“Mandy Zimmer, that man is still your husband after all, you should remind him how to kneel properly before Zack Zimmer always… It’ll be so sad if both of you get kicked out of the house because of his attitude!” Quinn Zimmer advised Mandy with ‘kindness’.Mandy remained a blank face and said, “How does it matter with me whether he’s here or kneeling down?”“Woah, trying to strike a line between you and him already? Mandy, you weren’t like this before becoming the poor little manager. Who would’ve known that you’re starting to care about your reputation after a change of status? Or is it that you haven’t gotten used to how trashy your husband is after three whole years?” Zack sneered. “But don’t you even dream about getting a divorce, your marriage was set by our great grandfather when he was still alive, you’ll be up against the whole family of Zimmer if you go against his wish!”Zack has been thinking about it a lot those days, he won’t allow Mandy and Harvey York to get a divorce
The old man with the name of Charles Zarate, was the president of the Niumhi Antique Dealers’ Association, the young woman behind him was none other than Rosalie Naiswell while the young man was his student, Luis Zarate.Harvey York wasn’t surprised to see his arrival given how reputable he was in the antique industry, it’s only natural for him to attend this antique fair today. As a side note, his relationship with Shane Naiswell seemed to be very close.While the student Luis was obviously chasing after Rosalie as his sight never left her since the moment he entered the room.However, Rosalie’s facial expressions changed just slightly as she rested her gaze on Harvey. This immediately made Luis stunned and cautious.Rosalie was a true icy beauty who seemed to be cold to anyone she met, but her eyes soften up evidently when she’s face to face to this stranger who’s from god knows where.Even without introducing themselves to each other, Luis had already seen Harvey as his competi
Hearing those words, Harvey York squinted his eyes slightly, it seemed that Luis Zarate wasn’t trying to be friendly with him at all.With that thought in mind, Harvey turned his gaze toward Rosalie Naiswell for a while, what more troubles could she bring to himself with her good looks?Noticing Harvey’s stare, Rosalie’s icy expression softened up and was replaced with a smile as she winked at him mischievously.Harvey smiled back helplessly, not knowing what to do for the next step.Meanwhile, Luis who stood at the side clenched his fists taking in the scene, this douchebag from God knows where dared to flirt with the apple of his eye? It’s totally unacceptable!Charles Zarate noticed everything that had happened with the corner of his eyes and sighed mentally, his student had already lost to this young man just with his composure and act.But of course, Charles had to help Luis as a family member, so he glared at Luis and told him off, “What have I been teaching you all these t
Lying in the wooden box right now, was a standard steel antique watch, and it’s in fact none other than the infamous Rolex watch.This watch had obviously gone through the ravages of time, with the clock face slightly yellowish that turned into a pretty shade of vintage yellow, even though the shell seemed to have minor scratches due to years of wearing, it still looked pretty new in general.Luis Zarate immediately turned serious and he took out a magnifying glass and observed carefully, with no hint of arrogance from before left.In the meantime, Harvey York simply stood far from the watch and took a few glances of it without much change of facial expressions. He seemed to be more professional than Luis with his calm and steady composure.Shane Naiswell nodded in approval while Rosalie Naiswell stared at them with amusement, Harvey gave off such a dominant vibe compared to Luis, who looked like a mere watch repairer.However, Charles Zarate chortled to himself, thinking how youn
“Then let’s hope that you have a really big appetite.”Harvey York had an indifferent expression.“This watch is fake, an imitation of the lowest level, extremely stupid that it is laughable. Anyone with the least amount of common sense could’ve seen past this. An appraisal isn’t even required.”“You are so hilariously ignorant!”Luis Zarate could not help but point right at Harvey’s nose.‘This con man has crossed the line! How dare he even spout these nonsense?’Rosalie Naiswell looked at Harvey with a hint of disappointment. ‘Losing against a professional like Luis isn’t shameful, but Harvey’s attitude makes him look really bad.’Rosalie seemed a little suspicious. Why did Harvey give off a completely different vibe compared to before? Has she misjudged him?Charles Zarate casually glanced at Harvey and smiled.“It’s good to be competitive when you’re young. But sometimes, you’d have to admit when you have lost. There is no point in being a sore loser.”Naturally, Charle
“This…”Charles Zarate froze in place. Even he thought that the watch was real. He did not know that a fake watch could be counterfeited to this extent. At that moment, his face turned as sour as a lemon.Charles and Luis Zarate would not admit it. They were awfully conceited and did not even consider identifying the antique on the simplest step. If they did, they might not have misjudged about the antique.“I wasn’t even appraising the antique myself. I would be done distinguishing the authenticity in under a minute if things like these were in my hands!”Luis was grinding his teeth and he was not convinced. He did not want to admit that he had lost.In his eyes, this so-called loss was because of Shane Naiswell’s preset rules. If it weren’t for that, how could he have mistaken this fake watch for a real one?‘This wretched-looking tramp, Harvey York, only won because he was lucky. Even Shane was standing by his side, making me look bad.’“One more round! There’s no way I’ll lo
“Why do I have to be successful at appraising treasures?”Harvey York shrugged. “Me, afraid of wronging him? Is he even worthy to be afraid of?” Harvey said naturally. Appraising treasures to him was really nothing more than a hobby. He did not depend on this to make a living, why would he be afraid of offending the said industry’s authorities?Shane Naiswell’s looks congealed. He tried doing a background check on Harvey after he had rejected Shane’s offer before, but had found nothing special about him.There could only be two possibilities.One, Harvey York was indeed just an ordinary person.Two, Harvey York’s history was so extraordinary that even the Naiswell family did not have the permission to look into his past. That was why he had found nothing.Shane did not think that a person like Harvey was just an ordinary person, so it could only be the other explanation.“A York, the York family in South Light? The question is, nobody has heard of such a figure like this in t
Quinn Zimmer covered her mouth while she smiled.“What’s the rush? It’ll be fine waiting for a day or two for a plaything that’ll kneel everytime he sees you.”“True that.”Zack Zimmer nodded while making a complacent face.“The night is long, there will be plenty of opportunities. If he dares to take back his promise, I’ll get people to break his legs!”“Don’t forget why we’re here tonight.”Quinn was agitated as she set her sights on a table with nobody there.“Wasn’t the new CEO of York Enterprise supposed to be here? Why is that table still empty? That’s my future husband. What would I do if he isn’t coming?”Zack smiled and said, “If I was him, I’d be late too. He is representing all of York family in South Light after all, his status is even higher than that of the Naiswells. The fact that he was willing to come is already giving face to the Naiswells. Even if he didn’t attend in the end, what could the Naiswells do about it?”Quinn thought about it and came to the same
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
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
