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
After getting along with Harvey these days, Mandy discovered that she had actually accepted Harvey from the bottom of her heart.It was just, there were still some barriers between the two which prevented them from living like a married couple.After this incident, Mandy found that she was unable to leave Harvey.It was especially evident when she saw him taken away by those gangsters. Mandy never wanted to experience that heartrending feeling again. How about taking this opportunity to consummate tonight?Consider it the last memory in this house…? A shy look appeared on Mandy’s originally pale face.Harvey, who was at the side, looked baffled. What was going on with this woman?Weeping one moment, laughing the next, and then being shy again.“Honey, what’s the matter with you? I’m fine, aren’t I?” Harvey automatically comforted her.“Nothing, I just want to cry. Oh, right.” Mandy took the initiative to change the topic. “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for y
Mandy fell into a daze when she listened to Harvey’s words.Was it true that she was deceived? Did Harvey get away by himself?Thinking about it carefully, the time frame did not seem to match. Keith did mention that the results of the investigation would be known within twenty-four hours.However, Harvey re-appeared within an hour.“Harvey, what are you thinking? You’re still bragging!”“Do you know who took you away? Those are gangsters from the borders of Ohio! Those guys kill without blinking!”“If it weren’t for the Yateses, who control the police in South Light, sending out many inspectors to find you and causing tremendous pressure on those gangsters, how would you still be alive?!”“You’d probably end up as a corpse!”“Didn’t you see that the people on the streets are from the police department? Buckwood’s security was raised for your sake!”Both Simon and Lilian assumed that they had known the whole story. Hence, they were livid right now. In their opinion, Harvey’s
Harvey’s bold words rendered Simon and Lilian dumbfounded.After some time, Simon sighed and lamented, “Forget it. At this point, we won’t say anything anymore.”“It’s not an easy day for you today. Take a good rest.”After that, Simon dragged Lilian away.Disappointed!There was only disappointment in their hearts!Evn in this kind of situation, Harvey still talked big. They couldn’t be bothered to say anything more at this moment.To them, a person like Harvey was utterly hopeless.Mandy smiled. “Honey, don’t make fun of me.”“In the future, let’s think of a way to start a small business. It won’t be difficult to survive if we do our part.”“If it doesn’t work, we’ll go sell on the streets. Haven’t we been engaged in the street stall vendors recently? How about starting tonight?”Mandy would always do what she said, and had a strong drive.She then went online to search for several small commodity wholesale markets nearby, and then took Harvey to stock the goods with inte
Mandy’s face went somewhat dark. She never expected that she would meet someone as wretched and disgusting as Nick when she set up this stall.“Manager Lachey, I think the stockings in your hands aren’t that good.”“Yeah!”Nick must have repeatedly mentioned Mandy in front of his subordinates.Not only did he harbor a deep resentment against Mandy for firing him, but he had always lusted over her.Harvey walked out from behind, frowning when he saw Nick.Seeing how Mandy was selling at the stall so happily, he had no intentions to stop her. Yet this guy came out of nowhere, intending to sabotage her, which made Harvey a little angry.Harvey’s eyes were cold. His gaze alone sent a chill throughout Nick’s body.Mandy was shocked to see Harvey. She hurriedly whispered, “Harvey, ignore these guys. We’re here to do business. As the saying goes, peace breeds wealth.”Apparently, she was afraid that Harvey would beat them up and land into trouble afterwards.She was no longer the
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
Harvey's expression became cold as he watched Mrs. Hoffman. He was completely done with her.Mrs. Hoffman bit her lip and stared at Hale for a long time. "You're right! The one who sold you out is me. I sold your identity to other people, too. I'm also the one that almost got you killed. When I heard about the Chapter of Ascension in the morning, I was also the one who sent the message!"Hale's expression was one of bitterness and grief. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Why?""Why?" Mrs. Hoffman scoffed, a hint of disdain on her face. "Why do you think I did this? Fine, I'll tell you. It's easy—after marrying you for so many years, I've never had a life of peace! We're either living in the streets or hiding! I didn't ask for a wealthy life. I just want a normal and peaceful life like any other ordinary woman! But I can't see us ever having that life! "If that's the case, why can't I gamble everything away? Why can't I sell you in exchange for wealth so I can have an e
Hale let out a bitter cry with a sorrowful expression. How could anyone expose that the person who slept next to them would be the one to stab them in the back?Hale whispered, "I simply didn't want that person to be you. You have been with me for so many years and have suffered so much. I've already treated you as my only family. If family like you betrayed me, it would do nothing but make me suffer."That was why I arranged such a test. I was hoping that Mr. Harvey would betray me once he knew who I really was and that I really did have the Chapter of Ascension. That way, I could continue executing my plans in peace."I didn't expect him to be completely uninterested in the Chapter of Ascension. Instead, you were the one who betrayed me again. It also meant that the one who turned me to Camellia and let her trace me was you…"Harvey didn't pin any blame on Hale after hearing what had happened. After giving it a thought, he said, "Normally speaking, we've just met for the first
"You… Hale! How…" Mrs. Hoffman crawled back up, her mind going black for a moment. She quickly pulled out her phone, about to make a call. Because she was too nervous, she kept on pressing the wrong numbers. She couldn't make that call.Harvey didn't say anything as he looked at this scene calmly.Meanwhile, Hale's expression began to change. There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the woman he loved. "Honey… Don't tell me that despite Mr. Harvey having no interest in the Chapter of Ascension, you let someone else get it instead? In short, you're the one that betrayed me… And has been betraying me…"A tear of blood formed from the corner of Hale's eyes as he spoke.Mrs. Hoffman, who was still trying to make that call, shuddered as she turned and looked at the man whom she had accompanied for many years.At the same time, someone pushed open the door. It was Clarion. He quickly walked into the room and leaned in next to Harvey, whispering, "Something happened
