Harvey York’s eyes twitched, he looked up to the ceiling, speechless.‘Why would she still ask about this after so long?’This affair could not be easily explained.Without a second thought, he sighed.“Mandy, please just trust me on this one. We’re really just friends! If we really had some kind of affair, I’ll get hit by a car when I go outside!”Mandy Zimmer reached out her hand and covered his mouth.“Shush! Don’t jinx it, stop talking nonsense. I believe you already!”The two looked at each other and smiled, the ice seemingly being broken.The quarrels between spouses are usually short, but the relationship between Harvey and Mandy were too complex. They did not even count as actual husband and wife, only on the outside. It was because of this that so many contradictions between the two had arisen.“Harvey, I have to work. You head off first, come back home sooner.” Mandy said shyly.She made her decision, she might have to cross the line that night. If not, her husband
In the evening, Harvey York had left the office and drove his Porsche to fetch Rosalie Naiswell.Rosalie was as giddy as a little girl with ice cream when she got on the front passenger seat. She thought that Harvey would only go fetch her with an electric bike, she even prepared herself to force a smile on the bike. She did not think that he would drive a Porsche here.This meant that Harvey must really value Rosalie, right?“What are you laughing at?”Harvey was confused. A woman’s mind is so complex, it changes so frequently when it wants to.Rosalie looked out the window and smiled. “Nothing. I just wanted to smile. Got a problem?”“No problem at all! You’re the young lady of the Naiswells. Not just in Niumhi, even in all of South Light, you can do whatever you want.” Harvey York said.Harvey did not say those words for flattery. Despite the Naiswells not being able to control all of Niumhi just yet, their authority was still extraordinary.“Then let’s go shopping. When I
Rosalie Naiswell did not recognize the two. She looked at them for a while and then nodded.“Oh, it’s you guys. We haven’t even met after graduating university, what a coincidence seeing you guys in Niumhi.”Ria Ferguson smiled and walked toward Rosalie while trampling on her high heels, then gave her the elevator eyes.“I know, right? What a small world we live in!”Ria’s husband had tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university. Naturally, she would have hostility toward Rosalie at that moment.Ria took a thorough look at Harvey York and laughed. “Rosalie, I heard that the Naiswells didn’t have a man worthy enough to inherit the family business this generation and that you’re planning to find a live-in son-in-law.”“The man in front of me isn’t really who you picked, yes?”“If you ask for my opinion, there were plenty of fish in the sea during your time in university. Why pick such a poor wretch?”“But fair enough, only people like this would be someone else’s liv
“Wha—”A few store clerks were perplexed.That was a Platinum Card!This thing could not be compared to the Amex Black Card, but was also a symbol of identity and status. People that do own this card were said to have assets worth thousands.There were no more than a hundred of those in all of Niumhi.After a moment of shock, the store clerk bowed in front of him and said, “This respectful gentleman. With this card, we are able to sell the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ to you.”Their voices weren’t that audible, but people from nearby jewelry stores looked toward their direction anyway. They did not think that a limited edition product like the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ would be sold out already a few days after release.After hearing this, Owen Hawkins arrogantly looked and smiled at Rosalie Naiswell.“Rosalie, you should at least have some standards in looking for a man. You can’t just simply find a man and expect him to buy you a necklace like this.”Ria Ferguson clung onto her husband’s arm,
Ria Ferguson laughed coldly.“Oh, Rosalie Naiswell. I remember you saying during university that you would find yourself a Prince Charming in the future.”“And then what happened? How are you not embarrassed taking a kept man that’s using your money to go shopping with you?”Rosalie looked at Ria with an expression as cold as ice and then shook her head.“Harvey, don’t let these people ruin our date. Let’s go, leave the necklace.”Harvey York nodded. He was only there to shop with Rosalie, there was no need to cause such a big trouble. He turned his body, ready to leave.Owen Hawkins chuckled.“This so-called Amex Black Card is also fake, I assume?”“I heard that a fake Amex Black Card only costs you twenty five dollars. The appearance of the card looks real too, am I really this lucky to be able to encounter a thing like this?”Harvey took his card back and glanced at Owen.“Even if it is fake, what’s it got to do with you?”“I just can’t stand people posing around even tho
Rosalie Naiswell shook her head constantly.She did like the necklace, but the price was too much to handle.Not just the live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, even she could not bring that much cash at that time.Rosalie pulled Harvey out of the jewelry store.Harvey smiled without saying a word, he knew that Rosalie really liked the necklace.The necklace was indeed expensive, but the price was nothing to Harvey. He’d thought to just buy it behind her back then give it to her later.While the two were talking, Owen Hawkins and Ria Ferguson walked right toward them.Ria seemed to forget the embarrassment that she had endured before and then hypocritically said, “Oh Rosalie, it must be fate that we’re able to bump into each other in Niumhi. Why don’t we find a spot to talk together?”Ever since Ria married Owen, the only thing she resented him for was the time when he tried to pursue Rosalie during their time in university.Now that the opportunity had arisen to strike a few more b
Seeing that Harvey York was slightly annoyed by what had happened, the manager would not dare to spout any more nonsense and kept nodding.“Yes! Of course!”The store clerks quickly packed up the ‘Emerald Fantasy’ and respectfully handed it over to Harvey.There was a store clerk that was slightly more beautiful than the others that kept sending eye signals to Harvey and even unconsciously touching his hand.Harvey did not even bat an eye.A few minutes later, Harvey brought a boutique box back to the place he was before.At that moment, those three were still having a conversation.But Rosalie Naiswell did not even want to speak with the other two. She had only stayed reluctantly to give face to the Hawkins family in Mordu.At that moment, Harvey smiled and walked up to Rosalie with the box and gave it to her.“You’re leaving tomorrow. Here’s a little token of appreciation for you, I’ll welcome you the next time you come to Niumhi as a guest!”Rosalie felt delighted. For Har
‘Let alone this kept man, even Rosalie Naiswell could not come up with eight million dollars at once to buy a necklace!’‘This must be stolen!’‘No wonder this kept man insisted Rosalie to open the gift box after she had returned home because he was afraid of being discovered!Owen Hawkins sneered and looked over at Rosalie. “You’d never know, Rosalie. Your taste in men is truly indescribable. Even now, you are having a crush on a thief?”“But you’re quite skillful in stealing! In just a few minutes, you could already get eight million dollars! Amazing!”Rosalie’s face turned frigid. She said coldly, “Owen, let me warn you, watch your tongue! You better stop talking nonsense.”“Nonsense? Me?” Owen laughed out loud.He then clapped his hands and said loudly, “Everyone, come and have a look! Someone has stolen something! A necklace worth eight million dollars was stolen. This is more exciting than a movie! Don’t let him run away!”Owen’s announcement caused a hubbub…A group of
"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
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
