At night.Hong Kong International Airport.An airplane from The Empire was preparing to land.Hundreds of fighter jets were seen escorting the airplane. All came from The Empire as well.The entire airport was completely locked down.Rumors said that to ensure the safety of the airport, the top four families of Hong Kong had all mobilized their family’s power to get almost ten thousand men to lock the entire place down.Safe to say, it had been a long time since the families were this cooperative.All this, just because of a powerful man’s arrival.Other than the core people from the Yorks of Hong Kong, the entire social circle of the family only knew that The Empire’s baron and the deputy commander of the Knights Templar were about to arrive.Many of them didn’t know that the legendary being was none other than Jason himself.At this very moment, nobody could get close to the airport.There were quite a lot of people trying to tend to the powerful man, but they were all cha
Soon, many people dressed in traditional clothing showed up in Mateo’s peripheral vision.A woman in royal clothing, accompanied by a casual-looking young man, was standing in the middle of the crowd.The woman’s face was exquisite. She looked like a mixed-race; her nose bridge was quite tall, and her eyes were as beautiful as a painting. Her face mask gave her a mysterious yet enchanting appearance.She was none other than the fourth successor of The Empire’s royalty, the fourth princess.The person behind her was a handsome man who was around five foot nine, with a face as sharp as a blade.He looked incredibly charming, but a heinous feeling could be felt all over him. The sensation pushed the people around him on the verge of kneeling.He was the baron of The Empire, the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, and the God of War: Jason Leo!Jason glanced at his surroundings calmly before pulling out a thin and long cigar and lighting it up casually.Mateo strutted forward
Mateo let out a faint smirk before slowly straightening his back.“Don’t you worry, Young Master Leo. I was slow, but I’ll make sure to complete my mission as soon as possible!”“Give me two more days! I’ll show you a whole new Hong Kong!”“I hope so,” Jason drawled. “But even if you can’t do that, it wouldn’t matter.”“There are some things I should’ve handled myself in the first place.”Jason then flicked the ash off of his cigar before making a gesture, signaling to Mateo to follow him outside.“Back then, I was considered a young and vigorous man when I came to the Leo family from Hong Kong,” Jason narrated calmly as he walked.“The family despised me, but I still fought bravely for the Leo name. I was prideful!”“I wanted the Leo family to be the top rated family in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas!”“I reshaped the entire business structure for the Leo family, letting the family flourish and prosper. The family’s riches, authority, and power made us the head of the top fou
At Taiping Mountain.The Victoria Harbor was clearly visible from the Leo family’s mountaintop villa.The place was filled with colorful lights, and different wines were served. It was truly a lavish sight.Melissa, who had already risen to power within the Leo family, was sitting on top of the hall. She was quite drunk. “God bless the Leo family!” she exclaimed excitedly.“Just now, there was news from the airport.”“The fourth princess of The Empire and the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, Jason Leo, agreed to visit us after arriving from Walsh!”“We’re truly blessed!”“With The Empire’s protection, our family is destined to be the head of the top four families of Hong Kong!”Quinton, who was standing beneath Melissa, had a faint smile.He knew about the powerful figure Vince invited, but he had no information about the man’s past whatsoever.This didn’t affect his plans, though. Out of the top four families, the Leo family contributed the most to escort Jason her
When the Leos saw who the man was, they were so shocked they started gasping for air.“Isn’t… Isn’t that Jason?!”Someone who recognized Jason, the man who once had a bright future in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas six years ago, yelled out loud.In an instant, everyone’s gaze shifted toward Jason.“That’s him?!”“How is this possible?!”Many thoughts came to everyone’s minds. They weren’t able to come to senses from the sheer shock.Jason ignored everyone’s confused gaze completely, and walked steadily toward Melissa. He sized up the woman in front of him, who seemed to have been frozen stiff.“I heard the old b*stard, Alan, got placed under house arrest because of you,” he said with a faint smile.“That little f*cker Chris got offed by you as well.”“You’re pretty good, Melissa.”A profound smile played on Jason’s lips.Melissa’s eyes twitched.“Jason? You’re not a part of the family for a long time now!”“Why are you still here?!”“You useless b*stard!”“Get out of her
Ten o’clock at night. Nothing could be seen in the dark night sky.Hong Kong was engulfed by darkness. Everywhere was covered in dark clouds.It was as if a rainstorm was approaching. Truly, a worrisome sight.Harvey entered the Yorks’ garden villa after receiving Queenie’s call stating that Marcel wanted to see him.He went as soon as possible after hearing that.After all, he had been staying in the garden villa for the past few days. Normally speaking, he would constantly bump into Marcel.Queenie wouldn’t have called if it wasn’t anything important.By the time he arrived, refreshments had already been prepared inside the villa’s dining hall.Marcel didn’t move his utensils even after seeing Harvey arrive. He was holding a few pictures, and handed them to Harvey when Harvey approached.Harvey nodded at Selena and Queenie, who were right in front of him, before turning to look at the pictures.There were two people shown. One of them was a mixed-race woman mixed-race, and
If the wealthy families from both Hong Kong and Las Vegas were involved, Harvey wouldn’t have that much interest in the situation.But after Marcel pointed out Jason’s true intentions of returning, Harvey couldn’t help but frown.Harvey had just kicked a bunch of Islanders out of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, but Jason had just to show up.Judging from Jason’s resume, he represented the western army who were invading Country H’s bridgehead.Harvey felt that he needed to put his guard up after realizing this fact.“You want me to make a call and send him back to The Empire?” Harvey asked.The Empire still owed him a favor. If Harvey wanted to, the eldest princess of The Empire, Victoria, would surely do as he asked.But unless this was completely necessary, Harvey wouldn’t want to ask for such a favor. If he didn’t use his favors sparingly, he would have less chances to ask for another.“Even if you manage to chase him off once, can you guarantee he won’t come back again after a few
“Another thing. Since the fourth princess is right beside Jason, this means he’s being fully supported by The Empire.”“The four top families who belonged to The Empire won’t even dare go against their masters!”“The news I received said that they came to an agreement. They planned to send an astronomical check, some extremely valuable assets, and the shares they hold to Jason.”“They hope to stop Jason in his tracks with the money.”“Even though Jason said he wanted their lives, he didn’t kill them all immediately after returning. He gave them some time to reflect.”“Thus, they decided to squash the scandal six years ago with loads of money.”“Jason didn’t even take action. All he did was occupy the Leo family’s villa…”“Yet, the four top families of Hong Kong have already given up.”“The Yorks of Hong Kong are in shambles as well. There’s nothing I can do at this point.”Marcel let out a grave sigh. He did have the power to resolve the situation, but because of Jason and Que
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
Following the angry, booming voice, three people in uniform walked over.The one leading was an overweight man wearing a cap. His face was a little pale because he had been indulging himself for an extended time. The man behind him was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant. Both the man and woman were in uniform, and they took in the chaos with a stern expression.The one who spoke was the one in the lead.All the men and women gave each other a look and stepped forward at the same time."Director Braff! You have to do us justice!""Director Braff! The specialist from the Country A embassy will give you a call very soon! You have to do this fairly!""Director Braff! There are about 80 thousand to 10 thousand citizens of Country A in Wolsing! You can't ignore our request!""Director Braff! You're a good friend of our country! All of your children are studying in our country! You definitely know how we treat our friends, right?"When the men and women spoke, some of them
Harvey's expression changed slightly after he heard that. After he had finished questioning both Gin and Morganna, he let them go. His aim was simple—he wanted to use them as bait.While it wasn't exactly effective, it was better than nothing.He didn't expect them to die in less than a day, with all the evidence pointed at him. At that moment, Harvey was so speechless, he felt like looking up into the sky.Before the precinct looked for him, Harvey went to the police station in the Third Ring. He had just entered the door when dozens of men in suits approached him with a pretentious aura."That's him! He's the murderer!""He silenced Gin and Morgana when they're just going to the hospital for an interview!""I heard he even offered them money and killed them when the bribery didn't succeed!"The people yelled at Harvey, revealing the crimes he committed. They took out the phone from their pockets, about to take a video of him.If Harvey were a normal person, he would have al
Half an hour later, Harvey and Yvonne enjoyed hot tea in the hospital meeting room.After finishing her cup, Yvonne sighed and said, "I underestimated Linus. While he was in prison and couldn't leave, I never expected that he could make something up like this. Claiming that I and the Islanders were colluding while the family's leader is sick so that I can take all the Xaviers' assets for myself."If the two of them really did publish an article like that with the photos they got, then I would never be able to prove my innocence. Thank you, Harvey."Yvonne sighed. Things would not have ended so smoothly if Harvey had not been around today. Since someone like Gin and Morganna were very pretentious. As long as their weaknesses were not exposed, they would never be able to get the truth out of them no matter how much they threatened the two."You focused on the wrong thing," Harvey said. "Whether Linus ordered the reporters or the reporters wanted to assassinate your character, both ha
Whoosh!A pebble shot out from the floor and immediately hit Gin on his wrist. Because of the pain, the revolver almost fell on the floor as he lost his grip.Two of the security guards saw their chance and quickly ran over. One grabbed the revolver away, and the other immediately captured the other two. Shortly, both Gin and Morganna were brought to the security room. Their IDs were also found."Oh, you two are reporters from Country A? Good, good!" Yvonne looked at the ID written in a foreign language. "I didn't expect reporters from Country A to come and spy on the health of my family members. You must have a lot of free time. Or… Did Linus send you?"Both Gin and Morganna's expressions turned into shock, but Morganna coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Linus, Linas, they have nothing to do with me. All I know is that you're going to pay a price for imprisoning us here, and I know you're not brave enough to kill us!""That's right!" Gin commented with a cold e
