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
“Other than that, if he gives us all the details and proof needed…”“It’d be considered as sabotage. Then, he’s effectively selling out his higher-ups.“Under these circumstances, it’d be hard for him to gain their trust from then onward.“If we just give a little push, Akio Yashiro and his men from the Shindan Way might even go against the other Five Schools of Martial Arts…“When that happens, we’ll give Akio everything he wants.“Not only are we setting him free, but we’re also going to find a way for Akio to make a strong comeback.“Since the Islanders are using Vince to cause trouble here…“We’ll just send Akio back for the same thing. We’ll see who does it better.“If Lord York has no opinions about this, I really wouldn’t mind letting Akio go.”Of course, there was something that Harvey York did not divulge. If Akio were to cause trouble after he was let go…It would be really easy for Harvey to kill him off anyway.“This plan’s impressive!”Julian York showed a look
“He’s the guy, Elijah! He’s been coming at me this whole time!“Not only did he kill off our friends, the Takei family…“He even got my brother exiled!“He also slapped me in the face!“You need to help me out here!”The man in a black shirt squinted and took a step forward before glaring at Harvey York.“How dare you come at Carol Parker like this, you punk?!“You have guts. I’ll give you that!“Come at me too if you dare!”The man strutted toward Harvey before lighting a thin, long cigar in front of him. He then blew a puff of smoke right at Harvey’s face.“Come on! Come at me! Hit me!“Aren’t you supposed to be impressive?!”Harvey could clearly tell that this person was being used to provoke him.“Stop asking for trouble.“I don’t like taking advantage of children.”“What the f*ck did you just say?!”“Don’t you know who I am?!”Elijah York burst out in anger. His dignity was clearly being challenged.He did not care where Harvey came from. He would surely trample
“Elijah!”Carol Parker was shaken after seeing Elijah York being sent flying. She instantly rushed forward to lift him up.She brought Elijah here so could take her revenge, but she did not expect that things would end up this way.“B*stard!“How dare you hit me?!” yelled Elijah while he stumbled off the ground.He had never been this humiliated in his entire life.Not only did Harvey York slap him in the face, but his pride and dignity were also being tarnished as well.Elijah furiously screamed before picking up the nunchucks from the ground and rushing forward.Slap!Harvey calmly swung the back of his palm across his face once again.Elijah screamed in pain as he was sent flying. His face looked extremely wretched the moment he landed on the ground again.“Young Master York!”Carol’s eyes twitched frantically when she saw what had happened. It was such a horrible sight.Elijah was showing a wretched look as he gritted his teeth.Both sides of his face had a red palm p
The arrow had no apparent glow, but a faint smell of gunpowder could be smelled from it.Harvey York slightly changed his expression before kicking the arrow straight into the fountain at the entrance.A small explosion could be heard. The arrow’s destructive power was obviously weakened in water.If it were not for Harvey’s reflexes, he would have been blown up to smithereens in an instant.Harvey was showing a scornful expression at that moment.Not only was Elijah York carrying hidden weapons all around him, but he also did not care for his surroundings when he shot all those things at Harvey.Innocent bystanders could have been hurt, but he acted as if it did not even matter.Harvey stepped forward and stomped Elijah to the ground before he could raise his hand again.“I can let you off the hook for being stupid enough to be used as someone’s tool to kill me…“But not only are you this vicious at such a young age, but you also don’t care if you hurt the innocents around yo
Harvey glanced at the woman, poker-faced and seemingly devoid of emotion.“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that Elijah was trying to kill me.”The woman puffed up her chest righteously before scoffing coldly at Harvey.“You’re an adult! Why would you split hairs with a child?!”“Where’s your chivalry?!”“Even if he’s in the wrong…”“Even if he did something bad…”“He’s still just a kid! Can’t you forgive him?!”“Why go out of your way to make a big fuss out of things?!”“You’re shameless!”“I’m sure you’ve fought since you were little!”“You’ve caused a great deal of trouble too, I bet!”“Elijah’s an educated man!”“Besides, nobody got hurt in the end! Right?”“Rather, he must be in a lot of shock right now!”“If we’re to blame someone, it’s you!” the woman said with a cold expression.Elijah laughed coldly when he saw someone stand up for him.“Let me go already, Harvey.”“If you don’t, I’ll get my senior to beat you up until your last breath!”Harvey sm
Slap!Harvey leaned down before slapping Elijah in the face.A wail of pain could be heard after the loud slap. Blood splattered all over the ground alongside two of Elijah’s teeth. “Sacred martial art training ground?”“The Yorks of Hong Kong?”“This is the reason you’re acting all high and mighty?”“If that’s the case, then let me tell you something. None of this means anything to me.”“Since you said he’s just a kid, I’ll treat him like one.”“And since you won’t teach your own child, I’ll teach him for you!”Harvey then slapped Elijah on the face again when he was done talking. Elijah was so dazed from the hit that he couldn’t even say a single word or focus his gaze.Julian rushed all the way here after finding out about the incident. He wanted to say something after seeing the chaos brewing before him, but he chose to remain silent in the end.He knew full well how Harvey worked. It would be meaningless for him to go against Harvey.“You b*stard!”As Elijah screamed
After dealing with Jacknife, disrespecting Grandma York, and trampling on Elijah from the second house, and finally getting involved with the Council of Myth…Harvey wondered if he would be met with retribution sooner or later.Grandma York and the second house of the family would stop at nothing to kill him.After reporting the situation to Marcel, Harvey began taking a few people with him whenever he went out to ensure his safety.It had already been a few days since the incident, but nothing happened in the city at all.It seemed as if Harvey had reached his peak, and nobody dared to cross him.Yet whenever something is unusual, there’s usually a bad reason for it.In the end, Harvey didn’t pay too much mind to it.He would occasionally show up at Maria Hospital to have a talk with Akio.After some haggling, Akio finally showed some worthwhile evidence.There was proof of the Islanders being involved with the incident ten years ago.To top it off, they were also involved
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
