Chapter 5352
“I’m sorry, Harvey,” Arlet said quietly. “The situation’s pretty tense right now, but I still went on to have a meal with the Islanders…”
Harvey shook his head.
“You’re not to blame for this. They were planning to come at you, anyway. You didn’t know that they were plotting against you either.
“If they couldn’t take advantage of you, they’d do it to someone else.
“From a certain perspective, it’s good that everything played out this way. At least we’ve made sure that the Johns and the Islanders are deeply involved with each other.”
Harvey chuckled coldly.
“Evermore and the Island Nations… Looks like the Johns have everyone under their belt!”
Arlet’s face darkened instantly; she clearly didn’t like the way Harvey used those words. That said, it seemed quite appropriate for the Johns.
After reading the documents on the phone, Watson spoke up again.
“This is really bad, Harvey. The Braff family has to leave Golden Sands soon. You need to be careful; the government won’t be helping you after this.”
Harvey nodded.
“Don’t worry. If the John family’s shameless enough to side with the Islanders against me… Then I won’t hold back either.
“They’d have to remain cautious after getting themselves into trouble like this. This might not be a good thing for them. After all, misfortune comes after blessing.”
Watson nodded.
“No matter what happens in the future, the John family would be discreet for the time being, since Damon’s here as the new first-in-command.
“If he doesn’t put up a front as an honest and just figure…
“He wouldn’t be able to give the royal court an explanation either.
“Not only is the John family working with Evermore, but they’ve been scheming with the Island Nations as well… This is bad.”
“It doesn’t matter; I don’t mind either way,” Harvey replied.
Watson tapped Harvey’s hand.
“You should know just how terrifying Evermore is, Harvey.
“I know you’ve gone against the Tsuchimikado family before as well…
“But you shouldn’t be careless.
“The Tsuchimikado family are descendants of Master Abe.
“Out of the Five Royal Families, they might not be the strongest, but they’re definitely the most mysterious and long-lasting one.
“I heard the family would still abide by some ancient rules
“But after Ibuki’s rise, the family started to become unscrupulous. If this was before, they wouldn’t come all the way to Golden Sands to cause trouble.
“In any case, Yamato might be easy for you to deal with, but Ibuki’s definitely not the case.”
Harvey felt curious. “Ibuki’s rise? Did that only happen recently?”
Watson nodded.
“You’re not that informed about the Island Nations, are you?
“A month ago, an infighting happened to the Tsuchimikado family. Ibuki slayed his own uncle and seized total control. A man who’d kill his own uncle is surely a tough opponent to deal with…”
