Chapter 2522
“Secondly, rumors have been spreading outside about the Yorks of Hong Kong and the Briewood Gang
constantly pressuring Governor Clarke. Right now, everyone‘s watching the show. If there are any
signs of you falling off your) position, these people will surely find a way to bring you down. Hence,
you‘re using this meal
to tell everyone that not only are you still in position, but you‘re also going to be here for a very long
time.
“Finally, you‘re looking for an ally. After all, not only did I deal with Dragon Palace‘s branch after coming
to Hong Kong and Las Vegas, but I also forced Vince‘s hand a few times. That‘s why you want to see
how far I‘ve gotten, and if I‘m worth joining forces with you.”
Leslie was slightly surprised after hearing Harvey‘s explanation.
She didn‘t think that her father was under this much pressure last night to the point where he would
need an outsider to explain the situation.
At the same time, she was utterly shocked by Harvey‘s intelligence and insight to figure out so many
meanings behind the invitation.
Toby looked at Harvey, his interest clearly piqued.
“The first two reasons are indeed my intentions of inviting you, but I‘ve never thought about the third.
Why don‘t you enlighten me about that thought, Harvey?”
Unintentionally, Toby started referring to Harvey in a different manner. Naturally, his way of looking at
Harvey completely changed.
In Toby‘s eyes, Harvey was an equal.
“There cannot be two kings in the same land.
The Yorks of Hong Kong were quite discreet before, but Vince is different. He‘s not just Dragon
Palace‘s new God of War and the top elite of the younger generation in Hong Kong and Las Vegas. In
fact, he‘s even rumored to be the next Head Coach of the nine strongest , military forces. However, in
your eyes, Vince will
still come after you regardless if he becomes
Head Coach, am I right?
“With the way he does things, he won‘t allow anybody else to oppose him once he rises to power.
When that happens, you‘ll either have to resign or yield to him. These options are not ideal for you at
all. Under these circumstances, it should be normal for you to join forces with someone that has been
constantly causing trouble for Vince.”
Toby burst out laughing, then picked up a crab dumpling before setting it on Harvey‘s plate with a smile
on his face.
“Come, Harvey. Try out my wife‘s homemade crab dumplings! This is a rare delicacy! Also, I‘d like to
make an announcement. No matter what you do, from now on, you‘ll have my full support.”
Harvey chuckled.
“Aren‘t you scared of me taking advantage of people and committing heinous crimes, Governor
Clarke?”
Toby rumbled with laughter once more.
“If you really were that kind of person, you‘d still be locked behind the bars right now. All right. That‘s
enough. From now on, you should stop referring to me by my title. When you‘re here, we‘re brothers.
Let‘s just drop the courtesy.”
Harvey was thoroughly impressed by Toby‘s
decisiveness.
“Sure. I‘ll respect your wishes then,” he said with a chuckle.
Leslie was speechless after hearing those words. Disdain was apparent on her face.
Harvey clapped his hands after sensing Leslie‘s scornful gaze.
“Leslie, why don‘t you call me ‘uncle‘ from now on?”
Leslie‘s expression darkened even more.
Toby burst out laughing.
“Don‘t worry, Leslie. You can either refer to him by his name or call him Uncle York. Anything is fine.”
