Soon, the people from the Yates family went out together and finally managed to find out what happened.“It turns out that Mandy Zimmer has blindly invested a lot of money to speed up the progress of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project!”“Now that there is no money in the company account. Those executives resigned because they didn’t get their salaries this month!”“The construction team didn’t get the monthly payment. So naturally, they stopped working too!”“Also, rumors outside are spreading that Silver Nimbus Enterprise is in debt. So, those who bought the villas come and forcefully request to check-out!”“As for the bet-on agreement, it truly exists. Mandy signed it with Sky Corporation in the name of the company. It is said that this is a condition for her to become the CEO!”“In short, it’s all because of Mandy!”“This little b*tch actually threw a low ball to the Yates family!”“We even thought that we got a bargain!”After clarifying the things, all the Yates fa
Finally, the small and medium shareholders agreed to give the Yates family a few days to raise funds after the family had run their mouths dry.As a result, the Yates family needed to pay a hefty amount of liquidated damage since they were only given a few days' time. The total amount that they needed to pay was seven million and eight hundred thousand dollars.Although the Yates family was numb in the head at that moment, they agreed to the price to solve the crisis in front of their eyes.When the small and medium shareholders had left, the Yates family was dead silent.Everyone had cold sweat dripping down their faces. Their expressions were utterly horrible.Right when they all thought that all of it was over, a dozen pickup trucks suddenly stopped outside.Soon after, a bunch of roguishly looking gangsters immediately rushed inside.They were the suppliers of the building material all along.The gangsters only came because there was a payment overdue for a few days already
“Apologize! And then repay the debt!” Leyton Luv said while gritting his teeth.How would Finn Yates even be willing?He was the third-in-command of the Buckwood Police Station, after all. It would be too embarrassing for him to bow and apologize to those lowly suppliers.At this moment, Grandma Yates walked forward with an ugly scowl on her face.“Finn, there’ll be big trouble if you won’t solve the small ones. Go and apologize right now!“Ben, take out everything from our accounts and pay off the debts immediately!”Finn and Ben Yates were not willing at all.But Grandma Yates’ expression at that moment was as cold as ice. They had no choice but to do it.Finally, Finn gritted on his teeth and bowed to apologize to the suppliers.Ben, on the other hand, went and took out thousands of dollars from the Yates family’s bank account. They even had to mortgage a few of their cars to acquire a million and five hundred thousand dollars to pay off the supplies.All the suppliers had
“What? Every one of you seemed more energetic than the last when you got the money and benefits from the family!“Now that the Yates family is in a crisis, all of you just turn into mutes?”Grandma Yates furiously slammed her cane on the ground while trembling with anger.Everyone’s heads were hanging even lower. None of them could open their mouths and answer her.Because they never expected this affair to happen!“Now speak! What do we do about this? How do we clean up this mess?” Grandma Yates continued to exclaim furiously.“Grandmother, I think that we’ve been deceived by that bastard, Mandy Zimmer!”“Just think about it. We were the ones to point out that Mandy needed to give us all of her shares if she wanted Harvey York to stay alive!”“But the shares are worth three hundred million dollars! What kind of man is worth that money?”“And she just gave it to us like that!”“I think that she did it intentionally. She knew full well that Silver Nimbus Enterprise is a huge m
The Yates family was devising a strategy to get Mandy Zimmer back and fix the mess.Mandy was researching which industry to sink her hands into and reestablish another company.Harvey York had been encouraging her after all, telling her that Buckwood’s market would be massive and that there would be many opportunities.Besides, Mandy had always been a stubborn woman. She would always get back up from where she fell.With Harvey’s support, it reinforced her thought to start another business.She was at the Gardens Residence researching for plans, preparing to look for an angel investor.At that moment, Grandma Yates actually called her.“Mandy, you little bastard!“The Yates family has never done anything wrong to you, have we?!“How dare you plot against the family from the beginning?!“You deserve to die!“I hate it! When Lilian that bastard had you, I should’ve just made her abort you!“If that were the case, the family won’t end up like this!”Grandma Yates was scolding
Grandma Yates uttered her words full of virtue at that moment.She was playing both God and the Devil!Naturally, she knew of Mandy Zimmer’s personality.And that was her soft heart and her strong sense of family.The Yates family could leave everything behind for money and other gains.But Mandy might not do so.The point was already apparent when she could not bear to divorce Harvey York.If it were Phoebe Yates, a husband like this would be kicked to the ground by her.“Oh, Mandy. This is the last chance I’m able to give you. We can talk things out if you’re willing to come back!“If you don’t think of yourself, at least, think of your mother!“I’m her mother!”Grandma Yates was extremely gracious as if she were another person.The true meaning of reward after punishment.The words did slightly move Mandy’s heart.But in reality, she did not care much for Silver Nimbus Enterprise right now.But she hoped to keep the ties with the Yates family.It was because she over
Mandy Zimmer gritted her teeth lightly and sighed after a moment, not uttering a single word.She was only nice, not stupid. How could she not understand what the Yates family meant?But she could not pass the nagging feeling in her heart.Now that Harvey York brought the matter out into the open, the burden in her heart had been lifted.“Darling, thank you. I understand that they only treat me like a tool. I won’t listen to them again.“The Yates family can just die on their own.”Even though Mandy said that, her heart still slightly ached for the family.But Harvey was prepared not to give the Yates family another chance.He sent Xynthia Zimmer to survey for universities as an excuse to send Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates out of Buckwood to wander around Mordu and Wolsing for the time being.Under those circumstances, the Yates family had no way of contacting Simon and Lilian.***At the Yates family household.Everyone was desperately trying to call Mandy’s family but to
The fighter chuckled coldly.“Government officials? How prestigious! How menacing!“Did you think I don’t know that Keith Yates provoked the Chief Instructor himself and is in a coma at the military hospital?!“Does the Yates family have anyone else? Is everyone just relying on Finn right now?”Finn Yates was shivering with anger after hearing those words.Those people were not respectful at all toward the third-in-command of Buckwood Police Station.But this was normal.The suppliers had already spread the word about the Yates family early in the morning.Now that everyone knew that the Yates family were only a bunch of paper tigers, they would naturally take advantage of the situation if they wanted their money. If not, they might miss their window of opportunity.At this moment, Phoebe Yates walked forward with a disdainful expression and said, “You people, did you not know that the Chief Instructor will come over to our house after a few days?“Are you all not afraid of d
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface
A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
