To Harrison, no matter what status and identity Harvey had, Harvey would have to pay the price a hundredfold if he killed Harrison.Harrison was sure that Harvey wasn’t stupid, either. The only reason he was taken hostage was because Harvey wanted to survive.As such, he knew that Harvey wouldn’t do anything rash. Or at least, that was his conjecture.“You impress me, Young Master Yates,” Harvey said playfully.“Ordinary princes and young masters would already be scared witless after seeing such a sight.”“You really are decent. As expected from the candidate for the next prince.”“There’s just one thing.I’m not good at dealing with provocations, so you better not provoke me.”“Otherwise, you might not even have time to regret…”Harvey’s words were calm as he pushed the shattered bottle in his hand deeper into Harrison’s skin. More and blood began pouring out of Harrison’s neck…But Harrison ignored it completely.“You might not understand the Yateses of America’s hawkish sta
“Edwin Mendoza, make a call!“Let Elder Mendoza bring the team to the pier!“And call some reporters to come over!“Just say that St. Hope, the gambling cruise of the Yates family of America, isn’t willing to lose, and even framing the gamblers by saying that they cheated!“If they failed to frame them, then they will forcefully suppress the gamblers!“Expose this scene. We’ll see if anyone is willing to come to play at the Casino Palace under the Yates family of America from today onward!“Since Young Master Yates wants to act ruthlessly, then we’ll play along with him!”Harvey York scolded while giving out a dozen slaps, hitting Harrison Yates until his face was swollen, looking hideous.He was not afraid of death, but if the reputation of the Yates family of America had plummeted internationally because of this, how could they still make money in Night City?Edwin was stunned for a moment. He quickly took out his mobile phone after that and made a call because he could also
The atmosphere was tense. Harrison Yates took a deep breath while looking at Harvey York’s noncommittal smile and forced himself to calm down.“Brat, you are so relentless. You really got me there!”Both Yoana Mendoza and Edwin Mendoza looked at him coldly after he said this.Harrison was obviously unwilling, but still, he took a deep breath. He then looked at the group of subordinates and coldly gave out an order, “Get out of the way. Let them go. No one is allowed to stop them!”He was hesitant to let Harvey go, but he also knew the consequences if he continued to meddle in this matter.Slap! Harvey then slapped Harrison again and replied coldly, “You want us to leave. Why should we listen to you?“Who do you think you are?“Showing me your attitude!”Harrison’s eyelids twitched. After a while, he spoke to Yoana, “Miss Yoana, I’m sorry, everything is a misunderstanding.“I sincerely apologize for what happened today. You can also take the three hundred million with you.“Th
After a slight hesitation, Harvey York asked, “What’s the situation tonight? Logically speaking, even if there is a so-called credit note, you still wouldn’t go to the gambling cruise and play, right? Moreover, you even have to play billions in one go?”Harvey already knew the whole story, but he had not quite figured out Yoana Mendoza’s purpose for doing all this.Yoana glanced at Edwin Mendoza and then said solemnly, “There are two purposes.“One is to settle Edwin’s debt completely. In Las Vegas, reputation is critical. You must repay it as long as you owe a debt.”“So, I want to take advantage of tonight to find out how deep Edwin is in debt and then solve this problem completely.“Second, the sudden appearance of this credit note that had Edwin’s name on is deliberately arranged by someone else. I want to see who wants to attack the Mendoza family.“After all, the Mendoza family has been walking on eggshells over the years. It is even riskier since my father has taken over t
Early morning the following day, Harvey York, who was sleeping in the villa, was woken up.Edwin Mendoza waited anxiously in the living room. He instantly stood up as Harvey came out and exclaimed, “CEO York, something has happened.”Harvey was slightly taken aback. He then asked, “What happened?“Anything else about what happened last night?”Edwin gave out a bitter smile and said, “Just half an hour ago. St Hope, which was docked at the pier of Las Vegas, was busted.“Not only did they close down tens of billions of chips at the scene, but they also arrested Christian Hamilton, Harrison Yates, and others.“The entire upper class of Las Vegas is in a total mess right now!“This is because the identities of these two people are exceptional.”Harvey slightly frowned and said solemnly, “What’s the reason for the shutdown?”“It’s illegal to open a casino without the casino license in Las Vegas.“However, in the past, when the gambling cruise came, the police station would turn a
Edwin Mendoza’s expression became even worse after listening to Harvey York’s words.This was because, judging from the various pieces of evidence they got a hold of now, the ones who would make the move apart from Harvey would be the Mendoza family of Las Vegas.Otherwise, who could have such great power in Las Vegas? Who could do such a big thing overnight?“Have you checked the background of the team leader?” Harvey asked.“I checked. He is a native of Las Vegas, and three generations of his ancestors work in the police force. Moreover, he has always been well-received in the police station.” Edwin said.“He has an exemplary character. However, the more ideal he is, the bigger is the problem.”As Harvey spoke, he took out his phone and sent a message.Ding!Harvey’s phone vibrated slightly after a while. Someone replied to his message.Harvey showed great interest after glancing at the message. “George has just found out the background of this team leader.“It is said that
Harvey York poured himself a cup of tea and said indifferently, “Not long after I came to Las Vegas, I’ve been slapping them in the face so many times.“It’s normal for them to hit back against me and want to teach me a lesson.”Both of Christian Hamilton’s hands were broken by him, both Denver Hamilton’s legs were also broken by him, and Jax Hamilton had suffered a considerable loss in his hands.Harvey pondered. That legendary King of Gambling, Fabian Hamilton, must have wanted to strangle him to death for a long time.After all, if he continued to let Harvey act boorishly, Harvey might trample on the fourth faction of the Hamiltons.He was the King of Gambling. He certainly has his pride and ego.Edwin Mendoza figured this out. Then, he gasped and said at the moment, “CEO York, if the one who made the whole thing up is the King of Gambling, Fabian Hamilton, then things will be troublesome.“Apart from ditching you, the King of Gambling has another intention, which is to take
Paul Mendoza walked through the corridor and then came to a semi-open garden.Previously, he often came to this place when he was not the first-in-command of Las Vegas.He had not come here for more than ten years after taking over this position.Paul was about to walk into the garden when a figure suddenly flashed by his side. A slender young girl said respectfully, “Mr. Mendoza, Mr. Hamilton is on the phone. Please wait for a moment.”“Okay.” Paul looked indifferent.He knew full well that Fabian was trying to teach him a lesson. However, he was the one who came to visit today, so he could only tolerate it.If he walked away presumably, the King of Gambling, Fabian would be delighted at this moment.Just when Paul was about to relight the cigar in hand, the female secretary’s headpiece slightly vibrated at the side. Then, she bowed and said, “Mr. Mendoza, please go ahead. Mr. Hamilton is already waiting for you.”Soon, the female secretary brought Paul into the pavilion locat
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
