“Do you not understand me, Harvey?!”The fourth princess’s tone had become slightly colder.“Didn’t I just tell you?”“Number one: there’s no point in killing Vince!”“Number two: I don't even have enough power to take him down!”“You can name any other request!”“As long as it’s not out of my reach, I’ll satisfy you!”The fourth princess slightly gritted her teeth, as if she had come to a conclusion.“Even if you want to do strange things with me, I’ll fulfill your wishes!”The fourth princess revealed her pale shoulder to show her sincerity.“Sorry. You’re not worthy.”Harvey chuckled calmly.“I have no interest in being a third wheel.”“Also, you have no say in whether there’s a point in killing Vince. I call the shots here.”“Even if I can’t break off The Empire’s connection to Hong Kong’s wealthy families, as long as I’m happy, you’ll have to find a way to deal with him.”“If you can’t even kill Vince, how am I supposed to trust you?”“I’ll believe you when Vince i
“Send them out!”After making another pot of Black Tea, Harvey calmly waved his hand, not bothered to show the fourth princess even an ounce of respect.“Harvey York!”The fourth princess gritted her teeth; she wanted to lash out, but she restrained herself with all her might.She wanted to throw her tea at Harvey, but she had no choice but to hold back her anger. She knew the consequences of doing such a thing would be dire.After coldly glaring at Harvey for a good few minutes, the fourth princess stormed out of the place.A few minutes later, she was sitting in the back of her extended Rolls Royce with an extremely gloomy look.A handsome and elegant secretary handed her a glass of champagne respectfully.“Fourth Princess, what should we do now?”The fourth princess’s expression darkened instantly.“Assemble the Knights of the Round Table!” she exclaimed.The Knights of the Round Table were elites selected within the Knights Templar.If the Knights Templar were considere
Queenie seemed to have understood what Harvey wanted.“If that’s the case, should we tighten our defenses?” she asked with a warm smile.“If we don’t, the fourth princess will surely join forces with Vince to deal with us if she manages to rescue her men.”“That’s fine. I have plans for that already,” Harvey said calmly.“Her authority’s pretty limited. She can only rely on the descendants of Country H within The Empire at this point.”“Even with the Knights of the Round Table, there’s no way she can even get close to her men while I’m here.”Queenie nodded, and then began to ponder over the situation.“If there’s no way to save them, she might just get a few hostages of her own to trade with you.”“You’re already out of the picture. With the elites of the Yorks of Hong Kong next to you, nobody can even lay a finger on you.”“Leslie has the entire government of Hong Kong with her…”“Yoana has the Dragon Palace…”“Irene has Longmen’s branch…”“Zina has the Hamilton family…”
Queenie was impressed by the calm look on Harvey’s face.While she was worrying about Jason’s barrage of attacks, Harvey had already planned ahead, setting trap after trap just to lure Jason on.Queenie couldn’t help but look forward to the fourth princess's actions.She hoped the fourth princess would kill Vince, just as Harvey demanded.If the fourth princess didn’t and tried anything else instead, Harvey would kill her without any hesitation.“Right. In the first place, the fourth princess isn’t as simple as we thought in the first place.”Harvey changed the subject before tossing a USB to Queenie.“I want this USB to go to the Walsh Daily News in the most reasonable way when we need it.”Queenie froze slightly.“This is…”“It’s nothing. It’s just footage of the fourth princess kneeling.”“Of course, I’ve removed myself from the footage.”“Tell me. If the prideful Empire were to discover that their fourth princess had knelt on foreign grounds…”“What would happen to her
The thirteenth young master squinted at Mandy before saying, “Ms. Zimmer, I don’t have a problem with your business plan.”“However, I still think we should change our share of earnings. For example, I’ll take seventy percent, and you take thirty.”“Of course…”“We can’t keep beating by the bush.”“If you’re free in these two days, come with me to Flutwell.”“You’ll realize just how blessed you are to be working with the Bauer family.”“If you stick with us, your position within the Jean family will be solidified.”“After all, out of the top ten families of Country H, the Jean family is at the bottom of the barrel. They can’t even compare to our family!”“Of course, if you consider my other suggestion, I’ll be happy to compromise as well.”“In this world, a marriage is no doubt more secure than a mere contract.”“And I, Joseph Bauer, am very sincere when it comes to my feelings toward you.”“It’s best if you think hard about it. After all, you’re the first woman I’ve ever co
Mandy calmly raised the contract in her hand.“I appreciate the invitation, Young Master Bauer,” she began calmly.“But I don’t think there’s a point for the visit before we complete the deal.”“If it’s no good for our collaboration, why not just consider it as a little vacation?” Joseph suggested.“Right. I forgot to tell you something. I invited Auntie Yates to come as well. Of course, she gladly accepted my invitation…”“Hopefully you’ll join us too.”“After all, you can’t just leave your dear mother running around an unfamiliar place thousands of miles away, right?”Mandy’s face darkened instantly.At this point, she had no idea how to deal with Joseph.Because of what happened in Las Vegas, she hadn’t been in touch with Harvey for half a year.On the other hand, Lilian kept pestering her relentlessly to divorce Harvey. Mandy was extremely torn because of it.Joseph revealed a faint smile upon noticing Mandy’s unhappy look.“Right. I won’t take up any more of your time.
Mandy frowned instantly.“Then I’ll remind you of this again, Mother. All that money belongs to the ninth branch. I have no control over it,” she said gloomily.“I only have a few hundred thousand dollars left, and I’ve given them all to you.”Lilian scoffed coldly. “I can’t be bothered with you! If I don’t get at least a hundred and fifty million dollars as pocket money, I’ll come back for you! You hear me?!”“Don’t think you can hide from me! I’m only leaving you alone since I’m in such a good mood…”Lilian then pulled out a Snow White Hermes bag. She appeared extremely fond of it, too.A Snow White Hermes bag could only be bought with thousands of dollars, but Lilian managed to have one with her. The fact shocked Mandy.“Where did you get that bag, Mother?”“Where? I bought it myself, of course!”Lilian scoffed again.“You’re not going to say you bought it for me now, are you?”“You wouldn’t buy something like this for me, anyway!”“Let me tell you something! If it wer
Seeing her mother getting so worked up filled Mandy with misery.She hadn’t talked to Harvey for half a year. She still remembered the things that happened in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Mandy didn’t want to believe that Harvey really tried to kill her mother.But the bloodshed kept playing in her head, as if it happened just yesterday.Her logic told her that if Harvey wanted to kill Lilian, he would’ve done it cleanly.But she couldn’t forget what she saw with her own two eyes.Mandy sighed, no longer dwelling on it.“Can we not talk about this, Mother?”After seeing her daughter’s miserable expression, Lilian grinned in delight. She seemed to have realized what was going through Mandy’s head.“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about that b*stard for now.”“Right! Young Master Bauer invited me for a meal at the newly-opened Pothole Hotel in the city center. He told me we’re his first customers.”“Why don’t you come with me?”Mandy shook her head.“I can’t. I have a few
