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!
“Shut up!”Selena Judd could not hold her feelings back any longer. She furiously slammed and broke a table with unbridled rage showing on her face.“Your damn recognition?!“Hide the truth from everyone?!“How could you say something like this?! I used to think you were just a sweet and gentle boy!“You think there’s nothing wrong with collaborating with the Islanders, right?“You think they’re the ones supporting you behind the scenes too, don’t you?”Vince York coldly chuckled.“What’s wrong with that?“They have a great economy! Their swordsmanship is unparalleled! They even take good care of me!“They mean well!“I’ve been working together with them, and they support my rise to power!“All this happened because of my own capabilities!“Are you jealous?“Then, get the Islanders to your side!“What’s wrong with being capable?!“Stop trying to give me a bad name already!Vince snorted another cold chuckle.“I’ll tell you again! If you’re going to deny my accomplishm
Harvey York calmly stepped forward before slapping Vince York in the face.Slap!Vince, who was still being extremely arrogant then, was not able to come back to his senses.“You have no chance.”Harvey looked indifferent.“The foundation of the Yorks of Hong Kong is to protect the country’s borders!“You don’t even understand such simple logic, yet you still try to climb the ranks?“I’ll tell you exactly why I can stop you today!Harvey took another step forward and swung the back of his palm.Slap!“This one’s for you disrespecting your elders and the damn law!“You think you can be the young lord without your elders’ approval?! Keep dreaming!Slap!“This one’s for you having such rancid core values!“The Islanders want us dead, yet you’re here treating them like your masters?! What are you thinking?!Slap!“This one’s for you disrespecting the dead and the history at large!“Do you know how hard it was for the country to rise?!“The Islanders tried killing off all
The old man was considered to be quite the experienced fighter. When Harvey York moved, he instinctively took a step back after gaining his footing.Even though he was fast, Harvey was way faster.In the blink of an eye, Harvey appeared before the old man and swung his palm forward.The old man gritted his teeth while placing both hands in front of his chest, trying to block Harvey’s attack.But Harvey’s palm had already landed on his face.Slap!The old man was immediately sent flying with the sound of a resounding slap. Blood was seeping out from the corner of his mouth as he landed on the ground again.A complete loss!A peak King of Arms lost his battle in an instant!Harvey calmly walked past the old man before moving toward Vince York once again as he stumbled off the ground.“You touched me?!“How dare you?!“How dare you touch me?!“You’re completely barbaric!After returning to his senses, Vince’s expression was filled with utter resentment.“You touched me even
