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
“Why are you telling me all this?” Harvey asked, glancing at Marcel.“Do you want me to take care of this mess for you?”Marcel shook his head.“No. I’m just trying to inform you all this so you can send my wife and daughter back to Country H if anything happens.”Naturally, Marcel already had a way to deal with the situation.He told Harvey this much because Harvey had the right to know.Marcel was prepared to fight this war alone.“Don’t worry. They’ll be completely fine.”“Or rather… In Hong Kong and Las Vegas, the Clarke family, the Mendoza family, the Hamilton family, as well as the rest will all remain unscathed.”“If Jason’s only here to take revenge after making his comeback, then it doesn’t concern me.”“But if he’s trying to destroy the two cities from the face of Country H…”“His title as a God of War will end now.”Harvey was expressionless. Anyone who dared to try take advantage of Country H had better be prepared to lay down their lives,Marcel looked deep in
Queenie York tried to explain the situation while turning the steering wheel after seeing Harvey York’s dazed look on his face.“He’s kidding?” Harvey came back to his senses after he froze for a short while.“About what?”Queenie’s face was bright red but perfectly hidden under the night sky.“The things he said after. You don’t have to worry about it.“I used to think of you as my brother, then I treated you like my arch-nemesis, but now I think of you as my good friend…”Queenie felt like her words came out wrong.“That’s it…” whispered Queenie quietly.“Oh? You’re talking about me being the son-in-law?” Harvey instinctively replied.He felt utterly speechless after.“Every time they see me, they keep asking me to be their son-in-law…“Am I really good-looking?”Queenie let out a puff of air before replying quietly, “If you work in the Everblue Pub, I’m sure you’ll make a lot of money in just a single night.”Harvey leaned on the side of his seat and sighed.“Forget
After taking a deep breath, Queenie York managed to put away unnecessary thoughts for the time being before she smiled.“Now that you decided to take action, what would you like to do next?”“I’ll sit tight for now. See what happens.”Harvey York’s eyes lit up slightly before he chuckled.“Jason Leo just made a strong comeback, didn’t he?“He’s demanding everyone to kill themselves in front of him.“I do want to see if anyone’s doing as he demands.“When Jason does something again, we’ll find an opportunity to strike.“We’ll have the chance. I’m sure of it.“Of course, we’ll need to fortify our defenses in Loxus Consortium. You might be his first target, after all.”It was not Harvey’s first time facing someone like Jason.A young and unparalleled God of War like him would surely be extremely arrogant.Compared to Lucas Jean, Hector Thompson, and the others from back then, people like Jason were much harder to deal with.If the opportunity would show, Harvey would also not
“I’m sure you know that Jason Leo’s making a strong comeback, yes?”Toby Clarke did not intend to hide anything at all.“Yes, I’m aware. I also know that he’s demanding all the wealthy families in Hong Kong to kill themselves in front of him within three days,” replied Harvey calmly.“What? Are you planning to deal with this yourself?“Are you going to mobilize the Hong Kong Police Station, or are you planning to call the South Light Military instead?”Toby bitterly chuckled while shaking his head.“Jason didn’t break any laws just yet. How am I supposed to use the government’s power on him then?“Besides, he has the fourth princess of The Empire by his side. If I use the government to deal with him, many innocents will be involved…”Harvey tilted his head slightly while squinting at Toby.“So, you’re saying I should use the Dragon Palace or Longmen instead?”“No.”Answered Toby with a sigh.“To be honest, half of me still belonged to The Empire before Hong Kong was taken b
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
It was obvious Kyros had mastered the way to threaten someone using the people close to them. Or perhaps, it was easier to say that few people could escape the laws of what he had said. Few people could be an island in this world.In short, Kyros had never treated Harvey as someone he had to take seriously even in his subconscious. He was from the Wrights of Wolsing, the leading family of the top ten families.Blaine, Hector, Dan, and the other scions within their ranks might make it worth his time, but Harvey was definitely not one of them."Oh, you're offering me a lesson," Harvey chuckled as he heard his words."I'm not giving you a lesson. I'm simply telling you that there are rules in this world that you can't escape no matter what," Kyros said sincerely. "For example, it might make you feel good to hit my head until it's bleeding, but now that you've calmed down, don't you feel any regret about it? Didn't you feel lucky that I'm still alive? Otherwise, how do you think this w
"These two titles might be enough to scare countless others to submission," Kyros said with a smirk. He then lit up a long cigar and puffed out a smoke ring. "But to us Wrights of Wolsing, that's pointless…"Harvey calmly said, "So that won't work, then?"Kyros smirked. "For the time being, yes. Maybe you can show us some other things, see if they can scare me too…""I think this should be able to scare you." Harvey couldn't be bothered with continuing this conversation. He grabbed a glass ashtray and then slammed it on Kyros' head.There was a bang, and the ashtray shattered as blood sprayed.After what Harvey had done, the arrogant Kyros was instantly in a bad state. Blood was dripping from his forehead, making his face look brutal."What?!" Royce looked at Harvey in disbelief as his mouth opened wide, as if he didn't know how to react. Kyros' companions and his bodyguards were all similarly stunned. No one expected Harvey to attack when the negotiation went sideways.It wasn'
"If you ask me, I don't mind making concessions. If you can call one of the direct descendants from the Jean family to come over and offer an apology, I can consider this matter over. Otherwise, just the Jean family's reputation alone isn't enough. But even then, can the Ninth Branch ask any of them here?" Kyros' face was filled with contempt.It was true that being one of the top ten families was very impressive, but the difference in status between a direct descendent and a descendent from a branch family was quite wide. Someone from the ninth branch of the Jeans of Mordu wanted to force someone from the direct branch of the Wrights of Wolsing to back down?They must be joking.Xynthia wasn't sure what to say at this time, as she had run out of words.At this time, Harvey interjected calmly, "You know what's really going on when it comes to who's being right and wrong. Since Xynthia wants to settle this peacefully, I'm willing to take that route as well. But looking at how fo
Kyros' words carried a hint of laziness and brazenness. It was as if the entire Wolsing had already been crushed under the Wrights' heels. It was as if no one would doubt their strength.After he said that, the man called Raiden revealed a cruel smile and waved his hand. All the other men and women, clad in exotic outfits, moved out of the way, each with a gun in hand. They immediately locked down the entire restaurant. Some of them even calmly revealed their permits and showed them to everyone.In a place like Wolsing, it was almost impossible for someone to possess any firearm legitimately. That alone was enough to explain a lot of things."You're scared now, aren't you?" Royce said coldly as he dialed another number. Another group of security guards rushed in and immediately blocked all the exits. It was clear they weren't going to stop until someone was dead.This could explain a lot of things indeed.However, Harvey didn't think too much about this and simply smiled. Meanwh
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
