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
Harvey York could not help but squint after hearing Vince York’s rambling.This was not his first time going against Vince, but he never expected that he would actually be this shameless.How dare he even spout something like this?It was bad enough that Vince was using those stupid reasons to prove his innocence.But judging from Vince’s demeanor, after being in contact with the Island Nations and relying on them to climb the ranks, he was already treating them as if they were his masters.He would even forget about the bloodshed during the second world war without any qualms.Harvey could not even begin to imagine the things that he would say and do after this!“Vince!”Marcel York finally spoke out at that instant. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes as he looked at the man he thought about being raised under his wing.“We never had any rules forbidding us from working with foreigners!“Nor did we have anything that prevents us from coming in contact with the Islanders!
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
It was obvious everyone knew the kind of situation Yvonne was in, so none of them were in the mood to cook. Instead, they simply ordered some takeaway and tried to see what they could do about this as they had dinner."Sir, according to the clues we can cover, the one pushing and controlling this should be Linus. The data he had should be complete, but he knew we wouldn't publish the second half of the wedding, which was why they could do this without fear of reprisal," Ray said angrily."Also, all these people on the internet are so stupid. They started to spread rumors without knowing any truth… Damn them! Didn't they know they should let the bullets fly a little?"Tyson thought about that, and said, "Sir, give me the word and I'll be able to find all of them one by one. We'll make them pay for their mindless ramblings!"Harvey glared at him. "Do you think you're George? Find one for me, then. Not to mention, this isn't something that violence can solve.""But we can't let them
"Despite being one of the top ten families, they worked together with the Islanders to profit themselves. They allied themselves with our enemies and made the eldest of their daughters marry an Islander. The Xaviers, one of the most powerful families in Country H… Hmph. Just what kind of filth are they hiding under all the glamor?"Our people have been at the top of the world for so many years, but now, there are those that kneel to some Islanders? Disgraceful! Shameful!"After Linus had gone to the rest stop, several of the most famous message boards on the internet started to show some hot searches which included words like top ten families, collusion, Islanders, and words like that. These words are all very eye-catching, and since there are people intentionally pushing things along, a series of events very quickly occurred on the internet.First of all, someone summarized that the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families, were in a state of weakening. Then, someone pointed
Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Early?"Yvonne nodded. "Correct. According to our sources, he went to a rest stop about 10 miles away from Wolsing to pick up someone."Harvey was quite curious. "Who can make Linus so passionate to welcome? Who is this person?"Yvonne massaged her forehead. "Speaking of which, this man can be considered your subordinate in a way. Unfortunately, it's fate that he won't be under your control."Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds?""That's right. The scion of the Sacred Martial Arts Training Grounds in Parkerville, Dan Parker. Previously, he requested to marry someone from the Wright family, and the Wright family had officially responded. He'll soon be the son-in-law of the Wright family," Yvonne explained sternly.Harvey was slightly stunned. "The son-in-law of the Wright family? Which means…Sienna's fiancé?"Meanwhile, at the rest stop 10 miles away… The rest stop which was usually quite plain was lavishly
Harvey had been freed, but there was still some paperwork that needed to be done.Harvey was patient, as if he really wanted the key to the city and prevent Country A from trying to stir up another storm with him. He was very cooperative throughout the entire process.Only once all the paperwork was done did Soren sigh in relief. "Leave the rest to us, Harvey. In the next few days, stay discreet so no one will get you into any problem.""What? I've already proven that I'm innocent. What kind of problems will there be?" Harvey said curiously.Soren didn't want to hide anything from Harvey and said with a bitter smile, "I won't lie to you. While the people who died were from Country H, they had already obtained permanent residency in Country A, which meant that they were a part of Country A as well. Just today, Country A's side had already given us pressure through their embassy."Logically speaking, we have to find the culprit as soon as possible. However, all the evidence we've co
Ten minutes later, Soren personally asked Harvey to join him in the director's office. After a pot of hot tea had been brewed and poured, he sighed and said, "I'm so sorry for today. It's my subordinates' blunders. He did whatever he wanted already despite just being promoted. I'll be sure to make up to you."Harvey smiled. "I can understand that with your family's size, you'll inadvertently end up with a few people with questionable behavior. You better keep an eye on things and don't let one person ruin everything for you and your family. Wolsing is different from Golden Sands. You have to be extremely careful when you're here."Harvey's words were cold, but it was enough to make Soren think about it. Meanwhile, Garrick, who was standing there with his arms next to him, almost fell on his knees as he felt his legs lose strength. Since simple words from Harvey had already ended his future."Of course… It's best if someone can correct themselves after knowing the errors of their
"Ha! What an idiot! Who does he think he is? If he really is someone important, why is he even here?" Snowe sneered.The only emotion Snowe had for Harvey was disdain. She despised men who have no capabilities at all the most.Garrick and the others went to the main hall of the precinct. Everyone from Country A had been told to go home. At this moment, a row of cars with flags drove toward the entrance of the precinct. Judging from the car plates and the flags on the car, it was obvious the person inside the car was someone important within the police force. Very quickly, the door was opened. Garrick and the others saw the most important and newly promoted man within the police force in Wolsing—Soren Braff, ranked two within the Braff family.There were several high-level members of the police force with him in white uniforms, and all of them exuded an incredibly powerful presence. The moment Garrick and the others saw Soren appearing, they quickly greeted him with a smile."Wh
