Harvey York casually said, “I don’t like working, I like my wife taking care of me.”Harvey seemed calm while Sean Zimmer and the others on the other side of the phone were boiling with anger.They had never seen a person that was so straightforward about being kept. Truly, a legendary kept man.“Fine, then tell me. What do you want?”Sean was still holding in his anger.He was afraid that his tone would come out as rude and make Harvey hang up the call again.“The conditions are simple. Whoever fired her has to fetch her on their own!” Harvey said casually.“Right, I fired her. I’ll come myself!” Sean swiftly said.Harvey chuckled loudly.“Uncle, do you really think that I’m an idiot?“If you had authority in the Zimmer family, would you even need to call me right now?“Let Senior Zimmer come by himself. If not, then we’re not coming back.”Do… Do… Do…Harvey’s attitude had become more unyielding.Sean looked at the time, it was already eight o’clock in the morning. He w
Mandy Zimmer had already gotten used to the Zimmer family having such double standards.But Senior Zimmer had rarely done something on his own volition during the time in Niumhi before, he would always maintain his absurdly high status and authority.Why did he decide to come on his own this time?It was unbelievable.“It’s for his benefit, how could he not come?”Harvey York smiled.Mandy looked at Harvey confused, then thought about the situation for a while.“Harvey, be honest. What did you actually do?”“Nothing I guess,” Harvey said.“Didn’t Miss Xavier recognize you that day at Prince York’s banquet?“She even invited you to attend Sky Corporation’s inauguration ceremony.”“If you don’t represent the Zimmer family, who else could have the right to?“Since Prince York was the one that established Sky Corporation, it would naturally be hard to talk to them.“That’s why I’m guessing that Senior Zimmer and the others met a sharp rebuff during a visit to Sky Corporation a
Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer had arrived at the Sky Corporation building right before ten o’clock.They were escorted courteously by the front desk lady to the office where Zack Zimmer and the others had been to the previous day.The person in charge of the office stood up immediately after seeing Mandy.He politely walked toward Mandy while smiling.“You must be Mrs. Zimmer. Please, come sit. What an honor it is for you to visit us!”“Would you like coffee or tea?Mandy was slightly shocked.The person in front of him wore a suit and leather boots, his hair combed straight.His wrist wearing a big golden Rolex, he seemed like an executive no matter how Mandy looked at him.Senior Zimmer had described the man as ruthless during Mandy’s car ride and constantly told her to be on her guard at all times.But she was at a loss on what to do about the man’s energy, she was not sure what to say at that moment.Harvey indulgently sat down behind her and said, “Get me some water, my
Mandy Zimmer had turned absentminded, she came back to her senses after a while.“Supervisor, does that mean the Zimmer family won’t have to go through the bankruptcy procedure?”“No need, no need. The corporation will even consider increasing our investments for you!”“But, there’s still a framework agreement here that needs your signature. We humbly ask you to come over again after three days!”The deputy director was extremely polite, the other executives were putting on smiles on their faces.After feeling everyone’s enthusiasm, Mandy smiled.“Thank you everyone for taking care of me.”Harvey York stood up and said, “Good work.”The deputy director’s body trembled as if he drank espresso, his expressions showing utmost content.“No! No! I’m just doing my job!”The deputy director was on the verge of kneeling with tears brimming in his eyes. What an honor it was for this man to praise them!***Mandy still could not come to her senses even after leaving Sky Corporation,
Senior Zimmer stared icily at Zack, frowning. “Do you think I’m not aware of everything you just said?”“I’ve been thinking about them all this time!”“You do realize that if it wasn’t for Mandy, we wouldn’t be able to reach this solution?”“What if they rescind the contract when we send another person to go over and sign it?”“Zack, I understand your concern.”“But this time, we need to be vigilant!”“This is a matter of life and death for the Zimmer family!”Zack’s mouth hung agape, but no words came out.Grandfather was right. This was a major issue, so he couldn’t act as wilfully as he liked.Still… did he really have to hand over all of his power to Mandy? Without getting to do anything else? If that was truly the case, what would his standing in the Zimmer family be from then onwards?Must he be under Mandy’s control even in Buckwood?Zack hung his head low, a twisted expression coloring his face.Senior Zimmer shot Zack one last glance before letting out a sigh, an
Emperor Clubhouse, Buckwood.Only the esteemed and the affluent could frequent this exclusive clubhouse.It was a particularly popular haunt for young rich heirs.Renting a private room for just one night could cost tens of thousands of dollars.This was where the rich spend their money like water without the slightest care in the world, a place the poor could only look at from afar. In one of the private rooms, Brent Silva sat at the end of a long table. He was smiling as he played with his phone.“Everyone, I’m your host for the night. None of you are ordering any drinks or calling any women over. Are you all looking down on me?”Sitting on his opposite were at least ten to twenty rich heirs. They were usually nonchalant and egotistical, but at this moment all of them bore similar strained expressions.In the past, they would’ve happily played around with women.In contrast, today they ordered only clear soups and plain water, and didn’t dare to touch the French red wine se
“What rule did Prince York break?”Someone asked with a hesitated tone.No one dared to speak up freely as this matter was related to Prince York.This was the man who established a corporation worth millions and billions of dollars, and had stood above South Light’s ceiling since three years ago. In their eyes, he was just like a god.Even though he was the reason they were going bankrupt… Yet, who dared to show even the slightest bit of resentment towards him?They understood their place. None of them had the right to do so!Watching them, all Brent Silva could feel was disdain.These people had been high and mighty all this while, eating and living off their families’ wealth without a care in the world. Yet, look how timid they became the moment they stumbled over an obstacle! Of course, he couldn’t possibly show his disdain. Instead, he continued, “Not long ago, a family by the name Zimmer just moved into Buckwood. Have you heard of them?”Some replied indifferently, “T
Brent Silva looked at Zack Zimmer and replied, “How can I be as smart as you? You’ve only been in Buckwood for a few days, but you already know how to build and use your connections well.”Zack bowed lightly and said, “I can’t comment on that, but even someone like me knows how deep the waters of Buckwood go. In order to survive, a strong backing is necessary.”“Using this opportunity to get connected with a family as esteemed as the Silvas is my pleasure.”“From now onwards I would gladly do anything Mr. Silva orders me, no matter what!”Brent curled his lips. “You’re someone who can sell off your own family without batting an eye. How can I trust you? Those are your close relatives!”“Mr. Silva, we businessmen will always chase after profit.” Zack flashed Brent a devilish grin. “It’s our true nature!”“Anyway, someone who doesn’t belong to the Zimmer family has nothing to do with me.”“Plus, after the plan succeeded, you’ll be able to get what you want, won’t you? What kind o
Janus ignored the handprint on his face, and said loudly, "You're right, Mr. Emery! Someone like me who can't even succeed on his tasks deserves to be hit!"Emery sighed. "Janus, since when have I punished you for failing your tasks? Have you ever slacked off when I told you to do something?"Janus replied decisively, "I've always given it my all when I perform my duties!"Emery said, "Since you did your best, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail. You will always be one of mine. Humans make plans and the gods laugh, after all. If I can't even take something as small as this, what kind of a leader am I?"However, it's also true that you have failed. It won't be just if I don't punish you for your failure. Those who succeed will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. Let's see… I own an estate in the Summer Isles, located in the P Ocean. No one has managed it for a long time now."My punishment for you and your men is that you must all head to the Summer Isles
"I am disloyal for not being able to bear my master's burden when I am a retainer. I am unjust for not being able to alleviate my master's misery when I am a follower. And I have simply made even more mistakes when I accidentally let news of this slip out, and all the media have come to witness this when I'm begging for forgiveness…"In other words, everything that has happened right now is because of me! I've come to beg for forgiveness when I'm scared of accepting my punishment because I've failed! And what I did right now has caused Mr. Emery even more problems!"I have sinned!" Janus yelled; his face was filled with sincerity, and each word he uttered was laced with pain. If Harvey hadn't known that Tyson and his men had left Janus and co there, he would have thought everything Janus said was genuine.When even Harvey could be deceived by such an act, everyone else believed everything that Janus had said. At this time, everyone who was kneeling yelled, "All of us have erred!
"Really? Is Janus that loyal to me?" Emery laughed. "If that's true, I won't let those loyal to me weep or bleed. Unfortunately, he'll need to suffer a little more. Some things just won't work as well until a bit of time passes. Go and hint at Janus that he and I will be a king and retinue…"…A short while after Harvey had met up with Vaughn, George sent Harvey a message. It included a picture of Janus and his men lying in front of the Wright residence, as well as many reporters appearing.George only wanted to report this to Harvey, but after Harvey had seen what was happening, he immediately made his way to the Wright residence. He looked at the chaos slowly unfolding in front of him with great interest.Moments after he had arrived, black vans appeared not that far away. Many powerfully built men in black suits got out of the vans with sorrowful expressions. They kneeled on one knee in front of the residence.Janus and his men had all been helped up after their injuries ha
While Harvey and Vaughn forged their alliance, Betty's phone started to vibrate as she was at the Wright Manor. Once she picked up the call and listened to the report, she couldn't care less about the rules and rushed into Emery's study immediately. "We have a situation, Mr. Wright! It's Janus and his men! Janus and the core members from his branch have all been crippled! While I have no proof that it's Harvey, I highly suspect that it's him or his men."The worst part is, someone left Janus and his branch in front of your estate! Many have noticed this, and some of the reporters are already heading this way. We need your orders, Mr. Emery!"Betty looked distraught. Emery's right-hand man had been crippled and left right in front of his residence. It wasn't a simple humiliation tactic—it was a psychological challenge aimed at him. Betty knew just how cold Emery was. She was worried he would make the wrong choice, which could lead to undesirable consequences.Emery, who was in
Even though Vaughn was making a fuss, Harvey paid the former no mind. He picked up the last piece of mini tart from the stand and stuffed it into his mouth. He burped and then narrowed his eyes at Vaughn, smiling. "Vaughn, why can't you understand something so simple when you're now one of the scions with the highest chance to lead your family?"You need to stay calm when something important happens. If you keep on yelling in front of me, other than showing me just how anxious and indecisive you are, it's completely useless," he said, picking up his cup of coffee."You have some understanding about me, so I'm going to be straight with you. I don't care what Hector did in the past, but ever since I was in Wolsing, he kept plotting against my ex-wife and even planned to pin the blame on me. I believe killing him is a fitting retaliation."I'm very busy right now. It gets very annoying when a fly is buzzing around me all the time. Of course, the official records stated that Hector at
Gate Pavilion, Wolsing.A tiered stand displaying an assortment of pastries stood in front of Vaughn accompanied by a pot of hot coffee, its strong fragrance permeating the air. However, Vaugn had no appetite at all despite the tasty snacks in front of him. Harvey, who was sitting in front of him, had his full attention.Harvey sat opposite Vaughn, enjoying the pastries and coffee. "The food here is quite nice, Vaughn. I wouldn't have come here myself. Normally, I prefer to get something from the streets. If it isn't because I'm expecting a guest like you, I wouldn't have booked this private room that needs a minimum spending of 1,000 dollars."The corner of Vaughn's eye twitched. He then said coldly, "Enough with the chatter. You should know that if I tell the Thompsons that you're here in Gare Pavilion, hundreds of men would appear to try and kill you."Harvey… Just how brazen can you be? How dare you kill Hector! Don't tell me you really think that as one of the top ten fami
The Thompson family manor used black and white as the main decorative colors.All the Thompsons, as well as those in charge of huge corporations and companies, arrived at Wolsong from around the world.They were astonished by Hector's death. However, it also opened opportunities for many ambitious family members. Originally, the one who would oversee the Thompson family had already been decided. All everyone needed to do was to become obedient followers. Now that an opportunity had presented itself, everyone wanted to find a way to rise.The Thompson family manor was located within an estate in the countryside. At this moment, Vaughn from the main branch got out of a Bentley sports car. Just as he was about to go through the entrance of the estate, a black Toyota Alphard slowly approached him and flashed its light at him.Vaughn frowned. He looked at the car plate silently.Very quickly, the Toyota Alphard stopped right next to him. An indistinct man, one who couldn't be recog
Harvey looked at the short-haired woman."Do I need to repeat myself? Emery's name means nothing to me. Alright, now that I'm done with Janus, it's your turn right now. Are you going to do it yourself? Or should I have my men do it instead?"Harvey then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. Very quickly, Tyson led his men inside and started to clean up the estate. After giving Harvey a salute, he then took Janus and the others away.Harvey could tell that Tyson and his men were becoming more and more professional."Sir, I've just received news that Emery had left Pamela's home half an hour ago. He's probably the one who arranged for Janus to be here, but according to his personality, he didn't care much about the details—only the results. And the result he will get this time is going to disappoint him very much," George said."Also, Hector's funeral is confirmed to be three days later," he added. He had entered the estate shortly after Tyson and his men left to report his fi
The bullet was going to hit Harvey right in the forehead, but Harvey couldn't even be bothered to look at it and simply raised his left hand. His index and ring finger came together. There was a screech as he caught the bullet with his fingers, smoke still surrounding them.He simply stood there, his expression still the same as before. Meanwhile, Janus' expression darkened."This is nice. Unfortunately, you can't bring out its full power," Harvey said as he looked at the bullet between his fingers. Then, he threw the bullet in Janus' direction.The bullet made a whistling sound as it glided in the air like a bolt of lightning. It was surrounded by an aura so powerful that it was able to consume the very heavens.The short-haired woman subconsciously cried, "Run, boss!"Janus had a very dark expression on his face. As an elite warrior, he knew very clearly there was no place for him to run in a condition like this. If he would get hit no matter where he went, then the only chanc
