Chapter 4996

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“They’re the ones in the wrong anyway!

“The Jean family will be a joke if we don’t show them what we’ve got!

“That said, you don’t need to relinquish your position either.

“The ninth branch is for you in the first place.

“Just do your best and forget about everything else, alright?

“Of course, I heard rumors of the family trying to get you married so we could take the ninth branch’s assets…

Zayden Jean smiled.

“Then again, that’s just nonsense. Those funds are too little for the family even to care!

“That’s why you should just focus on your work.”

“I understand!

Mandy Zimmer froze before nodding her head.

In her mind, she would not last long in her position anyway…

But after seeing Zayden’s stern expression, she still promptly replied, “Thank you, Mr. Jean!”

Then, Mandy left the place soon after.

Zayden was just too intimidating for her.

He had been quite gentle the whole time, but taking a few more glances at him was enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

    The next day, in the early morning, Harvey York woke up in Fortune Hall and looked through his texts before remembering this was the ninth branch’s board meeting.Harvey wanted to support her in secret after her departure from the Jean family…But after thinking she would probably be taken advantage of during the meeting, he could not just sit and watch.He quickly called a cab before heading to the Zimmer Enterprise’s office building.***Ten o’clock in the morning.At the CEO’s meeting room.There were around twenty people seated inside.Other than the board of directors, many major shareholders were also here.They were essentially members of the family, too. Some of them even came all the way from Mordu.There were only relatives of the family at most, but their resources were something that ordinary people could never imagine.When Mandy Zimmer finally came with her secretary to the meeting room, she realized her seat was already being taken over.Elodie Jean was weari

    “Oh?“So you do know!Elodie Jean faintly smiled while looking at Mandy Zimmer. She had no intention of letting Mandy off the hook.“Since that’s the case, why don’t you tell us why you’re late then?!“Don’t tell us you didn’t get notified for the meeting!”Naturally, Elodie did not even want to give Mandy a chance to explain herself.“Enough, Elodie!Mandy was utterly enraged after being constantly taken advantage of. The two were destined to fight till the very end.“Do you think I don’t know what today is?“The meeting was set to half past ten, and yet it got pushed half an hour earlier! I was just notified fifteen minutes ago!“The staff even told me that I was the one who set the time, asking me why I wasn’t here yet!“When did I ever give that order, Elodie? Or is someone using my name to do just that?“You better explain, or I can report you to the police!Elodie slightly changed her expression. She did not expect Mandy to go all out against her like this.“Besides

    Even under Elodie Jean’s dominance, Mandy Zimmer was still determined enough to retaliate.The confident directors and shareholders felt hesitant and sluggish. They were not able to make a decision even after a while. Elodie was utterly enraged. She decided to put the last nail in the coffin.She slammed a contract on the table before letting out a cold chuckle.“At the end of the day, you have no way to save the ninth branch!“But I do!“I have a fifteen million dollar contract with one of the top ten families, the Foster family!‘When I become the CEO and the head of the ninth branch…“I’ll be able to save the branch at any moment!“Everyone’s lives will be in good welfare!“I admit that you’re quite capable, Mandy, but don’t forget! Connections are also a part of a person’s abilities!“Without connections like mine, you won’t get any business even after yapping like your life depends on it!Elodie stood up with her arms crossed before pointing at Mandy with her nose.“

    “Whether you retain Mandy Zimmer as the head of the ninth branch is up to you!”Harvey York casually sat down on an open chair with a cold look on his face.‘The Foster family rescinded Elodie Jean’s contract?!‘They even gave Mandy a hundred and fifty million dollar contract?!‘The ninth branch will surely collapse if Mandy were to leave!’The people who came to their senses looked at each other, unsure as to what to say.Mandy froze before showing mixed expressions when looking at Harvey.She felt heartbroken.She thought Harvey set his pride aside to get the contract by treating Brayan Foster’s curse.“Impossible!“The Foster family belongs to the top ten families!“Their words are weighed in gold!“They wouldn’t revoke my contract with a statement like this!“Let alone make a hundred and fifty million dollar contract with Mandy!“What a joke!“Do you think we’re idiots?!After the initial shock, Elodie quickly returned to her senses before holding the contract in fr

    Not only was Elodie Jean planning to suppress Mandy Zimmer and take her position…She also wanted to make an example out of Mandy, ensuring her reign of the ninth branch and preventing anyone else from going against her.Slap!Harvey York immediately swung the back of his palm across Elodie’s face after stepping forward.“Aaagh!Elodie screamed in pain when she was slammed into the ground. She could not even crawl back up after a long while.“You hit me?!“How dare you, you bastard!“Security! Get this man out of here!”A few security guards stepped forward with fierce expressions, ready to take Harvey away.“You can’t be doing that right now, Harvey! Get out of here! I’ll handle this!” exclaimed Mandy.“Don’t worry. I can handle it.“If you’re going to take advantage of my woman before me…” Harvey said while squinting at Elodie.“Then you’ll have to pay a hefty price for that!“As for you people, you better think hard! Who do you think is your actual CEO right now?!“Yo

    Slap!The leading inspector slapped Elodie Jean in the face.“What do you think you’re saying?!“You’re the one stealing all of these priceless artifacts!“And now you’re accusing someone of tricking you?!“Nobody can do that if you just didn’t steal in the first place!“Are you doubting the police?! Or do you think that we’re idiots?!”Under the crowd’s shocked gaze, Elodie was taken away…***Half an hour later, inside the CEO’s office.Mandy Zimmer made some tea for Harvey York before showing an odd expression.“Why did you help me?“Didn’t you say I could start again after leaving the ninth branch?“You’ll only deepen my relationship with the Jean family at this point…”Harvey blew on his cup of tea.“I do want you to leave, but not when you’re discredited.“I want you to make the Jean family regret when you do.“Besides, we’re not remarried yet…“But it’ll be easier for you to care for me with all that money, right?” said Harvey jokingly.Mandy had suffered quit

    Harvey York squinted.“Ancient lineage? How ancient?”Mandy Zimmer froze before shaking her head.“I don’t know either. I only heard from the other branch heads during a family meeting.“Us branch heads have control of a tremendous amount of resources and manpower…“But to the first branch, we’re only servants and slaves.“We’re just tools for them to make more money.”Harvey frowned.“That’s all the more reason you need to become a prominent figure of the family.“One day, you’ll also be able to take control of the first branch.”Harvey hoped for Mandy to become the head of the family so she could finally be in the upper social circle…But judging from her words, the Jean family still had other secrets.If that were the case, then Mandy’s rise would prove to be difficult.Becoming one of the family’s higher-ups and one of its prominent figures was the only chance Mandy had at rising to power.Of course, Harvey would also support her if she wanted to leave the family.Bu

    Aunt Witby and Elodie Jean were naturally a part of the ninth branch.The call was too sudden. Even Mandy Zimmer was not able to return to her senses.“That can’t be a coincidence…” said Harvey York calmly.“Reuben’s here as soon as Elodie got sent in? He even asked for the entire ninth branch to welcome him…“He’s basically forcing us to bail Elodie out!“Impressive!“What a move…”Harvey sighed.“Then, I’ll get Elodie out,” he said, not wanting to make things any harder for Mandy.Mandy let out a bitter chuckle.“You don’t have to.“Mother already bailed out Elodie and Aunt Witby before calling me. She begged the police for that, proving the theft was just a big misunderstanding.“They’re heading to the airport now, and here we are…”Harvey did not think that Lilian Yates still had feelings toward Aunt Witby.But since the two were quite close, it was only natural for a like-minded person to be in distress.Along with the situation at hand, Harvey decided to let it go

    Harvey could not stop rolling his eyes as he could feel his head throbbing again, but he still suppressed what he was feeling. "Thanks, but I don't like anything too greasy in the morning. I prefer vegetarian if possible. You can put the deep-fried hoppers aside. I'll reheat it in the afternoon."Vaida blinked her beautiful eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "I see. We'll set it aside for now, then. This is a local delicacy in Grand City. You can't even buy this with money.""Thanks; I appreciate it," replied Harvey, feeling the pressure. He had no choice but to get himself a bowl of oats with milk and slowly eat it. Harvey was worried Vaida might add something special to the oats or milk, but after eating, he realized there was nothing weird in it. It was just delicious.If food also had realms, while this was not at the level of a True Warrior, it was definitely at the level of a King of Arms. That was something that Harvey found surprising."Right, Harvey. I heard you become

    "Oh, right," Geoffrey remembered something else. "While Harvey was the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance, his identity isn't accepted by the seven families of Grand City. In other words, he has no support in Grand City at all. Even if everyone recognized that he is indeed your man of destiny, it's difficult for him to become mayor. Grand City is no longer the same city as it was a decade ago."Vaida frowned and said, "Getting Harvey to garner support in Grand City is not difficult. Find a way to make him the leader of the Belladonna Cult. Before making him the mayor, we can make him the cult leader first."That way, not only can we make it easier for Harvey, but we can also disgust the hell out of Dan. He's been obsessed with taking over the cult, right? Does he really think he can become mayor after becoming the leader of two of the seven families? He's dreaming!"Geoffrey was speechless. "Things aren't as easy as you think. If you simply give the cult to Harvey

  • Harvey York's Rise to Power   Chapter 6943

    "Not to mention, during the decade that the ex-mayor had disappeared, the entire Grand City had lost their respect toward him and the Belladonna Cult. Even you have become someone who only existed in the fringe. While Grand City looks like it didn't have a singular leader, the Hierophant's prophecy was guiding everything."That’s why we must be patient. On the one hand, we needed to make Harvey accept all of this. On the other hand, we have to rebuild a solid foundation as we advance. We will make the entirety of Grand City understand that the Belladonna Cult is still the same cult that rules over all! Only then can we obtain everything he has left for us."Then, Geoffrey cleared his throat. "Even I can wait for so long. I believe you'll be fine, correct?"Vaida gave it a thought, but she still hesitated. It was good for her that someone like Harvey, who fit the prophecy, appeared. But the problem was… This was supposed to be done slowly. Trouble was brewing underneath Grand City. H

    "Kill him? Why should I?' Dan pulled out a long cigar and lit it up. After a huff, he puffed out a ring of smoke. "I've just received news that Vaida has gone crazy, and she's sure that Harvey was the man of her destiny. That way, once he leaves Grand City, she would die of depression or kill herself. Looks like I can become the mayor soon. The Hierophant didn't lie to me…"-There was no difference between the day-and-night cycles within Grand City and the world outside. When the sun finally set, Grand City was lit brightly, enticing everyone to enter.Harvey, who had been trying to send a sliver of his energy into Vaida, walked out of the room. There was a hint of fatigue on his face. He thought that it would be ineffective to do that. But he did not know why, after sending in his energy, Vaida managed to recover somewhat.Other than still being somewhat unstable and sure that Harvey was her man of destiny, she was slowly regaining control. Harvey felt a bit strange, but all he c

    Harvey suddenly remembered something when he saw Vaida returning to her deep sleep. "I heard that Grand City doesn't have a mayor right now. Then, what's going on with the previous mayor?"Geoffrey sighed and answered, "After the Hierophant prophesied Vaida as the third incarnation of Grand City's progenitor, he had left Grand City to find a way to deal with this. A decade… He's gone for a decade, and no one has seen him since then. That's why everyone believes he's already dead. That's why the seven families agree that Grand City has no mayor right now."Harvey frowned. "Then, what about Dan?"Then Geoffrey replied, "Dan is the mayor's final disciple. But the old mayor had only taught him for less than a year before leaving Grand City. According to the city's rules, if Vaida is killed, Dan will become the leader of the Belladonna Cult. And he will also naturally become the mayor of Grand City."Harvey nodded. He had learned some more things. Vaida was indeed part of the Belladonna

    According to Geoffrey, Vaida's condition was precarious. While no one was targeting her, she might jump into the sea on her own again at some unspecified time.A condition like that was very difficult to deal with. No matter what was torturing Vaida, Harvey believed that it might not be within his power to help her."Have you realized that Vaida seemed to be opening herself up to you in the final moments? She even fell into your arms," Geoffrey remembered something else. "Do you think her condition would improve if we simply continued with this? Of course, I know you're in love with someone else, so I am not imposing on you. But can you please stay with her as much as possible while she's in Grand City? This might stabilize her emotional state."Neve also nodded continuously. She could tell that Vaida's condition was severe and complicated. If Harvey refused to help, she might attempt to jump into the ocean again as soon as she woke up.Harvey was speechless and heaved a sigh. "You

    Half an hour later, in a lounge in the Foster estate.Harvey held Vaida's wrist with his right hand. After some time, he said, "Geoffrey, what's wrong with her? When I met her on the plane, while she was on the brink of going berserk, she could still control it. But now, the energy cycle within her was chaotic, and an outsider's energy couldn't easily enter."It's as if she's been losing control for many years. What's going on here? And how can you lie to her saying that I'm the man of her destiny? If I became her obsession or even her inner demon, it wouldn't do her any good to her martial arts training," Harvey said as he could not help but let out a sigh.Regardless of what happened, Vaida still fought with him on the plane. Harvey could not ignore what happened to her because of that.Geoffrey sighed. "There's something you don't know. Not only is Vaida the daughter of the previous mayor of Grand City, but the Hierophant also prophesied her to be the reincarnation of Grand City

    "That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som

    "No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
