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
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
It was obvious Kyros had mastered the way to threaten someone using the people close to them. Or perhaps, it was easier to say that few people could escape the laws of what he had said. Few people could be an island in this world.In short, Kyros had never treated Harvey as someone he had to take seriously even in his subconscious. He was from the Wrights of Wolsing, the leading family of the top ten families.Blaine, Hector, Dan, and the other scions within their ranks might make it worth his time, but Harvey was definitely not one of them."Oh, you're offering me a lesson," Harvey chuckled as he heard his words."I'm not giving you a lesson. I'm simply telling you that there are rules in this world that you can't escape no matter what," Kyros said sincerely. "For example, it might make you feel good to hit my head until it's bleeding, but now that you've calmed down, don't you feel any regret about it? Didn't you feel lucky that I'm still alive? Otherwise, how do you think this w
"These two titles might be enough to scare countless others to submission," Kyros said with a smirk. He then lit up a long cigar and puffed out a smoke ring. "But to us Wrights of Wolsing, that's pointless…"Harvey calmly said, "So that won't work, then?"Kyros smirked. "For the time being, yes. Maybe you can show us some other things, see if they can scare me too…""I think this should be able to scare you." Harvey couldn't be bothered with continuing this conversation. He grabbed a glass ashtray and then slammed it on Kyros' head.There was a bang, and the ashtray shattered as blood sprayed.After what Harvey had done, the arrogant Kyros was instantly in a bad state. Blood was dripping from his forehead, making his face look brutal."What?!" Royce looked at Harvey in disbelief as his mouth opened wide, as if he didn't know how to react. Kyros' companions and his bodyguards were all similarly stunned. No one expected Harvey to attack when the negotiation went sideways.It wasn'
"If you ask me, I don't mind making concessions. If you can call one of the direct descendants from the Jean family to come over and offer an apology, I can consider this matter over. Otherwise, just the Jean family's reputation alone isn't enough. But even then, can the Ninth Branch ask any of them here?" Kyros' face was filled with contempt.It was true that being one of the top ten families was very impressive, but the difference in status between a direct descendent and a descendent from a branch family was quite wide. Someone from the ninth branch of the Jeans of Mordu wanted to force someone from the direct branch of the Wrights of Wolsing to back down?They must be joking.Xynthia wasn't sure what to say at this time, as she had run out of words.At this time, Harvey interjected calmly, "You know what's really going on when it comes to who's being right and wrong. Since Xynthia wants to settle this peacefully, I'm willing to take that route as well. But looking at how fo
Kyros' words carried a hint of laziness and brazenness. It was as if the entire Wolsing had already been crushed under the Wrights' heels. It was as if no one would doubt their strength.After he said that, the man called Raiden revealed a cruel smile and waved his hand. All the other men and women, clad in exotic outfits, moved out of the way, each with a gun in hand. They immediately locked down the entire restaurant. Some of them even calmly revealed their permits and showed them to everyone.In a place like Wolsing, it was almost impossible for someone to possess any firearm legitimately. That alone was enough to explain a lot of things."You're scared now, aren't you?" Royce said coldly as he dialed another number. Another group of security guards rushed in and immediately blocked all the exits. It was clear they weren't going to stop until someone was dead.This could explain a lot of things indeed.However, Harvey didn't think too much about this and simply smiled. Meanwh
When Royce saw the change in Xynthia's expression, he became even more pleased. He quickly explained everything that had just happened. Of course, he had changed certain details during his explanation, turning himself into an innocent victim. Meanwhile, Harvey and Xynthia became a despicable couple who did whatever they wanted."How shameless can you get, Royce?!" Xynthia couldn't help but yell when she heard how Royce changed the facts. "My mom did take your money, but I already promised that I'll give you back the money! But not only did you take away my phone, you didn't even let me leave. You're even going to force myself on you. Don't you think that what you're doing is especially shameless?"Royce's expression didn't even change as he said, "Shameless? It's true I have a thing for money and beautiful women, but I have my own rules. I never force anyone. Every woman that became mine did so out of their own volition. Everyone in Country A knows this!"Royce looked at Kyros and
Electric sparks surrounded the head of the war hammer, which exuded a charred stench. It was flying just like the legendary Mjolnir, a powerful aura surrounding it.Tyson's expression changed as he immediately moved and blocked in front of Harvey. He strikes at the hammer with both hands holding its hilt with all his might.Clang!There was a loud clang as the war hammer and sword struck each other. Tyson swayed for a moment, and blood trickled down from the edge of his lips.His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he had an epiphany. He once again stepped forward and pounced ahead, and the sword in his hand slashed downward.Bang!This time, there was a large bang—Tyson's attack struck the man's armor. The man shook, and he was blown away. He slammed into the restaurant's glass—it started to crack immediately, looking like a spiderweb, terrifying everyone who watched.At the same time, Harvey turned and looked at the man in the armor. His face was quite handsome, and the muscles
Harvey ignored the arrogant Royce and immediately took Xynthia's hand, attempting to turn and leave. Though he wanted to floor Royce and grind that scumbag's face against the floor, he decided to end everything here. Considering that Xynthia was still present, he was worried it might scare her.But when Royce saw Harvey taking Xynthia and heading to the exit, he thought Harvey was scared. He scoffed coldly and waved his hand; without wasting another breath, he ordered, "Get him!"The foreign bodyguards didn't even waste any more time and obeyed his command, roaring as they charged toward Harvey. Electric sparks appeared around them as their muscles turned green, and steel claws emerged from their fists. It was obvious now that they weren't normal people, but rather mutants from Country A.Many were stunned when they saw this scene and grew pale, and instinctively stepped backward to avoid them.The mutants hadn't even reached Harvey when Tyson, who had been standing aside quietly
