Not long after, a car stopped at the entrance of Westin Hotel.A middle-aged man sporting a large belly walked gloomily out of the car.When Zach saw the man, he was filled with joy. He immediately rushed forward.“Father! You’re finally here! You must help me regain justice!”Zach’s father, Richard, carried a strong stench of alcohol. He was obviously drinking moments ago.He looked at Zach and asked, “Who is it?! How dare anyone disrespect me in Buckwood?!”Zach was still calm. He gestured at Harvey and whispered, “That’s him, Father. But his identity seems to be quite extraordinary.”“Extraordinary?”Richard sized up Harvey, then let out a derisive snort.“I’ve been working for the government for so many years. I’ve never seen a man as young as this with an extraordinary identity in the government!”“No matter how high a person’s status is, they’re all trash before government officials!”Zach received a burst of courage after hearing his father’s words.He initially assu
Boom!The words hit Zach like a strike of lightning, turning him weak.Richard trembled in fear, now completely sober.The father and son stared at Wesley in disbelief.Zach was fired…He was fired this easily?!Zach sank to the ground, his face pale. Richard soon returned to his senses. He snarled coldly, “Wesley, don’t forget that we have powerful people supporting the Braffs!”“Can you bear the consequences of firing my son so hastily?”Wesley, in return, glared daggers at Richard.“You have powerful people behind you? Richard, I ask you not to say their names! They’d just end up dead along with you!”“Wesley! You’re only the first-in-command of Buckwood’s housing system. Your status is equivalent to mine! How dare you threaten me?!”Richard flew into a fit of rage.“Threaten you?”Wesley chuckled coldly.He immediately called a number and said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Graham, I’ve arrived at the scene. I’ve already kicked the bug out of the housing system.”“But
Seeing that Zach was almost strangled to death, Wesley waved his hand. “Take them away! They must be punished by law! He must not die here!”A few inspectors stormed in and grabbed the father and son, taking them away.Naturally, Wesley had already contacted the police before coming here.Soon after, he and his men left the scene.The people present looked at Harvey, perplexed. Consultant York?!This man’s identity was terrifying!Even Mandy was shocked by Harvey. She couldn’t believe that her husband had become Buckwood government’s very own consultant!There was no paycheck for this position, but...The authority he held as a consultant was immense!Harvey was also in charge of the investment and business engagement forum. Safe to say, the fate of several small businesses lie in his hands.The Zimmers…They actually had such a powerful man in the family?!Harvey smiled and said, “Please sit. Isn’t this supposed to be a gathering?”The crowd all sat, looking mystified.
At the Gardens Residence.Mandy sat in front of Harvey while Simon, Lilian, and Xynthia sat on the side.The whole family was quite anxious.Anxiety aside, both Simon and Lilian were quite exhilarated.Mandy took a deep breath, then looked Harvey in the eye.“Darling, are you going to tell me everything that happened today? How did you even achieve your new status?”Harvey smiled. “Darling, I forgot to tell you.”“After leaving Sky Corporation, I found a new job.”“I’m now the consultant of the government of Buckwood.”“I’m in charge of the investment and business engagement forum as well.”Gasp—!“The government’s consultant?!”Simon gasped.“Harvey! You don’t have a fever, do you? You’re the consultant that the Buckwood government recently hired?! The legendary Consultant York?!”Lilian also asked hesitantly, “Mandy, you can’t joke about this. Although the status of Consultant York isn’t as high as Prince York or the Head Coach, it still bears a lot of weight!”“Harvey
In Buckwood, in a luxurious villa.Several leads of the Jean family from Mordu were gathered here.Todd Jean held the glass in his hand and looked at a document with a solemn expression.After a long time, Todd put down the document in his hand and whispered, “Elder, word came that they have found out who Harvey York’s backer is!“It turns out that Yoel Graham, the first-in-command of Buckwood, is his real backer!“And he’s currently the consultant to the Buckwood government. He is arguably the second most powerful big shot!“Very powerful and influential!”Todd showed fear on his face while saying those things.If they were in Mordu, the Jean family from Mordu would show no fear.However, this was Buckwood.Although the Jean family was a powerful force from outside, they couldn’t overwhelm the local forces!Todd took the document. After reading it for a while, he reached out his right hand and slammed it on the armrest, saying, “Although we’ve lost the Morgan Financial Grou
The four Kings of Arms next to Fourth Master Yates had all fought on the battlefield with him back then, and they had been with him for all those years.Letting Bradley bring along the three Kings of Arms indicated just how important this matter was to Fourth Master Yates.After Bradley hesitated for a moment, he reasoned, “Godfather, why don’t you let me bring all four of the Kings of Arms? In this case, things will be handled appropriately.”Fourth Master Yates replied indifferently, “I haven’t told you the origin of the four Kings of Arms under my command. I take this opportunity to introduce them to you today.“The Second King of Arms, Bahn, he’s a fighter from Thailand. He has received special training in Muay Thai from Thailand since a very young age. He’s unparalleled in melee combat and has reached the legendary realm of Muay Thai.“The Third King of Arms, Floyd, he’s a karate master from the Island Nation. His karate practices paid attention to making every move count.“
Bradley bowed and said after pondering for a moment, “As expected, Godfather is very thoughtful. I just want to finish all things in one shot without considering the serious consequences that this matter may cause!“Godfather, don’t worry. Now that we know that the Chief Inspector is in Buckwood, I will certainly proceed with caution.”Fourth Master Yates said indifferently, “Remember, although we are strong, we’re still foreigners after all. Remember not to be too conspicuous when doing things. Work more and talk less.”Bradley then bowed and left.He did not have a problem with Fourth Master Yates being cautious. This big shot, who had been on the battlefield for many years, always went all out even when fighting a small enemy or tackling a minor problem.After Bradley left, a plain-looking man slowly walked out of the shadows from behind the hall.The First King of Arms, Evander!Evander whispered at the moment, “Fourth Master Yates, I have heard of the Chief Inspector. It is
Phil Yates smiled and said, “I heard that the Naiswells, the first-class family in Buckwood, have always been siding with Sky Corporation and Harvey York!“That frosty Miss Naiswell has a bit of a story with Harvey.“Why don’t we confront them directly? How about going to the Naiswells first?”Bradley nodded and said, “Okay!”Although Bradley was the one who came out to execute the plans this time, since Phil was by his side, he naturally understood his position.Phil was one of the candidates for the position of the prince of the Yates family. Phil has a high probability of becoming the prince of this generation.To put it bluntly, he, Bradley, was just a servant of the Yates family. It was just that he was a high-ranked servant.Therefore, as long as Phil did not mess around, Bradley would certainly follow his temperament for such trivial matters.***At the Naiswells.At this moment, the high management of the Naiswells gathered together.Due to the various changes in Buc
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
With an icy demeanor, Vaida said slowly to Coco, "What if I say no?""No?" Coco looked at Vaida as if she didn't know what was good for her. "What right do you have to say no? If you know what's good for you, you'll sell me Port View Restaurant cheap right now! Once my brother takes over, this place will ultimately become mine! Stop treating yourself like you're the owner here."Even the Belladonna Cult thinks you're just a madwoman, and that they should support my brother fully. Who do you think you are now? If it weren't for your father's reputation, everything the Belladonna Cult owned would have been confiscated by the city a long time ago! You’re just a schizophrenic woman… Do you really think you're anyone important?"I'll give you three seconds to get the hell out of the Supreme Chamber! Otherwise, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""I dare you to say that again," Vaida hissed.Her eyes turned even colder."A long time ago, Dan was the one begging my father, kneeling in fr
“However, if it's discovered that you have taken even a single cent from Port View Restaurant… I'm sorry, but I’ll have no choice but to send you to jail.”Vaida extended her finger and slowly mimicked slitting her throat.Upon hearing these words, Tina began to shudder, her face as pale as a sheet.Harvey gave an approving nod. Vaida was efficient and also dealt a powerful emotional blow. She stood on moral high ground, what she did was enough to infuriate Coco. All this while, the Parkers had treated Port View Restaurant as their asset. Coco might even be one of those who embezzled funds from the restaurant. If Vaida sent Tina to prison, this would indeed be very interesting.Tina's face was pale at that moment. She instinctively looked at Coco, trembling as she begged, "Princess Coco…"It was obvious that she believed only Coco could save her now. Coco furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. She stared coldly at Vaida."No need to audit the accounts. I can tell y
"According to the rules, this place won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future!" Coco said confidently in front of everyone, wanting to shame Vaida publicly.Vaida spat icily, "According to the agreement, only when I can't find my man of destiny within the appointed time will all the Belladonna Cult's assets go to Dan. Unfortunately for you, I have already found him. From that moment onward, everything the cult owns has nothing to do with Dan anymore. Do you understand? But of course, if you think this place doesn't belong to me…"You can call the Seven Families Joint Meeting, and we can discuss this at length. Let's see who owns the Belladonna Cult's assets."Coco's expression turned a little colder after hearing that. However, she retrained her emotions and smiled brilliantly. She knew very well according to Grand City's rules, since Vaida managed to find her man of destiny, Dan would never be able to take over the Belladonna Cult's properties.But what if her man
"Vaida, Grand City is now governed by laws. It's not right to start hitting people here, isn't it?"Just as Tina was about to crawl away, the clacking of high heels came from the entrance. A faint scent of perfume wafted through the air with a somewhat seductive tang.Harvey instinctively looked at the entrance. Elegantly dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing. A gorgeous woman in her twenties led the entourage.Not only were her facial features exquisite, but she also had quite a curvaceous physique. There was an air of superiority surrounding her, as if she could easily overshadow everyone else. She was wearing the most fashionable black dress, showcasing her long legs and demonstrating her perfect curves.While this woman wasn't very mature, she was full of charm and allure. To use a more modern term, she was obviously quite the player and skilled at charming men. She was none other than Coco Parker, princess of Parkerville.The moment Tina saw that woman, she
Vaida's slap was direct and ruthless, carrying an indescribable force. In one hit, Tina was instantly struck into a daze as she stumbled unsteadily. A scarlet handprint instantly appeared on her face; she looked disheveled.Tina looked at Vaida in disbelief, her voice trembling. "You hit me? Grand City is a society of law, and you hit me?" Tina couldn't understand why Vaida would hit her at this point. She was just a schizophrenic woman, and she was at the edge of losing control of Belladonna. What made her think she could still act so boldly? Who did Vaida think she was?It was obvious that deep down, Tina had no respect whatsoever for Vaida. In her mind, she could scare Vaida away by just using Coco's name. Coco was the number one princess in Grand City. Meanwhile, Vaida was just a madwoman… What right did Vaida think she had to cross Coco?Tina never expected Vaida to have no fear of Coco. Vaida even slapped her so hard that she almost dropped to the ground.Tina bit her lip
"I also think it's inappropriate to make such a request, but I have no choice. The VIP wants this private room. This is the Supreme Chamber, which represents one's status," Tina said as she narrowed her eyes at Alexei, mockery evident in her gaze."As you know, the Port View Restaurant believes that customers are gods. Now that our gods are here, of course we must accommodate their minor request. Princess Vaida, Mr. Alexei, you're both smart people. You understand that it's not easy for us, either. Can you please move quickly? We still need to clean up this room. If the VIP finds this room dirty, it might be difficult for us to handle.Tina's words right now were pure humiliation, the ones that could make men go berserk. Alexei's expression instantly turned dark.Port View Restaurant was owned by Belladonna Cult. Vaida was the scion of the Belladonna Cult. In other words, this was her turf. It was outrageous for her to be asked to leave when she was halfway through a meal, especia
