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
"Right, there's something else," Dan said as he slapped his forehead. "It's almost time for my grandmother's 90th birthday. She's a good friend of our teacher. If you have the chance, please convince him not to stay in Wolsing all the time. He should head to Grand City once in a while. He might think things through after that."Sienna nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll try talking to him. After all, staying in Grand City for a few days might improve his condition."After half an hour, Dan quietly left the temple of the Saint of Death and got back into the red car. Shortly, the car started and slowly left the national park.Once the car was back on Wolsing's freeway, the woman who had been playing with it called Lanny beamed and asked, "So, how did it go? Did that junior of yours change her impression of you?"Lanny crossed her legs, and the fragrance from her tickled Dan's nose. He wished he could immediately pounce on her and pull her pantyhose away."Things aren't that easy," D
"That's right, because he really impressed me. But the reason I'm impressed isn't because he has become the representative for the Martial Arts Alliance. It's simply because he's willing to fight for our country. Few people have such pure thoughts in this age," Sienna said after giving it a thought."That being said, few people know that I've been impressed. How did you find that out?"Dan smiled. "You must have forgotten something. While you're our teacher's last student, I'm also a favored student myself. Just because you called our teacher didn't mean we didn't remain in touch. I know you're impressed by him through our teacher as well. And I heard from our teacher that you want to find a chance to introduce him formally?" Hearing what Dan had said, Sienna nodded. She often mentioned Harvey to her teacher but did not expect her teacher to divulge it to Dan."The thought did cross my mind," Sienna said in honesty. "You should know that our teacher should have reached the level o
"As for Parkerville controlling the Martial Arts Alliance? I don't think you need to do that. Among all the Sacred Training Grounds, Parkerville is the one Sacred Training Ground that is linked to the broader society the most. The Country H government is aware of your actions and is on their guard."If you really manage to become the representative, not only will the top ten families suppress the Martial Arts Alliance, but even the five hidden families and the four pillars will do that. That way, it will simply make our factions lose our power due to infighting. It's a demerit for all of us," Sienna said with a hint of sternness."If I were you, I would spend some time in Wolsing, have dinner with your representative, warn him a little, talk about cooperation, and then leave. This is the best choice for us, for you, and for the entire country."When Dan heard what Sienna had to say, he smiled. "Thank you for your thoughts. However, as a man, my life should be one of glory and passio
When Dan heard Sienna's honest words, there was a hint of sneer within him. However, he hid those emotions and simply said, "I know little about your brother, Sienna. He has given me a few calls and says that if our cooperation is successful this time, he will give me the thing I want the most.""I didn't really believe him, but I have to come and speak to him a little, seeing that he's your brother after all. That's why when it comes to this so-called cooperation, it’ll be great if it works. But if it's getting dangerous, I'll heed your warning and be extra careful. Since… Your brother might be the leader of your family. I can't simply cross him."Dan focused his eyes as he looked at Sienna, as if wanting to see any changes in her eyes when he said that. However, Sienna's eyes were emotionless, as if the word "leader" could not make her budge at all.She gave him a beaming smile and said, "I'll be able to rest easy if you can handle this appropriately. However, besides my brother,
It was obvious Sienna knew what she was talking about. While it was just a few dates, from a certain angle, these dates that Dan gave her could be deemed priceless.Dan laughed. "Those are just rumors, and you believed them? If it's as wondrous as you said, Parkerville wouldn't have declined through the years. However, the tree is quite old, and the quality of its dates is much better than the ones that go through modern industrialization. I know you like these, so I had them transported here."You wouldn't say no to me, right? If you do that, that will damage my reputation later."Once Dan had said that, Sienna had no choice but to sigh in resignation. She sighed, extended her hand, took out a date, and tasted it. It was quite fragrant, and its sweetness bloomed when she bit into it. It was something beyond describable.It was completely organic. Just its purity alone was enough, no matter if it was as good as the rumors made it. After finishing the date, she was still enjoying th
Dan gave Lanny an apologetic smile and walked into the temple. Very quickly, he arrived in front of the temple. When he saw the name of the deity the temple was dedicated to, there was only derision on his face.According to the legends, the Saint of Death once said she would never know peace until all the souls had been freed from Hell. The Saint represented the wish to guide everyone's souls. But to someone like Dan, everyone else meant nothing. Only his success mattered.With a scornful smirk, Dan gave the priest a badge guarding the entrance before walking into the temple's corridor. He quickly reached the end of the temple, which had a ridge on which an ancient pavilion had been built.After being renovated, the pavilion no longer looked as dilapidated. However, this was not a place any ordinary person could go. In the pavilion was a chair, and a woman was sitting on it. She was reading a religious book and was immensely engrossed in it.A faint light fell on her making her lo
"Grand City?" Harvey caught a crucial keyword from Yvonne's explanation. "Let's stop everything else. Tell me more about Grand City. Why haven't I heard anything about a city like this in this world?"Then Yvonne replied sternly, "Normally speaking, as the representative of Country H's Martial Arts Alliance, you must have known about Grand City. It is not a city that belongs to our world. It was said to belong only to martial artists. "It was said that not only was the city very prosperous and a place where martial arts flourished, but it was also said that there was a portal that led to another world in that city. It was also said that only one could comprehend the pinnacle of martial arts, uniting Man and Nature…"Harvey slightly frowned. "Uniting Man and Nature? That way, doesn't that make Grand City the holy land of all Martial Artists? Aren't they going to fight tooth and nail with everyone so that they could stay in a place like this?"Yvonne nodded. "That's right. Those who
"Maybe Dan really wanted to become the leader, or he needed many people and power. He never inherited the chivalry and benevolence of the previous generation. He did everything for profit," Ray explained. "Perhaps it's because Parkerville is the Sacred Training Ground with the deepest roots in the outside world. That's why the way Dan did things tyrannically affected the youths who went to martial arts schools and those who practiced their martial arts."According to George's estimation, the number of youths from their school who committed violent crimes across the globe had increased tenfold. Many of them had even joined the criminal underworld of their own volition. "And the worst part is, because of their relations with the Sacred Training Grounds, even Dragon Gate had no choice but to show some leniency. That's why it's very difficult to deal with Sacred Training Grounwithave such powerful influence in the outside world…""Difficult?" Harvey asked curiously. "How difficult?""
"I quietly applied to Country A's top-ranking universities to become an exchange student. Last night, I received a call from Irving Sixth Academy saying that there would be an interview for me. Thinking that it was a rare chance, I came. I didn't expect that the so-called interviewer was Linus."I knew something was amiss, so I made an excuse and left. I didn't expect to fall into their trap the moment I stepped in. Luckily you're here, otherwise… Otherwise…" Sia was filled with terror after that. She remembered how Linus and Clarion looked at her. She knew how it would end if she fell into their hands."I see," Harvey nodded. It looks like Linus didn't give up and instead set his eyes on the Xavier family's family members." Harvey narrowed his eyes when he said that.While he was unsure about Linus's entire plan, he had some ideas. Linus most likely formulated this trap to make Parkerville and the Xaviers of Wolsing mortal enemies."You can't tell my cousin about this, Harvey…" Si
