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
The night view of Victoria Harbor was the most charming at ten o’clock at night.Lovers would walk through the streets and the alleys to witness the city’s ebb and flow.All kinds of gossip were spreading from high-class nightclubs and restaurants.Someone was trying to ruin Grandma York’s birthday banquet!The young lord risked everything to keep her safe, but as a result, sustained heavy injuries. At this point, Maria Hospital had already sent out three critical notices.What a kind man!What a touching story indeed!If the gossip were to keep spreading, Grandma York would probably feel horrible if she did not get Vince York to become the new lord of the family.Right when everyone was talking about the situation, the curtains of the plaza were suddenly pulled open.A group of well-dressed knights was seen walking toward the recently built stage.The tourists thought that there was a show coming up.“What big day is this?! Why is there a show coming up?!”“Is this a tour
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
