“Brother York!”Zina Hamilton seemed quite close to Vince York.“It’s not that I want to cause trouble, but that shameless bastard, Naoto Takei, drugged me!” exclaimed Zina while biting her lip.“Carol Parker even took his side!“Is it wrong for me to ask for justice?”Carol’s expression frantically changed moments before she bowed.“Young Lord York, this is all just a misunderstanding.“To show our sincerity, Young Master Takei and I are willing to apologize and compensate for her losses but the lady even tried to castrate Young Master Takei using her family’s influence!“You should know that this is such a cruel way to treat a man, Young Lord York!“That’s why I…”“Alright. Both of you, shut up.”Vince waved his hand while emanating his pressuring aura with a calm look on his face.“Someone already informed me what happened.“Both you and Naoto are in the wrong, Carol.“If you taint Zina’s innocence, you’ll incite war between the three families and cause Hong Kong and L
Zina Hamilton’s face turned pale. She was filled with utter disbelief when looking at Vince York’s eyes. She did not expect that the man she had known since childhood would treat her this way.Zina gritted her teeth angrily.“I have an issue!“The bar, fifteen million dollars, or an apology doesn’t mean anything to me!“My family doesn’t need anything like this!“Besides, have you thought about the things that would happen to me if I wasn’t lucky enough?!“I only have one demand, which is to cripple Naoto’s every single limb!”“I want his dick chopped off too!”Zina almost broke a tooth with how hard she was gritting her teeth then.The look on her face was enough to make the men around feel a draft under their pants.“Zina!”Vince frowned slightly.“Are you not going to respect even my wishes?!“Besides, this isn’t a place for you to act rashly!“Even if Naoto is wrong, he shouldn’t be punished this way!“Have you thought of the consequences of him being castrated?!“I
“Ever since we were little, you told me that you were going to make the Yorks from Hong Kong the top hidden family out of the five when we just met!“You said that you were going to become the only top talent of this generation!“You were going to rise to the peak and defeat every enemy in your path!“And after you grow up, you’d dominate the younger generation of Hong Kong and Las Vegas and steal the limelight!“I always regarded you as my elder brother—my hero!“But you won’t even stand up for me when I’m being taken advantage of by some Islander!“You even let them threaten me as they please!“Why did I even see you as my hero when I was a kid?!“You’re not my brother, Vince! You’re just a poser!“You only take advantage of the weak, and hide away like a wuss when you bump into some Islanders!“You embarrass me!“People still call you the legendary Head Coach when you look like this?!“Piss off!”Zina was as disappointed as when she admired Vince ever since she was a chi
Vince glanced at Naoto and the others calmly.Fifteen million dollars was just a number to him. It wasn’t a lot of money, and he wasn’t particularly interested in it either…But he admired Naoto’s attitude.He knew how to repay his favors. For Vince, this was someone worth being allies with.Besides, as someone from one of Six Schools of Martial Arts in the Island Nations, Naoto was quite the capable person. This was the main reason why Vince was willing to sell him the favor.That was why Vince didn’t reject his money. He considered it as a bridge between the two’s friendship.Vince wasn’t stupid either. After glancing at Naoto filled with interest, he asked, “Since you’re being so generous, I’m sure you must have other demands.”“I heard that Country H values etiquette highly. I see it now.”Naoto had a charming expression on his face.“Don’t you worry, Sir York. I won’t make it too hard for you.”“My term is simple: leave this man here for me.”“After all, I need him to g
After seeing Vince leave, Carol circled around Harvey while chuckling with her arms crossed.“Did you learn your lesson today, Sir York?”“Do you understand now that you shouldn’t just stand up for anyone in a place like Hong Kong or Las Vegas?”“Have you thought about the consequences?”Carol had an arrogant look on her face then.She didn’t think that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.She thought that she would be completely dominated by Harvey and disrespected by the Hamilton family then.But she didn’t know that Vince would pay this much respect toward her and Naoto.It was safe to say that the outsider, Harvey, was just really unlucky. He could’ve survived if he only bumped into Carol…But he had gotten involved with Vince instead.Even though Carol couldn’t see how Harvey posed a threat to Vince...She was a smart woman, so she could tell by Vince’s attitude…That he wanted Harvey dead!Since Vince wanted this, Carol was more than happy to oblige.Des
Cries of pain could be heard then. Naoto’s entire body was twitching as white foam seeped out of his mouth. He seemed like he was in deep pain, as if someone had stabbed him through the heart.The arrogant, heinous, and brutal Naoto was in agony.He could only scream and tremble using the last of his strength. He couldn’t even beg for mercy.A sight like this was way worse than death.“Young Master Takei!”“What’s going on here?!”“Does that kid know witchcraft?!”Carol and the Islanders were frightened stiff after seeing Naoto’s state.Harvey only snapped his fingers before Naoto even fell to the ground.Was it merely a coincidence? Or was Harvey really that powerful?The discreet Elder of the Shinkage Way showed a horrible look on his face as if he thought of something. He then rushed toward Naoto and covered up his chest with his right hand.That person’s name was Ryuichi Furuta. He was an Outer Elder of the Shinkage Way, and Naoto’s personal bodyguard.He was also quite
Ryuichi had already used up all of his tricks, but none proved to be useful.White foam had completely stopped seeping out of Naoto’s mouth. He didn’t even have the strength to shiver any longer. His breathing slowed down exponentially then.It seemed like he was on the verge of death.Carol was terrified. If the people of the Shinkage Way were to lash out because of Naoto’s death, Carol wouldn't be able to handle the consequences.Without a second thought, Carol bit the bullet despite her fear of Harvey.“I’ll give you exactly one minute! Cure Young Master Takei right now!”“If not, I’ll rip you to shreds!”“Oh really? I’d like to see how you’ll do that!”Harvey snapped his fingers once again.Naoto’s stiff body wriggled around violently after hearing the snap. His eyes popped out while blood seeped out of his orifices. He had a look of anguish on his face, as if he was going to stop breathing at any moment.Carol was horrified. She tried to threaten Harvey, but she wouldn’t
Who was Ryuichi Furuta?He was the Outer Elder of the Shinkage Way, and a legendary peak King of Arms. He was on the verge of becoming a God of War himself.But Edwin was just a rich playboy of the Mendoza family! Even Carol knew this.How did someone like that defeat a peak King of Arms in just a single move?Before the others even came back to their senses, Edwin calmly walked forward before swinging his sword once again, ready to cut anything blocking in his path in half.There were no fancy tricks involved in this cut, only speed.Just like how Harvey had taught him, no martial art was impenetrable, and only speed was the only way for long success.Ryuichi’s expression turned frantic. He tried to raise his sword and defend himself against Edwin’s cut.Clang!Ryuichi’s expression became worse immediately after the blades clashed.He took another few steps back before regaining his balance in front of Naoto.Everyone could see that blood was seeping out between Ryuichi’s f
