“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
Harvey smiled when he looked at Aurora’s shocked face. “Remember now?”“I can give you some reminders if you want.”“After the commotion you made earlier today, you went back to the Three Seasons Hotel where you met Mateo.”“You later recorded a video on your phone…”“Then, you came here in a wedding dress to jump from this spot.”“If you don’t believe me, just check your phone.”Aurora trembled. She instinctively turned on her phone and played the video inside it.No matter how much she looked, the woman in the video didn’t seem like her at all.“I don’t know what you and Mateo planned…”“But it’s clearly not enough for you to fake your death for him.”“Only when you die for real will his master plan finally proceed.”“Queenie will be criticized and then forced to leave the Yorks of Hong Kong. She’ll have no other choice but to seek Jason’s help.”“After you die, even if the police find out that she has nothing to do with your death…”“The public will always go for Quee
After recalling the past, Aurora suddenly understood.If it weren’t for Harvey’s help, she would’ve been on the news headline as a bloated corpse.Thinking back, it was her who brought up the idea to plunge into the sea to Mateo.She didn’t believe that Mateo would allow her to die in such a dreadful way.“No… This isn’t possible…”Aurora’s face had completely lost all color, but she still remained stubborn.“Why would he even do such a thing?”“Even if he doesn’t want to take responsibility for me, I’m still one of his trump cards!”“I’m beautiful! I know how to serve people!”“I can get the people he wants to take down without any effort!”“Why would he kill me? There’s no point!”“Besides, I was the one who came up with the idea to blame Queenie for this whole mess!”“Mr. Mateo didn’t even come up with the idea!”“I’ll never believe you!”Harvey chuckled and threw a phone at Aurora.“Your room was playing Waterloo Bridge this afternoon, right?”“When you got back, yo
“And when you’re of no use anymore, you’ll be cast aside…”Harvey was impressed by Mateo’s plan.“Mateo’s pretty impressive! No wonder even Fabian’s asking for my help…”Aurora realized that what Harvey said was probably the truth, but she still instinctively denied the claims.“No! I’ll never believe you!”“Mr. Mateo would never kill me! I made the video, wore the wedding dress, and tried to jump because I was pressured! I sleepwalk sometimes!”After all, Mateo was the one who gave her the green card.He was her biggest sponsor, and also her greatest support.She believed that all of her glory and future belonged to this man.Yet… Not only was her future completely ruined, but the same man also tried to kill her!How could she possibly accept that fact?“Sleepwalk? Out of pressure?”Harvey laughed, amused.“I have to admit, your talent to spout rubbish is astounding!”“Are you trying to fool yourself?”“Even if you didn’t know that Mateo was using mild hypnosis on you,
Half an hour later, inside the Three Seasons Hotel’s presidential suite on the top floor.Harvey wasn’t staying here anymore, but the security was still very well-maintained.During the entirety of Aurora’s stay here, she was protected by the Dragon Palace. Nobody knew she was here in the first place.Harvey sat in the hanging garden and poured himself a cup of Black Tea, feeling warm and refreshed.Aurora was sitting right in front of him, shivering in her boots. Harvey smiled at her and poured her a cup of tea.“Here, Miss Celebrity. Drink this to relieve some of your stress.”“This is Iceberg Tea. It was just imported here this year. A pound is worth about seventy-six thousand dollars in the market.”Aurora wasn’t in the mood to taste the tea at all. She took the cup, her body still trembling uncontrollably, and she gulped the tea in one go.Harvey couldn’t help but let out a huge sigh. He sympathized with Aurora, who couldn’t even appreciate some good tea.As a well-known
At first, Aurora didn’t want to believe Harvey. Then, she recalled how she got blacklisted with just a simple text earlier on.Plus, Harvey was residing on the top floor of the Three Seasons Hotel. It was said that only royalty could book the presidential suite.These details alone were enough to explain quite a lot of problems.Harvey’s strength was enough to prove that he had the power to keep Aurora safe.After all, both the Dragon Palace and Longmen’s branch are powerful organizations within Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Besides, both first-in-commands from Hong Kong and Las Vegas had good relationships with Harvey.Aurora’s hesitation vanished. She was completely moved.If she could get close to Harvey and gain his trust, she could return as Country H’s most famous celebrity with just a single word from him.She gritted her teeth and said quietly, “What would you like me to give, Sir York?”“That’s up to you.”Harvey smiled, sipping his tea calmly.“After all, you should be
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
