Mandy Zimmer’s expression changed slightly. She was about to speak up before Harvey York stopped her.He came here to see what Gabriel Lee had prepared for him anyway.It would be quite rude to stop him when the show just started.Gabriel’s parents looked over with disdainful glares.‘This is the live-in son-in-law who’s been ruining everything!‘My son would’ve gotten a second wife if it wasn’t for him! The Zimmer family’s assets would’ve been his too!“Oh? Isn’t this the legendary live-in son-in-law of the Zimmer family?“He seems pretty normal to me! Maybe he’s actually dumb or something!”“If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have bought some radish just to give it to his in-laws!”“How dare he claim that Gabriel’s gift is fake?!“Who does he think he is?!“Narcissist! Filth!”Obviously, Gabriel had already boasted about the entire situation just to fan the flames even harder.Avery Foster clearly would not bother to clarify the incident since she was on Gabriel’s sid
Avery Foster showed a playful smile.“You should be thanking your brother-in-law by now.“You wouldn’t be able to get a job without his help.”Harvey York cracked a smile.“Do you really want me to lift bricks for you? Are you sure you won’t regret your decision?”“Do you think you can just disrespect him like that? You…”Right as Avery was about to speak up…Along with the sound of a loud bang, the door was instantly kicked open.The cup in Harvey’s hand shook before he squinted toward the direction.A few fierce-looking men in shirts strode inside.A man with long hair biting on a cigar was leading the group.“Everybody out! We’re taking the box!” he coldly exclaimed, squinting at the Lee family.Gabriel Lee was at his peak. He would not allow himself to bear such disrespect at this moment.He slammed the table while his entire body reeked of alcohol.“What are you saying?! We’re not even done eating here!”“The chairman of the Evergreen Capital Group is coming here! A
Baylor Lee showed a prideful expression when she exclaimed, “Apologize right now! This is an order!“Kneel while you’re at it!“If not, then don’t even think of getting your damn job lifting bricks!“You’ll starve to death!”Harvey York completely ignored the siblings and calmly shifted his gaze toward the fierce men.“ Get Cliff Saban here in three minutes.“I said so.“You better tell him to hurry up. If he’s late, then no apology can fix this.”After hearing those words, Gabriel Lee’s and the others’ faces were as pale as ghosts.Harvey was clearly dragging them down for challenging Cliff like that!‘Does this guy want us all to die together?!’“Who are you even?! How dare you tell us that?!The long-haired man was showing a cold glare.“You have a death wish or something?!”He was just about to crush Harvey…When a man covered in bandages walked over.The man was the same person with a mohawk who got kicked down at San Francisco Clubhouse.He instinctively trembled
The entire family felt horrible.‘What right does he have?’‘What right does a live-in son-in-law have for a chairman to apologize?!’‘Are we all dreaming?’Harvey York completely ignored the Lee family while they were utterly shocked.“I’ll let it pass this time.”“Thank you so much, Sir York!Cliff Saban showed a bright smile before he looked at Harvey respectfully.“Is it too much to ask for your phone number as well?“I have other things that I need your guidance at another time!Harvey smiled as he casually wrote his number on a piece of tissue before throwing it in front of Cliff.“Thank you! Thank you!Before looking at the Lee family, Cliff kept the tissue as if it was treasure.“Sorry to bother you, everyone. This meal’s on me.”His subordinates bowed with respectful yet terrified looks on their faces.Harvey waved his hand.“Get out of here.”His casual attitude made it seem like Cliff and the others were his lackeys.The Lee family could not accept it. They
“The Evergreen Capital Group only does usury businesses anyway! They were never clean to begin with!“Cliff Saban is no exception!“What right do you have to show off when you’re friends with a man like that?!“Times have changed!“Only honest work can last you a lifetime!“A man like Cliff can’t survive for long!Baylor Lee disdainfully glared at Harvey York. Her face with exquisite makeup was showing a prideful expression at this moment.“Heinous businesses won’t last for long! Our company is the best there is!”Gabriel Lee’s mother seemed quite cocky after hearing those words.“That’s right! Our company is the only one that will honor our ancestors!”Gabriel knew his family was helping him to ridicule Harvey, but he still felt extremely awkward even then…That said, he forced his feelings back since Harvey was getting embarrassed at this time.“Do the right thing!It seemed as if Baylor was teaching Harvey a lesson.“When you’re half as good as I am, maybe the Zimmer f
That said, Dariel Jackson completely ignored the entire family.He quickly walked in front of Harvey York before respectfully bowing.“Sir York!”‘Sir York?!’Dariel was not being that loud, nor was he quiet…But those words felt like a bomb going off in the heads of Baylor Lee’s parents.Baylor was also showing an extremely horrible expression.The relatives were showing expressions of utter disbelief when they looked at Harvey.‘What the Hell?’‘Sir York again?’‘Is this live-in son-in-law really that impressive?’Baylor froze.“CEO Jackson! He’s just a live-in son-in-law!”Dariel completely ignored Baylor as he respectfully bowed in front of Harvey.“Sir York! Mrs. Zimmer!“I didn’t think I’d bump into you two here! What a blessing!“I’m honored!“This is too exciting for me!”Dariel was so exhilarated that his mouth had been wide open the entire time.Everyone from the Lee family was stunned when they saw Dariel being this happy in front of Harvey.Baylor’s jaw
Dariel Jackson’s words made it look like he was blaming the Lee family, but it had another meaning to it.Baylor Lee’s eyes lit up instantly.“You didn’t ask, CEO Jackson!” she replied with a tender voice.“I would’ve told you by now!“Just let me know when you want to have a meal with Harvey York! I’ll set him up just for you!”Baylor puffed up her chest as if she owned Harvey.She was being quite confident at this moment.She believed that Harvey had no choice but to do anything if Gabriel Lee managed to control him through Lilian Yates.Dariel could not help but tap Baylor’s shoulder after hearing her words.“Good! Good! Come to my office tomorrow!”Baylor’s eyes lit up. She thought she was about to climb the ranks again.The Lee family was exhilarated. They were impressed by Baylor’s ingenuity to take advantage of the situation secretly.‘No wonder she’s been able to rise through the ranks that easily…’“I don’t think I even know you.Harvey casually spoke up after se
Harvey York showed an odd expression when he looked at Mandy Zimmer. He could not recognize who the woman on the phone was.Ever since she came to the Golden Sands, she has met quite a lot of people.From a particular standpoint, this was a sign of her growing up.“Mandy! Isn’t that the legendary live-in ex-husband?The woman on the screen was showing a disdainful expression when she saw Harvey’s figure behind Mandy.“Why would you let that filth in your room?”Mandy glared at her.“I told you, Alma. I’m going to remarry him.”“You’re kidding, right?Alma John was shocked.“He’s just filth! Everyone here knows that you barely got out of the marriage! Why would you dig yourself another hole?“Did you forget?“I introduced you to my brother! You’re supposed to be my sister-in-law!“My brother’s a prominent figure in the John family!“You both would make a strong couple!”Alma showed a determined look on her face.Harvey frowned. He did not expect that Mandy would be acqua
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
Hale's expression was one of shock.Susan was the same.Hale didn't expect Sky Plane's plan to be so vicious. They wanted the Chapter of Ascension and to use the chance to plunge Grand City into chaos.Susan was shocked about how accurate Harvey's guesswork was. If it wasn't because she knew that someone like him would never have a connection with Sky Plane, she would even think that he might have a hand in setting up the trap that looked like it was simply a string of coincidences.Otherwise, how would he have known everything in such detail?Clarion looked at Harvey with more admiration. While he looked like just an ordinary man, whether his power or perception was far beyond them.Hale slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down for a long time.Then, he turned and looked at Susan and muttered, "Now that we have reached this juncture, I don't think that there should be any more secrets between you and I. Just one question. Did everything happen exactly as Mr. Harvey
"Or maybe, in your subconscious, you do realize that something isn't right. Maybe you simply feel that it's better for her not to know about some things. That way, things will be safer for her," Harvey said with a shrug. "However, the truth is that she didn't get anything from you at all until yesterday, isn't it?"Hale nodded. "You're right. I did have some doubts about her in my mind, that's why I did tell her everything except the Chapter of Ascension."Hale seemed to reminisce about something else before giving a painful smile. "And then, as time passed by, I no longer suspected her. But I'm worried that it'll get her killed, so I chose not to say anything. I believed that as long as I said nothing, we'll be able to live a peaceful life! No one expects that in the end…"Hale signed, looking hopeless when he said that.However, Susan simply smiled icily. "Stop your crocodile tears, Hale. You never trusted me, so stop saying that you love me!"Hale smiled bitterly. He didn't w
Clarion was stunned when he saw Mrs. Hoffman was still trying to argue her way out."Even the way you argue is the same as the Origin Ninjas. Seriously?" Harvey smirked. "Right, I heard that the Origin Ninjas would leave the mark of a petal on the most private spot so that it was easier for them to identify each other. You must have seen it, right, Mr. Hoffman? Of course, I believe she'd definitely say it was just a tattoo that she had while she was in her youth."Unfortunately, I believe that Grand City has plenty of records. It should be quite easy for us to find the evidence we need. That's why, Mrs. Hoffman… Is there really a need to deny it anymore now that we've reached this point?"Mrs. Hoffman shuddered a little. She didn't expect that Harvey would be able to easily see through all her disguise. Most importantly, he even knew about the most damning evidence on her. In a situation like this, continuing with the argument really was pointless."You… You…!"At the same tim
Harvey said calmly, "You smell like one of them."Whoosh!Before Harvey could finish, Mrs. Hoffman immediately pounced at him. In midair, she waved her hand and threw a string of knives.All her blades were blue in color. They looked very pretty, but if they scratched one's skin, one could easily lose their lives if they weren't sent to the hospital immediately.Clarion was shocked when he saw what was unfolding. It was obvious he didn't expect Harvey's words to help them identify Mrs. Hoffman's real identity and forced her to attack.Still, that was quite normal. Thinking back about it, Mrs. Hoffman's calmness during this whole ordeal showed that she was not a normal woman.The power she suddenly showed was within their expectation, and they could understand it too.However, this exact revelation was making things more painful for Hale. It hurt him even more than finding out that his beloved wife sold him out. Clank! Clank! Clank!Harvey pulled up a small fruit knife and thr
