At the Gardens Residence.Simon Xavier and Lilian Yates, who had been staying here all this time, had moved out.Xynthia Zimmer, on the other hand, went back to the university.Only Mandy Zimmer remained in such a spacious house. It felt empty.Stacks of documents were piling up on the coffee table. Mandy’s frown had clouded her face after flipping through the documents.Upon closer inspection, those documents were all the contracts that were declined, along with equity transfer agreements.All this happened so suddenly that day.The Regency Enterprise’s stocks that were circulating in the market all ended up in hands of South Light’s Zimmer family.And the business partners that agreed to work with Regency Enterprise all canceled their involvement within an hour.Even if they knew that Sky Corporation was behind Regency Enterprise, they would still cancel the deals as they pleased. This was enough to prove that the opposing forces were looking for trouble.“The Zimmer family
Mandy Zimmer frowned after hearing Quinn Zimmer’s words, then coldly replied, “Matthew Flynn, Quinton York, and Peter Lee said the same thing. What happened then?”Quinn let out a puff of laughter.“Mandy, do you really think that your cheap husband is this patient and capable?“Prince Jean already did a background check on him!“Sheldon Xavier and Yoel Graham stood out for him only because of Yvonne Xavier!“Oskar Armstrong stood up for him because he owed him that one time!“As for the master of Longmen standing up for him, that was even more of a coincidence!“If we’re talking about true strength, he would’ve already been trampled to death by the four top families of Hong Kong and Star Chaebol!“He does know how to fight, but how would that be useful in today’s world?“Background, connections, power, wealth, and authority are the fundamentals of this world. You could only be a fighter at most if you know how to fight, am I wrong?“Besides, Mordu’s Jean family is one of the
After taking a look at May Lee, Harvey York then gestured to the front desk lady to leave.“Talk. You better tell me something that I like to hear. If not, you won’t have to leave South Light anymore.”Harvey took a look at the Rolex watch on his wrist. There was less than two hours of time that he gave Star Chaebol.May took a deep breath with no intention to spout nonsense. She quietly exclaimed, “Prince York, my name is May Lee, one of the successors of Star Chaebol. The man that offended you, Peter Lee, was just a collateral relative.”Harvey then replied playfully, “So, the master’s coming to bite me back after I beat up the dog?”“I wouldn’t dare! Star Chaebol isn’t aware of everything that Peter did. That’s why he had constantly fooled us. I got here as soon as I could to mediate the affair after getting the news today along with giving you a fair statement!”May was showing immense respect during this whole time. She then took out her phone and played a video for Harvey t
May Lee was torn after hearing Harvey York’s words.Even though it was only money from Country H, a big portion of the money was about half of Star Chaebol’s assets.Giving Harvey half of Star Chaebol’s assets in Country H would mean that Star Chaebol would lose one-fourth of their assets!Harvey was obviously not just demanding a high price then. He wanted Star Chaebol to suffer, and he wanted to make their lives in Country H way harder than it already was for them.“Number three, I’ll be in charge of picking who is the representative of Star Chaebol in Country H from now on.“I’ll be appointing you as the representative, and you’ll be in charge of one thing for me.”Harvey then continued his speech calmly.“If you manage to fulfill all three of these conditions, I’ll pretend that nothing ever happened between us before.“And if you don’t, there’s still two hours for you to get out of here. And if you don’t get out of here and would wait for me to force my hand, it wouldn’t be
Harvey York wasn’t interested in money.But the matter made him realize that things wouldn’t go as he wanted if he only relied on his identity as Prince York.Harvey had the idea to deal with Longmen’s branch in Mordu.That was why he would have to make Prince York’s identity seem more important.Star Chaebol was really troublesome, but it would be interesting to turn Star Chaebol into Harvey’s own tool and use it against the Island Nation and America in the future.Harvey did not mind at all whether Star Chaebol would agree to his conditions or not.This was because they had no other choice.The moment the top Taekwondo professional, Wallace Park, was defeated, Star Chaebol’s backbone had already been broken.And Country J’s outlook remained the same, extremely arrogant even though they’re given a chance.But once their backbone gets broken, they would be humble like servants!Handing out half of Star Chaebol’s assets in Country H or turning all of their assets to dust.Sta
“Prince York, are you not going to peruse the contents?”May Lee was perplexed.“Are you not concerned that we’ll do something bad to you?”Harvey York then replied calmly, “Thirty percent of Star Chaebol’s assets are only worth ninety-three billion dollars at most. It’s just a number for me, and it shouldn’t affect me too much.“But it’s different for you. Without the thirty percent share and me supporting you, your position as the representative of the far east wouldn’t be solidified.“That’s why you’re more hopeful than I about the success of this matter. You must’ve read it over and over again before handing it over to me.“After all, screwing me over would mean screwing yourself over.“I’ll lose some money at most, but you’ll have your life taken from you. Am I wrong?”Harvey was showing a playful expression at that moment.May’s eyes were frantically twitching. She then respectfully replied, “Rest assured, Prince York. I know why I’ve been offered this position. I won’t
The men’s waists were bulging. It seemed like there was some sort of firearm being concealed.Cold breaths came out of their mouths every time they exhaled. Cold gazes were showing in their eyes.Handel showed up after a moment.Michelle appeared soon after and stood on the side.Harvey York simply chuckled after seeing the two people present.“I thought we already had an agreement, Aunty. What’s the meaning of this?”Michelle gave Harvey a faint smile.“Harvey York, I didn’t mean to make it harder for you. It was Master Thompson that knew that his woman was being stolen. He’s quite the domineering man too.“That’s why he sent a few men to see how his love rival would fare.“I’m just a bystander. You can’t blame me for this, right?”A cold murderous intent was surrounding the place after Michelle was done talking.“Men from Wolsing’s Thompson family?”Harvey faintly smiled while looking at the men.“Not quite. These people came from a special organization,” Michelle said c
“The Smith family’s direct line of descent is still fine because the head of that organization is waiting for the fifteenth next month.“This is because that day… Is the day that we killed the leader of the organization twenty years ago!“She’ll use the entire Smith family as offerings for her leader!”“I don’t have much time!”“The Smith family doesn’t have much time left!”“That’s why you better not get involved, Harvey York. Not only are you unable to fix the problem, but you’ll also cause a great deal of trouble!”The remaining head of the organization was called Trisha Cloude.She was the strongest killer within the organization back then. She had been lying in wait for twenty whole years. Nobody would know how strong she had gotten. Nobody knew how much backup she had either.Against a group of killers who would stop at nothing to get what they wanted, money, authority, power, support, and connections meant nothing to them.If not, the Smith family at least had some dign
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
Ellena's expression was one of enjoyment and glee when she saw Vaida kicked Harvey, and even took a few slaps from her.Ellena finally felt she had her revenge after the humiliation she suffered at the Fosters a few days ago. The worse Harvey's condition, the happier she was.Harvey finally managed to get a hold of himself and stopped Vaida, saying in a cold voice. "Are you stupid? The person you should be dealing with is the criminal that's trying to kill you and not me, a victim!""Victim? To all of us, you're the real criminal!" Vaida roared. "I'm just heading home to visit family! Why do I have to be on the same flight as you? You're going to get us all killed! You're some representative, right? Aren't you supposed to fight for the people? Why don't you just die already? If you don't, how can you face us?"Vaida was looking at Harvey, gritting her teeth. It was obvious that if looks could kill, Harvey would have already died countless times. All the passengers were also riled u
"All you need to do is to sever your own tendons right before me and then jump off the plane. I guarantee that I will get all these people landed safely," answered Ellena with a sneer. "If you can't do it, it's fine. One hour will slowly pass by. Let's waste each other's time. You can taste your regrets, I suppose. Regretting the fact that you instigated me in the first place…"Ellena's words at this point sounded so calm, as if she had truly accepted her inevitable death. All the passengers' expressions turned pale when they saw her speak with such expression. Vaida's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost."Please, no, ma'am! We did nothing to you! Why must you kill us too?""That's right! We can give you anything we have! Do you want money? Do you want properties? We have them all! But please spare us!""It's not that simple trying to kill him with a revolver. It only looks easy," Ellena said with a sigh. "This is the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance.
Harvey nodded at Ellena. "True. That's my mistake. But I'm curious: why are you all so obsessed with trying to kill me? Is it because I'm here to take over the Three Halls? Or is it because I'm the representative? Or is it because I humiliated Grand City at the Forbidden Wasteland? Or maybe it's because I'm going to help Sienna break her engagement?"Then, Ellena replied coldly, "Why are you so curious? Does it even benefit you? I don't want you to die knowing why. When you die, the more clueless you are, the happier it will make me."Harvey nodded. "I can understand that you want to kill me. But the problem is, so many innocent people are involved. Why must you involve them as well? Not to mention, if you do this, it'll not bring you any praise. It will most likely sully your reputation instead. Do you want yourself to be remembered with a tarnished reputation that much?"After hearing Harvey's words, Ellena looked at all the passengers and said, "Whether my reputation is good or b
Ellena smiled when she saw she had the entire cabin under her control. "This is connected to my heart. Whether my heart stopped or the timer reached zero, it would explode. That's why I believe you should be able to chat with me while remaining calm, right?"All the passengers in the first-class cabin felt that they would faint soon after hearing what Ellena said. Vaida, who was the calmest among them, also narrowed her eyes. They were on a plane. And then, there was a timed bomb that was connected to her heart. This was a puzzle with no clear answer.Not to mention, Ellena was armed with a revolver and maintained a safe distance between Vaida and Harvey. It was as if she could pull the trigger at any time.Fortunately, there was enough distance between the first-class and economy-class cabins. Otherwise, just the gun alone was enough to make all the passengers in the plane lose their minds.Harvey sighed. He knew Ellena was using the hundreds of innocent lives on this plane to bla
"I'm sorry, but it really wasn't intentional…" Harvey apologized to Vaida. Just as he was going to explain himself, he heard a creak. The door leading to the cockpit that was supposed to be shut tight was left open, with the scent of blood coming from inside.Before Harvey and Vaida could react, a woman in a pilot uniform walked over with a calm expression. Although her uniform was dotted with blood spatters, her aura and haughtiness in her eyes remained intense.Then, she removed her face mask and smirked at Harvey. "Good morning, Mr. Representative. We meet again…"Harvey's eyes narrowed; he seemed mildly surprised.It was Ellena.Speak of the Devil…At the same time, Harvey also gave Ellena a better evaluation. Although it took her a lot of effort to escape by leaving behind a decoy, she was now right in front of him and greeting him out in the open. This not only proved how mad she was but also strengthened her confidence in cornering Harvey.Harvey looked at Ellena nonchala
Originally, Harvey thought that since they met each other thanks to Fate, he wanted to give some pointers to Vaida. However, from her attitude, Harvey could ascertain that she would not believe him no matter what he said. If that was the case, he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't appreciative.The flight continued for about two hours. Their journey was only half done. Harvey stretched his back and sipped his sparkling water a few times. Then, he took out his tablet, connected to the plane's Wi-Fi, and checked his emails.Instantly, several emails were sent to his private email.Yvonne had already handled all kinds of business at Sky Corporation. She also mentioned receiving news that Sienna seemed to have gone to Grand City last night, but she could not confirm the veracity of that news.That piece of news was enough to make Harvey slightly frown.Another news story was that Rachel, whom Harvey had made arrangements for, had already arrived at Hyperborea. She was
Next morning.Harvey packed out a few outfits and then took a flight to Hyperborea. "I didn't expect the entrance to Grand City would be located on the peak of Hyperborea. From Wolsing, it would take around four hours, which meant I would arrive around noon. If everything goes well with the entry pass, I should be able to enter Grand City by two o'clock."Then, I will have to spend the whole afternoon taking over the three halls. After that, I need to help Sienna break her engagement… Wait, why did I even agree to help Sienna with the engagement? That way, doesn't it look like both of us have some secret relationship? Especially to the outsiders?" Harvey was speechless as he sat in his first-class flight seat.Typically speaking, he should not have gone to Grand City when there were so many unsettled things. But he had no choice but to come over when so many things were happening simultaneously.That being said, Harvey felt confident that Yvonne would handle all the matters in Wols
