“The Yorks from Hong Kong…”Harvey mumbled to himself before smiling.“Don’t worry. As long as they don’t provoke me, I won’t go out of my way to get them.”“These five hidden families have nothing to do with the top ten families, anyway.”“But if they try to kill me or hurt the people close to me, I’ll make their lives a living hell.”“I know they won’t do anything rash.”“Besides, I’m sure they’re aware of who they can and cannot provoke.”Listening to how calm Harvey sounded, Edwin let out a long suffering sigh.“CEO York, you haven’t been around Hong Kong and Las Vegas for a while, so you might not know how these big families do things.”“They may have some limits, especially if the situation’s really serious.”“But once they decide to trample on you, they’ll chase you to the ends of the earth!”“Besides, I heard that the Yorks from South Light were a huge nuisance for the Yorks from Hong Kong when the latter were trying to take over Country H. Hong Kong’s Yorks were pla
Harvey smiled.“Quite recently, I slapped Dennis Parker in the face.”“I ruined Quinton’s plans, too.”“Right now, Dennis is on his way to pay Quinton a little visit. Judging from their actions, I’m sure they hate me to the core.”“But even if they band together, they won’t be a threat to me.”“Still, Edwin keeps reminding me to be careful of Hong Kong’s York family supporting them in secret. Thus, I need to figure them out as soon as I can before I die a vain death.”George nodded in understanding.“You’re right about one thing, CEO York. Quinton and Dennis has power and background, but more importantly, they’re both hardcore supporters of Vince York.”“According to my intel, Quinton was already Vince’s lackey when he took control of the Yorks from South Light.”“From this perspective, we can conclude that you were already a threat to Vince’s interests the moment you snatched control of the Yorks away from Quinton.”“As for Dennis, he’s quite the character himself.”“He’s t
“Andy didn’t give his position to his eldest son, Cory. Instead, his fourth son, Marcel, was appointed as the head of the family.”“I heard that his other three sons were quite unsatisfied about this, Cory included. They only accepted it since it grudgingly was their father’s order.”“Grandma York, Andy’s wife, was quite upset about this arrangement as well.”Harvey nodded. He didn’t expect the Yorks from Hong Kong to have such a history.“Marcel is now in charge of the family, but Grandma York harbors a lot of disdain on her youngest son and his wife.”“She tried her hardest to support her eldest son, hoping that he would take the position one day.”“There’s also another rumor saying that Grandma York and Marcel had different political beliefs.”“Grandma York is in the mind that the Yorks aren’t the same hidden family as they once were, and that they should’ve stood on the peak alongside the top ten families!”“But for the last few years, Marcel remained in charge of the fami
“So what’s your general opinion about Vince?” Harvey asked after a while of pondering.George thought about it, then replied, “He’s ambitious and powerful, but I think he’s too confident sometimes. That usually comes back to bite him.”“If the Yorks from Hong Kong are declining, then it’s probably because of him.”After listening to George, Harvey began to digest the information in the laptop.There wasn't much, but it was enough to show George’s professionalism. Not only did he give a general introduction to the Yorks from Hong Kong…But he also introduced the old rulers along with the younger generation of the family.According to George, these people were the backbone of the family.While Harvey was busy browsing through documents pertaining to the top four families of Hong Kong, he saw that the King of Gambling himself was also labeled as a loyal ally of the Yorks. He could not help but be impressed by it.Everyone said that the Hamilton family was king of Las Vegas, but as
“There’s something else. According to the information, one of the major shareholders of the ship is actually from the Hamilton family!”“It’s the second young master, Christian Hamilton!”“I suspect that he’s on the ship right now.”George drew in a deep breath.“They must be planning something, CEO York.”“They’re coming for you, I’m sure!”“If I’m correct, this is about avenging Dennis!”Harvey rubbed his forehead before jumping on a yacht.“That’s right. They’re definitely coming after me,” he replied quietly.“Elder Mendoza called me, saying that his daughter got in trouble as soon as I slapped Dennis in the face. Do you think I can just let this slide?”…At the same time, at the top floor of St. Hope, inside an extremely luxurious VIP guest room.The entire room was bright with colorful lights. Yet, a sense of danger loomed about. A man in a white suit and gold-framed glasses, his hair neat and slick, held a few chips in his hand. His lips were a warm smile.Behind
Bang!Edwin slammed his hand on the chips, stopping his sister.“Sister, you can’t keep following the bet! We don’t have that much money!” Edwin whispered, panicky.“If Father finds out about this, we’re screwed!”“You of all people should know that you shouldn’t mess with gambling! If you do, you’ll never go back!”But Yoana replied with a cold laugh.“Don’t you realize why I’m here right now?”“If it weren’t for that debt you owed three years ago through gambling, together with interests piling up to a total of three hundred million dollars, do you think I’d show up here to pay it for you?!”Edwin felt a stab of guilt.Before enlisting in the Sword Camp, he was a playboy and a wasteful rich heir who acted with reckless abandon. In just a few years, he almost exhausted the family fortune and owed many. His father Paul had already paid off his debt before he was enlisted, but all of a sudden, another debt was dug up now.Together with interests, tens of millions of dollars
Christian knew he had already won a hundred and forty million dollars with ease. Together with the three hundred million that Edwin owed, he firmly believed that Yoana would be under his control after just one more win…Perhaps, Christian might even control Paul Mendoza himself!At this moment, Christian was extremely confident. He stopped stalling and flipped his cards on the table, smiling warmly. “A pair of kings and aces!”“Show us your hand, Lady Mendoza.”“If you don’t have a Straight Flush, you lose.”Yoana looked at her cards, snickering. She then flipped them open.“Ten, jack, queen, king, ace.”“Royal Flush. I won!”Yoana took her check back, emotionless. She had achieved the best possible hand to win the round.The extremely confident Christian’s expression changed frantically. He froze, stunned. “How is this possible?”Edwin froze at the sight.“I’ve won this round. Together with the chips on the table and your three hundred million dollars, I’ve earned a
“Of course you cheated! I have proof right here!”Christian flashed Yoana a smug look as he reached under her chest. Yoana was caught off guard, her expression awful, when he suddenly pulled out an ace of spades out of her tube top.Before she could come to her senses and shove him away, he pulled an ace of hearts.Following that was an ace of diamonds, and then, an ace of clubs…Card after card scattered to the ground as Christian pulled them out.Everyone gasped at the sight.“What?!”“She’s actually cheating on St. Hope?!”“She’s so shameless!”“No, no…! She’s playing with fire!”The crowd was shocked. They didn’t think that Yoana would actually cheat!Yoana, however, narrowed her eyes in silent anger. She never had the cards in the first place. It was Christian who pulled the cards out of nowhere.Judging from this, it was apparent that not only was Christian quite proficient in gambling, but he was also quick-witted enough to frame Yoana.After seeing Yoana’s horrible
