“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
It was Vince York’s first time facing such dire pressure in his entire life.There was no one to protect him. For the next five minutes, he only had himself to rely on.Bang bang bang!Right when Vince was hesitating whether to climb out from the sewer or not, a barrage of gunshots could be heard.The cement board in the sewer violently shook before it cracked…Vince laid low while showing a horrible look on his face. He had never needed to hide in such a disgusting place before!This was his biggest humiliation!Vince frowned while gritting his teeth. He was confused. Why would the sniper even do such a useless thing?Vince was sitting in a blind spot. The sniper knew where he was, but there was no way Vince could be shot for the time being.Typically speaking, the cement board was his life raft. He could use it to block the next attack…Vince’s face darkened instantly. He realized that the cement board was starting to sway after being shaken by a barrage of gunshots.“Not
At Hong Kong’s Maria Hospital.Lexie York, who got here as quickly as she could, gritted her teeth while patiently waiting for Vince York to be done with his operation.“Damnit! That damn half-blood dares to go against Vince?!“I’ll kill her!“I’ll kill her!!!”Lexie thought Vince would get his way and fool the fourth princess, killing Jason Leo in the process.But she did not expect that the so-called collaboration was just a death trap set up by the enemy.A few dozen of Vince’s trusted subordinates were already dead. Even Vince was on death’s door himself.If it were not for the Five Virtues Temple, everything Vince had worked for would collapse instantly.Other than a sense of dread, Lexie was filled with immense fear.“Those b*stards, Harvey York and Queenie York… If it weren’t for them using someone else to do their dirty work, the fourth princess wouldn’t have risked it either!“Those b*stards need to die!“Come! Get me my troops! I want Harvey to pay with his blood!
A resentful look was showing on Vince York’s face after he said those words.Did he want to just forget what happened to him?!No!But he had no other choice!If he took action without any solid proof, reason would side with the enemies!He was a seasoned man. He would not be that reckless to do such a thing.Lexie York felt speechless. Her heart was filled with rage. She would not allow this incident to slide that easily.But, if she were to cause trouble to Harvey York and the fourth princess like Vince aforementioned, she would be making a big mess for no reason.Rhyme and reason would not be on her side.The enemies might even use the opportunity to make accusations.If that were to happen, Lexie and Vince would end up suffering significant losses.Lexie managed to calm herself down a little bit at this point.“Are we just going to let this go?“You almost got killed!”Vince let out a sigh as he pondered over the situation.“This might not be bad for us either, Aunti
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
