“Oh? A way to let the Zimmers be a part of Simon Zimmer’s good project and resources?”Senior Zimmer’s eyes lit up.“Let’s hear it!”The other members of the Zimmer family too held their breaths and listened closely.Being a second-class family in the provincial capital would definitely make the Zimmers increase their wealth tenfold. That also meant that they would be swimming in money.At that moment, nobody wanted to undermine Simon’s plans. Everyone was making a face full of excitement.Simon laughed.“Dad, have you heard of the Silva family in South Light?”Senior Zimmer fretted.“Simon, you mean one of the first-class families in all of South Light, that Silva family?”“Right! That’s them!”Simon Zimmer was acting proud.“Legends say that the Silva family were the king’s royal relatives during the old times, the true Lord Kye Silva!”“After the war, they set foot on South Light and had the surname Silva!”“The family is not as deep-rooted as the Yorks.”“But, the fa
‘What?’‘Is this even real?’Everyone scoffed at this idea, how fake could this even get?Were the Silvas idiots to even sign a contract like this?Simon Zimmer looked at the faces of everyone full of distrust and smiled. Then, he pulled out an exquisite folder out of his briefcase and threw it on a table.“Here, take a look.”Everyone surrounded the table and closely inspected the contents.The contract indeed had specified what Simon had said, a newly planned area in Buckwood would be given ten acres for the Zimmer family to operate in.A shopping centre aside, a few residential buildings were also included in the land. Every inch of the new area in Buckwood was worth tons of gold.If the Zimmer family could manage the project with ten acres of the land, their net worth would increase tenfold!The contract had specified as well that this collaboration would give the Zimmer family fifty one percent of all the shares and appointed to take charge in said project. If they wou
“That’s right, grandfather. This is a huge matter, you have to think carefully. If you make one wrong move, you’ll lose everything. It seemed like we’ll get tons of benefits as said in this contract, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch!”“Buckwood is a place where vicious and greedy people gather. Who knows how many first-class families from prefecture-level cities tried to make a living there, then came back as dead as a dodo? What capabilities do we even have to survive in Buckwood?”“Once we go all in and there’s no way to go back and we failed, the whole family would be in shambles!”Zack Zimmer was the first one to oppose Simon Zimmer’s idea with a vigilant expression on his face. If this plan did go through, his position of vice CEO in the family would be like a fart in the wind. He would never allow this.“Grandfather, I am the vice CEO in the family, I have to think of the family’s safety. These things should not be decided just because someone brought a project home.
“Young Master Leon Silva is about to be my son-in-law, do you really think that he would still plot against his own father-in-law?” Simon Zimmer righteously said.“Heh, son-in-law?” Quinn Zimmer tossed her hair back, with a face full of sarcasm.“My dearest uncle, look at your daughter and see if she wants to divorce that live-in son-in-law first! I’m afraid your dreams will be shattered soon after, and you won’t be able to take it!”“You…”Simon was boiling with anger to the point where he could not speak properly.“Enough! Everyone’s family here, stop fighting!” Senior Zimmer slammed his hand on the table, face full of discontent.“Making a ruckus in the middle of the night, do we not have order here?!”“Simon, I’ll ask you again, is it true that the Silvas want to arrange a marriage with the Zimmers?” Senior Zimmer said while pondering about the situation.Simon clapped his chest and said, “Definitely. Of course it’s real, no way it’s fake!”“Did the Silvas specify who
After exchanging an eye signal with Quinn Zimmer, Zack Zimmer stood up with a strict expression.“Grandfather, I think we should try it out if the Silvas are actually willing to arrange a marriage with our family.”He had thoroughly thought about it. If Quinn were to marry someone from the Silvas, the family could stand firm in Buckwood.If that were to happen, he could use the collaboration with the Naiswells to get closer to Rosalie Naiswell and become their family’s son-in-law!With the Silvas’ and the Naiswells’ support, who would dare to even oppose the Zimmers?Quinn had come back to her senses with a face full of excitement.“Grandfather, if my husband’s family would like to collaborate with ours, how could we possibly give up on this opportunity?!”Quinn Zimmer was opposing the idea with a face full of righteousness just before, it showed how quickly she could turn against someone faster than turning a page of a book.She was selected to have a marriage with the young m
The Zimmer family meeting had ended before Harvey York, Mandy Zimmer, and Lilian Yates even arrived. If Harvey were present, he would’ve stopped the collaboration immediately.He knew what kind of family that the Silvas were. All those years, people that had worked with them had their blood sucked dry by the Silvas.***When Harvey and the others arrived at the main hall of the Zimmer Villa, only Simon Zimmer with a face as dark as night had remained.“Dad…”“Father…”“Hey old man, didn’t you say that there was a family meeting? Why are you the only one here? You were about to announce something, right? What’s up?”Lilian had dressed up gorgeously at that moment. She heard in her husband’s tone that he had succeeded in Buckwood, that was why she wanted to show her best and spent more time doing makeup.A shame that she had arrived late.Simon’s face was as pale as snow. He tilted his head up slowly like a beast and glared at Lilian coldly, then shifted his gaze toward Mandy.
Niumhi at night was very deserted.Harvey York did not drive his Porsche when he was driven out. Hence, he could only find a shared EV and rode it.This was because it was past ten o'clock in the evening, there was no one at the company, not even the security guards.Harvey searched his whole body and found that he had not brought any cash with him. Reluctantly, he could only call Wendy Sorrell.He could not call Yvonne Xavier because she was still recovering from her injuries. Thus, it was not a good time to call to disturb her recuperation.On the other end of the phone, Wendy was putting on makeup in the apartment. She quickly stood up when she received the call. She still spoke respectfully even though she was talking over the phone, “CEO, why are you calling at this hour of the night?”Harvey was also a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he still said, “I have no place to stay tonight. Can you arrange a place for me?”Wendy was stunned for a moment. Her face f
“Pfft…” The bellboy laughed. After looking at Harvey York up and down for a moment, he pointed to the luxury cars beside him, and said, “Sir, look at what you are driving and what you are wearing, then look at the cars at our parking lot. Do you think you are qualified to come and patronize this place?”“The money we spend one night here, I’m afraid you won’t even make that much money in your life!”“Who stipulates that you must drive a luxury car when you come to the gathering? What’s wrong with riding in a shared EV?” Harvey smiled helplessly. He would have driven in his Porsche here if he had known that the bellboy in the private clubhouse would be a snob like this.“Brother, let me tell you the truth. I don’t care whether you want to show off or you want to hit on girls. In short, this place is not suitable for you!” The bellboy said earnestly.“This is a private clubhouse. All the services must be reserved in advance. Do you think you are eligible to make an appointment?”
"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
