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
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
