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
Pffft, pffft, pffft!Muffled sounds could be occasionally heard in the buildings.The elites of the Shindan Way who realized that something was wrong were instantly killed the moment they snapped back to their senses.The Shindan Way had no way to prevent this, since the Yorks of Hong Kong didn’t even prepare for such a mission in the first place.After dealing with the people outside, Harvey and the others were already walking toward the center of the island where the ancient buildings were gathered.An ancient stone tablet with texts of the Island Nations was located right ahead.Two swordsmen sitting cross-legged in front of the tablet were suddenly woken up.“Who are you?!”“What’s the password?!”The two fierce swordsmen stood up instinctively, their faces fierce.Before they could even react, Harvey had already taken a step forward and swung his palm.A loud slap could be heard, and the swordsmen were instantly sent flying. When they landed back on the ground again, th
“Is Akio here?” Harvey asked, his tone calm.“If he is, get his *ss out of here right now.”“How dare you call out the master’s name as you please?!”The robed man’s face changed once he took a good look at Harvey.“You’re Harvey York?!”“Go! Kill him now!”The man gave an order immediately upon recognizing Harvey.A shame it was just too late.Harvey shook his body slightly before pouncing forward.Eight Kings of Arms wailed in pain; they weren’t even able to pull their swords out before they were sent flying. Their orifices were bleeding profusely when they landed on the ground again, all composure lost.The robed man’s expression changed into horror. He tried to get away, but he was just too slow.Harvey appeared right in front of him, and swung the back of his palm across his face.The sound of a loud clap rang, and the man slammed right into the ground before losing consciousness in an instant.Julian’s face was grim upon seeing what had happened. Before he could say
