It was said that the place was previously an uninhabitable burial ground. After all, the Yorks of Hong Kong was once in a state of ruin.After nearly a hundred years of work, this place was surrounded by tranquility and beautiful scenery. Waterfalls and pavilions could be seen around the place as well.Various architecture styles from Country H were gathered here. It was considered by some people as the direct counterpart of the Imperial Garden and had quite a prodigious reputation.The night view was exceptionally unparalleled throughout Hong Kong.It was a shame that Vince York and Lexie York had their minds preoccupied and had no intention of enjoying such an incredible view. They swiftly walked past many checkpoints without even slowing down.Even the two would need to verify their identities when they arrived inside the Palace of the Yorks, let alone the others.Safe to say that this was the safest place in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.After walking through nine different
Vince couldn’t help but feel joy after seeing what happened.“I didn’t want to ask for your help at first, Grandmother…”“However, Queenie’s been using Fourth Uncle to join forces with The Empire’s fourth princess.”“Not only were they perpetrators of the abandoned villa incident, but they also got the fourth princess to accuse me of abandoning her…”“They hired ghostwriters to slander my name online, too.”“Social media platforms are waiting to get a scoop out of me!”“Queenie’s not letting me explain myself at all. She tarnished our family’s century-old reputation in just a single day!”“I have a way to fix it, but it’ll be too slow.”“I won’t be able to deal with it before your birthday. I couldn't ensure you have a peaceful banquet…”“That’s why I’m here now, to beg for your help.”“Please, Grandmother! Help me get through these trying times!”“I promise, after your birthday banquet…”“I’ll marry whoever you ask me to! I won’t cause any trouble ever again!”“When that
After hearing Grandma York’s words, Lexie and Vince’s expressions changed slightly.They always thought that Harvey and Queenie were the ones creating chaos.Upon further thought, they realized their constant string of failures started immediately after Marcel’s return.On the surface, it appeared as if Marcel had only released Queenie from prison and did nothing else afterwards. In the meantime, Queenie had been taking advantage of Vince constantly.There were also some things Harvey and Queenie did through Marcel’s orders.Lexie couldn’t help but grit her teeth.“I knew it! Harvey couldn’t possibly deal with Jason and the fourth princess all by himself!”“In the first place, that’s impossible!”“But if he has Fourth Brother’s support, then everything makes sense!”Naturally, Lexie knew just how much power Marcel possessed.Vince took a deep breath, and turned to Grandma York.“Grandmother, are you saying…?”Grandma York wanted Vince to take position as the lord of the f
“Lord York.”“Father.”When Lexie and Vince left the Palace of the Yorks, Harvey and Queenie arrived at the seaside villa.Selena was soundly asleep, while Marcel was barbecuing on the beach.Harvey and Queenie could hear a loud hiss from the oysters on the grill. A pleasant smell wafted in the air.Harvey casually grabbed an oyster before slurping it down.“Freshwater oyster from the Island Nations. This is pretty good stuff!” Harvey exclaimed, looking impressed.“The Island Nations aren’t all that good, but their food’s something else alright.”Marcel chuckled at Harvey’s actions.“An elite never underestimates the weak and has an objective opinion about everything.”“Just because you hate a country, doesn’t mean you’re allowed to have prejudice against it. But even if you admire a country, you shouldn’t be flattering it too much either.”“Only through an open view can you accomplish anything.”Harvey smiled at Marcel’s words before shifting his gaze toward Queenie.“Hea
“To be more specific, he’s with the Shindan Way.”Marcel handed a chicken wing to Harvey.“If it were anywhere else, I would’ve asked someone else to do this for me.”“But I know you have a history with the Shindan Way, so it's best I entrust this to you.”“I’ll send the Sentries of York with you. Julian will be leading the group.”“All you need to do is to work with him.”“If you succeed in bringing Rin back, I’ll forgive Julian for his past mistakes.”“Of course, I won’t forget your kindness as well.”Harvey narrowed his eyes before breaking into a warm smile.“If this were anywhere else, maybe I would’ve declined…”“But since it’s the Shindan Way, I’ll make a trip there.”“I told Akio I’d go there myself before he ran off.”“Now that I have the opportunity to go there, I definitely won’t miss it.”“When do you want me to leave?”Marcel smiled before clapping. A black yacht filled with uniformed staff appeared straight from the seas.“As soon as possible.”“Go now. Co
Marcel froze at Queenie’s words.“Are you saying that Harvey might be stronger than Jacknife?” he asked, his voice low.“You forget. He killed the Sword Saint of the Shinkage Way himself. Akio was scared by him as well.”“If he’s not strong, how did he manage to do all that by himself?”Marcel pondered about the situation before laughing.“It’s good if that’s the case!”“If he’s as strong as you say he is and brings Rin back after dealing with the Shindan Way…”“It’ll be good for all of us involved.”“Your grandmother’s a powerful person, but she’s just too confident.”“Even after all these years have passed, she still thinks that she can suppress the entire family with Jacknife alone…”“We’ll let her know that the times have changed…”…Three hours later, at four o’clock in the morning. On a lonely island outside of the Island Nations…This place was located on the southeast coast of the island. It had been private territory since ancient times.Buildings that stood abov
Julian had a cold expression as he stood in front of his men.Right in front of him, one man stood still while crossing his arms and an unflinching poker face.The man was Harvey.Julian’s eyes flashed fearfully at the sight of Harvey’s face.After all, this was the man who banished him straight to Hell.If Marcel didn’t give the Sentries of York another chance, Julian probably wouldn’t get another opportunity to lead his troops again.This was Julian’s chance to rise again.If he accomplished the mission successfully, he believed he would have the right to take position as the lord of the family…Even though the current situation had nothing to do with it.Turning away from Harvey, Julian then set his gaze on the buildings not far away from him.The buildings were extremely close to Harvey and the rest of the sentries; they were less than a mile away.Since Harvey and the others climbed from the back of the mountain, the outer walls were completely useless against them.Ev
If that wasn’t the case, why would Julian even accept this mission under such circumstances?Even so, he still wasn’t able to tell why Harvey came here.He narrowed his eyes at Harvey for a moment before saying quietly, “To be honest with you, Sir York…”“You’re deeply connected to the Yorks of Hong Kong, and you’re even considered to be a relative.”“But what does the family’s inner conflict have anything to do with you?”“Why are you getting yourself involved?”“Are you trying to climb ranks within the family just like everyone’s saying?”“Climb the ranks?”Harvey laughed.“That throne you people yearn for means nothing to me.”“I don’t really care if you believe me or not.”“I got involved only because this affair might affect the safety of Country H’s people as a whole.”“As long as the person sitting at the top can guarantee the country’s safety…”“I don’t care if it’s Vince, Queenie, or you doing it.”“You might not understand the things I’m saying right now…”“But
