While Vince York was telling everyone his master plan, a call from Las Vegas got Harvey York up from his afternoon nap.Harvey was quite surprised after seeing the number.The King of Gambling, Fabian Hamilton, said that he was going to put the casino license of Mordu’s Casino Palace under Harvey’s name, but it never happened…And since Harvey’s relationship with the Hamilton family improved, everyone was considered to be on the same side. The situation was left up in the air because of it…But after getting Fabian’s call, Harvey had a bad feeling about this…After all, Fabian would never give Harvey a call for no reason.When the phone rang the second time, Harvey then picked up the call.A long sigh could be heard from the other side of the phone, as if Harvey was going to realize something. The sound abruptly stopped before Harvey listened to a hearty laugh.“It’s been some time since you contacted me, Sir York!“Did you have too much fun in Hong Kong? Las Vegas is your tur
Fabian Hamilton’s words were filled with helplessness, dreariness, and a lot of resentment…“My family rose for many years. We were called the kings of Las Vegas, but I didn’t expect I’d get beaten so badly at such an old age…“But don’t worry. Even if we lose that casino license, I’ll get another one to replace it for you.“You deserve it after all.”Fabian tried to maintain his dignity within his words. He seemed like he needed help, but he still held onto the pride of his family with all his might.Harvey York burst out laughing before showing a serious look on his face.“Alright, Fabian. I’m done joking around.“Be honest with me, is the person you’re gambling against a tough one?”“He is, but we should be able to handle him…”Fabian went silent for a long while before saying those words.But after he did not hear Harvey’s response, he bitterly chuckled.“Right. I’ll be honest. He’s really tough.“He came three times already. He only plays three rounds every time to det
After pondering over the situation for a moment, Harvey York quietly asked, “What’s his background?”Fabian Hamilton naturally had already figured it out beforehand.“It’s pretty extraordinary. He’s a nephew of the Leo family from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets, and also the commander of the Knights Templar, Mateo Leo.”Harvey froze. The country and the Knights Templar seemed familiar, but it was his first time hearing that name.“Be more specific.”“The Leo family from The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets was a branch separated from Hong Kong’s main family back then.“It’s said that the acting young master of the family is Jason Leo. This man was once the head of the Four Masters of Hong Kong. His tactics and methods are all quite outstanding.“Mateo is his best subordinate of them all.”“Jason, Mateo, and the Leo family…”Harvey leaked a smile after a moment of muttering to himself.“I’ll head over there soon. Let me have a look at the surveillance footage.”Judgin
Harvey York took a sip of the cup of water on the table while having someone adjust the cameras to face Mateo Leo.At that moment, his warm smile put Harvey in deep thought.At the same time, inside VIP room one, Mateo nodded to the people around him after he sat down before looking at the dealer with a faint smile.“Thank you for tonight, Miss.“Please tell your boss that the rules will remain the same as the past few nights.“You can bring whoever you want to challenge me.“You may also change players in the middle of the game.”Mateo’s tone was extremely gentle. No aggression of any sort could be heard from his words, as if he was just a kind man living next door.Not only would this make a good impression on the spectators, but even the staff members were quite fond of him.After all, compared to those rich people with a lot of money who burst out in anger after losing…Mateo was a breath of fresh air to those people.Sitting in the surveillance room, Harvey calmly said,
According to the deal, there was still one round left to play.Even though the Hamilton family had a chance to make a comeback, they had already lost.They could make the casino-palace look a little better if they won at least one round.But if they lost all three rounds, the Great Gambler would have his reputation completely tarnished once and for all.Fabian Hamilton showed a horrible expression after seeing that they were destined to lose again.“Sir York, did you see anything amiss?” he whispered.Harvey York frowned, adjusted a few surveillance cameras, then told the others to focus on the dealer and the middle-aged man.On the huge screen, three faces were shown side by side. Compared to Mateo’s calm demeanor, the other two were so nervous that cold sweat dripped down their necks.Fabian was terribly worried after seeing the sight. If they were to lose this round, the casino license would not only be a part that they would lose…Losing fifteen rounds in a row would be ex
“That’s why I said this is mild hypnosis,” replied Harvey York calmly.“Hypnotism tricks like these were used by the Knights Templar on their own and considered to be a sacred art.“The goal is simple. It’s used to tell themselves that they are the Knights Templar and they’re invincible with the power of the holy light.“To a certain degree, this was able to increase their strength.“A human’s mental state would hugely affect them.“If they believe they’re invincible, they’d naturally be more terrifying than ordinary knights.“And if I guess correctly, this commander here must’ve mastered mild hypnosis.“He doesn’t need to take complete control of his opponent. All he needs to do is to make him feel like he’ll lose!“Along with his gambling skills, he’d naturally be unbeatable against an opponent who’s already lost all confidence.”It was Fabian Hamilton’s first time hearing such a thing, but he quickly understood.Psychological suggestions would definitely have a significant
The entire casino palace was going wild.Everyone witnessed the Hamilton family lose another ten percent of their casino license.If Mateo Leo kept winning, the Mordu Casino Palace would have a new owner in no time.Inside the surveillance room, Fabian Hamilton was showing a horrible expression.Harvey York came to his senses. He finally understood every single detail.Mateo snapped his fingers to use his hypnotism, making his opponent feel like he was going to lose. That way, he would be able to use the change to beat down the Hamilton family completely.“What a plan, Mateo!”Fabian took a deep breath and stood up.“Thank you for your guidance, Sir York. According to the rules in Las Vegas, people who cheat must have their fingers cut off.“Mateo cheated for five straight days at this point. I should get someone to chop his hand off by now.”Fabian spoke in a cold tone while showing an extremely scornful expression filled with murderous intent. This was the true face of the
According to Harvey York’s plan, he wanted Fabian Hamilton to be Mateo Leo’s opponent next.Fabian did not meet Mateo on his own. Instead, he welcomed Mateo to continue challenging the Mordu Casino Palace via various social platforms.At the same time, the Hamilton family had already prepared their experts for the next battle.The entirety of Las Vegas was in an uproar after hearing the news.After all, the King of Gambling had not shown up in the media for many years.Fabian announced the news for two purposes…Number one. To show everyone that the Hamilton family was not directly related to the incident. That way, the family would look a little better on the outside.Number two. The Hamilton family was ready for battle.Simply put, if the Hamilton family were to win in the next match, all doubt about the family would dissipate instantly.And if they were to lose, the Hamilton family and the King of Gambling’s reputation would be marred forever.In Harvey’s eyes, a simple ba
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
