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 Yorks of Hong Kong!”
“To begin with, Fourth Brother has no heir.”
“Grandma York wants authority to remain within the family, and not in the hands of outsiders.”
“After all, Queenie is just an outsider to the family!”
“Harvey represents the outside forces of Hong Kong and Las Vegas, and also the one who supports Queenie’s rise the most.”
“Grandma York wants Harvey out of the borders because she wants to remove Queenie’s best support. With this, it’ll be easier for Vince to rise.”
Julian nodded, but he soon frowned.
“Are you sure Harvey’s really that impressive, Father?”
“Didn’t you already have an answer after last night’s mission?” Noah asked him coldly.
“In reality, last night’s mission was also Fourth Brother’s test for him. If he can’t even deal with something so simple…”
“Then what right does he have to be Marcel’s weapon?”
“Since he’s proved himself worthy to Marcel…”
“We, the third house, should make a stance as quickly as possible.”
“If we don’t, we won’t have anything to gain when everything’s all set and done.”
“That’s why I wanted to meet Harvey as soon as I could.”
“Even if I’ve provoked Grandma York’s wrath by doing this, there are some things that just can’t be delayed.”
Julian sighed.
“Still, things just seem a little unexpected to me.”
“Why don’t we just stand with Vince instead?”
“Judging from the current situation, they seem more likely to win.”
Noah let out an icy laugh.
“You’re too naive.”
“Firstly, they’re not as likely to win as you think. Have you counted the amount of Vince’s subordinates Harvey has cut down after he arrived in Hong Kong and Las Vegas to this very day?”
“Secondly, even if Vince is more likely to win, what do you have to gain out of him?”
“You’re a proper descendant of the Yorks of Hong Kong, standing on Queenie’s side.”
“If a proper descendant of the family is needed in the future, you’ll be first in line to take the position!”
Noah stepped forward and patted Julian on the shoulder.
“You need to look a little further, son. Don’t be blinded by the short–term interests dangling in front of you.”
“I can endure a slap in the face if it means that we’ll have a brighter future.”
“So what if I offend Grandma York for you to have a chance to rise to power?”
