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
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
