Grandma Yates shook her head. “No. I heard that the new king of South Light’s streets is Tyson Woods, who is Prince York’s subordinate.”“To utilize the people from the streets to make our move is basically suicide.”At this moment, a young man standing in the corner, the Prince of the Cloude family, Eric Cloude, walked out and interrupted in a deep voice, “Three Chiefs, I have something to say.”The three chiefs looked at him at the same time. After a while, Carson replied, “What do you think?”Eric placed his hands behind his back as he said aloofly, “Since we can’t use the men from the streets, we can use a different way. How about inviting people from outside of South Light?”“I heard there are many mercenaries on the border of Ohio who are on the edge of survival. As long as we give them money, they’re willing to do anything. We three families should join hands and invite these people. They should be able to get rid of Harvey without anyone’s knowledge.”Callum Robbins and G
“Pfft.” Harvey laughed. “You’re from Siam, right?”“Why should I go with you?”The man snarled coldly, “You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t.”Harvey frowned. “Who did I offend?”“Just come with us quickly! Don’t force us to do it the hard way. Don’t blame us if the two ladies behind there get ruined when we accidentally hurt them!”The man was already running out of patience.Although this area was at the outskirts of the city, it was likely that passers-by would drop by. If that happened, they might call the police.If the police came into play, things would be a little troublesome.“I can go with you, but can’t you at least tell me who I have offended?” Harvey questioned righteously.“Fine, I’ll let you know. The person you’ve angered is Young Master Eric Cloude from the Cloude family. He’s the one who hired us to take you away!”The man then immediately yanked open the car door, grabbed Harvey, and then threw Harvey into his van.Harvey did not resist because he was afr
The man lit up a cigarette. He only smiled after blowing out a smoke ring. “Harvey York, Prince York’s representative, the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmers. Am I right?”“Who are you?” Harvey was indifferent.“Let me introduce myself. I’m Eric Cloude.” Eric said politely.“Have I offended you?” Harvey frowned. He truly had no clue about the dispute between him and the Cloudes.“You didn’t offend the Cloude family, but you shouldn’t have offended the Second Young Master.” Eric replied with a smile.“Second Young Master?” Harvey frowned, “Are you talking about that trash Quinton York?”“Huh?” Eric was taken aback for a second. “Did you just call the Second Young Master trash?” What was Quinton’s status in South Light?Even if he was defeated and had retreated to Hong Kong, in truth only few dared to talk of him.“A centipede dies, but never falls.” The Yorks were certainly obstinate.Yet Harvey, who was in front of Eric, had casually called Quinton York trash.Eric was no fo
“They’ve always been vicious. Since Harvey angered them and they took him away, he’s as good as dead.”“You should remarry!”Finn was all smiles. He could barely wait. According to the agreement, that trash Harvey was about to die soon, right?That trash dared to make Finn kneel before him!He definitely deserved to die by the hands of those gangsters!Seeing everyone’s sneers, Mandy grew desperate. She then kneeled in front of Grandma Yates, crying piteously, “Grandmother! No matter what, Harvey is still your grandson-in-law!”“Have you forgotten? Previously on your birthday, he tried his best to give you a gift!”“Even if it’s only because of that reason, please let Uncle save him!”Grandma Yates sneered. “Bribing someone with a mere pill? He must be dreaming!”“Mandy! If you still acknowledge the Yateses as your family, then just turn a blind eye on this matter.”“Wait until the news of his death is confirmed, then go through the formalities for widowhood. Grandmother wi
The Yateses had been waiting for this day for far too long!They were a family of bureaucrats. They were unable to make much progress in the business industry.Due to the lack of funds, they were unable to rise into a top-tier family for a long time.Now that they had Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s equity in their hands, they were one step closer into becoming a top-tier family. To some of the Yateses, right now, they were already a top family. When Keith saw that Mandy had signed the agreement, he immediately dialed his phone. “Is this Yannick Bisson, the Chief Inspector of Buckwood Police Department? I’m Keith Yates.”“My grandson-in-law, Harvey York, was kidnapped by a group of gangsters from Siam. I’ll leave this matter to you. I expect some results within twenty-four hours!”“Yes!”On the other side of the phone, Yannick quickly saluted and went to arrange various things.After hanging up, Keith said nonchalantly, “Just wait for the news quietly. Yannick Bisson is the Chief
Thud!A figure was sent flying, falling straight in front of Eric.Eric’s face, initially full of smiles, instantly darkened. He automatically turned around.When he took in the scene before him, he grew so frightened that he began to tremble. What was going on?Did all the mercenaries just collapse so easily?“You…who are you?!” Eric yelled instinctively. “Who am I? I’m someone you can’t afford to provoke.”“Help me pass this gift to the people behind you. Tell them that this is the consequence of angering me.”Harvey approached Eric.Eric staggered back in fear, petrified. He stammered, “Don’t come!”Crack!Harvey wasn’t interested in exchanging any nonsense with Eric. He stepped forward and kicked Eric’s right leg.“Ugh!”Eric, whose right leg was now broken, rolled on the ground. Harvey, indifferent, continued to stomp on Eric a few more times, instantly breaking all of the latter’s limbs.When did Eric, who had lived a life of extravagance, would face a predicamen
“Harvey, are you alright? They didn’t do anything to you, right?” Mandy didn’t care about anything else and hugged Harvey, studying him carefully.She was so worried, she almost fainted. Had she not been strong enough, she might be lying in the hospital right now.“Honey, I’m fine. Don’t cry, let’s go back.” Harvey gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Mandy’s eyes.He would surely follow-up on this incident until the end, but right now it was inappropriate to say this in front of Mandy.“You should send Halsey to the airport first. She almost missed the plane for your sake.”“I have something to discuss with Uncle and the others.”Mandy said, inhaling deeply.Harvey was a little confused, but he did not think much about it. Instead, he took Halsey away and sent her to the Buckwood International Airport.Meanwhile, Keith asked a lawyer to come and testify to the agreement.“According to the agreement, from this moment on, all the equity that was originally in Miss Man
“What do you mean…?” Grandma Yates pondered slightly.“Mother, we have to complete the act. We’ve just acquired Silver Nimbus Enterprise today. If Harvey gets killed within these two days, Mandy will easily grow suspicious of us.”“While I’m not afraid, if they find out about us while investigating, it’d mean big trouble!”“This time, the Yates family’s gains are huge. Naturally, we must be careful in everything.”Keith didn’t become a hothead just because he had obtained Silver nimbus Enterprise. On the contrary, he remained composed. Grandma Yates said, “We’re fine, but are the Robbinses and the Cloudeses willing to accept this?”“Also, how do we explain this to the Second Young Master?”Keith pondered briefly before flashing a shrewd look. “I’ll let the Buckwood Police Department increase the intensity of patrol and publicize it, with the excuse of preparing for South Light Military’s switch of defenses ceremony.”“As for the Second Young Master, we’ll say that due to the f
Linus almost wanted to slap the secretary out of fury. "I'm warning you! This is something we have to deal with ourselves. If we can, Emery will ally with us and help us deal with the small problems that we might encounter. But if we can't… Let me tell you what'll happen. Emery will kick us when we're down and will never offer us a helping hand!"Linus's expression became even darker after he said that. Those who were able to become one of the highest ranking members of the family, it didn't matter how arrogant they were or how materialistic they were, their basic judgment wouldn't stray too far away from being accurate. He was already able to guess Emery's personality. It was said that there was no love within a royal family. It was the same for wealthy families.The beautiful secretary nodded and whispered, "But Mr. Linus, our biggest problem is we're running out of resources. Without powerful locals from the country to help us right now, we're nothing when we're facing Yvonne
Wolsing Grand Hospital. Midnight.Linus was covered in bandages, looking in extremely bad shape. While he had plenty of bodyguards, the Islanders refused to stop no matter what. After the clash, they had beaten him up thoroughly. While there was no permanent injury, he was still covered in bruises.He used his right hand to pick up a cigar as he cursed, "Bastard! All these traitorous Islanders… They took my money… Not only did they do nothing, but they even attacked me! I will kill them after this!"He gritted his teeth. "And that witch Yvonne! She better not think this is over! One day, I'll find a way to kill all of you! Not only you, I will kill your whole family and that man of yours too!"At this time, Linus was no different from a woman scorned. All that was left for him to do was to take out his little book of grudges and start recording. As for how Yvonne managed to retaliate… Though Linus was furious with her, he was also terrified of her.The plot he had so meticulousl
Everything was over. Whether it was the Xaviers, the Islanders, or someone else, they couldn't do anything about this case anymore. With this video, no one could undo anything.On the second floor, Journi looked at what happened with shock. Only after a long time did she whisper, "All we needed to spend is 5,000?""I guess," Harvey said with a shrug. "But I needed to prepare some money beforehand. My subordinates found out that Linus bribed Nomura and the Islanders 100 thousand per head. Nomura and his ilk are greedy, so they agreed to it. I told my subordinates to leak the news that after the negotiation, Linus could gain a lot more benefits."The Islanders naturally wouldn't accept the fact that they'll only be able to gain a little profit, so our men approached them again and pretended to be part of Linus' men. They agreed to hike the price. I even transferred the money to them, so the Islanders had to give today's performance their all. If they had to go as far as to commit suic
"All of us were ready to commit suicide for the 50 million A dollars!""We even sold out our country, meaning we could never return to the Island Nations!""You either give us all the money back, or we'll never stop hounding you for it!" All the Islanders were extremely furious.In truth, the Islanders who were paragons of unity and love were ordinary people in the end and could be swayed by profit. Without the money, they wouldn't have given such a performance.Linus couldn't help but shudder when he saw all the Islanders looking at him with murderous intent, as if a pack of wolves were glaring at him, with the intent to kill. "Stop making such wild accusations!" he cried. "While I really did pay to tell you to work, all I did was give you 10,000 dollars! And that's not A dollars, but H dollars. As for paying all of you 50 million dollars per person… Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm willing to pay so much just so you'll frame Yvonne? Why don't you consider if you're w
The phones of all the Islanders who were willing to commit suicide started to vibrate. All the Islanders who were in their righteous fury took out their phones. When they saw the content on the screen, they roared—they were so angry that they almost went mad.They instantly got up from the ground, their eyes bloodshot. All of them glared at Linus, as if wanting to tear him apart. The reporters and spectators were a little shocked, and instinctively took a few steps back. It was obvious that they felt a murderous intent.Before anyone could react, Nomura waved his hand. All the Islanders surrounded Linus and his men. Linus frowned slightly. "What do you all want?""Fools!" Nomura immediately aimed his longsword at Linus. "Don't you people from Country A call yourself a civilized world? That obeying the contract is important to you? Why did you suddenly break the contract when we've done everything you asked us to do?"The other Islanders all looked at Linus with a murderous expres
Linus wore a victor's smile. The reason he looked for Tojo Nomura earlier was to accuse Yvonne and the Xavier family on the spot, to make sure they would be accused of being traitors.He didn't expect a little money to be enough to make them act. Good, good. All he could say was that no matter how powerful or barbaric the Islanders were, they were nothing before the great people of country A. Not to mention, he had already given them their rewards. Even if he didn't, the Islanders still had to act as he ordered.Yvonne frowned. Of course, she knew that nothing the Islanders said was true—merely defamation. The problem was that she couldn't understand why someone like Nomura, who was a disciple of Shinto Way, had to make up such lies.The moment that thought crossed her mind, Yvonne looked coldly at Linus and said, "Just how much did you give them to the point they're willing to sell their country?""Tsk! You think that's enough to scare me?" Linus smiled wryly. "Everybody knows h
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
