At Purdue Mountain of Mordu!Purdue Mountain was the most prominent five-star scenic spot in Mordu. Usually, there were a lot of pilgrims who dropped by to pray.However, there’s a restricted area behind Purdue Mountain where ordinary people couldn’t enter.The outsiders knew that it’s a big nursing home where only people with statuses high enough deserved to stay in.But the truth was that this so-called nursing home was a huge manor.The Jean family of Mordu!The Jean family, which placed ninth amongst the top ten families of Country H, lived right here.The whole posterior of Purdue Mountain were buildings designed by the mountains and water. Those buildings were designed in courtyard styles, and there were gardens and pavilions everywhere.Right that moment, in the side hall of the Purdue manor, there’s a stretcher on the ground, and the person lying there was none other than Zack Zimmer, whose limbs were all broken.Meanwhile, Quinn Zimmer was kneeling beside the stretche
Buckwood.The news of chief instructor and Oskar Armstrong’s appearance at South Light’s change of defense ceremony was known to everyone already.It’s heard that even the South Lights’ army was excited.The chief instructor was the legend of the army, the living legend. Countless soldiers wanted to see his true face but failed. Who wouldn’t miss an opportunity like this in their lifetime?With senior Oskar there, the duo’s appearance there wouldn’t be just as simple as one plus one equals two!Even Chris Leo was starting to get excited.“This time, if I get to know the chief instructor, maybe we as the Leos of Hong Kong, will be able to use this chance to step onto the other three top families beneath us!”“And I’ll get to step onto Quinton York till he dies too!”Keith Yates was all enthusiastic and eager as well. “If I manage to have the chief instructor as my back and support, then it wouldn’t be a dream for me to become the South Lights’ first-in-command anymore!”Even th
Looking for an office building was neither a big nor too small of a task.Harvey York did not use Sky Corporation’s connections either. Instead, he called Tara Lewis after thinking about it.“Tara, you are in the real estate business. Please help me find out if there are any unused office buildings in the center of Buckwood City for sale.”“Huh? What are you looking for?” Tara was curious.“Isn’t Mandy’s company very popular recently? She takes this opportunity to expand the business scope and recruit talented people. So, I want to buy an office building for her to use.”Harvey answered casually.On the other side of the phone, Tara remained silent for a long time.She regretted it again.If she did not have acted superior in front of Harvey or had just chased Harvey back then, would she have such a good husband as well?Tara threw away unrealistic thoughts in her mind after sighing. She then said, “Don’t worry, my old classmate. I will surely help you on this.”Tara started
Tara Lewis had already estimated the value of this office building before coming.If the building were estimated according to the highest price in the industry, it would only cost 310 million dollars.However, this guy wanted 777 million as soon as he opened his mouth, which was much more expensive than the market value. Ridiculous! It was way overpriced. Harvey knew that the price was indeed inappropriate after seeing Tara’s expression. He smiled at this moment and said, “Sir Bowie, we’re businessmen. We value integrity.”“This price is too ridiculous, isn’t it?”Although he was wealthy, he was surely not short of this amount of money.However, he could not be fooled, right?David squinted his eyes and said, “If you want to find a cheap office building, there’s a lot outside of this area!”“This location is good, so the price is high. I want to sell it to you at a lower price, but I can’t!”Harvey said, “We really want it. But 777 million dollars for this building is way too
“What?”Tara Lewis was a little confused. She did not understand what he meant by that response.Looking at her charming appearance, David Bowie could not help it. He laughed and said, “Miss Lewis, don’t you understand what I mean?“I have been divorced for several years, and I have not been in a new relationship because I couldn’t find a suitable partner.“My evenings tend to be lonely now!“Miss Lewis, please help me solve this problem.”With that, David opened the door to the inside. Inside was a room fitted with a bed inside.“Come on! After that, I will sign a contract with you and sell it to you for 310 million dollars!”David chuckled and said, with an impatient and lustful look.“Sir Bowie, such a joke isn’t funny at all!” Tara’s face was extremely awful.She had been wallowing in society for so many years. There were just too many people who wanted to hit on her.However, those people were gentlemen. They were just looking for a chance to pursue her.Those people w
David Bowie felt that he had arranged everything properly.Boom!At this moment, suddenly, a loud noise came from the office door. The closed door was kicked wide open at this moment.David, who was inside the office, was taken aback.Tara was also shocked. She knew that Harvey York was amazing, but she never thought that he was this amazing.Was this something that humans could do?At this moment, Harvey had already walked in and came in front of David.As for the few thugs, they were already lying sprawled on the ground.Slap!Harvey slapped David in the face until he was thrown upside down, hitting the wall, and seven teeth were knocked out.“You! How dare you hit me?! Do you know who I am? Do you know who my benefactor is?“You’re dead! I promise that you would end up badly!”David got used to being arrogant. Although he was slurring at this moment, he still pointed at Harvey and yelled.Harvey laughed. “It’s been a long time since I heard anyone talk to me like this.
Soon, a man in embroidered shirt and a cigar in his mouth came in. He said as he walked, “David, you have always treated me with filial respect.“I’ll also keep my word. I’ll help you take care of this matter.“But since I’m here, you aren’t going to let me go back empty-handed, right?”This person was Sean Bill, one of the big bosses of the streets in South light. The nearby area was his territory.To be blunt, he was also the one who watched over David. At this moment, David hurriedly took out a pile of cash and said, “Brother Sean Bill, since your men are here, their hard work would not be in vain. Please take it. The pleasure is all mine.”He handed over the pile of cash while talking.One of Sean Bill’s men took it and nodded at Sean.Sean then said indifferently, “So David, tell me what’s going on?”David pointed in Harvey’s direction and said, “Brother Sean, this is the guy. Not only he ruined my good time, but he also slapped me!”Sean first glanced at Tara. His eyes t
Sean Bill waved his hand at this moment and took a puff of his cigarette. “Interesting. No one has dared to be arrogant in front of me for so many years.“I will write the two words, Sean Bill, upside down if I don’t personally break your hands and legs.”Sean walked to the front of the crowd while talking.David Bowie sneered at Harvey York, “You actually managed to get Brother Sean to ruin you himself. You’re dead!”Tara Lewis sighed in her heart and unconsciously wanted to stop in front of Harvey.She felt that everything was over. She might have to die with Harvey today.Pfff!The next moment, when Sean saw Harvey’s face clearly, his knee softened, and he instantly kneeled in front of Harvey.This scene made everyone dumbfounded.David was dumbfounded.Tara was dumbfounded.All of Sean’s men were also dumbfounded.This scene did not seem realistic at all. It was just like a dream.The evil and fierce Sean Bill, the big boss from the streets, actually kneeled to Harvey.
Very quickly, many Islanders ran to the stage. All of them were wearing the Islanders' traditional summer garb. The way they stood and the way they lifted their beard made them easily identifiable as Islanders.According to how unified Islanders were, everything they said would most likely be true.When Linus saw what was happening, sat down and folded his legs. His sexy secretary helped him light up a cigar. He took a deep breath, then looked at the unfolding scene with interest.Very quickly, the Islander leading the men took a step forward and said angrily, "Everyone! I'm Shinto Way's disciple, Tojo Nomura. I'm also the leader of the disciples still in Country H. "A few days ago, the Xaviers of Wolsing requested a marriage with our Young Master, Shingen. They have also signed a lot of contracts with us. Some of them include how Shinto Way will transfer the shares of our assets in Country H to them, while they will have to transfer ownership of their business on the Island Natio
When Yvonne saw Linus pulling out things they shouldn't and even giving them to the reporters, she instantly realized that he cared little about the consequences anymore.What he did was to ensure the Xaviers were blamed for everything. Even if he gained nothing from it, he still wanted to do it just so the Xaviers would have a hard time in Country H. He even wanted to use this to make both Country H and the Island Nation to force them to publicly deal with Shingen's death.Harvey, who caused all of this, would be in a lot of trouble. Yvonne looked at Linus coldly. "Linus, you know that taking things out of context and making up stories won't be beneficial to you. Where's your conscience?""Conscience? What's that?" Linus said with an exaggerated expression. "I'm not the one who killed Shingen. It's you Xaviers of Wolsing and the prospective son-in-law you wanted. Are you afraid others will find out? I'm just someone who knew the truth with a righteous heart!"I can't bear to see
The faces of Yvonne and the others from the Xaviers all shifted a little. It was obvious they didn't expect an Islander to appear. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at all of this coldly.Journi, who was a little bit surprised, turned to Harvey subconsciously. "What's going on?""We're simply giving the full package. The most difficult part of all of this was to explain why the Islanders would give up. Rather than waiting for others to expose the truth, why don't we give everyone the truth?" Harvey said calmly."What do you mean?" Journi said with a frown. "Simple. While these people are Islanders, they'll work for money. In this situation, the words of an Islander are more effective than the words of a hundred people from Country H…"Journi was curious about what Harvey wanted to do, but then some of the reporters realized what was happening. "Are these allegations from the Islanders true? Did you really assassinate Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, who wanted to improve the relationship
All the reporters and attendants were captivated by Yvonne's story. They didn't expect a commercial clash would be even more exciting than what they watched in dramas. At the same time, Yvonne highlighted the helplessness she felt when she was forced to marry Shingen. Everyone pitied her for what she had to do.As for how they dealt with Shingen, Yvonne simply brushed it over, saying that the Xaviers managed to get what they were after. She sighed and said, "These are all supposed to be secret, something not supposed to be revealed. The reason I revealed everything today is that I wanted to prove that the Xaviers didn't have much to do with the Island Nations."You can investigate this and see whether it's real or not, and I can bear full responsibility for what is said today. Also, to prove everything that I said and destroy baseless accusations, I now invite our patriarch Mr. Nashon Xavier to speak with everyone right here and now."With a wave of her hand, a door was opened fro
"First of all, the Xaviers had never thought of working with the Islanders. Not in the past, not in the present, not in the future. "Secondly, I will never marry an Islander. I'm born here, and my allegiance is to our country. "Thirdly, there are some photos on the internet about contracts and weddings. I acknowledge that they do exist, but I can swear to all of you that it is simply the result of a commercial clash. And in the end, the Xaviers have won. Please don't worry about the process. Just take note of the result." Yvonne spoke calmly and honestly.She also didn't hide the wedding that she shouldn't be speaking about. She acknowledged it, not trying to hide or evade the question. There was only silence; everyone felt Yvonne's sincerity.Normally speaking, when someone started a press conference like this, it was so that they could wash some of the rumors away. However, Yvonne didn't do that. She simply stated the truth. And it was truth like this that was the most trus
Since Harvey already had his decision, Yvonne wasn't going to say anything else. She made a few calls and they began the acquisition. This time, they were going to use Harvey's capital and name, so on the surface, this had nothing to do with Sky Corporation.In other words, even if Country A noticed someone was acquiring all the shares in the stock market, they wouldn't be able to tell it was Sky Corporation for the time being. Once they realized who was the one acquiring the shares, it would be too late.After that was done, Harvey gave Journi a sly smile. "Is there anything else we should do? "Dealing with the rumors and making a declaration are already impressive moves. There's only one last move to make," Journi chuckled. "Tomorrow, when everything will be settled, the Xaviers will need to organize a major news conference. There, the patriarch Nashon Xavier would need to reveal himself. That way, we'll be able to dispel the rumors without needing to exert any more effort. A l
As the proofs had all been posted online, some netizens writing badly against the Xaviers immediately separated into two camps.A few still believed that the Xaviers had turned coat, but most believed in the Xaviers. Yvonne was still single, after all. That alone was enough to gain their trust."I told you. The Xaviers were one of the top ten families in country H. They wouldn't have become a servant to the Islanders.""The beautiful ladies from our country should remain single instead of letting anyone have them.""I believe someone is targeting the Xavier family. Maybe this is an action from some overseas forces. Don't believe those lies, everyone!""The Xavier family has already published their explanation. They've even posted their contracts on their website for everyone to check. It's enough to prove that they had nothing to hide.""The relevant departments should interfere with this as soon as possible and restore their reputation."Everyone sighed in relief when some neti
When Harvey and the others heard about Journi, they were all shocked. All of them took out their phones and started to check the trending searches. Very quickly, the screenshots of the role model husband and wife cheating started to appear. Photos of them and the audio of them fighting slowly appeared.To most of the netizens, something like this was much better.Very quickly, the role model husband and wife became everyone's talking points. Countless moral crusaders started to condemn them with words. Some were laughing at them, cursing at them, speaking for them… The entire internet became very lively as different types of people took different stances.When their romantic partners were all revealed, it allowed people to build up their own scenarios in their head. Many people started to search for all kinds of evidence through the internet.As the netizens continued to discuss it, news about the Xaviers ceased becoming important. While there were still some people who had a pro
"If that really doesn't work, maybe Yvonne can hide for a while?" Rachel said after giving it a thought. While she didn't know much about the internet, she knew about one thing. Trends like this would only remain for a few days. Ignore them and they would go away pretty quickly."It won't be that easy this time," Harvey said as he shook his head. "Since Linus is the one who planned this, he would definitely watch how things are going. Once he noticed things didn't develop how he wanted them to be, he'd do something else instead. He may publish the second half of the video that we don't want to. In other words, we're in his complete control."Everyone looked at each other, not sure how to deal with this mess."Sir, it's not good if you don't tell me something is happening at home when I'm your assistant, right? Or do you think the Country H Commercial Group is too small, and we can't help you?" Just when everyone was getting a headache, a slender figure walked into the residence'
