“It’s Vince.”Selena didn’t even hesitate when she answered.“Out of the entire family, he’s the only person who has the right to take action against me. He can also find the opportunity to do so without alerting me.”“I just don’t know why he wants me dead so quickly.”“After all, I’ll officially be his mother soon.”Harvey shrugged.“That’s why I told you he has no right to rise to power.”“We can’t be so sure,” Selena replied calmly.“After all, me investigating the incident ten years ago will definitely affect the interests of many.”“Vince isn’t the only one. Many others will want me dead.”“It’s a shame. Even if they hate me to the core, they’re also afraid of me. They’d never dare come at me.”“Whether they like it or not, I’m the current lady of the house right now.”“The second most powerful figure within the entire family.”“Out of so many people, there are only a few that would dare go against me.”“Vince is definitely the bravest of them all.”Harvey chuckled
At Victoria Harbor, Vince’s phone suddenly rang as soon as he sat in his office.His expression changed repeatedly after he picked up the call. After some time, a horrible expression settled on his face.“What’s going on? Did the assassination fail as well?” Lexie said, frowning.Vince’s face darkened in an instant.“Not just that, but the killer from the House of Phantoms was caught alive too.”“I was informed that the killer’s unconscious right now. They haven’t got anything out just yet.”“Selena already gave Lord York a call, so he’ll dispatch a few interrogation experts.”“If anything goes according to their plan, they’ll connect the dots to us sooner or later.”“Even if there’s no solid proof, it’ll affect my plans badly.”“The rumors might just stop me from rising to power.”Vince couldn’t help but rub his temples in displeasure. He never expected things would become this troublesome.His plans to kill Harvey failed. On top of that, Selena was still alive as well.At
The so-called Sentries of York was quite similar to a law enforcement agency within the Yorks of Hong Kong. Or rather, it was an organization that focused on violence.Not only was it in charge of protecting the important figures within the family, but it was also responsible for dealing with the dangers within the family’s inner circle.Simply put, the Sentries of York are in charge of doing proper jobs…But they also had to do all the dirty work.To maintain the organization’s combat strength, every single member would have to fight on battlefields outside the country’s borders for half a year.They were highly dangerous, with every single one of them possessing unimaginable strength. Ordinary bodyguards of the Yorks could never come close to them.A fierce-looking man with slickback hair and clad in a white suit led about fifty Sentries of York to the entrance of the villa.Harvey, who had never left since the morning, stood in front of the gate and watched them with eyes fil
However, Harvey stood right in front of the entrance and blocked Julian’s path.Julian glared coldly at Harvey, frowning.“I don’t care who you are.”“I don’t care where you come from, either.”“Good dogs don’t bite.”“Now move!”Harvey didn’t get angry even after hearing Julian’s arrogant tone. He glanced at Julian with a faint smile, full of interest.“You don’t know who I am?”“You’re the one who stopped Dean from killing your master Akio behind the Taiping Mountain’s forbidden area, right?”“You’re clearly his servant, judging from how you prevented Akio from dying.”“And now you pretend you don’t know me?”“Is there a point to all this charade?”Julian grew utterly enraged at Harvey’s taunts.“Shut up!”Julian only took action and helped Akio to repay a favor to Vince, similar to what he was doing right now.Alas, he never imagined he would be thoroughly exposed by Harvey after trying so hard to conceal his identity.It was Julian’s first time meeting Harvey, but h
“What? You’re unhappy with this?”Harvey took a step forward and tapped Julian’s face a few times.“If you’re unhappy, kill me already!”“Do you have the guts for that?”Julian’s eyes kept twitching at Harvey’s look of indifference.He couldn’t hold back his urge and pulled out his firearm before placing it right on Harvey’s forehead.“Shut up, Harvey!”“Let me tell you something…”“This is the Yorks’ turf!”“In our turf, you do as we say! It doesn’t matter who the f*ck you are!”“You don’t have the right to show off here!”“I don’t care if the killer injured you, nor do I care if you’re planning to question her!”“I’m only asking you this: are you handing her to us or not?!”“If not, then don’t blame me when you end up dead!”“I know you can fight, but can you defend yourself against all these guns?!”About fifty Sentries of York immediately pointed their firearms right at Harvey.They would turn Harvey into mincemeat once Julian gave the order.Harvey stood calmly, h
The Sentries of York were filled with both horror and disbelief. Meanwhile, Julian was beside himself with rage.He waved his hand furiously as he let out a cold laugh.“Since Harvey won’t show us respect, we’ll just detain him!”“Kill anyone who tries to resist!”The sentries twitched their eyes slightly at the order. They were terrified, but they had to move nevertheless.They pointed their firearms at every single weak point on Harvey’s body.They were slowly approaching Harvey, as if they were scared that Harvey would suddenly fight back and kill them in an instant.“Did I say that you could move?” Harvey asked, nonchalant, as he took a step forward.Even just a few simple movements from him were filled with unimaginable pressure.A strong aura could be felt crushing the entire sky, forcing the sentries a little closer to the ground.It felt as if their act of pointing firearms at the man before them was utter blasphemy.Julian’s expression worsened after seeing his subo
Julian’s eyes twitched slightly. He seemed to have realized this fact as well.He immediately held his anger back and spat coldly, “True, Selena is the lady of the family. But if I remember correctly, she had already revoked her authority ten years ago because of the loss of her child.”“If you want to prove that we broke the rules, you’d have to prove that she’s still the so-called Lady Judd first and not just some sick woman.”“I knew you wouldn’t give up that easily.”Harvey smiled before waving at Abel.Abel froze for a moment. Then, he brought a golden badge and placed it in Harvey’s hand.Harvey slammed the badge into Julian’s face with all his might.“Open your eyes and look closely!”“This is the Lord Badge! Your lord gave this to his wife!”“This badge alone represents the lord himself!”“Now, how are we going to punish you for going against your superiors?”“You think you can just waltz out of here with the killer and raze the garden villa?”“Let me tell you somet
Harvey’s tone sounded quite calm, but it had enough power to pressure everyone on sight. The elites were terrified to take a step forward, let alone pull the trigger.No one doubted Harvey’s strength at that very moment.After all, he was able to kill off Miyata. It wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with Julian, who had only trained to use firearms and not martial arts.Julian finally came to his senses when he was pinned to the ground.His eyes kept twitching, and his face was twisted in an ugly look. He didn’t expect Harvey to actually be this crazy.The man was clearly at a disadvantage, but he still dared to smack Julian in the face!On top of that, Harvey kicked Julian straight to the ground!Julian stared directly into Harvey’s eyes.‘No wonder a powerful man like Vince is scared of this guy…’‘It’s not that he fell out of power. This man is just too domineering!’Julian was certain that even the princes and young masters from Country H wouldn’t even dare act this way!
