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
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
Hearing Harvey's conversation, the beautiful female officer said in disdain, "What? Are you pretending to contact someone from the Braff family? Do you think that's enough to scare the director? Our director is someone important within the family! If you really know the people from the Braff family, why wouldn't he know you?"I'm telling you right now. If you really did call someone from the Braff family, I, Snowe Leo, will eat this phone right in front of everyone!"In the beginning, Garrick was taken aback as well. But after he quickly glanced at the number on the screen, he smiled coldly. "You probably didn't know this, but aside from the number of my family's patriarch, I've saved the number of everyone important in the family. Do you want to trick me using just a random number? You're quite bold!""Really, now?" Harvey said with a smile. "At the very least, you know that you don't have the right to know his number. In that case, I'll help you delete that number. It won't be g
"Ha… I'm the director of the precinct in the Third Ring, and I'm not worth your time?" Garrick was so angry that he was laughing. "You made yourself sound like you're someone very capable. Come on, show me just how capable you are right now!"Garrick immediately grabbed his phone and tossed it at Harvey. "Come on, make a call! If you can find someone who can overpower me, I'll bend my knee right now."The other two officers also looked at Harvey as if they were looking like a fool. "Forget the fact that you're just an ex-live-in son-in-law… Even if you really did become a CEO through your own abilities, what is there to be proud of?" the female officer said with a smirk. In her eyes, Harvey was just a loser. If a man like him wanted to pursue her, he would have already kicked him to the rub.Harvey didn't waste his breath and immediately picked up the phone, giving Eliel Braff a call. Very quickly, the call came through and a stern voice came from the other side. "Who is thi
"Your deduction is quite interesting. Sounds like a detective show, to be honest," Harvey said calmly. "Unfortunately, I have a clear conscience. Why should I admit to a crime I never committed?""Not you?" The female officer slammed the table again. "If you didn't do it, why are you so willing to cooperate with us? You're telling me it isn't because you're feeling guilty? Harvey York, you have to understand that the crime you committed is very serious, especially when the person you killed is from Country A!"If the Embassy sends a specialist to interfere with this investigation, you're going to be in trouble. You better confess when the precinct can still help you. Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can change no matter how much you regret it in the future."Their phones would buzz every once in a while, which meant new information coming in. From the new information, not only was Harvey the live-in son-in-law of the Jeans of Mordu, one of the top ten families, but he was a
"A lawyer?" Garrick scoffed. "Forget about a lawyer, it's pointless even if you find a wizard! I've already read your information. The CEO of Sky Corporation? Maybe in other cities, the CEO of a public company deserves some respect, but don't forget that this is Wolsing, the country's seat of power! There are plenty of CEOs walking around here!"When you're in Wolsing, it doesn't matter who you are, or what kind of special identity you have. Those who commit crimes here will be punished! You won't be given any special treatment!"Garrick then looked at Harvey as if he had an advantage over him. "Confess the crimes you've committed! That way, I can grant you some leeway. Otherwise, you'll suffer a terrible death!"Harvey merely looked at Garrick briefly and said, "You didn't interrogate me, and you didn't show me any evidence. All you do is to tell me to confess. I must say, you're quite tough. But aren't you afraid of accidentally offending the wrong people here in Wolsing, especial
Yvonne frowned slightly when she realized what Garrick meant. "Director, my boss isn't a suspect. He's only here…""Whether he's a suspect or not isn't up to you or me. It's up to the law and the evidence," Garrick said, glaring at Yvonne. His gaze became somewhat sleazy, and he began to scheme how he could use this scenario to throw this beautiful woman into his bed.He continued to say righteously, "Ma'am, I'm warning you. You better not interrupt our investigation. Of course, if you have something to say, you can always lodge a complaint to the office."After that, he waved his hand, and the two officers behind him led Harvey into the interrogation room. Seeing what had happened, Yvonne hesitated a little before sending out a message quickly on her phone.This was something quite serious. If Harvey went in because of this, it would be quite troublesome for the Xavier family as well. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be convenient for the Xaviers to do anything…Meanwhile, Harvey w
