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
Mandy Zimmer seemed down when she walked out of the hall.Harvey York swiftly caught up with her.“Dear, do you feel wronged?”“Wronged?”Mandy sighed.“I’m a Zimmer, no matter how indecent these people are, these trash, they are my family.”“I just think it’s a shame. Why can’t the Zimmers just finish the Commercial Center Project properly? Why are they even thinking of going to Buckwood?”“Once we finish the Commercial Center Project, the Zimmer family would be able to build a good foundation with the project!”“The Zimmer family could finally be ranked among Niumhi’s first-class families with this project. Why would they be so greedy?!”Mandy felt horrible. She had given so much effort to finish the project.She almost could not accept the current conclusion.But what if she couldn’t anyway?Could she have changed anything on her own?Impossible.“If it were you, how would you change it?” Harvey said after giving some thought.But there was something that he did not s
In the afternoon, at the CEO’s office in York Enterprise.It had been a while since Harvey York visited the company. There were quite a few contracts to sign.Harvey had not invested too much into the eight hundred million dollar plan that he had suggested at the moment.But he did retract all the bad investments.This way, York Enterprise would increase in company value compared to before. Of course, the rate of return won’t be too much.But this was the reformation period of the company. Harvey had accepted it.After signing the contracts, Harvey then leaned on his chair.“Go talk to the higher-ups in the company. We need to select some people to open a branch office at Buckwood next…”“Soon, most of our businesses would be at Buckwood. The people willing to go with us would have their pay increased by thirty percent...”Yvonne Xavier was shocked. She could not help but ask, “Sir, Buckwood is the York family’s home turf…”“On the outside, the company is affiliated with the
Zack Zimmer unconsciously wanted to go crazy, but he eventually held back and shyly said, “My apology is quite unusual. It would definitely make the CEO happier. Could you please ask for his time?”“Unusual? How unusual?” The lady at the front desk frowned.She sized up Zack and then realized.“I remember now, I heard that some vice CEO from the Zimmers had kneeled in front of people at an antique fair. Was that you?”“If you’re going to kneel for my CEO later, I guess I’ll try to contact him then.”Zack’s face was as dark as night.‘Screw you, Harvey York! It’s all your fault!’‘My bad reputation has been spread across all of Niumhi!’‘Thank goodness that the family is about to go to Buckwood. Nobody there would know about these embarrassing things.’‘When the Zimmers become a second-class family in Buckwood, I’ll come back to Niumhi and give you fools a beating!’But then, even the lady was mocking him with a resolve for revenge. Zack Zimmer that had come to give a humble a
The Zimmers looked at each other and shook their heads.They had no choice. York Enterprise was basically the master of Niumhi City, and was certainly competent enough to hold that position.Wasn’t Zack Zimmer touted to be extremely brilliant?So why did he end up kneeling in the hallway when he’s asked to?The Zimmers thought no else had any knowledge of this matter. In reality, the news had already spread throughout the whole city.“Enough!” Senior Zimmer raised his arm. “I heard that the new CEO of York was very satisfied with your kneeling!”“York Enterprise has the support of the York family. We Zimmers may be connected with the Silva family now, but still we’re no match against the Yorks.”“Although the CEO’s insulting you, at least you managed to ease the tension between both sides.”“After this, we must find a representative to talk to the people of York Enterprise. Maybe then, we’ll get a chance to reconcile.”“Zack, why don’t you go see them again?”Senior Zimmer ha
Things were rather chaotic during the past few days in Niumhi City.Everyone knew that after York Enterprise changed CEOs, the company terminated a lot of old and declining businesses. The new CEO even prepared fifteen million dollars to seek out new projects and collaborations.So many begged for these projects, only to be rejected right at the doorstep.Who would have thought that a second-class family like the Zimmers could successfully acquire York Enterprise’s investments and build a friendly collaboration with the company?The problem was, the Zimmers didn’t treasure this opportunity well enough.One of them must’ve been out of his or her mind to want to sell off this collaborated project. In the end, the dominant Yorks forced the Zimmers to compensate the finances in accordance to their signed contracts.The Zimmers tried to send their Vice CEO, Zack Zimmer, to reconcile. As a result, Zack was forced to kneel in the hallway for the entire afternoon.It seemed not only
Hearing of Senior Zimmer’s reassurance, Zack Zimmer was delighted. He bowed to Senior Zimmer, his back angled at a perfect ninety degrees.“Grandpa, as the eldest grandson of the family, my efforts are nothing! What I do is for a better future for us Zimmers!” “After we move to Buckwood, I’ll contribute more and work even harder for the family!”Senior Zimmer nodded and smiled in relief. “Good! That’s my grandson!”At that moment, everyone heard the sound of footsteps outside the gate of the Zimmer’s mansion.Yvonne Xavier, dressed in a suit, strode into the entrance.Instantly, they focused their gaze on her.A VIP like Yvonne actually came to visit them again! It seemed the CEO of York Enterprise was no longer furious with them. This was a happy occasion worth celebrating!“Secretary Xavier, we’ve been waiting for your arrival.” Senior Zimmer was all smiles. “Come in, come in!” The fact that Yvonne was willing to see them was proof of the Yorks’ impression of their family.
What?! A hundred and fifty million dollars?!At Yvonne Xavier’s light tone, every single one of the Zimmerswas shocked once again and began to shudder.York Enterprise was indeed extremely well off!The Zimmers couldn’t sleep for nights out of sheer panic regarding the one hundred and fifty million dollars.And now?The Yorks could easily produce that much money, as if they couldn’t care less about the amount!Even if the Zimmers sold their entire businesses and properties, it could only amount to a hundred and fifty million dollars at most. Perhaps even less!Still in shock, their gazes on Yvonne became more heated and desperate.With that amount, the Zimmers wouldn’t need to sell off their properties or projects anymore in order to move to Buckwood.Senior Zimmer wouldn't have to worry about anything. At the same time, he could preserve their business in Niumhi City!Senior Zimmer was so exhilarated, he almost got a stroke right there and then.The rest of the Zimmers we
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
