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
Both Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates hesitated.They felt that selling all of Mandy’s shares for one hundred and fifty million dollars was a great loss.However, they had grown extremely fearful after they listened to Grant’s explanation. Grant continued to smile. “Uncle, Auntie, don’t you understand the current situation?”“Although there hasn’t been a large-scale check-out wave yet, I estimate that it will happen in two or three days!”“If you continue to hesitate, forget getting one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. You might have to take on a huge debt!”“I guarantee that even after you sell the company to the Yates family, we can still allow Mandy to continue working in it.”“You’ve got nothing to lose!”However, Simon and Lilian still couldn’t come to a decision. Grandma Yates suddenly coughed and changed the subject. “Lilian, what do you think of Grant?”Lilian quickly replied, “A successful man!”“That’s right!” Grandma Yates laughed. “Grant has been in this busine
Xynthia touched her cheek and stared at Tanya in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that her aunt, who loved her so much, would slap her over such a thing!Slap!Just then, Harvey, who had been watching quietly from behind, stepped forward. Before anyone could react, he slapped Tanya so hard that it stunned her. Tanya was not the only one.Leyton was also stunned.Keith was the same.Grandma Yates, too!Everyone was completely dumbfounded!They had known that Harvey was there. However, in their eyes, he was just a useless live-in son-in-law who wasn’t even worth a fart in the wind.And yet, this wimp actually slapped Tanya?!Leyton was the first to spring into action. He pointed at Harvey, cursing, “Rebel! Rebel! How dare you, a live-in son-in-law, lay a hand on a Yates?”“You’re dead!”“Mandy’s not the only one who's going to jail!”“You’re gonna spend a long time in the slammer too!”“Argh!”Harvey stared at Leyton, who was jumping up and down agitatedly in front of him.
Tanya spoke up coldly, “Harvey! Since you’re considered a part of our family, we’ll turn a blind eye to what you’ve done.”“But don’t be rash! Don’t get your father-in-law and mother-in-law in trouble!”“Trouble? How could I trouble them?” Harvey spat back, just as coldly.Keith said righteously, “If you don’t let them sell the company equity to us, then you might as well be harming them!”“When the clients demand for their refunds, how do you plan to repay that huge debt?”Harvey replied sarcastically, “Don’t we have you, Uncle? I heard that Uncle’s teacher is a big shot in Wolsing. As long as you come forward to deal with the associated parties, then there should be no problem, right?”Simon and Lilian’s eyes lit up at Harvey’s words.Lilian added hurriedly, “That’s right, Brother. How did we forget that?”“There’s no need to transfer the equity. As long as you’re willing to come forward, they would surely do you a favor. After that, I can just have Mandy gift you a villa!”
In the evening, the Yateses gathered at a clubhouse.Keith held a glass of wine with a smile, saying, “Grant, your plan’s quite good. I’ve just contacted several people from the government.”“Tomorrow, they’ll exert pressure on Silver Nimbus Enterprise. I doubt Simon and Lilian could withstand that!”“This time tomorrow, we’ll get Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s equity!”“We Yateses will become a top-tier family!”Grant raised his wine glass as well. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Sir Yates. I promise I’ll go all out for the Yates family in the future, and I’ll never hesitate!”“I’ll be Yateses’ cash cow from now on!”The Yates family laughed loudly as they listened to Grant.Leyton covered his face. “Big Brother, I think we have to teach that cretin Harvey a lesson after this whole thing is over!”“He’s just trash! How dare he hit me?! He’s unbelievable!”Tanya also gritted her teeth. “Yes! That kind of man should sit in prison for the rest of his life!”Grant grinne
Keith’s face wasn’t the only one that had turned extremely awful.The faces of the other members of the Yates family also changed instantly.However, Grandma Yates quickly snapped out of it. She smiled and said, “Sir Swift, I still remember the last time you came to congratulate me on my birthday. I’ve always wanted to visit you, but I never had the time for it.”“It’s better to meet by chance today. How about sitting down for a drink?”The Yateses looked at Alex, unsure of his purpose for suddenly coming here.He kept saying that the case was handled impartially. Could it be that he had discovered something?Alex replied coldly, “No thanks.”“We’re here today to arrest a person. I would like to ask Sir Yates to cooperate with us.”“What? Arrest who?” Keith and the others were all surprised.“Grant Bright from Regency Enterprise. You are suspected of multiple crimes. We have solid evidence, you’re being charged!”Alex said mercilessly, his expression icy.“Huh? What? I’m bei
Senior Oskar Armstrong was also very pleased.The victim’s family, who had initially blamed him, brought some fruits as an apology and to thank him personally.Oskar had no interest in pursuing fame, wealth, or power in his life. Instead, the happiest thing for him was to have his subordinate recover.Those who initially wanted to return the villas they’ve bought at Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort no longer clamored to do so.As it turned out, Senior Oskar Armstrong did not speak or advertise indiscriminately.The quality of the construction of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort was very good.In addition, Silver Nimbus Enterprise would find a way to upgrade the overall quality and supporting facilities after the whole fiasco.Who would be willing to return the villas that would increase in value?Soon the business of Silver Nimbus Enterprise resumed, with the exception of the few boutique villas that Mandy kept, which she planned to use for asking favors in the future.Other tha
The next day.Harvey was about to go to Sky Corporation when Mandy walked out of the room.“Harvey, I’ve acquired a piece of land in the past two days and I’m trying to finish the formal process.”“Xynthia’s taking her exams today. Can you help me send her?” Mandy asked.The incident went viral this time. Silver Nimbus Enterprise did not lose its reputation, but instead became famous.Mandy took advantage of the opportunity to acquire several lands in Buckwood that she fancied. She was preparing to purchase them and push Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s business to the next level.Harvey smiled when he heard of Mandy’s intentions.It was good that his wife was so motivated. He would take care of the little things for her.“Okay. I’ll send her there. She’s taking the exam at Buckwood University, right?”“Yes.”Although Harvey despised Buckwood University and planned to send Xynthia to a well-known university…Xynthia wanted to take the entrance exam by herself. Today was the day of
"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
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
