At Harvey‘s words, Noah‘s face darkened instantly.


    “You must be joking, Sir York,” he replied after a forcedugh.


    “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 ng 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 thetter on the shoulder Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “No one here is stupid, Third Lord York,” he began.


    “It‘s fine if you want to use me.”


    “But you better be ready to pay the price.”


    “You don‘t have the right to reap the rewards if you just sit in the back and do nothing while everything


    goes on.”


    Harvey turned around and left soon after.


    Julian finally let out a breath of air, only daring to breathe after Harvey turned away. He stared numbly


    after Harvey‘s disappearing back.


    Noah had only talked to Harvey for a brief moment, but Harvey‘s dominance was already quite


    apparent in that short span of time.


    When Noah sat back down, Julian said quietly, “I don‘t understand, Father.”


    “Judging from the current situation, we could‘ve just sat back regardless if we‘re trying to climb the


    ranks or otherwise.”


    “Why would you ask Harvey toe here all of a sudden?”


    “Grandma York demanded that Harvey leave the ce within twenty–four hours.”


    “If she knows that you asked to see Harvey at such a crucial time...”


    “Your rtionship with Grandma York will surely worsen!”


    “After all, anyone could tell that he‘s Marcel‘s weapon right now. Harvey‘s cutting down anyone who


    disobeys Marcel!”


    “I can get close to Harvey, since Fourth Uncle ordered me to do


    so.”


    “But if you get involved...”


    Julian frowned. He couldn‘t wrap his mind as to why his father would look up to Harvey.


    Not only did his father invite Harvey here, but the man was also desperately trying to bury the hatchet.


    Did Noah really think that Harvey could go against Grandma York and Jacknife?


    “You fool!”


    Noah sat down, annoyed, and took a sip of his tea.


    “Do you still not get it?”


    “Everyone‘s intentions are already revealed in this fight.”


    “We don‘t have as much strength as the second house. We can‘t just remain neutral when a big fight‘s


    about to happen!”


    “Sometimes, the people in the most danger are the ones that don‘t make a decision rather than the


    ones who are already fighting.”


    “What if both sides decide to join forces and deal with us first?”


    “If we remain neutral, we’ll be a threat to everyone!”


    “At this point, we have to pick a side even if we don‘t want to...”


    “Our stance is already quite apparent, especially because of you running all the way to the Ind


    Nations.”


    “Now that things have turned out this way, it‘s only natural to get closer to Harvey.”
