Harvey chuckled calmly before taking another sip of his Black Tea.Seeing all the convincing down the drain, Aurora’s body shook even harder.“Sir York, I know you and your men have poison that can control people!”“Why don’t you poison me as well? That way, I’ll never betray you!”“I have no way out! If I don’t work with you and I don’t get your protection, I’d get hit by a car as soon as I walk out of here!”“It’s not that I don’t want to give you anything, Sir York! I just don’t know what to give!”“First of all,” Harvey said calmly. “I don’t have any poison like that. Even if I did, what makes you think that I’d use the poison on you, especially when your life can’t compare to anything?”“Second of all, people change. Traitors to their own country like you change even quicker.”“Why should I protect you in the first place, especially if you don’t swear your allegiance to me?”“Do you think it’s so I can deal with Mateo?”“Is your life needed for me to do that?”“So I’m g

“Well? How’s my proof of allegiance?”“If this is good enough, do you mind telling me how you’re going to protect me?”Aurora shot Harvey a scornful glare. If this wasn’t a life-or-death situation, she wouldn’t have spilled the beans that easily.Now that she had done it, she had betrayed both Jason and Mateo. From then onward, she had no choice but to follow this path to the bitter end.“It’s not hard to protect you,” Harvey said.“For example: that van driver there belongs to the Nanyang Gang.”“The inspectors that passed by are from the Clarke family.”“They all belong to me.”“B*stard!”Aurora froze before standing back up and pointing a shaky finger at Harvey, fury written all over her face.When she was done venting out her anger, she let out a sigh and fell back to her chair, distraught.The moment she gave out all that information, there was no way back.Looking at Aurora’s expression, Harvey took out a pill and set it in front of her.“I spent a lot of money buyin

After Mateo left, Harvey entered the ward dressed in a long white coat and a face mask.Aurora was basically half-dead at first, but she was filled with energy the moment she saw Harvey and sat up immediately.“I did everything you asked me to.”“Aren’t you supposed to fulfill your end of the deal?”“I think you better make me another identity and get me a safe place to hide in.”“If not, I’d be killed sooner or later.”Aurora was fraught with worry. Naturally, she could feel the murderous intent coming from Mateo when he was here a few minutes ago.“It’s so hard being the good guy in this day and age,” Harvey said.“You betrayed your country by slandering it on social media, but you’re not afraid at all.”“You know the people here are usually lenient about it…”“But after giving out some information about The Empire, you’re so scared you’re desperately trying to run away?”“What kind of double standard is that?”Aurora’s eyes twitched frantically. She knew her attitude was

Harvey narrowed his eyes slightly before asking quietly, “Do you know the answer to that question?”Aurora sighed.“Whether the Leo family admits it or not, they still belong to The Empire. I don’t know about the other families, though.”“I didn’t think you’d know more than I do,” Harvey mused.“Think closely. See if you missed out on anything.”“I don’t know when you’ll see me again.”“If there’s something you’re still hiding, it might not be worth anything after time passes.”Aurora’s expression didn’t change whatsoever despite Harvey’s words.“I can only think of this much for now. I told you all this without asking for something in return to prove to you that I’m still of use…” she said quietly, all the while looking into Harvey’s eyes.“If you treat me well, I might be able to think of something else.”“For example: I heard that Jason and Vince are sworn brothers.”“Two brothers as Gods of War. They’re basically invincible!”Harvey’s gaze grew stern. Then, he grinned.

Soon, many people dressed in traditional clothing showed up in Mateo’s peripheral vision.A woman in royal clothing, accompanied by a casual-looking young man, was standing in the middle of the crowd.The woman’s face was exquisite. She looked like a mixed-race; her nose bridge was quite tall, and her eyes were as beautiful as a painting. Her face mask gave her a mysterious yet enchanting appearance.She was none other than the fourth successor of The Empire’s royalty, the fourth princess.The person behind her was a handsome man who was around five foot nine, with a face as sharp as a blade.He looked incredibly charming, but a heinous feeling could be felt all over him. The sensation pushed the people around him on the verge of kneeling.He was the baron of The Empire, the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, and the God of War: Jason Leo!Jason glanced at his surroundings calmly before pulling out a thin and long cigar and lighting it up casually.Mateo strutted forward
