Mandy appeared awkward, for she did not know how to reply to that. But Angel looked at Kevin in confusion. Kevin smiled and said, “Angel, don’t you know, this live-in son-in-law came here today to buy a car? He has his eyes on the Porsche Panamera. Why don’t you help him pick the color?” Angel sighed and said, “Let’s forget about it. There are no green cars for the Porsche brand, so it’s hard to pick for him.” After she said that, she went over and glared at Harvey. She then said, “Loser! Don’t you see that Mandy is dating my cousin? If you have a tinge of self-awareness, just get lost immediately! Don’t you know that you’re quite an eyesore here?” Kevin laughed too when he heard that. At the same time, he glanced at Harvey. ‘This guy does lead a pathetic life. I heard that he even helped my cousin to wash her shoes. It’s a great shame for men!’ Harvey’s facial expression was slightly unpleasant. He knew for a fact that Angel had a sharp tongue. But it never occurred to him t
At that moment, Harvey did not even want to be bothered by Angel. He only laughed casually, looked at Kevin, and said, “At first, I do want to cooperate with you. But unfortunately, your behavior and manners here are really quite disappointing. I think that we can forget about cooperating.”Kevin broke into laughter. “You’re indeed quite amusing.” He then pointed at Harvey and said, “Do you even know what cooperation is? Have you read too many novels? Do you think that cooperation means buying a pathetic car? It seems like Mrs. Zimmer is not wrong in her perception of you. You’re truly a pathetic man who has such a high ego. You’re not much better than anyone when you boast about yourself.”“Let me be frank with you. If you’re really a man, hurry up and get lost. Don’t humiliate Mandy here. I couldn’t bear to see you like this anymore!” Kevin was filled with contempt. Angel, who stood beside them, was laughing ceaselessly now. ‘This live-in son-in-law has put great shame on men!”
Harvey York thought for a while and said, “I will go back later…”“Is anything the matter?” Mandy Zimmer was curious. Her husband—the live-in son-in-law had never gone out in the past three years. What matter could he have?Harvey thought for a while and said, “I’m going to work. What else could I do other than that?”“What kind of job?” Mandy was a little relieved. This useless husband was finally willing to make some progress after three years.Harvey shrugged and said, “I’m working as an assistant for the classmate who lent me the money. He returned to Niumhi recently. I came to help him buy a car just now.”Mandy suddenly realized and asked curiously, “What does he do? If he’s working in the construction industry, maybe he can collaborate with our family.”Mandy was a little anxious while speaking of this. She was afraid that Harvey would tell her that his classmate worked in the construction industry. After all, Mandy knew that she did not have any influence in the Zimmer fa
“Electric… electric bike?” Kevin spoke inadvertently. The corner of his eyes twitched, and a bad premonition surfaced within his heart.“Yeah, an electric bike. I initially wanted to send him there, but he rejected my offer.” Yvonne said, “When you meet Mr. York, remember to be polite. I have said a lot of good things for you this time. Then only he reconsidered investing in your automotive city. If you neglect him, I can’t help you.”Yvonne hung up the phone after saying this. She was still busy sorting out the documents.The beeping sound then came from the cell phone. However, Kevin felt the buzzing in his head at this moment.Mr. York, low-key, electric bike…Oh, sh*t! Could it be that it was him?Kevin was so scared that he was about to pee when this thought came to his mind. The next moment, he quickly ran to the lobby and pulled the little chief who had entertained Harvey just now. He said sternly, “Go, no matter what method you use, go and bring Mr. York back here!” The l
“Yvonne, please pass the message down. Terminate the automotive city project that has been discussed in the morning.” Harvey York said and did not even bother to look at Kevin Quinn.“Yes!” Yvonne Xavier responded simply.After putting this old-model phone on the table, Harvey looked at Kevin who was almost kneeling on the ground at the moment, and said with a smile, “Mr. Quinn, why are you bowing to me? I’m a worthless trash. I can’t afford it.”Kevin did not dare to stand upright. He laughed subserviently. “Mr. York, what are you talking about? Didn’t you say it just now? If I beg you to come back, I have to kneel and call you Father…”“Don’t do it. I’m not that unlucky to have a son like you.” Harvey waved his hand.“Yes, yes. I’m not worthy. I’m not worthy. I’m so ignorant before, but I know that Mr. York is a generous man. Please have some mercy.” Kevin’s face stiffened. Harvey was indifferent. He was flipping through the magazines on the desk at will.Kevin gritted his te
“No need. No need.” Kevin said. “Someone may think that something bad has happened here if you call the police. It may affect the business if we can’t explain it… I’ll deal with him. I’ll just give him some money to send him away. It was not worth it for this kind of person…”Kevin felt that the cold sweat was about to wet his shirt while he was talking.‘It’s entirely your fault! As Mandy’s best friend, you do not know about her husband’s true identity and even encouraged me to go after her. Are you so eager for me to die?’“Cousin, why are you so sweaty? Are you hot?” Angel did not notice anything and asked curiously.“The weather’s a bit hot, a bit hot…” Kevin said awkwardly.“Oh, then that’s fine. By the way, you don’t need to give him too much later, just thirty dollars will do… You can be rest assured about Sister Mandy. I’m here, I’ll surely help you get her!” Angel made a cheering gesture and then said goodbye with a smile. She did not want to go into the office anymore. S
“Yes, yes!” Kevin nodded quickly. He did not dare to think about the collaboration at this moment.After a while, he sent Harvey out of the showroom and saw him driving away in the Panamera. Then only Kevin realized that his whole body was soaking wet.“Mr. Quinn, I don’t understand why you…” The little chief looked puzzled.Slap! Kevin slapped her. “Do I have to explain to you whenever I do something? Remember! Whoever dares to spread even half a word about what happened today, I will kill him!”***After leaving the automotive city, Harvey saw that the time was a bit late. Thus, he did not return to the company. Instead, he went to the mall to buy something after sending a message to Mandy, preparing to take it home.On the other hand, Mandy felt a little shy when she learned that Harvey was going home. However, she also finished her work quickly and returned home.In the living room, Lilian was holding her phone, her expression was a little awful. Senior Zimmer had just ca
Lilian would know this person even if he turned into ash because he was the useless live-in son-in-law—Harvey! It was not that she had not seen a Porsche, but hers was the entry-level model, which cost about a hundred thousand dollars.However, Harvey drove the special edition Panamera where the price was about four hundred thousand dollars. Mandy’s car was only a fraction of that figure. Although the Zimmer family ran a big business, they were still a second-class family. It was difficult for ordinary people to pay so much money at once to buy a car like this.This car could be regarded as Lilian’s dream car. Hence, she could not react even when her useless son-in-law stepped out of the car.Harvey did not care about this. Instead, he walked in and greeted Mandy while carrying something in his hand. “I’m back.”Mandy was also a little dazed. She looked at Harvey and then at the Porsche outside, with a doubtful expression on her face.Harvey smiled and said after perceiving Mandy’
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
