Chapter 5007

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
“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?

    “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

    Reuben Jean stepped up before chuckling coldly at Mandy Zimmer.“Harvey York doesn’t know this, but I came with the Elder Group’s special privilege!“I’m invoking that privilege now!“I think you’re no longer suited to be the head of the ninth branch!“From now on, you must remove yourself from the position and let Elodie Jean take over!“You must cooperate with the asset transfer as well!“If not, you’ll have to suffer the consequences!”Lilian Yates shuddered after hearing Reuben’s words.“Harvey was the one who provoked you, Elder Reuben! That has nothing to do with us!“We don’t mind you doing whatever you want to him!“Don’t take your anger out on us!“More importantly, Mandy’s being supported by all the higher-ups!“You can’t just remove her unannounced!”Lilian knew that Reuben probably came to support Elodie’s rise to power.He was just making excuses for his actions.That said, Lilian had to fight back since she did not want her money tree to fall.Simon Zimmer

    Lilian Yates froze after seeing the sight. She wanted to scold Mandy Zimmer but knew there was no way to alleviate the situation.After all, she was simply powerless.Reuben Jean was using the authority granted to him once every year!Elodie Jean’s rise was as good as done at this point.Mandy sighed before leaving without saying a word.Xynthia Zimmer wanted to say something but quickly followed Mandy while she kept silent.Lilian and Simon Zimmer hesitated momentarily before bowing in front of Reuben and left.That said, their expressions were as horrible as could be.After getting inside the car, Lilian could no longer hold her feelings.“That bastard! It’s all Harvey York’s fault!“You already divorced him, yet he’s still here causing trouble!“If only he indulged Elder Reuben a bit more, none of this would’ve happened!“Mandy will still be the head of the ninth branch!“It’s all because of him!“He’s still trying to be the family’s live-in son-in-law?! Bastard!“Thi

    Harvey York froze.“Reuben Jean ousted Mandy Zimmer from her position?“Is he not afraid to make a mess of the entire situation?”Amora Foster quickly explained everything she knew.“Last night, Reuben used his special privilege, available once every year, for Elodie Jean to take charge instead of Mandy.“Today, he used his connections to try and keep the hundred-and-fifty-million dollar contract going.“Simply put, he’s doing everything he can to keep Elodie in charge.”“Did you agree to it then?” Harvey asked.Amora smiled.“Of course not.“Then again, Reuben was a once prominent figure with many connections. He managed to get a few of the elders from the Foster family to talk to me about this.“After telling them that you specifically requested this, they kept their mouth shut soon after!“But even though we already declined Reuben, he’d still find other ways to compensate for the losses caused by Elodie’s rise.”“It’s not that simple now, is it?“Mandy and I signed th

    “But no matter the case, the branch made a big accomplishment by shutting down the casino and apprehending the suspects.“From a righteous perspective, not only did the director do nothing wrong, he’d probably be rewarded for this.“No matter how unhappy Soren Braff was, he had no choice but to endure.“He even awarded the director a medal himself to calm the branch’s police force.”Harvey York frowned for a moment before chuckling.“That’s not good.“Blaine John and Darby Xavier will think we’re trying to crush their spirits!“Not only do they already hate me, the Braff family would probably get involved as well.”Amora Foster lightly nodded.“You should take care of yourself, Sir York.“The Braff family belongs to the government. Even though the situation affects both the John family and the Xavier family’s interests, they didn’t do anything wrong from the side of justice.“You’re different.“You’re completely alone. It’d be easier for them to go against you…”Harvey lig

    Kairi Patel lightly chuckled.“You’re falling a little behind, Sir York.“First off, an elder like Reuben Jean can never order a branch director like that around. After all, he knew full well just how he’d end up doing something like this.“The John family, the Xavier family, and the Braff family are involved. There’s no way that he’d be able to survive after this.“Then again, he still did this despite everything. This means that he’s extremely confident. He isn’t intimidated at all.“I also discovered that he has ten million dollars in his private account in Switzerland…”Harvey sighed.“That’s quite a lot of money…“A branch director wouldn’t be able to earn that amount his entire life.“Did you find out who gave that to him?”“Not yet, but I don’t have to anyway,” replied Kairi.“I have other information that might be of use to you…“The day before yesterday, the head of the Jean family came to Golden Sands.

    Blade frowned and said nothing when he heard Harvey's teasing. Not far away came the sound of spotlights being turned on. Giant spotlights immediately focused on their location from all around them, turning the place as bright as day. The Enforcer Division who just got out of the car narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the light."You're smart, and you're quite perceptive as well." At this time, one of the doors on the giant stone gate from not far away slid open, and dozens of figures appeared. The one leading them was a woman wearing a traditional garb, a fan in her hand.She looked like a seductress. Her eyes were filled with charm, and even just a glance from her was quite seductive. All the men and women behind her were wearing uniforms, bearing a stern expression. "Unfortunately, smart people normally don't last long here," the woman continued with a smile. Harvey shrugged. "I haven't asked you what this place is yet."The woman kept smiling. "Our place was quite

    The atmosphere within the car fell into absolute silence. Blade extended his head and opened the sunroof, allowing the fresh air to enter the car. He took in the fresh air, but no one could tell his thoughts.Harvey smiled as he once again closed his eyes and rested. To him, the destination for this journey meant nothing.Very quickly, the car drove until night. During this journey, the car stopped three times. They would always rest, have a meal, and get a toilet break at a temporary supply base that had been established beforehand. Blade had maintained his silence and said nothing.As for Harvey, it was life as usual for him. He would eat when he was supposed to and sleep when he had time to. It was so that everyone could maintain their energy.Harvey even took a hot shower in one of the supply bases and got to wash his clothes. The members of the Enforcement Division that kept watch over him looked at him strangely. It was obvious it was their first time meeting a criminal lik

    Blade was slightly stunned when he heard it and took in a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something he was feeling. Then, he said slowly, "The Grand City is also called the Grand City that Didn't Belong to the World. Those from the Grand City had been called many names. Wizards, alchemists, immortals… In a place like ours, we have rules and laws coming from bygone eras. After existing for so long, people from our city understand that only by following these rules and laws will we be able to protect the Grand City."Harvey smiled. "So, to you, even if you know the order you're going to execute is wrong, you'll still do it no matter the cost, right?""It's easy for one person to make a mistake," Blade said. "It's even easier for someone to make a mistake when one speculates. This is an order that was made based on the rules and regulations. The chances of it being a mistake are very low…"Even if I have some thoughts, I'd rather do as I'm ordered by Grand City. As for whether

    Half an hour later, Harvey got into the back seat of a Range Rover after he packed a few sets of clothes. During this time, not only did he have to console Yvonne not to do something rash, but he also had to arrange for something else. He even had the time to order some pasta through delivery.While he still didn't know what Grand City had prepared for him, he knew that he should get ready. He had to give it his all this time. Grand City was not an opponent he could simply ignore.Once he was in the Range Rover, Harvey took the best seat that once belonged to Blade. He even adjusted the seat so he could sleep for a while.The next morning, Harvey woke up and downed a mouthful of carbonated water. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him from the car window. The car was already driving through an ancient forest. But because the car's performance was just that excellent, he felt like he had been driving on flat land.After taking a look, Harvey looked at Blade next to him. Blade's

    "It's alright, Yvonne. Don't get mad. If you get angry because of something like this, then you've lost," Harvey said as he shook his head. He stopped Yvonne, who was on the verge of exploding."The people from Grand City have a way of doing things due to how they believe that they're better than everyone else. Not following their laws would ruin their reputation, so I'll go with them," Harvey said as he narrowed his eyes.He knew very well that this was a plot against him. It wasn't just about Durandal's death, it was also because he had offended Dan. The day Harvey became the representative, someone had already plotted against him. For everyone's sake, Harvey decided to make a move.While he wasn't afraid of Grand City, it didn't mean that everyone else wasn't fearless of Grand City either."Don't be rash…" Yvonne said, shivering. Harvey patted her hand a while and then looked at Blade's cold expression with great interest. "I can tell that you're not someone who lies and y

    "Firearms?" Blade smiled coldly when he saw this, and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "There's something you probably didn't know, girl. All of my followers here are martial arts elites, and they're wearing the silk armor that Grand City produced. This armor makes them untouchable by blades or the elements. If you don't do anything rash, it's fine. But if you do, your men will die. Here's my advice. Don't get all of them killed just because of one person."And then, he commanded coldly, "Do it."Eighteen elites from the Enforcement Division took a step forward when they heard his command, looking calm."I don't believe that you're not afraid of a gun!" Yvonne grabbed a gun and pointed it at Blade.However, Blade didn't react even when faced with Yvonne's madness. He simply walked over to her, held the gun in her hand, and then pointed it at his forehead. "Come on. If you don't believe it, give it a try. Pull the trigger and see if you can kill me."Yvonne's eyes widened when

    "You are as well-spoken as they claim, Mr. Representative," Blade said coldly. "I wish he didn't die, since I watched him grow up. However, the fact is, he's dead. We have enough evidence to prove that you caused it. So, let's not waste our time and come with us. This is better for all of us."Yvonne's expression darkened. "Blade, is it? I don't care who you are, but my boss never lies. If he said that he didn't kill that man, then this has nothing to do with him. Don't pin the blame on someone innocent!"Blade looked at Harvey icily. "We wish that he could be innocent too. If that's the case, that's an even better reason for you to come with us. Since he's being suspected, he should come to prove his innocence at the very least."Yvonne snapped, "You think very highly of yourself! You can make anyone the suspect because you say so? You can take anyone with you because you want to? Do you know that he's also the representative of the Country H Martial Arts Alliance? In some way, he'

    The security guards at the entrance finally reacted to what was happening. They started to call for reinforcements when they saw Yvonne's sportscar was stopped.The range rovers' doors were kicked open, and dozens of men and women clad in traditional Country H's garbs got out. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with a deep scar on his face. It was obvious he had survived a terrible battle against death once.He ignored all the security guards and quickly approached Harvey and Yvonne."Stop them!" Yvonne called out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car. "Who are you? What do you want?"The security guards from Sky Corporation quickly ran over. Dozens of people had started to gather around Harvey. In terms of numbers, they were finally able at an equal level.In truth, anyone from the other side should be able to easily defeat the bodyguards from Sky Corporation. Harvey, who knew this very clearly, also opened the door and walked to Yvonne's side. He looked at th

    After Harvey was done with the Ninth Branch and sent Mandy home, he left. Mandy had shown him that she cared, but there were a lot of problems between them. They didn't even have to look for it—Lilian's existence alone was a constant thorn in their eyes. Unless Lilian chose to stop being a problem, Harvey had no interest in becoming the Zimmer family's son-in-law again. After leaving the Zimmer family, Harvey wasn't in a rush to go home. Instead, he went to Sky Corporation's HQ. He was surprised to see that the light in the CEO's office was still lit.Harvey arrived at the door and saw a beautiful woman still working quietly at the desk. He had just wanted to go in before hearing Yvonne's voice. It sounded like she was on a call. "Investigate it. We have to investigate this no matter what! Even if he's not going to ask about it right now, we still have to do it. What will happen if Mr. York wants to blame someone?"After that, Yvonne hung up."What happened?" Harvey asked as h
