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
Harvey York calmly looked at Manager York and the others before he said, “I might have the same surname, but that doesn’t mean I’m a part of you people.“Your higher-ups mean nothing to me.“As for Grandma York…“Her words are absolute to you…“But, they don’t mean sh*t to me.“If you want to play pretend, just do it within the family.“Stop embarrassing yourself in public!”“Ignorant kid!” a man in a green shirt yelled while pointing at Harvey.“How dare you insult Grandma York?!“You’re finished!“God can’t save you now!“I’ll break your f*cking limbs!“I’ll make you understand what happens when you defy Grandma York!“You…”Slap!Before the man could even finish his words, Harvey already took a step forward and sent him flying off with a slap.Everyone went dead silent after seeing such a horrifying sight.The stewards under Manager York’s command had immense statuses in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas…They represented the authority of the Yorks of Hong Kong and the
Harvey York showed a calm look on his face while he spoke in a playful tone.Then, he brought out some tissues and started wiping his hands arrogantly.Manager York’s eyes were frantically twitching at this very moment.When he finally came to his senses, he furiously stomped his feet to the ground and yelled, “How dare you?!“Harvey York!“You arrogant b*stard!“You have the guts to hit the stewards of the family?!“These are Grandma York’s men here!“Do you even care about the Yorks of Hong Kong?!“Does Grandma York even matter to you?!”Harvey merely let out a chuckle.“Are you blind?“Didn’t you see them come at me first?“Disrespecting superiors is a sin for the Yorks of Hong Kong!“As the lord’s eminent guest, my status is absolute!“You can’t even figure that out as the manager of the family, and yet you’re here rambling to me about rules?”His gaze was as cold as ice then.“Or are you saying that you made up all those rules?“When it’s good for you, you’ll tal
“If it weren’t for Dean Cobb himself, what could you even do against Miyata Shinosuke?!“If it weren’t for the Sentries of York, what could you even do against Akio Yashiro?!“You thought you were strong, but you only got lucky!“You don’t seem to know the true extent of my power either!“And yet you dare challenge me?!“Didn’t you know that I was trained by Andy York himself?!“You think I’m just an old man showing off with these people here?“You’re wrong!“Dead wrong!”Manager York took a step forward before releasing his aura.A gust of wind blew all over the place, picking up countless fallen leaves in the process. Serious looks could be seen on everyone’s faces when they saw the sight.They could clearly feel just how strong Manager York was.“I’m giving you one last chance, Harvey York!“Kneel!“Accept your punishment!“Grovel in front of Grandma York and plead guilty!“When you’re done, get your *ss out of Hong Kong and never come back!“If you don’t, I’ll brea
Harvey York completely ignored the man while curiously looking at the mountain path.Right as Manager York passed out, a Toyota Century, that had been parked there for some time, had its rear door opened all of a sudden.A petite skinny old man could be seen coming out of the car.His hair was casually flowing behind him when he wore a discolored robe.He was emotionless as he steadily trod forward.“Master Jacknife!”The men in green shirts instantly slammed their knees on the ground after seeing the old man.He was Grandma York’s best expert, after all.‘Jacknife!’Harvey took a good look at the man while his interest piqued.Legends said that Jacknife was a God of War himself. Judging from the man’s attitude, he did seem quite terrifying already.Jacknife’s gaze locked onto Harvey when he slowly walked closer without a change in expression. It was as if he was just taking a stroll outside.Queenie York, who was standing behind Harvey, instinctively stepped in front while
“Excuse me.”Harvey York smiled before we casually picked up a sword on the ground.“Jacknife, right?“My knees are a little stiff. I can’t kneel like this.“And I don’t think I’m an ant either.“So, why don’t I send you off instead?”“Send me off?”A playful look was showing on Jacknife’s face.“I have to admit. This is my first time seeing someone this arrogant in front of me after so many years.“Anyway, it’s only natural. After all, you don’t even care about Grandma York in the first place.Jacknife then slowly pulled out the sword on his waist.“Three minutes.“Judging from your strength, three minutes should be enough for me to deal with you.“When I’m done with you…“I’ll have to ask for Grandma York’s forgiveness.“After all, you lived for another twelve hours.“This is my fault!”“Three minutes? That’s too long.Harvey chuckled.“Make it one.“I’ll have my morning tea after that.”“You ignorant fool!”Jacknife’s expression was as cold as ice after hearing
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"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
