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
It was evening in Zimmer Villa. The Zimmers gathered around again. A lot of them looked at each other helplessly. A while back, they received the news. So they did not even have their meals when they rushed home for the meeting. At last, they heard that not only did the York Enterprise agree to invest in them, the York Enterprise even increased the amount of investment funds out of their own initiative. They knew very well how the York Enterprise reacted the night before. Almost everyone heard that clearly. They assumed that the task was impossible, but it was accomplished by Mandy now. Why? Mandy was the daughter of the third son in the Zimmers. She was usually not favored. Besides, her company had suffered a significant loss. The Zimmers would soon disown her. However, it turned out that she got the contract now. What if she was being favored then? Would Mandy finally have her moment now?Zack was the one who found it the hardest to believe what had happened. If Mandy was
At that moment, Senior Zimmer, who was seated on the seat of honor, had finished reading the contract. He even took out the magnifying glass and looked closely at the seal. After a short while, he said, “Don’t argue anymore. This contract is real indeed. However, what Zack said is right. This contract seems not to be drafted up at the last minute. It seems like it was drafted up yesterday.”“Certainly, Mandy has her own credits since she went there in the first place. But Zack was willing to endure the humiliation for Zimmers yesterday. His contribution is much more significant.” Hearing that, Zack took a glance at Mandy arrogantly. He then bowed toward Senior Zimmer and said, “Grandpa, as one of the Zimmers, I’ll definitely be quite willing to undergo various ordeals for the Zimmers. So what if I’m being humiliated? If I need to be beaten up just so that the Zimmers could earn money, I’m more than willing to do so!”“Grandpa, I think that this new CEO is aware of the value of Zimm
At first, Yvonne was sending Harvey home in her Bentley. But there was a traffic jam on the way. Hence, Harvey took his electric bike out of the trunk to ride home. But his electric bike broke down, and he fell into the drain. Now he was quite pathetic and awkward. Harvey was about to take a bath and have a change of clothes. But Cecilia had seen him. She laughed coldly and said, “The person appeared as soon as we talked about him. Here comes the good-for-nothing! Harvey, did you fall into the toilet? You stink!” Harvey did not want to be bothered by her. He put the big plastic bag in his hand at the corner of the living room and was going to take a bath. “Harvey, how bold of you to come home? Do you think that it’s a hotel here? Do you think that you can come and leave at your own wishes?” At that moment, Lilian heard the noise. When she came out, her facial expression was unpleasant. ‘If it’s not because of this good-for-nothing, how could Mandy’s significant contribution b
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
