The Xaviers from South Light all did not know about Harvey York’s true identity.They all nodded in unison after hearing those words.“Prince Leo truly has great foresight. Announcing the marriage on an occasion like this is equivalent to make the relationship between the Leos and the Xaviers from Wolsing public!”“With the chief instructor, Oskar Armstrong, the first-in-command of South Light’s military force along with the others as witnesses. This is an affair that will shake the entire country!”“After this, the status of the family will surely rise up quickly!”At this moment, nobody cared about Yvonne’s expression.In their eyes, selling out Yvonne for so many benefits was a business worth making!***At the same time, inside a luxurious villa.Chris Leo was attending to an important guest.The guest was none other than the Leo family’s distant relative, Jessie Tate.Jessie’s family was a branch of the Leo family, but the Leos never looked up to them.But Jessie was d
Jessie Tate was showing utmost admiration and respect written on his face.The Chief Instructor of Sword Camp was a myth in the military force, a living legend.Chris Leo then slightly trembled and asked, “What? A chief instructor might even be able to take the position of an Elder in the military force? Are you serious?!”“There’s no doubt about it. Who else would even have the right to do so other than him?” Jessie lamented.Chris took a deep breath and swiftly replied, “If that’s the case, then we should be fighting for his acknowledgment!“If he wills it, then it wouldn’t only be about my marriage this time. The important thing is that we’ll also have connections with the future Elder of the military force!”“Maybe we can even use the connection to put the Leos on the leaderboard as one of the top ten families!”Chris held off mentioning one more thing. If he could be acquainted with the Chief Instructor, then nobody would dare to threaten his position as Prince in the entir
At the same time.At the Yates family’s house.Grandma Yates, Carson Cloude, and Callum Robbins all stood up straight.As a first-rate family in Buckwood, those three showing up had meant that was something big happening.And not far away from them, a man wearing a black suit stood still with his left hand up while staring at his palm.There was an unspeakable aura surrounding the man. He did not do anything special, but the atmosphere had made Grandma Yates and the others freeze in place, not even being able to breathe.After a long while, Grandma Yates and the others all regained their courage after the man put down his left hand and said, “Young Master, what brings you here?“You didn’t call us beforehand to fetch you either.”Quinton York then replied, “If I’m any later, the four first-rated families will all be dead in a ditch.”Grandma Yates and the others all had a slight change in their facial expressions after hearing those words.Quinton was furious.At this moment
“Are you serious, Young Master?!”“If that’s the case, then we shall do whatever it takes and give you a surprise before the Ceremony of Changing Defenses!”Grandma Yates and the others were all rubbing their hands together.Dealing with Harvey York could be exchanged for their freedom. There were no better bargains in this world to them.Especially for the Yates family, they had never forgotten about Silver Nimbus Enterprise. Still, they were reluctant to take action since they would hinder the future first-in-command of South Light’s military force, Bellamy Blake.But now that Quinton York supported them, they were naturally unscrupulous.Looking at the few people that were highly exhilarated, Quinton’s expression had turned as cold as ice.He had already gotten word of Callum Robbins’ failure.He also knew about the Chief Instructor of Sword Camp attending the Ceremony of Changing Defenses for the first-in-command of the South Light’s military force.This was also the main
Grandma Yates shook her head. “No. I heard that the new king of South Light’s streets is Tyson Woods, who is Prince York’s subordinate.”“To utilize the people from the streets to make our move is basically suicide.”At this moment, a young man standing in the corner, the Prince of the Cloude family, Eric Cloude, walked out and interrupted in a deep voice, “Three Chiefs, I have something to say.”The three chiefs looked at him at the same time. After a while, Carson replied, “What do you think?”Eric placed his hands behind his back as he said aloofly, “Since we can’t use the men from the streets, we can use a different way. How about inviting people from outside of South Light?”“I heard there are many mercenaries on the border of Ohio who are on the edge of survival. As long as we give them money, they’re willing to do anything. We three families should join hands and invite these people. They should be able to get rid of Harvey without anyone’s knowledge.”Callum Robbins and G
“Pfft.” Harvey laughed. “You’re from Siam, right?”“Why should I go with you?”The man snarled coldly, “You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t.”Harvey frowned. “Who did I offend?”“Just come with us quickly! Don’t force us to do it the hard way. Don’t blame us if the two ladies behind there get ruined when we accidentally hurt them!”The man was already running out of patience.Although this area was at the outskirts of the city, it was likely that passers-by would drop by. If that happened, they might call the police.If the police came into play, things would be a little troublesome.“I can go with you, but can’t you at least tell me who I have offended?” Harvey questioned righteously.“Fine, I’ll let you know. The person you’ve angered is Young Master Eric Cloude from the Cloude family. He’s the one who hired us to take you away!”The man then immediately yanked open the car door, grabbed Harvey, and then threw Harvey into his van.Harvey did not resist because he was afr
The man lit up a cigarette. He only smiled after blowing out a smoke ring. “Harvey York, Prince York’s representative, the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmers. Am I right?”“Who are you?” Harvey was indifferent.“Let me introduce myself. I’m Eric Cloude.” Eric said politely.“Have I offended you?” Harvey frowned. He truly had no clue about the dispute between him and the Cloudes.“You didn’t offend the Cloude family, but you shouldn’t have offended the Second Young Master.” Eric replied with a smile.“Second Young Master?” Harvey frowned, “Are you talking about that trash Quinton York?”“Huh?” Eric was taken aback for a second. “Did you just call the Second Young Master trash?” What was Quinton’s status in South Light?Even if he was defeated and had retreated to Hong Kong, in truth only few dared to talk of him.“A centipede dies, but never falls.” The Yorks were certainly obstinate.Yet Harvey, who was in front of Eric, had casually called Quinton York trash.Eric was no fo
“They’ve always been vicious. Since Harvey angered them and they took him away, he’s as good as dead.”“You should remarry!”Finn was all smiles. He could barely wait. According to the agreement, that trash Harvey was about to die soon, right?That trash dared to make Finn kneel before him!He definitely deserved to die by the hands of those gangsters!Seeing everyone’s sneers, Mandy grew desperate. She then kneeled in front of Grandma Yates, crying piteously, “Grandmother! No matter what, Harvey is still your grandson-in-law!”“Have you forgotten? Previously on your birthday, he tried his best to give you a gift!”“Even if it’s only because of that reason, please let Uncle save him!”Grandma Yates sneered. “Bribing someone with a mere pill? He must be dreaming!”“Mandy! If you still acknowledge the Yateses as your family, then just turn a blind eye on this matter.”“Wait until the news of his death is confirmed, then go through the formalities for widowhood. Grandmother wi
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
