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
“That’s right Mandy, none of the Zimmers managed to get a single contract with the Yorks before, you’re really the best one here, if you’re there everything would most likely be solved.”“You’re the one responsible for the commercial centre project, you won’t reject will you?”“Mandy, I think this is the best way to solve it, why don’t you drop by the York’s once again?”All their arrows were pointed right at Mandy Zimmer as they’re expecting her to solve this big issue for the Zimmers so that they wouldn’t go bankrupt.Mandy was simply speechless. She never would have thought the incident from yesterday would lead to what was happening right now.The funniest thing was that it was those people who made it clear that Zack Zimmer’s the hope for the Zimmers’ future and what now? They wanted her to solve the matter again? She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at this anymore.“Mandy, you won’t disagree with this right? This commercial centre project is yours and because of your pr
Everyone went along with what Zack Zimmer said, since they couldn’t do anything to solve the issue all they could afford was to cheer Senior Zimmer up with some nice words.Mandy Zimmer’s blood was boiling, how shameless could Zack be, all of those was caused by him, now not only he couldn’t turn things around, he’s trying to act as if he’s righteous and all, she would slap him if she could.“In that case, our heir of the Zimmer, please go ahead and solve the issue then,” Mandy said coldly.“Ho ho, I’m not even the project manager of the commercial centre, why would I be intervening in this! Tell you what Mandy, if you can’t do anything about this, you have to be the one bearing the loan of five hundred and fifty million dollars!” Zack replied heatedly in a fierce manner.He clearly wouldn’t be able to resolve the dispute with the Yorks hence if that was the case, the only way out was to have Mandy bear all the consequences.With that thought in mind Zack couldn’t help but mentall
Everyone was jolted and stared at Harvey York incredulously, they never would have expected Harvey would do that in this crucial moment, and without thinking twice, he picked up some and threw at Zack Zimmer’s face again.How unlucky could Zack be that he couldn’t dodge the ash thrown by Harvey at him for so many times!But Harvey was too crazy himself for his own good, who knew that he could act like that? He shouldn’t be allowed to attend this meeting in the first place!“Harvey, you really think I can’t kick your as* huh? I’d call people up to punch you to death!” Zack yelled furiously while covering up his nose.“Who, Covey Chad?” Harvey asked nonchalantly.“Yeah, Brother Chad! Me and him you have no idea how close we are, he would…” As he was enraged he didn’t manage to filter his words properly, but it was only that moment he realised he said something wrong, his face instantly turned as pale as sheet.“’Brother Chad’, so friendly.” Harvey chuckled. “Don’t you forget that a
The rest of them fixed their gazes on Mandy. At that moment, she was furious. Harvey only sighed inwardly. He finally understood it now. Regardless of the incident concerning the shopping centre, Senior Zimmer would never do anything to Zack.For Senior Zimmer, there was a vast difference between men and women. Now, it had caused quite a huge mess. Harvey knew that he should just let it be. If not, his wife’s situation might take an even worse turn. After thinking about it for a short while, Harvey sent a text message to Mandy. Mandy glanced at her phone, and then trembled slightly. It was because Harvey had asked her to agree to resolve this issue. He also wanted her to make a request. Mandy looked at Harvey, who smiled faintly and said, “Trust me.” Mandy remembered what happened the day before yesterday. She chose to believe in him. In that instant, she took a deep breath and stood up. She said, “Grandpa, you should know more than me how troublesome this problem is. Sinc
In actuality, Senior Zimmer was unwilling to allow Mandy to be in charge of the company’s finances. Doing so meant she would enjoy a powerful status among the Zimmers, to the extent she would influence Zack’s position in the family. Yet at this moment, it seemed like they had run out of options. Should Mandy refuse to take the initiative and resolve this mess, the Zimmers would teeter on the edge of bankruptcy. “Grandpa, don’t trust her! How could she possibly solve a problem this huge? York Enterprise even issued a legal letter to us! I’m afraid she might have conspired with York Enterprise beforehand. She just wants to use this opportunity to lie to us and gain an upper hand among the Zimmers!” Zack was anxious. Before, he badly wanted to pin the blame on Mandy and make her take responsibility for the entire mess. Now, he was afraid if Senior Zimmer would truly agree to Mandy’s request. If ever Mandy was given the privilege to manage the finances, it would be extremely diffi
“Mandy will definitely be screwed this time around. How could she possibly pacify York Enterprise with her meagre skills? I’ve inquired about it before. The new CEO of York Enterprise is quite mysterious and keeps a low profile. No one’s ever seen him.”Quinn remarked coldly. After the family meeting ended, everyone dispersed. She and Zack had left together.“Normally, Mandy wouldn't be able to. The problem is, she was able to solve the investment problems before. I fear something unexpected might happen.” Zack couldn’t help but worry. “If we let her manage the company finances, we’ll suffer terribly in the future.” “What’s there to worry about? Unless she sleeps with the CEO of York Enterprise, it’ll never happen. Look at her! Her husband’s such a worthless piece of trash.” Quinn said viciously. “Why would that rich man be willing to do such a thing? Even touching her would be unfortunate!” She was on the same side as Zack. If Mandy was in power, she would suffer as well. “I h
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
