After seeing Jerry Zabel’s membership card, the assistant manager immediately bowed to him respectfully. This was Niumhi Grand Hotel’s rule, which was ‘customers always come first’.After that, she looked at Harvey York coldly and said, “Gentleman, if you aren’t a member of this hotel, you can’t use our services here. Our parking spaces are for customers, outsiders are not allowed to park their vehicles arbitrarily. Now, you need to compensate for the damage to our customer’s car due to your random parking.”Jerry stared at Harvey arrogantly seeing the assistant manager siding with him. He then said, “Didn’t you hear her? Bumpkin, quickly compensate for my damage. Otherwise, I will call the police!”Harvey frowned. He did not expect Niumhi Grand Hotel to have such rules. However, he still said solemnly, “Assistant manager, although I didn't apply for your hotel’s membership card, I have already asked my secretary to book a place. Can’t I park here then?”He was here to treat Ella G
“This…” Shirley Ryan hesitated.She had never had a boyfriend since she grew up. Even if she came out today, it was because Jerry Zabel kept coming for her. He even used his connections and threatened her using her family. Only then she reluctantly agreed to come out for a meal.Feelings did not make any sense and it was very unreasonable. No feelings meant no feelings. If she had feelings for Jerry, she would have agreed to be his girlfriend when she was in college.However, at this moment, Jerry was using Harvey York’s affairs to threaten her, but she was somewhat embarrassed.She had a very good relationship with Harvey while they were in college. There was even something going on between them at one time. Nonetheless, Harvey became the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family after he graduated. The two of them completely lost contact.However, having her to watch Harvey crawling out of this place on his knees…Just when Shirley was still hesitating, Harvey became a little ang
Meanwhile, at the parking lot, Jerry Zabel could not help but smile when he saw Harvey York’s phone. He then laughed and said, “Oh my gosh, Harvey. You even use the old-model phone which includes a three-year calling credit for fifteen dollars. You are truly amazing!”He then glanced at Shirley Ryan and said indifferently, “Shirley, can’t you see it at this point? He’s a poor and useless guy. Why do you keep helping him? Do you think that he will be grateful? I know that something was going on between you two back then, but look at him, he’s nothing now. He isn’t even qualified to stand in front of me. Could it be that you are still thinking about his kindness and refuse to be my girlfriend?”Sure enough, Jerry was also not stupid. He knew that it was Harvey who had spoilt his plan when he tried to pursue Shirley back then. He certainly wanted to humiliate Harvey wantonly since he had the opportunity today.Not only he could vent out his anger, but he could also let Shirley’s good i
Willa White, the chief manager of Niumhi Grand Hotel was considered as a very powerful person in Niumhi. The people he met were all high-ranking nobles and he was respected by countless people due to his high position.In Niumhi, some chiefs of the second-class and third-class families did not even dare to take a breather before him.However, Willa knew very well that he had no foundation in Niumhi. He was just a dog being pushed outside by some top families.The largest family among those families were the Yorks.In South Light, York Enterprise represented the Yorks.The CEO of York Enterprise appeared in Niumhi Grand Hotel which was under his charge. How could he not panic? Moreover, judging from Yvonne Xavier’s tone, the CEO might be in a bad mood now.The assistant manager was about to continue taunting Harvey York. However, at this time, she saw all the security guards around her were in shock while looking behind her.She unconsciously turned her head back. The next moment
Jerry Zabel’s expression was dull. Things were happening too fast and he could not understand what was going on due to his low IQ.After a while, he flew into a fury and said, “Why should I pay him? I’m also your member. I have paid seven thousand six hundred dollars for signing up the membership card!”“Didn’t you claim that only members can become diners in Niumhi Grand Hotel? Why can he come in and dine even if he’s just a useless man riding in an electric bike?”Willa White said indifferently, “It was because the reservation for Mr. York is made by our top customer of Niumhi Grand Hotel. To put it simply, the annual fee for signing up for this membership card is about eight hundred thousand dollars. So, do you understand the difference now?”Jerry’s face instantly turned pallid. He reluctantly applied for the entry-level membership card of seven thousand six hundred dollars. What was the concept of eight hundred thousand dollars then? His entire fortune did not even worth that
Ella Graves, who was on the side was puzzled and said before Harvey York spoke. “Harvey, didn’t she ask the security guards to hit you just now? She even asked you to compensate for your senior’s damages and refused to help check our reservation. Why would Mr. White still give her a promotion?”Ella was very curious. Could it be that this is how Niumhi Grand Hotel operated?Willa White, who was beside Harvey, had a sinking feeling in his heart although he was still smiling. He almost vomited blood. He was a smart man, and he probably knew what was going on.The assistant manager probably looked down on him and did not help him check the reservation. She also helped that other guy to deal with Harvey just now. It was outrageous. She was playing with fire.At this moment, Willa broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Harvey was unharmed and well. He showed up at the right time. Otherwise, he would be finished this time.He looked at the assistant manager coldly as soon as he thought
The revolving restaurant on the top floor of Niumhi Grand Hotel was also the location of the western restaurant. Those who wanted to make a reservation had to sign up for the membership card. It generally required a week in advance to make a reservation.The elevator was the exclusive access to the top floor and this was also the first time Harvey York was here.Meanwhile, Harvey had asked Willa White to leave and not disturb them. Ella Graves went to the washroom to fix her makeup. Harvey was a bit bored standing in front of the elevator.At this moment, a figure in a suit suddenly stopped in front of Harvey. After he looked Harvey up and down for a while, he frowned and asked, “Harvey, why are you here?”Harvey frowned. It was Zack Zimmer standing in front of him, and a woman with a ‘plastic’ face next to him.Harvey was a little speechless. ‘I just came here to have a meal. Why do I always meet with these troublesome guys?’Harvey just wanted to ignore him at this moment. Howe
Seeing how everyone’s reaction changed, Zack Zimmer felt pleased with himself.He still had not recovered from his anger associated with the failure in courting Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorell a few days ago.How lucky must he have been to meet Ella Graves – a goddess with the curviest body and prepossessing face like that, of course he would not let go of this opportunity!Ella finally lifted her head up and stared at Zack asking, “Anything?”Zack pointed to the VIP lift not far away from them and said, “Miss Pretty, I’m having dinner in the Western restaurant at the top floor, plus I’ve booked the best seat, may I invite you for dinner?”Without even waiting for Ella’s reply, the plastic face had already hurriedly rushed to Zack’s side. “Mr Zimmer, I don’t mind turning a blind eye to you going around and hooking up with random girls, but you specifically invited me out for dinner tonight and now you’re ditching me? What kind of girl do you think I am?”Zack turned around and gla
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
