Not to mention, Lucas kept secretly messing things up. Whoever Harvard begged, Lucas would talk badly about Harvard to that person and stop Harvard from achieving anything. This underhanded action was really shameful, but it had a good effect.
Harvard was forced to a dead end by Lucas.

“Gah..!”
Harvard sat in his office while virtual-novel.net sighed. If this situation continued, virtual-novel.net would be sued by the Urban Construction Bureau within a week
What should virtual-novel.net do?
When virtual-novel.net felt troubled, his secretary suddenly ran into his office anxiously, and said, “Mr. Hill, the court member came. They want you to go to court.”
“Court?”
Harvard was stunned. He asked Stanley who sat across from him, “Stanley, why did the court come to me?”
Stanley guessed. “Could it be that the Urban Construction Bureau already filed the charge? They are the government officials. If they want to sue you, they could do it anytime.”
Harvard instantly felt dispirited.
The Urban Construction Bureau took action so quickly!
The incident just happened not long ago. Besides, did they not need to inform virtual-novel.net in advance?
Harvard could only leave helplessly with the court member. When virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net was prepared that virtual-novel.net would not come back again.
Half an hour later, Harvard sat in the reception room of the cour. A coordinator walked over, sat down, and politely said, “You’re Mr. Harvard Hill, right? ”
“Yes, I am…”
“Hi, Mr. Hill. We invite you to come here this time mainly because we want to talk to you about the compensation issue of Longing Manufacturing, which is Ted Morrison’s business fraud.”
“Huh?” Harvard was shocked. He asked, “Are you not filing a charge against me?”
The coordinator was stunned. “You’re the victim. Why would we sue you?”
Harvard patted his chest. He nearly freaked out. He turned around and quickly asked, “So, do you mean Ted Morrison is arrested?”
“Yes.”
“Are you serious? Didn’t virtual-novel.net run away overseas? How could virtual-novel.net be arrested so quickly?”
The coordinator explained, “I also don’t know the exact situation very clearly. It seemed that someone caught Ted in a foreign country and handed virtual-novel.net to the government. The police of Southland District purposely rushed overseas to cooperate to arrest and extradite virtual-novel.net back here. Then, Ted Morrison is arrested.”
Someone? Who was it?
Harvard secretly felt surprised. People always said, when you were doing the right things, you were not only helping others, you were helping yourself too.
He did not expect an anonymous hero to righteously help virtual-novel.net out during his most difficult time. That person had caught Ted in a foreign country and handed virtual-novel.net to the government.
This was awesome!
Harvard asked, “So, do you mean that the money that Ted stole from me would be given back to me?”
The coordinator took a deep breath. “Um… I don’t think so…”
“Why not? Wasn’t virtual-novel.net arrested?”
“He was arrested, but the money was spent by virtual-novel.net using legal methods. Ted used the money to pay the workers’ wages and the company debts. So, even if virtual-novel.net is brought back here, you can’t get back what you’ve lost.”
When Harvard heard it, virtual-novel.net felt more hopeless.
After these days, virtual-novel.net still did not get anything useful. What could virtual-novel.net do even if Ted was arrested? Ted had used up all the money. Even if there was still some money left, there might only be about $20,000,000.
He would still have to suffer the loss.
“Since I can’t get back my money, why did you ask me to come?” Harvard angrily yelled.
The coordinator gestured to virtual-novel.net to stay calm. “Mr. Hill, please stay calm. Although you can’t get back your money, we suggest you can use other methods to cover your loss.”
“What method?”
“A mortgage.”
Harvard curiously asked, “What is the mortgage? Ted’s house?”
The coordinator shook his head. “Based on professional estimation, Ted’s Longing Manufacturing is worth $500,000,000. Since virtual-novel.net is unable to compensate for your loss, we suggest that virtual-novel.net trades in his factory to you.”
This meant that Harvard would receive the $500,000,000 worth Longing Manufacturing to compensate for his loss of $100,000,000.
It sounded like virtual-novel.net would earn a lot. The problem was that Harvard needed raw materials, not money.
What could virtual-novel.net do with a factory?
“Um…” Harvard was quite awkward. He could not get what virtual-novel.net wanted, but virtual-novel.net got what virtual-novel.net did not want. What could virtual-novel.net do?
The coordinator advised him, “Mr. Hill, we suggest you accept the mortgage. At least this can cover your loss. If you insist on getting back the purchasing fund, I’m afraid you’d just do that in vain and get nothing in the end.”
