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
Harvey opened the gift box instantly. There was supposed to be a framed calligraphy painting inside.Much to his shock, there was an old sword hiding behind the painting.Harvey froze when he laid eyes on the sword.“The Head Coach’s sword?”“Wasn’t this stolen?”“Why did it show up here?”When the Three Seasons Hotel was holding an auction, Murphy and the others used a lot of money to win this specific item.After that, it’s said that the sword got stolen after they left. Why did it show up here?Fabian’s face darkened in an instant.“We’ve been tricked, Sir York!”“Elijah didn’t put up the show just to get people to pity him! He was trying to steer our attention away so he could frame us for this!”“And since this is the Head Coach’s sword, it’s an extremely symbolic relic!”“After it was stolen, there were no leads regarding its whereabouts!”“If you didn’t realize this in time and the gift appears in Grandma York’s hands…”“There won’t be anything you can do to clear
Queenie watched his actions with great shock. Harvey casually rolled down the car window and waved his hand, letting the dust fly out.For others, the sword had significant meaning. It was a priceless artifact that could be treated as a family heirloom.But for Harvey, the sword meant nothing to him.He cast the sword aside after it broke in the middle of war, but someone managed to pick it back up and use it to frame him.What a joke.After seeing Harvey’s calm look, Queenie let out a sigh of relief. She knew full well that they had already won since the sword was destroyed.The two then looked calmly outside the window.Fabian stood in front of Murphy and the others.“What’s the meaning of this, Murphy?”“I told you! This is my car.”“You’re telling me you’re going to search my car? This is just disrespectful!”“When did you people have the right to go against me?!”Murphy grinned deviously as he watched Fabian’s frosty expression.“We’re both from here, Fabian. We can’t
Right when Fabian was about to give himself up…Harvey rolled down the car window and said, “We’re all good citizens here. We’ve been awarded for that too.”“Since the police are here to search us, we should just let them. We have a clear conscience, anyway.”“As good citizens, it’s only natural for us to cooperate with the police.”Fabian froze when he saw Harvey’s face from the window. He didn’t think that Harvey would be willing to be searched.But he trusted Harvey; he knew Harvey wouldn’t just do something like this for no reason. Thus, he nodded lightly and didn’t say another word.“But if you’re going to search us, I’ll have to warn you first.”“What statement will you give us if the so-called Head Coach’s sword isn’t here?”Harvey walked out of the car while crossing his arms with a calm expression.“After all, I’m the important guest of the Yorks of Hong Kong. I represent Lord York himself here.”“If you’re searching my car, that means that you’re searching Lord York
The Rolls Royce was torn apart in a matter of minutes.The excited looks on the inspectors’ faces turned into utter horror.The leading inspector then came back soon after.“Young Master Evans, we… We didn’t find anything!”Murphy’s face changed before he yelled, “Impossible!”He rushed forward and grabbed Harvey’s calligraphy painting.After scrounging around for a while, Murphy screamed at Harvey with all his might, “Where’s the sword?!”“Where is it?!”“We can’t lose it like this!”The Head Coach’s sword was just too important. There were still other uses to it after Murphy was done framing Harvey with it.If the sword was lost, Murphy wouldn’t be able to pay it off even with his life.“I told you. I know nothing about the sword, nor am I interested in it.”“Do you really think I’m hiding it with the calligraphy painting? What kind of joke are you trying to make here? Huh?”Harvey stared at Murphy, poker-faced.“I bought this at the antique store this morning. Do you t
"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
