At this point, everyone knew that the Islanders had assisted quite a bit in Vince York’s rise.If Vince were to become the young lord, surely he would have to repay the favor in the foreseeable future.But Harvey York completely exposed Vince, saying that the Islanders were only here to be killed off by him.The place went dead silent.Everyone knew that a man like Vince could actually do something this shameful.The remaining Islanders instinctively glared at Vince with unbridled rage.The experts of the Tsuchimikado Family were showing profound looks in their eyes.They knew how ambitious Vince was.He was planning to use the Islanders’ help as a stepping stone for his ascension.On the other hand, he was planning to kill off the Islanders and decrease their influence on the Yorks of Hong Kong in the future.Vince would do something this heinous.That was why the Islanders were showing strange looks on their faces while glaring at Vince.Lexie York and the others frowned
“As for why I didn’t fight you before, I only wanted to let you live a bit longer for the sake of you having the same name as me.“But since you don’t know your own boundaries, I’ll have to kill you myself!”Clang!Harvey York picked up the Chrysanthemum Blade from the ground and dragged it past his hand to feel the sharp touch of the royal family’s sword.“Since you’re such good friends with the Islanders…“I’ll have you killed with their sword then.”“Kill me?”Vince York looked around him and saw Grandma York boiling with anger, Marcel York remaining calm, and the agitated faces of Selena Judd along with the members of the head and second house.Then, he squinted at Harvey and replied, “You must be mistaken, Harvey.“They say that I’m just a God of War because of drugs…“But, there’s something that they don’t get. Once a God of War, always a God of War!“And one who’s been on the battlefield like me is more outstanding compared to the rest of them!“You’re impressive. Yo
Vince York slowly raised his head and squinted at Harvey York.‘How is this possible?!’He thought that he knew everything about Harvey at this point. He was sure that he had all of his skills and abilities memorized to a tee.Vince used ninety percent of his full strength on that slash.Based on his calculations, Harvey should have been sliced in half.Along with an overwhelming victory, only then would Vince become the young lord.But, Harvey was actually on par with him…He even seemed a little stronger than Vince…Maybe Harvey had been hiding his true strength since the beginning.Maybe he had been preparing to catch Vince off guard.Without a second thought, Vince’s murderous intent was no longer hidden from his cold gaze.In his mind, he knew that there was only one God of War that the younger generation needed, and that was himself!If Harvey had the possibility of surpassing him, then that would be more of a reason to end him.After all, he did not want anyone more
Clang clang clang!Harvey York discarded his broken sword and kept flicking his finger on the tip of Vince York’s sword.After the ninth flick, Vince’s hand trembled before dropping his sword. He had no other choice but to back off after that.Bang bang bang!Soon after that, Vince raised his hand, revealing a handgun that had its safety removed before pulling the trigger at Harvey’s chest.Swish swish swish!Harvey made some distance and dodged every single bullet in the nick of time.“Is this how you want to become the young lord, Vince?“This is where your confidence comes from?“You knew that you were no match against me already? You had your safety off and everything!“Pretty good!”“We’re in a life-and-death battle right now! There's no need for useless things like morals!” exclaimed Vince.“How can you not know about this?!“If you don’t survive on the battlefield, nobody would even think about you after you turn into a damn ghost!“Winner takes all today!“The vi
Harvey was just too fast—faster than anyone could’ve imagined.Vince’s slash seemed extremely slow in everyone’s eyes, while Harvey sped up in an instant.Lexie, who was certain Vince would win the fight, felt her heart skip a nervous beat. Suddenly, she was on the verge of screaming.Walter—the martial arts expert, had his face completely devoid of all color. A possibility came to mind as he watched the scene unfold before him.The Islanders froze, stunned. They wanted to say something, but it was all too late.Slap!Harvey managed to slap Vince in the face before the latter’s blade came down.Vince only saw darkness in front of him, and his body shook. He had no time to react, and he was sent flying in an instant.A loud bang followed suit. Vince, who had been extremely arrogant before, slammed right into the ground, without any strength left to crawl back up.Harvey crossed his arms as he looked calmly in front of him.‘A single slap?!’Harvey managed to send Vince flying
Harvey calmly swung his palm every time he spoke.Vince was screaming in anger as blood seeped uncontrollably out of his orifices.He was a God of War!He was unparalleled!All ten Sword Saints of the Island Nations had carefully taught him everything, just for him to rise…But it was useless!Vince was completely beaten down by Harvey, who was only getting a little serious. The former no longer had the strength to fight back.Those were just simple slaps to the face!If Harvey used a legendary move from some sacred martial art training grounds to defeat Vince, he could’ve at least acknowledged it.Not only was Vince physically hurt after the constant slaps in the face, but his dignity was also utterly tarnished!The slaps were just too plain and simple!And yet, a God of War like Vince couldn’t do anything against them!Not even when he used all his might!“Come! Tell me, Young Lord York!”“With your strength, your character, and your attitude…”“What right do you have
“At the same time, the Yorks of Hong Kong will need to be restructured completely from today onward!”“The Islanders will be strictly prohibited from entering the borders of Hong Kong and Las Vegas!”“All houses of the family must obey this order!”“Henceforth, only one house will hold the York Badge.”“The lord’s orders will represent the highest order of the family!”“And from now on, I will no longer be in charge of the family affairs!”“As for who’s going to be the young lord, we’ll call it here for now!”“The lord can decide that in the future!”After clearly expressing her attitude, Grandma York turned around and left.For a brief moment, she looked at Harvey with a cold gaze. Doubt, fear, and admiration could be seen in her eyes.As for her beloved grandson, she didn’t spare a single glance at him.In reality, Vince’s fate had been sealed the moment he incited a coup.To a certain extent, Grandma York giving up her authority for Marcel was her compromise in order to
‘What?!’‘Mandy and the others are missing?’‘How?’Harvey knew Joseph had Mandy invited to Flutwell to take a look at a so-called gold mine…But he didn’t think they would disappear immediately after that.“Do you have any other specifics I should know about?”Harvey walked to the side and took a deep breath to regain his calm.“Not at the moment. However, I’ve already mobilized all of my forces to look for Mandy.”“That said, I’ll have to be frank.”“Her disappearance doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me.”“Someone did this deliberately.”“I can’t tell what their goal is, though.”“I’ll report back to you when I find anything else.”“No need.”Harvey took a deep breath. His eyes were frosty. “Flutwell is Longmen’s territory.”“These people targeted Mandy in order to take my position as the head of the Longmen’s Law Enforcement.”“Contact Rachel and Aiden. Tell them to get inside Flutwell with their men.”“I’ll get there tonight.”…Early in the following morning
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
