Harvey knew that Marcel was doing all this in order to suppress Vince’s ambition and make Vince lose all hope of rising to power…But this sudden move had pushed Harvey to the forefront.From that day onward, Vince and the head house would stop at nothing to deal with Harvey.Even though Harvey understood Marcel’s reasoning and feelings for doing this, he still felt like he had been stabbed in the back.Harvey was ready to walk out and announce that he wasn’t going to be Marcel’s son-in-law…But Selena and Queenie looked over as if they were begging for him to stay back.Naturally, they knew that Harvey was going to be painted at a huge target that day.But to prevent Vince from climbing ranks within the family and to stop The Empire and the Island Nations from meddling with Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s affairs, they had no other choice.“Shut up!”“Shut up right now!”Grandma York furiously slammed her cane to the ground, filled with unbridled rage.“You b*stards have no right
Members of the third and fourth house exchanged wary glances with each other, as if they were planning to run away.Naturally, they were all terrified of Grandma York’s wrath. Vince and the others let out a sigh of relief at her attitude.As long as Grandma York was on their side, Vince’s position was set in stone.The chaos eventually subsided.Everyone sighed; Marcel did so much to put on such a big show, but it was all shut down so easily.As expected from Grandma York!Right at this moment, Marcel took a step forward and stood in front of Harvey.Grandma York’s expression changed instantly. She slammed her cane to the ground angrily.“Marcel!” she exclaimed, furious.“What’s the meaning of this?!”“The others are trying to go against us, forcing an outsider to become the young lord and turn our family into history!”“But as the lord of the family, forget dealing with the situation, you’re trying to do exactly what they want!”“Have you gone insane?!”“I should consid
The crowd gasped at those words. Nobody expected Grandma York to be so determined to let Vince take the position of the new young lord.She would even give out billions of dollars just for that to happen! A shocking sight, indeed.But after thinking it over again, this was to be expected. So what if Grandma York had to pay a little price for Vince to rise to power?This ever dominant woman had been quietly paying her respects to Marcel, constantly making compromises just for Vince.Right when everyone thought that Marcel would agree to the deal, he frowned.“I’m afraid I won’t be able to fulfill your wish, Mother.”Grandma York exploded in anger.“Are you planning to go against me on my birthday?!”“I won’t be able to reject your birthday wish since this is your banquet…”“But if the future of the family, the city, and even the entire country are involved, then I have to oppose it!”“Vince cannot rise!”“Even if it’s not Harvey who would take his place…”“Even if it’s any
Selena was fast; her movements were no different than the speed of lightning.In just a single moment, her blade made its way toward Walter’s face before he could even react.Grandma York’s expression changed instantly. She didn’t think his son, who was so obsessed with martial arts, couldn’t even take a single blow against Selena.At this, she quickly took a step forward and swung her cane.Selena was caught off guard and received a painful smack on the back. She didn’t expect Grandma York to be so shameless as to actually strike her from the back.Selena swallowed the blood that threatened to spill out of her and raised her speed, moving faster than before. Walter got smacked in the face with her blade very soon after.Selena still had respect for her family; she only used the back of her blade as she attacked him.But Walter was still sent flying before finally smashing into the ground. It was a wretched sight.The crowd couldn’t help but gasp in fear. It was a truly terrify
Seeing Marcel laying down his life for Harvey’s sake, Vince’s face morphed into a wretched look. He shattered the glass in his hand in anger.Matthew and the others, who were standing next to Vince, could tell what Vince was feeling.If Marcel stood with Harvey, it would be a massive threat to Vince’s current position.The fight was at an extremely crucial moment.Grandma York glared coldly at Marcel for a long time. Finally, she let out a sigh.“Fine! Since you want to protect him, I’ll just leave you be.”“Since you’re the current lord of the family, I’ll let your important guest stay.”“However, I’m still going to tell you the same thing. You need to fulfill your promise right now!”“We talked about this before. Vince is supposed to be the new young lord on my birthday this year!”“You agreed to this back then.”“Since that’s the case, for both the future and stability of the Yorks of Hong Kong…”“You should be done with it now that everyone’s here!”“You should know thi
“Are you planning to go against the entire family, Fourth Brother?”“Or is it that you’ve never considered letting Vince take the position as the young lord since the very beginning?”“If that was the case, then why didn’t you just say so in the first place?”“You don’t actually think that pushing Harvey to the forefront would solve the family’s problems now, do you?”“Judging from the current situation, not only will your position be compromised if the situation doesn’t get resolved properly…”“The family will likely collapse sooner or later because of this!”“Are you really going to go against the family’s wishes, Fourth Brother?”Lexie glanced coldly at Harvey as she spoke.To be fair, Harvey was quite good at stirring up trouble.Even the entire banquet was ruined because of him.What a menacing man!Lexie was starting to regret not killing Harvey with all her might earlier.If Harvey was dead to begin with, none of this would’ve happened.But it was too late for anyth
After hearing Akio’s name, the crowd’s eyes twitched. They hurriedly looked at Harvey with odd looks on their faces.Their gazes were as sharp as blades.Cory and Walter’s expressions changed in an instant as well.Naturally, they knew full well what that name meant for them.There were just some things they couldn’t say.Especially not out in public. If they did, it would be disastrous!“What are you trying to do, Harvey?!”Grandma York didn’t know what was going to happen, but she had a bad feeling.“You’re not even from here, and yet you dare challenge me over and over again?!”“You think I won’t kill you?!”“Even if you’re Marcel’s son-in-law…”“There’s no way I’ll let you become the young lord of the family!”“An outsider like you is trying to climb the ranks of the family?!”“Keep dreaming!”“Mother, Harvey had no intention of being the young lord since the very beginning,” Marcel cut her off calmly.“I didn’t tell him this was going to happen.”“I thought that he
“What I’m about to say isn’t appropriate for an occasion like this.”“That said, there are too many people involved in this incident.”“That’s why I have to bring this up now!”“Ten years ago, Lord York had a baby boy. After a whole month, the boy was brought out of Maria Hospital.”“On that same day, to ensure the boy’s safety, Lady Judd and the boy were separated into two different cars.”“It was then the accident happened!”“Lord York’s son lost his life in the accident!”“This incident had always been a thorn inside Lady Judd and Lord York’s hearts.”“They’ve been looking into the incident ever since then!”“But today, we have the culprit right here!”“Akio Yashiro, the Sword Saint of the Shindan Way!”“He had another identity before this. He was Rin, the leader of a killer organization called Misfortune!”“After Julian and I went all the way to take him down, he finally spilled the beans!”“He told us the truth of what happened, along with the Islanders’ terrifying co
