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
Without pausing to let senior Zimmer finish his sentence, Yvonne Xavier cut him off. “CEO Zimmer, they say curiosity kills a cat…”“For now, you should focus on the matter at hand. Time is gold, and I can only let you consider this for five minutes.”“You should discuss what you want to do. I’ll be back after five minutes.”With that, Yvonne turned around and left to give space for the Zimmers to mull over her words.Senior Zimmer’s face was dark.Right now, the Zimmers really didn’t have any other choice left.They could only pick between compensating four hundred and fifty million dollars and a piece of land, or losing their power over the whole family business.No matter which path they took, the choices were extremely difficult. Right then, Quinn Zimmer spoke up coldly, “Mandy, we don’t know what kind of relationship you have with York Enterprise’s CEO, but do you really have the heart to see our family perish?”“Yeah! Mandy, how could you be so cold-blooded?”“Mandy, th
Even though York Enterprise’s condition was quite unacceptable to most, at the very least, it could give the Zimmers a bit of time to relax.In fact, having the support of the York Enterprise would guarantee the Zimmers a good future in Buckwood.They shall only think about how to get their shares back after a while. Right now, the most important thing was to get through this hardship.When the Zimmers heard Senior Zimmer’s words, however, they burst into panic.“Grandpa, we can’t do this!”“That’s right! If we accept, we’ll lose the rights to speak on behalf of our family business!”“Grandpa!”“We’ll think of something else!”Right then, all of the Zimmers spoke up urgently.No matter how helpful the Yorks’ dominance would be for the Zimmers’ business development, the absence of fifty-one percent of shares would place the Zimmers firmly as subordinates under York Enterprise.“Enough! Silence, all of you!”Senior Zimmer bellowed, rising to glance around the room.“The decis
“Him?” Senior Zimmer snorted. He spoke on without pausing a single beat. “A live-in son-in-law like him obviously doesn’t deserve a chance! Moving to Buckwood is an important matter!”“But Simon’s definitely come along, and so will Mandy. Harvey York, I feel so bad for you!” Zack Zimmer spoke to Harvey in a mocking tone. “Your wife and her whole family are moving to Buckwood, leaving you all alone here in Niumhi City. Will you starve to death by yourself?” Looking at how Zack Zimmer was proud of himself, Harvey felt speechless.A dimwit like Zack wouldn’t understand that Harvey could’ve returned to Buckwood whenever he liked.Before Mandy could speak up for Harvey, Quinn Zimmer suddenly stood up and yelled, “No! Harvey York must go to Buckwood as well!”The entire Zimmer family stared at Quinn in disbelief. Was she out of her mind? She’s actually standing up for Harvey York!Quinn didn’t try to hide her intentions and added coldly, “Since Mandy has to go to Buckwood, this douche
Half a month later, in Buckwood.Today, the Buckwood airport was crowded with people. Esteemed families and enterprises had all arranged for their important executives to wait here as soon as they received the news.There were even securities armed with guns and bullets patrolling around key areas to prevent any mishaps from occurring.For the past half month, there had been rumours that a hotshot who visited Buckwood three years ago would be returning with power!The upper-class families of Buckwood found out about this matter earlier than most. Right now many were waiting for the arrival of this famous and enigmatic man, eager to catch a glimpse of him.Rumours had it that this legendary man had ultimate control over Buckwood three years ago. Yet at the peak of his power, he suddenly vanished into thin air. No one knew what happened after that.Some said that he died. There were also those who said he got backstabbed by his own family. Others believed that he had angered anothe
After some thought, Simon Zimmer said, “Old man, the Silvas have arranged a welcome dinner for us Zimmers to celebrate our first time coming to Buckwood. It’s rumoured that they have also invited a number of hotshots.”“Why don’t we send an invitation to this powerful man as well? It has to be a work of fate and luck for us to exit the VIP lounge with him on the same day. Who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky again this time.”Senior Zimmer grew ecstatic. “We can try.” If they could meet this man during their welcome dinner, the Zimmers would most definitely be considered powerful enough when they establish their entrance in Buckwood!It would certainly bring the Zimmers great opportunities, as well as a boost in status.Behind the crowd, Mandy Zimmer wasn’t bothered by the noises in front of them. She glanced backward worriedly and then murmured softly, “Mom, I’m going to walk to the back and check where Harvey is. He hasn’t come out yet…”“What?” Lilian Yates glared at her. “This i
It would be unthinkable for Harvey York to travel all the way back to Buckwood on an economy class flight. Instead, he booked an entire plane for himself.He couldn’t be certain if this had something to do with the York family, but the news that he was returning to Buckwood had been leaked by some secret sources.A gigantic crowd had actually formed at the airport, waiting just for him.Harvey didn’t rush to the exit and asked Yvonne Xavier, “Yvonne, have you checked about this matter?”Yvonne came to Buckwood a few days prior to arrange everything. She furrowed her eyebrows and replied, “CEO, your travels were a tightly kept secret between us. I wasn’t able to find out which sources leaked the news.”“But when your flight landed, Miss Queenie York sent me a text.”Harvey stiffened. “What did she say?” Queenie was the adopted daughter of the York family, but her status in the family was high enough that she played a vital role in what had happened the year Harvey was kicked out
Brent Silva initially had no interest in hosting this pointless banquet.If it weren’t for the fact that his family had forced this task on him, he wouldn’t have come.Yet at this moment, he felt he had committed to the right choice.Brent was a typical phony. While he fancied both sisters, Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer, he did not act like a greasy man. Rather, he put on a personable facade. He raised his glass to Mandy, whose face was red. He said, “Senior Zimmer, let me congratulate the Zimmer family on behalf of the Silvas tonight!”“The Zimmer family is the best of the best. Now, you are the leading figure in the business community in Buckwood. You’ll be part of Buckwood’s noble circle in the near future. Here’s to you, Senior Zimmer.”Senior Zimmer was so excited that his hands shook.Brent was from the Silva family!Not only did the Silvas hold a welcome dinner for the Zimmer family, Brent Silva also personally toasted to him. This was an incredible privilege.“It’s my hono
"She crushed her phone, right?" Harvey said as he looked at the evidence on the tray. "Since she needed to crush her phone, it meant there was something inside that had to remain hidden. Have you checked it?"Jesse shook his head. "My coworkers down in evidence did what they could, but this is a satellite phone. We can't check the record from the vendor. The one who destroyed the phone also destroyed the chip and the memory card. There's almost a zero percent chance of recovering the data from the phone."Harvey frowned. "Not only did she choose to die decisively, she even destroyed all the evidence. Which meant that everything she said to me before she died was meaningless. The testimony from the dead cannot be trusted."Harvey had also given his statement before this, hence why Jesse knew what Harvey was talking about."Are you sure the person behind this is Dan, Harvey? Or maybe, it's better if I said that Dan was the one that pushed all of this?"Harvey nodded. "That's what I
When the man leading the Dragon Cell members saw that Emery was willing to cooperate, he took a step forward and gave him a professional smile. "Hello, Mr. Emery. I am the captain of the Dragon Cell Task Force. You can call me Seven. This is my ID and other papers signed by the government."As you are now suspected of being involved in the murder of someone especially important in our country, we need you to cooperate with our investigation. I can also inform you that we have both evidence and witnesses. You may try to prove your innocence and do what you think is necessary, but you must go with us so we may have a good chat in Dragon Cell. If you refuse, you should understand that we have special privileges at certain times."The captain of the special task force pulled out the revolver he had with him and carefully put in a special bullet. When Emery saw this, the edge of his lips twitched. He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Since your ID and paperwork are complete, what else ca
Kyros' attention immediately turned to the screen linked to the security camera. He then saw men and women in uniforms with cold expressions right outside the door."Dragon Cell? One of the Four Pillars?" His face turned icy when they saw these people. He turned around and immediately slapped Royce in the face. "Look at what you did! Dragon Cell is here! We're both done for!"-At the estate belonging to the Wrights of Wolsing, a row of Toyota slowly drove in and stopped right in front of the estate's gates. While the cars weren't that lavish, the dark green color and the special plates explained their identities.The doors were opened, and dozens of men and women got out and walked calmly to the gate of the estate. At this time, whether it was the security guards at the gate or the defenders hiding in the darkness, they all frowned. Fear colored their faces when they saw the group appearing.The butler, who was quickly coming over to greet them, couldn't even say a word before he
Kyros immediately grabbed Royce by his collar, fury on his face. "You fool! Is your brain just for show? Why didn't you tell me before you did that? Haven't you realized that our place has been picked clean? That it took a lot of effort to get us out on bail? Haven't you noticed that there are some things even we can't control here?"Why don't you think it through when we're already in such a state? You even sent your people to kill Harvey out in the open! Do you really think this is your country, and everyone has a right to bear arms? Do you even know the consequences of using weapons in Wolsing?" Kyros breathed heavily. Then, he finally managed to let go of Royce."Wolsing has its own rules, and our country has its own laws! Countless emperors and ministers have fallen in this place, and countless dynasties have come and gone! You people are nothing in this place! Do you know that you can die without even knowing why if you're not careful?" Kyros went on, his expression was one
However, no matter how impressive Harvey's identity was, no matter how shaken Kyros was, Kyros didn't reveal it at all. To him, no matter how unbelievable Harvey's identity was, there was a limit to the influence Harvey could achieve. As long as he wasn't facing someone who was born into one of the top ten families or five hidden families, he would have the chance to win it back."If you ask me, I don't think that all of his identities are actually real. If he's really that good, why would he be unknown in my family's database?" Royce said coldly with his usual haughty tone. He couldn't even be bothered to look at the tablet as he sat opposite Kyros. "Regardless, now that things have reached this stage, my mission in Country H has completely failed. Rather than going back to Country A in disgrace, I rather fight him until the end and get some pride back for my family's sake. If we don't, forget about me… Even Emery's dignity will be all soiled because of us!" Royce said with a v
"Of course you can do whatever you want to me," Raiden said to Harvey with a cold smile. "If you can bet on everything and kill me here, then naturally a dead man like me won't be able to take the fall for Mr. Kyros and the others. But the question is…will you?"Harvey pretended to have a moment of realization when he heard that. "There's another way like that, I see. Why didn't you tell me? If I kill you directly, I'll be able to deal with this problem, right?" Harvey flicked his finger, launching a grain of sand that pierced through Raiden's throat.Raiden's body shook, his eyes filled with disbelief. According to his calculation, Harvey would obey Country H's rules no matter what. But now, Harvey seemed to be ignoring the country's laws…How dared he?How could he?However, Harvey didn't pay the dying Raiden any mind. To him, there was no need to give mercy once he started to act. Since the person behind this wanted his life and even used Raiden to disgust him, then he didn't
Rumble…The hammer's power was unleashed at this time, and it was hurled at the enemy before it with a surge of lightning. Harvey calmly slammed it with his palm.Bang!Every time they clash with each other, an unimaginably powerful sonic boom would occur, causing the entire plaza to be struck with catastrophe.Bang!The ninth time the hammer was struck down, Harvey's expression turned dark and he side-stepped the attack. He instantly avoided a bolt of lightning and then slammed his palm right into Raiden's chest.There was a bang, and Raiden's body trembled before he was hurled away immediately. The electricity around his hammer instantly dissipated, and he crashed into an electric pole like a ragdoll. He looked flustered. He struggled to get up and wanted to take out the Royal Flush he hid under his belt, but Harvey instantly appeared next to him and kicked him.Bang!Raiden was once again sent flying through the air, falling to the ground together with his hammer. His bo
Harvey still didn't relax and continued to make a roll.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The assassins with the Royal Flush continued their attacks. Very quickly, all the assassins wearing their military uniform fell to the ground, dying with a peaceful look on their faces.This also proved just how powerful the Royal Flush was. That weapon could kill even the True Warriors of legends. The ordinary assassins didn't stand a chance.At this time, Harvey had already confirmed the location of the assassins using the Royal Flush. He immediately headed straight to the entrance and raised the repeating crossbows in his hand. Then, he aimed on top of a streetlight right outside the entrance and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!The masked man standing on the street light with the Royal Flush in hand couldn't react in time. He immediately let go of the Royal Flush in his hand. A dagger slid out into his hand and he immediately jumped right on top of the street light, heading straight for Harvey, the dag
The assassin who opened the door of the fridge couldn't even cry out as he felt a pang of pain in his neck before crumbling to the ground without making a sound.All the assassins were stunned. Before they could reach, Harvey's figure appeared and the knives in his hand began to dance. Blood splattered everywhere as a few more people slumped to the ground noiselessly.However, these assassins were indeed quite skilled. When they were ambushed, one of them managed to escape the room to call for help. As he did that, all the assassins scattered around the café instantly assembled in this location."Fire! Right now!"As if they knew just how powerful Harvey was, the people outside didn't care if the assassins inside were still alright. The moment they were in position, all of them raised the guns and repeating crossbows in their hand and pulled the trigger as they aimed into the kitchen.Harvey's expression was calm. He kicked on a steel trolley outward, then immediately took a step
