In the VIP ward. At that moment, Shane Naiswell had woken up, and now he could sit in bed. Rosalie Naiswell was an extremely charming girl who could bewitch literally anyone. Now, she was sitting beside Shane, chatting with him like a little girl. “Rose, I’ve thought about it just now. Although this incident happened because of Harvey, it’s not entirely his fault. If I didn’t believe in others easily and went to Liam’s territory, I wouldn't be held as a hostage there. After all, I brought it upon myself. Don’t blame him.”“On the contrary, it was Harvey who saved us both. He even sent me to the hospital for treatment. Besides, I heard that he offended quite a lot of people because of me. I indeed owed him big this time around. You must remember that.” Shane said in resignation. At first, he had a slight intention to test Harvey York but there was no such need now. From that incident, he could see that Harvey was indeed quite outstanding in terms of his conduct, capabilities an
“Well done!” Upon hearing that, Shane Naiswell appeared satisfied. There were some things which he could not do given his status. Now, his junior was quite sensible in doing things, and he was very satisfied too. On the other hand, Zeno Naiswell looked at Harvey York thankfully. There were things which were unsuitable for him to say. But having Harvey said them brought a different meaning. It could be said that Harvey indeed understood how to behave well and survive in the society. At that moment, Rosalie Naiswell spoke up all of a sudden and she said softly, “Grandpa, there might be a lot of people who may catch wind of our news here since this is a property that belongs to the Naiswells. If we’re not being careful, the news might be spread to the Naiswells. Why don’t we change to another place?” After she said that, she felt rather worried and uneasy. She did not know why but she was reluctant to see Harvey standing with Ella Graves. But Shane had not thought so much. After
“By the way, that live-in son-in-law in your Zimmers is indeed a legendary person. I can’t even begin to imagine how worthless a man can be. I heard that his status in your family is extremely low and pathetic. Not only does he do all the house chores at home, he’s always being scolded and beaten up by the others too. Even when he needs money, he’ll go and ask for it from his wife. This kind of person is really a disgrace to all men!” Hearing that, Zack Zimmer smiled coldly and said, “Not only that. Brother Chad, you’ve no idea what a worthless piece of trash he is. Not only does he wash clothes and cook meals, I heard that he even washes the stinky shoes of his wife’s best friends. Besides, he doesn’t even have the right to have meals with the others at the dining table. He could only eat the leftovers in the kitchen and make do with that.” Speaking of that, Zack felt disgusted too. He could not help but retch several times. “D*mn! What a worthless piece of trash! If I see a per
“Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s a good thing, and I hope that you’ll be able to accomplish it.” Shane Naiswell smiled happily. He seemed just like a nice and warm old man. But Harvey York frowned slightly. Shane appeared outstanding and eccentric, but it was not easy to tackle such a cunning old man like him. However, Harvey still had no idea what were Shane’s motives at that moment.After thinking about it for a short while, Harvey said softly, “At first, if there’s anything I can do for you, I’ll certainly give you my promise immediately. But I’m a person who always acts cautiously. Hence, I still need to say something beforehand. If it doesn’t go against my principles in life, I can give you my promise.” Shane burst into laughter. He then said, “You’re indeed quite special, and I like that. A young man’s special character shows his capability. On the other hand, a person who always acts in an obedient manner, it means that he doesn’t even have his own dignity. How could a p
“I’m not interested in the Zimmers, but my wife is a Zimmer.” Harvey York appeared nonchalant and calm. “I need to love her with all my heart and soul since she’s my wife. It’s the simplest reason.”“Master Naiswell, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now since my wife is still waiting for me at home.” After that, Harvey smiled faintly at Rosalie Naiswell, turned around and left. Shane Naiswell did not stop him. He just looked at Harvey’s back with some changes in his facial expression. ‘He’s just a man, and he’s quite young too. But he could be so calm and nonchalant when he was tempted by money, power and beauty. How could a man like him have such high confidence? He’s quite a persistent man too.’‘It seems like he could easily gain money as well as power if he’s willing.’‘At the moment, he doesn’t want those things just because he’s uninterested.’‘Is it because of his confidence? Or does he have a high opinion of himself?’ At that moment, Shane found himself unable to
“Zack was right. The commercial centre project is our great concern. It concerns the future of the Zimmers. We cannot let anything ruin it!” “The people who made the mess might want to bully you since they saw that you’re just a girl. Maybe there won’t be so much trouble if we change the person-in-charge to a man.” “Mandy, are you frightened? If you are, just tell us. We’ll definitely help you.”Those people from the Zimmers appeared kind with great intentions in that instant. But they wanted to gain the post as the person-in-charge for the commercial centre project so badly. Regarding the problem which they faced currently, no one wanted to think of a resolution. They had the notion that Mandy Zimmer was the one who brought about that trouble. Even if she stepped down from that post, she still needed to tackle that issue by herself. Senior Zimmer appeared gloomy because of his deep dissatisfaction. At first, he did not have much expectation for Mandy. But, he could not help
That night, Harvey York returned home early. Mandy Zimmer was filled with much resentment and anger when she saw Harvey who appeared indifferent and nonchalant. After all, he came home in the middle of the night the previous day. Hence, Mandy glared at him sternly and turned to enter her bedroom. “Mom, what’s wrong this time around?” Harvey was puzzled. ‘I didn’t annoy Mandy.’ “Do you know that you still need to care for your wife? Tell me. Where have you been these two nights? You neither washed the clothes nor cleaned up the bathrooms. You didn’t even cook dinner. What do you want me to eat then?” At that moment, Lilian Yates was watching TV in the living room. At that moment, she glared at Harvey sternly when she heard that. Since Harvey spent fifteen dollars to help Mandy retrieve the investment funds from York Enterprise, Lilian was slightly nicer to him. But it was not so much better. “I’m busy with work.” Harvey explained. “How busy could you be? Don’t think that
“It seems inappropriate, isn’t it?” Harvey York appeared calm. But in fact, he was deeply nervous. ‘Does it mean that we’re going to do what we didn’t manage to do the night during our wedding three years ago? I’m very excited.’ “You… go and take a bath first. The bathroom downstairs is broken, and it’s not been repaired yet.” Mandy Zimmer looked for an excuse immediately. Harvey did not say anything. He then went and took a bath quickly. When he saw Mandy going into the bathroom with her clothes in her arms, he started to do push-ups on the floor as some kind of warm-up. In less than half an hour, Mandy emerged from the bathroom. She wore the adorable bear pajamas, and the crystal-like water droplets on her skin were clearly seen. She looked extremely lovely and charming. Harvey jumped up from the floor. He could not even avert his gaze as he fixed his eyes on Mandy. He then said subconsciously, “How adorable!” “What did you say?” Mandy asked and wiped her hair dry. “No
After Harvey had easily defeated Shouta and the great priest, he ignored the others and turned to look at Yvonne. He gave her a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I should have come here soon."Yvonne was somewhat stunned. She couldn't even control herself as she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might be dreaming. In the next second, she immediately jumped into Harvey's arms. Harvey was stunned a little, but after some hesitation, extended his hand to pat her back. "It's fine. I'm here."Their actions, while simple, looked like some kind of TV drama in a place and situation like this.All the Islanders could only watch. Today was the wedding of the century! They didn't expect someone from Country H to cause a ruckus. Not only was Harvey humiliating Shingen, but he was also making Shingen's to-be wife cheat in front of his eyes!Shingen, who was supposed to be furious, was not angry at all. Instead, he simply looked at this scene with a dry smile. Today's events were beyo
Shouta had no choice but to unsheath the shortsword on his belt. He crossed the longsword and shortsword with each other and attempted to retaliate against Harvey using his twin-sword style. It was obvious that when there was nowhere for him to run, he hoped that he could force Harvey back using that. Even if he couldn't, he could at least deal damage to Harvey, couldn't he?Unfortunately, reality was much crueler than what Shouta had envisioned. He overestimated his power and underestimated Harvey's ability. Before the two blades could even reach Harvey, Harvey's palm had already fallen on his face.There was a loud slap, and Shouta's right cheek instantly became swollen as if a truck had rammed into his face. Even when he had secretly learned from Country H the way to absorb the force of an attack, he was in so much pain that he almost cried.When Shouta saw that Harvey was going to press on the assault, he instinctively took a few more steps back. Realizing this, he was filled
The blood-red coffin parted Yvonne and Shingen on two sides of the stage. Everyone could only watch, mouths agape and eyes wide.This was Yvonne and Shingen's wedding! Who would be so bold as to kick up a storm here?A slender figure appeared on the red coffin and smiled at Yvonne. Then, he immediately approached Shingen and slammed his palm downward. It looked like it had no power, but in Shingen's eyes, the palm kept approaching as if it would cover his entire vision.Shingen narrowed his eyes, wanting to fight back. Shouta had already rushed over and yelled, "Today's your wedding! It'll be bad for you to spill blood! Allow me to help you. Who are you? How dare you interrupt Master Shingen's wedding!"Shouta had already unsheathed the longsword in his belt and slashed at the figure in front of him.Swish!There was a loud noise. As the two sides clashed, sparks appeared mid-air. There was a screeching sound, and a lot of people felt their eardrums almost shatter. While Shou
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the wedding of the century. Thank you for coming all the way here, no matter where you're from," a great priest from the Church of the Western Court said, looking at everyone with gentle eyes as he held a tome in his hand."Today is the wedding of Mr. Shingen Tokugawa from the Island Nation and Ms. Yvonne Xavier from Country H. From today onward, they will become a family. From today onward, they shall take the vow of marriage, and everyone here in this wedding will be their witness."Now, Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, Ms. Yvonne Xavier. We shall start with the first step."The great priest looked at Shingen, then brushed his hand at the golden debit card he had just received. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, I stand here as a representative of the gods to ask you one question. Are you willing to take Ms. Yvonne Xavier as your wife? In sickness and health, in good times and in bad, to love her and honor her all the days of her life?"Many
After they had finished paying attention to Jesse, some started watching Yvonne. Initially, they all thought that Yvonne could not possibly be some kind of beauty.But after giving her a few looks, many of the men started to have lustful expressions. That was because, as pale as Yvonne was, her beauty was not something the Islanders had ever witnessed.No matter which of the island's famous beauties, they could not compare themselves to Yvonne. Some of the women who wanted to compare themselves to Yvonne gave up. That was because they clearly knew that they could not hold the candle to Yvonne.Shingen was satisfied with his inflated ego when he saw the men's jealousy and the women's humble expressions.At the same time, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was an emperor looking down on his subjects.Clang… Clang… Clang…When Yvonne and her entourage arrived at the stage, the bell had been struck seven times.The most fortuitous hour had arrived.The expensiv
When the guests saw the staff working, they knew the newlywed should be arriving soon.They were right. As the helicopter the Island Nation's TV crew rented soared through the sky, Hotel Hope's entrance appeared on screen. The 52 Toyota Centuries decorated with flowers slowly drove over. All the cars were covered with red roses and fresh flowers, making others feel romantic.The real time for the wedding was 6.50 p.m.It was said that this was the hour that the groom, Shingen, chose himself. He believed that this was the luckiest time for him.As the time drew closer, so did the crowd.Most of the people from the crowd were from the Island Nation, while only a handful were people from Country H who had the right to observe the wedding. They had already been allied with the Islanders a long time ago.Not far from the embassy, one could see the cars used by the Wolsing's precinct coming in and out. The staff inside the car would observe the wedding with their binoculars, but their
Evening. Six o'clock. The sun was already setting. It was the most beautiful hour of the day, and it was also the most fortuitous hour of the day.However, an iciness slowly expanded from the Island Nation embassy in Wolsing's countryside, next to Lake Dove.According to international law, the area where the embassy was belonged to the Islanders. Which meant this area, including Lake Dove, was territory belonging to the Island Nation. This land followed the law of the Island Nations, and the ones protecting the land were their nations.After working hard for decades, the Islanders finally acquired such a good piece of land, which was a rare opportunity for them.Today was also a day that was worth remembering for the Island Nation's Shinto Way.How attractive it was for someone from the Shinto Way, one of the Island Nation's Six Schools of Martial Arts, to marry someone from Xavier of Wolsing, one of Country H's Top Ten Families.That was why the Island Nation's five other sc
Yvonne's expression was cold as she said nothing. Shingen could feel his anger building up when he saw how Yvonne refused to say anything, as if she were not afraid.He immediately pushed Jesse away, who wanted to stop him. He walked over and grabbed Yvonne by the throat. "Do you think you can act arrogantly just because Jesse is protecting you and I need to show your family respect? I'm warning you. After today, that sorry excuse of a man you love will have his fate decided!"I will turn his head into a decoration and put it right on our bedside table! I will make sure he watches us sleep together forever!"Shingen let go of his hand when he said that, then turned to look at Jesse with a dark expression. "It's getting late. Make sure she looks pretty, and get her into the bridal car! If you missed the time, then the entire wedding is off!"After that, Shingen gave a cold snort and left with his men. It was obvious that not only did he want to conquer Yvonne, but he was going to us
Yvonne did not even raise her eyes, as if an air of death surrounded her. It was as if everything she did today was just to complete a mission. And once that mission was done, her existence would be meaningless after that.Slap!When Shingen saw that Yvonne was like a marionette, his arrogant smile became cold and furious. He immediately slapped her on the face with an open palm.Yvonne said nothing but could not control herself and fell to the ground because of the force. Even her forehead was bleeding a little from the hit."Do you think you can avoid this by pretending to be deaf? Or do you think you can die once you've married into the Tokugawa family after the wedding is complete, and the Tokugawa family's and Xavier family's cooperation is complete?" Shingen said with a smirk."It's useless. If you obey me, then it's fine. If you don't, then I'll simply feed you the special Bonerust Powder that the Shinto Way makes. Forget about trying to commit suicide; you won't even have
