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
After listening to Edwin Mendoza, Harvey York nodded lightly before looking at his documents again.“So, what’s up with this Joseph Bauer guy?”After scrolling through the phone for a moment, Edwin then softly replied, “Joseph Bauer is the thirteenth descendant of the Bauer family, one of the top ten families of Country H. Everyone calls him the Thirteenth Young Master Bauer.“It’s also said that he’s one of the top candidates to become the head of his family.“There are two other candidates besides him, the eldest young master, Jeff Bauer, and the seventh young master, Harold Bauer.”Harvey frowned.“That’s it?”“Of course not. Throughout history, the head of the Bauer family always assumed another identity, the master of Longmen,” replied Edwin.“It’s the same for this generation as well.“Simply put, no matter who rises to power, other than becoming the head of the family, they’ll also be sitting on the Longmen’s throne.“That’s why these young masters had constantly been
