A slender figure walked in the hall.Yvonne Xavier.She was not wearing makeup, with jeans and a white shirt paired with glasses with a black frame and a ponytail.Even so, she appeared to be enchanting and alluring. Purity and desire exuded from her body. Everyone’s gazes were glued onto her.As soon as Yvonne showed up, the hall was immediately silent. While everyone was shocked, they could all guess what had happened.Maybe Yvonne was representing York Enterprise to criticize them?At the same time, a lot of men’s eyes lit up when they stared at Yvonne.She was indeed a stunner, too beautiful, her figure oh-so alluring.If it were before, the Zimmer family would not dare to even look at her.But that day was different; they were about to be a big family in Buckwood. They thought that they might have a chance to even get a woman like her.Zack Zimmer had shown an expression that was the most heinous. He had already thought about it. When he settled everything he needed to
Senior Zimmer’s face had turned slightly darker when he looked at Yvonne Xavier.“Ms. Xavier, what… do you mean?”Yvonne chuckled, then stared at Zack Zimmer that was standing near them.Zack trembled upon the sight; his face immediately turned ugly.“I thought CEO Zimmer, you said that you read the contract closely, apparently not. I’m afraid the contract you’ve read was the one that was modified.”“Since CEO Zimmer did not know about the exact details of the contract. I brought with me today Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association to talk to you about the details and consequences of breaching the contract.”Yvonne clapped her hands lightly.After a moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the hall with his briefcase.Senior Zimmer’s mind was blown immediately after seeing the man.This was Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association. He had a high status.For ordinary families and companies to meet him was almost an impossible task. He acted noble and virtu
‘What?’‘Not only that, York Enterprise owns the land, and we have to pay them back four hundred and fifty-six million dollars as compensation?’Everyone was shocked after hearing it. The sight of the Zimmers looking at Chairman Hawkins had all turned sluggish.“Impossible! How could this be?! I took a look at the contract a few days ago! Not like this! Zack, bring the contract to me!”Senior Zimmer was sweating profusely. If he had known about the contract details, how would he even think about selling off the Commercial Center Project?“Grandfather…”Zack Zimmer was showing a face full of guilt. He did show Senior Zimmer the contract, but it was a fabricated one, not the one that Mandy Zimmer signed previously.He really wanted to go to Buckwood because the project in Buckwood was already destined to fall into his hands.He had enough of the feeling of being chained up by Mandy in Niumhi. He wanted to show his capabilities and prove himself in Buckwood!So he fabricated the
Senior Zimmer stared at Chairman Hawkins leave the hall blankly, then his sight started to dim. He fell onto his iron throne, his expression constantly changing.“What are we going to do?”“Even if the family sells all of our assets, I don’t think we’ll get four hundred and fifty-six million, right?”“Speaking of which, why was the contract a fake? What’s going on?”“...”The Zimmer family was gossiping. Their sight landed upon Zack Zimmer with their faces full of anger.If the Zimmer family were to go bankrupt and ended up begging for food on the streets, Zack would be to blame for everything!Senior Zimmer took a deep breath, barely hanging on to his sanity. His finger pointed at Zack while trembling.“Zack… Tell me… You… You… Why did you do this?!”“Do you not realize that you would be ruining the whole family?!”Zack opened his mouth but could not bring himself to say anything.This was the true definition of might making right!At that moment, Zack could not think of a
“What do you mean shameless?! Don’t just spout out nonsense. Nobody’s going to think you’re mute if you shut up! What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to say anything you want here anyway?!” Quinn Zimmer said with a peculiar tone.Harvey York coldly said, “Since you have the capabilities to make up an excuse like this, why are you even afraid of being bad-mouthed by other people? Who was it that was crying and shouting at my wife to snag the contract when nobody could?!”“And now you forged a fake contract to deceive yourself and others, making a huge mistake, then you decide to shift blame!”“Can the two of you be any less shameless? You think grandfather is an idiot to believe something like this? Or do you think that he has Alzheimer’s and he would believe whatever you say?”Senior Zimmer was sitting on his seat while his eyes twitched.‘Screw you! Of course, I believe him! He’s my grandson! Why wouldn’t I?!’The problem was that the live-in son-in-law had already
“I disagree!” Harvey York stood up and roared.‘The live-in son-in-law again?! Does everything involve you?!’The Zimmer family all glared at Harvey, full of hatred. If it weren’t for Zack Zimmer’s past lessons and was afraid of Harvey breaking his head when he goes crazy, he would’ve started to throw his punches at Harvey immediately.“If you disagree, do you have another plan?” Senior Zimmer said while he stared at Harvey coldly.Harvey laughed.“Grandfather, do you know about the allusion of bringing the bramble and asking for punishment?”“And?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“I think that the CEO of York Enterprise does not need the money, the thing that York Enterprise took the most offense is not the termination of the contract but something else,” Harvey talked freely.Senior Zimmer got interested.“Then tell me, what does York Enterprise care about?”“Respect.”Harvey said with a stern face.“Does York Enterprise need money? No!”“York Enterprise is supported by the York
Harvey York said confidently, “Should be.”“Even if it doesn’t, at least it showed them the attitude of the family.”“I think, even if the CEO of York Enterprise was being unreasonable, he would surely cool down after seeing the vice CEO of the Zimmer family kneeling in front of his office, right?”“But what if that doesn’t work?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“Wouldn’t the honor of the Zimmer family be lost as well?”“Grandfather.”Harvey tried to persuade him patiently.“Even if there’s no way to fix it, at least we can show them our attitude!”“Even if we can’t fix it, we could still try to stall and buy us a few days for everyone to think of ideas, right?”“Besides, a certain someone had already kneeled before at the antique fair. One more isn’t that much, right?”Senior Zimmer was deep in thought, he was perplexed about the situation.“Of course, it might be even better if the CEO of the Zimmer family were to go himself.”Harvey took the opportunity.“If I could, I would go
Mandy Zimmer sighed, her expressions perplexed.She was from the Zimmer family after all, she only wanted to see the family safe.On the family’s brink of destruction, Zack Zimmer apologized. Her grandfather even had urged her; she saw no point in saying anything more.Harvey York secretly sighed, Mandy could have asked for more authority in the family during that situation.But Mandy valued her family more than anything else.Even if she asked for it herself, she might not even accept it.Looking at Mandy cooling herself down, Senior Zimmer stood up.“Zack, since things have been decided, don’t keep stalling. When you go this afternoon, remember to bring a lavish gift.”He was forcing Zack to go to the Yorks’ whatever it takes.Zack did not know how to feel, he only stared at Quinn Zimmer at that moment.The woman that was soon to be the most noble of all others did not even say a word.She was not married into the Silvas yet after all, she did not even know what Leon Silva
"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
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
