“Think of something? What can you even do? Propose to someone else? Who, the CEO? The problem is, the CEO’s a man!”Someone from the crowd exclaimed.Following this, a few of them began throwing criticisms at Zack once more. ‘According to the original plan, everything would be fine if Mandy Zimmer was the one who got the contract, even if it meant everyone would receive less money. But this troublemaker had to ruin the plan and stir up chaos, further escalating their chances of going bankrupt. Were it not for Senior Zimmer, Zack would have surely been shred to bones and pieces right there and then.’“Yeah! If only we followed Mandy’s plan!”“Boasting on and on about how great you are! See what’s happening now? You’re trash!”“Zack Zimmer, don’t tell me you’re actually one of the spies from the other families?”Zack expressed his dismay, “My dear uncles, all of you have been supporting me from the start. What’s more, I’m also one of the victims here! Please don’t worry, I’ll wor
“Old Man Stone, how can you add insult to the injury at a time like this?”“Yeah! Where are your business ethics?”“Last night, all of you arrived with fancy gifts in order for us to propose to you partnerships. And now in just one day, you’re retracting them? How despicable!”Upon hearing that, Yohann Stone and others did not back down and continued to retaliate.Filled with rage, Senior Zimmer slammed the table and bellowed, “Enough!”Only until the voices died down did he turn to Yohann Stone. With a sincere look on his face, he asked, “My friends Stone and Brooke, I cannot do anything now that you have decided on this. Given that we’ve been partners for so many years, could you possibly give us three days to fix this problem? We’ll terminate our contracts if we still can’t solve the problem in three days. How about that?”Yohann Stone and the rest exchanged glances of agreement and nodded. “Alright. We’ll give you three days, seeing as how we’ve been business partners for suc
Senior Zimmer smiled, his eyes glinting. “Mandy, I know you feel wronged and you’re mad at us. I apologize for not trusting you wholeheartedly before. Sean, Zack, come over and apologize to Mandy as well!”Sean and Zack Zimmer glanced at one another awkwardly. They were already used to having people bow to them. To have either of them to apologize to Mandy, the family’s outcast, proved difficult indeed.The thing was, they had little choice but to do so. Taking in a deep breath as he faced Mandy Zimmer, Zack Zimmer bowed his body slightly and apologized. “Mandy, this time it’s my fault that I caused all of this trouble. Please forgive me.”A wicked grin flashed briefly across his face as he kept his head down, but he hid it well.On the other hand, Sean Zimmer grinned like a Cheshire cat and said, “Mandy, now that Zack has apologized, as your uncle I will also apologize to you. I promise the same thing will never happen again. Can you visit York Enterprise for my sake?”“For your
“Sir, your wife is here again for the matter regarding the investment. What should we do about it?” This time, Wendy Sorell really didn’t know what to do. Had it been Zack Zimmer again, she could kick him out with no issue. However, Mandy’s identity was too special for her to do anything as absurd.“Oh, her again?” Harvey York pondered for a moment and understood instantly. A man as cunning as Senior Zimmer would have obviously thought of this solution, since the Zimmers wouldn’t survive a second longer without the partnership with York Enterprise.Mandy Zimmer’s face flashed in his mind. Harvey York softened up slightly and said, “Then, this time, we’ll give them an investment fund of fifty million dollars…”“Huh?” Wendy Sorell couldn’t believe her ears.“The contract would be the same as last time.” Harvey York added. “If the Zimmers do anything stupid again, we’ll have guaranteed access to this property right away.” Realization dawned across Wendy’s face. The CEO was as smart
CEO’s office.Staring at the screen with both hands behind his back, Harvey chuckled. “Wendy Sorell’s doing a good job here. When the time comes, I should promote her as the general manager.”Yvonne Xavier, who was wearing her hair down, stood behind him. At his words, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and lightly replied, “Yes, then I’ll thank the CEO on behalf of Wendy for now…”Harvey York smiled and said, “Remind Wendy Sorell to wholeheartedly do her job as a good actress. There’s no need to be so polite just because Mandy’s my wife. I don’t even know how long we can last as husband and wife…”Saying this, Harvey York sighed. His feelings for Mandy were real. However…Upon hearing that, Yvonne Xavier was struck with shock. She didn’t seem to have absorbed the earlier parts of his words. “CEO, you… do you want a divorce?!”“Is it strange that I want to divorce her?” Looking outside with a faraway stare, Harvey York sighed. “I admit I definitely feel something deeper a
An Amex Card!The card lying before her was indeed the legendary Amex Black Card! There were no more than five pieces of Amex Black Cards in the whole city of Niumhi. Whoever owned this card must be someone distinguished and reputable!Even with this thought in mind, Sheri Wilson calmed herself down. There were only so few Amex Black Card holders, and the bank even had a special customer service counter for the sake of these customers’ privacy. It’s definitely impossible for them to come all the way here over a matter as trivial as increasing the withdrawal amount! Plus, these customers were prestigious folk who donned fancy attire. They wouldn’t even bother lining up to small cashiers like these.Sheri Wilson’s mind was fixated. Either this card was fake, or it was stolen from somewhere else!‘People nowadays really do have the guts to try this, huh?’Looking at Harvey York, Sheri Wilson shook her head inwardly. Her upper lip curled even more in disdain.The next thing he knew,
As she spoke, Sheri Wilson laughed scornfully in her mind. Yvonne Xavier’s looks, body and elegance weren’t just a class above hers. Sheri was envious, but she refused to admit it.‘This thief is something else. He went around lying to people that he’s a CEO, how shameless can this man be?’Yvonne Xavier fixed her gaze on Sheri Wilson and said in a serious tone, “Please be mindful of your language. This is our company’s CEO. If you keep up with this disrespectful act, we don’t mind opening an account at another bank. Your bank may be reputable, but there are other banks in this city as well.”‘Our very own CEO who invested millions of dollars without even blinking an eye, and you called him a thief? This has to be the worst joke ever.’Sheri Wilson sized Yvonne Xavier up and down and replied contemptuously, “Should I believe you just because you’re saying he’s not a thief? Do you even know what’s an Amex Black Card? Only people who own billions of dollars in our bank would have the
“I’m okay, sir, but you…” Yvonne Xavier was worried. How could a CEO with a high status be wronged in this way, at a degrading place such as this to boot?Harvey York said faintly, “I’m fine. Let their president come and see us. We’ll stop using this bank for my accounts, the company’s accounts, and the company’s investment funds.” “Yes, sir!” Yvonne agreed immediately. When she looked into Harvey’s eyes, she became filled with determination. There was no doubt that the CEO was indeed the CEO. One simple command from him alone would determine the life and death of this bank. She thought that this decision was irreversible, even if the president did come.“Are you still pretending? You still have the guts to play pretend? It really is a pity that you didn’t go on to become actors!” Sheri Wilson chided. “You! Take the card!”At her behest, one of the security guards quickly grabbed the Amex Black Card from Harvey. Harvey chuckled coldly. He offered no resistance and simply allowe
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
All of Clarion's men exchanged looks. They did not want to but had no choice but to retreat. It was obvious that they could not simply watch Neve die like that. Harvey quickly motioned to Mandy, signaling for her to exit with her.Shortly after, they arrived at an empty space on the surface. An armed helicopter was waiting there. They had moved it here from somewhere, and it was also warmed up. Harvey took Neve hostage and was going to bring Mandy up into the helicopter.But before they could get any closer, hundreds of men and women in uniform appeared and surrounded them. They were all armed with weapons such as Rainstorm Needles and Royal Flushes, specially designed against martial arts masters. If they were used, the damage they could cause would be devastating."Do you really think you can escape, Harvey?" Lanny walked out from behind the crowd."I've indeed prepared a helicopter for you, but do you dare to go up? If you do, we have plenty of weapons to take it down so you can
Blade's expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Harvey had said. For someone like him, who had obeyed the laws of Grand City all his life, what Harvey had said was a hard pill to swallow. The point was that Harvey was right.While what happened looked like a coincidence, it resulted from Lanny's deliberate neglect. Was it not a joke for them to want Harvey to follow the rules when they themselves broke the rule first?However, Neve did not seem like she was threatened at all. She was already in a state of crazed fury, and she smiled. "You killed my fiance and then slapped me? Do you think you can leave just like this? Dream on! Even if I had to die today, I'll drag you down into the grave with me!"Crack!Harvey tightened his grip and snapped Neve's right arm. Then, he took the Rainstorm Needles and aimed them at Neve's head again. This simple action showed Harvey's determination.Neve almost let out a scream of pain as she could not stop shuddering from the pain of he
Neve, Lanny, and the others figured that once they captured Mandy, they would have it in the bag. They could do whatever they wanted to Harvey. However, they did not expect Harvey to respond with such fierceness."How dare you, Harvey!" After a moment of silence, Clarion finally reacted to what had happened. And as he waved his hand, everyone around him immediately rushed over. All of them raised the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, aiming at Harvey. It was as if they would turn Harvey into a beehive if he dared to make another move."How dare you touch me? Even my dad never hit me! You have a death wish! You're just a powerless representative! Even if you do have power, your demise is already determined after what you did openly just now!" Neve's face became twisted with anger."I might not be able to do anything to you if you don't touch me, but now that you did, no one in this world can protect you!" There was a crazed look on Neve's face. Obviously, she believed that Harvey wou
After Neve made her orders, all the men and women beside her revealed what was under their sleeves. They were all wearing the martial art weapons, the Rainstorm Needles. This was something ten times better than guns when targeting martial artists.However, Harvey ignored all of them and continued moving forward. He exclaimed coldly, "Stop! If any of you are going to continue to attack Mandy, I'm going to cripple you!"Neve gave an icy smirk. There was only disdain on her face as she narrowed her eyes at Harvey. "Who do you think you are, Harvey? Do you think you're in a position to make me stop just by telling me? Are you having heartaches for her? I'm going to hurt her right before you now!"Neve kicked Mandy to the ground and then stomped on her stomach. "You witch! Witch! Let's see who can stop you tonight! Durandal is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore! I'm not going to stop until you're dead!"Then, Neve revealed the Rainstorm Needles under her sleeves and put them
Jackson's eyes narrowed when he heard what Clarion had said, but he said nothing else. He gave Harvey an apologetic smile and then ordered his men to temporarily take Harvey into the prison at the back. While it was nothing more than symbolism, Blade knew that Clarion simply wanted to use this chance to disgust Harvey.Just when Harvey was going to be taken away, Clarion pulled out his mobile and dialed a number. Shortly after, the door was once again kicked open with a bang.Then, Durandal's companions appeared with anguished expressions. They were led by a long-haired man and a woman in a face mask. Once they entered the courtroom, the woman removed her mask. She was so sorrowful as if her husband had passed away.As for that long-haired man, while he had lost a finger and had his hand bandaged, there was a malevolent aura coming from him."Mandy! How could you kill my fiance?! I'll kill you!" The woman was instantly filled with rage the moment she saw Mandy. She immediately ran
Shortly, Blade escorted Harvey through the door made of rock. They followed the staircase down and into an underground area. It was quite spacious down there, and it was probably formed naturally. Plenty of man-made structures were built within the underground space.However, these buildings must be at least hundreds of years old. The lights added afterward suggest this was some kind of underground city.Harvey was quickly dragged to a place that looked like an ancient court. There was a sign board saying "Justice" on top, and three different kinds of guillotines were placed there. Bronze, silver, and gold. The ground under the guillotine seemed to be dark from the color of dried blood. One could faint by just watching the dried blood.It was obvious that countless people had died under these guillotines in the past few centuries. Harvey was unfazed by them. Instead, he found a bench and sat down, enjoying the sights of his surroundings.Those who were informed would know that he w
After a long while, Harvey sighed and said, "If that's the case, can you let me see the original files and conversation with the nurse? I also wanted to know just what kind of evidence the people from the Forbidden Wasteland believed was real."When Lanny heard Harvey's request, she coldly replied, "I'm sorry. But we haven't reached that part of the procedure yet. We know that you might be someone at the True Warrior level. It would be easy for an elite like you to assassinate or mislead someone. That's why, before we can confirm their safety, we won't show you any of the evidence or witness."Harvey shrugged. "I do have the power of a True Warrior. If I wanted to, I could easily kill everyone standing here.""I know," Lanny answered coldly. "But will you? No one is an island in this world. If you do that, all your friends and family will die because of you. Grand City will also categorize you as the most dangerous criminal and will do everything we can to kill you."You know all o
