While Cory and Lexie were carefully laying out their plans…In the cold wind of Hong Kong, an unexpected guest showed up before the dimly-lit garden villa.Because of the wind and rain, the heavily guarded place had become a little lax in terms of security.Inside the main building, only a few people could be seen roaming around. These were the elite guards of the garden villa.After most of the guards had been taken away by Marcel, not a lot of people were left in the building.A mixed-race man in a knight uniform emerged from the shadows.The firearm in his hand was equipped with a silencer. As he trudged forward, he quietly destroyed all the surveillance cameras along the way.At the same time, he roamed the villa to make sure there weren’t a lot of guards around. Then, he sent out a signal.Minutes later, several men in the same knight uniform showed up with swords in their hands. They walked into the main building with menacing steps.Their movements were extremely light.
The elites already had their firearms with safeties off beforehand. Red dots shone on Rozak and his men before they realized what was happening.At least four dots could be seen on every single knight.The fierce knights were now so scared, they didn’t dare budge even a single inch.They knew full well what those red dots were.If they did anything stupid, they would no doubt perish once someone pulled the trigger.One of the knights, however, didn’t believe that the York elites would actually take action.He rolled to the front and pounced at Selena, ready to capture her alive.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!Countless bullets quietly rained on the knight; bullet holes could be seen all over his body.Cold sweat drenched Rozak’s back. A member of the Knights Templar was turned into mush right before his very eyes!The smell of blood filled the air, making the place completely dense. Rozak and his men’s intention of fighting their way out was immediately squashed as well.“I just bo
“I have to admit! Even though that fourth princess of yours is just an outcast, she’s still pretty ruthless!”“The moment she got word that she lost Jason, she didn’t even hesitate to launch an attack.”“It’s a shame that she’s going up against Harvey.”Selena felt quite a bit of admiration toward Harvey as she spoke of him. Naturally, she was more and more content with her future son-in-law.Rozak’s face turned horrible after hearing Selena’s words.He took action only half an hour ago. Everything had been decided on the spot. It was clearly a stroke of genius…Yet, Harvey managed to see through the entire plan.That man even deliberately set up a trap just for Rozak!A hint of fear pulsated in Rozak’s chest; the same fear he felt on the Euro-American battlefield.Rozak was so terrified by the ancient eastern country, he couldn’t even hold his firearm…“Drop your weapons,” Selena said calmly.“I’m getting old. I don’t like killing.”“That said, it doesn’t mean I won’t kill
“Kneel and beg for it,” Harvey replied, calm.“If you do, I’ll give you a chance to save them.”‘Kneel?!’‘Beg?!’Everyone was shocked to hear those words. Even Fabian, Morgan, and the others, who were having breakfast with Harvey, couldn’t stop their jaws from dropping.‘What’s going on?!’‘Did he just say he wanted the fourth princess to kneel?!’For a long time, The Empire was the strongest country of them all.Even though the fourth successor of the throne probably had no chance sitting on the throne, her status was still immensely powerful.When the fourth princess traveled on behalf of The Empire, she would still be treated like the leader of a nation.The citizens and even royalty would pay their respects to her.Some would even write an entire speech a month prior, just to say a few words in front of her.Everyone would be terrified to offend the fourth princess and The Empire.Yet, Harvey demanded her to kneel and apologize.This was no longer a challenge.This
Everyone was baffled over the turn of events.When Hong Kong was once ruled by The Empire, even the governor would have to kneel on the side of the street just to welcome the princesses…Yet now, Harvey was the one demanding The Empire’s fourth princess to kneel!To top it off, he looked as if this was just par for the course. He hadn’t shown not even an ounce of respect to the fourth princess!Not only was her pampered ego being rightfully bashed, but The Empire’s royal family was also being ridiculed.At this very moment, the fourth princess was boiling with anger.At the same time, she knew full well that Harvey was forcing her into a corner.If she knelt, she would end up in Harvey’s hands sooner or later.And if everyone were to catch wind of what happened, her reputation within The Empire would be completely tarnished.“How dare you insult me, you b*stard?!”The fourth princess was utterly enraged.She let out a cold shrill laugh before kicking Harvey’s dining table.
“Let’s not talk about stuff that far ahead…”“After you tried to assassinate Lady Judd with your men last night, I should just end your life with a single slap right now.”“And I guarantee you that The Empire won’t even dare make a single sound after you die!”“Do you want to try?”Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice.The noble status of The Empire’s royal family meant nothing to him.“For the sake of Princess Victoria, I’ll give you one more chance.”“You either kneel, or you get out.”“Choose yourself.”“You’re beyond arrogant!”A blonde member of the Knights Templar screamed, unable to hold back his anger anymore.His companions were already sent flying, but after seeing his princess being humiliated, he gritted his teeth and stomped forward without hesitation.The Knights Templar were sworn to protect their princess. They would never sit and watch as their princess was being put down.“Roosevelt! Stand down!”The fourth princess, however, immediately stopped her su
This was humiliation!Utter humiliation!At this very moment, Roosevelt’s face was twisted into a horrible expression.He tried to get back up, but the strength in his knees disappeared after just a glance at Harvey’s calm gaze.His entire body was warning him that he would only die if he forced himself up.Harvey completely ignored the knight kneeling on the ground, and shifted his gaze toward the fourth princess.“Fourth Princess. Looks like your knight knows how to read the room better than you.”“You have three seconds…”“B*stard!”“You’ve crossed the line!”Several knights pounced forward while shouting furiously at Harvey.But before they could do anything, Edwin immediately showed up with a group of guards to stop them.“One second…” Harvey said casually, continuing to count. It was as if he didn’t see everything that had happened.“If you’re still not choosing, then I’m sorry, but I’ll have to do it for you…”“Damn you! Damn you!”The fourth princess was shiverin
Harvey wiped his hands before giving her a calm reply. “Business isn’t done this way, princess.”“Before we talk about letting the people go, shouldn’t we first decide whether Jason’s going to die or not?”“Don’t forget! According to the contract, his life is mine. He’s my servant. He bites whoever I tell him to.”“If you want him to live, then kill Vince in exchange.”“If he dies, Jason lives. The deal’s still on. I have no intention to call it off.”The fourth princess took a deep breath.“I know you’re trying to turn Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s wealthy families against The Empire, Harvey.”“That way, The Empire would have no way to meddle in the affairs here.”“Your plan to end Vince’s life using Jason is pretty cunning, I admit.”“That said, you’re overestimating me.”“I don’t represent The Empire’s royal family.”“Even if I go against everyone here, it doesn’t mean that they’re turning against The Empire.”“The Empire’s connection with Hong Kong and Las Vegas is really d
"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
