“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
The expression on Nick’s face grew even more smug when he heard Mandy talking humbly like this.“CEO Zimmer, since you say it that way, then I’ll have to watch over your business.”“All these stockings, I want them!”Nick looked more despicable when he finished speaking. “I want to buy a pair too!”“Hahaha…!”Nick’s subordinates laughed wretchedly. Their eyes fell on Mandy, full of desire.Nick grinned maliciously and said, “Mandy, I heard you already gave away all of Silver Nimbus Enterprise’s equity. That means you have nothing left now. Maybe you can’t even rent a house!”“How about this? Recently, our company's looking for a secretary for me. Seven hundred and eighty dollars a month.”“I haven’t found a suitable candidate yet. If you behave well, I could give that position to you!”“But you have to remember one condition of being my secretary. You have to sleep with me!”Harvey couldn’t hold back anymore. This guy was too filthy. Right now, Harvey wanted nothing more th
Nick hastily got up from the ground.He was livid and humiliated. He took out his phone and pressed the dial button.“Brother Fly, it’s me, Nick!”“I was beaten by a street vendor in the pedestrian street!”“This is your turf. You must come and give me justice!”Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard Brother Fly’s name.After a while, someone could not help saying, “Hey, boss. This Brother Fly you mentioned, could he be the big boss of the pedestrian street?”“You’re quite knowledgeable. Yeah, it’s that Brother Fly!”“Brother Fly is one of the big bosses on the streets. He watches over the pedestrian street!”“He’s my big brother!”Nick had a triumphant expression on his face.Many people’s expressions changed drastically at this statement. As of this moment, some of the street vendors’ complexions were extremely awful.A few kind stall owners couldn’t help but exclaim, “Girl, hurry up and go!”“Brother Fly isn’t that simple! Everyone who sets up a stall here has t
"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
