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
Harvey York casually sipped his tea.“Perhaps Vince York planned this.“Maybe he knew about Jason Leo’s ambition and personality. That’s why he decided to do it this way.“He’s forcing us to fight Jason to the death.“That way, our strength will start to dwindle.“When that happens, he’ll just sit back and reach for the spoils while we go against each other. In the end, he’ll be the final victor.“So, what’s your plan?”Queenie York frowned.“How can we be the only ones hurting during such an entertaining event?”“Governor Clarke, start spreading the word everywhere.“You need to highlight the fact that Jason’s trying to take over the Yorks of Hong Kong as well. Make it catchy.“Make sure Vince can feel the danger as well.“Even if he manages to keep himself steady, I do want to see if the sly old foxes like Cory York and Noah York can do the same!”***While Harvey and the others were enjoying their dinner, Vince put down his laptop and gloomily stared into the corner of
“It’s implausible, but it’d be better if we keep our guard up regardless.”Lexie York showed a faint smile.“We know too much about Queenie York. There’s no way she’d even show any signs of weakness…“But if that b*stard, Harvey York, decides to take us down with him, we’ll be unprepared!”“Right!”Vince York let out a huge sigh.“That’s why we need to plan things ahead of time. If not, we’ll become the biggest laughing stock in Hong Kong and Las Vegas if we fail somehow.”Lexie pondered over the situation as she pressed down a piano key.“If that’s the case, all we can do right now is to fan the flames and get Harvey to fight Jason Leo!”“How do we do that?” asked Vince curiously.Bang!Lexie took out an invitation from her handbag and slammed it onto the table.“Right here.”Vince shifted his gaze and saw “King of Gambling Tournament” written on the invitation.“This is…”“According to my information, that b*stard, Harvey, will represent the Hamilton family in tomorrow
While everyone was brimming full with excitement, a few Toyota Centuries with license plates from Hong Kong slowly stopped at the entrance of the Mordu Casino-Palace.The people who knew the license plates were shocked. Those cars belonged to the Yorks of Hong Kong, and some of them were even Marcel York’s cars.Before the people could even come to their senses, a dozen strong men in suits walked out of the cars before they stood, making a line.Soon after, two young men with auras of upperclassmen then walked out.The young lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong, Vince York!And the baron of The Empire and the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, Jason Leo!After seeing the two come together, everyone was reminded why they were sworn brothers and that it was natural for them to walk together anyway.And behind the two, Mateo Leo led a group of people in traditional clothing. They must have been the people from the Knights Templar.“Have you assigned a notary yet, Young Master Leo?
Jason Leo burst out laughing before showing a faint smile.“It’s not that I want to say bad things about you, Young Lord York.“You’re a God of War yourself, yet you’re scared of some troublemaker.“Why not just deal with him already? Why keep playing with him for so long?“Since we’re sworn brothers, I’ll deal with him for you this time!“But after this, you have to put some pressure on the top four families of Hong Kong! Make them agree to my terms a little faster!”Vince York chuckled.“I heard about those three conditions, Young Master Leo.“The first two won’t be a problem at all. If you want to, I can help you achieve those goals.“But, the third one…”Jason burst out laughing, then wrapped his hand around Vince’s shoulder.“I’m sure you know me more than anyone else at this point, right?“I was just kidding. The Yorks of Hong Kong belong to you. I wouldn’t dare steal your throne.“Together, we will be unparalleled in Hong Kong and Las Vegas!“Just don’t forget abou
"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
