Harvey glanced at the two beautiful women.“Hello.”“Let’s head inside, Mandy. A lot of people are waiting for you!”Jovie gave Vienna a look before dragging Mandy inside.Harvey was about to follow Mandy, but Vienna took a step forward and stopped him.“Something wrong?” Harvey asked with a smile.“I do hope you’d stop clinging to Mandy. You’re already divorced. Just go your separate ways already.”Vienna’s tone was as cold as ice.“People should have self-awareness! Don’t you understand the Zimmer family doesn’t want you?”“Get out of here already!”“After all, a country bumpkin like you has no right to join us from the upper social circle.”“You have no right to talk about Mandy and my business,” Harvey calmly replied.“She’s my good friend! Of course I have to talk about this!”Vienna raised her exquisite chin, her face filled with disdain.“You’re only getting your way because Mandy’s a kind person!”“In reality, you’re not handsome enough, you have no talent, and n
Meanwhile, inside Box 888 on the second floor…Harvey and the others pushed the luxurious door open; many were gathered there.They were dressed from head to toe in extravagant clothing and accessories, and bore cheerful expressions.The women had large jewelry hanging around them, while the men had expensive dazzling on their wrists.The aura they exuded could only be considered rich and lavish. Ordinary people wouldn’t even be able to compare.Their heads immediately turned as soon as Mandy and the others walked in.Many eyes lit up when they saw Mandy’s gorgeous face.A few young men with well-done hair looked at her with fearful yet profound gazes.Naturally, a goddess like Mandy was quite rare even in a place with a rich history such as the Golden Sands.“Mandy, Jovie, Vienna, you’re here.”A young man with a slightly bald head strutted over.His looks weren’t at all attractive, and his figure wasn’t up to standard either. His entire body was covered in luxury brands, a
Mandy smiled faintly after hearing Thomas’s words.“You must be joking, Mr. Burton. It’ll be bad if people misunderstand.”“Misunderstand? What’s there to misunderstand?”Thomas burst out laughing.“The entire business circle here knows that CEO Zimmer herself is a kind and beautiful lady! It’s been a while since I’ve pursued you!”“Enough dreaming!” Jovie hissed.“Mandy already has a partner!”“This right here is the legendary live-in son-in-law, Harvey York! He’s Mandy’s ex-husband.”“I heard that they’re just about to get remarried, too.”“You filthy men have no chance!”The men all gasped after hearing Jovie’s words.Even Thomas was filled with shock when he looked at Harvey; he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.Nobody thought that such an ordinary-looking man was actually Mandy’s legendary live-in husband.“That said, I heard that Aunty Yates doesn’t like him at all. It’s hard to say if the marriage will actually be a success or not.”Vienna showed a faint smi
Jovie quickly gave Vienna a look after hearing Mandy’s words.“Vienna! You can’t say that!” she exclaimed.“We’re all friends here!”“Enough about them! We should see when Young Master Saban’s coming.”“After all, we’re here to get an angel investor for Mandy.”Harvey froze before glancing at Mandy.‘Why does she still need an angel investor after I settled the debt for her?’Thomas froze as well.“What’s going on here, Mandy?”“You’re the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch! You came all the way here for your expansion!”“Is there something wrong with your funds recently?”“Yeah. There’s been a problem.”Mandy clicked her tongue, looking awkward. She didn’t want Harvey to know about this, but she couldn’t care less anymore since he was here anyway.Thomas thought about the situation for a moment, then gritted his teeth.“How much do you need? Just let me know.”“Can you have some respect for yourself, Thomas?!”Vienna raised her head, screeching.“Your entire com
Thomas was shocked to hear Idris’s name.“Are you talking about the young master of the Evergreen Capital Group? The company that’s on par with the Deepsky Corporation?!”“So you do have a bit of knowledge!”Jovie arrogantly pointed at Thomas with her nose.“You’re right about that.”“His family has billions of dollars worth of assets, and it’s all cash flow! It wouldn’t be hard for him to hand out three hundred million.”“More importantly, the company’s the same as the Deepsky Corporation—both companies are backed up by the most mysterious family in the Golden Sands!”“Do you know who that major figure is?”Thomas frowned.“I don’t really know much, but at least I know that both companies are backed up by the mysterious Jackson family. The family is at least on par with both the Patel family and the John family.”“Legends say that the Jackson family was once listed as one of the five hidden families…”“But since they were so discreet and preferred to only pull the strings b
“Let me find a way to help!”“I can’t get that much money…”“But if I sell everything I have, I can probably get thirty million.”Thomas gritted his teeth, looking determined.“You don’t need to pay interest! Just use it to get by for now.”“I’ll think of another way to get more.”“In any case, you can’t borrow any money from Idris!”Mandy froze, but then shook her head.“I can’t take your money, Mr. Burton.”“You’ll ruin all your chances for success if you do this! I can’t accept it!”Thomas had a righteous look on his face.“I’m just repaying kindness with kindness.”“You were the one who helped me get through my predicament before! I can’t just turn back on you now!”“It’s settled!”“Shut your damn mouth!”“Who even asked for your opinion?!” Jovie snarled, looking deeply annoyed.“You don’t even have enough to buy your own grave, yet you’re here trying to save other people?”“Do you understand just how big Mandy’s family is? Your money’s just pocket change to her!”
Meanwhile, Vienna quickly ran forward and placed her plump chest on Idris’s arm.“Thank you for coming all the way here, Young Master Saban!”“I’ll give you all of my body just for this!”“Enough, both of you.”Idris shot them an impatient look.“You said that there’s a pretty lady that needs money. Where is she right now?”“Right here, Young Master Saban!”Jovie quickly dragged Mandy here, who was still in a bad mood.“Mandy, this is Young Master Saban.”Mandy started to understand Idris’s attitude then and there. She deduced that Thomas was probably speaking the truth…However, she had no choice when she considered the ninth branch’s assets.“Hello,” she said with a faint smile.“I was the one who asked for your help.”“Oh! You really are a beauty! You’re the head of the Jean family’s ninth branch, too! Identity, status, and looks are all on your side. Not bad…not bad at all!”Idris naturally knew who Mandy was.That said, with the Jackson family behind his back, he di
“Yes, think about it! The waters are extremely deep here. It won’t be easy for you to get this much money!”“His conditions are a little unreasonable, but it’s the most realistic compared to most others.”Vienna had a bitter look on her face, and was talking as if she was doing this for Mandy’s sake.“Besides, everything’ll pass soon. You won’t lose anything just by letting him have you, anyway!”“More importantly, getting acquainted with Young Master Saban will only benefit you!”“With this connection, you’ll have another business in the Golden Sands! This is good for you!”Jovie and Vienna had borrowed money from the same man.Not only were they constantly forced to sleep around, they couldn’t pay up their interests for the longest time.And so, they wanted to sacrifice Mandy to settle everything once and for all.After all, Idris was so interested in Mandy that he’d forget about their interests as long as he could have her.Simply put, if Mandy refused the money, the two w
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
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
