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
Naturally, Grandma York was enraged and resented Harvey York for bringing this up at such a crucial moment for Vince York.If she had a way to suppress Marcel York, she would not even have the need to let Harvey continue on with his show.Obviously, Marcel also knew about that.“Mother, higher-ups of the Yorks of Hong Kong, there must be some sort of conclusion to the situation at this point, right?“Aren’t you all interested in what happened ten years ago?“We’ll show you everything today!“Everything will be revealed!“All of you will understand what happened!”After hearing Marcel’s words, Selena Judd took a deep breath to regain her composure before she glanced at Harvey.“No matter what you’re going to do, I’ll fully support you.”Harvey lightly nodded before exchanging looks with Selena.Then, he walked toward Akio Yashiro and spoke calmly, “If you cooperate with me today and reveal everything you know…“I’ll let you out of here after the banquet ends, just like we ag
Vince York squinted at Harvey York and exclaimed coldly, “Sir York, his words will mean nothing if you don’t let him prove himself.”Harvey seemed indifferent.“It’s really easy to do that, Young Lord York,” Akio Yashiro responded calmly.“I can’t show you any proof, but many people present here can help me with that.”Akio then shifted his gaze toward Lexie York before showing a faint smile on his face.“Fifth Lady of the Yorks, lady of the Dragon Palace, right?”Lexie’s frowned.“What do you mean?”“Everyone knows that Country H has four cornerstones, Longmen, Dragon Cell, Dragon Guards, and Dragon Palace…“Ever since Country H was founded, Dragon Palace was in charge of the foreign expedition, keeping the country away from war.“Safe to say that the Dragon Palace has the most terrifying power among the cornerstones.“That’s why. To prevent Dragon Palace from losing control, a particular character would be chosen to become the helm…“A middleman!“The current helm of Dra
A dozen Lord’s Guardians walked forward and stepped in front of the Dragon Palace elites under Marcel York’s orders.Naturally, Marcel was dead set on letting Akio Yashiro spill the beans.Akio just smiled before calmly shifting his gaze toward Cory York.“Now, let’s talk about your incident.“Thirteen years ago, you were planning to use the family’s funds to invest in an oil mine on the Dark Island, but the Americans were planning to do the same.“The family’s funds were no match to the competitors back then.“Since you were so desperate to make an achievement for yourself so you could climb the ranks quicker…“You asked Misfortune’s help!“There were no leads to the incident after that. Nobody knew why an oil tycoon from America would throw himself into the sea.“You used the opportunity to acquire the oil mine and built the Loxus Consortium! What an achievement!“There’s a saying that I agree with, the first bucket of gold from a rich man is always dirty.”“You shut your
