At the mention of Tyson Woods, everybody in the Zimmers drew in a cold breath. Who was Tyson? He was a famous person in Niumhi. A lot of people wanted to curry favor with him, but they were unable to do so. That future son-in-law—Don, was able to ask him to come over. Don was indeed quite an influential and powerful man.Even Senior Zimmer looked at Don approvingly. He was somewhat satisfied with that grandson-in-law. “You don’t want me to survive until tomorrow. Very well.” Harvey smiled. “I’m indeed curious. You’re about to lose everything, and you’re a useless person who will face bankruptcy soon. I wonder how you’re going to do that…” Someone burst into laughter. “Is he out of his mind? Mr. Xander is a rich youth. His one-million-cheque is still here. How could he say that Mr. Xander is going to lose everything and face bankruptcy? Does he even know what bankruptcy is?” “Oh! This live-in son-in-law always stays at home and is either watching TV or reading novels. He does
Don quickly came back to his senses. He then smiled and tried to make it up. “It's nothing. The vice president asked me to have a drink together. I’ve got no time today. Hence, I rescheduled to meet up with him tomorrow.”Everyone in the Zimmer family was shocked when they heard about it. The vice president of York Enterprise, asking Don to have a drink together?Moreover, Don rejected him and even rescheduled it for tomorrow. He did have some status and face!Everyone in the Zimmer family could not help but step forward and gather around Don to please him.At this time, a squeal of brakes could be heard from the gate of the villa. Several black commercial vehicles stopped at the gate.Then, the car doors were pushed open. A dozen strong men got out of the cars carrying watermelon knives and baseball bats.A wicked man wearing a white shirt was walking in the middle among those brawny men. It was the legendary Tyson Woods.Meanwhile, he was holding a cigarette between his lips a
Harvey glanced at Mandy in surprise. Harvey initially felt that his wife had neglected him since the beginning and did not care about him at all. Thus, he never thought that she would care about his safety at this moment. His heart warmed up thinking of this.However, Mandy did not notice the change of emotion in Harvey’s mind. She was extremely nervous at this moment!Who was this? This was Tyson Woods—the well-known Brother Tyson. Although she had not seen him in person, she had heard many people mentioning him.Tyson Woods was said to be just a gangster a few years ago, but then he was recruited, trained, and groomed by somebody. Unexpectedly, he also fought his way out and finally made a name for himself in Niumhi.Although Tyson had been in business and had become more restrained in the past two years, his reputation was still very powerful and intimidating where both the police and the triads had to give him some face.Harvey—the live-in son-in-law, would come to a bad end i
It was also occasional for Don to get on with Tyson!Once, Don went to the Platinum Hotel. He accidentally bumped into a beautiful woman and was almost killed. Tyson happened to pass by and did not want someone to create trouble in the store. Hence, he helped Don solve the problem.Since then, Don knew that just being mere rich was insufficient. He needed friends.Hence, he put a lot of thought into making friends with Tyson and even offered to help him manage his finances. He did help Tyson bring in a certain amount of money in the past two years, which was also why he dared to call Tyson tonight.However, investment was not a guaranteed market. There were a few times where Tyson had lost money, and Don gritted his teeth to help him.This was because he knew that if he dared to make Tyson lose money, Tyson would have beaten him till he sh*t his pants.However, to be honest, since Don had Tyson backing him up, his reputation among the younger generation in Niumhi had also risen.
Harvey smiled and did not speak.However, Tyson, who was on the opposite, unconsciously shivered at this moment.This gangster who would usually kill people ruthlessly felt that he was getting cold feet and was about to wet himself at this point.Especially when he met with Harvey’s eyes, they caused him to break out in cold sweat and could not say a word for a long time.Don, who was behind Tyson, was a little anxious when he saw his movement stopped. He then said, “Brother Tyson, no worries. He’s just a useless b*stard and a live-in son-in-law. Take him down! And chop off his hands!”Don was constantly howling at this moment. His eyes were a little red, and he could not wait to see Harvey being hacked to death on the spot.“The person you wanted to get rid of is him?” Tyson finally reacted at this moment. He turned his head and looked at Don bitterly.Tyson almost burst into tears. “Don, you better admit that you have the wrong person, or else…”“Yes, that’s him! Brother Tyso
Slap, slap, slap!A few tight slaps were flung onto Don’s face without any warning, causing his face to swell and became a pig’s head in an instant!Don was stunned. “Brother Tyson, I asked you to hit this trash…why are you…”Everyone present, including Don, was stunned.What was going on here?Was Tyson not Don’s great brother?How could he fall out with Don so easily?“You’re going to get yourself killed, and you even want to harm me. I must ruin you today…” Tyson kicked Don until he flew several meters away. He then said viciously, “Hit him, hit him hard!”The subordinates who followed him were initially a little dazed, but now they had reacted. Now that the boss had spoken, how could they just stay still and watch?Hit him!A dozen people came kicking Don in the next second.“Why?! Brother Tyson, why did you ask them to hit me?!”Don cried out and rolled over. This was not what I want!All the members of the Zimmer family around looked at each other. Don would not be b
Were they seeing things or dreaming?Why was Tyson Woods—the business mogul so respectful to this useless live-in son-in-law at this moment? His attitude was as if he was seeing his father.How was this useless b*stard capable of that?Many people could not help pinching themselves. They must be dreaming! It had to be that!Mandy was also stunned. Her worry from the beginning had turned into a complete shock. How could this happen?Tyson did not care about the attitude of the people in the Zimmer family at all. At this moment, he had done it all except getting down on his knees. He then whispered, “I didn’t know that it was you. I would have never come if I know it’s you. Please… don’t get angry…”“Enough.” Harvey frowned and said coldly, “After so many years, you still have to come forward for this little mess. How have you fallen so low?”“It’s because this b*stard did help me to invest in some stocks…” Tyson did not dare to hide it from Harvey.Harvey shook his head and said
Tyson slapped Don on the face and said coldly, “Don’t you know why I ordered them to hit you? Don’t you know who Harvey is? How dare you offend him?”“He… isn't he the useless live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family?”At this moment, Don regretted it so much that he was about to vomit blood. The person he called had beaten him up like this, and it was because of this b*stard—Harvey. He did not understand!“Live-in son-in-law?” Tyson sneered. Just when he was about to disclose Harvey’s identity, he happened to see Harvey casually glancing at him.He subconsciously shuddered and cursed. “I’m asking you, have you gone bankrupt? Then does it mean that the five million that I had given you are gone?”The Zimmer family did not dare to persuade him. At this moment, all of them were shocked, especially Senior Zimmer. His expression slightly changed when they heard Tyson’s words.He subconsciously took a few steps forward and said, “Brother Tyson…did you just say that Mr. Xander has gone
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
