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
Tack tack tack!Harvey casually sent out a text while he moved forward. He came to the morgue that was located at the end of the hallway.There were two inspectors of Hong Kong Police Station standing at the doorway. They knew who Harvey was, so they nodded before letting Harvey inside.Leslie had put her hair up while wearing white medical gloves inside the morgue, showing her sleek neckline. When Harvey got closer, she was in the midst of carefully inspecting the wound on Naoto’s throat. Since she had all of her attention on Naoto’s body, she didn’t even realize that she was showing a lot of skin on her chest.Harvey calmed himself down before moving forward.“Leslie, why are you doing the coroners’ job for them? How are they supposed to react when they find out?”Leslie stopped what she was doing and glanced at Harvey. The simple gaze was filled with all the charm in the world.“An autopsy report has already been released. We’ve gathered all the evidence at the crime scene to
“Mr. York is my friend, Doctor. Please make an exception for him.”“Make an exception? I can’t do such a thing!”The forensic scientist scoffed coldly. After seeing the badge on Leslie’s chest, she froze slightly.“So you’re Ms. Clarke. But even so, you can’t start breaking the rules here! Itt’s fine if you want to let Mr. York in here, but he has to register for his entry first.”Harvey narrowed his eyes slightly before smiling warmly at the forensic scientist.“No problem. If that’s the case, I’ll head there right now. Where can I find the registration room?”The forensic scientist walked out of the door and pointed Harvey to the registration room.“It’s right there. There’s a sign outside. A doctor named Shaun Sorell will be in charge of registration. Just go look for him.”“Thanks, Doctor.”Harvey nodded before heading toward the empty hallway.After seeing Harvey leave, the forensic scientist then shifted her gaze toward the two inspectors.“Ow!”The forensic scientist
“Rest assured. I won’t make it hard for you. Young Lord York already warned us about it. Even though your family has already joined forces with Harvey, for Young Lord York’s sake, we can only take you hostage at most. We won’t hurt you one bit. That’s why you better cooperate with me. Don’t try to resist. If not, I’m sorry if I accidentally leave a scratch on your pretty face!”Rumiko calmly pulled out a dagger. She wanted to take Leslie down before using the chance to threaten Harvey.Swoosh!Right at this moment, a person rolled off Naoto’s body cart before stabbing Rumiko right in her stomach.Splat!Blood violently spurted out of Rumiko’s mouth before she instinctively moved backward. There was no time for her to even react to the situation. She never thought that there would be another person in the room other than Leslie and her.It was too late to regret her decision. She tried to run out of the morgue since there was no time for her to question Leslie.Slap!Another per
“That’s why I decided to send Toby a text. A sly old fox like him surely knows what to do in this situation. When you came here as a fake forensic scientist, I didn’t know if you were the killer or not, but I still kept a close eye on you. The rest is history.”Harvey seemed extremely casual about the whole situation.“No one tried to catch you off guard. You were just too stupid. You get me?”“You…”Rumiko was shocked. She didn’t think that Harvey saw through her well-laid plan from the start.Everything she did was nothing more than a circus show!“D*mn you!”Even though she was being looked down on, she didn’t back down at all. Enraged, she gritted her teeth tightly.“Not only did you kill my brother, but you also crippled me. Let me tell you something. My family will chase you down to the ends of the earth! Kill me now if you dare! If you don’t, I’ll bring an army to dispose of you next time! My family doesn’t tolerate humiliation! Come on! Kill me! Kill me right now!”Har
In the evening, at the Grand Hotel.The place was named the Grand Hotel, but it was in fact the only funeral parlor of Hong Kong. The place provided food, shelter, along with other services. Many villas were located there as well, primarily used to accommodate the dignitaries.After Naoto’s autopsy report was released, he was immediately sent here to occupy a spot in the corner of the courtyard.The courtyard was serene. The environment was truly a pleasing sight.After Naoto’s body was sent here, the entire family had been staying at the same place. Other than Maki and his two children, he also brought every single elite of the family over. Clearly, he was not going to rest until he brought justice for his dead son.Seven o’clock at night.A black Maybach quietly showed up in front of the courtyard, facing the mourning hall with white lanterns decorating the place. A few Briewood Gang elites walked out after the car doors opened. A grim young lady came out soon after.Even thou
Makoto’s tone was cold and distant. He caressed the longsword in front of him with his right hand.“This time, no matter how powerful the people standing behind him may be—no matter who he is and what he’s capable of, we’ll make sure that he gives us a fair statement! Harvey must die! The Takei family and the Shinkage Way will not let a hero spill his blood in vain!”Naturally, in Makoto’s eyes, Naoto was a hero.After hearing his words, the Islanders, who were kneeling on both sides of the mourning hall, had righteous and fierce expressions on their faces. Quite a lot of them were even wearing headbands with the word “revenge” on them. They seemed like they would not stop until Harvey was annihilated once and for all.Carol’s expression didn’t change after seeing the brimming hatred the Islanders had for Harvey. Deep down, she was elated. Not only was the Briewood Gang completely disrespected, the Lion King was killed off as well. It was safe to say that they suffered great losses
Makoto grabbed the document instantly before carefully reading the contents.“Tell the don that the Takei family will be friends with the Briewood Gang for the rest of our lives! It’s a shame that my father is resting upstairs out of grief. If not, he would’ve shown up to thank you himself! After this whole thing is over, we’ll surely visit the Briewood Gang!”Carol nodded slightly. She then leaned into Makoto’s ear and whispered, “I’m not just representing the Briewood Gang. I’m also here to give my condolences on Young Lord York’s behalf. He said that he’s unable to come since he has business to attend to. If the Shinkage Way is willing to be friends with him… All of your business within Hong Kong and Las Vegas will be greenlit.”Makoto’s eyes lit up brightly after hearing Vince’s name.He gazed into Carol’s eyes deeply before replying, “Please send word back to Young Lord York. In our eyes, the Yorks of Hong Kong are the true owners of Hong Kong and Las Vegas. Young Lord York is
