“Get your invitations out already!” Brent Silva shouted, his tone aggressive.“We don’t need it.” Harvey York replied calmly.“Hahaha! Captain, did you hear that? They don’t even have one! He even said that they don’t need one!”Brent Silva laughed his heart out.“This live-in son-in-law does seem suspicious. Maybe he came in by climbing over the wall!”The captain however was still skeptical, and something seemed off to him.Yet because of his duty, he immediately let out an order to his subordinates.“Take these people to the security room. Find out what their deal is, then decide what to do with them!”Simon Zimmer and his family were frightened and horrified.If they were interrogated, they’d definitely be forced out of the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard!The rest of the Zimmer family might still be waiting outside.How embarrassing would that be for him and his family if they got kicked out just like that?Were that to happen, they wouldn’t know what to do.“Wait! Sist
The bodyguard captain was also looking at Harvey York with disdain. However, he understood that if he wanted to climb the ranks in the York family, he shouldn’t be too rash.He sized Harvey York up and calmly replied, “Alright! Let’s see if Manager York really does know you, live-in son-in-law!”Brent Silva was ecstatic.‘Looks like the next part of this play is going to get even more exciting!’A crowd now gathered around all of them. Simon Zimmer and his family all hung their heads down in shame.Embarrassing!Truly embarrassing!The captain swiftly sent Manager York a text.The next moment, his phone immediately rang.After hearing what the person said on the other side of the phone, the captain’s face immediately changed.His gaze fell on Harvey York, this time filled with fear.Even his knees began to grow weak.He couldn’t believe he was trying to cause trouble to the legendary…“I understand… Manager York… I understand…”The captain was trembling as he spoke.Br
“It’s simple.”“We might not have any invitations, but we came in through the security check.”“Since we got in, that means that there are no suspicions about our identity.”“Clearly, Brent Silva was the one causing all the commotion and disrupting the banquet.”“You all saw the crowd that gathered her just now, right? How terrible must that have been?”“I don’t know who this Prince York is, but I think he won’t like people disrupting his banquet.”“Not just Brent Silva. I assume even Leon Silva would get thrown out like that if he caused trouble here.” Harvey York said naturally.Simon Zimmer nodded in agreement.“That must be it. I did hear before that the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard has a lot of rules.”“In this place, nobody would care about your identity if you could get in legally.”“But if you cause a ruckus in here, you’d be thrown out immediately regardless of your status!”“I see, no wonder the invitations are so expensive!” Lilian Yates said with a thoughtful ex
Simon Zimmer’s expression changed. He added quietly, “Maybe I should get someone to bring gifts here. There should still be enough time.”Lilian Yates immediately frowned.“If we just start preparing right now, won’t Prince York think we don’t care much for him?”Simon Zimmer's face darkened even more. That seemed like a high possibility.They were being passive, it was truly hard for them to think of a plan.Mandy Zimmer stood up.“Father, mother. Stay here for now, I’ll go prepare us a generous gift. Nothing too cheap. We should be alright.”Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates nodded in response. At this point, the only thing they could do was to bring out the big bucks for a gift. Harvey York pulled Mandy’s hand and said, “Darling, I don’t think there’s a need for that. Prince York has seen and experienced every luxury in the world. He won’t care about gifts.”“Even if he doesn’t, it wouldn’t matter.” Mandy Zimmer said. “We should still do our part and show our etiquette.” Har
At the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.In the VIP room on the second floor.A silhouette stood with hands behind her back, gazing at the man below who was blended in with the crowd. Her beautiful eyes showed delight.Not far from her, a man who was playing chess got up and stood beside her.He too looked at the indifferent man standing among the crowd, complicated waves surging in his eyes.After a while, he started to speak.“Queenie, that’s your big brother. Aren’t you going to greet him?”“You poured your heart and soul out for this banquet, after all.”When he was finished with his words, he gazed at her quietly.He hailed from the impressive York lineage and the first of the four masters of the family, Quinton York.The woman before him was Queenie York.Quinton York’s expressions did not change much, but Quinton’s words had a deeper meaning. The way he spoke was as if he was teasing and testing her at the same time.She acted like she didn’t hear anything he said and continu
Yvonne Xavier’s eyes lit up and she smiled. She shot a discreet glance at a particular direction without attracting any attention.That man shook his head slightly, and her smile widened.“Everyone, I have something to announce.”“My CEO said he is no longer the heir of the York family.”“Calling him Prince York would be improper.”“From today onward, everyone can address him as Mr. York.”At this, the guests fell in an uproar.“Prince York was no longer Prince York.” What did that mean?Maybe the truth was truly just like what the rumors spoke of?Prince York had left Buckwood because he lost the battle for authority in the York family?If he did fail, then why did he come back?Plus, the York family went out of their way to organize a banquet just for him at the Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard.Manager York was not present, not to mention the four masters of the Yorks.What was all this supposed to mean?While everyone present made their own private guesses, Yvonne Xavier
When would Prince York arrive?This was the question everyone was concerned about.Yvonne Xavier flashed them all a pleasant smile.“Actually, the CEO had already arrived a while ago. But he is usually very discreet and doesn’t attend events like this. For him to come today is also a surprise to me.”Yvonne Xavier’s statement caused uproar in the guests.Immediately, they started scouring the hall for Prince York.Yvonne Xavier coldly added, “Everyone, what you’re doing right now is disrespectful toward my CEO.”“He ordered me to tend to everyone. So if there’s any problems, naturally I’ll be the one to handle it. If you need anything, please do let me know as well.”Simon Zimmer’s face changed after hearing her words.“We’re finished! She’s hinting at everyone to bring out their gifts. We don’t have anything, we’re done for!”Lilian Yates’ face had also darkened.Everyone understood what Yvonne Xavier meant as well. Of course it’s that they should bring out their gifts!“T
Simon Zimmer was perplexed.Harvey York was displeased. Despite his efforts, it turned out that his father-in-law truly wasn’t meant for big things.Without a second’s hesitation, he looked at Mandy Zimmer.“Mandy. If you trust me, stand up right now. This is a great opportunity!”Mandy Zimmer hesitated for a split-second, but then stood up.Instantly, everyone’s gaze shifted toward her.Yvonne Xavier saw her and was surprised as well.“Ah, Mrs. Mandy Zimmer.”“The CEO was rather disheartened, thinking he might not have another opportunity to work with you after he left Niumhi. Who would’ve thought we’d cross paths here?”“No wonder the CEO looks up to you so highly! I’ll report back to him in full detail about your respect for him.”Everyone present was shocked.Before, they didn't know how Mandy Zimmer and her family managed to sneak in here.Now they understood. She and her family already had connections to Prince York before.Maybe getting closer to the family would be
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
Tina was no fool. The moment she saw the sleeping drugs, she saw through everything. What Coco's secretary asked her to write was not some complaints but her farewell note. With that note and her death, it would be enough to drag Harvey and Vaida into the mud.Tina knew very clearly about this because she had done something similar, treating others as pawns. However, she would never willingly become someone else's pawn, especially when she had to sacrifice her life for someone else's hand on this game board.When she was writing the complaint halfway, Tina made an excuse about her needing to go to the bathroom to compose herself. But at the window, she already saw some people outside planting some evidence while removing their traces.She shuddered. She could sense the cold hand of Death around her throat. She immediately escaped through the window and immediately ran to her own car, leaving without looking back.However, Coco's secretary made his preparations as well. The moment T
"Let's not talk about whether they fail or succeed," said Harvey with a sigh. "From what happened last night, Dan was going to fight me until the end. Next, he was going to manipulate another group to try and kill me again. Unless I leave Grand City, give up on the Three Halls, and my identity as the representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, all this is never going to stop…"Vaida gave Harvey a thought and asked, "Then, what are you going to do next? If you want to leave, I can send you away."Harvey shook his head. "I haven't completed my objective for coming to Grand City yet. No need to rush. Not to mention, Dan is quite petty, which means that he isn't suitable to become the mayor of Grand City. This city is very important to Country H. While I'm not interested in becoming mayor, I wish the person who becomes the mayor is someone who can serve the country and its people."Hearing Harvey's words, there was a strange glint in Viada's eyes before she said with a smile, "If
The moment the name appeared in Sverker's mind, he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice. "You're… you're the Ministry of Defense's… living legend… The Chief Instructor?!"When Ghostface heard that name, he shuddered with an expression of total disbelief.Impossible!How was it possible!He was the scariest nightmare for the Island Nation and even Sky Plane itself!Harvey sighed and no longer looked at Sverker. Instead, he turned to look at Ghostface and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "Ghostface, let me ask you a question. What is one plus one equal to?"Ghostface instinctively replied, "Two…'"Ha…" Harvey let out a long sigh with a face of regret. "You and Sverker are the same. Both of you have the same problem. You know too much…"In the next moment, the longsword in his hand instantly shattered into fragments and shot in two different directions. A simple action managed to clear the location of any murderous intentions as Ghostface and Sverker both held their throat a
"It's almost my turn, right?" After Harvey parried Sverker's attack easily, Harvey made his move and jumped into the air. The longsword in his hand swung down.The most powerful martial arts in this world were the ones that were the fastest.This attack was not complex at all, but just one look was enough to strike fear into one's heart. Especially Ghostface. When he saw Harvey's attack, there was an indescribable fear within him. He had a feeling that, if Harvey wanted, he could easily kill him on the spot.And then, he also understood that when Harvey was fighting him, he probably did not even use 70% of his full power."Will of the Blade!" When Harvey saw the attack, Sverker's expression also turned into shock. He had practiced the use of a sword for many years, but he never awakened to the Will of the Blade. He did not expect that Harvey would have awakened to it despite his young age!Whoosh!Sverker did not dare to face such a simple but terrifying attack head-on. All he co
Sverker smiled at Harvey, as if he had sensed Harvey staring at him. Then, he turned to look at Ghostface once more. "If you want me to do something about this, there won't be any problems. But remember. After this, I will lead all the operations in Grand City. The Origin Ninjas will be my subordinates."Ghostface's expression darkened a little, but he promptly replied, "That's fine. I agree on everyone's behalf.""Good. Remember your promise."After that, Sverker took another step forward. He immediately landed and stood on the hilt of one of the longswords impaled into the ground. His hands were behind him, looking like a peerless grandmaster.He proudly looked at Harvey before chuckling and asked, "You're the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, Harvey, am I correct? I heard you're the most powerful man in the alliance. But now that I get to see you in person, you look quite ordinary. Even if you're strong, you probably don't have the brain power since you walk
After giving it a few more looks, Harvey ignored the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Ghostface's figure ahead.When Ghostface had reached about a few hundred feet into the forest, he suddenly raised his hand, and a small repeating crossbow appeared in his hand. He did not even turn around and immediately pulled the trigger at where Harvey would be.Whoosh!Harvey's expression was calm. When he saw the bolts flying toward him, he simply stomped his foot on the ground. The rocks fired upward and instantly deflected all the bolts.Ghostface's expression changed once more when his attack was deflected, and he quickly retreated. Ghostface was escaping increasingly faster because it was obvious that he knew he would die a terrible death if he ended up in Harvey's hands.Harvey narrowed his eyes as he followed Ghostface without rushing. That was because Ghostface's actions were too intentional, as if he was worried that Harvey would not follow him at all. That was why, despite Harvey
