“I’m sure you know that Jason Leo’s making a strong comeback, yes?”
Toby Clarke did not intend to hide anything at all.
“Yes, I’m aware. I also know that he’s demanding all the wealthy families in Hong Kong to kill themselves in front of him within three days,” replied Harvey calmly.
“What? Are you planning to deal with this yourself?
“Are you going to mobilize the Hong Kong Police Station, or are you planning to call the South Light Military instead?”
Toby bitterly chuckled while shaking his head.
“Jason didn’t break any laws just yet. How am I supposed to use the government’s power on him then?
“Besides, he has the fourth princess of The Empire by his side. If I use the government to deal with him, many innocents will be involved…”
Harvey tilted his head slightly while squinting at Toby.
“So, you’re saying I should use the Dragon Palace or Longmen instead?”
“No.”
Answered Toby with a sigh.
“To be honest, half of me still belonged to The Empire before Hong Kong was taken back. I have met the fourth princess a few times.
“Of course, my heart has always been with Country H when Hong Kong was ours again.”
Harvey became curious.
“What? You’re going to convince the fourth princess so she’d leave?”
“I don’t know if she’ll do that, but I do want to see if I can ask her to convince Jason so he can bury the hatchet…
“No matter what kind of plan you have up your sleeve , I’m only asking that you delay it for now. Let me try to make peace with them first, alright?”
Harvey showed a faint smile. He knew that Toby was no ordinary man to be able to take the position as Hong Kong’s first-in-command…
But he did not expect that Toby would be this terrifying. Immediately after knowing that Harvey was planning to take action against Jason, Toby rushed here to do his job.
“How confident are you with this?”
Harvey calmly smiled.
“Seventy percent chance. Maybe even higher. After all, I had a pretty good relationship with the fourth princess back then.”
Toby showed a faint smile.
“The fourth princess, who’s half a descendant of Country H, was almost kicked out of the royal family. I did quite a lot to ensure she would remain inside the family.
“If it weren’t for the wealthy families begging The Empire for a fair statement…
“If it weren’t for the support from the families toward the fourth princess…
“She might’ve been kicked out of the royal family by then and probably have a fate worse than a beggar on the street.
“I was still pretty young at that point, and I was barely considered a knight to protect the princess , mediating with powerful characters from all sides and giving helpful suggestions. I’m at least worth something to the fourth princess.
“Even if I had no grand achievements, I still worked really hard for her.
“She’d at least pay her respects to me.”
Harvey smiled without making a noise.
“Governor Clarke, do you really think that she’ll remember the things you’ve done for her back then?
“Don’t forget. You’re no longer the young knight from before. You’re currently Hong Kong’s first-in-command. “Both you and the fourth princess are serving two different people at this point.
“Besides…
“You feel like you’ve done so much for her, but she might think of you as just a servant. She might’ve forgotten about the things you’ve done for her already.
“As a friend, I must warn you. She might just give you the cold shoulder.”
