The spectacle was stopped short…The incident happened so suddenly. Even Marcel York had no way of dealing with it at this moment.Obviously, since Vince York was sent away, this was just the beginning.Margot Patel sent a large group of the Lord’s Guardians around the place, ensuring that similar incidents would not recur.Harvey York shrugged before casually returning to his room.The sea and the sky merged together, forming a beautiful scenery…Right when Harvey was about to ask for some food, a few knocks could be heard coming from his door.Margot was seen wearing a gown outside the room.“Sir York, Lord York is inviting you for a meal. Would you like to join him?”The woman in front had such a beautiful figure and look…Her cold and distant aura could be felt through her strong attitude…Harvey could not help but be impressed by Selena Judd’s generosity. He did not expect she would let such an alluring woman like Margot work as Marcel’s personal secretary.Was Selena
Even Harvey York, who had seen the world’s best dishes, could not help but be impressed.“This is good cooking.”Marcel York raised his head to look at Harvey with a warm smile.“These are just some simple home-cooked meals. It’s good that you don’t dislike it.”Harvey’s pupils shrunk after hearing those words before glancing back at the stir-fried radishes.The size of every piece of radish was perfectly uniform. Even the color of the radishes looked all the same. The seemingly simple plating had quite the spontaneous feeling to it as well.This was quite the display of skill indeed!Surely, Marcel has been honing his skills with steel blades for at least dozens of years…He did not intentionally reveal anything, but Harvey knew he was a God of War, judging from the food in front of him.Marcel was also not just some phony God of War. He was legitimately powerful.Right when Harvey was admiring Marcel’s strength, he squinted while showing a faint smile.“Sir York, not only
After being silent for a while, Harvey York quietly replied, “I have a question. You’re still in your prime, and you’d be able to govern the Yorks of Hong Kong for at least another ten years.“Why would the family want you out of position that badly?”Marcel York’s eyes lit up slightly.“Do you read up on history, Sir York?”“More or less,” Harvey replied while nodding his head.Marcel smiled.“History will make a person understand the reason for the country’s rise and fall. Comparing yourself to others can give you insight into right and wrong.“Young people nowadays wouldn’t even read into history.“They’re indulged with debauchery. They’re totally different compared to us older people.”Marcel pondered about the situation before showing a faint smile.“Since you read history, then you should know about the golden age of the Whip Dynasty’s three emperors, right?”Harvey nodded.“Let’s skip the founding emperor.“We’ll talk about the next two instead,” said Marcel.“The
“Me?”Harvey York sat frozen in place, then burst out laughing after hearing Marcel York’s words.“Are you asking me for advice? Or is this just some sort of test?”“Does it matter?”“If you’re really asking for advice, then I suggest you destroy the entire family.“But if it’s just a test, then I’d simply tell you to stay on the course you’re in.“My advice is pretty risky, and it’ll end up real bad if you’re not careful.“Of course, if you have the courage and authority to suppress the entire family, you’d be right no matter what you do.”“Destroy the family?“Without destruction, there is no creation…“Better to suffer now than to suffer more…” muttered Marcel to himself.For him, Vince York and the others had been an extremely detrimental force within the family…But if they were removed, the family would likely split in half. Marcel would also probably die in the process…But if not, the Yorks of Hong Kong would be walking toward their inevitable fall from power.Eve
Harvey York was indifferent when he left the garden villa.He knew that his words greatly impacted Marcel York.Marcel probably never thought of letting Queenie York take his position.After bringing this up, if Marcel were to make the decision, there would surely be a big spectacle playing on the day of Grandma York’s birthday.Harvey was not interested in that event, but even he wanted to ask Selena Judd for an invitation for that occasion.After all, such a big show could not be witnessed from just anywhere.Right when Harvey was pondering over the situation, an unregistered Toyota Alphard suddenly stopped beside him.After the car door opened, a short-haired woman in a uniform walked out with a cold expression on her face.She was holding a laptop with many pictures of Harvey inside.After comparing Harvey to the pictures, she calmly asked, “You’re Harvey, yes?“The Third Lord wants to see you.“Please get inside the car.”“The Third Lord?”Harvey curiously glanced at
The man was none other than Noah York, the head of the third house himself.Noah walked to the living room and squinted at Harvey York for a while before he said, “Sir York, right? You’re pretty good.”Harvey chuckled before lighting up the cigar in his hand.“You’re too kind, Third Lord York.“A man like me has no place to impress a big character such as you.“I’m unworthy of accepting compliments at all.”Noah’s eyes squinted slightly. He did not expect Harvey was this showy.Noah hid his surprised gaze before casually sitting in front of Harvey.“The prince of South Light at such a young age…” said Noah while sizing up Harvey.“You managed to climb the ranks of Longmen in such a short time too…“I didn’t even have such achievements when I was your age.“Among the younger generation, you are pretty impressive.“You are outmatching even my ungrateful son at this point!”Harvey shrugged after hearing those words. He knew that the show was coming…“I also heard quite a lot
“What? Did you call me over just to lecture me?” asked Harvey York calmly.“You’re telling me to humble myself?”After hearing the distant tone in Harvey’s words, Noah York comfortably leaned on the couch as he squinted.‘A King of Arms from Country H relying on a man from Nanyang to support him…‘Does he really think he’s a big shot or something?’Noah instantly had opinions about Harvey. He reached out his hand to make a gesture.The doors opened soon after, revealing three bodyguards in black suits carrying a plate each.Noah then squinted at Harvey.“I’m not here to lecture you today, nor am I here to take revenge.“What I want to do will benefit both of us. It’s a win-win situation.“We’ll surely be satisfied by the outcome of this.”Noah snapped his fingers, signaling the first bodyguard to reveal the wooden plate covered by a red cloth. An antiquarian book was revealed inside.“This is an ancient text from one of the sacred martial arts training grounds. There’s only
Simply put, Noah York did not want Julian York’s future to end because of this one incident.He was already prepared to take action as Vince York’s plan was foiled.“I know it’ll be hard for you to do because of Selena Judd.“But you’re already this close to becoming a God of War. You’ll have a new alliance with me as well!“And all you need to do is to give a simple testimony!“There’s no better timing than right now!”Harvey chuckled without replying immediately. He looked at the final plate and said, “So, what’s this last plate for then?“What’s in there?”The best trump cards are always left last.Harvey wanted to know what else Noah could offer, as well as the conditions he was going to demand.“Here are ten equity transfer contracts.”Noah lifted the cloth himself before throwing the contracts in front of Harvey’s table.“These shares are currently from the ten biggest companies in Hong Kong’s market. You’ll be able to become a top-rated family instantly.“You’ll bec
