Were they seeing things or dreaming?Why was Tyson Woods—the business mogul so respectful to this useless live-in son-in-law at this moment? His attitude was as if he was seeing his father.How was this useless b*stard capable of that?Many people could not help pinching themselves. They must be dreaming! It had to be that!Mandy was also stunned. Her worry from the beginning had turned into a complete shock. How could this happen?Tyson did not care about the attitude of the people in the Zimmer family at all. At this moment, he had done it all except getting down on his knees. He then whispered, “I didn’t know that it was you. I would have never come if I know it’s you. Please… don’t get angry…”“Enough.” Harvey frowned and said coldly, “After so many years, you still have to come forward for this little mess. How have you fallen so low?”“It’s because this b*stard did help me to invest in some stocks…” Tyson did not dare to hide it from Harvey.Harvey shook his head and said
Tyson slapped Don on the face and said coldly, “Don’t you know why I ordered them to hit you? Don’t you know who Harvey is? How dare you offend him?”“He… isn't he the useless live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family?”At this moment, Don regretted it so much that he was about to vomit blood. The person he called had beaten him up like this, and it was because of this b*stard—Harvey. He did not understand!“Live-in son-in-law?” Tyson sneered. Just when he was about to disclose Harvey’s identity, he happened to see Harvey casually glancing at him.He subconsciously shuddered and cursed. “I’m asking you, have you gone bankrupt? Then does it mean that the five million that I had given you are gone?”The Zimmer family did not dare to persuade him. At this moment, all of them were shocked, especially Senior Zimmer. His expression slightly changed when they heard Tyson’s words.He subconsciously took a few steps forward and said, “Brother Tyson…did you just say that Mr. Xander has gone
“Mr. Xander, can you please explain? I have just asked someone to check it. Your cheque couldn’t be cashed.”At this moment, Senior Zimmer hung up the phone and walked out. He waved his hand and smashed the cheque onto Don’s face coldly.He initially thought that he had already obtained the working capital which was about ten million dollars. Unexpectedly, Tyson’s words awakened him just now. He quickly asked someone to inquire about it. Only then, he knew about the truth.Senior Zimmer hated Don so much right now because he cared about his face the most in his life. His choice—Don had gone bust and was a useless person. How could he face those people…Don wiped the blood on his face and smiled reluctantly, “Senior Zimmer, don’t you forget, I’m still working at York Enterprise. Even if I have gone bankrupt, I could still rise again any minute…”Senior Zimmer unconsciously frowned as soon as he said this. Don was threatening him!The Yorks—the top family in South Light, was the on
Lilian nodded. She then rushed to Harvey and scolded him, “Have you heard it? Hurry up and be the hostage. It’s useless if such trash like you don’t be a hostage. You have been in the Zimmer family for three years now and we have given you food and treated you kindly. Now you’re taking us down with you. If you still refuse to be the hostage, I won’t let you go!”Harvey looked cold, but when he saw Mandy’s pale face, his heart softened. Who asked him to fall in love with her hopelessly?“Okay!” He took a deep breath and ignored Lilian. He walked toward Don and said lightly, “Don, I’ll be your hostage, let my wife go.”Mandy was shocked. She looked at Harvey incredulously and said, “No, don’t come over…”“Don’t worry, you’re my wife, and I will protect you.” Harvey smiled gently and walked to Don. He let Don hold the knife to his throat. “Now, you can let her go, right?”Mandy felt her eyes watered a little. Although this man might not have great wealth and power and was useless, he
“Why?” Don was about to go crazy. He got a call tonight and was inexplicably told that he had gone bankrupt. He also wanted to know why.Harvey smiled and took out his cell phone to redial a number. Yvonne had already sent him her phone number just now.The phone was quickly connected, and Yvonne’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “President, I have already dismissed Don Xander following your instructions. At the same time, I have also let the lawyers follow up on the company’s project funds that he has embezzled.”“Miss…Miss Xavier…” Don was startled when he heard the familiar voice. At this moment, he felt a sense of dizziness that started to blur his vision.The knife in his hand fell on the ground. He muttered, “How is it possible? How can a useless person like you be the new president? This is impossible! It’s impossible!”“Impossible! The younger generations of the Yorks were all well-known. You can’t be…” Don kept shaking his head. He was about to go crazy at thi
“I’m afraid it’s not that easy…” Sean frowned slightly. If that were so easy, they would not have such thoughts about Don then.Senior Zimmer slammed the table lightly. He then said, “If anybody can get this amount of funds, then he or she will be the manager of the project of establishing the shopping center!” The project of the shopping center was considered the biggest and most important project of the Zimmers now. If one could be appointed as the manager of that project, he or she might take over the Zimmers and become the head of the Zimmers. The minute Senior Zimmer said that, a lot of people looked strange. But, it was too tricky if everyone wanted to get in touch with the York Enterprise.“Grandpa.” Zack stood up all of a sudden. “Recently, I got to know a beauty from the York Enterprise, and she’s the manager there. She seems like the one who’s having a rather privileged status in the company, and the others will listen to her. Why don’t I go and ask her out to talk
“Yes, he’s just one of my acquaintances. I don’t know why he called me all of a sudden.” Wendy covered the phone with her hand and said cautiously. Harvey smiled slightly. “Ask him to get lost.” “Alright!” Wendy held the phone and walked out of the office. She then shouted coldly, “Our CEO asked you to get lost!” After that, she hung up the phone directly. ‘Zack is really an absolute fool!’ ***At the other end of the phone, Zack was smug at first. Now, he became stunned all of a sudden. After a short while, he almost jumped up. “D*mn! She’s just a mere manager! How could she act so arrogantly in front of me! Who the hell does she think she is? How could she ask me to get lost? How could she look down on our Zimmers like this!” The Zimmers looked at each other in resignation. ‘Didn’t Zack hear that clearly just now?’ ‘She claimed that it was her CEO who asked you to get lost.’ “Grandpa, the York Enterprise is way over the line!” Zack gritted his teeth. “How could they be
Senior Zimmer was deep in thought. He then nodded. Since he adored Zack the most in his generation, he soon turned to look at Mandy when he heard that. He then said, “Mandy, just go ahead. You don’t have to choose the time too. There’s no time like the present. Just go and negotiate a business deal with York Enterprise tomorrow. You must succeed. I won’t allow any failures!” “Grandpa, I think that…” Mandy appeared upset. York Enterprise just scolded them. Now they want to go and negotiate a deal with that particular enterprise the next day. Would it not be like they were asking for humiliation themselves?Senior Zimmer did not allow her the chance to speak more. He then said coldly, “It’s decided now. You just need to fulfill the mission, not to look for excuses!” After that, all of the Zimmers present lowered their heads and stood up. They felt lucky. That was indeed an unfortunate task. The person who was chosen to do that was indeed unfortunate. When they reached home, Lilia
Durandal and his men froze when they saw what happened, and their expressions darkened. While that long-haired man was frivolous, he was also a martial arts master.Before they could even react, Harvey had already snapped off the man's finger and fed it to the dog. That action was enough to stop Durandal and the others in their tracks, and even managed to silence the angry crowd.No one expected a man called a pretty face to be so brutal and decisive. At that moment, the men from Parkerville could feel the coldness radiating from Harvey. They couldn't stop the fear spreading in their heart."Darn it! How dare you hurt him?!""Do you have a death wish?""We're going to destroy your underground arena!"Everyone from Parkerville was filled with fury, wanting to retaliate. However, Harvey's calm expression was enough to scare them into silence. Durandal, the only person who knew Harvey's real identity, raised his hand to stop them. Then, he shot Harvey a cold look."What is the
"I believe someone outside the ring informed the young boxer. In short, this is no longer a one-versus-one battle! This is two versus one… No, perhaps even more! This isn't fair!"And then, Durandal raised his arm and shouted, "Tell me, friends! Is it against the rule for someone to use a high-tech method to instruct the young fighter in the middle of the match? Should they pay for all our losses?"While no one knew how Durandal could be so sure there was cheating involved, many saw that there was a chance for them to recover their losses. They knew who to support. All of them stood up and started yelling."Cheating! You're cheating!""Pay us! Pay us back!"Durandal continued to raise his arm. "We've already won this battle! However, the underground boxing ring was unable to accept their loss! Other than making them admit it, shouldn't we ask them to pay three times the money?!"All the spectators were excited and chorused brainlessly, "Three times! Three times!"They didn't car
As the Boxing Champion coughed out a mouthful of blood, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The blood vessels in his body began to bulge and explode, and blood began to flow out from his body. It was quite terrifying to watch, but from his bloodshot eyes, he seemed to have recovered some sort of clarity.He glared at the young fighter in front of him and collapsed on the ring, his eyes filled with disbelief."Ha… Didn't even break a sweat." The young fighter raised his hand, disdain on his face. His expression was calm, but everyone could see his arrogance."How is that possible?!" At that moment, there was only silence. No one expected the situation would change so quickly. The Boxing Champion had been defeated so quickly, many weren't sure what had happened. This had surpassed everyone's understanding.No matter if the audience was furious or in disbelief, the Boxing Champion had already fallen and the young fighter stood in the middle of the ring with a calm express
Everyone was still filled with mixed expressions as both sides clashed. To the Boxing Champion, he had already won countless fights. There was no need for him to be afraid of a young man.Meanwhile, the young fighter had great confidence. Nothing could shake him.The moment both sides clashed, dust and dirt burst from the floor. Everyone was shocked by their murderous intent.Their fists met. At that instant, they fought in the most brutal and primal way. They kept crashing into each other as they battled. The muted sounds of their attacks could be heard from outside the ring. The ring, though made of solid wood, began to crack open from the impact of their attacks. Everyone watched with bated breath, excitement etched on their faces. No one expected that the young man who looked like he was going to get beaten down in one punch would have so much endurance.It was way too thrilling! Too exciting!The two moved faster and faster. Very quickly, normal people couldn't even see h
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
