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
“I worked so hard to merge both the head and second house’s forces after so many years!“I already shared my interests with the Islanders to gain their support since the beginning!“With all of these forces combined…“Do you still think you have a chance against me?!“With my power, it would be effortless for me to build a family of my own or force you out of your position!“But, I respect you as the lord of the family! That’s why I’m willing to stay as the young lord until you let me take your place!“Not only are you shameless enough to rob me of my status because of some outsider…“You wouldn’t even let me climb the ranks?!“If that’s the case, let’s just lay everything out here then!“Either you resign and hand me your position…“Or we fight until the bitter end! We’ll see if I’m well-prepared or if you have more tricks up your sleeve than I do!“But trust me, I won’t regret it even if I’m completely spent!“But if your people die…“We’ll see how you’ll defend the damn
Cory York and the others merely chuckled coldly without saying a single word.“Don’t say it like that, Fourth Uncle!” exclaimed Vince York.“We’re only forced to revolt because of you!“From now on, your time has passed!”“You’re forced to revolt, you say?”Before Harvey York could even say anything, Marcel York looked at Vince before letting out a huge sigh.“I’ve been extremely discreet when I do business for many years. Do you really think that I’m that easy to be taken advantage of when I’ve been talked down on by Grandma York and the houses of the damn family?!“Do you think I’ve given up on the Yorks of Hong Kong and have no bite after losing my son?!“Do you really think I don’t know about all those heinous things you’ve been doing behind the scenes?!“Do you actually think I lost control of you?“I stayed back and watched you make mistakes because I hoped you’d come to your senses and grow from them so you can become a true successor of the family!“But the truth tol
“Hahahaha!“Hahahaha!”Vince York burst out laughing after seeing the armed helicopters descending from the skies.“I underestimated you, Fourth Uncle!“I didn’t think that you were ready for my coup!“Impressive!“Really impressive!“But, are you really going to do this?!“The family might just collapse if we play this out!“You worked so hard for the family for so long! Are you really prepared to destroy the family because of our infighting?!”A cold gaze was showing on Vince’s face.Marcel York frowned and looked at the people in front before he shifted his gaze toward the people standing with him.He felt that he could be triumphant…But even if he did, his losses would be massive.Clearly, this was the reason why Vince was this courageous. He knew that Marcel would not dare to lash out.“That’s why! I have a proposition! One that will keep the family safe and sound!”Vince walked forward and waved his hand. Then, a chair was set right behind him.He sat on the cha
Vince York burst out laughing after hearing Lexie York’s words.“She’s right.“Auntie has a point!“I’m not forcing you to play with me, Harvey York. But if you do just that, I’ll let you go myself.“I’m being pretty generous here!“I was about to rip you to shreds because of our past grievances!“But I’m fine with giving you a chance.Vince lightly chuckled.“Of course, you can reject both of my suggestions.“If you do, I’ll just let these Islanders do whatever they please.“I think they’re all dying to cut you down!”Vince then made a gesture before the Islanders glared coldly at Harvey.Their gazes were filled with resentment and hatred toward their sworn enemy.Naturally, after their Sword Saint was murdered and their base of the Shindan Way was raided, the Island Nations’ martial arts world was completely humiliated.Those people would not hesitate and cut Harvey down if they saw the opportunity.Not too far from Harvey, one of the Shinkage Way’s disciples and a mem
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
