“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
Zack Zimmer snorted. “Harvey York, how good are you at boasting, before this you boasted how you’re actually the CEO of the York’s Enterprise, and now you’re saying us Zimmers are not even qualified to reserve the spot you’re taking? Who do you think you are? If you’re that incredible how are you still just a live-in son-in-law in the Zimmers family?”“Whether I’m incredible or not how does that matter with you? How does it matter with you wherever I choose to have dinner? Mind your own business.”Zack replied coldly, “I’m the vice CEO of the Zimmers family business, can I not interfere when someone is trying to use our money to pick up girls?”Seeing how Harvey was verbally attacked so many times, she suggested, “Harvey, why don’t we eat somewhere else?”“There’s no need for that, we’re eating here.” Harvey decided to not entertain Zack’s nonsense any longer and led Ella Graves to the lift.“Okay, I’m going to see what kind of ‘good’ spot you’re taking then!” Zack retorted immedi
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
Ghostface instantly slammed to the ground. He got on his knees and coughed out a mouthful of blood after a long time, and only then did he stand up with a dark expression."Gah!"When he stood up, blood was trickling from the edge of his lips. His chest was heaving visibly, and he was in a terrible state. He was critically wounded by one hit, and that alone could tell just how powerful Harvey was.Meanwhile, Harvey could not be bothered to waste his breath with Ghostface anymore. He instantly jumped out and slammed his fist once again.Whoosh!Suddenly, a few ninjas appeared from their surroundings. It was obvious they saw Ghostface was at a disadvantage. But they were kicked away by Harvey when they had just gotten close. The ninjas from the Island Nations meant nothing when faced with Harvey when he was being serious."Quick! Use the Martial Arts Weapons!" Ghostface's expression darkened once more when he saw Harvey was unstoppable and yelled out to his subordinates. Ghostface
A sharp, piercing pain immediately filled Harvey's entire being as he felt a huge needle had stabbed into his left arm. While there was no actual injury, the pain was excruciating. But the pain was not physical, it was from deep within his soul.When Ghostface saw Harvey's expression, he widened his eyes as he once again spat more fresh blood from the tip of his tongue on the doll, and the doll convulsed even harder. After that, Ghostface could only let out a cold laugh as he once again picked up the needle and this time, pinned it on the doll's chest.A shapeless pain began to spread in Harvey's being, and this time, it was heading straight to his chest.Harvey's expression changed again. Just what kind of a curse was this? How could it have had such an effect? As the needle went deeper, Harvey could start to sense the pain in his chest. He suspected that when the needle completely went into the doll, his heart would burst open.At that moment, even Harvey had to sign in admiratio
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
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,
