“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?
The front desk lady was filled with disdain.“This is a big office building, mister. We have manners here.”“Do you know what’ll happen to you if you keep causing trouble like this?”A few security guards walked over, glaring coldly at Harvey.Meanwhile, he glanced calmly at the Rolex watch on his wrist.“Two minutes…”“Stop pretending already!” Nova yelled, laughing coldly right after.“How dare you order Ms. Pagan to come down here?”“Who do you think you are?!”“Even the prince of the Patel family or the eldest young master of the John family has no right to do this! Do you understand?!”Aunt Anderson cackled coldly, as if she had seen through Harvey.“You’re just trying to show off in front of us to flaunt your strength, aren’t you?”“Have you thought of the consequences of doing such a thing?”“You’ll suffer a horrible death if Ms. Pagan actually comes for you!”“Let me warn you! You should just leave before you embarrass yourself too much.”“You might just drag us
Aunt Anderson froze instantly; she never thought that her daughter actually got into the company with Harvey’s help.Without his help, Nova wouldn’t get that right in the first place.Safe to say Aunt Anderson, was as ashamed as she was cocky before.As for Nova, she never wished for Harvey to get her into the company.How was she going to show off to the Zimmers if that was the case?After all, she was acting all high and mighty just the day before!She couldn’t let go of that pride in such a short time!No matter what, she didn’t want to give up!“CEO Pagan! The manager of your personnel department called me!” Nova exclaimed.“Wasn’t it because of my looks, temperament, and talent?”“There’s no way I got in this company because of this useless live-in son-in-law!”Nova had a prideful expression, as if she was an actual elite.After looking at her, the front desk lady and security guards exchanged awkward glances.Everyone thought that Nova was being a little too conceite
Harvey turned around before sizing up Arlet.She now seemed a lot more mature compared to her time at home.She was still very much a pure and innocent-looking woman, but there was also a sophisticated aura stopping Harvey from doing whatever he wanted to her.After taking a few glances at Arlet, he shook his head.“It’s fine. Let me take a look at you.”“I need to look for a store after this.”Arlet almost broke a tooth after hearing Harvey’s indifferent words.‘I’m trying so hard to show my gentle side! Can’t you at least appreciate me a little?!’‘He’s blind! That’s for sure!’However, she quickly held her anger back and then slowly took off her jacket. She also undid a few buttons of her shirt.“I’ve been hurting right here while I was training this morning. I almost died because of it,” she said, pointing at her extremely deep cleavage.“Take a look here.”Arlet perked up her chest on purpose.Harvey was completely speechless.“You…didn’t need to do that.”“If your
Harvey’s expression worsened.“Why are you doing that? What are you trying to say here?” he asked.“Do I look like the kind of person who wants that to happen to you?”“Aren’t you supposed to heal me?” Arlet shot back. A timid expression colored her face.“I’m ready for you to hit me however you want!”“You can do whatever you want as long as I’m healed!”“I like it when you hit harder!”“You…” Harvey was startled. “You’re not actually a masochist, are you?”Harvey stared at her with a bemused look. Then, he swung his palm forward.“Who told you I was going to heal you that way?”“Last time, I was just clearing your veins to relieve your headaches!”“This time, I’ll have to deal with the problem once and for all through the martial arts you’ve been practicing.”“I need you to tell me what style you’ve been training in to see where the problem is.”After hearing Harvey’s words, Arlet’s face turned as red as a traffic light.She quickly retracted from him and went to ru
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
