouted as he ran towards the man."


    "Be careful, he has a hidden weapon. ke''s voice rang out from behind. Calvin saw a white light


    shoot towards him. He leaned back in shock and managed to dodge the attack. "


    The man had already disappeared when he stood up and came to his senses. ke charged forward.


    Rage was building in Calvin. His sinister eyes were burning in rage like red knives.


    ke returned dejectedly after a while.


    "Mr. Harvey, I lost him. Someone helped with his escape. ke said with a tone full of remorse, ""It


    seems like he was here to kill you. It''s horrible of them."""


    Calvin''s gaze was tense. The corners of his mouth were cold and restrained.


    "I shot him just now. Just look out for an injured man and start the search tomorrow, Calvin said before


    he turned around to leave."


    "Mr. Harvey, please be extra cautious from now on. Now that Yadriel has faced defeat, he will never let


    you get away with this. Please watch out. ke reminded him with great concern."


    "Calvin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He said, ""An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.


    Yadriel, bring it on."""


    ke''s heart grew heavier.


    "ke, Yadriel will definitely do something after losing the election today. His ego was bruised. He will


    not stay put. Ask Otis to pay more attention to the war-torn country. If I could guess correctly, he will


    start reselling the weapons in the next couple of days, Calvin said with great confidence."


    "Yadriel had been backed into the corner by Calvin, and would have to obtain his funds by reselling


    weapons illegally. This was a trap for Yadriel. Once he got into this trap, Calvin would make sure to


    capture him alive."


    "Alright, ke replied. He understood what Calvin was implying."


    "Calvin left without a word. Upon returning to his bedroom, his phone was ringing."


    Calvin was startled. He picked up the phone and the caller ID showed ''wife''. There were numerous


    missed calls from her.


    Calvin''s heart skipped a beat. A bullet was fired towards him during their earlier conversation. Could


    she tell over the phone?


    "Belle, Calvin answered the call with a calm and steady tone."


    "Calvin, what happened just now? Belle sounded anxious."


    Nothing. Nothing happened. Calvin smiled and answered in a casual tone.


    "But, I heard you shouting, and... Belle retorted. She did not believe what he said. She could tell over


    the phone that he was angry, icy, and even slightly panicked. She had never heard him shout like that


    before and she knew he was lying."


    "Belle, aren''t I alright now? Don''t overthink. It''s not good for you to stay upset. Calvin consoled her with


    his tender words and casualughter. He wanted to calm her down and stop her from worrying."


    "Upon hearing this, Belle did not insist on asking anymore."
