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
While the others were utterly shocked by the sight, Jason Leo seemed indifferent.After all, there were many people who would kneel in front of him anyway. It did not matter if Toby Clarke did the same or not.He calmly walked forward and crouched in front of Toby before tapping him in the face with a smile.“That’s no good, Governor Clarke.“Weren’t you about to shoot me just now? What? Are you just going to kneel after the fourth princess shows up?“Looks like The Empire’s higher-ups were correct! You wealthy people from Hong Kong are just servants of The Empire!“You people look decent, but you’ll kneel without a doubt if there’s a need to!“It’s really boring trampling on people like you, though…“Since you’re this hopeless, I’ll give you a chance! Shine my shoes, and I’ll forgive you! I’ll even give you a chance to talk!”Jason then took a step toward Toby, showing his leather shoe with a smile on his face.Leslie Clarke was trembling with unbridled rage after seeing the
“But you should know that Leo’s here to settle old scores.“Because of your past efforts and the fact that you kneeled right now, I can convince him to give you people a chance.“A chance to stop Hong Kong and Las Vegas from utter chaos.”Toby Clarke took a deep breath.“Very wise, Fourth Princess,” replied Toby quietly.“What are your conditions?”Toby would rather be humiliated than lose the chance…The chance to mediate the situation.“Number one. I want half of all four top families of Hong Kong’s assets. From fixed assets, and stocks, to your cash flow. I want half of all of it,” said the fourth princess calmly.“And don’t you dare say I’m asking for too much. If you people didn’t kick Leo out, his assets now would be way more than anyone ever imagined. He earned this.”Toby forced a smile out of his face.“As long as it’s something money can solve, it’s no big deal. I’ll accept it on behalf of the top four families of Hong Kong.”The fourth princess scoffed.“Number
Dinner time, at the Three Seasons Hotel rooftop garden.Harvey York had already prepared a lavish Hong Kong-style afternoon tea to welcome Toby Clarke, who was showing an extremely gloomy face at that moment.“Governor Clarke, a capable man can yield when needed, but your actions have shocked everyone here. There might be an uproar in Hong Kong soon enough.”Obviously, Harvey already knew about everything that transpired in the Leo family’s villa.Harvey had figured that something like this would happen.Jason Leo would never return to his country out of respect for Toby.As for Jason’s three conditions, Harvey did not deem those demands were too outrageous.Those were clearly Jason’s reasons for coming back this time. If he could accomplish his goals without a drop of blood spilled, he would hold back regardless of his murderous intent.“Don’t you know that outsiders keep calling us the Slave Family?”After getting a change of clothes, Toby showed a faint smile.“Before I re
