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
“It’s almost time, Sir York.”While Harvey was pondering the situation, Aiden showed up in a suit. He brought Harvey a cup of tea respectfully.This time, Harvey specifically asked for him and Rachel to come.Aiden felt this was a good chance for him to climb the ranks under Harvey. He was exhilarated.Rachel, on the other hand, was sitting in the corner, emotionless.Her exquisite face was filled with caution as she studied the surroundings.As a member of Longmen, she knew full well that Flutwell was a dangerous place. This was Longmen’s territory, after all.The locals of this place were well-versed in martial arts. Even children who just came out of their mothers’ wombs would know how to throw a mean punch.Together with the Bauer family, one of the top ten families of Country H, the forces of Flutwell had quite a strong background.Mandy’s situation was deeply connected with the Bauer family as well.Rachel came here with the will to lay down her life if need be.Harvey
Xynthia knew that if she signed the papers, both her mother and sister would have no way out of the situation.After meeting with Dylan, she knew she had to show her resolve and not give in.“My God! Even if you don’t sign the damn papers, do you think you can stop all this from happening?”“This isn’t Mordu!”“You’re not the young master of Longmen or the Golden Palace! You don’t even belong to the Bauer family!”“Let me tell you something! Other than these people, nobody else has the power to stop all this from happening!”“Right! I heard a young man was appointed as the head of Longmen’s Law Enforcement. He should be able to deal with this! He sounds pretty capable!”“But a small fry like you surely isn’t acquainted with a man like that!”The assistant glared at Xynthia with a disdainful look.“I’ll be frank, Xynthia.”“So-called celebrities like you are just toys for the major figures.”“You don’t actually think you’re on the same level as them, do you?”“Manager Bowie’
“Where’s the law to you, Riley?”Xynthia frowned.“I only worked together with Dylan for a commercial.”“Besides, my mother and sister were screwed over by that b*stard Joseph!”“I don’t care if Dylan doesn’t want to uphold justice, but he even asked me to sleep with him and sign the contract to prove my mother and sister are involved in the fraud!”“That’s just disgusting, don’t you think?”“Don’t you understand? They won’t be able to survive if I sign the contract!”Riley laughed coldly.“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Xynthia.”“Law? Justice?”“In this day in age, the devil takes all the spoils!”“You think you can get out of the situation alive after going against the Golden Palace and the Bauer family?”“Don’t be naive! Think about how to save your skin!”“Sign the contract and spread your legs, and you’ll get out of the mess scot-free!”“If you keep insisting on your so-called morals, don’t blame me for what happens next!”“I didn’t hire you for a high price just for
Riley changed her expression and gnashed her teeth.“There’s no other way now, Xynthia!”“Do everything Manager Bowie wants you to!”“That way, we’ll be able to keep our lives!”“Things won’t go well if you don’t!”Xynthia ignored Riley, who was making a big fuss out of the situation, and narrowed her eyes as she looked in front of her.“Drive to the nearest police station!”Under such circumstances, this was the best way to go about it.“Right!”The driver picked up the pace and drove to the nearest police station.When they almost arrived, several cars from the Hatchet Gang were already waiting on the side of the road.A man was leaning by the window while smoking a cigarette with a playful look. The Hatchet Gang had blocked off every single one of Xynthia’s routes.She wanted to go to the police station?Impossible!Cold sweats drenched the driver’s back.“We can’t get in! The Hatchet Gang’s here!”The driver was sweating profusely.He was also from Flutwell. Becaus
Vroooom!The revving of the car engines could be heard. Under such dire circumstances, the driver was barely conscious. He carried out Xynthia’s commands as if he was a robot.The car entered a small road and went into an expressway leading straight to the airport.The Toyota Prados froze, shocked. Then, they hurriedly trailed Xynthia’s car.When the car arrived at the airport, the driver sped right toward the bustling internet hotspot.A lot of people looked over, trying to see what happened.This was a dead end, though; the car had to stop after arriving near a cafe.“What did you come here for, Xynthia?”“You don’t think that you can just fly away now, right?”Riley was so angry that she was laughing.“I won’t say anything if you try to escape through the highway.”“But you got yourself caught in a dead end! What’s the point of struggling in the first place?!”“You did nothing besides make the Hatchet Gang’s lives better!”“Listen to me! Do everything as they say!”“Th
"In other words, you don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it," Zayden said. "As for the Ninth Branch, that's the fruit of your labor. At least, I don't see anyone has the right to replace you as the head. Unless you have made a very serious mistake, your status as the head of the Ninth Branch is guaranteed. Remember, never say something like giving up your spot as the head ever again."Top families like the Jeans of Mordu have their own rules. There are certain positions that can't be taken just because you wanted to, and there are those that you can't leave just as easily as well."Mandy was stunned after she heard Zayden's criticism of her. Then, she nodded. "Understood. Thank you for your lesson, sir. I will do everything I can in the service of the family."Mandy wasn't that surprised to see that Zayden was willing to make a personal appearance. Since Kyros didn't show any respect to the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden needed to make a show of force once things reached thi
After about half an hour, Mandy finally saw figures appearing at the entrance. She grew a little uneasy. She put down the phone that she was using to work, and stood up."Ms. Mandy, Mr. Zayden is now ready to see you." Ms. Judd smiled and signaled Mandy to come with her. The estate might look quite small, but in actual fact, the entire land surrounding it was considered part of the estate. Without someone leading the way, no one could find their destination.Very quickly, Ms. Judd took Mandy to the Storm Pavilion in the garden. This place was quite warm, and it made Mandy feel quite relaxed. In the middle of the pavilion was a table with several plated snacks. They were all things that could be found in the countryside, like peanuts and carrots. Other than that, there was a bowl of barley.A man around fifty years of age was just getting ready to eat when he raised his head and smiled at Mandy. "Why are you here, Mandy? Aren't you supposed to be in Wolsing handling the Ninth Bra
Purdue Mountain, Mordu.A brand new Mercedes-Maybach drove into an ancient estate on the hill of the mountain. As it was close to the ocean and the temperature quickly dropped during the fall season, other than some coldness from late autumn, the estate also carried a certain frigidity.Mandy got out of the car wearing a thin jacket, looking at the ancient structures within the estate. Some of them were centuries old, and no one could tell how long they had existed. However, the buildings looked like they were newly constructed. The Jeans of Mordu would renovate and repair the buildings once every three months, as well as install the newest technology.Just that alone was evidence of how important this place was for the Jeans of Mordu. The truth was that this was the residence of the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu, Zayden. He had been extremely discreet these past years.Normally, the patriarch of the Jeans of Mordu would stay here. All his words and actions would decide the ent
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
It was obvious Kyros had mastered the way to threaten someone using the people close to them. Or perhaps, it was easier to say that few people could escape the laws of what he had said. Few people could be an island in this world.In short, Kyros had never treated Harvey as someone he had to take seriously even in his subconscious. He was from the Wrights of Wolsing, the leading family of the top ten families.Blaine, Hector, Dan, and the other scions within their ranks might make it worth his time, but Harvey was definitely not one of them."Oh, you're offering me a lesson," Harvey chuckled as he heard his words."I'm not giving you a lesson. I'm simply telling you that there are rules in this world that you can't escape no matter what," Kyros said sincerely. "For example, it might make you feel good to hit my head until it's bleeding, but now that you've calmed down, don't you feel any regret about it? Didn't you feel lucky that I'm still alive? Otherwise, how do you think this w
"These two titles might be enough to scare countless others to submission," Kyros said with a smirk. He then lit up a long cigar and puffed out a smoke ring. "But to us Wrights of Wolsing, that's pointless…"Harvey calmly said, "So that won't work, then?"Kyros smirked. "For the time being, yes. Maybe you can show us some other things, see if they can scare me too…""I think this should be able to scare you." Harvey couldn't be bothered with continuing this conversation. He grabbed a glass ashtray and then slammed it on Kyros' head.There was a bang, and the ashtray shattered as blood sprayed.After what Harvey had done, the arrogant Kyros was instantly in a bad state. Blood was dripping from his forehead, making his face look brutal."What?!" Royce looked at Harvey in disbelief as his mouth opened wide, as if he didn't know how to react. Kyros' companions and his bodyguards were all similarly stunned. No one expected Harvey to attack when the negotiation went sideways.It wasn'
"If you ask me, I don't mind making concessions. If you can call one of the direct descendants from the Jean family to come over and offer an apology, I can consider this matter over. Otherwise, just the Jean family's reputation alone isn't enough. But even then, can the Ninth Branch ask any of them here?" Kyros' face was filled with contempt.It was true that being one of the top ten families was very impressive, but the difference in status between a direct descendent and a descendent from a branch family was quite wide. Someone from the ninth branch of the Jeans of Mordu wanted to force someone from the direct branch of the Wrights of Wolsing to back down?They must be joking.Xynthia wasn't sure what to say at this time, as she had run out of words.At this time, Harvey interjected calmly, "You know what's really going on when it comes to who's being right and wrong. Since Xynthia wants to settle this peacefully, I'm willing to take that route as well. But looking at how fo
Kyros' words carried a hint of laziness and brazenness. It was as if the entire Wolsing had already been crushed under the Wrights' heels. It was as if no one would doubt their strength.After he said that, the man called Raiden revealed a cruel smile and waved his hand. All the other men and women, clad in exotic outfits, moved out of the way, each with a gun in hand. They immediately locked down the entire restaurant. Some of them even calmly revealed their permits and showed them to everyone.In a place like Wolsing, it was almost impossible for someone to possess any firearm legitimately. That alone was enough to explain a lot of things."You're scared now, aren't you?" Royce said coldly as he dialed another number. Another group of security guards rushed in and immediately blocked all the exits. It was clear they weren't going to stop until someone was dead.This could explain a lot of things indeed.However, Harvey didn't think too much about this and simply smiled. Meanwh
