The thirteenth young master squinted at Mandy before saying, “Ms. Zimmer, I don’t have a problem with your business plan.”“However, I still think we should change our share of earnings. For example, I’ll take seventy percent, and you take thirty.”“Of course…”“We can’t keep beating by the bush.”“If you’re free in these two days, come with me to Flutwell.”“You’ll realize just how blessed you are to be working with the Bauer family.”“If you stick with us, your position within the Jean family will be solidified.”“After all, out of the top ten families of Country H, the Jean family is at the bottom of the barrel. They can’t even compare to our family!”“Of course, if you consider my other suggestion, I’ll be happy to compromise as well.”“In this world, a marriage is no doubt more secure than a mere contract.”“And I, Joseph Bauer, am very sincere when it comes to my feelings toward you.”“It’s best if you think hard about it. After all, you’re the first woman I’ve ever co
Mandy calmly raised the contract in her hand.“I appreciate the invitation, Young Master Bauer,” she began calmly.“But I don’t think there’s a point for the visit before we complete the deal.”“If it’s no good for our collaboration, why not just consider it as a little vacation?” Joseph suggested.“Right. I forgot to tell you something. I invited Auntie Yates to come as well. Of course, she gladly accepted my invitation…”“Hopefully you’ll join us too.”“After all, you can’t just leave your dear mother running around an unfamiliar place thousands of miles away, right?”Mandy’s face darkened instantly.At this point, she had no idea how to deal with Joseph.Because of what happened in Las Vegas, she hadn’t been in touch with Harvey for half a year.On the other hand, Lilian kept pestering her relentlessly to divorce Harvey. Mandy was extremely torn because of it.Joseph revealed a faint smile upon noticing Mandy’s unhappy look.“Right. I won’t take up any more of your time.
Mandy frowned instantly.“Then I’ll remind you of this again, Mother. All that money belongs to the ninth branch. I have no control over it,” she said gloomily.“I only have a few hundred thousand dollars left, and I’ve given them all to you.”Lilian scoffed coldly. “I can’t be bothered with you! If I don’t get at least a hundred and fifty million dollars as pocket money, I’ll come back for you! You hear me?!”“Don’t think you can hide from me! I’m only leaving you alone since I’m in such a good mood…”Lilian then pulled out a Snow White Hermes bag. She appeared extremely fond of it, too.A Snow White Hermes bag could only be bought with thousands of dollars, but Lilian managed to have one with her. The fact shocked Mandy.“Where did you get that bag, Mother?”“Where? I bought it myself, of course!”Lilian scoffed again.“You’re not going to say you bought it for me now, are you?”“You wouldn’t buy something like this for me, anyway!”“Let me tell you something! If it wer
Seeing her mother getting so worked up filled Mandy with misery.She hadn’t talked to Harvey for half a year. She still remembered the things that happened in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Mandy didn’t want to believe that Harvey really tried to kill her mother.But the bloodshed kept playing in her head, as if it happened just yesterday.Her logic told her that if Harvey wanted to kill Lilian, he would’ve done it cleanly.But she couldn’t forget what she saw with her own two eyes.Mandy sighed, no longer dwelling on it.“Can we not talk about this, Mother?”After seeing her daughter’s miserable expression, Lilian grinned in delight. She seemed to have realized what was going through Mandy’s head.“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about that b*stard for now.”“Right! Young Master Bauer invited me for a meal at the newly-opened Pothole Hotel in the city center. He told me we’re his first customers.”“Why don’t you come with me?”Mandy shook her head.“I can’t. I have a few
Right when Xynthia was about to reason with Lilian, the driver turned on the car’s privacy windows. His expression was horrible.“CEO Zimmer, Madam. A few cars have been following us for a while…”“I’ve already gone through a few different routes, but they’ve been constantly trailing us…”“I’m afraid they’re coming after us!”Mandy froze before glancing at the rear-view mirror.Just as the driver had said, a few cars with Country H license plates were steadily trailing behind.The cars were all black. Along with their prominent-looking license plates, the convoy seemed extremely grand.However, the convoy scattered instantly after realizing that their cover was blown. They came from all sides, completely surrounding the Zimmer family’s convoy.One of the cars went forward to block the road, while the other two slowly closed in on Mandy’s car.Mandy’s expression changed. She didn’t think someone would even dare cause trouble to the Jean family in Mordu.But after pondering abo
After seeing Mandy’s driver acting so ruthless, several blondes clad in suits jumped out of the car that had been knocked to the side.They seemed a little sluggish, but then, they started shooting at Mandy’s car.Bang, bang, bang!After a barrage of bullets, the tire on the back was blown off.In an instant, the car swerved along the road, crashing into everything in front of it.The driver’s face had lost all color as he desperately tried to control the steering wheel, trying to make sure the car wouldn’t flip on its side.Lilian was so scared that her eyes had already turned white; she was on the verge of passing out.Xynthia was slightly calmer, but she was still extremely terrified.She had experienced quite a lot, but it was her first time getting chased down on a street.Mandy, however, had grown exponentially; she remained calm and exclaimed, “Get the people from the back to support us!”“Lock the car doors!”“Call the police!”The driver nodded. It was quite embarr
“Is he a King of Arms? A God of War, maybe?!”The leading knight of the Round Table changed his expression frantically after seeing his men drop dead one after another.He swiftly threw away his cigar before slashing his way forward.He unleashed the same Holy Cross Slash, but it was way stronger compared to the ordinary Knights Templars’ slash.Clang!The unknown man swung his sword, snapping the knight’s sword in half in an instant.Pfffft!While the knight was stung with disbelief, the man thrust forward and jabbed his sword into the knight’s throat.A horrified gurgle could be heard from the knight.His identity in The Empire was quite immense. He had been undefeated for most of his life, but now, he was killed in an instant without any remorse…Filled with resentment and disbelief, the knight fell to the ground paralyzed.Xynthia quietly looked through the gaps of her fingers while covering her face. She had been doing quite well within Mordu’s entertainment industry, s
“Good boy! What a good boy!”Lilian Yates seemed quite happy while sizing up Joseph Bauer. After thinking of the luxurious gift that Joseph gave previously, Lilian was more and more satisfied with her future son-in-law.She immediately pulled Mandy Zimmer out of the car.“To show you our appreciation, I’ve decided to go to Flutwell with you and my daughter.”“Of course. I’ll look forward to it…”Joseph’s eyes lit up instantly. After getting word that the Knights of the Round Table were planning to assassinate Mandy, he came here as quickly as possible.As he expected, this was an opportunity.“Come! Protect CEO Zimmer and her family!“From now on, they’re important guests of mine!“Whoever tries to lay a finger on my important guests will die without their bodies intact!”Mandy did not even have the strength left to let out a sigh. She wanted to decline Joseph’s so-called invitation, but she could not even utter a single word at that moment.After all, Joseph did bring his m
"You…" Royce gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap Harvey. However, he knew that Harvey did this intentionally to take revenge against them, giving him a so-called choice. Harvey did it to completely humiliate both him and Kyros.Harvey also wanted to use this matter to create a crack in the Wright of Wolsing and the Yates of Country A's relationship during their honeymoon period. The problem was, Royce didn't have a choice. If Harvey truly decided to do whatever he wanted, then both he and Kyros would be in deep trouble.Royce gritted his teeth for a long time before finally slowly bending his knee and said, "I'm sorry…"Harvey immediately raised his foot and kicked Royce to the floor. "I know you're not sincere in your apologies, but I'll still accept it with mercy. But remember—if you want to do something in the future, do it for me. If you do anything to the people close to me again, even your gods can't protect you."And then, Harvey grabbed Xynthia's hand and left. H
As the leader of the top ten families, the Wrights of Wolsing had their own duties and responsibilities. They needed to maintain the high and mighty image of the top families in the hearts of the commoners.Once this was fully exposed, perhaps the people from the precinct and Dragon Cell wouldn't take any action against the Wright family, but Emery might personally eliminate him in the name of justice to protect the family's reputation.Since Emery hadn't truly become the leader of the family yet, Sienna was still present to challenge him.If Harvey really decided to reveal this without a care, then Sienna would use this chance to make things worse for Emery. Especially during an inner struggle, a microscale change can sometimes cause a big enough change.Of course, the most important part of this was that Kyros worried this would really affect Emery's ascension. That was more important than Harvey's wanton actions.Even Royce's expression also became pale. It was true that he was
It was obvious Kyros had mastered the way to threaten someone using the people close to them. Or perhaps, it was easier to say that few people could escape the laws of what he had said. Few people could be an island in this world.In short, Kyros had never treated Harvey as someone he had to take seriously even in his subconscious. He was from the Wrights of Wolsing, the leading family of the top ten families.Blaine, Hector, Dan, and the other scions within their ranks might make it worth his time, but Harvey was definitely not one of them."Oh, you're offering me a lesson," Harvey chuckled as he heard his words."I'm not giving you a lesson. I'm simply telling you that there are rules in this world that you can't escape no matter what," Kyros said sincerely. "For example, it might make you feel good to hit my head until it's bleeding, but now that you've calmed down, don't you feel any regret about it? Didn't you feel lucky that I'm still alive? Otherwise, how do you think this w
"These two titles might be enough to scare countless others to submission," Kyros said with a smirk. He then lit up a long cigar and puffed out a smoke ring. "But to us Wrights of Wolsing, that's pointless…"Harvey calmly said, "So that won't work, then?"Kyros smirked. "For the time being, yes. Maybe you can show us some other things, see if they can scare me too…""I think this should be able to scare you." Harvey couldn't be bothered with continuing this conversation. He grabbed a glass ashtray and then slammed it on Kyros' head.There was a bang, and the ashtray shattered as blood sprayed.After what Harvey had done, the arrogant Kyros was instantly in a bad state. Blood was dripping from his forehead, making his face look brutal."What?!" Royce looked at Harvey in disbelief as his mouth opened wide, as if he didn't know how to react. Kyros' companions and his bodyguards were all similarly stunned. No one expected Harvey to attack when the negotiation went sideways.It wasn'
"If you ask me, I don't mind making concessions. If you can call one of the direct descendants from the Jean family to come over and offer an apology, I can consider this matter over. Otherwise, just the Jean family's reputation alone isn't enough. But even then, can the Ninth Branch ask any of them here?" Kyros' face was filled with contempt.It was true that being one of the top ten families was very impressive, but the difference in status between a direct descendent and a descendent from a branch family was quite wide. Someone from the ninth branch of the Jeans of Mordu wanted to force someone from the direct branch of the Wrights of Wolsing to back down?They must be joking.Xynthia wasn't sure what to say at this time, as she had run out of words.At this time, Harvey interjected calmly, "You know what's really going on when it comes to who's being right and wrong. Since Xynthia wants to settle this peacefully, I'm willing to take that route as well. But looking at how fo
Kyros' words carried a hint of laziness and brazenness. It was as if the entire Wolsing had already been crushed under the Wrights' heels. It was as if no one would doubt their strength.After he said that, the man called Raiden revealed a cruel smile and waved his hand. All the other men and women, clad in exotic outfits, moved out of the way, each with a gun in hand. They immediately locked down the entire restaurant. Some of them even calmly revealed their permits and showed them to everyone.In a place like Wolsing, it was almost impossible for someone to possess any firearm legitimately. That alone was enough to explain a lot of things."You're scared now, aren't you?" Royce said coldly as he dialed another number. Another group of security guards rushed in and immediately blocked all the exits. It was clear they weren't going to stop until someone was dead.This could explain a lot of things indeed.However, Harvey didn't think too much about this and simply smiled. Meanwh
When Royce saw the change in Xynthia's expression, he became even more pleased. He quickly explained everything that had just happened. Of course, he had changed certain details during his explanation, turning himself into an innocent victim. Meanwhile, Harvey and Xynthia became a despicable couple who did whatever they wanted."How shameless can you get, Royce?!" Xynthia couldn't help but yell when she heard how Royce changed the facts. "My mom did take your money, but I already promised that I'll give you back the money! But not only did you take away my phone, you didn't even let me leave. You're even going to force myself on you. Don't you think that what you're doing is especially shameless?"Royce's expression didn't even change as he said, "Shameless? It's true I have a thing for money and beautiful women, but I have my own rules. I never force anyone. Every woman that became mine did so out of their own volition. Everyone in Country A knows this!"Royce looked at Kyros and
Electric sparks surrounded the head of the war hammer, which exuded a charred stench. It was flying just like the legendary Mjolnir, a powerful aura surrounding it.Tyson's expression changed as he immediately moved and blocked in front of Harvey. He strikes at the hammer with both hands holding its hilt with all his might.Clang!There was a loud clang as the war hammer and sword struck each other. Tyson swayed for a moment, and blood trickled down from the edge of his lips.His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he had an epiphany. He once again stepped forward and pounced ahead, and the sword in his hand slashed downward.Bang!This time, there was a large bang—Tyson's attack struck the man's armor. The man shook, and he was blown away. He slammed into the restaurant's glass—it started to crack immediately, looking like a spiderweb, terrifying everyone who watched.At the same time, Harvey turned and looked at the man in the armor. His face was quite handsome, and the muscles
Harvey ignored the arrogant Royce and immediately took Xynthia's hand, attempting to turn and leave. Though he wanted to floor Royce and grind that scumbag's face against the floor, he decided to end everything here. Considering that Xynthia was still present, he was worried it might scare her.But when Royce saw Harvey taking Xynthia and heading to the exit, he thought Harvey was scared. He scoffed coldly and waved his hand; without wasting another breath, he ordered, "Get him!"The foreign bodyguards didn't even waste any more time and obeyed his command, roaring as they charged toward Harvey. Electric sparks appeared around them as their muscles turned green, and steel claws emerged from their fists. It was obvious now that they weren't normal people, but rather mutants from Country A.Many were stunned when they saw this scene and grew pale, and instinctively stepped backward to avoid them.The mutants hadn't even reached Harvey when Tyson, who had been standing aside quietly
