“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
When Zack Zimmer had arrived at the villa, Senior Zimmer swiftly told him about the collaboration with the Naiswells.At the same time, Senior Zimmer made a straight face.“Zack, this collaboration might be overseen by Rosalie Naiswell herself. You have to grab this chance. If you can somehow make her yours, I wouldn’t even mind you being their live-in son-in-law!”Zack froze.‘My grandfather was usually nice to me, why would he ask me to be someone else’s live-in son-in-law? Is he planning to give up on me?’Senior Zimmer had seen through Zack’s thoughts, he then reassured him and said, “Zack, be rest assured. The Zimmers will always be open to you even if you somehow managed to be the Naiswells’ live-in son-in-law. Don’t you worry about it!”“About Rosalie Naiswell, you can try it if you want. I heard that she might be the next heir of the Naiswells. If you can make her yours, even to the point of being a live-in son-in-law, you could take her place in the future when she has c
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
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
