“Since we’re about done with our food, let’s talk business,” Queenie said, as she sipped her wine.Harvey chuckled.“I knew something was up. There are no free meals in this world, after all.”“What? Did you already figure out your fiance in just a single morning?”Harvey’s words infuriated Queenie.She then let out a huge sigh, pushing away her anger.“I didn’t manage to figure out everything about him, but I do have a rough idea.”“Young Master Leo here goes beyond my expectations.”“I’ve asked about him from some of my friends back in The Empire. For the past six years, Jason hasn’t been discreet as the rumors say.”“Apparently, he spent three years building his own billion-dollar company.”“He then spent an additional three years to join the Knights Templar before becoming the deputy commander. Rumors say that he might be a God of War now.”“In just six years, Jason has become quite the prominent figure in The Empire’s upper social circle.“It’s said that even The Empir
The return of the king!The comeback of a God of War!These weren’t simply rumors; they were proof of Jason’s strength!“So, what are you going to do about it?”Harvey thought about the situation before glancing at the horizon.“Judging from our current information, he didn’t come here for a stroll.”“It’s fine. I have a few cards up my sleeve.”Queenie’s gaze fell on Harvey once more. A faint smile played on her lips.“Me?”Harvey chuckled.“I do have a few scores to settle with Young Master Leo.”“The Mordu Casino-Palace, for example…”“Aurora, who had been embarrassing herself all over Durin as well…”“But before I take action, I’ll need you to prepare yourself.”“People who become Gods of War in a span of a few years are all extraordinary people.”Queenie nodded lightly. This was her first fierce battle out of many before she could rise to power within her family. Since this was also Vince’s scheme against her, she had to be ready.If she kept relying on Harvey, he
Seeing Aurora’s sorry state, the people around couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.She was quite the beauty, after all. Everyone would surely feel that way after seeing her in such distress.Harvey frowned. After hearing Aurora call out the name Mr. York for the third time, he knew someone was instructing her to do all this.‘Is she here to make a scene?’‘Or is she here to show off her crying?’“The moment you got out, everything’s already been settled.”Queenie’s face, however, was cold. “You getting blacklisted is no one else’s problem but yours. You brought this on yourself.”“Even without Harvey, someone else would’ve blacklisted you sooner or later.”“I’m really sorry, Mr. York, Miss York! I know what I did wrong.”Aurora moved her legs and crawled toward Harvey and Queenie, all the while putting on a pitiful look on her face.“I came to Hong Kong for my first ever concert. This is my first stop in Country H, my biggest highlight in the entertainment industry!” s
As the security guards dragged Aurora out, she kept struggling and begging for mercy with a hysterical expression.“Please! Give me one more chance!”“I was wrong! I was wrong!!!”Her followers started to echo her cries.In front of a crowd who didn’t know the minute details of what had taken place, Aurora and the others seemed like people who were being taken advantage of.When Aurora and the others were finally gone, Queenie said calmly, “That woman’s quite the character. She seemed like she was going to fight us to the death, but then she started groveling in front of us…”“What a flexible woman!”“Not quite.”Harvey stood up and went to the back door.“Let’s have a look outside.”Queenie froze. A hint of confusion could be seen between her eyebrows.…On Victoria Harbor’s plaza, Aurora and her followers could be seen kneeling at the Seaside Restaurant area even after being thrown out.She was still displaying a tearful expression as she wailed in sorrow.She was beggi
There was a satisfied look on his handsome face.“You did well, Aurora! I’m sorry to make you go through all that,” he said with a look of approval.“You’re too kind! It’s my greatest honor to serve you!”Aurora seemed quite coy when she spoke to him.“Besides, how dare Harvey and Queenie blacklist me throughout the entirety of Country H like that?! I’ll let them taste their own medicine!”“But I don’t understand. Why did you only ask me to go against Queenie, and not Harvey?”“If I’m correct, the person who blacklisted me must be the rumored powerful figure from Country H, Harvey York!”“We should be dealing with him right now!”Aurora knew her actions would cause a lot of trouble for Queenie, but she was more interested in taking revenge against Harvey.After all, she considered herself to be the person responsible for Durin’s fame. Additionally, the Kaizen Group wouldn’t have tasted success had it not been for her help.Thus, she wanted to trample on Harvey.“There is an
“If this keeps up, you’ll have your first casino license in just a few days!”Aurora couldn’t help but hug Mateo’s shoulder. This man who was within reach was simply far too outstanding.In just two days, he had stirred up a huge storm in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Not only was the Hamilton family forced to a corner, but the Yorks of Hong Kong also had their own set of troubles to deal with.This was a real man!“Young Master Leo was already prepared to deal with the Hamilton family.”“He told me that I have to fight them on the gambling table, so they have no excuses!”“The Mordu Casino-Palace’s casino license is just the beginning.”“I’ll make them hand over every single casino license to me, along with their assets…”“That way, it’ll be far more interesting.”Aurora giggled shyly.“Are you still going tonight?”“If you are, is it fine if you take me with you?”“Not tonight.”Mateo looked calm. “Didn’t the King of Gambling himself challenge me on social media?”“T
Mateo gave a small smile as he sized up Aurora.“You really are a great talent, Aurora,” he said, showing his admiration.“You shouldn’t just be a simple actress. You should become Young Master Leo’s military advisor instead!”“I didn’t even think about that…”“But you did!”“That’s an excellent plan! Once news breaks out about Queenie forcing a famous celebrity to jump into the sea, the papers will write themselves!”Aurora laughed.“How far should we go, Mr. Mateo? Where would be a good spot to jump?”“I think the Victoria Harbor’s pretty good.”“There are a lot of tourists there. I’ll definitely cause a huge buzz if I jump there!”“When that happens, you can get one of your men to pretend to be a tourist and pull me out of the water before I start acting again. This is perfect!”Mateo burst out laughing and snapped his fingers.He looked straight into Aurora’s eyes and said, “Your plan’s pretty good, Aurora, but I think it can be better.”“We won’t be getting you any he
Six o’clock in the evening, at Vesper Light Tower.Victoria Harbor’s scenery was truly beautiful.After recording the video as instructed by Mateo, Aurora put on a wedding dress and brought her phone with her as she climbed the light tower.Perhaps it was because of her distant look and her dress…But passers-by and tourists alike assumed she was just filming a scene.Not a lot of people came to disturb her. Rather, they were all standing close by so they could record her actions.At a quarter past six, Aurora climbed to the top of the tower on her own under the watchful gaze of many, with the tower being around three hundred feet tall.She gazed toward the horizon as she held onto the rails.The sea breeze was terrifyingly loud, carrying a hint of salt. The windy effect made Aurora seem quite miserable, especially with how her dress stood out against the night sky.Everyone suddenly realized what was happening. People started screaming at Aurora, trying to stop her from endin
