“Simon, Lilian, Mandy. I think you should do this for us!”“After all, you’ve been showing off in all those friend groups and flaunting your connections with big characters all over the place.”“If you’re unwilling to help, what would happen to me and my child?”Aunt Anderson’s expression worsened after seeing the bitter looks on Lilian and the others’ faces.“Are you just going to watch my dear child turn into useless filth because she has no job?”“Can you bear that?”Nova reluctantly put down her phone that had just run out of battery, and scoffed coldly.“I don’t think Aunty and Uncle are powerless at all, Mother.”“Now that they’re all rich, they must be looking down on us poor relatives.”“They think they’re impressive just because they have a bit more money than us!”“Stop showing off in friend groups, then!”Harvey smiled after hearing Nova’s words.‘Whatever she said was so dumb that it was cute?’Mandy sighed.“It’s not that we don’t want to help, Aunty. We real
“Ha! You haven’t even tried anything, and yet you’re telling us that you’re doing your best?”“Is this what your help is supposed to look like?”Aunt Anderson laughed coldly.“If we weren’t relatives in the first place, do you think you have the right to help Nova?”“Besides, I’m from the government!”“I’m already begging you the best I can. I showed you respect, but you people just won’t accept it!”“You’re shameless!”Lilian froze; this was her first time meeting someone more unreasonable than her.She was completely furious, and gritted her teeth.“You wench! You’re saying that we should be honored to help you?!”“Father, Mother…”Mandy couldn’t help but rub her forehead after seeing that a fight was about to break out.“Maybe you should just help Aunt Anderson, Harvey,” she said after instinctively looking at Harvey.She remembered that Harvey brought out Wes’s personal card at the bank just now.This meant that he had connections with Wes.Judging from Harvey’s atti
Lilian didn’t know where Harvey picked the card up from…She instinctively took a glance, and was immediately shocked.“That’s right! That’s Wes’s card! Only people he’s friends with can have that!”“Heh, heh! Wes’s card?”Aunt Anderson got even more furious after hearing those words.“If your live-in son-in-law can get Wes’s card, then I should be able to get the Golden Sands’ first-in-command’s card!”“You people have connections with the Jean family—you’re basically rich for being the head of the ninth branch! How did you get so shameless after that?”“Not only do you keep spouting nonsense, but you’re even using such a lame reason to sugarcoat everything!”“You disappoint me!”“If you hate us, just spit it out! We won’t show up ever again! Are you happy?!”Aunt Anderson was seething with rage, and recalled the gift she had brought from a stall.She felt that she needed to take the purple teapot on the table away to recuperate from her loss.Lilian and Simon’s bodies wer
Nova felt very proud of herself. After all, Archa Corporation was being ridiculously generous to give her such a high salary!Judging from the salary, it wouldn’t be hard for her to get fifty thousand dollars per year!Aunt Anderson was still in disbelief.“Is that call really from Archa Corporation? There’s no mistake, right?”“Mmm. I’m sure of it! I met the manager before, too. She sounds exactly the same!”Nova’s pompous expression was blatant.“Those people really do have a good eye after all!”Mandy glanced at Harvey, a profound expression on her face.She didn’t think that Harvey had such a good relationship with Archa Corporation.A simple call was enough to deal with the entire situation.‘It’s not because of Kairi, is it?’She could barely hear the voice of a woman on Harvey’s phone before. There were only so many who had the company’s respect in Golden Sands, after all.Harvey chuckled bitterly upon sensing a spark of jealousy in the air.He couldn’t just say t
“You belong to the ninth branch! Wes has no respect for you people!”“What can a live-in son-in-law even do at this point? What kind of respect can he get?”“You don’t even know how to bluff!”Naturally, Aunt Anderson didn’t believe that Harvey actually helped with the situation.“You…”Lilian was shaking with rage upon seeing Aunt Anderson turn her back as soon as she got what she wanted.She didn’t actually believe that Harvey actually did this, but she couldn’t help but speak up.“Harvey! Tell her that you did it!”Naturally, she knew Nova had no right to be in Zimmer Enterprise with her meager abilities, let alone a place like Archa Corporation.That was why she thought that maybe Harvey and Wes knew each other.With everything that had happened in Flutwell, Lilian was sure Harvey managed to get support from some prominent figure.She disdained Harvey, but she didn’t want Aunt Anderson to take all the credit and trample all over her either.After seeing Mandy’s horrible
The night was destined to be busy. Lilian’s screams could occasionally be heard while she was gritting her teeth. Nobody was able to get any rest because of it.The next day, early in the morning. Harvey had a change of clothes as he was going to meet up with Kairi to talk about his geomancy shop.As soon as he got outside, his phone rang.Harvey picked up the call; Arlet’s shy voice could be heard.“Punk…”“Are you looking for a beating again?” Harvey calmly said.Arlet instinctively tensed up after hearing Harvey’s stern tone.“Do you have time?” she asked after scoffing coldly.“No. I’m looking for a shop here,” Harvey replied.“I have all sorts of those anyway…”Arlet was speechless.“Just tell me what you’re looking for! I’ll get so many shops to fit your taste, to the point you’d vomit.”“It’s fine. I’ll look for my own.”Harvey declined immediately.“Honestly! You’re turning your back on me after I did everything you wanted yesterday?”Arlet was dumbstruck.Harve
Harvey froze after seeing the mother and daughter pair.Nova should’ve been at work already, so why was she at the main hall?Right as Harvey walked in, Aunt Anderson was waving her phone with a righteous look.“You’re the manager of the personnel department, right?”“I’m Nova’s mother!”“She’s the talent you offered thousands of dollars to work for you, Nova Anderson!”“I’m so sorry! The entire family went to celebrate last night. We forgot to set an alarm after we drank so much!”“Please give Nova a pass! She’s a true talent, after all!”Harvey was completely speechless; the family was filled with idiots after all.They barely managed to work in Archa Corporation, yet they came this late…‘Do they actually think that they’re capable?’“Of course, you don’t have to worry!”“My daughter will never ditch work since she said that she wants to be here!”Aunt Anderson’s prideful expression was evident to everyone.“Right! Now that we’re here, you should at least welcome us, r
Aunt Anderson stood up furiously and stormed toward Harvey.“Why are you even here?”“Did your damn mother-in-law send you to follow us?”“Looks like the rumors were true! Your family’s about to go bankrupt, huh?”“How dare you try to steal our limelight!”Naturally, Aunt Anderson disdained the Zimmer family utterly.‘They didn’t even lend a hand when I needed them to, and now, they’re getting their live-in son-in-law to cling to my daughter when she has a bright future ahead of her?’‘What a joke!’“Leave! Leave right now!”Aunt Anderson was screaming in anger.“You won’t get a damn job here!”“Do you even know what this place is?!”“Without a proper educational background, you don’t even have the right to clean the toilets here!”“Do you think everyone’s just as talented as my daughter or something?”Harvey ignored the crazy woman in front of him. This was just too embarrassing.After seeing Harvey remain silent, Nova raised her beautiful face.“You hear that, Harvey?
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
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
