Harvey York's Rise to Power

Chapter 1

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights.

That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests.

All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.”

Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.”

“Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…”

“Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…”

“Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…”

“Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…”

“...”

“Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation.

The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude.

Looking at their facial expressions, Senior Zimmer was delighted too. He was feeling gratified.

At that moment, a son-in-law from the Zimmers—Harvey York, stepped forward all of a sudden. He said, “Grandpa, could you please buy me a scooter? It’s more convenient for me to go and buy some vegetables…”

In that instant, everyone from the Zimmers was shocked. Almost everyone was stunned as they looked at Harvey in disbelief.

Had the son-in-law lost his mind? What kind of occasion was that? How could a son-in-law ask for something?

Besides, he did not even prepare a present for Senior Zimmer during the birthday party. How could he be so shameless to ask for something from Senior Zimmer? He even asked for nothing but a scooter. Did he want to humiliate Senior Zimmer intentionally?

Three years ago, they did not know where Grandma Zimmer found a man called Harvey. She forced her eldest granddaughter to marry him. At that time, Harvey was a poor man and was no different from a beggar.

However, on the day of their marriage, Grandma Zimmer passed away. Since then, everyone from the Zimmers looked down on him. For the past three years, Harvey did all kinds of menial work for the Zimmers. He had to prepare water for the others to wash their feet. Besides that, he was in charge of cooking too. He indeed led quite a pathetic life there.

Now, he voiced out and asked for a scooter. It was indeed the best of a bad bunch.

The scooter at home was stolen by someone when he went and bought the vegetables the day before. He was poor and had no money, so he could only voice out his wish at that moment.

Since Senior Zimmer was quite happy, Harvey felt that he would certainly grant his wish since it was such a small matter.

Senior Zimmer appeared quite happy just now but his face darkened all of a sudden.

He threw the glass from his hand and it shattered on the floor. He then shouted angrily, “B*stard! Did you come to attend the birthday party or did you come to ruin it for everybody?”

Harvey’s wife, Mandy Zimmer rushed forward and explained, “Grandpa, Harvey is insensible. Today is a happy day. Don’t be angry because of him.”

Then, she dragged Harvey aside.

At that moment, Mandy’s cousin, Quinn Zimmer sneered. “Mandy, take a look at your useless husband! What occasion do we have today? It’s grandpa’s seventieth birthday party. He came empty-handed. How dare he ask for something from grandpa? When did he become so daring?”

“That’s true. He has no manners. How could he ask for something? Didn’t he see so many guests here today? It’s indeed humiliating!” The person who voiced out was Senior Zimmer’s most beloved grandson—Zack Zimmer. He always disliked Mandy. Now he found the chance to mock her.

“What a useless b*stard! What right does he have to stay in our family?”

“Yes! He humiliated us!”

“I see it now. He did it intentionally to annoy us! He wanted to ruin grandpa’s happy mood!”

“What a useless person! We have so many servants here in the family. Do we need you to go and buy vegetables?”

“You don’t even work hard for it. How shameless! Do you think that you’re significant to us?”

“Get lost this instant! I’ll beat you up if you humiliate us more!”

“...”

Listening to the condemnation and accusations from the Zimmers, Harvey could not help but look down.

Three years ago, Harvey might have died a violent death if Grandma Zimmer had not taken him in. It was also why he never complained about doing all kinds of menial tasks for the Zimmers for the past three years.

“Grandpa, the manager from York Enterprise—Don Xander has come to wish you on your birthday!” Somebody said at the door.

Soon, a tall and handsome man entered the hall with a smile.

York Enterprise was a family business that belonged to the most influential family—the Yorks in South Light.

Moreover, Don was one of the project managers working for York Enterprise. He came from a good family background, and held an important and prestigious position in the company. A lot of families in Niumhi wanted to get close to him, but they never found any good chance. Surprisingly, he came to wish Senior Zimmer on his birthday.

“Senior Zimmer, this is my gift for you!”

Don smiled and said. When he opened the gift box, a lot of people were stunned.

There was a cheque in the box, and it was worth eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars.

In Niumhi, that amount of money was used for a marriage proposal.

“Senior Zimmer, I came today to make a marriage proposal. I have admired Mandy for a long time now. I hope that she could accept my proposal and marry me!”

The others gasped in amazement.

In that instant, everyone was shocked.

Mandy was Harvey’s wife. Did Don care not for that? He did not show Harvey any respect at all.

But after much consideration, Harvey was just a useless son-in-law who was adopted. Why did Don have to respect him? Don was not even afraid that he might offend Harvey.

“I know that what I said might be too abrupt but I couldn’t bear to see my beloved Mandy living with a useless man. Senior Zimmer, I hope that you can consider my offer properly.” Don smiled and said. He then turned around and flashed a smile at Mandy before he turned and left.

Up until that time, Don never threw a glance at Harvey. He did not bother about Harvey.

After he left, everyone fell into a heated discussion.

“Mr. Xander is a department manager at York Enterprise. He has great power. I heard that his one decision could decide the fate of a small company, ruining it or letting it prosper.”

“Mandy is so lucky! If she marries Mr. Xander, it would be so much better than being with that useless Harvey!”

“If they marry each other, our family will certainly benefit from it too.”

Mandy’s younger sister, Xynthia Zimmer stepped forward all of a sudden and said, “Harvey, don’t you want a scooter? If you’re willing to agree to divorce my sister, I’ll buy a scooter for you tomorrow. How about that?”

“Good! What Xynthia said is wonderful!”

“Doesn’t this useless man want a scooter? We’ll give it to him! Let him agree to the divorce!”

Senior Zimmer’s eyes fluttered. He gave Harvey a meaningful look and said, “Harvey, if you’re willing to divorce Mandy, I can certainly give you more than just a scooter. How about a million dollars?”

At first, Harvey lowered his head. But now, he threw a glance at Mandy beside him. He then shook his head and said, “Grandpa, I won’t ever divorce Mandy.”

Senior Zimmer’s facial expression worsened. He pointed at Harvey and scolded him angrily, “B*stard! Don’t you reject such a great offer! Get lost! Get lost this instant! I don’t want a bad egg to attend my birthday party!”

Harvey was stunned for a short while. It surprised him to see Senior Zimmer being so unfriendly toward him, disregarding his feelings. At that moment, he could only shake his head subconsciously and left.

“Harvey…” Mandy seemed hesitant. She did not know whether she should go after him.

Seeing that, Senior Zimmer said coldly, “Mandy, if you dare to leave with him today, I’ll disown you and never admit that you’re my granddaughter!”

Mandy soon stopped walking. She did not expect to see her grandpa being so cruel.

Harvey said immediately, “Stay. Don’t bother about me.”

Before Mandy could react, Harvey turned and left.

Zack burst into laughter. “My dear brother-in-law, how do you plan to head home? Don’t tell me that you planned to walk all the way home. Come, I have a dollar here. Let me be so generous and give it to you so that you could pay for your bus fare. Don’t be ashamed to take it!”

Then, he fished out a dollar and threw it at Harvey.

The Zimmers broke into a roar of laughter.

Harvey gritted his teeth slightly, but he remained speechless. After that, he left Zimmer's Villa directly.

At that moment, his phone rang all of a sudden.

He took out his old phone and glanced at it. It was a contact number that ended in six digits of eight.

Harvey frowned slightly. He then clicked on the message and glanced at it.

“Sir, the York Enterprise is in great trouble. Please come home to deal with it.”

  • Harvey York's Rise to Power   Chapter 2

    “It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu

    Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi

    “An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?” Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’ Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the

    “Sir, I’ll report to the chief immediately. You…” “Don’t try to bargain with me. Otherwise, I’ll ruin the entire York Enterprise!”Before the person at the other end of the phone could speak, Harvey hung up the phone immediately.... In the Gold Coast Villa area, every villa was specifically designed by an internationally famous designer. From the type of ceramic tiles up until the type of trees, they were all chosen with great care. It was indeed not a place where one could afford to buy even though they were rich. At that moment, Harvey was sitting casually on the sofa at the balcony. Across him was the current chief of the Yorks—Yonathan York. He was Harvey’s uncle, and he was the one who asked his driver to pick Harvey up and gave him a ride to the villa just now. Looking at the carefree Harvey, Yonathan smiled and said, “Harv, we haven’t met each other for so many years now. You seem so much more handsome and energetic…” “Uncle, we don’t have to beat around the bush

    “Don?”Harvey was stunned for a moment. He then smiled, ‘This guy is just a dog raised by the York Enterprise. It was only a matter of time before he got kicked out.’“Mother, I won’t get a divorce. Even if we are getting a divorce, this is none of your business. I hope you don’t interfere in our affair.” Harvey laughed and said this sentence before riding on his beloved electric bike and left.“Harvey, you’re nothing!” Lilian shuddered with anger. She had almost driven over Harvey with her car. However, she could only suppress her anger and quickly left after seeing a crowd surrounding them.…Mandy walked to the front desk of the company during after-hours.She then saw two girls laughing while saying something and many employees were watching.“Miss Zimmer’s husband is a loser. He said that he would give her roses from Prague. How dare he say that? Didn’t he look at himself in the mirror? Not to mention that he rode an electric bike, even his slippers were broken. A guy like

    “You are…Harvey?”Howard Stone stared at Harvey doubtfully. He sneered for a while, parked his car, and walked straight into the hotel.Harvey felt so awkward. He did not expect Howard to ignore him when he talked to him. The two entered the private room one after the other. The classmates were all there at this time. Everyone looked over when the door opened. “Isn’t this the class monitor? The class monitor has also become a successful person too! So handsome!” Someone heckled. Indeed, Howard was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes, with the Audi car key hanging on his waist. He looked so handsome at this moment.Soon, someone saw Harvey who was walking in behind Howard. Although the suit did not fit him well, it was still an exquisite, high-end, and a famous brand.A classmate saw this and smiled. “Harvey, you seem to be doing well too. Come, these two main seats are reserved for you and the class monitor!”Howard glanced at Harvey and sneered. He shook his head and s

    Harvey initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Howard’s behavior, he shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to Shirley’s side and said, “Shall we go together? I’m afraid there’ll be trouble later.”“This…” Shirley hesitated a bit. She did have a good relationship with Harvey during college, but obviously, Howard was the main character tonight. If she left now, would she not offend Howard?On the other hand, when Howard saw that Harvey was still there and even hooked up with the beautiful classmate—Shirley, his face darkened. He stared at him. “Harvey, it’s fine if you don’t get out. Now you still want to take our beautiful classmate with you. Who do you think you are? Are you a successful person? Don’t forget! You are a live-in son-in-law, and we feel ashamed to have a classmate like you!”“That’s right! All our classmates are doing so well. You are a disgrace!”“Hurry up and get out! Shirley, he’s a live-in son-in-law. You must not be fooled by him!

    “Ah…” Howard was dumbfounded, this…“No?”“No…no…Brother Tyson, have fun and enjoy…” Howard did not dare to look at Wendy’s face at the moment after he finished speaking. Instead, he grabbed the key on the table and was about to run.“Howard! You b*stard!” Wendy was trembling with anger. She never thought a gentleman like him would be a coward. The other classmates were also cowering. All of them looked like they were afraid to get into trouble.Harvey was the only person present with a blank face, not because of anything else, but because he was the one who trained and groomed Tyson Woods secretly when he was in the Yorks.Tyson had been on the streets at a young age. He had no money and power. He was almost hacked to death on the streets several times. Once, Harvey met him and thought he might become a prominent figure, so he decided to train him.He was surprised that Tyson had grown so much in just a few years.However, Harvey did not intend to recognize him. He was no longe

    "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

    "You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!

    After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at

    "Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H

    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.
