Even though Julian had already made sure that Vince was the culprit behind the news headline through his sources…In his heart, he still clung to a faint hope.He still thought of Vince as a prominent figure with an open mind. Surely Vince wouldn’t resort to something this petty!Although Vince was most likely the person who did this, Julian still hoped that Vince would deny the claim.But Vince, who was being glared at so fiercely by Julian, shrugged and casually threw the laptop on the table.“That’s right. I did this.”“I was the one who told Hong Kong Daily News everything, details and all.”“Even the manuscript and title were reviewed by me.”“Oh, and let me tell you another thing. I bought out all the papers for today. All of Hong Kong knows about this by now.”“But it’s only natural. There’s no need to hide the truth now, is there?”Seeing Vince’s righteous smile, a hint of disdain flashed in Julian’s eyes.“Why are you doing this, Vince?” Julian asked coldly.“What
A prideful smile hung on Vince’s lips. He looked as if he was doing the right thing.Julian wanted nothing more than to slap Vince in the face, but he managed to hold himself back.Ellis chuckled at them from behind.“Let me give you another piece of information, Julian.”“Just now, the Five Royal Gates and the remaining Five Schools of Martial Arts have already gathered in Kyoto to hold an oath-taking rally in the royal palace.”“They’re going to seek out those who are involved in the Shindan Way’s incident. This time, they’re not going to hold back!”“This time, Young Lord York’s plans saved your life!”“You better thank him properly! You would’ve been dead if it weren’t for him.”“Even worse, the Yorks of Hong Kong would be chased down by the Islanders!”“Young Lord York had to clean up after your damn mess! He did so much for you…”“Yet here you are, questioning him.”“We’re disappointed in you, Julian!”Upon seeing everyone’s smug self-righteousness, Julian took a deep
“Besides, it’s not like Young Lord York slandered you or anything. All he did was tell the truth. It’s for your own good, you know.”“Capturing Akio is an immense achievement, yes.”“But only Harvey would be able to do such a thing.”“If you get exposed for stealing someone else’s credit, you’ll be in deep trouble!”“You’ll risk the Islanders taking revenge against you and be scorned by the people!”“Don’t you think it’s dangerous?”“Young Lord York is only covering for you since you’re still young, Julian. There are still some things that you can’t handle on your own.”“Don’t think that he’s trying to keep you down here.”“This is all for your sake!”Everyone looked at Julian with haughty righteousness, as though they were in the right.By this point, they had already tied Julian down.Before Queenie showed up, some of these people might’ve had other motives.But after she showed up, she gained complete control over Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Aside from working under Vince,
Hong Kong, in the garden villa.Harvey York and the others were having breakfast together.After looking at the laptop, something piqued Harvey’s interest.“I don’t know if I should be asking this question or not, Lord York…“But, is Vince York braindead or something?“Why did the family even choose him to be the young lord in the first place?“Is the family trying to get themselves killed or what?”After looking at the news, without even verifying, Harvey could basically determine that Vince was the mastermind behind it.The only person who would describe such a story and push Harvey to the limelight and challenge the fragile Islanders was none other than Vince.He thought that the Islanders would use the opportunity to pursue Harvey while also ruining Julian York’s chance at climbing ranks. He could even sell the Islanders a pretty big favor because of this.This was three birds with one stone! An impressive tactic, to say the least.Marcel York let out a huge sigh after r
After sensing the sincerity in Selena Judd’s words, Harvey York showed a warm smile.“Don’t worry, Lady Judd.“The Shindan Way’s full of tricks, but I can handle it.“I already dealt with two Sword Saints. I’m sure I can handle the rest of them.“I don’t even mind going to Kyoto if they decide to provoke me again.“It’ll be quite the spectacle.”“Why are you treating him like he’s your own child, Mother?” exclaimed Queenie York.“I’m obviously in more danger right now!”Selena merely smiled.“I’m not worried about you even one bit! The Lord’s Guardians are constantly watching your back anyway.“If you’re still getting into trouble after that, I’ll have to question your father’s authority as the lord of the family.”Marcel York clapped his hands as he chuckled.“Alright. Since I asked Harvey to deal with the Islanders, that means that I’m convinced of his strength.“Unless they throw away their dignity and get the rest of those old fools here…“Harvey will be perfectly saf
While Marcel York and Selena Judd were admiring their potential future son-in-law, Harvey York quickly slipped away.He could run for the time being, but there was no escaping from the two.For his own safety, he had to stay in the garden villa for the next couple of days.The next day, early in the morning, the air outside felt refreshing after the rain last night.While taking a short walk, Harvey bumped into Queenie York, who was getting ready for her morning exercise. He then got on her four-wheeled scooter before they arrived at a private golf course not too far behind the garden villa.Queenie was wearing her golf shirt with a short skirt, along with sunglasses and knee socks, making her seem extremely attractive.When she brought Harvey to the golf course, a breath of fresh air blew right past them.Harvey picked up a golf club with a faint smile on his face.“I’m already in the front lines at this point, yet you’re still bringing me here for golf? Aren’t you afraid of g
Clap clap clap!“As expected from an expert like you, Sir York.“No wonder you’d dare defy Grandma York herself.“I just don’t know if you’re actually a formidable young man or just plain stupid.”A derisive tone could be heard.A few people were seen walking out of the forest.Those people were all wearing green long sleeve shirts while showing expressions as cold as ice.A skinny old man was standing in the very middle.The man had a pallid and clean-shaven face. He was playing with his fidget walnuts as he was squinting at Harvey, full of disdain.An arrogant and dominant aura could be clearly felt on him!“Manager York?!”Queenie’s expression changed slightly after seeing the man.“Who?” asked Harvey. He did not expect someone in Hong Kong would still dare act this domineering before him.That was why this person piqued his interest.A frown could be seen on Queenie’s beautiful face.“This is the servant of the previous lord of the family. He’s been serving under him
“You b*stard!“How dare you speak to Manager York like that?!”A man in a green shirt walked forward with a cold smirk on his face.“I’ll smack your mouth wide open!“I’m not worthy, you say?”Manager York took a step forward and calmly waved his hand, signaling his men to step back.Then, he crossed his arms as he glared at Harvey York.“I’m the manager of the Yorks of Hong Kong,” said Manager York slowly.“I’m the previous lord and Grandma York’s most trusted subordinate!”Harvey let out a chuckle. “I didn’t expect a mere servant could be this arrogant…” said Harvey, smiling warmly.“Though, I do want to ask!“What did I do for you to demand me to kneel?”Queenie York wanted to say something after seeing Harvey go against Manager York like that, but she immediately gave up after seeing his attitude…She understood her brother very well.Harvey was miffed.“What did you do?“Don’t you understand?”Manager York furiously stomped on the ground!Cracks were forming al
