“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
At the Yorks’ garden villa.Because of the series of incidents that happened last night, Selena Judd was worried about Harvey York’s safety. She forced him to stay inside the garden villa for the time being.Harvey rejected the offer but to no avail.After all, compared to the cold and desolate place like the Three Seasons Hotel, the garden villa at least felt a bit human.Besides, Harvey had a feeling that what had just happened was just an opening show.He had no intention to leave. He wanted to see everything to its end.After waking up, he checked his phone for emails.George Zabel sent over some new information all the way from Mordu.According to his intel, Mandy Zimmer rose to power within Mordu, but her position was quite unstable.To ensure the stability of her people and be respected by the higher-ups of the Jean family, she had been doing her best.Harvey was relieved to hear about Mandy’s growth and was also quite worried about how hard she had been working.But
“So will we!”At this moment, a group of people walked out. They were not from the Yorks of Hong Kong, but they were prominent characters of the younger generation within Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Matthew Flynn, Ellis Parson, Carol Parker, and the others showed up.Safe to say that the elites of the younger generation were all gathered here at this moment. This was truly a magnificent sight.Harvey York was watching the show full of interest.He trampled on many of Vince York’s people and dragged many more who remained neutral to his side.But he did not expect that Vince would have such a great influence.As expected from the young lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong!On closer look, Harvey saw that all the family houses were here, excluding the fourth house.While the people were screaming out loud, people were starting to open cracks from their balconies to see what was happening.Margot Patel, Abel York, and the others showed up while slightly frowning.Though, Marcel York and
Margot Patel clearly understood that fact.She knew full well that Marcel York would have no way to deal with the situation if he showed up himself.“You’re forcing his hand!” exclaimed Margot coldly.Vince York shook his head.“That’s not true, Secretary Patel!“Why would I even do that?“I always treat Lord York with respect and loyalty! We don’t mean any harm!“I’m only sad I let him down because of my improper teaching to my juniors! All this happened because of me!“I only hope that they don’t get punished because of this! This is my fault!“We got the Law Enforcement of the Yorks to handle Julian York’s incident. They’ll give you a fair statement soon enough,” said Margot indifferently.“As for your punishment and involvement in the situation, I have no say, nor does Lord York. Only the Law Enforcement does!“But why are you here trying to force his hand by asking for punishment?!“What’s your purpose here?!”Margot was not stupid either. She glared at Vince as if sh
Vince York’s expression worsened in an instant. He did not believe that Harvey York was just going to repay him with some simple gift.Right when he was about to question Harvey, Harvey snapped his fingers before a few Longmen disciples came out of the shadows with a cardboard box.“Here are pictures of Young Lord York with his fiance!”“He hasn’t revealed who his partner is, has he?”“Aren’t all of you interested?”The disciples leaned toward the reporters and handed the photos to them with warm smiles.The reporters were quite reluctant when they took the photos…But their eyes lit up brightly when they saw the people in the photos.The Victoria Harbor could be seen in the background. The man was none other than the dashing and personable Vince.Though many people could not recognize who the woman was…But the smile on her face seemed quite tender, as if it came straight from the heart.There were already quite a lot of questions in people’s minds when they saw the wedding
When Royce saw the change in Xynthia's expression, he became even more pleased. He quickly explained everything that had just happened. Of course, he had changed certain details during his explanation, turning himself into an innocent victim. Meanwhile, Harvey and Xynthia became a despicable couple who did whatever they wanted."How shameless can you get, Royce?!" Xynthia couldn't help but yell when she heard how Royce changed the facts. "My mom did take your money, but I already promised that I'll give you back the money! But not only did you take away my phone, you didn't even let me leave. You're even going to force myself on you. Don't you think that what you're doing is especially shameless?"Royce's expression didn't even change as he said, "Shameless? It's true I have a thing for money and beautiful women, but I have my own rules. I never force anyone. Every woman that became mine did so out of their own volition. Everyone in Country A knows this!"Royce looked at Kyros and
Electric sparks surrounded the head of the war hammer, which exuded a charred stench. It was flying just like the legendary Mjolnir, a powerful aura surrounding it.Tyson's expression changed as he immediately moved and blocked in front of Harvey. He strikes at the hammer with both hands holding its hilt with all his might.Clang!There was a loud clang as the war hammer and sword struck each other. Tyson swayed for a moment, and blood trickled down from the edge of his lips.His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he had an epiphany. He once again stepped forward and pounced ahead, and the sword in his hand slashed downward.Bang!This time, there was a large bang—Tyson's attack struck the man's armor. The man shook, and he was blown away. He slammed into the restaurant's glass—it started to crack immediately, looking like a spiderweb, terrifying everyone who watched.At the same time, Harvey turned and looked at the man in the armor. His face was quite handsome, and the muscles
Harvey ignored the arrogant Royce and immediately took Xynthia's hand, attempting to turn and leave. Though he wanted to floor Royce and grind that scumbag's face against the floor, he decided to end everything here. Considering that Xynthia was still present, he was worried it might scare her.But when Royce saw Harvey taking Xynthia and heading to the exit, he thought Harvey was scared. He scoffed coldly and waved his hand; without wasting another breath, he ordered, "Get him!"The foreign bodyguards didn't even waste any more time and obeyed his command, roaring as they charged toward Harvey. Electric sparks appeared around them as their muscles turned green, and steel claws emerged from their fists. It was obvious now that they weren't normal people, but rather mutants from Country A.Many were stunned when they saw this scene and grew pale, and instinctively stepped backward to avoid them.The mutants hadn't even reached Harvey when Tyson, who had been standing aside quietly
Royce let out a cry as his body shuddered. He held the other side of his face, which had swelled. There was only disbelief on his face; he couldn't help but take a few steps back.He couldn't believe that Harvey dared to give him a second slap! Everyone who saw it was speechless, as if they had seen something horrifying. Many of the scions and influential people quickly withdrew along with the beauties in their arms. None of them wanted to get caught in this.One who dared to slap Royce again and again was either truly talented or had a death wish. But no matter which kind of person he was, there was no way this would end peacefully today.Even someone ordinary, maybe with a bit of influence, would fight to the death against another who slapped him twice."Brother-in-law…" Xynthia looked at Harvey with admiration. She knew Harvey was good, but she didn't expect he would act so rashly for her. After a while, Royce finally managed to recover. He held his face, the muscles on it
The scions and the politically powerful within the restaurant thought they had drunk too much and were hallucinating. The bodyguards behind Royce even slapped themselves a few times, just to make sure they weren't dreaming.It was obvious that they couldn't believe that Harvey had walked into the revolving restaurant on top of the Geraldton Hotel without a care in the world and even slapped the secret owner of the hotel to the floor.That was Royce, the scion of the Yates of Country A! How dare Harvey? How could he do that?"Just who are you?" Royce demanded. Royce finally realized what was happening. He crawled back up as he held his face, stopping his bodyguards that were going to attack. While he was used to being arrogant, he had learned from his experience in Country A. He knew that no matter how prideful he was, someone would always try to use him as a stepping stone.Someone like that… It was either a madman or a scion with a powerful background.No matter how Royce loo
"Do you think your own sister won't abandon you?" Royce said sadistically as he attempted to provoke Xynthia. "My dear Xynthia, that's not 15 dollars—that's 150 million dollars! A lot of people are willing to sell their countries and families for that much. All I'm asking them is to give you up to me…and that's nothing."I've watched so many things like this happen in the past years. If you ask me, you should just give up. I'm someone with limited patience. Once I've lost interest in you, I'll simply throw you out of the stage. And then, you'll know what awaits you after that…" Royce leaned over toward Xynthia and extended his right hand, wanting to raise her chin."No! Don't touch me!" Xynthia yelled with a dark expression. "My sister will definitely send the money! Do you think I don't know what my sister is like?""What deep sisterly love!" Royce said as he clapped. "Fine—seeing how deep your love for your sister is, I'll give you ten minutes. But remember! If your sister isn't
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
