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
“That’s right, I heard a very important person had come to Buckwood. He arrived at the airport in the afternoon. The Zimmer family is truly lucky, maybe all of you arrived at the same time as him!”“It’s said that the heirs of the first class families such as the Naiswells and the Cloudes are all here to see that big shot. Unfortunately, they aren’t qualified enough!”“What’s this?! I saw Queenie York of the Yorks there as well. She seemed to have been waiting at the airport for several hours. In the end, she was unfortunate and wasn’t able to meet him.”“By any chance, did you Zimmers get to see him?”Senior Zimmer remained silent.Then, he nodded and smiled at the crowd’s discussion. “Everyone. After we learned about him, our family sent him an invitation here. We’re not sure if he would come to our banquet.”“It should be impossible. How could such a big shot come to this kind of banquet?”“It’s someone that even the Yorks couldn’t meet!”No one believed him.Senior Zimmer
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
When Jessica saw how Harvey glared at the assassins and gunners with dark eyes, her expression changed again. While she was considered part of Grand City and was also trained in martial arts, she knew she couldn't fight off so many people.She was not a King of Arms or a True Warrior. How could she stop an assault from so many sides? When the thought flashed through her mind, she held on to Harvey and said, "Harvey, if you can protect me and my family, I can tell you everything. Everything I did was ordered by Dan. Other than Dan, Emery is also part of this, and I have proof!"They have two objectives. They want you to become a permanent enemy of Sienna. They're going to even find a chance to make it look like Sienna ordered this and overtake her completely!"Harvey glared at the group and said, "I can understand why Emery wanted to overtake Sienna, since familial love is a joke in such wealthy families. But I thought Dan was courting Sienna. Why is he doing that?""Because Dan c
Jessica noticed that while Harvey was simply having a friendly chat, he had almost revealed all her activities when she was in Wolsing. She knew very clearly that once he told everything to the Wrights and the Yates, not only would they kill her, but they would also kill her entire family.Most importantly, he was able to easily deduce that Dan was behind her. That filled Jessica with horror. She was terrified by how direct Harvey was and knew everything that had happened.The last person that made Jessica feel like this…It was her employer, Dan. Just when Jessica was hesitating if she should sell Dan out, Harvey suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the corridor not far away. Several kids were running around in the corridor. It was quite noisy, especially in a quiet atmosphere like this.Many passersby simply glanced at the children and didn't give them another look. But for some reason, Harvey felt like there was something wrong. Then, he smelled something like tobacco.
"Or maybe you're thinking that after working a little bit harder for a while, you'll be able to leave the country and live under the radar. Then, you can go to Country A and live the life you want? Your parents have already been sent over, right?"No matter what happens, Dan treats those who work for him well. But… There's something I don't understand. You're willing to leave your home permanently just because he treats you well? You're willing to give him your undying loyalty just like that? Is it worth it?" Harvey asked as he put his cup of latte down on the table with a curious expression.The ordinary young woman shuddered slightly before raising her head. She gave Harvey a look and said, "Are you talking to me, sir? Do we know each other?"Harvey smiled. "We don't, but I'm pretty sure you know me. Or should I say… It's exactly because you know me that you went to Country A and persuaded Royce to come to Wolsing. Whether it's the 150 million dollars given to Lilian or lying to X
The next day…What happened to Geraldton Hotel was being reported on the news. It was about how an underground criminal empire in Wolsing was being swept by the authorities. Harvey didn't expect things to go so out of hand. At the same time, he now knew that no matter what the Yates of Country A wanted to do, they wouldn't be able to make any moves in the short term after what happened.There was another rumor that Kyros alone had borne the brunt of the crimes for the Wright family. The Wrights of Wolsing had removed his name from the family and that was enough to settle things. They were also not part of the media report.It was easy for one to see that a compromise had been reached by all the factions involved. Otherwise, if the Wrights of Wolsing really wanted to get involved, no one could estimate how this would develop.Just as Harvey was reading the news, his phone buzzed. Yvonne's stern voice came from the other side. "Sir, I've managed to investigate everything clearly.
Just as Harvey was thinking about who was behind this, his phone suddenly started to buzz. He picked it up—there was only one message."Interesting," Harvey said with a deep smile as he read it. "It's George. After his investigation, the one leading the task force has a really clean background. However, when he was at university, he was fully sponsored by a charity fund belonging to the Jeans of Mordu."After his graduation, the speed he gets promoted is also much faster than his peers around the same age. No matter how I looked at it, someone had been giving him a boost. However, is this the result of Mandy going over to Purdue Mountain? It doesn't look like Zayden, as the patriarch of one of the top ten families, wants to calm things down…"Feels like he wants to make things even worse. How is this going to benefit the Jeans of Mordu?"Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly. "At the very least," she said, "there are two ways they can benefit from this. Firstly, it's to clarify their
The next day.The estate in the third ring of Wolsing.Harvey had originally planned to go to Mordu at night when Mandy called him. She told him everything that happened in Geraldton Hotel had been settled. Zayden's side would make a move and demand a direct explanation from them for what happened.Harvey was quite shocked when he heard this.The leader of the Jeans of Mordu had been too discreet, so much so that this was the first time he heard about this name. But the problem was, Harvey didn't believe that the Jeans of Mordu who had been making things difficult for Mandy all this while would suddenly make a move without cause.However, Mandy kept on telling Harvey that everything was over. She would keep Xynthia in Mordu for a few more days. Once the dust had settled, she would then send Xynthia back to Wolsing.Hearing Mandy so confident with herself, Harvey decided not to say anything else. That being said, he still her Mandy that if anything happened, she must tell him imme
