“Grandpa, although I can’t confirm what happened yesterday, but it’s true that Mandy didn’t return home last night.” Zack Zimmer said while purposely making a concerned look.“Grandpa, no matter what the truth is, since Mandy went to negotiate for our project, I don’t think we should blame…” Zack continued to frame Mandy Zimmer.Bam!Senior Zimmer threw his glass onto the floor.“I don’t care whether it’s about our project or not, if she really disgraced our family, I won’t forgive her!” Senior Zimmer threatened.“Please don’t say that gramps, even if she did something like that, she did it for us!”“Yeah grandpa, we should try to understand her, since she’s already troubled with a useless husband.”“Ptooey! Talking about Harvey York just gets me mad, it’s a disgrace that these kinds of things keep on happening, maybe the bad luck was brought by that worthless piece of trash!”“I said it already didn’t I, what possibly could a woman accomplish, she still wants to be the project
“What are you trying to say, Quinn Zimmer.” Mandy Zimmer scolded as she had just been through a rough time. Mandy glared at Quinn.“I think you know what I’m trying to say, don’t you?” Quinn replied with a smirk.“I pitied you for having such a useless husband, but who would’ve known that you’re ‘that’ kind of a woman.”“I heard that your husband hadn't even touched your hand for the past three years, I doubted it at first, but now I’m kinda convinced, since you had an affair!” Quinn ridiculed.‘Affair?’Mandy was outrageous when she heard this as she thought that Quinn was insulting her innocence.“Quinn Zimmer, did you brush your teeth this morning? Your words stink! Don’t you know defamation is a crime?” Mandy scolded angrily.“Wow someone’s not bold enough to admit what she’d done! Tell me, did you solve the issue of the commercial centre project?” Quinn talked back confidently.“Of course I did!” Mandy answered.“Oh yeah? Then tell me, how much did it cost?” Quinn asked w
“Mandy Zimmer, you better tell me everything this instant!” Senior Zimmer ordered as he slapped the table.At that moment, Mandy took a glance at Quinn Zimmer and Zack Zimmer, she was sure that something happened before she arrived, most probably Zack’s doing, or else Senior Zimmer wouldn’t have given her such a cold attitude.She was originally suspecting Harvey York instead of Zack, but judging from the situation, it seems that Zack’s most probably the one who wanted to frame her.“Grandpa, I’ve already solved the problem.” Mandy answered as she gasped for air, trying to calm herself down.“We know that you’ve solved it, what we want to know is how did you solve it!” Quinn interrupted.“You didn’t leave Covey Chad’s place last night did you? Mandy Zimmer I’ll tell you this, it’s fine that you don’t want to be with your useless husband, it’s also fine if you want to find someone else, but could you at least don’t tarnish our reputation? Couldn’t you divorce first before finding s
“Why would you say that brother Tyson? We’ve always respected you and treated you seriously.” Senior Zimmer replied as he was worried about Tyson Woods’s attitude.One wrong step that day and the Zimmers could face a bigger issue.“Respect? Do you Zimmers take framing as a sign of respect?” Tyson asked with a sneer as he snatched the gunny sack from the man’s head.As soon as Zack Zimmer saw the man’s face, Zack’s face went pale as the man was nobody else than Covey Chad, he was just unsure why Covey was in the hands of Tyson.“You asked my subs to interfere with the Yorks’ businesses? Even if you Zimmers wanted to die, I still want to be alive.” Tyson said after he gave Covey a kick.“Brother Tyson, what happened actually?” Senior Zimmer asked with a trembling voice.“Say it!” Tyson ordered Covey and gave him another kick.Since Tyson had his time with Covey last night, Covey now admits to be Tyson’s subordinate.“Boss, Senior Zimmer, I was the one who was causing trouble at t
“Zack Zimmer, how could you do something so despicable to your own family!”“How could you frame Mandy for her efforts?”“You’re a waste of trust!”“I’m very disappointed in you!”The crowd changed their standpoints as usual.“Grandpa, it has nothing to do with me, I don’t know anything!” Quinn Zimmer quickly tried to clarify as she knew that she would also get into trouble since she’s the one who started the topic.“Father, I believe Zack just had a misunderstanding, please don’t be mad at him. Luckily nothing serious happened, I’ll take care of him when we get home.” Sean Zimmer asked with a frown as he knew that he and his son would get into trouble if they really got kicked out of the family.Senior Zimmer put up a stern look as he was also unsure how he should settle the conflict.He knew that he should give Mandy a solution or else the other Zimmers would feel unjust, but he just couldn’t force himself to kick Zack out of the family because of a woman since he thinks that
Zack Zimmer was about to burst out a laugh at that moment as he thought that he would be facing serious punishments, but it seems that Senior Zimmer saved him again.Judging from the situation, Zack’s position in the Zimmers remains unshakeable.‘Mandy you b*tch, you really think that you’re capable of opposing me?’ Zack cursed Mandy Zimmer in his thoughts.“Grandpa, I’ve realized my mistakes, I’ll take some time to reflect on myself, then I’ll come back to help our family.” Zack said while purposely making a regretful look.“I’m happy that you got this mindset already, Zack.” Senior Zimmer praised.“I don’t want any information about today leaked to anyone, if I find anyone talking about this outside, I will take actions toward all of you.” Senior Zimmer threatened as he took a quick glance at the crowd.Senior Zimmer was obviously biased toward Zack, without any disguise.Mandy gasped for a breath of air, nearly crushing her teeth as she was so mad about how Senior Zimmer hand
Harvey York frowned slightly upon that statement and said, “Senior Zimmer is being too lenient. Zack Zimmer did something as serious as that, Senior Zimmer should at least demote his position in the company to be a lesson to all the other Zimmers. Isn’t it funny to just have him reflect on what he had done?”“Moreover, Senior Zimmer did not only show bias to Zack but also did not care about Mandy’s feelings…”“Look at you, analyzing all of these with that smart-as* of yours? What’s even the point?” Lilian Yates snorted in disapproval. “What did you do today? Why didn’t you go to the company with Mandy, at least to persuade them and help her! Worthless trash!”Harvey York didn’t say anything as he had gotten used to the personality of Lilian Yates, the only thing he sighed upon was the fact that Senior Zimmer planned to knock down Mandy Zimmer for sure.Harvey knew Mandy wouldn’t dare to fight the Zimmers, in that case should he be referred to as shameless or arrogant?“Okay let’s
The next morning, Harvey York who slept in the study was woken up by Mandy Zimmer. “Harvey, grandpa wants everyone there urgently and even you included!”“Okay.” Harvey nodded, he knew clearly what happened since he ordered something to be done yesterday, seeing how efficient of a worker Yvonne Xavier was, the Zimmers should be receiving York Enterprise’s summon letter by yesterday night, right?Nine in the morning, every one of the Zimmers was in the living hall of the villa, Senior Zimmer’s face was dark and solemn as he sat on the grand chair.Yesterday night York Enterprise sent a legal letter with a clear statement, the fact that the Zimmers dared to ruin the project between the Yorks and the Zimmers, simply meant that the Zimmers just wanted to get money out of the Yorks, or so it seemed to them.Now the York’s wanted the Zimmers to take responsibility for it, which meant paying the penalty of ten times the investment amount, which was five hundred fifty million dollars.And
When Harvey heard Mandy's agreement to his plan to close down the place, he immediately snapped his finger. A young man smaller and leaner than the Boxing Champion slowly walked out from the back.He wasn't surrounded by a malevolent aura like the Boxing Champion, and he didn't beat his chest like a drum either. He simply waved his hand around in a dull way, like he was only doing this as part of his job. When the spectators saw this, all of them booed.When some of the spectators who were hoping for a chance to turn their luck around saw this, they couldn't help but start to curse.What was the Ninth Branch doing?Why did they pull out a kid like this?Were they getting him killed?Meanwhile, Durandal and the others all glanced at each other before cackling madly. They were all from the Sacred Training Grounds, so they could see the young man was indeed someone special. But no matter how special he was, the difference in power couldn't be so easily overcome.There was only one
One hour later, Harvey once again appeared at the VIP seats. Durandal and the others had been waiting for them. When they saw Harvey appear, they grinned. "One hour is over, pretty boy. Can we start the battle now? Looking at how confident you are, maybe you should consider fighting yourself. If you're willing, I can tell the Boxing Champion to just use one arm."It was obvious that not only did Durandal want to use this chance to test Harvey's power, but he also wanted to get him killed.Harvey smiled. "There's no need for overwhelming firepower. Even your father couldn't make me fight him, let alone your underling."Durandal's eyes turned incredibly cold when he heard that. Just as the atmosphere in the VIP seats was becoming fired up, the atmosphere around the ring was also becoming more tense.They hadn't even fought yet, but both sides were already staring down at each other apprehensively. It would be quite intense once the fight really began.Very quickly, Durandal took a
Harvey ignored all of them, but simply looked at all the fighters. In the end, Harvey's eyes fell on a young man of about eighteen years old. It was obvious he had just come of age, and he had trained his body well. From his physique, Harvey could tell that his martial arts abilities were quite good too.Harvey could tell immediately that the young man probably had an extraordinary upbringing to have such power at such an age. He might be a core student who came out from a Sacred Training Ground to train.Most importantly, the other fighters either looked at Harvey warily or in envy. Only he looked at Harvey peacefully, as if everyone in this world were ordinary people.Harvey gave Maya a look, and Maya quickly introduced him. "Sir, this is a servant that a member of the Ninth Branch picked up from under the bridge. He's mute, but he's extremely loyal. When we realized he has great talent in martial arts, we decided to turn him into a fighter."Harvey narrowed his eyes. What kind
Maya was slightly stunned. However, she had always been very trusting of Harvey. She didn't say anything and quickly prepared the contract.When Durandal saw what was happening, he smiled coldly and immediately signed his name.Just as Harvey was going to sign his name, Mandy's expression turned dark and said, "Harvey, why don't we bet my hand? This is a Ninth Branch affair. It didn't have much to do with you in the first place."Harvey could sense Mandy cared about him and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not to mention, certain things are unavoidable. You and the Ninth Branch are simply taking hits on my behalf. Trust me, I can manage this."Mandy hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but before she could, Durandal already said coldly, "Enough with the mushy nonsense. If you can't take a wager like this, I'm more than happy to let you both lick my boots a hundred times. After that, we'll call it even!"Harvey patted Mandy's shoulder and picked up the pen to sign his
"Your underlings are either Boxing Champions or Sword Champions. While they all sounded terrifying and their names quite stylish, and sound like they can defeat everyone that stands before them…" Harvey began coolly."Everything you did is so you can take all of the Ninth Branch's money, isn't it? If that's the case, why waste everyone's time? Let's do it decisively. We'll settle everything in one go. Of course, if you're scared, you can tell me too. I won't force you."Harvey shook his head and looked at Mandy. "This is boring, Mandy. Let's go, he's just a coward. I wonder where this spoiled brat comes from? He's scared of getting smacked by his own hand if he loses a few pennies. There's no need to waste time with people like this."When Mandy heard it, she said, "That's right. There's no need to waste time with rubbish."Durandal smiled coldly when he heard how they were mocking him. "No need for such sarcasm. I'm telling you right now, I'm not afraid of playing a game like th
"If you're sober, bend your knee to the ladies and apologize, or I'll kill you!" Harvey snarled.The long-haired man was arrogant, but it was obvious for all that Harvey was even more so. All the spectators were shocked. It was the first time they saw someone acting so arrogant.The long-haired man finally realized what had happened; he held his face and yelled, "You idiot! How dare you touch me?"Harvey gave him another slap. "So what if I do? Can't I afford to? Do you want me to hit you a dozen times?"The long-haired young man didn't expect Harvey to make a move despite the current circumstances, and was completely stunned. He held his completely swollen face and screamed, "How dare you touch me! Kill him! I want him ground to dust!"Clang!Just as the men and women wanted to stand and attack Harvey, Durandal put down the teacup in his hand with a clang. He waved his right hand and said, "All of you… Are you blind? Can't you see that this is Ms. Mandy Zimmer, the leader of t
"150 million isn't enough?""1.5 billion?"Everyone gasped the moment they heard what Harvey had to say. At the same time, many people turned and looked at him at the same time. Aside from shock and disbelief, they looked like they were looking at a fool.Everyone could see that Durandal had already completely decimated this underground fighting pit. The Ninth Branch had lost hundreds of millions of dollars by now. No matter how sharp Maya's tongue was, it couldn't hide the fact that they had lost a lot of money.So when Harvey took the initiative and said something like that, many simply thought it was for their pride. Everyone knew that at this time, one should surrender and not scream in defiance. The men and women around Durandal all stared at Harvey. They didn't feel scared or excited, simply scornful.Mandy wanted to say something, but after hearing Harvey, she decided to keep silent and let him take control of everything. She believed that he could help her."Madam! Sir
Maya looked horrified. She was the one organizing things for the Ninth Branch. This fighter was already the most powerful the Ninth Branch had, but she didn't expect him to act like a complete newbie.As for Durandal, he picked up his teacup and sipped it. His phone screen was showing a game. It was obvious the fight in front of him had already been decided…and he was bored. A mobile game was even a better time killer than this.In some way, this was truly a way of showing how high and mighty he was.Meanwhile, a woman wearing a coat next to Durandal looked at the fight with scorn. It was obvious that the fight in front of her wasn't that interesting.After exchanging blows, the fighter from the Ninth Branch had completely lost his advantage. The Boxing Champion spun and broke his right arm in one strike.Crack!Before he could even scream, the Boxing King swooped right in front of him, then grabbed his head before punching him with all his might.Pfft…Blood immediately came o
"It was clear that this so-called champion had won countless matches. Otherwise, the spectators wouldn't be so excited when they saw him. Some of the women roared and screamed as if they were on cloud nine. The air was full of passion and excitement, as if this champion could really defeat everyone under the sun.Mandy frowned as she looked at the scene, and said slowly, "That's the elite fighter Durandal brought here. From the way he fought, he was indeed someone who had been fighting in underground fighting rings like ours for a long time. He calls himself the Boxing Champion, and has already won five bouts today. He has won at least 75 million dollars from us.""I see… He's a money printer…" Harvey looked at him and nodded. "From the surface, he's a peak King of Arms. If he let himself go, I believe he might be able to fight against those close to True Warrior."Mandy nodded before continuing, "He's just one of the elites Durandal brought with him. Other than him, there's the K
