Harvey York's Rise to Power

After the commotion ended, nobody knew what Nashon was thinking. He signaled Jesse to invite Harvey into the

residence.

Mr. Tokugawa had also recovered his composure during this time.

He gave Harvey a meaningful look and nodded before walking into the residence with the protection of the

Xavier family's bodyguard.

Once they were inside the residence, Harvey couldn't see Nashon immediately. Instead, he was led to a sitting

room.

A maid prepared a pot of coffee for him before quickly leaving. No one cto check on him in the next half an

hour.

Harvey didn't mind; he simply enjoyed the coffee and played with his phone. He acted like he was treating this

as his home.

After about forty minutes had passed, the door to the sitting room was pushed open. Harvey saw Nashon, who

had changed into a traditional garb, entering.

He nodded at Harvey before sitting down at the opposite and looking at Harvey with interest.

Harvey wasn't going to underestimate the leader of the Xaviers; similarly, he narrowed his eyes and looked at

Nashon. Nashon was the head of one of the top ten families, after all. Compared to his imposing stance outside

just now, Nashon felt like an ordinary old man right now.

After a moment of silence, Harvey said, "Greetings, Mr. Nashon.

The reason I'm here is because..."

Before Harvey could finish his words, Nashon had already waved his hand and stopped him.

"Before we continue this conversation, I need to confirm one thing. Are you here simply paying an old man a

visit, or are you here to questionas the scion of the Longmen Association, the representative of Country H

Martial Arts Alliance, or Prince York of South Light?*

"Is there a difference?’ Harvey asked with a slight frown.

"Of course there is, and the difference is vast," Nashon said as he poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip.

"When you're the scion of the Longmen Association, you present yourself as the scion from one of the Four Pillars noveldrama

of our country.

Your authority knows no bounds.

'When you're the representative of our country's Martial Arts Alliance, you present yourself as the master of the

Sacred Martial Arts Training Ground and all the glory it implies.

'When you're Prince York of South Light, it means you can one day inherit the position that allows you to

command the Yorks of HL Casino.

"To be honest, if you're going to use all these identities and visit US... I won't dare to cross you when you're a

member of the Four Pillars and the Five Hidden Families and whatnot."

Harvey nodded. "You're right. Now that you know sof my identities, will you believeif I tell you I'm

paying you a visit as your junior?"

"I do. Not only will I believe you, I might even reveal sof my secrets to you," Nashon said with a smile.

"If I'm correct, this is the first twe've met each other. Are you going to tellabout your secrets during our

first meeting? Will you believe it yourself?' Harvey asked as he took a sip of coffee.

Nashon revealed a smile.

"I will, because why not? No matter how it looks, you're going to reach the apex of power in this country. I would

rather be truthful to you instead of putting up an act. However, there's something I need to remind you.

Sometimes, having too many identities is quite risky in itself."
