“I already helped you deal with a spy from the Island Nations,” said Harvey York calmly.“It’s perfectly fine if you don’t thank me…“But, here you are nagging at me for some reason.“You really think that I wouldn’t dare kill you off?”“When did an outsider get the right to meddle in our family’s business, Harvey?!” exclaimed Manager York coldly.“Have you thought of the consequences of getting yourself involved?!“Have you?!“Kneel, or I’ll mobilize my troops just to deal with you!“And when I’m done with you, you’ll die a graveless death!”Manager York threateningly took out his phone, ready to dial a specific number.“Since when did a servant get the right to show off on behalf of the Yorks of Hong Kong?”A calm yet dignified voice could be heard.When everyone turned around, Marcel York was seen wearing a suit as he walked over from the mountain road, with his arms crossed behind him.At this moment, he did not bring anybody with him, as if he was just casually stroll
Boom!A violent aura instantly burst out as Marcel York took a step forward.Scattered rocks and sand were flying all over the place.Everyone could not help but squint.The men wearing green shirts clenched their chests as they took a step back. Blood was suddenly gushing out of their mouths without any warning.Almost simultaneously, Manager York’s legs gave in before he dropped his knees to the ground.It was not that he wanted to kneel. Marcel’s aura was just too terrifying. It felt like mountains crushing him from above. There was no way for him to hold himself up at that moment.Marcel was strong! Too strong!Jacknife was already pretty impressive himself…But the aura of the mysterious Lord York had him completely outmatched!Manager York’s face lost all color instantly when cold sweats dripped down his back.Harvey curiously glanced at Marcel.He knew that Marcel was not just any ordinary man, but he still managed to underestimate him.Safe to say that all uppercla
The afternoon after Jacknife was dealt with…Harvey York showed up at Maria Hospital.This was Hong Kong’s most renowned private hospital that was also under the Yorks of Hong Kong.Other than advanced technology and a group of skillful medical staff, the most important part was that the family’s forces were all stationed here, making it easy to manage.The Sentries of York were in charge of managing the place, and Julian York was naturally the leader.Akio Yashiro had been unconscious since he was brought to Hong Kong.Julian intentionally put Akio on the top floor and placed many of his men there. Not a single fly would be able to get inside or out of the place.As soon as Harvey stepped inside the hospital, he could clearly feel a lot of eyes glaring at him from all directions.The gazes were filled with unspeakable hostility and resentment.Without even figuring out the people glaring at him, he could distinctly tell that those were the assassins from the Island Nations.
“You must be kidding, Sir York.“We don’t even know who Akio Yashiro’s master is.“Even if we do, since he’s the previous sovereign, surely he’s a God of War and also a Sword Saint, to say the least, right?“How did you even manage to get a hold of a person like that in just a single day?“You weren’t even outside of Hong Kong! You didn’t leave at all!”“I didn’t look for him. He came for me, so I took care of him.“You also know him.“He’s Jacknife, the man who hid behind Grandma York for many years now.”Julian York froze after hearing that name before he showed utter disbelief.Jacknife was one of Grandma York’s most trusted subordinates. He had dealt with countless people who defied Grandma York publicly and secretly.He was also one of Vince York’s most loyal supporters and was the main source of power for his troops.But, he was also the former sovereign of the Shindan Way…Even Julian, who had a pretty open mind, could not believe what he had just heard.“Why would
Harvey York chuckled and replied calmly, “Firstly, we have to make sure that you have no way out.“You’ll only speak when you know it’s best for you anyway.”Akio Yashiro’s pupils shrunk after hearing Harvey’s words.“I don’t understand what you mean by that,” he said before showing a faint smile.“It’s nothing, really.”Harvey smiled back.“I think I should tell you something, though.“I killed a person today.“His name’s Jacknife.”Akio furiously sat up after hearing that name.But because of his restraints, his body was thrown back to his bed.After being in shock for a moment, Akio sighed.“I wouldn’t believe it if anyone else were to tell me that.“But since it’s you, I do believe you.“How did my master expose himself?”“He used his Zephyr Slash after realizing he couldn’t beat me,” replied Harvey calmly.Akio bitterly chuckled.“Master hid himself within the Yorks of Hong Kong for twenty years, honing his skills to hide his Shindan Way roots…“But in the end, i
A stern gaze was showing in Harvey York’s eyes.“Were you the one who established the organization?”“Yes, and no.”Akio Yashiro recollected his memories slowly.“Misfortune was established during the Island Nations’ Great Recession.“The higher-ups started a war and tried to benefit from Country H’s battlefield.“But, the times were different then. Country H had risen exponentially. The country wasn’t as flourishing as it is now, but it also wasn’t a country that the Island Nations could just take advantage of.“The higher-ups decided to deal with some of Country H’s top people if they wanted to use force against Country H.“From the royal court, the business industry, wealthy families, and scientific communities…“Simply put, every single outstanding person in those fields was our target.“The establishment of Misfortune was to deal with those people through ‘accidents’, ruining Country H’s political and economic status in the process.“The members of the organization cons
“Of course, I didn’t do too much preparation for a newborn baby. A simple car accident was all I needed.“The plan was a success. The baby died just like that.“This still haunts me to this very day.“I don’t have much integrity, but killing an infant crossed my line.“From that day onward, I disbanded Misfortune and started using my old name again.”“Did your master tell you why he decided to do that?” asked Harvey York.“He did.”Akio Yashiro revealed a groundbreaking statement.“He wanted this to happen.“That way, the head house would be the scapegoats of the incident. The family would be in utter chaos.”Harvey froze. He was almost sure that the head house was the one behind the entire incident.The people who would benefit the most from the death of Marcel York’s son was none other than Vince York, the young lord who belonged in the head house.But Akio revealed that Jacknife was the one who asked for the assassination himself…“Do you have any proof?” asked Harvey a
An hour later, Harvey York walked out of the room with a stern look.Julian York, trailing behind him, made sure that the people around him were his own before he showed a horrible look.“Do you think Akio Yashiro’s saying the truth, Sir York?“Was it really Jacknife who orchestrated the whole thing ten years ago?”Harvey gave a thought about the situation.“He should be telling the truth. After all, he’s in our hands now. His biggest trump card’s dead anyway.“If he wants to live, then he better cooperate with me. There’s no point in lying under these circumstances.“He’ll have nothing to gain out of it anyway.”Julian nodded before he frowned.“Then, what about Vince?“Are the Islanders really behind the rise of the head house?“If word gets out about this, the Yorks of Hong Kong would be in utter chaos!”“That doesn’t matter.“If this is true, we must deal with it promptly. We can’t allow Vince to take the position as the new lord no matter what.“If not, Hong Kong and
