For a time, the situation was extremely tense.


    A glint of pride shed in Cory‘s eyes when he saw that his words were enough to shock the crowd.


    He gave a cold chuckle and waved his hand.


    “For the sake of your father, Grandma York, and the fact that you‘re my junior...”


    “I‘ll let you off the hook this time.”


    “I‘m giving you ten seconds to get out of here!”


    “If you don‘t, don‘t me me for killing you with my own two hands, even if we‘re blood–rted!”


    Cory waved his hand once more. The people from the head house instinctively stood up, prepared to


    move forward


    Julian , who stood in front of the crowd ,ughed coldly and took his men to step forward with him.


    Since he was already on Harvey‘s side , he had no choice but to fight till the bitter end.


    He was surprised to see Harvey was fooled into being the son–inw of the family, but he understood


    why Marcel would do something like this.


    If Queenie were to rise to power, she would probably be met with a lot of resistance.


    However, the oue would be different if a prominent figure that had juste to Hong Kong and


    Las Vegas were to rise in her ce.


    Besides, Julian knew that Harvey was incredibly powerful. If Harvey were to be the new lord of


    the family, then there might be a chance for the Yorks of Hong Kong to rise as the lowest of the five


    hidden families!


    The five hidden families were powerful ns with long histories!


    Even climbing a single rank was considered near impossible; only a top talent would be able to achieve


    such a feat.


    Cory saw Julian‘s men stopping his own, and his expression changed. He narrowed his eyes at Noah


    and eximed icily, “When did you join forces with an outsider, Third Brother?”


    “Aren‘t you scared of dying once you stand on the wrong


    side?”


    Noah slowly raised his teacup and replied calmly, “What are you talking about, Big Brother? I don‘t


    understand what you‘re saying.”


    “All I know is that Fourth Brother is the lord of the


    family.”


    “As long as he‘s in this position, I‘ll follow him to the ends of the earth, no matter what he says or


    does.”


    “If he wants to make his son–inw the new lord, then I‘ll support his decision whatever the cost.”


    “After all, the first rule of our family is to abide by the lord‘s decisions unconditionally!” “You don‘t think


    you‘re the king‘s father, are you?”


    “Did you forget about such a simple rule?”


    Noah shed Cory a faint smile.


    “Or are you saying that you‘re above that after all that smooth sailing?”


    “If I remember correctly, even the lord himself has no power to go against the rules.” “Not only are you


    trying to be the king‘s father, but you‘re also trying to be the king‘s grandfather?”


    Noah‘s simple yet harsh words were enough to make Cory show a heinous expression.


    “What‘s with all this nder, Third Brother?!”


    “If the lord wants to get himself a son–inw or make him the new lord, I have no objections!”


    Cory took a deep breath.


    “But this so–called son–inw has married!”


    “Do you want the family to have a son–inw who already has a damn wife?!”


    “Is this some sort of sick joke?!”


    “Just because you said so, doesn‘t mean that it‘s true,” Noah replied.


    “But I heard that he‘s already divorced?”


    “Don‘t tell me you‘re trying to be so pure as to reject a son–inw who‘s married once.”

    “When did you get so old–fashioned, Big Brother?”
