Back in the Gardens Residence, Mandy Zimmer was already asleep.Harvey York did not disturb her. He came into the study room and took out an ancient-looking phone.After letting out a quiet sigh, Harvey then dialed the phone.“It’s me.”Silence echoed from the other side of the phone for a while. A gentle voice could be heard soon after.“Chief Instructor, why are you calling me now?”“I need you to protect someone,” Harvey replied immediately.“I’m a killer, not a bodyguard.”A cold tone could be heard from the other side of the phone.“Then I’ll put it this way, I need you to follow a person and kill every killer that would even dare to come close to her to make sure she stays alive.”After a long silence, the person on the other side of the phone replied, “Time, place, price.”“I’m unsure about the time and place, but you won’t owe me anymore after you do this for me.”“Fine!”The person hung up the phone after her nonchalant agreement.After being quiet for a while, H
Everyone was dead silent.Michelle exclaimed loudly in the next moment, “You bastard! Are you trying to kill me?!”Handel and the others came back to their senses and rushed toward their master to help.Some even had their firearms pointed at Harvey York. They would shoot Harvey to death if Michelle were to be pronounced dead. Only then would they have something to report.“Ngh…”Michelle was trembling slightly, and her pale face turned black in the blink of an eye. Her whole body started to tremble profusely afterward. She was clearly enduring a lot of pain at that moment.“If you don’t do anything about this, the person that you’re in charge of protecting might just die here!” Harvey calmly said.In a split second, a waiter that nobody even noticed suddenly rushed forward from the corner of the room.Her face was extremely plain, and so was her figure. Nobody would even remember her if she walked with a crowd.She swiftly came in front of Michelle and tapped twice on her nec
Harvey York calmly looked at Michelle and sincerely said, “People have been dying since the dawn of time. Who wouldn’t be afraid of death?“That’s why I don’t blame you for being this scared.“But now that you’ve been at Death’s door and confirmed that there will be someone protecting you at all times, I don’t think you’ll need support from the Thompson family now, do you?“I can even guarantee you that even the Thompson family aren’t able to get someone as strong as Cora Lloyd.“And with a trump card such as this, I’m sure you’ll be able to rise up the ranks immensely when you get back to your family.“Danger will always reveal new opportunities, am I right?”Michelle and Handel’s eyes twitched for a moment. They never thought Harvey would actually say something like this.But they had to admit that Harvey was right.After experiencing such an event and getting a new killer as a bodyguard, Michelle wasn’t as terrified of Trisha Cloude anymore.From another perspective, the cr
Lady Snake was the person assigned by Lucas Jean to protect Senior Zimmer.She was quite powerful, a true professional.This was also the reason why Senior Zimmer was this bold.An old witch holding a black snake in her hands walked out at this moment. An evil smile leaked out of her face, then retreated into the shadows.After seeing the sight, even Quinn Zimmer, who was considered quite powerful, felt numb in her head.Lady Snake was scary. Not only was she mighty, but her ways to control snakes also made her even more terrifying.***At the Gardens Residence.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates, who had left for a long while, came back and prepared a lavish meal. They asked Mandy Zimmer to get Harvey York back as well.After seeing her parents act this way, Mandy felt that something was off, but there was no point pointing this out. Mandy called Harvey back after.Xynthia Zimmer was asked to come back as well.The whole family was finally back together. It was a lovely sight.
“Mother, the marriage is between Harvey York and me. Can you stop getting involved?”Mandy Zimmer knew full well why her mother said those words. Mandy bit her pale lip and quietly exclaimed her words at that moment.“Stop getting involved? If I don’t get involved, God knows what kind of trouble both of you will stir up because of this!“Mordu’s Jean family is the head of our family. The prince shows you respect by asking you to get a divorce and is preparing for you to develop in Mordu!“You’ve been rejecting the offer over and over again. What for?“Maybe you’re saying that Harvey suits you now because he’s quite outstanding!“But how long can this prince even last?!“The top four families from Hong Kong were against him!“Who knows what kind of family would want him dead next?!“How safe can you even be if you follow a man like this?!“The most important thing is that the Jean family is at least a thousand times stronger than this rundown prince! You must listen to Prince
Bang!Right at this moment, the doors of the Gardens Residence were kicked open.Lilian Yates stood up and screamed furiously after seeing the sight.“Which bastard kicked down the doors?!”“Don’t you know that this is my property?!”Simon Zimmer subconsciously looked over as well.Around six people were seen at the entrance. Lady Snake, who was leading the group, had a black Python slithering around her neck.The people following her seemed extremely righteous.But all of them were keeping their distance with Lady Snake. Naturally, they were all afraid of the black Python.After seeing that the person who kicked down the doors was Senior Zimmer’s favorite person, Lilian’s arrogant and furious face instantly changed, brimming with happiness. She then walked forward and said, “You’re here, Lady Snake! Please have a seat!“I was wondering why magpies were chirping around the house in the morning!“It was because of you coming and gracing us with your presence!”She furiously
Lady Snake was imperious and overbearing. She hissed threateningly, “If you dare to talk nonsense again, little girl, the next slap will distort your pretty face!”But Xynthia was defiant and growled angrily, “You’re unruly and unreasonable…!”Harvey put down his spoon and took out a tissue paper to wipe his mouth. He then stood up.“Xynthia, step back!”Lilian stood in front of Xynthia, blocking Xynthia from Lady Snake.After all, Xynthia had yet to marry, and thus still very precious. If Xynthia’s face got ruined, how could Lilian sell her daughter off in the future?“Lady Snake, haven’t I already asked Senior Zimmer about it? I’ll do Mandy’s work, and I promise to get the divorce papers. Why do you need to hurt her?”“If you hurt her, how will you explain it to the prince?”Lady Snake was indifferent. “The prince’s order is to have Mandy divorce and force her to Mordu. He never said we couldn’t hurt her.”“Old Man Zimmer added that if she refuses to sign the divorce papers
“If you dare to touch Mandy, I guarantee you’ll meet an unsightly death.”Just then, a cold hiss resounded, devoid of any emotions.Harvey moved towards Mandy and sent Lady Snake’s three subordinates flying with a kick. “Try me if you don’t believe it.”Mandy quickly pulled Harvey away. “Harvey, this is none of your business!”She knew that Harvey was strong, but the combined combat prowess of Lady Snake’s subordinates’ was nothing to sneeze at. Plus, the black python with her made her even more terrifying.“I, die unsightly?”Lady Snake smiled. She had been a deity-like existence for so many years. This was the first time someone dared to threaten her in such a manner. She flashed Harvey a wicked smile. “Harvey, it seems you don’t know how good I am…”Her three subordinates grinned. Although they had just been kicked, their faces bore identical malevolent smiles.This live-in son-in-law was indeed an insolent young cub! How could he challenge a person like Lady Snake?Harve
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
