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
“As you wish!”A group of people trotted forward after hearing Jason Leo’s orders.Mateo Leo’s expression changed slightly.“Young Master Leo, this is completely different from our original plan! This is too risky! If we fail, we won’t be able to explain this to the fourth princess either…”Slap!Jason swung the back of his palm across Mateo’s face with a cold look on his face.“Since when did you have the right to teach me how to do things?“I told you already. I’ll go myself.“I even taught you mild hypnosis.“You wouldn’t think I don’t know how to use it now, would you?“Remember, Mateo. You only became the commander of the Knights Templar because I gave you a chance.“You’re nothing without me.”After hearing Jason’s words, Mateo’s face instantly darkened while he covered his face.The plan was not supposed to go this way, but because of Jason, everything changed.Other than Mateo, the other members of the Knights Templar were all exhilarated as they stared at Jason i
