“You must not keep this kind of man with you. Daughter, as long as you divorce him, I’ll find a good and obedient son-in-law who is so much better than him!”“Besides, he might have gotten some kind of strange disease. What if you get it from him? It’s so frightening!” Lilian Yates patted her chest ceaselessly, and she appeared quite frightened as she thought about that. If there was indeed such a scandal, Senior Zimmer would certainly disown their entire family and kick them out of the Zimmers. “Try to think about it. Zack Zimmer is now worried about not having the chance to bring you down! If ever he knows of this incident, he’ll certainly have another excuse to find faults with you!“It’s not easy for you to gain such a status in the Zimmers now. You can’t ruin your future just because of a man who’s just a worthless piece of trash!”“Mom, stop talking!” Mandy Zimmer was quite vexed at that moment. At one point, she thought about how Ella Graves looked at Harvey York. At a
In the study, Harvey York slept on the floor. He was filled with helplessness. He could understand Mandy Zimmer’s feelings. If it was him, he might not be so calm either.Besides, his unreliable mother-in-law might have made things worse secretly, exaggerating the facts. That incident would definitely be much more troublesome now. ***The next day during breakfast time, Harvey prepared breakfast early in the morning since he wanted to please Mandy. But Mandy did not even eat the breakfast he prepared. She just tore off the divorce agreement in front of him. Harvey frowned and said nothing since he knew that it would not be over so easily. As expected, Mandy said coldly, “I can forget about the divorce for the time being. But you need to promise me one thing.” “What is it? I’ll promise you.” Harvey said swiftly. “You didn’t even ask me what it is. But you promised me so soon. Aren’t you afraid that I may ask you to go and do some illegal things?” Mandy was slightly touch
Just when Lilian Yates plotted against Harvey York to let him borrow another eight hundred thousand dollars for her to spend, a great incident happened in Niumhi airport. There were not many flights in Niumhi Airport, and most of them were from the province. At that moment, a charming man in a slim suit with his hair combed in a slick manner, was standing at the arrival gate. He put his hands behind his back. Besides, he did not play with his phone. He just held a bouquet of roses with his hands behind his back. He looked cold. A lot of young girls who passed by him could not help but brighten their eyes when they saw him. Nowadays, it was too rare to see a man not playing with his phone while waiting for someone at the arrival gate. That posture alone could bewitch a lot of young ladies. After a short while, there were some people walking out of the arrival gate at last. There were eight bodyguards in black suits who walked at the front of the group, clearing the way. A
At the Zimmer Villa. Harvey York went to the bank specially just to retrieve eight hundred thousand dollars in cash. When he threw the plastic bag with the cash on the coffee table, Lilian Yates’ eyes became bloodshot. At that moment, she did not even bother about the fact that Harvey was right there beside her. She soon started to flip through the blue stacks of banknotes. After she ensured that the banknotes were real, she could not even suppress her smile. “What about your personal declaration? Didn’t you claim that you will endure the debt all by yourself?” Lilian looked up and said to him condescendingly. Harvey took out a document which was prepared beforehand. Not only did he sign the document, there was even the signature of a lawyer too. It outlined that the 1.6 million dollars were Harvey’s personal debt, and it had nothing to do with Mandy Zimmer. Lilian looked at the document carefully for a short while. She then made a few calls to inquire about that from a few
After having many changes in her facial expression, Lilian Yates stood up all of a sudden. She then pointed at Harvey York and said, “Worthless trash, don’t think that this incident is over now that you get to borrow eight hundred thousand dollars. Let me tell you. You should at least go and borrow another eight hundred thousand dollars. No, you need to get 1.6 million dollars! Besides, you need to endure the debt all by yourself!” “Sure, no problem. But we may need to wait for a few more years. I just borrowed 1.6 million dollars from my friend. It’s impossible that he’ll lend me money ceaselessly, right?” Harvey said in a carefree manner.“You…” Lilian’s facial expression changed again. The next moment, she said, “You’re the live-in son-in-law in the Zimmers, and you’ve got a job now. You need to give me the pay card, and I’ll manage your monthly salary!” “Mom, if you really need that, I can give you my pay card.” Harvey smiled. Everything went just according to his plan. In t
At first, Zack Zimmer was about to remain calm. But now, he could not hold himself back anymore. He glared at Harvey York and said angrily, “F*ck you! Harvey, how shameless you are? How could you even be the CEO of York Enterprise! Aren’t you afraid that they’ll come looking for you directly if this incident is spread out?” Everyone could not believe that at all. How could Harvey be the CEO of York Enterprise given what a worthless sack of trash he was? Previously, Harvey claimed that he was the CEO shamelessly when Don Xander proposed to Mandy Zimmer. But what about the result? The truth proved that he was nothing but a preposterous joke.Now he mentioned that again. He was entirely shameless. Standing beside them, Mandy could not bear to see that anymore. She took a step forward and said softly, “Grandpa, Harvey might have used his boss’ member card…”“Is that the one who let him drive the Porsche?” Senior Zimmer nodded slightly. He believed that explanation. A luxury car
“Remember this. This is the only time, and it’s not to be repeated!” Senior Zimmer’s eyes seemed dull and ferocious. “Don’t think that you’ll have the right to act arrogantly since Mandy is now managing the company’s finances, and she’s also the project manager. Don’t even think that you can rely on her and disrespect me.”“If I’m willing, I can snatch away all of her post and power. You won’t even have the right to act smug and arrogant anymore. It’s just a matter of words!” “I hope that you can fulfill what you said.” After saying that, Harvey York left. Senior Zimmer’s threat was indeed quite weak, and it was extremely ridiculous. Mandy Zimmer’s identity as the project manager now was closely related to the Zimmers’ future and survival. Previously, Senior Zimmer could even endure that even when Mandy wanted to be the finance manager. Now how would he be so daring as to put the Zimmers’ future and destiny at risk because of such a trivial affair?He would not do so, and h
“Eh? What kind of way?” Senior Zimmer took a glance at Zack Zimmer curiously. That grandson of his always had insight but low ability. What kind of alternative could he have? Was it some kind of bad idea again? “Grandpa, the reason that the live-in son-in-law is so arrogant is because you’re too soft-hearted. Besides, you didn’t suppress Mandy Zimmer’s power and dominance entirely.”“I know that Mandy has helped us Zimmers tremendously. Moreover, she’s your granddaughter, so you don’t want to act so cruel. After all, you can’t give either side up since both sides are important to you. But it won’t do if it continues like this.” Zack said with a deep voice, “Let me be the villain then.” Hearing that, Senior Zimmer frowned. ‘Do you want me to let you be the villain?’ “Could it be that you want me to give you the post as the CEO?” Senior Zimmer said with a deep voice. “Grandpa, as long as I become the CEO, I’ll be able to suppress Mandy properly given my status!”“Besides, do
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,
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
