“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
“As for my mother, it’s been a good few years since she attended an event like this because of what happened ten years ago.”“Since the truth of the incident has been uncovered, her sickness is finally cured.”“She'll show up for sure.”Queenie sighed.“But if we look at it from her perspective, she will stop at nothing to keep Vince away from our side since the Islanders were the ones responsible for my brother’s death.”“There’ll be an all-out war today…”Harvey sighed as well. Since Selena could deal with the situation on her own, this meant she had finally let go of what happened ten years ago.As Queenie had mentioned, there would be an all-out war.Queenie was right to grab some food beforehand. There would definitely be no time to eat later on.After finishing the food, the two then grabbed a bottle of soda each and took a big gulp from it.Queenie stared at the laptop for a while before she was reminded of something.“Right! There’s something odd.”“Grandma York wan
“Since that’s the case, then he’ll surely go against us.”“And after losing the third house’s support, Vince will definitely try to keep the second house on his side.”“Even if Elijah does nothing, Vince will get revenge for Elijah.”“He’s trying to get Elijah and the second house on his side, after all.”“Elijah initially wanted to get the family’s underworld forces to work for him.”“He provoked you for Carol.”“In any case, things aren’t going to end just like that. Be careful.”Queenie naturally understood Elijah’s modus operandi, which was why she decided to warn Harvey in advance.Often, enemies who show themselves out in the open are easy to deal with. The same couldn’t be said for the ones who hide in the shadows.“Elijah’s not interested in being the lord?”“He’s willing to support Vince?”Harvey smirked at Queenie’s words.“You don’t really believe that, do you?”“Surely the head house doesn’t.”“If I’m guessing correctly, the second Vince shows any signs of wea
"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
