Chapter 3008
At Harvey’s words, Noah’s face darkened instantly.“You must be joking, Sir York,” he replied after a forced laugh.“A man like me won’t even think that far ahead!”“I already told Julian to stop entertaining such thoughts after finding out that Fourth Brother is supporting Queenie.”“I didn't have any other intentions when I called you here today.”“I’m only here to wish for your smooth sailing in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.”“After all, the third house is siding with Fourth Brother at this point.”“Am I wrong?”Harvey stood up and flicked the tea cup in his hand.A loud clang resonated, and a well-hidden gun barrel on the roof of the other building appeared instantly after.Someone was controlling the gun remotely using high-tech equipment.Noah’s expression changed frantically when he realized what had just happened.There was no hiding from Harvey at all!Harvey smiled softly at Noah before going up to pat the latter on the shoulder.“No one here is stupid, Third Lo
Chapter 3009
Noah took another sip of his tea before continuing to speak. “Judging from the current situation, the Yorks of Hong Kong are basically fighting against each other at this point.”“One side represents Fourth Brother’s forces. Out of the entire family, they have the most resources. They also wield the most authority right now.”“They’re only using the incident ten years ago as a pretense to take down Vince.”“Only then will Queenie be able to climb the ranks.”“Fourth Brother will stay as the lord of the family for a few more years.”“Meanwhile, the other side represents those under Grandma York.”“Do you really think she admires and cares for Vince without restraint?”“This isn’t true.”“Grandma York loves your eldest uncle the most, but why did she let your fourth uncle take position as the lord of the family instead?”“And even though Grandma York loves Vince, his values and abilities don't seem all too impressive to me.”“It’s all because he’s the eldest grandson of the Yor

“Alright! Enough talk.”Noah let out a sigh. After lecturing Julian, he changed the subject.“Even though your fourth uncle was the one who gave the order to raid the Island Nations…”“You and the Sentries of York were the ones fighting on the front lines.”“It’ll be greatly beneficial to you if you’re the one taking credit for this mission.”“I’m afraid you’ll have to talk to Harvey about this.”“If he’s willing to let you take credit for this, you’ll have a great achievement under your belt.”“Of course, if he doesn’t want to, don’t try to force him.”“Since we chose to side with your fourth uncle for now, we shouldn’t get on Harvey’s bad side either. Do you understand?”“I got it, Father. Don’t worry,” Julian said, smiling. “Actually, we’ve talked about this before.”“Sir York said he was just a supervisor, and that I was the one doing most of the work.”“He doesn’t care about any of it. The credit’s all mine.”Julian was grinning from ear to ear, pleased with himself

Noah shot an icy glare at the person who had just barged in.“How many times have I told you?!”“We need patience to achieve great things!”“B-But…”The man was in utter distress.“You useless filth!” Noah yelled.“What is it? Speak up!”The man hurriedly turned on his phone and showed them the news headline.“The important guest of the Yorks of Hong Kong and the city’s man of the hour, Harvey York, has raided the Island Nations and took down the culprit from the terrible incident ten years ago!”The title was only in a plain black text, but it was enough to shine the light on many problems from Hong Kong and Las Vegas’s current situation.Julian’s face instantly darkened at this.“That b*stard!”“That was supposed to be my achievement!”“Now everything’s ruined!”“Someone’s planning to keep me down my entire life!”“Talk! Who did this?!”Julian was boiling with anger, fury seeping out of his every pore. His calm demeanor earlier was completely gone.He was planning to

Kaitlyn’s tone was calm, but her words pierced through Julian’s heart like sharp daggers.At this very moment, Julian was forced into a corner.He wouldn’t dare admit that he wanted to take Vince’s place in front of the latter’s face.Even so, he couldn’t blurt out that he was scared of Vince in front of so many people. In the end, he kept mum and said nothing.The air between them was tense, the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife.Matthew and Quinton exchanged glances, smiling at one another as they watched the scene before them unfold. They knew their little tricks had no use to Vince, but…They were still hoping for a slim chance it might happen.If Julian could disrupt Vince’s circle and sow discord among everyone, they would probably get the opportunity to take Vunce’s position.Julian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.He narrowed his eyes at Vince before saying quietly, “It’s my fault for barging in here so suddenly, Young Lord York.”“How
Chapter 3013
Even though Julian had already made sure that Vince was the culprit behind the news headline through his sources…In his heart, he still clung to a faint hope.He still thought of Vince as a prominent figure with an open mind. Surely Vince wouldn’t resort to something this petty!Although Vince was most likely the person who did this, Julian still hoped that Vince would deny the claim.But Vince, who was being glared at so fiercely by Julian, shrugged and casually threw the laptop on the table.“That’s right. I did this.”“I was the one who told Hong Kong Daily News everything, details and all.”“Even the manuscript and title were reviewed by me.”“Oh, and let me tell you another thing. I bought out all the papers for today. All of Hong Kong knows about this by now.”“But it’s only natural. There’s no need to hide the truth now, is there?”Seeing Vince’s righteous smile, a hint of disdain flashed in Julian’s eyes.“Why are you doing this, Vince?” Julian asked coldly.“What
Chapter 3014
A prideful smile hung on Vince’s lips. He looked as if he was doing the right thing.Julian wanted nothing more than to slap Vince in the face, but he managed to hold himself back.Ellis chuckled at them from behind.“Let me give you another piece of information, Julian.”“Just now, the Five Royal Gates and the remaining Five Schools of Martial Arts have already gathered in Kyoto to hold an oath-taking rally in the royal palace.”“They’re going to seek out those who are involved in the Shindan Way’s incident. This time, they’re not going to hold back!”“This time, Young Lord York’s plans saved your life!”“You better thank him properly! You would’ve been dead if it weren’t for him.”“Even worse, the Yorks of Hong Kong would be chased down by the Islanders!”“Young Lord York had to clean up after your damn mess! He did so much for you…”“Yet here you are, questioning him.”“We’re disappointed in you, Julian!”Upon seeing everyone’s smug self-righteousness, Julian took a deep

“Besides, it’s not like Young Lord York slandered you or anything. All he did was tell the truth. It’s for your own good, you know.”“Capturing Akio is an immense achievement, yes.”“But only Harvey would be able to do such a thing.”“If you get exposed for stealing someone else’s credit, you’ll be in deep trouble!”“You’ll risk the Islanders taking revenge against you and be scorned by the people!”“Don’t you think it’s dangerous?”“Young Lord York is only covering for you since you’re still young, Julian. There are still some things that you can’t handle on your own.”“Don’t think that he’s trying to keep you down here.”“This is all for your sake!”Everyone looked at Julian with haughty righteousness, as though they were in the right.By this point, they had already tied Julian down.Before Queenie showed up, some of these people might’ve had other motives.But after she showed up, she gained complete control over Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Aside from working under Vince,
