“You…”Cory was so enraged that he was rendered speechless.When he was about to say something, a calm and dignified voice cut him off.“Why haven’t I known about such a thing?”“Did you ask for my permission?”“Or are you saying that my words mean nothing to you?”The crowd spread out to both sides in an instant.In the deepest part of the hall, Grandma York was seen clad in a white robe, surrounded by a dozen people.Her face was quite skinny, but she still looked elegant. Her beauty from her youth was still apparent even at her current age.She also carried a terrifying aura that seeped out of her body, giving others the urge to kneel after taking just one glance at her.In the crowd with Grandma York, there was an equally calm man in a green robe.He was none other than Walter York, the second lord of the family.He had been obsessed with martial arts, but he had yet to show that side of him. His head was raised up high; he seemed quite powerful, as if he could kill a b

Noah chuckled bitterly.“Even if you’re going to take my position away, I have to tell you everything!”“Fourth Brother has finally let go of what happened ten years ago. He’s ready to live a new life!”“This is a great thing for the Yorks of Hong Kong!”“All he wants right now is for his daughter to marry a good man—one of unparalleled talent!”“This is only natural!”“Can’t you just fulfill Fourth Brother’s only wish?”“Shut your mouth!”Grandma York took a step forward, her face frosty. “I may be eighty years old, but I’m no idiot!”“I don’t care if he wants a dependable son-in-law!”“But do you really think you can just make him climb the ranks of the family in this way?”“Keep dreaming!”“The Yorks of Hong Kong will only accept direct descendants of the family!”“This is our legacy!”“That is an undeniable fact!”“That is a rule that our family set in stone!”“Whoever that disobeys will be killed without mercy!”“Even if the lord himself violates this rule, he’l

The crowd trembled at those words.Everyone was reminded that Marcel did in fact have the right to appoint whoever he wanted as the new young lord.Even though Vince was known as the young lord of the family, he had never been acknowledged by Marcel since the very beginning.This was the reason why Vince wanted to be Marcel’s son.Vince’s dream would never come true if Marcel didn’t acknowledge him.He could attain the chance to rise to power only if Marcel took him under his wing.Recently, Vince felt that Marcel was using Queenie to fight him.He had suffered some losses before, but he wasn’t too worried.After all, in his eyes, Grandma York would never let a woman take the position of the young lord.Not just Grandma York, the higher-ups of the family wouldn’t agree to that decision either.But just then, Selena declared that she wanted Harvey to be her son-in-law and for him to climb the ranks.Anxiety filled Vince at that very moment.He knew just how capable Harvey wa

Members of the third and fourth house exchanged wary glances with each other, as if they were planning to run away.Naturally, they were all terrified of Grandma York’s wrath. Vince and the others let out a sigh of relief at her attitude.As long as Grandma York was on their side, Vince’s position was set in stone.The chaos eventually subsided.Everyone sighed; Marcel did so much to put on such a big show, but it was all shut down so easily.As expected from Grandma York!Right at this moment, Marcel took a step forward and stood in front of Harvey.Grandma York’s expression changed instantly. She slammed her cane to the ground angrily.“Marcel!” she exclaimed, furious.“What’s the meaning of this?!”“The others are trying to go against us, forcing an outsider to become the young lord and turn our family into history!”“But as the lord of the family, forget dealing with the situation, you’re trying to do exactly what they want!”“Have you gone insane?!”“I should consid

Selena was fast; her movements were no different than the speed of lightning.In just a single moment, her blade made its way toward Walter’s face before he could even react.Grandma York’s expression changed instantly. She didn’t think his son, who was so obsessed with martial arts, couldn’t even take a single blow against Selena.At this, she quickly took a step forward and swung her cane.Selena was caught off guard and received a painful smack on the back. She didn’t expect Grandma York to be so shameless as to actually strike her from the back.Selena swallowed the blood that threatened to spill out of her and raised her speed, moving faster than before. Walter got smacked in the face with her blade very soon after.Selena still had respect for her family; she only used the back of her blade as she attacked him.But Walter was still sent flying before finally smashing into the ground. It was a wretched sight.The crowd couldn’t help but gasp in fear. It was a truly terrify
