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
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
