Jesse and Mabon sat face to face in Geraldton Hotel's presidential suite."You're the organizer and person in charge of the Wolsing Property Expo, Mr. Mabon," Jesse said as he took a sip of coffee. "From our investigation report, you're the one who informed the Thompsons about your event. I believe you can convince the Thompsons to let it go."I believe Mr. Harvey will prepare some form of compensation for the Thompsons. I hope no one will use this chance to kick up a storm when Wolsing is in a very sensitive period," Jesse said calmly, as if he was simply stating a fact.No one can change his attitude, even if the person sitting opposite of him was Mabon of the Wright family."I know you're the next in line to lead the Dragon Cell, Mr. Jesse. You're also the scion of the Xaviers of Wolsing. You're not someone I can offend when you have both identities. Ah, I forgot. You're also the student of the previous leader of the Dragon Guards, and you only went to Dragon Cell because of a
After a long moment of silence, Mabon finally sighed and said, "You're not planning to give me a way out of this, Mr. Jesse. I've already provided a statement according to what I've seen. I believe you'll all be very happy with this statement. "I've done everything I can, but now you're asking me to go to persuade the Thompsons? I don't think I can do that," Mabon said in a way that made him look powerless. "You can't force me to do the impossible."Jesse said, "I know what you're thinking. You think I'm ignoring the law just so I can help my sister. The truth is, you should have a basic understanding of who's right and who's wrong. Using that as a guide, I don't think there's anything wrong with my judgment today."Don't tell me you don't know what the situation is like right now. Wolsing can't fall into further chaos because of what happened recently. Not to mention, if the Thompsons go all out and fight Harvey until the end… I can tell you the ones who will lose won't be Harvey.
It was nine in the evening at the Wolsing International Airport.A luxury business jet bearing the flag of a particular nation quietly stopped in the corner of the airport without attracting any attention.The door opened and a group of men slowly disembarked from the jet.Leading them was a male islander with a slightly pale face.His facial features were all quite comely. He could even be considered quite handsome. He looked similar to a famous celebrity from his country. Other than being handsome, he also carried the same cold aura borne by the nobility from the island nations. One look was enough to make people feel uncomfortable.There were several men and women clad in robes behind him, their expressions cold.The robes they wore were all of different colors, representing the five classical elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.When it came to this, the islanders had mastered a majority of the knowledge they obtained from Country H.However, when the five of
A few minutes later, the Rolls-Royce Ghost started and followed behind the discreet vehicle.Inside the Ghost, Shingen was sitting face-to-face with the others. He lit up a cigar and gave it a huff before asking, "What's your view with the Xaviers' attitude in this?""Very strange," Mizukakushi said.She was a sensual woman with a figure typical of an Islander. She was also someone who could make it to the big screen. However, a woman like her was extremely sensitive to all kinds of information. She had found out many useful things when she was with Shingen.That was why Shingen instinctively asked for her opinion."Normally speaking, a huge family like the Xaviers of Wolsing wouldn't be unsophisticated. The young ladies from their families should have already been engaged with the sons from other similarly top families."However, they had contacted the Shinto Way not long ago and proposed a marriage for you. From what I gathered, the Xaviers didn't find a woman from a branch fam
Shingen nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. At the same time, he took out another cigar and started to smoke. After he was done with the first puff, he said, "You said these are all on the surface. Why don't you tell me what's under the shadows?"Mizukakushi nodded and said, "Maybe it's me being too suspicious, but I found out something the Xaviers had never told us. Yvonne has been working as Harvey's right-hand woman for a long time, and the two of them often appear together."In other words, Yvonne might have belonged to Harvey already. If you're going to steal his woman, he's going to go against you until the bitter end.""Harvey?" Shingen was slightly taken aback. "Why is this name so familiar to me?""Of course you're familiar with ut. He's the one who has ruined Shindan Way and Shinkage Way's plans in HK City. Even our men from Shinto Way in the outskirts have suffered in his hand. In other words, this man is our public enemy. Unfortunately, he's still living a good long
Only when the old man had put down the brush in his hand did Jesse take a step forward and say, "Sir, Mr. Shingen from the Shinto Way has arrived."The old man turned and let out a smile. "I am Nashon Xavier. I'm glad to finally meet you."Shingen smiled and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Nashon. I know what I'm capable of, so please stop teasing me."Shingen didn't want to waste his breath anymore, and immediately steered the conversation to the topic of the day."Since the Xavier family has invited me to Wolsing for a marriage proposal, I wonder if my possible fiancee is already here? I'm not exactly particular about this, but I don't believe I'm asking too much if I wish to see the woman who's going to be my wife earlier, right?""Of course not, of course not." Nashon laughed and waved his hand. "Jesse, ask your sister to come out here."Jesse smiled and left. After a while, Yvonne appeared in front of all of them while wearing a white traditional dress. She didn't wear any makeu
"Sir, while the blood of the Xavier family does flow within my veins, the Shaw family is the one that raised me. I'm afraid not even I can decide who to marry. Only the Shaws have the right to decide that for me. "It doesn't matter how I look at it. The Xaviers have no right to do this… Especially when you're asking me to marry an Islander. You're dreaming!"With that, Yvonne added determinedly, "You want me to marry him? Over my dead body!"When Nashon heard what Yvonne had to say, his expression darkened. "Yvonne, don't forget that this is part of our deal. The family has used our yearly privilege to assist you in helping that man and used our men in Dragon Cell to silence the critics. And now, you wish to turn your back on us?"I can make Harvey innocent, but I can also make him guilty. Whether he's innocent or guilty is in your hands. That's why I must ask you to reconsider before speaking another word."Yvonne spat coldly, "If I have to marry an Islander to make free Harve
"Shingen, is it?" Yvonne said as she took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "Of the Tokugawa family from the Island Nation? The Scion of Shinto Way, the leading school of the Six Schools? The top three of the Top Ten Young Islanders? Did these things give you such confidence and arrogance in our country?""Aren't these enough?" Shingen gave Yvonne a meaningful smile. "Since you know me that well, then you know these aren't all my strengths. If I reveal everything that I have, the entire world will shudder before me."Yvonne said coldly, "Go on, boast some more. Don't forget where you are right now. You're in the territory of the Xaviers of Wolsing, one of the top ten families in Wolsing. One of the most powerful factions in this country. You can kill us, but we will suffer any of your humiliation!"The eyes of some of the members of the Xavier family standing at the side flashed when they heard what Yvonne had to say. A few couldn't help but take a step forward, glaring a
