The smile on Julian’s face froze in an instant. Instinctively, he turned around.“Vince?!” he exclaimed, his voice cracking. Yoana glanced over behind Harvey as well.“Yes, that’s him right there.”“What’s he doing here?”Harvey grinned.“It doesn’t matter. Since you’re planning to take his place…”“Why not do it now?”“Let me see your courage.”“If you tell him he’s not worthy to be the lord of the family…”“I might just consider helping you.”Julian’s courageous expression took a drastic turn. He clenched his teeth. “Welcome, Young Lord York! Please, come here!” He wasted no time being a sycophant.Upon hearing Julian’s words, disdain flitted over Harvey’s face.The former was acting so domineering and determined just a second ago, going about how he would snatch Vincent’s position, and that he was more than able to take control of the family…Yet, Vince’s name had already been etched deeply inside the hearts of the younger generation of the family.Even when Julia
“No, no, no. Don’t say such things!”“As the Young Lord of the Yorks of Hong Kong, it’s natural for you to keep the younger generation of the family in check!”“I was about to report to you about the situation when I’m done cleaning up, anyway!”“I didn’t expect you to be so well-informed…”“How about this? I’ll talk about it with you after reporting to Lord York!”Vince wore a warm smile at Julian’s flattery, as if he was filled with joy.He took a step forward and patted Julian’s shoulder.“Don’t forget, Julian,” he said.“I’m not just your young lord. I’m your older cousin as well.”“It’s not that I’m well-informed. You did a pretty good job keeping your mission a secret, though.”“Why didn’t you tell me about such a dangerous mission beforehand?”“Even if I can’t come with you, I can at least send a few experts to keep you safe.”“Or are you saying that you’ve been hiding from me?”“Are you scared that I’d try to take credit for your work?”“Or is it because you're tr
Harvey laughed.“Why don’t you kneel for me?”“If you do, I’ll consider letting you off the hook.”Everyone tensed up immediately after hearing those words.Julian wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that nothing he could say would be of any help.On the outside, Vince and Harvey seemed quite polite and respectful toward each other…But once Harvey said anything wrong, both sides would be engaged in an all-out war.Ask Harvey to stop provoking Vince?Not a chance!Julian had only been with Harvey for a short amount of time, but he understood clearly.A man like Vince was nothing in Harvey’s eyes.If things were to continue this way, the two would surely fight each other to the death.Quinton, who was standing in the back of the crowd, was at a loss. He didn’t think Harvey would still try to pressure Vince when Vince was right there.In both Hong Kong and Las Vegas, only Harvey had the guts to talk to Vince so rudely.“Ahahaha!”“Is th
“Former Young Lord, you say?”“Mind our own business?”Vince had a faint smile when he looked at Harvey.“Oh, Sir York! You’re talking as if you’re unwilling to have a chat with me.”“You went all the way to the Island Nations with Julian and found the culprit behind what happened to Fourth Uncle’s son ten years ago…”“You even dealt with Jason, as well as the crises he caused to both Hong Kong and Las Vegas because of his comeback.”“Simply put, not only did you already do so much to the place already…”“But every single thing you’ve done is also for the benefit of the country and the people as a whole!”“Thus, I decided to list you as an important guest for my social circle.”“Nobody will even dare make things difficult for you.”“As long as you leave within twenty-four hours…”Vince glanced at his Patek Philippe watch and smiled again.“Oh, silly me! You only have twelve hours left now…”“If you leave this place within twelve hours and never come back, I’ll promise you
Harvey shrugged, nonchalant. “This drink’s at least a few hundred dollars. I can’t just throw it away now, can I?”“What? This isn’t about champagne!”Julian was on the verge of coughing up blood.“I just got word!”“Grandma York already gave the order to force you out of here last night! You’ll never be able to come back!”“There’s still twelve hours before the time limit!”“If you don’t get out of here by then…”Julian’s face was horrible.Harvey’s curiosity was piqued.“What would happen?”“Jacknife!”“If you don’t get out of here by then, Jacknife—Grandma York’s best subordinate, rumored to be way more powerful than Lord York—will come for you!”“If you don’t get out of here, someone else will send you!”“To your death, of course…!”“Jacknife?”Harvey chuckled before patting Julian on his shoulder.“Send a word in my stead.”“Tell Jacknife to hurry up if he’s planning to assassinate me.”“I have other things to tend to. I don’t have all day.”…Vince was insid
Right after Vince left, Harvey got into Yoana’s convoy, planning to find a place to take a rest while dealing with the incident.As soon as the engines started, Julian came running. He tapped the window on Harvey’s side.“My father’s looking for you, Sir York,” he said.“What for?”Harvey frowned.He had met Noah before…But it was clear both men harbor a great dislike for each other.Harvey didn’t think there was a need for them to meet up.“My father said he wanted to thank you for what happened last night.”“Also, he’s asking if there’s anything you need help with.”“If there’s a need, he’ll do his best.”“I do hope that you go see him…”Julian appeared confused by his own words. He himself didn’t expect his father to be so polite toward Harvey.There was a curious look on Harvey’s face as he listened to Julian.He waved his hand to signal Yoana and the others to leave first. Then, he entered Julian’s car.…Half an hour later…The convoy arrived at a villa located
Harvey spoke calmly, the faint smile on his face ever present.Noah froze momentarily before exploding with amused laughter. “Impressive! Very impressive!”“I forgot! Even I suffered quite a big loss in your hands!”“If Vince thinks he can take you down just by getting someone stronger on his side…”“Then he must be underestimating you quite a bit.”“With you around, it’ll be easy for Queenie to climb the ranks.”“He’s daydreaming if he wants you out of this place so easily.” Noah then poured Harvey some tea, lost in awe and admiration.Harvey smiled.“You’re too kind. Since Vince has Grandma York to support him…”“I’ll have to pay my respects as well.”“That said, I’ll have to think of a way to deal with her.”“Hahaha! I’m sure you’re more than capable of that.”Noah narrowed his eyes meaningfully.“Just deal with them the way you did to me last time.”“I’m looking forward to your victory. I’ll be supporting you from behind the scenes!”Harvey stared at Noah.“Ther
At Harvey’s words, Noah’s face darkened instantly.“You must be joking, Sir York,” he replied after a forced laugh.“A man like me won’t even think that far ahead!”“I already told Julian to stop entertaining such thoughts after finding out that Fourth Brother is supporting Queenie.”“I didn't have any other intentions when I called you here today.”“I’m only here to wish for your smooth sailing in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.”“After all, the third house is siding with Fourth Brother at this point.”“Am I wrong?”Harvey stood up and flicked the tea cup in his hand.A loud clang resonated, and a well-hidden gun barrel on the roof of the other building appeared instantly after.Someone was controlling the gun remotely using high-tech equipment.Noah’s expression changed frantically when he realized what had just happened.There was no hiding from Harvey at all!Harvey smiled softly at Noah before going up to pat the latter on the shoulder.“No one here is stupid, Third Lo
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
