“If that’s really the case, then I can’t trust you after all!”“All these years, I’ve misjudged you!”Lexie raised her head and glared at Vince with a grim look.She didn’t expect Young Lord York himself to lose his mind to this extent for the sake of a mere woman.“This isn’t about being reckless, Lexie. All of Hong Kong and Las Vegas knows that the Five Virtues Temple stands behind me,” Vince calmly replied.“Even if Harvey and Teal only met by sheer coincidence, our fragile alliance with the Five Virtues Temple will crumble if someone decides to spread rumors about this. This is all the more possible when considering Teal’s status.”“Besides, as a man, I cannot allow anyone to tarnish my dignity!”“I’d rather die than let that man be with Teal.”Lexie reached out and caressed Vince’s handsome face gently.“You’d rather die?” she whispered after a long pause.“That isn’t something a noble like you should be saying, Vince.”“This is a crucial moment in your life. You need t
Vince’s eyes lit up. He then whispered into Lexie’s ears.“If we’re going to deal with my cheap mother, we’ll need to be a lot more careful.”“She’s been acting really suspicious since the past few years, but my fourth uncle still loves her all the same.”“She even has peak Kings of Arms surrounding her every waking moment.”“If we want her dead, we’ll have to make sure we succeed in one go. If not, we’ll only cause more trouble for ourselves.”“It shouldn’t be too hard.” Lexie flashed Vince a warm smile before dialing a number on her phone.“The number one killer organization of Country H, the House of Phantoms.”“They owe me a favor.”…On the next day, early in the morning. After waking up from the presidential suite of the Three Seasons Hotel, Harvey noticed a few texts on his phone.One of them was a report of Akio’s status from Katy.Other than Akio’s successful escape, the other Islanders were now in the hands of the Nanyang Gang. It probably wouldn’t end well for t
Though the outside world claimed that Selena had become a soulless husk in all these years after losing her son…But judging from her sharp deduction and her ability to figure out what happened so quickly, she must have regained the composure and decisiveness she had in her youth. Selena turned to Harvey after she was done talking, as if she wanted to know his thoughts. Harvey shrugged.“Don’t tell me you don’t have any backups for these documents, Madam Judd,” he said calmly.“I have,” Selena whispered.“I got my trusted subordinates to scan these documents beforehand, along with some of the ones that I’m not allowed to copy.”Selena couldn’t help but rub her temples.“That’s why things are a little awkward right now,” she said quietly.“I can keep investigating, but I can’t bring any proof when everything’s revealed.”“Those scanned documents mean nothing to the law!”In response, Harvey chuckled.“There’s another way of looking at this, Madam Judd.”“Some of the evid
Harvey chuckled at the sight.“Looks like it’s good for you to experience such a thing after all.”“At least you’re pretty cautious about everything.”“You live and you learn. If I’m still the same as I was before, I would’ve died without even knowing why by now,” Selena replied calmly.“After all, I figured a lot of people wanted me dead as soon as I decided to investigate the incident ten years ago.”Harvey’s pupils shrunk after hearing those words.This meant that there were quite a lot of people involved in that incident.All of Hong Kong and Las Vegas might’ve been dragged into the matter as well.Harvey narrowed his eyes at the dark sky outside the window. A storm was about to come…While the two chatted, a good-looking waitress pushed a food trolley into the room.She bowed respectfully at Selena before saying sweetly, “Your breakfast, Madam.”“Set it up here.”Selena waved her hand, and soon after, the table was filled with various delicacies.In addition to that,
Smash!The moment Harvey flung the cup, the beautiful waitress instinctively dodged to the side.Her face was ice. She knew she had been exposed.She waved her hand without any hesitation. Right after that, a flurry of silver needles flew toward Harvey.Harvey grabbed a napkin and flung it with calm ease, catching every single needle. Sensing an opportunity, the waitress ducked and revealed a thin blade in her hand.She made her way toward Selena, aiming her blade right at Selena’s neck.Bang, bang, bang!But the moment the blade was raised, the seemingly powerless Selena pulled out a hidden firearm.She immediately pulled the trigger, unloading all six bullets into the waitress’ body without so much as a flinch. Her face remained stoic all the while.The waitress struggled frantically before falling to the ground, a wretched look on her face.She never expected that such a weak-looking woman would possess a hidden firearm!“Look into her background. Grab her family, frie
“It’s Vince.”Selena didn’t even hesitate when she answered.“Out of the entire family, he’s the only person who has the right to take action against me. He can also find the opportunity to do so without alerting me.”“I just don’t know why he wants me dead so quickly.”“After all, I’ll officially be his mother soon.”Harvey shrugged.“That’s why I told you he has no right to rise to power.”“We can’t be so sure,” Selena replied calmly.“After all, me investigating the incident ten years ago will definitely affect the interests of many.”“Vince isn’t the only one. Many others will want me dead.”“It’s a shame. Even if they hate me to the core, they’re also afraid of me. They’d never dare come at me.”“Whether they like it or not, I’m the current lady of the house right now.”“The second most powerful figure within the entire family.”“Out of so many people, there are only a few that would dare go against me.”“Vince is definitely the bravest of them all.”Harvey chuckled
At Victoria Harbor, Vince’s phone suddenly rang as soon as he sat in his office.His expression changed repeatedly after he picked up the call. After some time, a horrible expression settled on his face.“What’s going on? Did the assassination fail as well?” Lexie said, frowning.Vince’s face darkened in an instant.“Not just that, but the killer from the House of Phantoms was caught alive too.”“I was informed that the killer’s unconscious right now. They haven’t got anything out just yet.”“Selena already gave Lord York a call, so he’ll dispatch a few interrogation experts.”“If anything goes according to their plan, they’ll connect the dots to us sooner or later.”“Even if there’s no solid proof, it’ll affect my plans badly.”“The rumors might just stop me from rising to power.”Vince couldn’t help but rub his temples in displeasure. He never expected things would become this troublesome.His plans to kill Harvey failed. On top of that, Selena was still alive as well.At
The so-called Sentries of York was quite similar to a law enforcement agency within the Yorks of Hong Kong. Or rather, it was an organization that focused on violence.Not only was it in charge of protecting the important figures within the family, but it was also responsible for dealing with the dangers within the family’s inner circle.Simply put, the Sentries of York are in charge of doing proper jobs…But they also had to do all the dirty work.To maintain the organization’s combat strength, every single member would have to fight on battlefields outside the country’s borders for half a year.They were highly dangerous, with every single one of them possessing unimaginable strength. Ordinary bodyguards of the Yorks could never come close to them.A fierce-looking man with slickback hair and clad in a white suit led about fifty Sentries of York to the entrance of the villa.Harvey, who had never left since the morning, stood in front of the gate and watched them with eyes fil
"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
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
