“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
However, Harvey stood right in front of the entrance and blocked Julian’s path.Julian glared coldly at Harvey, frowning.“I don’t care who you are.”“I don’t care where you come from, either.”“Good dogs don’t bite.”“Now move!”Harvey didn’t get angry even after hearing Julian’s arrogant tone. He glanced at Julian with a faint smile, full of interest.“You don’t know who I am?”“You’re the one who stopped Dean from killing your master Akio behind the Taiping Mountain’s forbidden area, right?”“You’re clearly his servant, judging from how you prevented Akio from dying.”“And now you pretend you don’t know me?”“Is there a point to all this charade?”Julian grew utterly enraged at Harvey’s taunts.“Shut up!”Julian only took action and helped Akio to repay a favor to Vince, similar to what he was doing right now.Alas, he never imagined he would be thoroughly exposed by Harvey after trying so hard to conceal his identity.It was Julian’s first time meeting Harvey, but h
“What? You’re unhappy with this?”Harvey took a step forward and tapped Julian’s face a few times.“If you’re unhappy, kill me already!”“Do you have the guts for that?”Julian’s eyes kept twitching at Harvey’s look of indifference.He couldn’t hold back his urge and pulled out his firearm before placing it right on Harvey’s forehead.“Shut up, Harvey!”“Let me tell you something…”“This is the Yorks’ turf!”“In our turf, you do as we say! It doesn’t matter who the f*ck you are!”“You don’t have the right to show off here!”“I don’t care if the killer injured you, nor do I care if you’re planning to question her!”“I’m only asking you this: are you handing her to us or not?!”“If not, then don’t blame me when you end up dead!”“I know you can fight, but can you defend yourself against all these guns?!”About fifty Sentries of York immediately pointed their firearms right at Harvey.They would turn Harvey into mincemeat once Julian gave the order.Harvey stood calmly, h
The Sentries of York were filled with both horror and disbelief. Meanwhile, Julian was beside himself with rage.He waved his hand furiously as he let out a cold laugh.“Since Harvey won’t show us respect, we’ll just detain him!”“Kill anyone who tries to resist!”The sentries twitched their eyes slightly at the order. They were terrified, but they had to move nevertheless.They pointed their firearms at every single weak point on Harvey’s body.They were slowly approaching Harvey, as if they were scared that Harvey would suddenly fight back and kill them in an instant.“Did I say that you could move?” Harvey asked, nonchalant, as he took a step forward.Even just a few simple movements from him were filled with unimaginable pressure.A strong aura could be felt crushing the entire sky, forcing the sentries a little closer to the ground.It felt as if their act of pointing firearms at the man before them was utter blasphemy.Julian’s expression worsened after seeing his subo
Julian’s eyes twitched slightly. He seemed to have realized this fact as well.He immediately held his anger back and spat coldly, “True, Selena is the lady of the family. But if I remember correctly, she had already revoked her authority ten years ago because of the loss of her child.”“If you want to prove that we broke the rules, you’d have to prove that she’s still the so-called Lady Judd first and not just some sick woman.”“I knew you wouldn’t give up that easily.”Harvey smiled before waving at Abel.Abel froze for a moment. Then, he brought a golden badge and placed it in Harvey’s hand.Harvey slammed the badge into Julian’s face with all his might.“Open your eyes and look closely!”“This is the Lord Badge! Your lord gave this to his wife!”“This badge alone represents the lord himself!”“Now, how are we going to punish you for going against your superiors?”“You think you can just waltz out of here with the killer and raze the garden villa?”“Let me tell you somet
Harvey’s tone sounded quite calm, but it had enough power to pressure everyone on sight. The elites were terrified to take a step forward, let alone pull the trigger.No one doubted Harvey’s strength at that very moment.After all, he was able to kill off Miyata. It wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with Julian, who had only trained to use firearms and not martial arts.Julian finally came to his senses when he was pinned to the ground.His eyes kept twitching, and his face was twisted in an ugly look. He didn’t expect Harvey to actually be this crazy.The man was clearly at a disadvantage, but he still dared to smack Julian in the face!On top of that, Harvey kicked Julian straight to the ground!Julian stared directly into Harvey’s eyes.‘No wonder a powerful man like Vince is scared of this guy…’‘It’s not that he fell out of power. This man is just too domineering!’Julian was certain that even the princes and young masters from Country H wouldn’t even dare act this way!
"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
