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
It was good that the real estate group only bought ten villas. The Yates family had already mortgaged their ancestral home in the middle of Buckwood and finally accumulated fifteen million dollars in total to keep those people away for now.In the span of just one day, all of the Yates family’s houses and cars were mortgaged.If they could not clear their debt when the mortgage date arrived and asked for more loans, they might even have to sleep under an overpass.Besides, this was only the beginning. If anyone were to come to claim their debt in the future, the Yates family wouldn’t even have the money to pay for it.They thought that the Yates family would be a top-rated family, but they never thought they would end up like this.Grandma Yates was filled with remorse!“Grandmother! What do we do now?”Phoebe Yates’ face had lost all color at this moment. She did not think that she would be faced with such circumstances as soon as she returned to the country.Grandma Yates cha
Harvey York looked over and smiled. “Isn’t it obvious? They’re here to make you their scapegoat.“Who else can they give the big mess of a company to none other than you?”MandyZimmer had already inquired about the situation of Silver Nimbus Enterprise via her sources. She then said with a frown, “According to my understanding of Silver Nimbus Enterprise, there shouldn’t be this many problems. How come so many problems arise as soon as I’m not in the CEO position anymore?“I feel like someone’s controlling everything behind the scenes.”“Of course,” Harvey replied calmly.“It’s me.”“Huh? There’s no way! If you had capabilities like this, we wouldn’t be here waiting for the people in Sky Corporation to invest in my business proposal.”Mandy simply did not believe Harvey.Harvey smiled and replied, “It’s relatively straightforward why this happened. It’s only because Silver Nimbus Enterprise had lost support from Sky Corporation.“Without Sky Corporation, the small and medium
The head of security was boiling with anger after hearing those words.“You ask us to do something for you with this attitude and then threaten to throw us in jail? Do it then! I dare you!“Where do you think this place is?!“This is Sky Corporation!”A dozen security guards immediately came forward and kicked the entire Yates family out of the building.Poor Yates family, they were a first-rate family, after all. They had never experienced something like this their whole lives.Grandma Yates was shivering with anger. Most of the Yates family’s authority belonged to Keith Yates. He was also the one who befriended those big shots everywhere.But right when Keith was gone, the family turned out like this.Grandma Yates could not even find a way to contact a single higher up from Sky Corporation.A Rolls Royce was parked at the entrance of Sky Corporation at this moment. Ray Hart could be seen walking out of the car.The moment Grandma Yates saw Ray out of his car, she thought s
Harvey York was in sight.All of the Yates family that was flaunting their authority at the reception hall were showing gleeful expressions.‘So what if Harvey’s arrogant?’‘In front of the Yates family, he’s just a little brother!’‘Of course, he had to show up obediently!’The Yates had shown their faces as if they had won.In their eyes, their arrogant actions in Sky Corporation before were to smoke out Harvey and Mandy.As expected, Harvey had shown up.This was the Yates family’s power!Harvey walked toward the Yates family and smiled.“The Yates family sure is incredible. Did all of you even think about the place you’re in?“You dare to cause a commotion in the Sky Corporation building? All of you must be looking to die!”“We’d only do this because of you and Mandy Zimmer anyway!” Grandma Yates chuckled coldly.“Where is Mandy anyway? Why isn’t she here to see me?”“Yeah! Mandy left such a big mess for the family. It would be logical for her to come back and fix i
Harvey York’s tone was as cold as ice. This was the last chance that he gave the Yates family.But after they froze over since the beginning, they all burst out laughing soon after.“Hahahaha…”“Grandmother, this man thinks that he can just step on us like that just because we got into some trouble!”“I think he doesn’t know how to assess the situation clearly!”“I’ve already gathered all the information about him. He’s just a driver for Prince York himself. Does a mere driver want to destroy the entire Yates family? Stop daydreaming!”“He can’t fix his old habit of boasting up a storm after all!”“You’re threatening the Yates family? Did you really think that we have nobody else supporting us?”All of the Yates family’s expressions were as cold as ice.No matter how in decline the family was, it was still not a family that a mere live-in son-in-law could just step on.Not to mention that the Chief Instructor was going to visit them after three days.Once the Yates family’s
The men from the Yates family all leaked out intense expressions after hearing Phoebe Yates’ words.They should be handling people that betrayed the Yates family like this.“Grandmother, what should we be doing next?!” Someone asked while frowning.The Yates family was faced with a dire problem. If they could not get Mandy to be their scapegoat, they might not have an easy time solving the problem.Grandma Yates gave a deep thought about the situation, then slowly replied, “As of right now, we can only make a desperate attempt!“Stop caring about Silver Nimbus Enterprise for now. Instead, use your sources to spread the word that the Chief Instructor is about to visit us after three days!“In addition, spread rumors saying that the Chief Instructor might be interested in Phoebe. But remember, don’t let anybody catch on to the source!“I don’t believe that ignorant fools will cause trouble for us after knowing the Chief Instructor might be our future son-in-law!”After hearing Gr
Harvey York gave a thought about the situation and replied, “It’s fine. I’ll head to the auction myself. I haven’t been in one for quite a while.”There were too many things happening. He had rarely taken Mandy Zimmer out to relax recently.This was an excellent opportunity.Even though the Yates family might not continue to cause Harvey trouble after being threatened, it was better if he still took caution.Leaving would be the same as staying away from trouble, for the time being, at least buying time for Mandy to cool down for the next two days.On the following day, early in the morning, Harvey had woken up Mandy.“Darling, let’s pack up and head out if you have nothing planned for today.”Mandy blinked with her big shining eyes and asked while perplexed, “Why? Aren’t we supposed to continue looking for investors at Sky Corporation today?”Harvey chuckled.“Not today. We’re going on a trip!”Mandy shook her head.“If we go on a trip at this crucial moment, we might miss
"Of course, I know you don't want to be a woman like them," the man with the slicked-back hair said as he played with a lighter in his left hand, with a confident expression. "That's why, after giving it some thought, I'm willing to give you another way out. It's the same condition as before. If you're willing to come with me, not only will I give you your dignity and endless wealth, I can make you enjoy the joys of being a woman. See? Even your mother sold you. There's no harm for you to come with me!"The man, who was called Royce Yates, revealed a malicious smile. Although a man like him had toyed with plenty of women, he never really had the chance to be with a beauty who shared a deep connection with him.It did not make him feel disgusted at all. The blood relation they shared made him feel excited. To someone like him, the more taboo something was, the more excited they would be.The bodyguards standing behind Royce revealed a relishing smile when they heard it. The only thin
Ten minutes later, Harvey and Tyson left the estate's gate. After that, Tyson stepped on the gas and they quickly headed to a hotel in the countryside of Wolsing.Harvey even made a few calls during the journey. George quickly sent in new information he had gathered."Sir, people from Country A hold the shares of the Geraldton Hotel in the countryside. This hotel benefits from some kind of extraterritoriality. Those who came to this place were either the wealthy or the powerful. You might have some recollection about the person who has the majority of shares in this hotel. It was the Yates of Country A."After what happened in South City earlier, they stayed silent for a while before extending their influence in our country again. The Geraldton Hotel is their family's stronghold in our country. Your ex-sister-in-law, Xynthia, is related to the Yates. This time, the Yates used their relationship with your ex-mother-in-law Lilian to invite Xynthia to their talent show in this region.
There was a moment of deep thought on Geoffrey's face. After a moment, he asked Neve, "Neve, tell me about a few verses regarding your training technique that involves mental strength. I'll give it a look."Neve hesitated momentarily, leaned closer to Geoffrey's ear, and whispered a few sentences. Geoffrey's expression changed as he listened to those words. He closed his eyes and simulated it carefully in his mind.After a long while, Geoffrey opened his eyes and coldly said, "From today onward, stop practicing Servitas' mental cultivation technique. You have to give up all of it. Also, seal the remaining Six-Paths Fragrance and send them to Dragon Cell for analysis. See if there's anything inside that is hallucinogenic…"Then, Geoffrey remembered something else. "Did your teacher personally teach you all the mental cultivation techniques?" A hint of tension flashed through Geoffrey's eyes when he asked the question. If Servitas really did intentionally teach Neve a technique with s
After hearing what Harvey had to say, everyone exchanged glances. Lune and Sol were very experienced, and they quickly zoomed into the video recording and started to check the details. After carefully scanning it, everyone noticed Neve's action was extremely mechanical, and her eyes were completely blank. Even her actions activating the Rainstorm Needles were extremely puppetlike.When Neve saw this, she was shocked. "How can I fall under someone else's control like this? I'm trained in Servitas' school of martial arts, and it demands extremely high mental mastery. How can I fall into someone's control so easily? Not to mention that one doesn't have to use the Six-Paths Fragrance to control me, right? But most importantly… I've never fallen for someone's mind control until Harvey appeared… Could it be that it's you who are controlling me?" Neve immediately turned to look at Harvey, looking vigilant.Harvey rolled his eyes. "What's the point of me doing that?""So you can get my gran
"Stop! Everyone, stop!" When Lune and Sol saw what was happening, they were stunned and stopped right before Harvey. They knew Geoffrey's condition, so they were very sure that it was Geoffrey's inner demon going wild just now."Drop all your Rainstorm Needles right now! We can decide everything once Mr. Geoffrey is awake!" Lune ordered the men and quickly checked the mobile that was already set up nearby, wanting to see what was happening."Are you stupid, Lune? Didn't you see that my grandpa is almost dead because of him? Sol, stop them right now! Do it! Kill Harvey! Kill whoever dares to stop you!" Neve screamed, on the verge of a breakdown.The dozens of security guards exchanged glances and hesitated and did not dare move when they saw how chaotic it was in the study."We'll see who's behind this right now!" Lune had already grabbed the phone, and he immediately projected what the phone had recorded onto the wide-screen TV in the study.Soon, they all saw how Neve appeared at
Harvey instinctively kicked Geoffrey's chair when he narrowed his eyes, looking at what was happening. There was a bang, and the chair fell to the ground. The silver needles from the Rainstorm Needles flew past where the two of them were just moments ago, striking the big desk.Instantly, a big hole appeared on the desk, and corrosive liquid flowed out. It was terrifying. However, Neve blankly raised her right hand. Just as Harvey was about to make his move, Geoffrey appeared right before Neve and grabbed her right hand tightly, his expression brutal."How dare you… I have raised you for twenty years! And now, you want to kill me? Time to die!" As Geoffrey said that, he moved Neve's arm and aimed the Rainstorm Needles in her sleeve right on her own forehead.Harvey blinked, and he instantly knew what was happening.Because of Neve's assault, the inner demon within Geoffrey clawed its way out. Geoffrey had already lost control. Meanwhile, Neve started to regain some clarity from the
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
