“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
Boss Dart and Dylan were part of the Four Goliaths.Since Dylan was a distant relative of the Bauer family, he cared about his family’s reputation. Thus, it was rare for him to do anything that would incriminate his name.However, Boss Dart was a real troublemaker. He wouldn’t care about useless things like his dignity. Every time he took action, he would never hold anything back.After seeing Boss Dart calmly smoking his cigar, Riley couldn’t help but stomp her feet.“What now? What now?!”“That’s Boss Dart, Xynthia!”“They’ll torture every single one of us before killing us!”“At least keep my body intact when I die…”Riley wasn’t the only one. The other two assistants went pale when they saw the man.They were going mad just thinking about getting tainted before being killed.Following the driver’s lead, the bodyguards locked the doors. Their faces were horrible.Even so, they were still shaking in their boots.Xynthia ignored them. Instead, she looked at the cafe not fa
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
