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
“Right. Harvey York, I’ll open the borders and fully collaborate with the Islanders when I rise to power.“You despise me, don’t you?“You said I have no right to rise for being too close to them, right?“Come on then! Come at me!”Then, Vince York deliberately sat on the lord’s seat.Even Marcel York was completely ignored at this point.At this moment, Vince felt utterly prideful.“You’re probably too scared for that, though!”Vince coldly scoffed before he made a gesture.“Kill him! I’m in the middle of something big here!”A few Islanders in front stepped forward while unsheathing their swords.Obviously, they were ready to deal with Vince’s biggest threat first before anything else.“Vince.”Then, Harvey finally spoke up.“Didn’t you say that you were going to play with me?“I’ll play with you if you want!“But, do you dare to play with me yourself?“Aren’t you a God of War?“I slapped you in the face! Where’s your courage to fight for your dignity?”Vince’s fac
‘He got slapped away?!’‘The don of Briewood Gang himself?!’‘A prominent figure of Hong Kong and Las Vegas’ underworld?!’‘Grayson Parker’s a legend! How could he get himself beaten just like that?!’Judging from the current situation, Grayson must have been completely crippled from all those injuries if he was not dead already.The entire banquet hall was dead silent, so much so that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.Even Vince York and Lexie York, who were showing prideful looks on their faces, had their pupils shrunk at that moment.He crippled Grayson with just a single slap in front of everyone?!The Islanders threatening to kill Harvey were frantically twitching their eyes.“How is this possible?!”The wealthy ladies could not help but widen their beautiful eyes in disbelief.Grayson’s status was just too immense!In their eyes, people like him were practically invincible!Even if Harvey’s name became quite well-known recently, surely he could not rival G
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
