“Noble princess, I came here because I’ve been personally requested by the duke.“Since the royal family’s reputation was involved, the royal family’s crest was handed to me to handle the situation! Having the family crest is the same as seeing the duke himself!”The duke was The Empire’s head of the ministry of internal affairs and was the equivalent of being the queen’s steward. His status was quite immense, and his words held enormous weight.His status within The Empire was a lot greater compared to the prime minister.Even the fourth princess could not help but gasp after hearing those words. At this moment, the fourth princess knew that Marquis Dunkirk had come to visit for a pretty dire situation.She kept on thinking about why he would come at such a crucial time. Maybe Country H had already sent a letter to The Empire to force them to give up the person who orchestrated Mordu’s incident.Without a second thought, the fourth princess said, “Marquis Dunkirk, if you’re worr
“You’re the one who gave these photos so you can screw with me, right?!”Harvey York chuckled.“That’s right. How are the angles? You like them?”“You’re naive! Even if the scandal’s exposed, you’ll only tarnish my name at most!“There’s nothing you can even do to hurt me!“You’re an adult, Harvey! You’re an upperclassman! Don’t you think you’re being a little ridiculous doing something like this?”The fourth princess coldly chuckled.Harvey seemed powerless to her at this moment. She already took action against his wife…But, not only did he not take his revenge, all he did was release some stupid scandal!This was just shameless!“Hurt you? Why should I? Are you even worthy?”Harvey calmly smiled.“Besides, what’s the point of killing you off anyway?“I might just go against The Empire’s entire royal family if I do something like that.“Victoria will probably come for me to settle the score.“That’s why I have no intention to touch you.“But, I feel pretty agitated if
The fourth princess immediately calmed down after seeing Marquis Dunkirk leave.She knew full well…That she had no choice other than to kill off Vince York.If not, Harvey York would definitely not let her off the hook.She had no choice other than to accept her fate.Without a second thought, the fourth princess took a deep breath and waved her hand at the secretary, who was slapped in the face.“Send word to Harvey. Tell him to let Jason Leo and the others go.“I’ll give him a fair statement.“I do hope to God that he keeps his word…”***Las Vegas, at the Mordu Casino-Palace.Harvey was in the study, looking at the mess sitting on the table.Queenie York walked in with a warm smile at this moment.“The fourth princess sent word, telling us to let go of the people you’re holding hostage and the elites my father took down.“She said she’s going to do as you said.“And that she hopes that you keep your end of the bargain.”Harvey chuckled.“Looks like our dear fourth
“Did that b*stard really say that?“He won’t let them go?!”The fourth princess held her porcelain teacup tightly, trying her best not to smash it on the ground.“That’s right,” said the secretary cautiously.“What should we do now, Fourth Princess? Should we round up our forces?“It’s already way past lunchtime. We’ll be in trouble if we don’t make arrangements now.”The fourth princess took a deep breath.“Maybe we should use Jason Leo’s plan B now,” she whispered.The secretary froze.“Plan B’s been constantly refined. If we need to, we can use it whenever we want.”“But that plan’s for Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ upper social circle in case they try to fight back. It might be a bit of an overkill if we use it now.”“You know nothing.“If we can’t deal with the situation right now, it’ll be useless even if we make plans A to Z.”The fourth princess took a deep breath before dialing a number on her phone.“Hello? Young Lord York?“I’d like to talk to you about Jason’s res
A cheerful laugh could be heard from the other side of the phone.“I have to admit. Those are pretty good conditions.“I’m almost moved!“But to be honest, these aren’t all that practical to me.“I don’t need you to rise to power.“No one would dare oppose me once I’m the head of my family.“Your so-called benefits are just cherries on top. They don’t help me in any way, shape or form.“I don’t need them.“That’s why I’m not all that interested.”The fourth princess took a deep breath.“I can introduce you to a princess of the royal family. She has a better chance of rising to power compared to me.“She’s never been married nor slept with anyone.“I think she’ll be the best candidate to be the lady of your family.”After pondering about the condition for a while, Vince York burst out laughing.“Right!“That’s settled then!“How do we save your men? Where are they right now? Tell me about the plan when you’re ready.“I’ll do everything in my power to help.“Just don’t
Vrooooom!Loud crackles could be heard in the gloomy sky…Fifteen minutes later, eight Land Cruisers zoomed right to the entrance of the abandoned villa.Gangsters with colorful hair, piercings, and tattoos all over were roaming around the courtyard.Those usually arrogant gangsters all trembled in their boots after seeing a few dozen strong men in black suits before they stumbled out of the place.There was no other choice!They knew that the men were clearly owned by a powerful master, so why would they even go against them in the first place?Let alone the loaded firearms in their hands…Before three minutes had passed, the men had already taken control of the whole place.After knowing where the men came from, the gangsters who owned the place could only smile while standing on the side.The young lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong had business here. Surely the gangsters would not even dare go against him.Hong Kong and Las Vegas were either governed by the Briewood Gang or
Clack!The moment Vince York kicked the door down, a smell of gunpowder wafted in the air.“B*stard!”Vince’s face had lost all color. He did not even have time to warn anyone before he used all his strength as a God of War to bust right out of the glass window, stumbling his way out of the villa.Booooom!Almost at the same time, an intense rumble could be felt from the basement. The huge villa collapsed in an instant.Massive explosions came one after another. Countless hidden explosives all blew up at the same time.It was an extremely shocking sight.Vince’s trusted subordinates were sent rolling on the ground. Most of them were already dead.The entire building was reduced to rubble. If Vince were not quick enough, he would have been dead already.But even so, he did not manage to evade all the debris flying toward him. Along with his past injuries, his speed was only half of what he could actually muster in his prime.In the midst of chaos, the God of War was covered i
Before the men around him even realized anything, a bullet flew right through.The man behind Vince York could feel a sharp pain in his chest as he was sent flying. He was already dead when he landed on the ground again.“Sniper!”The men in suits were all elites of the Yorks of Hong Kong and also Vince’s personal bodyguards. Naturally, they reacted quickly during times like this.Vince, who was on the ground, did not even have time to get angry then. He instinctively rolled behind cover in no time.The spot he laid on had a hole as big as a fist. If he were any slower, he would have been dead already.“Protect Young Lord York!”The elites frantically changed their expression before surrounding Vince while constantly screaming.They did not care about anyone else other than Vince at that moment.Pfffft!Another bullet flew right toward them, this time blowing off the head of one of the elite standing in front.Blood and dust mixed in the air.The elites were furious while t
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
