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
Elijah strutted toward Harvey with a prideful grin.“What? Are you going to break my other arm after ramming into my damn car?!”“Come on! Try it!”“I bet you’re just some f*cking coward!”Elijah tried to grab Harvey’s hand as he spoke.Harvey instinctively waved his hand before grabbing Elijah’s other arm.“Piss off. Don’t look for trouble.”“That’s exactly what I’m trying to do!”Elijah laughed coldly. Without warning, he slammed his body to the ground. He then gave himself a few slaps on the face, causing blood to seep out of his orifices.“How dare you?!” he screamed loudly after he was done.“You have the audacity to lay a hand on me?!”“I’m from the Yorks of Hong Kong!”“Save me!”“Everyone! Please get justice for me!”Elijah used all his might to scream, attracting quite a lot of guests’ attention.Queenie couldn’t help but frown after seeing what had happened. She knew Elijah was going to be hard to deal with, but she didn’t think he could be this shameless.He
Harvey remained emotionless even as people began pointing fingers at him. He was fully prepared to slap Elijah in the face and end it there.Right at this moment, a faint voice could be heard.“Excuse me! Excuse me!”A few people walked out from the crowd, smiling. Fabian, who Harvey didn’t see for a while, suddenly showed up.Aside from him, his children were also there, following closely behind him.Jax, Denver, and the others looked a bit awkward, but they still bowed respectfully at Harvey.Zina was smiling from ear to ear, about to take Harvey’s arm.“What’s going on here, Sir York?”Fabian saw what was happening and basically understood the situation. Being the sly man he was, he pretended to be confused.“Just in time, King of Gambling! You need to help me!”Elijah stood back up with a righteous look before Harvey could even speak.“Harvey’s car rammed into mine! After that, he beat me up!”“He doesn’t even respect me!”“He doesn’t care about Grandma York, either!”
“Let me tell you something, Fabian. Do me justice if you have the balls! If you don’t, then stop yapping and get out of here!”“That b*stard broke my arm a few days ago!”“He went further by slapping me in the face just now! I won’t let him go for this, no matter what!”“You may be the King of Gambling, but you’re still a servant for the Yorks of Hong Kong!”“Don’t you forget! The top families of Hong Kong mean absolutely nothing to us!”“We can make you the King of Beggars in a single day if we want to!”“Now get the f*ck out of here!”Jax and the rest had awful expressions when they heard Elijah’s rude insults toward Fabian and his family.They were fully prepared to take action and retaliate.However, Fabian smiled at them and calmly waved them off.He narrowed his eyes at Elijah. His smile was now strained. “Indeed, the Yorks of Hong Kong are the masters of Hong Kong and Las Vegasd. Us top rated families rely on them to survive.”“Of course the Hamiltons aren’t worthy
Fabian was calm and composed as he revealed the truth.Elijah was clearly trying to frame Harvey. There was solid proof for that, too.Under these circumstances, no matter how biased and unreasonable Grandma York was, it was impossible for her to not know how to differentiate right from wrong.If that was the case, then the birthday banquet would’ve been a big joke.The people who were watching the show came to their senses. After getting a closer look, they realized what Elijah was actually doing.No wonder Harvey had been calm the entire time. He had figured out a way to deal with the situation.“Fine! Thanks for your kind words, Fabian! If the Yorks of Hong Kong won’t pay you back for this, the Council of Myth surely will!”Elijah gnashed his teeth in anger, resentment clouding his eyes.He touched his own face before pointing furiously at Harvey.“For Fabian’s sake, I’ll let you off the hook today, you b*stard!”He then turned around and went back inside his car.“We’re
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
