“That’s right. He’s even comparable to a dog in our family, but the people are praising him right now!”“Do we expose him for who he is right now? He’s nothing but a live-in son-in-law. Why is he sitting there feeling all high and mighty?”“Zack Zimmer! What do you say?!”“...”The whole family set their eyes on Zack. He was the vice CEO of the Zimmer family, everyone had to consult for his opinion.Zack’s face had suddenly turned gray, he did not know what to say at that moment.The others wanted him to ‘hold the stage’, but all that Zack wanted to do was to dig a hole and hide in it so that Harvey York wouldn’t see him.Or the worthless piece of trash, Harvey could pretend like nothing ever happened. If not, is he about to make Zack kneel in front of him?He wouldn’t even need a day to be the laughing stock in all of Niumhi!Zack would not dare to speak, while Mandy Zimmer hung her head down, forcing not to smile.People had held this live-in son-in-law as a man with talent
“It didn’t matter how he met Master Naiswell, a worthless trash is still a worthless trash.”“I’ll admit to his excellence if he can help the Zimmer family in organizing an event that’ll make us a first class family!”Senior Zimmer breathed in heavily with a cold expression.Mandy Zimmer looked at Senior Zimmer, her heart had felt an unspeakable feeling.On the contrary, Senior Zimmer would never admit the truth that he had always despised Harvey York.Meanwhile, Harvey made acquaintances with the Naiswell family just for the benefits.That could only be described as utterly shameless.Even then, in Mandy’s eyes, Harvey did not even care about the Zimmer family’s opinions on him.Why would he care about what other people said about him when he could talk freely in front of Shane Naiswell?No matter how Shane had looked up to him, the fact that he was sitting there meant that he was successful.Even if it was for his treasure appraising trick, to be noticed and looked up by th
After hearing that, not just Zack Zimmer, the rest of the Zimmer family’s eyes twitched.If they were kicked out of the hall, the Zimmer family would not even have a chance to make a living in Niumhi. To the Zimmer family, this would be a fatal blow to them.At that moment, everyone from the Zimmer family that were present were staring at Zack, perplexed. If he kept dismissing Rosalie Naiswell, the Zimmer family would be finished.“Miss Naiswell, it really is just a joke. If you don’t believe me, you can get the worthless piece of trash here and ask him yourself.” Zack said while he frowned.Even then, he did not have a sliver of respect for Harvey York. He did not stop calling him a worthless piece of trash.Rosalie was only venting for Harvey, but after hearing this man call the man that she admired a worthless piece of trash had made her seething with anger.She glared coldly at Zack.“Is there even a need to? It’s fine if you don’t kneel, but I’ll remember this. Scram right
“Zack, don’t let me say it again. Everyone is waiting.” Rosalie Naiswell said coldly.Zack Zimmer took another look at Senior Zimmer. After all, he was so embarrassed that it was a real shame for the Zimmer family. He hoped that Senior Zimmer could come forward to help him.However, Senior Zimmer looked away as if he did not know Zack.In his opinion, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.If Rosalie was unhappy, he would find himself in a great deal of trouble.This scene made Zack resign himself to his fate. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He then knelt in the direction where Harvey York was.The whole crowd went silent for an instant and there was a burst of uproarious laughter after a while.Did someone kneel on this occasion? This was so hilarious!Zack was kneeling with his head almost down on the ground. At this moment, his face was red and his eyes were full of hatred. His whole body was shaking.‘Harvey York, this is all your fault. I, Zack Zimmer, will surely
Rosalie Naiswell did not admit or deny at this moment, instead, she just returned to her seat vaguely.Senior Zimmer’s face turned extremely pale when he looked at this scene.He initially thought the Zimmer family could take the opportunity today to emerge strongly once again. However, what happened at this moment was certainly a disaster for the Zimmer family.Zack Zimmer was the future CEO of the Zimmer family. Nonetheless, he had become a joke and a public enemy of the entire Niumhi today.If the Zimmer family was put under his charge, who would cooperate with the Zimmer family in the future?It was impossible for the Zimmer family to only rely on the commercial center project for a lifetime. Furthermore, York Enterprise might withdraw its capital.The Zimmer family did not dare to say anything even if York Enterprise decided to withdraw their capital.At this moment, Senior Zimmer let out a sigh of relief while looking at the dining table of York Enterprise from a distance
Shane Naiswell did not talk anymore. He clapped his hands. Then, a staff was seen cautiously holding an antique vase and put it on the podium.“If anyone is interested, you can come forward and appraise it in an orderly manner. You can also comment on the authenticity of this item at will.” Shane smiled.The upper-class people who were present were all engaging with it after hearing that. Several elderly people who had a keen interest in antiques also stepped forward and began to appraise it carefully.“Master Naiswell, you are mean. This thing is fake!”“Yeah! It’s too fake!”“Master, tell me the truth, where did you buy this thing? Does it cost fifteen dollars?”Shane did not get angry facing their discussion. He then smiled and said, “I bought this at a stall and it costs about eight dollars.”Everyone was confused about this.How could this eight dollars porcelain be real?Yet, how could a prominent figure like Shane buy a fake thing?He was the master among masters in ap
Everyone was a little confused when they first saw this porcelain vase.Master Naiswell’s antique fair usually did not exhibit fake antiques. However, he allowed everyone to comment at will.In this case, many people unconsciously thought that this was a fake thing, but there was no clear evidence.However, when they heard Charles Zarate saying so affirmatively, they finally got it and felt that they had gained knowledge at this moment.At this time, Shane Naiswell smiled and said upon hearing Charles’ words, “Charles, since you are so sure that this isn’t an antique, but a modern object, then let me ask you, which family could make such an exquisite porcelain vase in the world today? Don’t tell me that it could be bought easily in the small-commodities market.”They had a good laugh upon hearing those words. Master Naiswell was good at joking.“Naiswell, what do you mean?” Charles slightly frowned. He pondered it at this moment. He thought that the porcelain vase was a fake, but
At this time, Shane Naiswell glanced at Harvey York with a half-smile on his face.Actually, the more the Zimmer family tried to force Harvey out, the happier he was. At this moment, he wished that the Zimmer family would come out and scold Harvey.That was the only way Harvey would give up on the Zimmer family and even divorce Mandy Zimmer. Only then Rosalie Naiswell would have a chance.However, he found out that the other members of the Zimmer family did not dare to step forward after he waited for a while. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.He then smiled and said after glancing at Senior Zimmer, “Everyone, I have my reasons for inviting this little friend of mine to participate in the antique fair. Let us hear what he has to say.”The crowd suddenly became quiet when Shane spoke.Although everyone despised this legendary live-in son-in-law, they dared not say anything at this moment.Harvey glanced at Quinn profoundly. He could only say that this woman was st
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
