Just then, Teal emerged fully dressed. She was so breathtaking, really did seem like an actual angel.Her cold eyes gazed right into Harvey’s eyes. She began coldly, “Before, you wanted us to give you a statement about Scarlett.”“Logically speaking, I should be killing right now for barging into my bath.”“But we do owe you a statement.”“We’ll call a truce here, unless you have any other opinions.”“Huh?!”The disciples all went slack-jawed at Teal’s words.They couldn’t believe the Maiden brushed off such a big thing that easily.The statement that they were supposed to give Harvey would be resolved as well.Then… Who was the one suffering the biggest losses?!Some of the disciples glanced at Teal, their eyes twitching frantically.Was the Maiden interested in the man that had been going against the Five Virtues Temple?Harvey was rendered speechless as well.He had no idea what this heavenly woman in front of him was thinking…Nevertheless, he still felt that he was i
“If you can get out of Hong Kong within twenty-four hours, the Five Virtues Temple will let you off the hook for your past actions. We’ll even let you in on some benefits…” Teal continued, her tone cold and stern.Yet, Harvey could only laugh.“This is only the second time we’ve met. Isn’t that right, Maiden?”“Do you really hate me that much?”“Do you want me to get out of Hong Kong this badly?”“That’s right!”“Ever since you came here, Hong Kong has been constantly changing. Cracks are starting to form in the Yorks of Hong Kong.”Teal took a cup of tea from one of the disciples and took a sip, her cold expression unchanging.“The stability of the Yorks is what keeps Hong Kong and Las Vegas standing.”“Your existence will cause great trouble here, so I hope you can get out of here as fast as possible.”“This is for the sake of the Yorks…”“As well as for both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.”“If you leave now, we can kill three birds with one stone. It would be great for everyon
“The Head Coach is a brilliant man! His aura could shake the entire earth!”“He’s the living legend of Country H’s military force!”“How dare you call yourself that?!”“Don’t you know that you already tainted that name just by saying it?!”Teal’s gaze on Harvey was filled with ridicule and disdain.“Because of that, I hate you to the core!”“If it weren’t for me stopping myself from killing innocents…”“You wouldn’t even get the chance to get out of here!”Harvey shrugged.“Everything I said was the truth. It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not.”“Hmph! If you’re still talking like that now, you really must be an irredeemable man.”Teal’s face was colored with a hint of rage. The Head Coach was clearly her idol. She would never let anyone tarnish the name of that wonderful man.She took a step back and snarled icily, “Take this man away! Throw him out of Hong Kong whether he likes it or not!”“Send word! If Harvey dares to call himself the Head Coach, or shows up in Hong
“People say you’re good at talking. I can see that now.”“If a God of War from Country H tells me this, I would’ve believed him.”“But you’re used to betraying others. Your promises are nothing but nonsense!”“Tell me. How should I believe you now?”“I’m just a dying old man, but I know that my country and Country H should rely on each other.”“True, there had been some conflict between us. But now, it’s all under control!”“On the other hand, us people from Nanyang will probably live horrible lives in the future if you Islanders achieve your goals. Am I right?”Akio sighed when he saw that there was no way for him to convince Dean.“So you’re saying you’re willing to walk down this path till the bitter end?” he asked calmly.“If that’s the case, then come at me!”“I’ll send you to your death!”Akio flashed Dean a grim glare. At the same time, his desire to kill Harvey became a lot more apparent.It wasn’t that long ago when Harvey arrived in Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Yet i
Clang!Akio had no choice but to swing his sword to block Dean’s attack.The swing was enough to force Dean to retreat, while also denying him the chance to kill Akio.Alas, the same swing forced Akio to cough up a lot of blood.He took a few deep breaths to stop the pain, but his hatred toward Harvey only continued to grow deeper.Seeing Akio’s wretched expression, Dean said, “You’re not even as good as Miyata. He could at least exchange a few moves with Sir York.”“But you?”“You can’t even take a single hit! You’re already scared sh*tless by Miyata’s death!”“That’s why you weren’t able to dodge Harvey’s blade!”“And now, his blade will be the death of you!”Akio laughed coldly.“Harvey’s just some random mutt!”“If I wasn’t leaving my country in a hurry and got carried away…”“That kid wouldn’t even get the chance to scratch me!”“When I get back to my country and train for another year or two, I’ll let that bastard know just how powerful I actually am!”Dean sighed.
The electric door of the car opened slowly, revealing Vince. He walked under the rain with a black umbrella shielding him, heading towards the Ferrari.He knocked on the car, signaling Lexie to roll down the window.Lexie quickly returned to her senses. Seeing Vince’s tender smile, she was unsure how she should feel. Complicated emotions surged in her.It took her a long while before she decided to open the car door. Immediately, she threw herself into Vince’s loving embrace. “I failed, Vince,” she whispered.“I couldn’t convince him, nor was I able to deal with him…”“I kept calling him filth…”“But at this point, I’m just like him…”Unbeknownst to Lexie, Vince’s face held a disdainful look.Contrary to his expression, he reached out to lightly caress Lexie’s head.“According to my news, that guy barged into the Five Virtues Temple’s forbidden grounds and met Teal,” he said calmly.“Akio wanted to use the Five Virtues Temple against him, but that plan must’ve failed,” Lexi
“If that’s really the case, then I can’t trust you after all!”“All these years, I’ve misjudged you!”Lexie raised her head and glared at Vince with a grim look.She didn’t expect Young Lord York himself to lose his mind to this extent for the sake of a mere woman.“This isn’t about being reckless, Lexie. All of Hong Kong and Las Vegas knows that the Five Virtues Temple stands behind me,” Vince calmly replied.“Even if Harvey and Teal only met by sheer coincidence, our fragile alliance with the Five Virtues Temple will crumble if someone decides to spread rumors about this. This is all the more possible when considering Teal’s status.”“Besides, as a man, I cannot allow anyone to tarnish my dignity!”“I’d rather die than let that man be with Teal.”Lexie reached out and caressed Vince’s handsome face gently.“You’d rather die?” she whispered after a long pause.“That isn’t something a noble like you should be saying, Vince.”“This is a crucial moment in your life. You need t
Vince’s eyes lit up. He then whispered into Lexie’s ears.“If we’re going to deal with my cheap mother, we’ll need to be a lot more careful.”“She’s been acting really suspicious since the past few years, but my fourth uncle still loves her all the same.”“She even has peak Kings of Arms surrounding her every waking moment.”“If we want her dead, we’ll have to make sure we succeed in one go. If not, we’ll only cause more trouble for ourselves.”“It shouldn’t be too hard.” Lexie flashed Vince a warm smile before dialing a number on her phone.“The number one killer organization of Country H, the House of Phantoms.”“They owe me a favor.”…On the next day, early in the morning. After waking up from the presidential suite of the Three Seasons Hotel, Harvey noticed a few texts on his phone.One of them was a report of Akio’s status from Katy.Other than Akio’s successful escape, the other Islanders were now in the hands of the Nanyang Gang. It probably wouldn’t end well for t
