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
Even after she reached home, Mandy Zimmer was still in excitement.Before, she mentioned that she had never met Prince York in person.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates refused to believe it.Looking at the way Mandy reacted, they suspected their daughter might be the woman Prince York had kept in the dark.If it were true, they couldn’t consider forcing a divorce for the time being.They would have a cover-up if Mandy Zimmer conceived a child with Prince York.But what if Prince York hated the live-in son-in-law?The husband and wife pair was at a loss, to the point where their stomachs hurt.Despite that, they all enjoyed a grand time that evening.They even gained some respect for the Zimmers. Nobody would underestimate them from then forward.Right then, Senior Zimmer gave the family a call.“Simon, you don’t have to come to work at the Zimmers’ company from tomorrow onward.” Senior Zimmer said coldly. Following the plan, the Zimmers’ company would officially use the headq
Zack Zimmer shot his father a disdainful look. “Dad, can you stop acting like a coward?”“Problematic?”“What do you mean, problematic?”“Our collaborative projects with the Silvas are fixed.”“Plus, we’ve already got Brent Silva on our side.”“As long as we have Brent Silva, what use would Simon Zimmer be to us?”“What’s more, I heard Brent Silva was humiliated by Simon Zimmer and his family at the welcome banquet.”“If we don’t kick them out, we’d be the ones suffering in the end, wouldn’t we?”Hearing Zack’s words, every one of the Zimmers nodded in unison.Who did Simon Zimmer and his family think they are?They actually embarrassed Mr. Brent Silva. They didn’t want to live anymore, did they?“I also heard that everyone except their family brought gifts to the welcome banquet!”“When Prince York said he didn’t like gifts, they actually believed it!”“Ha ha ha…!”All of them burst into loud laughter.In the past, they thought Mandy Zimmer was the only naïve one. Who w
Mandy Zimmer pressed her forehead, frowning.Harvey York tried to comfort her and said, “Mandy, what’s the big deal? Right now the one in power is York Enterprise, not Senior Zimmer.”“Seeing how close you are to Secretary Xavier, she’ll definitely do something when she finds out that you’re fired.”Mandy glared at him. “How is that possible? The Yorks may have taken away fifty-one percent of the Zimmers’ shares, but why would such a big company notice or care about a family as insignificant as the Zimmers?”Harvey shook his head. “Who said that? Didn’t you talk to Secretary Xavier just now?”“Didn’t she invite you to attend Sky Corporation’s opening ceremony?”“When that time comes, if you’re not going, then who would have the right to attend as the Zimmers’ representative?”“The Zimmers’ business is now officially under York Enterprise. If you didn’t attend Sky Corporation’s opening ceremony, I wouldn’t be surprised if they kicked the Zimmers out!”“So you don’t have to worr
Senior Zimmer knitted his eyebrows together. “That’s not a bad idea. Mandy was the one who worked with the York Enterprise in Niumhi. She should definitely be the representative!”“Yeah, Grandpa! She ate and lived off our family for so many years, so obviously she should do something for us in return!”“That’s right! Right now she doesn’t have any status in our family’s company. Since we’re willing to offer her a job, she should be grateful and complete this task perfectly!”“Yes, she has to go. Isn’t begging what she does best? It’s her job, anyway.”All of the Zimmers spoke up in agreement.After thinking about it for a while, Senior Zimmer finally said, “Okay, Sean. You go over and ask Simon and his family to come back. Tell them they’d get their jobs back if they succeed making connections with Sky Corporation. If not, they’ll never return to the Zimmer family!”…Harvey, Mandy, Simon, and Lilian were having breakfast.Xynthia Zimmer had completed the process of transferrin
"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
