Harvey York walked toward the door of the villa with a mocking expression.In the living room of the villa, Ella Graves watched this scene, not knowing what expression she should show.Such a scene had always only appeared in movies and dramas. She never thought Harvey would do this for her today.The initially locked door began to creak open, and Harvey walked in.Clang, clang…The baseball bat in Jensen Carlson’s hand lightly hit the ground. He then lifted it and pointed in the direction where Harvey was.“I’m here. Let her go!” Harvey said coldly.“Who said that I have to let her go once you’re here?”“Harvey, haven’t you figured out the situation? Now I have the final say.”Jensen looked at Harvey with a cold face.He could understand why this guy in front of him was worthy of Quinton York’s attention.He had already found out tonight that Harvey was just the live-in son-in-law of a second-class family in Niumhi.How did such a person catch the Yorks’ attention?“Then,
“Of course I’m not.” Harvey York laughed. “But the people behind you let trash like you come to test me. Isn’t he looking down on me?”“Do you know who’s behind me?” Jensen Carlson gasped.“Among the Famous Four of the Yorks, the most headstrong one is Quinton. He is also the one who fears me the most. If I guess it correctly, he’s the one that sent you here.” Harvey said faintly.Jensen’s right hand shook fiercely. Who was this person in front of him? Why could he guess everything correctly?Moreover, he could sense a great tolerance in Harvey.Even Quinton York never possessed this kind of tolerance.He seemed to have provoked someone who should not be offended.A person that even Quinton York only dared to test from afar, but not directly confronting him. He broke out in a cold sweat at this moment which instantly wetted his back. Jensen even had an intuition at this moment.If he offended Quinton, the Carlsons would only go bankrupt at best. If he offended this person i
In Buckwood at Silver Nimbus Courtyard.This was the monthly meeting of the Yorks.At the end of each month, the people who were sent to various parts of South Light Province would come and gather outside the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.Although Silver Nimbus Courtyard was known as a courtyard, it was the place where only the trueborn heirs of the Yorks could live daily. Other relatives who wanted to enter this place on any given day had to go through a series of applications and approvals.People with insufficient status and less influence were not even qualified to enter this place.There were many luxury cars at the parking lot next to the courtyard at this moment.However, all of them were Lexus which were made in Japan.This was a very low-key and somewhat cultured brand. They were initially unfit for making cars for top families such as the Yorks.Nonetheless, the Yorks’ ancestral motto was as the saying goes “the moon waxes only to wane, and water surges only to overflow”
Chief Carlson acted as if he had heard the holy decree. At this moment, he sighed and said, “Yes, yes. The second young master is kind to the Carlsons. It’s our fortune. However, we will often remember his kindness and will always remain loyal to him. We won’t make it difficult for the second young master…”Chief Carlson was trembling all over as soon as he finished his words.In the next moment, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He then slowly collapsed to the ground, breathless.Apparently, he had swallowed the poison before he came here.As the chief of the medical family, he did a great job in controlling the dose of the poison.Manager York slightly frowned and said indifferently, “Come and send this body back to the Carlsons for a proper burial.”“Also, let the Carlsons choose a new chief themselves.”Manager York turned and left after speaking.The second young master always gave credit where credit was due. However, the Carlsons had failed to complete the task
Quinton York raised his hand and looked at the palm of his left hand. The fate line and the career line crisscrossed and were densely packed like a chessboard.Although he seemed to have seen his destiny from above, Quinton still smiled and said, “I know that that person has helped many of you back then. In the past three years, even if you have transferred to my sect, only you know what you are thinking…”“You know how I have treated you. The things that he can give you, I can give you even more…”“If someone still wants to help him at this moment, then I will give you a chance to tell me now. I won’t pursue you and will let you leave…”“Please think carefully. Everyone has played a part in driving him away three years ago…”The last sentence struck them like thunder. Those who were initially hesitating had finally made up their mind at this moment.Someone unconsciously kneeled on the ground and hissed, “We’ll serve you loyally, Second Young Master. We always have and we always
“Don’t think I don’t know. You’re only afraid of the land that the commercial center is on being sold and losing all your standing in the Zimmer family!”“But have you thought about this thoroughly? The Zimmers are about to expand in Buckwood!”“When I have my family-in-law, the Silvas’ support, the Zimmers will flourish!”“If you stay obedient, I’ll feed you a little bit while we feast like kings. Rest assured...”Quinn Zimmer hugged her arms tightly, intentionally showing her chest curve while making a pompous look.“Yeah! Your father brought up the idea. You’re not going to oppose him and to interrupt our plans to expand in Buckwood, are you?”“If it weren’t for your father, we wouldn’t even need to study how to sell our assets!”“Right, it’s all because of you and your family. Can’t believe you’re still acting like the victim even though you’re the ones having the most benefits!”“If you ask me, we wouldn’t need to sell all of our assets, but Mandy’s project for the commerc
“Grandfather.”Mandy Zimmer did not even bat an eye at Zack Zimmer, but instead looked at Senior Zimmer with pleading eyes.“Grandfather, we had already poured our soul into our Commercial Center Project. It’s not worth abandoning it!”“Why don’t you give me a chance to try. If I can’t get any loans, then you can think of selling the project off.”Senior Zimmer was swayed a little by Mandy when he looked at her.Zack slammed his hand on the table and scolded her, “Mandy, do you even know your place?!”“To put it bluntly, you’re only the Zimmers company’s financial manager and the person in charge of the Commercial Center Project!”“My grandfather and I have the company’s operation under control. When did you have the permission to butt in?!”“Your father even urged us to expedite the plan!”“We’ve already had meetings to sell off our assets. If you butt in right now, who knows what’ll happen if you scare off all the clients?”“What if the project doesn’t help us pay off the i
Zack Zimmer was the first to stand up, then pointed at Harvey York while laughing at him coldly.“You worthless sack of trash, us Zimmers are talking about big things with regards to the family. What right do you have just barging in like this? If you leaked our family secret, who’s going to take responsibility for this?”Mandy Zimmer glared at Zack.“Don’t be excessive, Zack. Harvey’s a part of us too.”Zack chuckled.“Oh, Mandy, you’re so naive. You think he’s a part of us because grandfather won’t let him divorce you?”“You think him being a pet for the Naiswells and bringing a project back for us gives him a standing in the family?”“Let me tell you, the family’s different from what it was before. We’re only giving face to the Naiswells for now. If not, we wouldn’t even be doing the so-called project!”Zack then looked at Senior Zimmer.“Grandfather, I say we remove Mandy from her position and prevent her from participating in any other events that involve the Zimmer famil
"Enough. There's no point staying here. This place is cold and lifeless. Let's return to Wolsing. We can have something hot together. I also have something I want to talk with you about," Samuel said as he patted Harvey's shoulder. Then, Samuel wanted to take Harvey with him."Nah," Harvey suddenly said. "I need to send Mandy back home first. Maybe over a cup of tea with milk to warm her body and stop her from shaking. We can go out another time."Everyone was stunned after they heard what Harvey had just said. How could Harvey reject an invitation from someone important like Samuel? Just… Who was he?But before they could even recover, Neve suddenly grabbed a hand crossbow from one of her followers and pointed it toward Harvey. It was clear that she was still upset. The madness on her face was tinged by vengefulness and pain as she shouted, "I know you're more important than any of us, Mr. Samuel! I know someone like you can ignore all the laws in this world! But where's justice in
It was obvious that Lanny had no choice but to say that. Since if she did not do that, not only would she ruin the Bennett family's reputation, but the entire Grand City's reputation would also be tarnished.""Oh, right. You're called Lanny? And you're threatening me with your predecessor? Are you from White Peak by any chance?" Samuel asked curiously.Lanny gritted her teeth and replied, "That's right. I'm from White Peak, one of the Seven Families of Grand City."Samuel smirked and said, "I have dueled Ares Bennett three times, and he lost to me three times. If I wanted to, I could have slain him immediately the last time if I wanted to. That's why Ares has to call me Mr. Samuel whenever he sees me on the street and listens to me. You're just a greenhorn from White Peak… And you're pretending to be something special before me?"Samuel did not bother showing Lanny any respect. "Not to mention, everyone here has a good head on their shoulders. What really happened and what the trut
"It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Samuel!" said Lanny with a darkened expression."But just now, I heard something about fighting to the last man, and there were so many weapons being used here that were targeted against martial artists. Are you telling me there's a misunderstanding? Do I look like a fool?" Samuel gave a cold smile and waved his hand.A formless wave of energy instantly rolled against Lanny's men. Lanny and the others were shocked and used everything they could to block this attack, which took them by surprise.But it was useless.In just an instant, all the Grand City's youths did everything they could, but all of them had to take three steps back as they coughed out a mouthful of blood.Some distance away, some men with longbows and crossbows also grunted as they fell to the ground.In just a simple attack, the Forbidden Wasteland's defenses instantly crumbled.Perhaps this was what they meant by invincibility.No one from Grand City dared stand beside Harvey
The man who came wore a white robe with a cold expression. He looked around and spoke clearly, "I heard someone say my young master has committed murder. I'm here to see if any evidence and witnesses are saying so. If I find any of them are fake, I'll slay those and their families who claim so!"He said it casually, like an old man making a comment while sweeping the streets. However, everyone here could feel their heart skipping a beat.There was only silence.Even Ethan's gaze froze for a moment. That was because he sensed an aura from the old man, which was extremely close to the chief instructor.He was an elite!As for the rest of those from Grand City, they were all stunned. The old man was able to hover in the air. This could only be done when one had become one with nature! Could it be that other elites who were not from the Grand City had reached the same level?Even Lanny, who boasted that a great power supported her, could not help but watch, her expression pale and in
"You are really quite impressive, Ethan. But do you dare to go against the Ministry of Defense's orders openly? I suggest you better give your great elder a call. Or maybe wait for him to call you!" Lanny said as if she had gotten an ace in a hole."I'm worried that you'll accidentally cause a chain effect and lose everything," Ethan coldly replied as he stared at Lanny with a similar coldness in his eyes. To him, none of his leaders could compare with the importance of the chief instructor. But the problem was, he could not inform the great elder why he did this. That was why even someone resolute like Ethan could not help but frown.However, his expression quickly returned calm. "Looks like Grand City isn't as powerful. Not only can you do nothing to me, but you even have to use your favors and connections from the past to stop me. And now, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Harvey is innocent! So, my apologies, but tonight, I don't care who calls me… I'm not going to stop!"Then, E
"You have reasons?" There was fury in Lanny's eyes. "Then tell me, what reasons are they?"Ethan seemed disdainful. "With your status? You don't have the right to know what the reasons are."He did not make that up, though. Lanny really did not have the authority to know Harvey's actual status. "Alright, let's not waste our time. Tell your people to put down your weapons, raise their hands, and squat over there. All my friends here are very impatient. If both sides went into conflict and accidentally killed a few people…"Well. It's going to be categorized as a training exercise accident. We don't have to bear any responsibility for it."Ethan's words were calm, as if everything he said made total and natural sense."Ethan!" Lanny shuddered in anger. "Grand City and the Ministry of Defense have always kept a respectful distance from each other. Are you going to make Grand City your enemy just for this man over here? Have you considered the consequences and whether it was worth it?
Grand City was outside the usual system within Country H. However, the truth was that it was a place where all the Sacred Training Grounds congregated together. Whether it was Country H in its current form or when all the other dynasties ruled it, it had always been an untouchable faction.Not to mention that they were protected by the Seven Families as well as the other Sacred Training Grounds. If they decided to fight, the power Grand City could call upon could far surpass what others could have imagined.That was why Lanny believed they had a fighting chance even when they faced the legendary Sword Camp."Grand City's reputation really does precede itself. And you're really quite impressive yourself," Ethan said as he clapped his hands. "If it's someone else, they would be kneeling on the ground shuddering, right? Unfortunately, you forgot that we survived on real battlefields. We do not fear death. Besides the Chief Instructor, every soldier in this camp is a King of Arms! Even
Harvey slightly frowned. He was shocked that Ethan had arrived. He even brought 500 soldiers from the Sword Camp. Was he attempting to destroy the entire Forbidden Wasteland?The 500 soldiers immediately encircled the entire Forbidden Wasteland as Harvey calmly watched how things developed. All of them had a sword by their waist, and their right hand was at the hilt. While they had not pulled out their swords yet, they were exuding a malevolent aura around them.Harvey had trained each of them, and they had all gone to war with him in the past. When they saw that Harvey was completely unharmed, they were both filled with excitement and relief. However, because of their orders, none of them went to salute him."So, this is the famous Forbidden Wasteland of World City. It was said that the people who were imprisoned here could never leave. I wonder if the Sword Camp can leave this place in one piece?"Ethan, who was in his military uniform, jumped off from the helicopter in mid-air.
Harvey narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lanny. There was only disdain in his eyes. "You said that you're doing everything by your law… But in truth, you simply want to make things worse. Despite looking like an agent of justice right now, what is happening right now is what you wanted the most."I'm the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, which makes me the mayor of Grand City in name. Whether you want to interrogate or set me up, all of you must consider the consequences of your actions. But what if I was the one that did it first? That would give you a reason to attack me, right?"I have to admit that it indeed worked in your favor, Lanny. But it also showed me the truth about Grand City! Rules and laws that have existed since ancient times? All of them were jokes and excuses!"Blade listened to Harvey with a dark expression, as if his beliefs were challenged. Meanwhile, Lanny remained calm. She breathed deeply and gave a cold reply, "Stop wasting your breath, Ha
