Harvey York's Rise to Power

Only when the old man had put down the brush in his hand did Jesse take a step forward and say, "Sir, Mr.

Shingen from the Shinto Way has arrived."

The old man turned and let out a smile. "I am Nashon Xavier.

I'm glad to finally meet you."

Shingen smiled and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Nashon. I know what I'm capable of, so please stop teasing me."

Shingen didn't want to waste his breath anymore, and immediately steered the conversation to the topic of the

day.

"Since the Xavier family has invitedto Wolsing for a marriage proposal, I wonder if my possible fiancee is

already here? I'm not exactly particular about this, but I don't believe I'm asking too much if I wish to see the

woman who's going to be my wife earlier, right?"

"Of course not, of course not." Nashon laughed and waved his hand. "Jesse, ask your sister to cout here."

Jesse smiled and left. After a while, Yvonne appeared in front of all of them while wearing a white traditional

dress. She didn't wear any makeup, and she didn't show any aggression at all. She looked very gentle. Rather,

she even looked a little sickly.

However, a woman like this excited Shingen.

"What a beauty... What a beauty!"

While Shingen had plenty of women back in his country, someone like Yvonne was still very rare. At that

moment, his interest in the so-called marriage proposal had heightened somewhat.

However, Yvonne pretended not to see Shingen and simply gave Nashon a look. She asked coldly, 'What are your

orders, sir? I've been waiting to see you since last night. I wonder if you're too busy or you're starting to have

memory problems."

Nashon didn't mind how aggressive Yvonne's words were.

He simply smiled and said, 'When you heard something happened to Harvey last night, you asked for my help,

hoping that the Xaviers would ensure Harvey's safety.

"The price is, you will do one thing for the family no matter the cost. Harvey is now safe, and even his going to

the station to record his statement was more of an act than anything else.

"Now that we have upheld our part of the bargain, it's now tfor you to uphold yours."

Yvonne frowned and didn't say anything. She was the one who had agreed to this.

"It's very simple," Nashon said with a smile. "The Xaviers of Wolsing are working closely with the Shinto Way of novelbin

the Island Nation. I believe we will continue working this way for the next few decades or so. To ensure we share

the sgoal, marriage between our two families is required.

"Unfortunately, all the women in our family have already been engaged. Other than you, that is.

"That's why the family now requests you marry Mr. Shingen.

He is the direct descendent of the Tokugawa family, as well as the scion of the Shinto Way.

"After marrying him, you will be at the top of the social hierarchy in the Island Nation. Other than a wealthy life, I

think you'll be given a new aristocratic identity in the Island Nation very soon.

"As the head of this family, allowto congratulate you..."

"You're askingto marry an Islander?" Yvonne cut him off, her expression darkening. "I'm sorry, but I refuse!"
