Harvey York’s Rise to Power Chapter 2253
“Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do about today’s incident? I’m all ears,” Harvey said with a warm smile after a moment of pondering.
Aiden and Rachel exchanged glances, but said
nothing.
They were the younger generation of Longmen, after all. This was their first time finding out about the Longmen Overseers. Naturally, they couldn’t come out with anything worthwhile.
Justin hesitated for a while before saying quietly, “There are two things that can be done, Branch Leader.”
“Number one, you’ll go to Flutwell and beg for forgiveness from the Elder Group. Judging from their pride, they’ll let you off the hook as long as you give in.”
Harvey nodded without interrupting Justin, and then signaled him to continue.
“Number two, you’ll get the master of Longmen himself to back you up. After all, he’s basically the rival of the Four Longmen Elders. They don’t show it on the surface, but they’ve been constantly backstabbing each other without remorse all this time.”
“If you have the master of Longmen’s support, the Four Longmen Elders won’t be able to do anything to you for the time being.”
“Wait, Longmen’s split into two factions?” Harvey asked, his curiosity piqued.
“The master of Longmen is opposed to the Four Longmen Elders?”
“With the Four Longmen Elders’ lacking capability, do they even have the right to fight for authority against the master of Longmen?”
Justin chuckled bitterly at Harvey’s questions.
“There’s something you don’t know, Branch Leader. The Four Longmen Elders may not be skilled at fighting, but their power, influence, and background are pretty much on par with the master of Longmen himself.”
“In the past, they made huge achievements and rescued many powerful figures within Country.
“Since they have acquired the support of such powerful people, they could go against the master of Longmen.”
“Theard that they intend to make the Head of Law Enforcement the next master of Longmen.”
“After all, no one has been chosen as Longmen’s successor yet.”
“That’s why, to a certain extent, the master of Longmen and the Four Longmen Elders are fighting for the organization’s inheritance.”
“I see.”
Harvey could roughly understand the situation at hand.
Hector fanning the flames aside, the Four Longmen Elders would be furious about Samuel giving Harvey authority to take control of Mordu ‘s Longmen branch
Jupiter was ordered here to harass Harvey as a favor for Hector, but the Elders never had the intention of disrespecting Samuel in the first
place.
A shame that they didn’t take account for Harvey ‘s strength, causing Jupiter and other disciples to be crippled for daring to provoke a powerful opponent.
From this perspective, Harvey was already knee deep against the Law Enforcement and the Four Longmen Elders.
“No matter what your decision will be, I’ll arrange everything for you if you’re going to Flutwell,” Justin said. His words were a subtle warning to Harvey.
To Justin, Harvey had no right to fight the Four Longmen Elders.
It would be unwise for a man who was freshly appointed as Branch Leader to provoke them.
But Harvey simply looked at Justin quietly, his interest piqued even further.
“Thank you for your suggestions, Vice Branch Leader. That said, I’m not interested in either of them,” he replied calmly.
“Send a message for me. Since I’m taking office,
Mordu’s Longmen branch will not be controlled by anyone else.”
“I don’t care if it’s the Elder Group or the Law Enforcement Hall. If they come to Mordu, they will all submit to me.”
“Whoever dares to cause trouble in my territory, I’ll cripple all of them!”
