“You people…”After being insulted and slandered by her so-called family, Mandy’s face lost all color. She started swaying slightly, almost falling flat on the ground.When did she ever get insulted in such a way?Soundless tears fell down her face.Finn chuckled.“You’re crying? What’s there to cry about? If you dare to do something shameless like this, of course we’ll say it out loud!”“You’re shameless!”Finn felt refreshed after saying all that.He then shot a challenging glare at Harvey.‘What can a live-in son-in-law like you do to me?’But in the next moment, Harvey stopped right in front of him and launched a kick at him.Bang!The so-called champion of the Police Force Fight League, Finn, did not even have the chance to react. Harvey’s kick immediately sent Finn flying.“Pffft!”Finn slammed right into a telephone pole and coughed out blood.Yet before he could stand back up, Harvey had already walked over and stomped on his head, then smashed his head furiousl
On the other side.Harvey took Mandy and left.There were many things they needed to take care of immediately within Regency Enterprise.Unfortunately, the Yates family’s appearance had affected Mandy’s mood. Thus, everything had to be pushed back to the next day.Harvey’s expression was as cold as ice. In his eyes, the Yates family was already finished.When he visited them, they’d be buried under the dust of history!…At the same time, in the Yateses’ residence.Finn was lying on the bed, his face twitching every once in a while. His expression was horrible.The rest of the Yateses were sitting beside him. Their faces were twitching as well.Finn had already been sent to the hospital before.However, the family didn’t have a single dollar to spare. As such, they couldn’t afford Finn’s treatment.That was why they could only return home in the end.They looked at Finn who had suffered heavy injuries, and then at the ancestral house that was already mortgaged.Sadness we
“The Yates family from America?” Grandma Yates mumbled.Soon, she was brimming with life.“I remember now. My late husband once said that a long time ago, his uncle went to America to expand the family. It went great for him, and he had a billion dollars worth of assets over in America!”“Are you one of his descendants?”The other Yateses heard what Grandma Yates said.The half-dead family stood up, now extremely motivated, and then bowed respectfully.The Yates family from America!They’ve all heard of the name before!In these xenophilic people’s eyes, these people from America were the same as princes and the nobility!For the Yates family from America to come all the way here wasn’t too different from private visits of kings during ancient times.“What happened here?” Norton asked, frowning.The Yates family from America had no interest whatsoever in the Yates family from Buckwood.But because of the Morgan Financial Group incident, they felt that they could find a spok
Norton was indeed quite talented.He took all the funds he had when he came to Buckwood. In under a single day, the Silver Nimbus Enterprise crisis was completely solved.At the same time, he transferred a huge sum of money into the company’s account.He wanted to rely on the company to proceed with his next step to invade Buckwood’s market.There were also other financial groups supporting the Yateses of America from behind the scenes. They had come to Buckwood as well, representing America’s interests.While the Yateses of Buckwood more or less knew about this, none of them had any sense of shame and justice, let alone patriotism.The only thing they cared about was the money and benefits they could reap.With enough money and support, they didn’t need to bat Mandy an eye anymore.Meanwhile, in the hall of the Yateses’ ancestral residence… Norton sipped some red wine as he listened to Grandma Yates complain about Mandy.“You mean to say that your family got to this point b
The moment the Yates family heard of Norton Yates’ words, giddiness flashed across their faces.This was what they call a total uplift in one’s social status!Now that they had the Yates from America supporting them, the Yates from Buckwood would be the most powerful family in Buckwood in the future!Recalling Mandy Zimmer’s attitude towards the Yates family, they were going to devise a plan to get revenge on her for sure!That night, everyone in the Yates family was too excited even to fall asleep.Most of them were already mentally gearing up, awaiting the next day to arrive.It’s because the event where they knelt before the entrance of Regency Enterprise was the most shameful thing in the history of the Yates family!After all, they’re from a family of state officials and had lived their lives like royalties. When had they ever been treated like that?Although there’s a saying that goes, it's never too late for a nobleman to get revenge, and now that this opportunity presen
The Yates from America were practically idols of the Yates of Buckwood.Arrogant, mighty, and wealthy!This kind of great family was what the Yates family aspired to become.Because only then would they be fearless of anyone at all.Norton Yates clapped his hand to get everyone’s attention before cracking a smile. “I’ll give you three minutes to summon Mandy Zimmer right this moment. If not, I don’t know what will happen.”After his sentence ended, more and more people appeared at the scene. Most of the workers of Regency Enterprise were cautiously watching Norton.It’s because all of them witnessed how good Norton's bodyguards were at fighting.The matter immediately shocked Mandy, who has initially been in a meeting with the authorities. She then went to the hall on the ground floor with several people following her behind.When she saw the Yates family standing behind Norton, Mandy’s expression changed as she could already guess what’s happening.“Mr. Norton, this is the sh
Mandy Zimmer’s attitude irritated Norton Yates.After all, his words were always prized and obeyed by everyone. The Yates of America were like kings in the state of Texas.When they had business in other countries, the Yates did things recklessly and fearlessly as they had America as their back.This was the first time someone dared to reject him, which instantly made him dissatisfied. He sneered. “There are things which you can’t dictate and control merely with your words, Mandy Zimmer!“Now that you have half the blood of the Yates, you’re nothing but a mere servant in our eyes!“How can a servant have the right to go against a master’s command?!”Mandy had a perplexed look on her face as she asked, “Mr. Norton, in a modern and civilized society like this, are your mindsets still stuck in the feudal era?“Master? Servant? Are you joking?“Also, the shares of Regency Enterprise are gifted by an authority. Even if I want to transfer the shares, I could only do that to the autho
Seeing how Mandy Zimmer was still acting stubborn and determined during a moment like this, everyone in the Yates family felt excited and satisfied.That’s because the more stubborn Mandy became, the worse the situation she would be in!At that moment, the Yates couldn’t help but to fuel the fire.“Mr. Norton, Mandy Zimmer has always been this disrespectful towards the elders. Putting aside the Yates of Buckwood, she wouldn’t even care if it’s you, the esteemed Yates family from America!”“That’s right! A person like her needs a lesson!”“There’s no need to say anything more to someone like her. Just beat her up and beat her cruelly. She’d only feel scared once that pretty face of hers is ruined after getting hit!”Everyone from the Yates family acted and spoke ruthlessly like bullies.If it weren’t for Norton Yates’ presence, they would’ve hit Mandy to death themselves.Norton waved his right arm to stop the Yates from continuing their tirade.Then, his cold gaze landed on Ma
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
