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
Vince York’s appearance was not some hidden secret. Everyone could tell that it was him in the picture.After realizing that Vince was the scumbag who abandoned the fourth princess, everyone was shocked.Ever since ancient times, princesses have been paired with princes! This is just natural!The fourth princess instantly caught everyone’s attention.“Since everyone knows who this man is, it’ll be easier for me to explain!” she exclaimed.“I am here to take responsibility for what happened at the abandoned villa today!“I planned for everything just to deal with Vince!“I wanted to drag this scumbag down with me!“And yet, he still pretends all this has nothing to do with me!“I won’t let him get away with this scot-free!“Even if my reputation’s completely tarnished, I’ll make sure he suffers with me!“I’m telling you right now, Vince…“Since you dared to abandon me, I’ll assassinate you as many times as I want!“Just you wait!“Go!”The fourth princess turned around an
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"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
