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
“Number three, I’ll give you everyone back.“If you require more men and weapons, I’ll give them all to you.“But, I want you to have a fierce fight against Vince York before you leave this place.“After all, we can’t go easy on a man who abandoned you, can we?”After keeping quiet for a while, the fourth princess quietly replied, “It’s not that I won’t accept your condition, Sir York.“I know how you work.“Since you’re going to hand Jason Leo back to me willingly, that means that you already have him under control.“This man’s half-dead by now…“Under these circumstances, I’ll have no chance against Vince. No matter how many men and guns you’re willing to give me.”“Ask me another thing.”The fourth princess’s domineering attitude was completely gone as she considered her pros and cons.Harvey smiled.“Not bad. I like your attitude.“I don’t like that you declined my condition, but I can tell that you’re sincere.“Then, I’ll ask something else of you.“I want you to fi
"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
