Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
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.

    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

    Naturally, Elodie Jean was perfectly calm at this moment.She knew there was no point in making things harder for Harvey York. Mandy Zimmer could even break off from Harvey, making him suffer alone.Mandy, on the other hand, would turn into a mere spectator.Elodie could not accept that.That was why she planned to drag Mandy down first.Reuben Jean raised his head before glancing at Mandy with a faint smile.“Mandy’s the head of the ninth branch, Elodie. You can’t just scold her like that.“Even if she’s an ungrateful person who doesn’t respect her elders, she does have the right and power to do so.“After all, no matter how weak the ninth branch is, the head’s status is still immense.”Reuben pretended to speak for Mandy, but his gloomy tone clearly meant he only wished to crush Mandy’s spirits.Even Lilian Yates, who would always run her mouth whenever she was angry, would not dare say a single word at that moment.Simon Zimmer looked the other way, as if nothing ever hap

    “Quick! Let’s show Elder Reuben our sincerity!“Show him how much we respect and admire him!”Lilian Yates and the others also came in a hurry, hoping that Mandy Zimmer would bring out something good to appease Reuben Jean.Mandy felt her head about to explode when she bowed.“I’m sorry, Elder Reuben. We hurriedly came, so we didn’t prepare anything worthwhile for you.“We’ll definitely get something for you after this, though!”“You disrespectful girl!”Lilian was trembling in rage. She was on the verge of passing out at this moment.“You’re disrespecting Elder Reuben here!“Doesn’t he mean anything to you?!“Is he not worth anything?!”Elodie Jean saw the opportunity.Naturally, she would not let go of the chance to ridicule Mandy.“I know about the ninth branch’s situation. I know that you’re also a stingy woman!“But didn’t you just get a hundred and fifty million dollar contract?“You’re clearly earning your fill and more, and yet you won’t even give something to El

    “You little bitch! How dare you slander Elder Reuben’s name?!“Do you want to die or something?!”Elodie Jean was screaming in righteous fury.Reuben Jean, who had been watching the show, showed a gloomy expression.“Slap her!”Slap!With Reuben’s support, Elodie was as confident as she could get.She stepped forward before swinging the back of her palm across Xynthia Zimmer’s face. Xynthia stumbled back, almost falling to the ground.“How dare you, Elodie?!” she exclaimed.Elodie coldly chuckled.“Am I not supposed to?”Elodie swung the back of her palm forward once again.Xynthia instinctively blocked with her hand…But at this very moment, Reuben suddenly stepped forward before slapping Xynthia.A loud, crisp sound was heard.Xynthia covered her face while stumbling a few steps back before showing utter disbelief.“Elder Reuben, you…”In her mind, a man like Reuben would not do something as he pleased.And yet, it did happen.Xynthia looked stubbornly as if she wa

    Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched. If Mandy Zimmer were to be taken out and robbed of her position, she would end up horribly.“This was our fault, Elder Reuben!” exclaimed Lilian with a pampering look.“We’ll do whatever you say!“We won’t complain! We won’t hold a grudge either!“Come! You should slap me first to console yourself!”“You must be tired after coming all the way here! You should have some rest! I’ll arrange a meal for you immediately!” added Simon Zimmer.“You’ll definitely be satisfied!”Simon did not mention anything about his daughters kneeling.Xynthia was a little dissatisfied but kept her mouth shut after Lilian fiercely glared at her.Reuben Jean shifted his gaze towards Harvey York’s casual expression with a hint of gloom.“Aren’t you the live-in son-in-law?“What’s the matter with you? Why are you just standing there?“You take everything from the family, yet you wouldn’t even kneel to greet Elder Reuben?!”Elodie Jean saved no breath to ridicule Harvey a

    “You little bastard!“How dare you speak to me this way?!”Reuben Jean was utterly enraged.“What is wrong with your family, Simon?!“As the head family of the ninth branch, you couldn’t even teach a damn live-in son-in-law properly!“You disappoint me!“At this point, I should probably hold a meeting with the Elder Group. Maybe we need a different branch head instead!“Letting ignorant and disrespectful people in positions of power wouldn’t benefit us anyway!”Elodie Jean and Aunt Witby’s eyes lit up.“That’s right! It’s about time we have a different branch head!” the two exclaimed.“Someone might just take advantage of others with all that arrogance!”Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched before glaring at Harvey York.“Elder Reuben is a prominent figure, Harvey! If you’re going to challenge him like that, at least leave Mandy out of this!”“Don’t worry. He’s just an arrogant and unreasonable man with some skill,” replied Harvey.“People like that can’t go against Mandy, let alo

    Lilian Yates’ eyes twitched after hearing Harvey York’s words.Harvey emphasized that he was already divorced from Mandy Zimmer and was not a part of the Zimmer family anymore…But Reuben Jean would not see it that way!“Shut up already, Harvey!” Lilian exclaimed.“I’ll rip your mouth if you keep yapping!”“Heh heh heh heh! It looks like many people have forgotten how I do things after being secluded for so long…“I didn’t expect someone would dare disrespect me in front of my face…”Reuben squinted while smiling faintly at Harvey. He was not angry at all then.“I do hope that you’re at least a little capable, kid!“If not, I must teach you to respect your elders!”Reuben casually waved his hand.Two towering bodyguards stepped in front, prepared to take action against Harvey.Slap slap!Harvey immediately slapped the bodyguards down.Then, he came in front of Reuben before tapping on his face.“What are you doing, you little bastard?!” Reuben exclaimed. He was unable to

    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
