After a moment, Haider Bauer, Elmer Evans, and the others left while filled with resentment.Leslie Clarke sighed while holding the hundred and fifty million check.“This meeting was an absolute failure, Sir York.“I thought you’d be able to bury the hatchet with them!“But not only did you thoroughly disrespect them, you even sucked their money dry!“Those two old men made dozens of calls before getting their hands on this much money!”Leslie felt completely speechless.The two of them came to show off power, yet they did not even have a single dollar in their pocket at this moment.They even had to borrow all this money from wherever and whomever they could!Harvey York forcing them to pay up was a damage way worse than just disrespecting them.It was equal to robbing them of their retirement savings at this point.This meant that there would be no way to make peace with them in the future.“No worries. Even if we don’t go against each other completely, they’ll still hate
“If that’s the case, Vince York will surely change up his strategies after they complain to him about it!“And if Vince tries to play a long game because he thinks you’re too tough to deal with, the old dogs will think that he’s not even trying to seek justice for them.“With that, judging from the well-respected reputation that the two have, they might have a chance to sway Vince’s forces and put a dent in his people’s hearts.“If Vince decides to take action because of today’s incident, he’ll surely show the cracks in his plans!“You might even have the chance to deal with him completely.“Safe to say that you were already planning for this right when you walked inside this building.“This is what it means to win a battle without even being in person…”Leslie Clarke then handed over the check to Harvey York as she was speaking.She thought that Harvey was escalating the situation quite a bit and acting too reckless for his own good…But after receiving Toby Clarke’s pointers
Harvey York gave a thought about the situation, then said, “One more thing. Find a way to spread rumors saying that Vince York is suspected of conspiring with the Island Nations and The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets so he can rise to power on the day of Grandma York’s birthday.“We can make different versions of this rumor, spread out through multiple channels. Don’t let anyone find out about the people spreading the rumors either.“We need to keep Vince under control, so he has the mood to come outside for once.“Constantly scheming in the comfort of his own home must be bad for his mental health.”Vince was too methodical and good at keeping himself safe. If Harvey did not force him this way, he would constantly have to deal with his petty tricks.Only by forcing Vince’s hand would the seemingly unorthodox strategy work.“Yes. I understand. I’ll arrange everything swiftly.“Don’t you worry, Sir York. The Clarke family is still quite influential in Hong Kong. It won’t be ha
Kaitlyn Parson froze for a short while before coming back to her senses. She knew who Vince York was talking about.She lightly chuckled.“Young Lord York, you wanted to achieve two things by sending those two old men out before.“The first goal was to test the Longmen’s limits and observe their tolerance toward Harvey York.“The second goal was to drag The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets down. Now that the Island Nations have suffered significant losses after going against Harvey, you’re planning to use The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to deal with that man.“Isn’t it good now that those two old fools are being trampled on just as you wished?”“I planned for it to be this way, but plans can never keep up with change,” responded Vince calmly.“Some people just won’t acknowledge their own status. He still thinks he’s the one in control…”A disdainful look appeared on Vince’s face.“Some people?”Kaitlyn was pondering about those words.Hurried footsteps could be heard
Elmer Evans froze slightly.“You knew that Haider Bauer would be no match against Harvey York?“Haider’s the Law Enforcement of Longmen’s vice head! He has total control over all thirty-six branch leaders of Longmen!“How could Harvey be this disrespectful toward someone like that?!”Vince York handed Elmer a cup of tea with a calm smile.“It’s simple, really. He’s not just a branch leader of Mordu’s Longmen branch. To him, the title is just an added bonus!“I’m sure you’ve heard of his true identity before this!“The prince of South Light himself!“Even Melissa Leo suffered significant losses against him before she was forced to return to Hong Kong!“The assets of South Light’s only top family are all in his hands.“A man like that can’t be dealt with that easily.”Vince spoke calmly while showing a bitter look on his face.Elmer frowned before glaring at Vince furiously.“If that’s the case, why didn’t you tell us from the beginning?!”“I told you not to get involved, b
“If I remember correctly, your grandson also arranged a marriage with the Clarke family, right?“Technically, he’s Leslie Clarke’s fiance. Am I correct?”Vince York squinted.Elmer Evans sat frozen in place. He did remember the arrangement back when the Clarke family was still weak.It was a shame that his grandson was just as conceited as he was. He disdained people from Country H and only wanted to be the son-in-law of the royalty of The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.That was why he furthered his studies there. After finding a girlfriend who was a royalty there, he rarely came back to Hong Kong.If it were not for Vince, Elmer would have forgotten him already.“Judging from your expression, I’m guessing that I’m correct,” said Vince.“I heard Leslie was saying something along the lines of us needing to go through her if we want to deal with Harvey.“What would happen to your family’s reputation if something like that were to spread?!“After all, Leslie’s your grandson’
Harvey, who was sleeping soundly in the presidential suite of Three Seasons Hotel, was awakened once more by a sudden knock on the door the first thing the next day.He glanced at his watch, and then reluctantly went to open the door. When he saw the neatly-dressed Leslie at the door, he sighed. “Ms. Clarke… It’s only nine o’clock in the morning now. Why can’t you let me sleep a little longer?!”“Can’t you just let me have a good rest?”Leslie’s face was dolled up with beautiful makeup, but her expression was ugly. Ignoring Harvey’s grumbles, she yanked his hand and hissed, “Come with me to the airport. We’re going to pick someone up!”Harvey initially wanted to ask in detail. However, he kept quiet after seeing Leslie’s ugly face.Soon, Leslie’s Porsche 911 drifted on the Huancheng Expressway and entered the departure lounge of the Hong Kong International Airport.The Don family members were already waiting in the departure lounge.When they saw her approaching, they hurriedly
“That brat Murphy grew up in the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets since he was young. He found himself a girlfriend from the collateral family of the royal family of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.”“If these things happen outside, then it’s none of my business.”“If he could call off the engagement with the Don family in advance, then none of this will have anything to do with us.”“But… Forget calling off the engagement with us, the Don family! He actually brought a blonde to show off in my face after asking me to pick him up.”“This isn’t over!”Leslie’s face was ice. She didn’t care about this fiancé of hers.However, she couldn’t tolerate anyone disgracing her and the Don family.The social circle in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas could only be so big. If word of her fiancé's actions spread out, the Don family might be made a big joke in the circle.Harvey could also understand Leslie’s sentiment. Smiling, he said, “What are you going to do?”“Will you go now and as
"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
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
