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
Toby Clarke pretended he did not see the distant look on the butler’s face and burst out laughing.“Come! Let’s head inside. The fourth princess must’ve been waiting for us.”Toby then took a step forward.Queenie York and Leslie Clarke looked at each other before following him inside.The group of people were taken to the side hall before the silver-haired butler poured some Red Tea for them.“Please, make yourselves at home. Other than the side hall, please don’t go anywhere else.“The fourth princess is still jet-lagged. You’ll have to wait for a moment.”The butler’s tone was extremely polite, and his actions were very courteous, but Toby’s face became a little colder after hearing those words.No matter what, he was still Hong Kong’s first-in-command. Even the ambassador of the American Embassy would have to visit him in his place.After deciding to put aside his pride to visit the fourth princess, the outcast dared to keep him waiting like this?Was she still treating h
“Why are you looking for the fourth princess now? Are you planning to sell out Country H this time?“Are you going to show your capabilities as one of the Slave Families again?“That said, I’m sure we can work something out. Kneel outside for three days, and we’ll give you a chance to talk.Jason Leo was showing a playful expression.Toby Clarke’s expression changed slightly. Being called one of the Slave Families was his biggest taboo. Jason was blatantly disrespecting Toby.Toby managed to quell his anger for now and force out a smile.“You’re too funny, Young Master Leo.“Do I look like I’m joking to you?”Jason tilted his head while casually lighting up his cigar, then blew a huff of smoke right toward Toby’s face.“Why are you here exactly?“Do you think you’re some hotshot now that you’re Hong Kong’s first-in-command? That’s why you think you’re some persuasive talker now?”Jason reached out his hand with the cigar and tapped Toby on his face a few times while showing
“How dare you?!”“Do you want to die?!”“The two of you have a death wish or something?! How dare you speak to our commander like that?!”“F*cking b*tches!”Before Jason Leo could even speak, the subordinates behind him were already boiling with anger.In their eyes, Jason was everything to them. How could they even bear their master being insulted like this?Jason waved his hand at his subordinates with a faint smile.“There’s no need to get mad at two ignorant young women.“It’s fine. Soon enough, they’ll do exactly as I say.“This isn’t the first time something like this has happened anyway.”The people of the Knights Templar were all laughing in unison after hearing Jason’s words.They were reminded of all those fierce women being violated by their commander before being turned into slaves on the battlefield. They had no other choice but to follow Jason’s every single order.The thought of two ladies from wealthy families turning into slaves was simply exhilarating.Ja
A dozen people in traditional clothing showed up from outside the hall.Those people were westerners showing utterly condescending expressions.They were surrounding a cold and aloof woman who seemed to be of mixed race.The woman was wearing a gown with a laurel on her head studded with gems and gold. She seemed like she was twenty-eight at most. She looked very elegant, but her dominant side was also quite apparent.Her fierce aura engulfed the entire room. She was none other than The Empire’s fourth princess.Every step she took, a terrifying aura could be felt exuding from her figure.Her cold gaze locked onto Toby Clarke before she coldly exclaimed, “Young Master Leo belongs to me. He’s the deputy commander of the Knights Templar. If you go against him, then you also go against me.“If you don’t apologize properly, I won’t let you off the hook.”Apparently, the fourth princess did not even remember the things Toby did for her. She treated Toby like a stray dog trying to cl
