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
Jovie and Vienna were forcing themselves to smile brightly as they got back off the ground.Naturally, they were well-versed with Idris’s scummy behavior.People who try to stop him from getting what he wanted would only die horrible deaths.Though Idris was quite the skilled fighter, the men in suits behind him would be enough to terrify people.Only those with a death wish would dare utter a single word of dissent in front of him.Mandy lifted Thomas off the ground, screaming at Idris, “You’re insane!”“I’ll call the cops on you!”“Call the cops?”A man with a mohawk behind Idris guffawed coldly.“The entire police station is filled with Young Master Saban’s men! If you can do anything with the cops, I’ll swallow this entire table whole!”“Sigh. Don’t say things like that, you’ll scare off the pretty lady!”Idris clicked his tongue before flashing Mandy a faint smile.“I know you’re powerful, Mandy, but I’m still going to tell you the same thing: in a place like Golden Sa
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
