“You must be kidding, Sir York.
“We don’t even know who Akio Yashiro‘s master is.
“Even if we do, since he‘s the previous sovereign, surely he‘s a God of War and also a Sword Saint, to say the least, right?
“How did you even manage to get a hold of a person like that in just a single day?
“You weren‘t even outside of Hong Kong! You didn‘t leave at all!”
“I didn‘t look for him. He came for me, so I took care of him.
“You also know him.
“He‘s Jacknife , the man who hid behind Grandma York for many years now.”
Julian York froze after hearing that name before he showed utter disbelief.
Jacknife was one of Grandma York‘s most trusted subordinates. He had dealt with countless people who defied Grandma York publicly and secretly.
He was also one of Vince York‘s most loyal supporters and was the main source of power for his troops.
But, he was also the former sovereign of the Shindan Way
Even Julian, who had a pretty open mind, could not believe what he had just heard.
“Why would I lie to you about this?”
Harvey York patted Julian‘s shoulder.
“The Islanders still had Jacknife. That was why they were reluctant to take action before this.
“But now that he‘s dead, surely they‘d be scared of us prying Akio‘s mouth open to extract information about what happened a decade ago.
“That‘s why they‘ll use all their might to rescue Akio or kill him entirely.
“There are at least a hundred more Islander experts outside.
“Keep your guard up.
“If you keep up the good work, it‘ll also be considered a great achievement.”
“I got it. The Sentries of York will all be dispatched soon.”
Julian took a deep breath.
He naturally understood how important it was for Akio to survive until Grandma York‘s birthday banquet.
If he could ensure that, Marcel York would naturally credit him for his hard work.
After pointing out a few suspected hiding spots for the Islanders, Harvey then patted Julian‘s shoulder again before getting on the elevator to the top floor. Then he reached Akio‘s room soon after.
Dozens of people have this place completely surrounded. Not even a fly could get inside without being spotted.
Akio was completely strapped to his bed with an IV drip attached, ensuring he would survive.
The news was playing on the TV in front of him so he would not kill himself out of boredom.
Harvey calmly smiled when he saw the sight.
Marcel did not get anyone to cripple Akio completely, but his IV drip had quite a lot of sedatives mixed inside.
This was enough for an expert like Akio to remain still. He did not even have the strength to stand up at this moment.
Akio alone would never be able to get out of this place.
“Good afternoon, Sir York. What brings you here today?”
Akio opened his eyes after sensing that someone else was inside the room. A forced smile could be seen on his face after that.
“You people are so weird. “You dragged me here all the way from the Island Nations, but you‘re not even asking any questions , nor are you planning to kill me. “What‘s the point of keeping me here?
“Can‘t you be a little more straightforward?”
