After Harvey York along with everyone else had left.Zack Zimmer looked at Senior Zimmer, seeming like he had something to say but stopped himself.Zack was clear about this too, he let in a huge breath of air. And softly said, “Grandfather, do you also think that I was a bit greedy just now...?”“Oh? Even you knew?” Senior Zimmer coldly said.“Grandfather, you mistake me. I never wanted the watch, it was only a test for Harvey. Now it has been proven, Harvey indeed has gotten more arrogant as soon as Mandy Zimmer rose in position...” “Then what are you planning to do? A CEO like you talking like this, I’d rather you stop.” Senior Zimmer calmly said.“All I’m suggesting is, should we make a little trouble for Mandy? Of course it won’t trample with the profits of the Zimmer family. These small bumps make it a bit harder for Mandy to gain authority. It would force Mandy down a bunch while preventing Harvey from being too arrogant.” Zack carefully said.He’s learned to be brighter
“What do you mean we’re asking him to do such a thing? He’s the live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family, what’s the matter if he does something for the family? And do you not realize? Your grandfather’s furious, and judging by his personality, if he doesn’t get what he wants, you know more than I do about the consequences, don’t you?” Lilian Yates calmly warned Mandy Zimmer.Mandy naturally had known what kind of person Senior Zimmer was.If she wasn’t able to complete Senior Zimmer’s objective, she would be in danger in the Zimmer household from that day onward. Senior Zimmer might not rob her of her identity, but removing her authority was something that he could definitely accomplish.The commercial centre project that the Zimmer family was organizing was also on the starting phase, Mandy did not want other things to obstruct the event.“I’ll think about it,” Mandy said quietly.Lilian impatiently said, “Well think faster! Don’t you realize how big of a matter this is? I’m stil
“You want me to beg Master Naiswell so that he can help the Zimmers too?” Harvey York said directly.Mandy Zimmer did not say a word, nor did she react whatsoever.Harvey’s heart let out a sigh, it looked like he had guessed right. If not, she would’ve at least shaken her head.“You just have to nod and I’ll be able to help you. But, whether the Naiswells care about the Zimmers isn’t within my control.” Harvey said.Mandy hesitated and then nodded.Harvey did not have any complaints or did he have any feelings of vex. Instead, he changed the subject.“You also think it’s my fault for making Zack kneel?”Mandy took a sip of porridge, then stood up and left without a single word.Harvey let out a huge sigh, forcing a laugh.He too did not know what happened between the two of them.***Inside a villa beside a lake with a five-star scenery.Rosalie Naiswell was sitting on a couch, sighing while making a sour face.She was about to head back to the provincial capital the next
“Are you coming for me or for my grandfather?” Rosalie Naiswell said inadvertently.“I have business with Master Naiswell, consider it customary for the two of you.”“You think this is some food stall in the middle of the street and anybody can just come and go as they please?”Rosalie Naiswell was fuming slightly, this man was coming for her grandfather but not her.“Forget about it if you’re not free.” Harvey York said calmly on the other side of the line.Harvey did not care much about the affair with the Zimmer family anyway. Since Shane Naiswell refused to meet him, he would not think too much about it.After hearing this, the woman once as cold as ice looked at Shane as if she were wronged and immediately said, “My grandfather wasn’t here before, but he is now. When are you coming over?”Harvey listened to this and was in between laughter and tears. Shane was also dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.“Alright, I’ll head over now.” Harvey said and hung up the phone.Rosa
Harvey York let out a huge sigh. Those old foxes were a bunch of smart people. Whatever objective or thought he might have would be seen through in front of their eyes.Without a second thought, Harvey grabbed a cup of tea on the table and drank it. He then sighed.“This truly is the kind of tea that heals your stomach. A pound of this would definitely cost you hundreds, right?”“Hundreds?”Shane Naiswell angrily laughed after listening to Harvey.“This is the Big Red Pouch from Walno, the strain on cliffs, with bodyguards protecting it with firearms. You can only get around ten pounds of this tea per year, the ones that are being sold outside is less than five pounds, a pound costs more than eighty thousand.”“You’re telling me that a pound of this is worth thousands?”Harvey was not well versed on teas, but at that moment he was also astonished.The Naiswells’ networking skills are beyond his comprehension, this was not the kind of tea that anyone could buy with just some mon
“Kid, you think your favor is worth something?”Shane Naiswell laughed.“Probably,” Harvey York replied calmly.“Fine, since you’re so confident about it. The family has quite a few industries tied to it, I’ll just simply get one to work with the Zimmers. Consider this as giving face,” Shane said while waving his hand, like it was no big deal.But for a second-class family, this was unbelievably priceless.Even without the Naiswells’ acknowledgement, to be able to work with them, even for a small project would be enough recognition to prove their worth.“Master Naiswell, I can’t thank you enough. If you need me to do something in the future, I’ll be obliged to do so,” Harvey said with a serious face.Shane smiled, he did not take this to heart either. He had only helped Harvey because of his potential. He did not think that Harvey at that moment would have enough power to do much anyway.“Done talking?” Rosalie said nonchalantly.“If you’re done, let’s go eat.”Harvey looked
“You don’t need to know.” Rosalie Naiswell said with an expression as cold as ice.“I’m here to represent the Naiswell family to talk about our future collaboration.”Senior Zimmer froze, he would not have thought that Rosalie would say something like this.The worthless sack of trash, Harvey York had such an important place in Shane’s heart? Would the Zimmer family need the likes of a live-in son-in-law to climb the ranks?At that moment, it was unimaginable even for Senior Zimmer.Rosalie kept talking, “I’ve got a lot of business to attend to, so I’ll make it short.”“Coincidentally, the Naiswells owed Harvey a favor before.”“He came to our house today to ask us to repay the favor by acknowledging the Zimmer family.”“My grandfather did not accept the request initially, but he did promise to pick out a project to work with the Zimmer family. As for the effectiveness of our collaboration and if you could use it to rise above ranks depend solely on your performance.”Senior Z
Senior Zimmer was barely holding in his laughter.Once the contract was signed, it meant that the Zimmers would officially collaborate with the Naiswells.Despite it not being Shane Naiswell asking for the collaboration himself, to have a chance to work with the Naiswells was a rare opportunity for the Zimmers.In all of South Light, the people that had the opportunity to work with the Naiswells were only first class families around the city.That also meant that the Zimmers having the qualifications to work with the Naiswells would give them the chance to climb to the top of the ranks, along with the help of the Commercial Centre Project.The Zimmers were being backed up by York Enterprise and the Naiswells, the two giants at the same time. How hard could it be to climb the ranks?“I thank you, for giving us the opportunity to work with the Naiswells.” Senior Zimmer said humbly.“Thank you for coming all the way here to send us this good news, Miss Naiswell.”“And please help
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
