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
Harvey York bitterly tried to convince Toby Clarke that his so-called achievements meant nothing to the upperclassmen…Yet he still decided to meet the fourth princess the next day.And to show his sincerity, he also asked Queenie York to tag along.Judging from Toby’s statement, he said that Queenie could represent the Yorks of Hong Kong.With his arrival, they would be enough to represent the will of Hong Kong’s upper social circle.Harvey felt this was still meaningless, but after seeing Toby’s determined look when he begged to proceed with his plan, Harvey decided to follow Queenie to take a look at the situation.Harvey was not afraid to go against the fourth princess or Jason Leo…But if they were willing to talk, he would not decline the offer either.After all, the world is built through relationships, not just by fighting and killing.On the next day, early in the morning, Harvey stayed inside the presidential suite of the Three Seasons Hotel’s rooftop garden.Toby b
