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 York had restrained himself from going all out. Aside from the security guard who tried to tackle Yvonne Xavier, he was quite merciful toward the others. This security guard’s body had become quite distorted, and his face kept flinching in pain. This thief’s movements were unexpectedly swift and skilled.Although the security guards lived pampered lives, they were quite capable and did not lack in skills. Yet, they did not expect that they would lose a fight this badly.Sheri watched the scene unfold with her eyes widened and her mouth hung open. At that very moment, there was no other reaction that she could give. If there was such a thing as a medicine to turn back time, she wouldn’t have snatched Harvey’s phone away for sure.Harvey had no intention to stop. He trampled on the security guard’s thigh, sending the man kneeling at that instant. He said quietly, “As a man, you should never hit a woman under any circumstances. This is a basic principle. You better apologize.
Boom!At that instant, a group of people appeared at the door. Tens of security guards surrounded the chief manager as he strode in with his beer belly. His eyes twitched when he saw the chaotic scene before him. He did not expect so much to have happened in the time he made that call. However, the president was soon to arrive. He had a stable pillar to lean on, and thus he was exceptionally calm. “Hey little br*t, at first we only needed to send you to the police station for stealing that bank card. At most, you’d only have to endure a few days in jail.” The chief manager said, all the while smiling in delight. “Now that this has happened, I’m afraid that matters won’t be so simple for you anymore.” Harvey York lifted his head and looked up with a smile. “Have you come, Mr. Chief Manager? I have a question for you. Aren’t you afraid that you wouldn’t achieve whatever you have in mind? With this much arrogance, I’m afraid that you might not be able to save yourself no matter how
George briefly hesitated before continuing and said, "I also noticed something other than this. The Island Nation embassy was preparing for a wedding. From the looks of it, tonight would be the wedding."From my informants, the people getting married are Yvonne and Shingen."Geroge paused momentarily before continuing, "From what I heard, Yvonne lost her parents a long time ago, and Sheldon brought her up. However, Sheldon is still imprisoned within the Xavier of Wolsing's ancestral land. I heard that if Yvonne refuses to marry, then Sheldon will die."Only now did Harvey manage to connect the dots. For example, why did Yvonne leave without saying a word? For instance, why would Yvonne suddenly marry another man? When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey extended his right hand, slammed the table, and said, "From now on, you have the authority to use everything I have. But you must get Sheldon out before the wedding tonight."George was stunned. "Sir, please do anything rash! That'
"You!" Liza was so furious that she seemed to go berserk as she kept pouncing at Rachel. Unfortunately, Rachel had already realized that her lower half was defenseless. No matter how she attacked, Rachel would only focus on her legs.After exchanging blows, Rachel used a chance to kick Liza in the stomach. Liza let out a scream as she was immediately thrown out. When she dropped to the ground, the burst of internal energy and the drug after-effects made her twitch on the ground, and she could not get back up after some time."See? This is the price you pay for your revenge," Harvey signaled Rachel to stop as he looked at Liza and gave a sigh. "The power of martial arts comes from training for a long period. You, or should I say, the person behind this all, had the wrong understanding. They all think that you, after using the genetic drug, would be able to kill me with your increased power."Unfortunately, it was meaningless. In front of absolute power, your fake power meant absolute
"Everything was an act that you directed yourself! Your acting is so good that even I almost believed all of this!" Liza could not be bothered by Harvey's explanation as she was drowned in her own rage. "Someone like you can lie to the entire world, but you can't lie to someone as smart as us! All the other overseas Martial Arts Alliance will fight you till the end! We won't allow someone like you to have such a high position within the Alliance!"And then, Liza pulled out the one last syringe and stabbed it into herself. Then, she moved. She roared as she pounced toward Harvey's location.Bang!Charlotte instinctively stepped before Harvey, using her hands to block Liza's attack wave. However, she did not expect that after Liza had injected herself with so much drug, not only had her power increased, but her entire combat capabilities also had improved.Charlotte, who could normally crush Liza, was forced back after one single punch. She only stopped after she slid almost 30 feet
"Are you stupid, Liza?" Charlotte stepped forward, glaring coldly. "Even Dragon Cell proves Harvey's innocence; someone tried to frame him! But here, you accuse him of being the culprit without any evidence? Are you joking? Or do you think that the Martial Arts Alliance doesn't kill!"Then, Charlotte placed her right hand on the hilt of her longsword, as if she would fight if Liza refused to back off. Rachel also stepped forward, and a throwing knife appeared in her hand as she glared at Liza with icy eyes."Do you think I'll believe whatever you say?" Liza said coldly as she laid her dark eyes on Harvey. "Not only did this bastard personally kill Wilhelm, but once he's exposed, he even lets his underlings kill Donald and the others by imitating him! You left so much evidence, so you befuddled the investigation! So you can let yourself off the hook!"Liza smiled coldly. "Harvey, you can deceive others, but you can never deceive me! There are plenty of ways within the community of th
Harvey narrowed his eyes. He was pretty surprised that someone would attack him at this critical moment. Could it be that just as Jesse had mentioned… There were plenty of people who wanted him dead.Bang!But before the pickup truck could reach Harvey, a Benz SUV rammed right into its side as it rushed out from another alley. The truck was hit so hard that it lost control and swerved into a nearby tree.The driver of the Benz SUV did not stop. Instead, he pressed on the gas again, damaging the pickup truck even more. The SUV driver jumped out only when the pickup truck's fuel tank caught on fire.Harvey gave the driver a look. It was Ray.It was obvious that Ray was still as careful after so many years when he first joined Harvey. Even at this time, he still kept his cards close to himself. Otherwise, even if Harvey did not die, he would still be in so much trouble.Harvey nodded at Ray. He was going to check who was inside the pickup truck when someone kicked the windshield ope
Once all the paperwork had been completed, it was already seven at night. When Harvey left the prison, he saw many had already been waiting for him outside.In addition to Charlotte and Prince from the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Tyson, Ray, George, and Rachel were present. From a certain perspective, they were Harvey's greatest supporters within Country H.After Harvey got into prison, they used everything in their repertoire to prove Harvey's innocence. It was something worth celebrating, and they felt fortunate now that Harvey was released.Other than Harvey's crew, Mandy was also there.She gave Harvey a smile from some distance away. The worry on her face also disappeared. Harvey gave Mandy a nod. Initially, he was going to greet her, but he saw a Toyota van parked not far away from the corner of his eye. The van's windows were all tinted black, but Harvey could sense someone familiar looking at them.He suddenly realized who was inside the van. At that moment, he stoppe
In truth, Jesse did understand Harvey somewhat. He knew from the very beginning that with Harvey's character, he would not have killed Wilhelm.The reason he threw Harvey into prison was to protect him, other than it being the Xavier family's order as well. But he did not expect something like this to happen outside.Not only Donald had died, but all the young men and women he brought back also mostly died. All of them died the same way. They could not even resist, all of them slain in one slash. It was as if the person who killed them possessed incredible power and was very familiar with them.Other than Liza, who left the residence at the time, all the people from the other three Martial Arts Alliance who came back from overseas had been killed.The information was from Wolsing's precinct. It was absolutely unbelievable to them that something like this would happen at the country's seat of power. That was why the precinct contacted Wolsing's Dragon Cell, hoping they could work to
"Or maybe you forgot who you are, Jesse. How dare you conspire with the Islanders!" When Jesse heard Harvey's words, he narrowed his eyes. Harvey's questioning was sharp and dug into his heart. However, from Harvey's angle, he was not exactly wrong.Jesse took a deep breath and said, "I'm not going to lie to you. The Xavier family as a whole has its own considerations, as well as my own personal thoughts."But you are gravely mistaken. The Xaviers aren't conspiring with the Islanders. However, we simply don't want you to go to our family and mess things up before Yvonne is married. So… Harvey, stay here."On the one hand, this is for Yvonne's own good if you really care about her. On the other hand, isn't this my way of protecting you too? You can't imagine just how many people outside want you dead…"Firstly, I can understand why because I exposed just how shameless families like you are, despite my own contempt for it." Harvey shrugged. "But I don't understand your second point.
"We meet again, Harvey. What? Do you think Dragon Cell's fried chicken is to your taste, so you came in for a stroll?"At the same time when Donald was being killed, Jesse walked into the Dragon Palace's interrogation room and watched Harvey enjoying his fried chicken meal with a hint of helplessness on his face."I didn't want to, but they got me with some concrete evidence, so I have no choice," Harvey said as he put down his fork before turning over to Jesse. "I've got a few things I want to ask you, but you're quite hard to get a hold of. But I think it should be quite easy to see you here, so I came in.""Questions for me?" Jesse asked, confused. "That's why you're here?""What else?" Harvey said with a shrug. "Oh, right. I also want to see whether Wolsing's Dragon Cell has already completely fallen and if they can still uphold their justice and prove the ingenuousness of the innocents."If you can't prove my innocence in the shortest possible time, then I believe that Dragon
