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?”
Feeling the action of the other party, Harvey York turned his body and quickly slapped the young man in his face.Slap!With a crisp sound, the young man was dumbfounded after being slapped.He covered his face, staggered back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.“Damn! What are you! How dare you hit me?! How dare you be so arrogant as a driver?! You are dead!” The young man gritted his teeth angrily.“I’m kindly reminding you. Don’t come to provoke me again, or you’ll be dead.” Harvey said indifferently and walked toward the clubhouse.The bellboy was dumbfounded.What was going on?This driver had the nerve to slap a person who drives a Porsche.Was he trying to get himself killed?He hurried to the young man and asked, “Sir, are you alright?!”“I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be? However, I’m afraid some people will have trouble tonight!” The young man sneered again and again.This clubhouse has been booked tonight. Those who entered the clubhouse now could not escape.
The people around Tyler Zane looked at Harvey York and said, “He might not be a driver. Maybe he’s just a poor guy who wants to get in and flatter us?” Tyler smiled and said, “That’s right. Maybe he just found an invitation card luckily, thinking that he’s qualified to come to our party and that he can join our circle. It’s ridiculous!”“This kind of people, who the hell do they think they are? They naively think that once they get in, no one will know about their true identity. Our circle is very small. No one is out of reach.”“How about going to play with him?”“Let’s go. This trash, since he dares to get into our circle, we’ll have to teach him a lesson. I’m initially worried that I’ll have nothing to do tonight!” Tyler smiled.“How about I go to him first, Brother Zane?” The man said with a grin. He was certainly buttering Tyler up.Tyler squinted and nodded. He was a man with a well-known identity. Now someone offered to help him. He was overjoyed.The man walked up to Ha
“Could it be that Master Zane was going to kneel?”At this moment, many people around began to heckle.This circle was certainly not united, and there were more internal intrigues and rivalries.This party tonight was organized by Wendy Sorrell. Many single and rich second generations wanted to use this opportunity to impress her.At this moment, Tyler was making trouble and might annoy the organizer, Wendy. Would this not make everyone have more opportunities?Tyler felt that he was being put on the spot facing the boisterous crowd.Tyler initially wanted to avoid this scene. After all, Wendy was the main character tonight. If he caused any trouble at this time, it meant not giving her face.Furthermore, Wendy was now an executive of York Enterprise.Recently, rumors were stating that she might replace Yvonne Xavier as the secretary of the mysterious new CEO. If that was the case, she would be the second most powerful person in York Enterprise.Who dared to offend her at this
After hearing what Harvey York said, for some reason, he was so frightened that his legs softened, and kneeled on the ground.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just did what Tyler said. This has nothing to do with me!”“Well, I’ll forgive you.”Harvey called for a waiter and picked up a glass of wine. He then slowly poured it on the person’s head.That person did not even dare to avoid it.What happened to Tyler Zane was still vivid. He did not want to be smashed by Harvey.“I’m going to kill you! I certainly am going to kill you! Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this? You’re dead!” Tyler struggled to speak.“It doesn’t matter who you are. Since you don’t know me, it means that you aren’t doing well in this circle. You’re not even considered as a rich second generation from a second-class family. And here you are, being pretentious in front of me?” Harvey smiled faintly.He did not talk nonsense. Those who had participated in the previous Antique Fair held by the Naiswel
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
