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
“My friend sent it to me,” Harvey explained vaguely, then continued, “Anyway, we can find out who is behind all this, then we can leave safely. Other things are inconsequential, okay?”Mandy gritted her teeth but said nothing. Although the video confused her, she just wanted to leave because she was scared of this place.Covey’s expression changed, and he said after a while, “I can make a deal with you, but I need to confirm the truth of the matter before letting you go.”Harvey shook his head and said, “No, I’m staying, but you have to let my wife go first. I’ll tell you after she gets home safely.”Covey looked displeased and stared at Harvey without speaking.Harvey said indifferently, “Mr. Chad, I’m staying here. Are you still worried that I won’t tell you? Besides, you can wait until you have confirmed the truth before telling me who is behind the scenes. Let my wife go first so I can be at ease, otherwise, I can’t believe you.”Covey was silent, then barked out a laugh sudd
Tyson walked up to Harvey respectfully, bowed, and said, “Sir, what should I do with this guy?”Covey laughed at the scene. “Tyson, are you crazy? Are you calling him, a live-in son-in-law, Sir? We both have the same status in Niumhi, don’t you feel embarrassed? Do you know that this guy is just a useless person?”Tyson just looked up slightly without putting his hands down, then sneered, “Covey, don’t you understand? It seems you’re quite foolish.”Covey narrowed his eyes. Although Tyson came here with a lot of men, would he dare to do something? If he did, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?“Tyson Woods, you don’t frighten me. I have someone backing me, and it’s not like you don’t know about it! If something happens to me today, you will also have a bad ending. Do you dare interfere in my affairs?” Covey snarled.Tyson laughed and did not explain. There was a reason why he did not dare to touch Covey in the past. After all, Covey had a powerful backer, and if he
“This guy does stand-up comedy, right? He is so funny!”“I can easily knock him down with just a single kick. How dare he act tough in front of me?!”Harvey was speechless.Tyson slowly raised his head, his eyes cold. He asked seriously, “Sir, do you need me…”Harvey shook his head and said lightly, “He dared to hit on my wife, so I’ll do it myself. Otherwise, what kind of man would I be?”Harvey walked towards Covey after he finished speaking.Covey unconsciously stepped back and then cursed angrily. “What are you trying to do?”A few of his subordinates held steel pipes and stood in front of Covey, ready to fight.Harvey just kept walking. Covey’s subordinates shouted, and moved to attack him. Harvey easily dodged the steel pipes, and he rolled the ashtray in his hand casually.Smash! Smash! Smash!They were all either holding their heads or their hands went limp. These people looked tall, but no one could stop Harvey right now, even if it was only for a second.Covey was
Covey covered his face and wailed pitifully as blood spurted out of his nose.If Zack saw this, he would shiver since he was also hit by Harvey with an ashtray. However, he would never expect that Harvey would throw an ashtray at someone like Covey. He did not care about his background at all.Covey was now wondering whether the person in front of him was really the live-in son-in-law who helped his wife wash her feet and helped his mother-in-law wash the toilet, like the rumours said.The status of that legendary live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family was worse than a dog, but how was he so powerful?“Who is the one behind all this?” Harvey demanded coldly. He threw the ashtray and grabbed Covey’s throat with his left hand.Covey’s face turned pale, but he still said hoarsely, “Harvey, we have our own rules in our circle. You better kill me now, or else I will have the entire Zimmer family die with you tomorrow!”“You are so unreasonable. I already told you who killed Liam, but
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
Vroom!When the sun was setting, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly stopped in front of the Platinum Casino.Clarion was extremely against Harvey wanting to help Hale, but in the end, he still could not resist Harvey's insistence. He had no choice but to take Harvey to see Camellia.This was because Clarion genuinely meant well toward Harvey.No matter how it looked, Harvey had been surrounded by enemies ever since he had arrived in Grand City. In this kind of situation, Clarion hoped that Harvey would have a few enemies left.At the very least, they should have a talk before going for each other's throat.Of course, Harvey had no hope that anything could be achieved by talking. However, when he saw how Clarion was thinking of him, he believed he should at least make the effort to meet the legendary Queen Bee Camellia and see if they could actually talk things out.Clarion also felt relieved when he saw that Harvey was willing to talk. He even invited Neve to be there too, hoping th
"If I remember correctly, Dan is also a True Warrior elite, correct? Is he not interested in this Chapter of Ascension? He didn't have a hand in this?" asked Harvey when he remembered something else.Clarion smirked. "Well… How should I put this? Of course, everyone who practices martial arts will be interested in the Chapter of Ascension. One becomes practically invincible once one can step into that level. Once a person reaches that stage, all the politicking and schemes will become pointless, since they're nothing before absolute power."However, Clarion heaved a sigh. "Unfortunately, one cannot instantly become a master when it comes to martial arts. The Chapter of Ascension is indeed something very beneficial, but it also causes more harm than good. Unless someone possesses extreme power, those who have it in their possession will be attacked by everyone else."This doesn't only apply to Grand City. Even when one is outside of Grand City, there will be countless factions and el
"Alright, enough talk," interrupted Harvey as he changed the subject. "Why would someone like Camellia be interested in Hale? Even if he was once a martial arts prodigy, so what? Don't tell me one of the Seven Families of Grand City is interested in his martial arts manuals."Clarion's expression was obviously hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he could not decide. Harvey did not force him, however. Harvey calmly reasoned, "If it's something you can say, say it. But if you can't, then just stay quiet. I won't force you when it comes to things like this."Clarion sighed. "It's not that I can't say it. It's just that this involves too many people. It's extremely complicated. I'm worried you can't climb back up because it goes so deep."Harvey calmly replied, "Don't worry. Forget about Grand City. Few things in this world can make me worry about it being too complicated."Clarion scoffed but still whispered. "I'll be direct. Everything I say to you right now can't be proven by
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
