“Of course not,” Harvey shot back icily, his face scornful.“You don’t have to participate if you’re not satisfied,” Teal replied calmly, indifferent to his rage.“If you’re here, you’ll have to abide by my rules.”“I have the final say in my territory, after all!”“Alright, that’s enough talk. Take Sir York and leave, Ms. Clarke.”“I won’t argue with you. For your family’s sake, I won’t put you two on the blacklist.”“But there will be no next time.”Teal’s words returned to its cold and distant tone…As if she was the golden rule.“This is your explanation?”“These are the Five Virtues Temple’s rules?”Harvey chuckled calmly.“How domineering! You must be really confident in yourselves!”It seemed Teal didn’t hear Harvey’s words, or perhaps she just couldn’t be bothered to answer him. Either way, there was no reply.The middle-aged priestess hissed, “Come! Send them off!”Several Five Virtues Temple disciples closed in slowly, disdain evident on their faces. “Let’s g
“This broken sword belonged to the Head Coach, and that’s all there is to it.”“It has no other meaning.”“This is just trash that the Head Coach casted aside after it was broken during the Euro-American battle.”“Who knew that someone would be this shameless to pick this up?”“You can request the Head Coach for anything you want with this garbage? What a joke.”“Can you think for a second?”“You think you can ask for anything from him with a broken sword?”“Stop dreaming!”“You can only take this sword home as a collection. After all, this is a weapon that has slain countless men.”“Judging from your skinny limbs, you shouldn’t blame the Head Coach if you croak because of the killer aura on this thing”Harvey was indifferent. He possessed many things, so why would he give a thought about a broken sword?He only wanted to prevent The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets from having such a thing by calling his bid.But since the Five Virtues Temple was biased toward them, Harve
Harvey looked at Sharon, still very much calm. With how much she praised his other identity, he almost couldn’t bear making fun of her anymore.“I don’t need any evidence,” he replied calmly.“I’m the Head Coach, after all.”“It’s not a token because I said so!”“Do you understand?”His claim stunned the crowd into utter shock.Everyone started at Harvey, full of disbelief.‘Branch Leader York and Prince York are identities of the legendary Head Coach?!’If that truly was the case, then his words were right and the broken sword did have no use at all!Even Teal, who was safe backstage, found herself shaking in bewilderment at Harvey’s claim. Even for a woman as divine as herself, she could only admire the Head Coach from afar.Yet this kept man who used women to rise to power actually claimed himself to be the Head dignified Coach!How was this possible?!A long silence passed, only broken by Murphy’s derisive scoff. “What’s this? Do you all actually believe what this
Harvey and Leslie returned to the presidential suite half an hour later.Leslie’s face was scrunched in an odd expression when she entered the room. She was hesitant to utter a single word.Toby knocked on the door before locking eyes with Harvey, wearing the same odd expression as Leslie’s. Harvey then glanced at Leslie, silent.Toby, on the other hand, burst out laughing before walking in.“Please don’t blame Leslie, Brother York. Even if she didn’t tell me, with my abilities, I’ll figure it out by tomorrow morning anyway.”“In any case, she’s not really selling you out.”Harvey chuckled.“You’re too kind. She only told you everything for my own good. I can understand that, so I won’t blame her for it either.”“That’s good.”Toby poured himself a cup of tea, and then pondered for a moment.“Brother York… Since we’re already family, let’s just be frank with each other. Are you really the legendary Head Coach?” he asked quietly.“Isn’t it fine if you tell me?”“I just nee
“Oh? Isn’t Vince with Scarlett? Why’s he aiming for Teal as well?”Harvey’s lips curled to reveal a sardonic smile.“Is the Five Virtues Temple his harem?”“Shhhh! Don’t say things like that!”Toby stood up anxiously, shocked. After making sure that nobody was listening in, he breathed out a sigh of relief.“While the Yorks of Hong Kong are the true kings of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, the Five Virtues Temple holds great influence over South Light and its surrounding areas.”“The title of sacred martial art training ground isn’t just for show, you know.”“Not only did you go against Teal, you even greatly damaged their reputation!”“These two things should be enough for them to hold a big grudge against you!”Toby frowned.“You should seclude yourself for the next few days. You shouldn’t go anywhere, in case the Five Virtues Temple finds anything they can use against you.”“Ever since Scarlett failed their mission to usurp the Hamilton family, they’ve already held a grudge agai
Leslie had a bitter look on her face.“Sir York, sometimes it’s better to back down.”“If you vent your anger right now, you’ll only hurt yourself.”“I have a suggestion. You should probably apologize to the Five Virtues Temple for what happened tonight.”“But we’ll definitely make them pay us back for what they did soon enough.”Harvey smiled without giving a reply, opting to swallow his bitter Black Tea instead.Ding!Toby’s phone vibrated right at this moment.He made a gesture of apology before picking up the call.After a while, a mystified expression showed on his face.“You’re saying the Head Coach’s broken sword that Murphy and Sharon won was robbed?”Harvey was surprised to hear that. He didn’t think that news would travel that quickly.After finishing the payment, Sharon immediately left with Murphy.Before the duo managed a single mile from the Three Seasons Hotel, several burly men in suits showed up in front of a stoplight.These men put down Sharon and Murph
Aside from Sharon and Murphy, Leslie and Edwin were at the front door as well.Had it not been for Leslie and Edwin blocking the path, these furious westerners would’ve charged right into the Clarke family’s garden villa.Despite the duo’s efforts, several of the family guards still got beaten up. Some were lying on the ground after receiving painful blows. It was a horrible sight.“What’s going on?”“Who hit the guards?” Harvey walked out, his face as calm as still water.“I did. What of it?”Murphy was dressed in western clothing. He glared at Harvey, full of rage.“You finally showed up, you despicable man!”“You didn’t win last night’s auction, so you robbed us while we’re on the way home?!”“You’re a vile man! Where’s your shame?!”“How dare you call yourself the Head Coach?!”“Screw you!”“Everytime I see people like you, my blood boils for Country H!”“I can’t believe I’m from the same country as someone like you! You’re embarrassing the entire country!”“I’d rat
“We don’t need a Mendoza telling us Evans how to do things!”“You have no right!”Murphy pointed arrogantly at Edwin, burning with fury. Edwin was about to lash out to retaliate, but Leslie waved her hand to stop him.“I’ll tell you this one more time, Murphy. Sir York didn’t steal anything!”“Besides, that broken sword doesn’t mean anything to him!”“It doesn’t mean anything?!”Sharon let out a cold, high-pitched laugh filled with derision. “You’re telling me that after he took out seven hundred and fifty million dollars just to bid against me?!”“He seems quite determined to get the sword to me!”“Besides, Harvey’s my only enemy here! No one else!”“You’re all idiots! Stop running your mouth already!”“Say another word, and I’ll get the Interpol to arrest you too!”At this point, Leslie was doing her best to hold back her rage.She was afraid that things would escalate further. If that happened, Harvey would be forced to butt heads with the Five Virtues Temple again.
