Mandy was slightly shocked. She had never expected Harvey to refuse money and exchange it for the Forever Mine instead. If he willed it, a few hundred million dollars would have also been a fair price. However, this man only thought of her even under such circumstances, and he just wanted to make her happy.Mandy looked at Harvey and bit her lip unconsciously as she thought about it. A strange feeling bloomed in her heart.“Miss Xavier, you can’t give it to him! The painting may be fake!” Jake suddenly blurted out.What? Why did he say that? Everyone immediately turned to him.Yvonne looked over, speechless. Where had this guy come from? She was just having fun while acting with the CEO. Why did he have to suddenly appear like this?However, Yvonne continued acting as though she was shocked. She smiled hesitantly and asked, “Sir, why did you say that?”Jake said solemnly, “Miss Xavier, Harvey is just a live-in son-in-law. He doesn’t know how to identify the authenticity of the pa
Harvey’s eyes lit up. He could finally enter the bedroom after sleeping in the study room for three years. At that moment, he could not wait to go back home.As for the idea of a divorce, he had blocked the thought out of his mind.Jake gritted his teeth, and could not help but glare at Cecilia.Cecilia nodded and said coldly, “Mandy, you must not be deceived by him. He is just a useless guy and has not changed. He was just lucky that he got the painting, whether it’s real or not, for only fifteen dollars. You must not accept the gift from him. Otherwise, if the Yorks discover that the painting is fake one day, then—”Slap!Yvonne had strode forward in her high heels and slapped Cecilia across the face before she could finish.“You… You...” Cecilia held her face in shock, unable to speak for a long time.“What?” Yvonne’s face was cold. “I don’t care what kind of relationship you both have, and I don’t care whether you are joking or being sarcastic. However, I don’t allow anyone
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Harvey. Do you really think that highly of yourself?” Jake laughed. “If you are so awesome, then why not ask Yvonne to come here now? Why not let her send you home? If you can do it, I will kneel for you now!”Yvonne quickly walked over in her high heels while he was talking.“Mr. York, I have already informed our CEO about the exchange of the painting. He specifically asked me to tell you that you were being taken advantage of this time. To express our apologies, we agree to the investment that Miss Zimmer applied for. She can come and sign the papers tomorrow,” Yvonne said, then continued, “Also, if you don’t mind, I would like to give you a ride back. After all, we have just finished a business deal here. I have the responsibility to send you home safely.”“Okay, thank you then, Miss Xavier. I’ll take you up on that.” Harvey smiled and then casually glanced at Jake. What? Did Yvonne come over and ask to give him a ride? The CEO of York Enterprise was expressing
Harvey was speechless when he saw Rosalie’s body trembling. ‘Miss Rosalie, can you please not act like this? Others will think I’m teasing you.’‘I have a wife, I’m not that kind of person!’Rosalie gritted her teeth and said softly before Harvey could speak, “I heard… Although you have been married to your wife for three years… you both never did that thing before, and you have not even touched her hand… is it true?”“What thing?” Harvey absently asked.Rosalie stomped her feet, her cheeks a bright red. “The thing that happens between a husband and wife!”Harvey became more speechless. ‘You, a pure and innocent little girl, are looking at me with those big eyes and asking me such a question. I don’t know how to answer!’However, Harvey felt helpless after being stared at by Rosalie for a long time. He finally sighed and said, “Well, you’re not wrong…”“Great!” Rosalie exclaimed softly.“Huh?” Harvey frowned. ‘What’s so good about knowing my embarrassing story? Can you not be l
“Please stop it, Mom! We need to thank Harvey since he was the one who introduced me to Miss Xavier, which helped me get the investment,” Mandy pleaded.“Really?” Lilian exclaimed in surprise. She had always been worried about the investment, so she stopped talking about Harvey since he had helped them.“Yes, Mom, let’s get some rest now, alright? We’ll discuss the other things after I settle everything with York Enterprise,” Mandy said soothingly.“Okay, we’ll take care of the important stuff first,” Lilian agreed.“The floor hasn’t been mopped for days, get to it! You’ve been going out so often lately, do you even see this as your home?” Lilian sneered, glaring at Harvey.“Alright, got it,” Harvey replied as he was used to Lilian’s attitude by now. He had been doing the chores for the past three years anyway, so it wasn’t a big problem for him.Mandy stared at Harvey contemplatively for a while, then went to take a shower.After half an hour, Harvey’s mobile phone rang. It was
“This is a gift from my husband, I will not sell it no matter what!” Mandy Zimmer protested while glaring at her so-called relatives. “Mandy Zimmer, you have no sympathy!”“Do you want to see us go bankrupt?”“You traitor! We were the ones who raised you!”They were furious because they thought that they might have had a chance if Mandy had given the ring to the Yorks.Swoosh!“Rather than telling my wife to give back her ring, why don’t you all give your properties to the Yorks? They might give us a chance then,” Harvey said sarcastically as he opened the door and entered the room.The members of the Zimmer family immediately looked upset when Harvey barged in.“Who allowed you to come to our meeting, you worthless piece of trash?!” Zack yelled at Harvey.“I’m here to witness my wife becoming the new project manager. Am I troubling you?” Harvey asked coldly.“Hah, keep dreaming! Both of you will be kicked out of the family if she can’t get the deal, so don't be so confident
“Grandpa, I would like to request something. As we don’t have much time left, I’m planning to start the construction tomorrow, so I would like to pick someone trustworthy to keep an eye on the construction process,” Mandy said to Senior Zimmer.“Sure, pick anyone you like,” Senior Zimmer replied easily.“Grandpa, I pick Harvey…” Mandy suggested hesitantly as she looked at Harvey.Mandy was starting to think that Harvey was reliable, so she wanted to give Harvey a chance to learn what it was like working on the frontline.Senior Zimmer frowned at Mandy’s request.“Mandy Zimmer, do you really think you can control everything about the project? It’s not even your asset to begin with! You want to let this worthless guy supervise the construction? Who’s gonna bear the responsibility if he screws up?” Zack Zimmer shouted, jealousy clear in his tone.“Grandpa already said that I’m in charge of the entire project. Who are you to object?” Mandy replied with a frown.“Mandy, please don’t
It didn’t take long before the news spread around Niumhi that the Zimmers got a fifty million dollar fund from the Yorks.“I heard they got the funds because of a woman!”“Is it the one who has a live-in husband?”“I heard the husband bought the painting “The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” for only fifteen dollars, and gave it to the CEO of York Enterprise.”“No wonder!”“Could it be that the CEO was interested in Mandy?”Outsiders started to gossip all of a sudden, but that didn’t stop the Zimmers from becoming more popular, as a lot of families came to visit in the afternoon.The Zimmer Villa was crowded, and everyone was there except for Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer.Other families had come to learn a thing or two on how they got the funding, but it was too bad that Mandy wasn’t there to share the details.At the Platinum Hotel.Harvey wanted to meet Tyson Woods, and coincidentally met Jake Surrey on the way.Jake was surprised to see Harvey there as he had come with th
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
All of Clarion's men exchanged looks. They did not want to but had no choice but to retreat. It was obvious that they could not simply watch Neve die like that. Harvey quickly motioned to Mandy, signaling for her to exit with her.Shortly after, they arrived at an empty space on the surface. An armed helicopter was waiting there. They had moved it here from somewhere, and it was also warmed up. Harvey took Neve hostage and was going to bring Mandy up into the helicopter.But before they could get any closer, hundreds of men and women in uniform appeared and surrounded them. They were all armed with weapons such as Rainstorm Needles and Royal Flushes, specially designed against martial arts masters. If they were used, the damage they could cause would be devastating."Do you really think you can escape, Harvey?" Lanny walked out from behind the crowd."I've indeed prepared a helicopter for you, but do you dare to go up? If you do, we have plenty of weapons to take it down so you can
Blade's expression turned extremely dark when he heard what Harvey had said. For someone like him, who had obeyed the laws of Grand City all his life, what Harvey had said was a hard pill to swallow. The point was that Harvey was right.While what happened looked like a coincidence, it resulted from Lanny's deliberate neglect. Was it not a joke for them to want Harvey to follow the rules when they themselves broke the rule first?However, Neve did not seem like she was threatened at all. She was already in a state of crazed fury, and she smiled. "You killed my fiance and then slapped me? Do you think you can leave just like this? Dream on! Even if I had to die today, I'll drag you down into the grave with me!"Crack!Harvey tightened his grip and snapped Neve's right arm. Then, he took the Rainstorm Needles and aimed them at Neve's head again. This simple action showed Harvey's determination.Neve almost let out a scream of pain as she could not stop shuddering from the pain of he
Neve, Lanny, and the others figured that once they captured Mandy, they would have it in the bag. They could do whatever they wanted to Harvey. However, they did not expect Harvey to respond with such fierceness."How dare you, Harvey!" After a moment of silence, Clarion finally reacted to what had happened. And as he waved his hand, everyone around him immediately rushed over. All of them raised the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, aiming at Harvey. It was as if they would turn Harvey into a beehive if he dared to make another move."How dare you touch me? Even my dad never hit me! You have a death wish! You're just a powerless representative! Even if you do have power, your demise is already determined after what you did openly just now!" Neve's face became twisted with anger."I might not be able to do anything to you if you don't touch me, but now that you did, no one in this world can protect you!" There was a crazed look on Neve's face. Obviously, she believed that Harvey wou
After Neve made her orders, all the men and women beside her revealed what was under their sleeves. They were all wearing the martial art weapons, the Rainstorm Needles. This was something ten times better than guns when targeting martial artists.However, Harvey ignored all of them and continued moving forward. He exclaimed coldly, "Stop! If any of you are going to continue to attack Mandy, I'm going to cripple you!"Neve gave an icy smirk. There was only disdain on her face as she narrowed her eyes at Harvey. "Who do you think you are, Harvey? Do you think you're in a position to make me stop just by telling me? Are you having heartaches for her? I'm going to hurt her right before you now!"Neve kicked Mandy to the ground and then stomped on her stomach. "You witch! Witch! Let's see who can stop you tonight! Durandal is already dead, and I don't want to live anymore! I'm not going to stop until you're dead!"Then, Neve revealed the Rainstorm Needles under her sleeves and put them
