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
Slurp!Norton Yates wetted his lips with his tongue as his gaze landed on Mandy Zimmer’s slim waistline.For him, Mandy Zimmer, who stood before him, was a dish.A delicious, mouth-watering dish.He’d get more excited if he started from her waist.Norton became so excited that he almost growled, imagining how Mandy would be twitching on the ground wailing in pain.Looking at Norton’s twisted expression, Mandy closed her eyes hopelessly.She didn’t think that anyone would be able to save her at the moment like this.Boom!However, at this crucial moment.Someone suddenly kicked off the entrance to the Yates’ family home.The giant door was smashed to the ground and made a loud bang.Everyone at the scene couldn’t help but turn over toward the direction of the sound.Everyone from the Yates family shuddered. After all, they were traumatized.Norton, on the other hand, knitted his brows together. Someone interrupted him just as he’s about to enjoy something. This obviously m
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,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
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
