Chapter 13

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“Huh?” Harvey was stunned for a moment and forgot to swallow the steak in his mouth. Why did he not know when this was going to happen?

Xynthia was even more disgusted when she saw Harvey gobbling. She said coldly, “I’m not afraid to tell you. Brother Don has officially proposed marriage to the Zimmer family. He will send the dowries tonight. If you are smart enough, just don’t do anything. If you aren’t…”

Xynthia sneered when she said this. Although the Zimmer family ran a legitimate business, they still had a few bodyguards in the family. If this loser wanted to cause trouble, they would surely knock him down.

“Well, everyone, keep quiet. Senior has something to announce!”

At the top position, Senior Zimmer reached out his hand and knocked on the table. He anticipated and said, “You should all have heard about the news, right? Not sure why, but the president of York Enterprise has suddenly changed. The new president has terminated all the investments that have been negotiated before. An additional 5 billion dollars will be funded to invest…”

“I don’t know how mysterious the new president is, but his appearance is a great opportunity for the Zimmer family!”

“Many families and businesses in Niumhi have been affected. It can be said that there’ll be a major reshuffle in Niumhi…”

“The Zimmer family has been considered a wealthy family in Niumhi over the years. But let's ask ourselves honestly, we are just a second-class family…”

“If we want to have greater influence in Niumhi and want the Zimmer family to grow further, what we have now is insufficient…”

“If we—the Zimmer family want to become a first-class family, and even a top-class family with influence in South Light in the future, then we must not miss this opportunity!”

“As long as we can cooperate with York Enterprise, as long as we could get on with the new president, as long as we can get a share of the 5 billion dollars! Then, we will be able to do whatever we want in Niumhi!”

The members of the Zimmer family looked at each other in silence after Senior Zimmer had finished speaking.

Cooperating with York Enterprise? Getting on with the new president?

Everyone knew that this was an opportunity, let alone the Zimmer family. Who in Niumhi did not want to cooperate with York Enterprise? Who did not want to get to know the new president?

However, York Enterprise was backed by the Yorks in South Light. They would surely look down upon a second-class family like the Zimmer family.

The Zimmer family wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to grow. However, they seemed to be daydreaming because the possibility was too low.

Senior Zimmer’s face darkened seeing that no one responded. He said with displeasure. “Why? You are all so active when you are taking bonuses. Now when it’s time to run errands, all of you are backing out like cowards! A bunch of losers!”

The eldest son of the Zimmer family, Mandy’s uncle—Sean Zimmer knocked on the table and said, “Father, what you said is good. But the problem is that we have never succeeded in getting York Enterprise’s investments for so many years. Furthermore, they have changed to a new president now. How could things be so easy?”

Senior Zimmer looked at him and said coldly, “If things are so easy, I can just solve them with a single call. Do I need to discuss with you all?”

Zack’s eyes suddenly brightened. He stood up and said, “Grandfather, Don must know who the new president is since he is working there. He should be able to help us get this investment.”

“Didn’t he just propose marriage to Mandy? We will be a family as long as Mandy marries him. Although we may not fully get the 5 billion dollars, we can still aim for a few hundred million. If we get it, then wouldn’t we be well-developed?”

“Don Xander…” Senior Zimmer slightly focused and was very satisfied with Don.

He then looked at Mandy and said in an unquestionable tone. “Mandy, Don has always been in love with you. Moreover, we—the Zimmer family need your help. Marry him.”

Mandy was startled and did not know what to say. So, was he forcing her to divorce? But…

Other members of the Zimmer family had already spoken before Mandy could say anything.

“Mandy, we need this investment!”

“Yes, without the investment, we would probably go bankrupt!”

“This is a good opportunity to get rid of your useless husband. You have to seize it!”

“It can bring investment for the Zimmer family. You will also have a rich and handsome husband.”

Mandy was speechless.

At this moment, the members of the Zimmer family stood up one by one, trying to persuade Mandy. In their opinion, this was the best way to get the investment.

They heard that Don was quite prominent in York Enterprise.

If he was willing to help the Zimmer family, it would be excellent.

With this money, the entire Zimmer family could advance to the next level!

Lilian then stood up and said, “Father, what a coincidence. Don called me yesterday and said that he wanted to come over to make an announcement. I have invited him for dinner today.”

“Really?” Senior Zimmer stood up with excitement. “Bring him here!”

Lilian was pleased to see Senior Zimmer’s expression. It seemed that she had done nothing wrong. Her daughter could finally get rid of that useless husband. She could also enjoy the glory and wealth. Thank God!

Suddenly, the lights in the hall dimmed. The lamp near the door lit up, and then a chic figure walked in.

    Everyone looked over there. They then saw Don wearing a delicate suit with his hair nicely combed to the back. He looked handsome and smart. He was holding a gift box in his hand and walked in with a smile. “Let us welcome Mr. Xander with warm applause!” A young man shouted.All kinds of cheering were heard all of a sudden.It was obvious that a young talented man like Don was more recognized and welcomed by the Zimmer family compared to Harvey.Most importantly, he could help the Zimmer family!At this moment, the entire Zimmer family was looking at Don as if he was the God of Wealth!Don smiled and waved to the people around him. He looked like a star walking on the red carpet and also looked like a high-flyer.“Senior Zimmer, I’m sorry to bother you. I come here uninvited. However, I am a straight-up guy. So, I’ll speak up if I have something to say!”Don was smiling ambitiously. He said loudly, “I fell in love with Mandy at first sight, but unfortunately, she was married t

    Mandy who initially felt strange on the inside felt the warmth in her heart at this moment. An unexplained feeling surged in her heart.She already had a feeling that the roses were sent by Don yesterday. Since Don had admitted to it now, she was indeed right about it.She never thought that Don would do what he said. He had just talked about the Prague roses yesterday morning. Then, the roses were sent to her in the afternoon and with the Heart of Prague in it some more.This thing could not be found easily. Thus, he must have planned this for her a long time ago, right?Although Mandy knew that she could not agree to this marriage because she was a married woman, she was still very moved and shy.“Hey, did you guys see it? Harvey’s expression is so funny! He’s shocked! Hahaha!”Meanwhile, Zack stood up, pointed in the direction where Harvey was, and laughed.Many people saw Harvey’s expression and heckled him after hearing Zack’s words.Indeed, Harvey’s face was very dark at

    The entire Zimmer Villa was in silence at that moment. Almost everyone turned to look at Harvey in disbelief. That live-in son-in-law said everything in certainty. Could it be that he indeed knew who the new CEO who invested in York Enterprise was? Don did not even believe him. He smiled coldly and said, “Fine! Tell us! Who’s the new CEO in my enterprise?” Harvey stretched his hand out and pointed it at himself. He then said slowly, “The new CEO of York Enterprise is me.” Everyone was so shocked that they said nothing for a moment.But the next second...“You?” Don was stunned at first. He then held his belly and broke into a burst of laughter. Finally, he stopped laughing with much difficulty. He then looked at Senior Zimmer. “Senior Zimmer, I thought that your live-in son-in-law just likes to put on a show. But it surprised me to see him acting like a fool.” The moment he said that, Zack and the others broke into laughter too. They looked at Harvey just like they were l

    They were stunned and soon broke into a burst of laughter.Don sneered and laughed too. “Harvey, is this your evidence? Don’t you think it’s hilarious?”“Mr. Xander, why are you wasting your time talking to a fool? I don’t even believe anything he said!” At that moment, Zack could not endure it anymore. He stepped forward and snatched away Harvey’s old phone, and smashed it onto the floor. He then pointed at Harvey and scolded him, “You’re just a live-in son-in-law! Why are you always putting on a show? You even claimed that you’d got evidence! F*ck you!” “Get lost this instant! We’re disgusted by your very existence!”“How could we have such a person like you in our family…” “A good-for-nothing!” Everybody from the Zimmers took the initiative at that moment just because they felt that they had been humiliated deeply by Harvey. They certainly knew that Harvey couldn’t be the new CEO in York Enterprise, but they felt like Harvey was underestimating them in that instant.“

    Hearing what Don said, Senior Zimmer’s heart skipped a beat. ‘That’s right. If I let Harvey be with us still, the entire Zimmers would certainly be ruined by him.’“Senior Zimmer, it’s your party here tonight. It might be unfortunate if you took the initiative to beat him up. Let me help you give this insensible good-for-nothing a lesson!” Seeing that Don was about to beat Harvey up, Senior Zimmer had no intention to stop him.Besides, the others from the Zimmers were enjoying the scene too. They had long been disgusted by Harvey and were eager to see Don beating him up. Don smiled wickedly. He ran up a few steps, and he was about to swing a flying kick at Harvey’s face. He had gone to the gym to train himself up for a few years now. He even learned Taekwondo for a few years from a so-called private coach and gained a black belt. At that moment, his kick appeared quite ferocious and strong. “I remembered that Mr. Xander is an expert in Taekwondo with a black belt. It’s over

    ‘What?’Everyone was dumbfounded. ‘What’s happening?’ ‘That useless person just lifted his right hand slightly. Why did Don endure such a terrible fall?’‘Does that b*stard have such a skill?’ ‘Or is it true that every dog has its day?’ But most of them felt that Harvey was having some dumb luck, and Don was indeed unfortunate. Harvey just lifted his hand like that, and Don was thrown off terribly.“Harvey… just you wait and see…” Don was lying on the ground, shivering. He tried his best to get up. In that instant, he pointed at Harvey and scolded him vigorously, “I’ll ruin you! I’ll make you pay for it. Just you wait and see…” At that moment, everyone was fixing their eyes at Don, whose nose was bleeding. Then they turned to throw pitiful glances at Harvey. What kind of resources did that live-in son-in-law have? But Don was different. He was a middle-ranking employee in York Enterprise. If he had such an intention, it would certainly be relatively easy for him to ruin

    At the mention of Tyson Woods, everybody in the Zimmers drew in a cold breath. Who was Tyson? He was a famous person in Niumhi. A lot of people wanted to curry favor with him, but they were unable to do so. That future son-in-law—Don, was able to ask him to come over. Don was indeed quite an influential and powerful man.Even Senior Zimmer looked at Don approvingly. He was somewhat satisfied with that grandson-in-law. “You don’t want me to survive until tomorrow. Very well.” Harvey smiled. “I’m indeed curious. You’re about to lose everything, and you’re a useless person who will face bankruptcy soon. I wonder how you’re going to do that…” Someone burst into laughter. “Is he out of his mind? Mr. Xander is a rich youth. His one-million-cheque is still here. How could he say that Mr. Xander is going to lose everything and face bankruptcy? Does he even know what bankruptcy is?” “Oh! This live-in son-in-law always stays at home and is either watching TV or reading novels. He does

    Don quickly came back to his senses. He then smiled and tried to make it up. “It's nothing. The vice president asked me to have a drink together. I’ve got no time today. Hence, I rescheduled to meet up with him tomorrow.”Everyone in the Zimmer family was shocked when they heard about it. The vice president of York Enterprise, asking Don to have a drink together?Moreover, Don rejected him and even rescheduled it for tomorrow. He did have some status and face!Everyone in the Zimmer family could not help but step forward and gather around Don to please him.At this time, a squeal of brakes could be heard from the gate of the villa. Several black commercial vehicles stopped at the gate.Then, the car doors were pushed open. A dozen strong men got out of the cars carrying watermelon knives and baseball bats.A wicked man wearing a white shirt was walking in the middle among those brawny men. It was the legendary Tyson Woods.Meanwhile, he was holding a cigarette between his lips a

    Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his

    "Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th

    "If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t

    "150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir

    Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o

    "It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K

    The VIP seats opposite Maya had a group of men and women chatting loudly in plain clothing. All of them looked arrogant, and the way they looked down on others seemed second nature to them. A bald man was in the center of it all. He was wearing a simple white jacket and a pair of outdated cloth shoes. When he sat there, he looked like he was shifting between a state of awareness or sleep."This is the man leading the challengers. All of them called him Mr. Parker." Mandy's eyes immediately fell on this bald man as she explained. It was obvious that while she wasn't here all the time, she knew a lot about the underground boxing gym.Harvey then asked calmly, "He's so easily identifiable. You really can't find anything about him at all?""Nothing. But to him, money is nothing but a number," Mandy sighed. "He didn't look anything unique, but from the limited edition Richard Mille watch he's wearing? That watch is called a 'Billionaire's Watch'. Just that alone is proof enough of how

    "Even if they're really from another world, they wouldn't be anyone ordinary. They're dressed simply, but we could tell they're no ordinary people. They looked at all the other guests like they were ants, as if they stood on top of the world. Speaking of which, the one who led them was someone with the last name Parker…"At this point, Mandy found it difficult to continue the conversation. Not only did she lose so much money, but she wasn't even sure who she lost to. It was a total humiliation!"Parker… Not ordinary people… Looking down on everyone…" Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Someone from Parkerville?"A few days ago, Harvey had just humiliated Clarion. In the days that followed, Clarion seemed to have completely disappeared. It didn't fit his modus operandi. Harvey started to suspect that the Parkers of Parkerville were behind this.Most importantly, they could anger him through Mandy. It seemed not everyone from Parkerville was brainless. At the very least, they were quite goo

    Mandy kept mum.Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?"Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest."A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agr
