Oskar Armstrong was the top man in the medical field.Usually, when he wanted to perform a procedure, many big characters would kneel to beg for him.But somebody actually did not believe in him that day. Instead, they wanted him to pay with his life.Even Oskar could not imagine what happened.“How is this possible?!”The most important thing was that he trusted Harvey York the most!He was the chief instructor for the Sword Camp, a myth that held off against the five strongest countries by himself, truly a legend.How could a man like that even dig him a deep grave such as this?And with that man’s wealth, did he even need his wife to proceed with a jerry-built project just to get a little more money?No!There was no need!The man’s wealth could rival countries. He would not even bat an eye toward such a trivial amount of money!Without a second thought, Oskar furiously slammed the wall with his hand and exclaimed, “Silence! I’ll give everyone a fair statement about this
Keith Yates snorted, “How dare he!”“Prince York or not, the matter has escalated to such an extent that even Oskar Armstrong is involved!”“Many nobles from Wolsing, Mordu, Golden Sands, and other places are paying attention to this matter!”“Sheldon Xavier himself cannot intervene, let alone Prince York!”“Unless someone can provide evidence that Mandy Zimmer is innocent, there’s no need for her to come out!”The entire Yates family laughed at Keith’s words.Leyton smiled. “Mandy’s still too young. After this incident, she’ll finally understand how important it is to have support.”“Without the Yates family behind her, she’s nothing!”Keith frowned. “In my opinion, we should just let her stay in the company for a few more years. Wouldn’t it be better if we take over the entire Silver Nimbus Enterprise instead?”Grandma Yates replied indifferently, “Mandy’s still somewhat capable. The rest of us here have no experience in business. We may not be able to make any profit.”“Le
The Yates family had set up various preparations. On the other hand, Mandy’s family had fallen into a desperate state of impatience and anxiety due to Mandy’s arrest.Harvey, who was at Sky Corporation, received the news immediately.Never had he expected that someone would dare to target Mandy and Silver Nimbus Enterprise right under his nose.“CEO York! According to the information I’ve found, there’s a high probability that the incident this time is related to Regency Enterprise.”Yvonne exclaimed with a frown, her hands clutching several documents.Although she hadn’t come to work recently due to various issues with the Xavier family…The moment she discovered something had happened to Mandy, she disregarded her affairs and hurriedly returned to the office. “Other than Regency Enterprise, I suspect there are also government officials controlling everything from behind the scenes. Otherwise, the media and the people wouldn’t react this quickly!”“The hardest thing right now
Yoel Graham on the other side of the phone was baffled. “Chief Instructor, it’s not that I don’t want to help. It’s just that this time, the special operations team is sent by the South Light government. My words have no power at all.”“Then try to contact Elder Xavier.”“That may not be useful. I heard that since Senior Oskar Armstrong was involved, some big shots in Wolsing were furious and demanded results within three days.”“Anyone who dares to interfere with the investigation will be subjected to punishment.”“Okay, I get it.”Harvey hung up and laughed.He could guess who was intervening in this matter using the South Light Government.While the culprit could have been the Xavier family, right now they wouldn’t dare to stir any trouble because of their connection to Yvonne. The second-in-command of South Light, Kyle Quinlan, was a member of the Quinlan family from Georgia. Among the top ten families, the Quinlans from Georgia ranked higher than the Xaviers from Wolsing.
No one expected that Alex Swift would be so tough-minded, to the point he was unwilling to humor the military legend and Chief Instructor of Sword Camp.If the Chief Instructor of Sword Camp wanted to, he could easily become the head of the top nine troops at any time. He could even take over the position of the army’s Elder in the future.He was someone with unlimited potential and incredible influence.Unexpectedly, Alex did not give face to such such a person.However, Harvey was not angry. His hands clasped behind his back, he continued coldly, “Do you mean to tell me that you’re handling this whole situation without any bias, Sir Swift?”Alex replied solemnly, “Naturally. This incident involves too many things, as well as the reputation of the great Country H’s national figures. I cannot show favor to either side, lest my superiors fire me.”Harvey said, “Then, how is the investigation going now?”“The matter is undergoing investigation. Judging from the current evidence av
“No problem! I’ll gladly give full cooperation!”Alex immediately bowed.Soon, Buckwood Police Station sent Harvey various surveillance footage.Ray Hart called the technicians and they began to check various devices.Harvey also had his men take some samples from the scene of the accident.When Harvey checked the materials, he smiled and said, “Leader Swift, this sand is indeed sea sand.”“It’s forbidden to use it for construction as they are very corrosive. However, signs of such corrosion will only appear until ten or twenty years later.”“There’s a lot of concrete mixed with the sand. How could the buildings collapse straightaway?”“Judging from these samples, someone must have deliberately mixed something else in the materials.”“What?!” Alex and the others gasped. Was someone trying to frame Mandy?“Strong acid.”Harvey replied indifferently.“A very simple method. Add strong acid to a building that hasn’t completely solidified. The building will then collapse quickly
Both Simon and Lilian’s faces darkened.Especially Lilian’s, who had asked around only to find out that Mandy was to be jailed for at least ten years.Grandma Yates came over and grabbed Lilian’s hand. She comforted Lilian, saying, “Lilian, I’m worried both Simon and you are also going to prison together with Mandy!”“After all, you two went around giving hush money to the victims’ families. If this gets exposed, both of you will go to jail as well!”“Luckily, you two are still fine!”Grandma Yates had a comforting expression, but the words she used made Simon and Lilian’s complexion change drastically.They still wanted to bask in wealth and glory!Who in their right mind wants to go to jail?Lilian subconsciously blurted out, “Mother! Please save us and Mandy!”“What are you talking about? We’re a family!”“If I can help, then I’ll certainly help you!”“It’s just…I already asked your older brother about this. He said it’s a bit difficult, you see?”Grandma Yates glanced a
Lilian was taken aback for a moment. “Mother, what deal are you talking about?”“Of course, it’s about the Silver Nimbus Enterprise! To help your family solve this problem, I decided to take out my savings of about one hundred fifty thousand dollars and buy the company shares, which once belonged to Mandy.” Grandma Yates said, smiling. “One hundred fifty thousand dollars?!”Simon and Lilian looked at each other.Although they didn’t know much about company operations, they still understood that Silver Nimbus Enterprise was worth several millions of dollars. How could they simply sell off their equity for only a measly one hundred fifty thousand dollars?Looking at their conflicted gazes, Grandma Yates laughed. “I know you two wouldn’t be able to accept it right now, but you have no idea how serious the situation currently is.”“Come, Grant. Tell your uncle and aunt about the current situation.”Grant Bright walked forward with a smile and said politely, “Uncle, Auntie. Let me i
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
