The Sentries of York and the bodyguards and servants of the garden villa could not help but respectfully bow at that moment.Julian York, who was initially acting all high and mighty, felt like a total clown in front of Marcel York. He seemed so ridiculous and ignorant at that moment.His craze and desperation were nothing to this man.After a moment, almost everyone bowed in unison.“Welcome, Lord York!”Only Harvey York remained still while glancing full of interest at the powerful middle-aged man.It did not matter if Marcel coincidentally came back, but it seemed there was no need for Harvey to continue running the show.The damage done to Selena Judd and the entire garden villa would surely be redeemed.Harvey was able to save his strength if that was the case.While Harvey was showing a faint smile, Julian frantically stood up staggeredly from the ground and walked toward Marcel while covering his face.“Fourth Uncle,” he said respectfully.Clearly, Julian was desperat
“You brought an entire group of people to surround the garden villa, ruined the Lord Badge, and acted without restraint, but they are still fine.”“If you followed the procedure or even gave me a call beforehand, you would’ve been fine.“I definitely would’ve allowed you to keep going.“If you acted a little more civilized and stopped using such barbaric ways to do things…“I wouldn’t have said a word.“But you treated the Sentries of York, whom I respected for so many years, as a trump card to abuse your power.“You’re destroying the organization that I brought up for so long…“You truly disappoint me, Julian.”Marcel York looked at Julian York with pity.Julian seemed quite hesitant at this moment.At this moment, all the elites looked at each other before slamming their knees to the ground.“We were wrong! Please give us your punishment, Lord York!”Julian’s eyes were frantically twitching after seeing all of his subordinates kneel.He knew that if he kneeled in front o
“If you want to play games, I’ll play with you.“The five bullets that were removed represent respect of the five houses of the Yorks.“The last bullet is a statement for a man and a husband.“From now on, it’s all up to fate!”Marcel York then placed the revolver barrel against Julian York’s right shoulder.Soon after, he calmly pulled the trigger.Bang!With the sound of a loud gunshot, Julian trembled before his entire body was sent flying by a great force.The moment he slammed onto the ground, his body kept trembling incessantly. He wanted to scream in pain but barely held the urge behind his teeth.Julian was really unlucky, immediately taking a bullet on the first shot.Harvey showed a profound look as he glanced at Marcel.Admittedly, the lord of the Yorks was really quite capable, and he had an imposing aura surrounding him as well.Julian could not stop squirming on the ground. He wanted to crawl back up but could only struggle like a dying dog because of his two
“Number one, from now on, Abel York will be in charge of the Sentries of York. The original person in charge will be sent to the Law Enforcement of the Yorks for trial.“Number two, the Yorks’ garden villa will be listed as a forbidden area. Without my command, anybody who dares to set foot here will be killed on sight.“Number three, as the head of the Law Enforcement of Longmen, Harvey York is now an important guest here. His status is on par with mine.“Whoever goes against Harvey, goes against me!“Kill whoever tries to provoke him!”Marcel York then shifted his gaze toward Harvey, showing a hint of admiration.Harvey looked deep into Marcel’s eyes before showing a warm smile.“Thank you for your generosity, Lord York.”Harvey believed that this man must have known about the things he did in Hong Kong and Las Vegas recently.Even though he knew, he still gave Harvey an important title. This was his way of representing his stance.Margot Patel, the woman carrying the umbre
“I’m alright.”Selena Judd looked back at Marcel York with her brightly lit eyes. After a moment, a hint of regret was showing on her face.“I had let you down for the past ten years…“Because of our child, I’ve been depressed the entire time, but I had never considered your feelings.“You had sacrificed so much just to protect me.“And because of our child’s death, I didn’t want to have another one. That’s why Grandma York’s forcing you to accept that cheap son, Vince York!“Vince acquired so much power within the family because of this, putting you at so much risk now…“It’s my fault that you got to this point.”Marcel froze after hearing Selena’s words. He did not expect that his miserable wife could actually understand his troubles.His subordinates told him that Harvey York was able to cure Selena’s sickness. It seemed like that was the truth after all.After all, Marcel used so much of his connections to hire experts from all around the world to cure Selena’s sickness…
While Selena Judd was proposing the idea to Marcel York…In a secluded villa in Hong Kong’s outer ring.Lexie York jumped out of bed after hearing her ringing phone. After picking up the call, her expression instantly changed.She ran out of her room and knocked on Vince York’s door with a horrible look on her face.“This is bad!“Julian York was taken down!“When he went to kill the killer, he fought with the people in the garden villa!“That b*stard, Harvey York, was there too! Not only did he slap Julian in the face, he completely humiliated him!“Marcel even came back at such a crucial time!“He crippled Julian’s right hand himself!“He dismissed Julian and took him to the Law Enforcement of the Yorks for questioning!“Selena’s trusted subordinate, Abel York, is now in charge of the Sentries of York.“Harvey became Marcel’s VIP and has the same status as him now! If anyone goes against him, they’ll be killed off without mercy!“We can’t just sit here and do nothing, Vi
“I did give the order to Julian York.“But I only did it for the safety of the higher-ups, and that’s why I want the killer questioned.“That killer tried to assassinate Selena Judd!“As the young lord of the family, they can charge me for acting on my own accord at such a crucial time. Other than that, they can’t accuse me of anything!“I didn’t ask Julian to go against Selena, nor did I get the Sentries of York to do whatever they please!”Vince York sipped his water with a calm look on his face.“Besides, according to the intel I received, the killer was already dead!“Selena and Harvey came up with the rumors to dig a hole for me.“They didn’t expect that they’d get Julian instead…”Lexie froze. This was exactly what she was worried about, but what was there to worry about if there was nothing to be accused of?Vince chuckled before playing a video that his subordinate sent.In the video, the killer was being buried.Lexie finally let out a sigh of relief after seeing t
After hearing Vince York’s confident words, Lexie York smiled from ear to ear.She stretched her body and chuckled.“So, we don’t have to do anything right now, is what you’re saying? We’re just going to sit back as Third and Fourth Brother fight to the death?”“No. There’s something that needs our attention,” Vince replied while showing a warm smile.“No matter what, I was the one who ordered Julian York to detain the killer.“I’d have to take responsibility for what happened to him.“If I do nothing, the third house will surely have opinions about me.“That said, I don’t think there’s a need to save him either…“Sometimes, it’s better just to put on a good show. Let them know that I did my best.“After all, putting on a good show is the easiest thing to do in the entire world, don’t you think?“I do want to see how strong this Lord York is when he goes up against the completely fractured Yorks of Hong Kong…“If he lets Julian go after we plead for him, what’s the point of
The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how
"Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo
Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
Travis said mildly, "Logically speaking, you've been with Harvey for so long. You know him better than normal soldiers like us. You think that if we don't report what happens to him at such a critical time, we're hiding things from him. Won't he feel guilty once he finds out in the future?"In the past, he taught us that those who have martial power should serve the people and the country. Are you really going to say nothing to him at this point?"Ethan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We'll take it step by step. We might not really end up in a conflict on the border, so let me think about it."-The third ring of Wolsing, the Ninth Branch.In the CEO's office, Mandy had just poured Harvey a cup of coffee. She was stunned."How did you know about the underground boxing ring? We do have an asset like that, but since it's in a gray area, it's not suitable to be spoken of openly. "That place has raised a lot of martial arts elites and trained many of our security guards, which
"You'll get your chance. Maybe you'll find a chance to kill him and it'll be fine," Harvey said, patting Ethan on the shoulder. "You're here in Wolsing to make your annual report, right? We'll finish this first, then we'll go to the Judds of Wolsing. There are certain things that we need to deal with first. As for someone like Clarion… Don't worry about him."There was a strange expression on Ethan's face, but in the end, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright. I'll listen to you. I'll come to help you once I've made my annual report at the ministry."Suddenly, Ethan remembered something else. "Right, there's something quite problematic you didn't know. I heard one of the underground boxing gyms belonging to the Ninth Branch of the Jeans of Mordu, where Mandy is from, has been continuously challenged by someone. They've lost dozens of matches, and it's causing huge losses in the past few days."The underground boxing gym is located in the countryside of Wolsing, and it should be
While it was vital for Dan to see Sienna, it became something very few people noticed as the situation in Wolsing kept changing. This included Harvey. While his men had been keeping an eye on Dan and his entourage, even they couldn't confirm all his movements. A man like Dan had to keep their planned routes in secret more than anything else.Most importantly, there were quite a number of talented people around him. Even when George used everything Sky Corporation had access to, they couldn't find out everything clearly in a short time.After making their reports to Harvey, he made sure George's operations were funded even more and told George to find a way to hire more martial arts elites, as George's people were no longer sufficient to deal with what they had to do right now.The next few days had been quiet, as if nothing important was going to happen anymore in Wolsing.One morning, a man clad in military uniform stood outside Harvey's residence. It was Ethan Judd, the Longsword
"Right, there's something else," Dan said as he slapped his forehead. "It's almost time for my grandmother's 90th birthday. She's a good friend of our teacher. If you have the chance, please convince him not to stay in Wolsing all the time. He should head to Grand City once in a while. He might think things through after that."Sienna nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll try talking to him. After all, staying in Grand City for a few days might improve his condition."After half an hour, Dan quietly left the temple of the Saint of Death and got back into the red car. Shortly, the car started and slowly left the national park.Once the car was back on Wolsing's freeway, the woman who had been playing with it called Lanny beamed and asked, "So, how did it go? Did that junior of yours change her impression of you?"Lanny crossed her legs, and the fragrance from her tickled Dan's nose. He wished he could immediately pounce on her and pull her pantyhose away."Things aren't that easy," D
"That's right, because he really impressed me. But the reason I'm impressed isn't because he has become the representative for the Martial Arts Alliance. It's simply because he's willing to fight for our country. Few people have such pure thoughts in this age," Sienna said after giving it a thought."That being said, few people know that I've been impressed. How did you find that out?"Dan smiled. "You must have forgotten something. While you're our teacher's last student, I'm also a favored student myself. Just because you called our teacher didn't mean we didn't remain in touch. I know you're impressed by him through our teacher as well. And I heard from our teacher that you want to find a chance to introduce him formally?" Hearing what Dan had said, Sienna nodded. She often mentioned Harvey to her teacher but did not expect her teacher to divulge it to Dan."The thought did cross my mind," Sienna said in honesty. "You should know that our teacher should have reached the level o
"As for Parkerville controlling the Martial Arts Alliance? I don't think you need to do that. Among all the Sacred Training Grounds, Parkerville is the one Sacred Training Ground that is linked to the broader society the most. The Country H government is aware of your actions and is on their guard."If you really manage to become the representative, not only will the top ten families suppress the Martial Arts Alliance, but even the five hidden families and the four pillars will do that. That way, it will simply make our factions lose our power due to infighting. It's a demerit for all of us," Sienna said with a hint of sternness."If I were you, I would spend some time in Wolsing, have dinner with your representative, warn him a little, talk about cooperation, and then leave. This is the best choice for us, for you, and for the entire country."When Dan heard what Sienna had to say, he smiled. "Thank you for your thoughts. However, as a man, my life should be one of glory and passio
