On the next day, early morning, at Victoria Harbor’s Seaside Restaurant.This place was owned by Queenie York and was one of Harvey York’s favorite places to dine in.Harvey dealt with Aurora Parker, a top celebrity who became one of his spies in this very place back then.It would also be natural for Harvey to deal with the fourth princess here.To show her sincerity, the fourth princess booked the entire restaurant ahead of time. Not only were the finest ingredients brought here, she even got a bottle of 1982 Latour all the way from The Empire.Harvey had no intention of holding back. After seeing a table full of delicious food, he waved his utensils and chowed down.The fourth princess did not eat with Harvey. She was calmly holding a goblet while taking a few sips.Her lithe figure was showing in the sunset while a refreshing fragrance could be smelled on her.Her guards were already called off. The arrogant and distant look on her face was completely gone. Only exhaustion
“Number three, I’ll give you everyone back.“If you require more men and weapons, I’ll give them all to you.“But, I want you to have a fierce fight against Vince York before you leave this place.“After all, we can’t go easy on a man who abandoned you, can we?”After keeping quiet for a while, the fourth princess quietly replied, “It’s not that I won’t accept your condition, Sir York.“I know how you work.“Since you’re going to hand Jason Leo back to me willingly, that means that you already have him under control.“This man’s half-dead by now…“Under these circumstances, I’ll have no chance against Vince. No matter how many men and guns you’re willing to give me.”“Ask me another thing.”The fourth princess’s domineering attitude was completely gone as she considered her pros and cons.Harvey smiled.“Not bad. I like your attitude.“I don’t like that you declined my condition, but I can tell that you’re sincere.“Then, I’ll ask something else of you.“I want you to fi
The night view of Victoria Harbor was the most charming at ten o’clock at night.Lovers would walk through the streets and the alleys to witness the city’s ebb and flow.All kinds of gossip were spreading from high-class nightclubs and restaurants.Someone was trying to ruin Grandma York’s birthday banquet!The young lord risked everything to keep her safe, but as a result, sustained heavy injuries. At this point, Maria Hospital had already sent out three critical notices.What a kind man!What a touching story indeed!If the gossip were to keep spreading, Grandma York would probably feel horrible if she did not get Vince York to become the new lord of the family.Right when everyone was talking about the situation, the curtains of the plaza were suddenly pulled open.A group of well-dressed knights was seen walking toward the recently built stage.The tourists thought that there was a show coming up.“What big day is this?! Why is there a show coming up?!”“Is this a tour
Vince York’s appearance was not some hidden secret. Everyone could tell that it was him in the picture.After realizing that Vince was the scumbag who abandoned the fourth princess, everyone was shocked.Ever since ancient times, princesses have been paired with princes! This is just natural!The fourth princess instantly caught everyone’s attention.“Since everyone knows who this man is, it’ll be easier for me to explain!” she exclaimed.“I am here to take responsibility for what happened at the abandoned villa today!“I planned for everything just to deal with Vince!“I wanted to drag this scumbag down with me!“And yet, he still pretends all this has nothing to do with me!“I won’t let him get away with this scot-free!“Even if my reputation’s completely tarnished, I’ll make sure he suffers with me!“I’m telling you right now, Vince…“Since you dared to abandon me, I’ll assassinate you as many times as I want!“Just you wait!“Go!”The fourth princess turned around an
“Don’t you know you’re not supposed to get close to The Empire’s royal family?!“You can go for all the women with the best lineage that you want…“But this one’s just a half-blood! You have nothing to gain out of her!“Maybe she’s trying to get all the authority and power you hold!“How can you be this stupid, Vince York?! Why would you sleep with a woman like that…?“With your identity, you can have any woman you want… But why her of all people?“The worst part is that she’s as shameless as the people from The Empire!“She’s exposing your affair to the public!“How could she?!“How dare she?!“Now, everyone thinks you’re just some scumbag who casts women aside!“It wouldn’t do too much if this were to spread in the upper social circle, but if Grandma York catches wind about this…”Lexie York kept running her mouth as she was showing an utterly horrible expression. Her usual calm countenance was already gone.Only a woman could tell how damaging the incident would be to V
Everyone looked at each other.“Young Lord York, this is really precarious,” Quinton York said after stepping forward.“It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not.“Your reputation is at stake here.“At such a crucial moment, Lord York would probably use this against you if word spreads farther than it should.“You should immediately look for the people involved with the media at the plaza. Deal with every single one of them! Give them as much money as they want!“We’ll get ghostwriters to reshape your image online after that.“Better late than never…”Vince York took a deep breath. He did not want to lower his head to the likes of the media with his identity…But since things were already escalating to this point, he knew he had to swallow his own pride to save himself.Without a second thought, Vince took a deep breath.“If that’s the case, I’ll have to…”Ding!Matthew Flynn’s phone suddenly lit up.His expression instantly worsened after picking up the call.“Something’s w
It was said that the place was previously an uninhabitable burial ground. After all, the Yorks of Hong Kong was once in a state of ruin.After nearly a hundred years of work, this place was surrounded by tranquility and beautiful scenery. Waterfalls and pavilions could be seen around the place as well.Various architecture styles from Country H were gathered here. It was considered by some people as the direct counterpart of the Imperial Garden and had quite a prodigious reputation.The night view was exceptionally unparalleled throughout Hong Kong.It was a shame that Vince York and Lexie York had their minds preoccupied and had no intention of enjoying such an incredible view. They swiftly walked past many checkpoints without even slowing down.Even the two would need to verify their identities when they arrived inside the Palace of the Yorks, let alone the others.Safe to say that this was the safest place in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.After walking through nine different
Vince couldn’t help but feel joy after seeing what happened.“I didn’t want to ask for your help at first, Grandmother…”“However, Queenie’s been using Fourth Uncle to join forces with The Empire’s fourth princess.”“Not only were they perpetrators of the abandoned villa incident, but they also got the fourth princess to accuse me of abandoning her…”“They hired ghostwriters to slander my name online, too.”“Social media platforms are waiting to get a scoop out of me!”“Queenie’s not letting me explain myself at all. She tarnished our family’s century-old reputation in just a single day!”“I have a way to fix it, but it’ll be too slow.”“I won’t be able to deal with it before your birthday. I couldn't ensure you have a peaceful banquet…”“That’s why I’m here now, to beg for your help.”“Please, Grandmother! Help me get through these trying times!”“I promise, after your birthday banquet…”“I’ll marry whoever you ask me to! I won’t cause any trouble ever again!”“When that
"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
