Chapter 2520
Woosh, woosh, woosh!The sound of the branches penetrating the wind rang.Leslie seemed to have anticipated this and remained composed, indifferent to everything. She turned to look sarcastically at Harvey, keen to see him panicking over the sudden hectic situation.However, Harvey let her down.Harvey stood indifferently, his hands behind his back as he let the branches fly past him before landing behind him.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Toby, who wasn’t far away. This seemingly random test showcased Toby’s unknown prowess!What a character!While Harvey was thinking of this, Toby had already taken off the sunglasses and handed it over to his wife, Lady Clarke.He then took out a towel and wiped his palm. His speech carried a small hint of Hong Kong and Taiwan accent. “Not bad! Not bad!”“You’re so composed!”“With such a sturdy mentality despite your youth, it’s no wonder you could make me suffer a huge loss last night.”“Now, it seems that I really deserve it.

Toby felt resentful. He kept using more strength to the point where he used ninety percent of his power…But he soon realized that his power had no effect whatsoever. It started to hurt in between his fingers, as if something was being torn apart.“Not bad. Not bad at all.”Toby stopped testing Harvey’s strength immediately after.After sizing Harvey up, he said, “Not only are you extremely clever, but your skills and mentality are also one above the rest. You’ve completely bested me this time!”Toby made a gesture after that. His servants quickly moved two chairs and a table to their side.After making a gesture for Harvey to sit, Toby then poured a cup of tea for him before exquisite Hong Kong-styled pastries were served.Leslie was slightly confused. She didn’t think that her father would treat Harvey this well.This breakfast meeting should’ve been a trap for Harvey, but it turned into a long-awaited gathering all of a sudden.Toby sipped his aged black tea while glancing

“Secondly, rumors have been spreading outside about the Yorks of Hong Kong and the Briewood Gang constantly pressuring Governor Clarke. Right now, everyone’s watching the show. If there are any signs of you falling off your position, these people will surely find a way to bring you down. Hence, you’re using this meal to tell everyone that not only are you still in position, but you’re also going to be here for a very long time.“Finally, you’re looking for an ally. After all, not only did I deal with Dragon Palace’s branch after coming to Hong Kong and Las Vegas, but I also forced Vince’s hand a few times. That’s why you want to see how far I’ve gotten, and if I’m worth joining forces with you.”Leslie was slightly surprised after hearing Harvey’s explanation.She didn’t think that her father was under this much pressure last night to the point where he would need an outsider to explain the situation.At the same time, she was utterly shocked by Harvey’s intelligence and insight to

At noon, Harvey walked out of the garden villa while rubbing his stomach.Toby personally walked him out.The entire family was completely shocked after seeing the sight.Governor Clarke, a man known for being reclusive and mysterious, had actually offered to walk a guest out on his own?What sort of charm did Harvey have exactly?The members of the Clarke family couldn’t help but glance at Harvey, already plotting schemes to get close to him.In their eyes, the ones that Toby looked up to were clearly remarkable people.After Toby headed back to the hall, Leslie, who was clearly annoyed, brought him a cup of coffee.“I understand why you asked Harvey here, Father, but can’t we just let someone else send the signal? Why are you making such a big show to the point where you’re expressing your support for him? If the Yorks of Hong Kong receive word about this, they won’t be happy about us. They’re basically kings of Hong Kong and Las Vegas! If we go against them, we’ll be in big

“Even if you ignore his achievements back in Country H, think about the things he did in a span of a few days after coming to Hong Kong and Las Vegas! Because of him, Las Vegas’ situation turned upside down! The Hamilton family aren’t kings anymore! Even though the Mendoza family didn’t make peace with the Hamilton family, both families are now standing behind Harvey!“The moment Harvey got Yoana into the position as the helm of Dragon Palace’s branch, their entire family has no choice but to follow him till the end. Also, regardless of what Fabian is thinking, Harvey did rescue his precious daughter last night. Remember, Fabian values his reputation, not to mention that Harvey has already saved him twice in a row…“It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to stand against Harvey now, would it? With the support of these two families, Harvey is this close to gaining complete authority in Las Vegas. After hearing all this, do you still think he’s just an ordinary person?”Leslie pondered ov

The person swallowed nervously and continued talking. “That’s right. Not only that, but they also discovered a blade mark on his throat too. Their initial speculation for the weapon behind the mark is a blade. They’re still looking for other clues at the moment. However, as of now, everything they had gathered so far coupled with last night’s incident paints Harvey as the culprit.”Toby’s expression slightly changed. He knew that the Yorks of Hong Kong would take action, but he didn’t think that it would be so soon. He was planning to give Harvey a Good Citizen Award, but the Yorks were trying to charge the latter with murder. Judging from Toby’s understanding toward the Yorks and Vince, they would surely go all out if they decided to do something.Simply put, Harvey would surely be blamed for Naoto’s death.Even if Toby were to testify otherwise, there would be no use. They would have enough evidence to solidify Harvey’s charge at that point.Toby rubbed on his forehead before s

Leslie completely ignored Kaitlyn’s provocation. She resorted to staring at Vince, who was calmly sipping his tea, with a dark look on her face.“I’d like to ask you something, Young Lord Vince.”“Are you taking me back to the police station? I already told you everything last night. I just happened to be there. Besides, I mediated the conflict for the sake of Hong Kong’s safety. Even if you don’t give me a Good Citizen Award, you can’t just keep trying to defame me now, can you?”If it were any other occasion, Leslie would’ve dropped the conversation after hearing the rage in Vince’s words, but it was different that day. She took a deep breath and said, “Young Lord York, I’m here to ask you why you killed Naoto and framed Harvey for it.”“Naoto’s dead?”Confusion showed on Vince’s face. He didn’t seem like he was pretending at all.“Didn’t I get the doctors from my family to treat him at Edward Hospital last night? How did he even die?”Leslie looked at Vince closely for a lo

But no matter the status, it didn’t matter at this very moment. Ellis stood up with a smile on his face.“Don’t worry, Young Lord York. We’ve contacted the Shinkage Way through my family’s connections. I heard that the Elder of the Shinkage Way, Maki Takei, will arrive here at night along with his son and daughter, Makoto and Rumiko Takei. They’ll surely seek justice for their loved one, Naoto.”Vince let out a deceitful sigh.“Sigh. This is just unfair. The government wouldn’t even enforce the law these days. Us citizens will have to rely on ourselves. We have truly let down our friends from the Island Nations! Receive our important guests in my place, Ellis. Give them whatever they ask for. Of course, make sure that you’re clean. Don’t leave any trails behind.”Ellis narrowed his eyes in return.“Of course, Young Lord York. The Parson family makes a living out of water transportation. Even if some things were to leak out, there won’t be any traces leading back to us.”Vince nod
