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
“Are you saying that Jacknife was your master?!“And he was the one who wanted my grandson dead?!” asked Grandma York after being dead silent for a while.“Do you even have proof?!”“I do!”Akio Yashiro clapped his hands before a Dragon Palace elite handed over an old voice recorder.“Here’s a recording of him from back then. I’m sure you’ll be able to hear his voice judging from how well you know him.“Since this wasn’t a direct order from the Island Nations, I kept this with me just in case!“I didn’t want to be blamed for what happened. That’s why.”Grandma York showed a horrible look as she made a gesture. Then, the recorder was brought to her side.After playing the recording for a long while, her eyes were wide-open before she instantly crushed the recorder.Obviously, she wanted to destroy the evidence.Marcel York’s expression slightly changed, but he did not utter a single word.Harvey York looked at Grandma York with a playful look.Grandma York stumbled off her
Everyone was shocked after hearing those words!‘The Islanders assisted with Vince York’s rise?!’Along with Jacknife’s incident, the entire incident was filled with conspiracies. It was terrifying to even think about.Grandma York’s expression turned dark instantly. She must have figured it out by then, but she still would not dare to face the music.She only gave Harvey a so-called statement for him to stop pursuing the matter.But she did not expect that he would reveal everything at once without any mercy!Marcel York frowned before he squinted at Akio Yashiro.“Tell us everything, Sword Saint!“If you do, I’ll guarantee your safety!”Akio lightly chuckled.“It’s not really a big deal.”“For example, when Young Lord York had some business in the Island Nations, we were pulling the strings to make sure that he made good bargains and take full credit for it!“We were the ones who orchestrated his assassinations before letting him go scot-free. That way, his importance wou
Vince York was looking extremely glum at this moment.Cory York was also showing a horrible expression. He was glaring at Akio Yashiro with a deathly look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Akio himself.Lexie York was horrified. She had not expected that Vince would have such a deep connection with the Islanders.Did Vince himself know that he was being supported by them during his rise then?!Even Grandma York looked weird as she intently stared at Vince. Her persistence and support for Vince were steadily dwindling.Along with Akio’s word, a Dragon Palace elite later walked out with a few trays.Pictures, contracts, ledgers, and various documents were brought out. Everyone understood that this was solid proof without even perusing it.If not, Harvey York would never allow all this to show up here, judging from his attitude.Harvey then squinted at Vince.“Is there anything you’d like to explain, Young Lord York?”“There’s nothing to explain!”Vince was not enraged, nor
“Are you sure about that?“Everyday people don’t understand the true relationship between Country H and the Island Nations, but how can you not?“All those heinous things they did to us during the second world war will never be forgotten! History never forgets!”Vince York scoffed while showing a playful look on his face.“How naive can you get, Harvey York?!“You’re still bringing that up till today?!“That’s old news!“Let’s not even talk about its credibility!“Even if it’s real, have you not heard of a saying?“Better to reconcile than to contend!“It’s been so long already! As civilized people of Country H, why can’t you just forgive their past mistakes?!“We all belong in the same waters, after all! There’s no running away from each other!“I’m sure they’ve been investing in our country for a while now!“We’ve also been collaborating quite a bit!“So what if I work with the Islanders if I can afford to do that?“I represent the unity between Country H and the Islan
After all, everyone knew that Vince York would have no chance of becoming the young lord if he was charged with treason.He would also have no chance to rise in the future.Ultimately, the higher-ups of Country H would not allow someone like this to rise.That was why they tried to rationalize Vince’s actions.After pondering over the situation for a while, Grandma York kept silent.She thought that Cory York and the others might have been right. After all, it was normal for Vince to work together with the Islanders for the sake of business.On the other hand, Vince’s capabilities were shown to the public because of this.“I have something else to say, Grandma York!”Before anyone else could even speak, Vince stepped forward with his hands clasped together.“If you think it was a mistake for me to work with the Islanders…“I will apologize!“I’ll even swear to stop interacting with them from today onward!“This should be enough to prove my innocence, right?“But, I’ll tell
