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
Covey Chad burst into laughter. “Good buddy! You’re really a loyal friend!” Covey stretched his hand out to pat Zack Zimmer’s shoulders slightly. “This is indeed a good thing. I want the public to know so badly that the goddess of Niumhi of that year has been conquered by me! Besides, I want that live-in son-in-law to know one thing. A woman who he fails to get close to has no choice but to succumb to my wishes!”“You don’t have to worry. As long as Mandy’s reputation is ruined, she’ll only be willing to be with me. If not, how could I ever make her always be mine?” Cover said and laughed wickedly. Zack smiled. “If that’s the case, I’ll do accordingly. After tomorrow, there’ll certainly be a lot of men who will be quite jealous of you. After all, this cousin of mine is certainly an absolute goddess in Niumhi! Should I address you as my brother-in-law now? Then, I’ll wish you a happy marriage and tremendous fun!” Hearing how Zack addressed him, Covey could not help but burst into
“Do you really think that I’ll help Mandy sincerely?” Zack Zimmer said smugly. “Do you mean to say that it’s a trap?” Sean Zimmer replied. Zack did not have to hide anything from his own father. He then smiled and said, “After all, you were the one who reminded me about it. Let me tell you the truth. I’m the one who commanded those people to find faults with the Zimmers and create a mess.” Sean frowned and stared at Zack. He then said, “So you made use of the outsiders to find faults with Mandy. I can understand that. But shouldn’t you step forward and save the day now? Why did you still want to help Mandy?” “Dad, what’s the use of saving the day? Mandy still holds the commercial centre project in her hands. How is that beneficial to us? What I want to do is I want to ruin that woman entirely. Only then, I’ll not face any threat when I get to be in power in the future!” Zack appeared smug. He could not tell the others about that incident, so he had no way to brag about himse
That afternoon, Harvey York drove the Porsche and went to pick up Mandy Zimmer after work just like what he had promised. At first, he did not want to keep such a high profile. But certainly they could not ride on a motorcycle to go to an occasion such as a negotiation. After he fetched Mandy, Harvey drove toward the agritainment which was located in the suburbs, following the guide of the GPS system. Mandy was slightly worried. In that instant, her exquisite face seemed slightly pale. She then said, “Harvey, I’ve thought about it thoroughly today. I feel that it’s kinda strange. Do you think that it’s a trap set up by Zack? Will anything happen to us later?” Harvey smiled slightly and said softly, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m there, no one can hurt you. Unless, they get to kill me first.” As he was saying those things, his eyes seemed rather murderous. He was fine no matter how the others treated him. But if anyone has their eyes on Mandy, he would definitely not let them go t
“He’s my husband, Harvey.” Mandy Zimmer said calmly. After she said that, almost everyone burst into laughter, including Harvey York. It was an undeniable fact that Harvey was indeed quite infamous as a live-in son-in-law who was nothing but a worthless trash. His infamy was known to everyone in the entire Niumhi. Covey Chad sneered. “You do seem rather ugly just like a dog. Besides, you look like a kept man too. Why did you take things too hard and went to be a live-in son-in-law? How could you humiliate us men in such a way? B*stard, could it be that you’re a eunuch?” Covey said with an underlying meaning. “Brother Chad, this guy is very disgusting. I want to beat him up too!” “Allow me. I’m afraid that you’ll be too strong and kill him with just a punch. I’m much gentler. Let me!” “To hell with your gentleness! He’s not a woman. Why should you be gentle toward him? It’s better to let me handle this kind of sissy.” Seeing that his subordinates had gotten into an uproar,
Twenty-five million dollars!Mandy’s expression changed slightly. Although the Zimmer family’s assets were more than a few million dollars, if they had that much working capital, they would not need York Enterprise’s investment so desperately. Moreover, York Enterprise only paid 7.6 million in the first phase. Covey requested for twenty-five million dollars under such circumstances, which was really picking their pockets. He did not even want to negotiate properly.“If the Zimmer family had that much money to give you, we wouldn’t have to find external investments. Mr. Chad, what do you want? Just be direct. We have never offended you, so why are you deliberately targeting us?” Mandy forced herself to speak calmly.“So what? I come after you because I take you seriously, understand? Why do I have to give you a reason or an excuse? Who the hell is the Zimmer family? You even wanted me to explain.” Covey frowned and looked at Mandy unhappily.Mandy took a deep breath and forced herse
Harvey smiled coldly, then picked up the beer bottle on the table and smashed it against the gangster’s head.The gangster was stunned and collapsed to the ground, unable to stand. “This guy...”“Oh shit! It seems that this b*stard is a ruthless person!”“How is it possible? Isn’t he trash?”“There’s no need to be afraid of him! He probably learned that from television. He’s just lucky…”All Covey’s subordinates were cursing, but none of them dared to step forward. In their opinion, this live-in son-in-law was useless, and would not dare to fight them. This was very different from what they had heard.Mandy was also stunned. Although Harvey had beaten Don in the Zimmer family before, she had not paid much attention to it at that time. After all, Don had only been working out for several years. However, these gangsters were different. They had all been mingling in the triad society and all were proficient in fighting skills. She never thought that Harvey could easily knock out o
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
