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
Chapter 2974“Right, Auntie. I want you to send an extravagant gift to the Five Virtues Temple for me.”Vince York’s eyes lit up. Even at this moment, a burning passion could be felt inside him.“Other than that, we’ll let go of all those things we’ve been pressing about the Five Virtues Temple. We’ll return a huge favor to them.“Tell them that they have my thanks for saving my life.“And the Five Virtues Temple will remain South Light’s sacred martial art training ground for as long as I live!“Nobody would be able to challenge their authority!”Lexie York frowned. She secretly gave out a sigh after realizing what Vince was planning to do.“Don’t worry, Vince.“The Five Virtues Temple has always been your loyal shield.“I’ll make them your biggest support, even if I have to beg for that eunuch to show up.”Lexie tenderly looked at the man, as if he was her own child while showing a hint of hesitation.“But remember this. No matter what, don’t be unrealistic.“You can toy with the oth
Harvey York squinted indifferently, without showing too much emotion.“I heard that Grandma York herself used to be quite the killer during her prime,” said Harvey, with a faint smile.“Many people were after her, but they were all piled up into a mountain of corpses…“Did that really happen?“At this point, it’s all old news. The previous lord of the Yorks had issued a gag order many years ago. That’s why all we have are rumors. Nobody knows if it’s the real deal.“That said, Grandma York is quite the formidable woman.“If Vince York manages to force her out by playing victim, Queenie York would have to deal with a lot of pressure.”Harvey chuckled.“That’s nothing to be scared about. We’re not the ones trying to ruin her banquet anyway. We’re upstanding citizens here.“Don’t forget, Leslie Clarke still owes me my Good Citizen Award!“But if Grandma York’s going to take action, we might have to lend a hand to the fourth princess…“I’ll have a pretty big headache if she does
Clack!The door was suddenly kicked open.Harvey York was wearing a warm sweater as he brought in a cup of Black Tea with him.He then casually sat on the other side of the table while squinting at Jason Leo.The moment Harvey showed up, a resentful gaze was showing on Jason’s face.The arrogant look on his face was gone, along with his fighting spirit.He had not slept for the past few days, and his body was constantly trembling.He thought he would be able to endure the harsh environment with his strength and willpower…But since he used his mild hypnosis beforehand, he was not able to last long.Jason got himself into the situation.If he did not use so much of his strength before, he might have been able to last for a little longer.It was a shame that there was no turning back.“What do you want, Harvey?”Jason was on the verge of fainting, but he still managed to speak while his eyes were frantically twitching. He sounded like a dying person at this point.Harvey ca
Jason Leo’s body trembled uncontrollably.He knew full well what choices Harvey York was giving him at this moment.It was either he would kill himself or become Harvey’s servant.Nobody would even think of making a God of War into their own lackey!Jason was filled with unbridled rage at this instant.His remaining dignity and reason told him that he would never be able to stand against Harvey if he kneeled.While he was still trembling, resentment could be seen in his eyes while he pressed on the revolver that was on the table.He did not come all this way to be someone’s servant!He wanted revenge! He still had so many things left to do! If he were to die then and there, he would have accomplished nothing!Everything he did would be for naught!Harvey calmly stared at Jason with a smile on his face.“I do admire your courage, Young Master Leo.“As a man from Country H, you went and became The Empire’s lapdog. Now, you’re all upset with me because of your pride as The Emp
On the next day, early morning, at Victoria Harbor’s Seaside Restaurant.This place was owned by Queenie York and was one of Harvey York’s favorite places to dine in.Harvey dealt with Aurora Parker, a top celebrity who became one of his spies in this very place back then.It would also be natural for Harvey to deal with the fourth princess here.To show her sincerity, the fourth princess booked the entire restaurant ahead of time. Not only were the finest ingredients brought here, she even got a bottle of 1982 Latour all the way from The Empire.Harvey had no intention of holding back. After seeing a table full of delicious food, he waved his utensils and chowed down.The fourth princess did not eat with Harvey. She was calmly holding a goblet while taking a few sips.Her lithe figure was showing in the sunset while a refreshing fragrance could be smelled on her.Her guards were already called off. The arrogant and distant look on her face was completely gone. Only exhaustion
