Lilian Yates covered her face in disbelief. She did not expect Harvey York to actually hit her.“You call him your father-in-law, yet you don’t acknowledge me as your mother-in-law?!” exclaimed Lilian as she gritted her teeth, glaring at Harvey.“Hit me again!“Come on!“Hit me if you’re that impressive!“You can have my daughter if you do!”Harvey frowned after seeing Lilian’s intense expression.“Are you really going to act like this, Lilian?”“You’re calling me by my name?!“Look at you, Harvey!Lilian chuckled out of rage after seeing him completely unfazed.“This bastard’s disrespecting his elders! He called me by my name!“Let me tell you something! I will never agree to your damn marriage!“If you two keep forcing it, I’ll slam my head right before your doorstep!”“Why don’t you do it with that instead?” Harvey asked, pointing at a stone lion statue.“I’ve been wanting to replace that for a while now.”“You…Lilian was shaking in rage. She felt her chest aching
Harvey York calmly snatched the phone from Simon Zimmer.“Elder Reuben Jean, right?“If you want to see Mandy Zimmer, then get over here yourself.”Then, Harvey hung up the call soon after.“You bastard! How can you just decide on that yourself?!“You’ll kill us all for going against Elder Reuben like that!“Surely he called us because he wants Mandy to regain her position!“This is Mandy’s chance!“Our family will live on the streets if Mandy doesn’t earn money!“You’ve ruined Mandy’s future again!“You need to pay the price for this!”In Lilian Yates’ mind, Mandy would gotten many benefits for returning even if she could not return to her position.She only wanted to enjoy the rest of her life in the massive villa…Other problems could wait.“You’re still being this naive now?”Harvey calmly smiled before looking at Mandy.“The Foster family’s contract has a trap. If you leave the Zimmer Enterprise, not only will the contract be void, but the company will also have to
Lilian Yates was not too thrilled about the idea.“What if Young Master John decides to help?“Don’t forget! Cedric Lopez is Elodie Jean’s boyfriend! That man is Young Master John’s friend!“There’s a huge chance that he’ll take action!”“He won’t!Harvey showed a determined expression.“Blaine John has no use for the Corpse Walkers anymore.“Besides, Blaine still has a headache about Darby Xavier’s situation. He has no time to deal with such a trivial matter at the moment.Mandy was confused. She did not quite get what Harvey meant by that statement.“You don’t get it?” Harvey asked while he glanced at Mandy.“The Jean family took action and got the underground casino swept up.“Darby was also arrested and locked up.“At the same time, dozens of ledgers there point towards Blaine’s involvement with the casino.“This is clearly a violation of the country’s law. This alone should be enough for them to stay behind bars for a while.”“What?!Mandy gasped with a horrible exp
“I’ve been unwell recently. I easily get upset and spout nonsense. Please don’t mind me!“I’ll bring out some thirty-year-old liquor for you later!“Treat yourself at home! Don’t hold back, okay?”After seeing such a turn in Lilian Yates’ attitude, Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer were utterly speechless.They already knew exactly how Lilian behaved, but they still had no idea what to do whenever she pulled something like this.She completely forgot about the two slaps she had to endure the moment she talked about money.Harvey heaved a sigh of relief.At least Lilian stopped running her mouth at this moment.Compared to her usual self, this was a thousand times better!***At the same time, inside the Zimmer Enterprise’s CEO office.Clang!An antique vase was slammed right into the ground.Reuben Jean was heavily panting. The discreet and menacing look on his face was utterly gone then.He furiously slammed the table before he screamed, “Bastard!“That damn bastard!“They
In the Ostrane One, Harvey York had already devised a way to restore Mandy Zimmer’s position.On the other hand, Lilian Yates brought out a thirty-year-old liquor. Her change in attitude was simply volatile.She even grabbed half of a leftover roasted chicken before painstakingly buying an entire table full of food to care for Harvey.That said, Lilian was utterly devastated when she paid for the meal.Mandy was speechless after seeing the sight.She did not know what to say when Lilian treated Harvey this nicely.Lilian forced out a smile when she put a chicken drumstick on Harvey’s plate.“I don’t know what your relationship with the Foster family is, Harvey!“But you need to make sure that you’re both on the same page!“If Mandy can’t get her position back, we’ll need the hundred-and-fifty-million dollar compensation!“And once she gets her position back, we’ll have to earn a few million dollars more to ensure she keeps it!“She’ll become one of the Jean family’s most pro
“Oh? Are you teaching me how to do things right now?”Lilian Yates coldly chuckled while belittling her husband.“Do you think I’m just as useless as you?“If it weren’t for me leading the family, you would’ve been sleeping on the streets already!“What? You don’t like an old hag like me anymore? Do you think you’re that impressive now?“Let me tell you something! Everything you eat and wear, I fought for them!“If you keep running your mouth, I’ll kick you out of the house right now!”Simon Zimmer showed a horrible expression.“The house isn’t even yours!”“It can be!”Lilian started to get irritated.“Harvey, I’ll give you a chance to pursue Mandy again as long as you give her the Ostrane One!“If you do it right now, I’ll even let you take her out for a movie!”Harvey felt utterly speechless.‘A hundred and fifty million dollars for a date, and all I can do is watch a movie with her…?‘What kind of movie is even worth that much money?’Mandy’s beautiful face instantl
“Besides, you think I’m the type of person who wants the money?“All I want to see is his attitude! A peace of mind! Do you understand?!Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer rolled their eyes. They did not expect their mother to be this shameless.Harvey York was speechless as well. His understanding of Lilian Yates’ lack of shame was on another level.“Believe me, Harvey…”Lilian was about to say more when the door was suddenly kicked open.The copper door tumbled out of the way before slamming right on the ground.Lilian gritted her teeth while feeling completely distraught.“How dare you kick our door down, you bastard?!“We’re from the Jean family’s ninth branch!“Do you want to die?!”A dozen people swarmed into the place, with a bald monk leading the group.‘Aung!’The people following Aung were the ninth branch’s prideful higher-ups.Reuben Jean’s trusted subordinate was the one who kicked the door down…Lilian gasped before showing a timid look.“Master Aung! You’re here!
“You humiliated Elder Reuben!“Threatened the branch head!“According to the house rules, you’ll have to break your own damn legs for this!“Are you going to do that yourselves? Or do you want me to help instead?!Aung glared ruthlessly at Mandy Zimmer.‘What a shame for a beautiful woman like her!‘If it weren’t for Elder Reuben, I would’ve dragged her to the bed as punishment!‘She’s a pure goddess!‘That’s not just an exaggeration!‘She’s really that good-looking!’The people from the ninth branch coldly chuckled.At the same time, they were showing utterly wretched expressions.If they were not related to Mandy at all, they would have also asked to have a taste of her.After all, she really was too beautiful.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates froze with disbelief after hearing Aung’s words.“You want to break Mandy’s legs?!” exclaimed Simon in shock.“Is that what I just heard?!”“What did she even do for you to impose this on her?“Even if she did do something, you c
Harvey was speechless when he heard of the identity of the so-called Mr. Lee. Why were all the people like this from Longmen? Since he had already retired, wasn't it better for him to just retire in peace instead of running around and interfering in things like this?When Mr. Lee saw the stupefied look on Harvey's face, he thought Harvey was shocked by the Longmen Association's reputation. He faked a cough, and put his hands behind his back. "Do you know the meaning of fear now, young man? I've seen plenty of talented young men in this world, but none had acted so arrogantly like you."Have you heard about the scion of the Longmen Association? He is a true prodigy, but even someone like him had to treat himself as a junior before me. Think about it… Do you really think you can act in such an arrogant manner before me?"Mr. Lee smiled haughtily, as if his status was that high and mighty.Elric reminded Harvey, "Maybe you've never heard of the scion of the Longmen Association, bu
Harvey stated his demand without hesitation.Elric's face darkened immediately. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What do you mean, Harvey? I'm telling you, it's rare for me to speak so good-naturedly with anyone else. If you're still stubborn, you'll have to bear all responsibility for what comes next!"Harvey smashed the cup in his hand in response, and tossed the pieces toward Elric. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanton. Your threats are pointless to me. And so, I will gladly bear that responsibility."Just as Elric was going to rage on, the old man next to him suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table. A deep handprint appeared on the wooden table. He stared at Harvey and snarled coldly, "Watch your mouth!"I've been sitting here for so long, and I finally have a basic understanding of you. In short, you're someone who likes to dance between the borders of life and death. Mr. Elric Stanton is the man who created Country H Commercial Group. He's someone well
The corner of Elric's eye twitched a little when he heard Harvey analyze things in just a few sentences and insinuate what he wanted. Harvey was indeed no simple man. Elric made the right choice not to fight him until the end.He didn't know if he could fully defeat Harvey once he chose to go against Harvey until the end. He might be the one who ended up losing everything he had. From the way Harvey acted, if he did anything against Harvey and the latter had evidence of it, things wouldn't end well for him.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric suddenly had a desire to completely eradicate Havery.Elric took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey and said, "Before we get down to business, I have to admit that young men like you are very rare nowadays. Not only did you do things cleanly, but you also have the skills and physical ability to do so. Despite your youth, you have already reached a height no lower than us old folks. I admi
Twelve o'clock the following day. Harvey followed the GPS and arrived at a simple cafe.Aside from selling coffee and tea, the cafe also served all kinds of delicacies in Wolsing. It also proved that whoever chose this place had taste.Harvey looked around the café and walked to the center. The entire cafe was empty, with only one table being seated at the center.Elric was there, and next to him was an old man in a martial arts robe. He looked quite impressive and could take a beating or two. Harvey didn't know who the old man was, but he was most likely a martial arts elite.After Harvey had slapped Elric last time, Elric probably learned from his experience and had to make some preparations when seeing Harvey. Unfortunately, such preparation was pointless. If Harvey wanted to, he could slap Elric as many times as he wanted.Harvey thought of Journi, and nodded at Elric. "Hello, Mr. Stanton. We met again. Journi had already told me about it. She didn't ask me to take the offer
Elric frowned before replying slowly, "After interacting with Harvey again and again, we have all suffered all kinds of losses. Even someone like Emery unexpectedly failed when he got caught by surprise. Everything tells us that Harvey isn't someone we can easily dispatch."Since that's the case, we need to plan properly and carefully if we want to get rid of him. There's no need to rush…"Pamela said coldly, "Once Hector's funeral is complete, many things within the Thompson family will be decided. After all that, it's pointless even if we can kill him a hundred times. Only by killing him before the funeral will I have the chance to become the leader of the family. Even if I can't, it will only be beneficial for us if we can give his head to the new leader as an introductory gift. We need to put in more effort, old man."Elric frowned slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "Well… There might be a chance, but…"After giving it a thought, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Jo
Harvey's tone was indifferent, but his words were shocking.Emery's expression changed slightly, and even the expressions on the faces of Janus and the others turned stony. Especially Janus. He knew well what kind of a person Emery was.Emery was capable of installing and igniting explosives under their vans, killing them after their little act. He was also capable of using their deaths to fuel his followers' rage against his enemies. Forget being of doing all this, he most likely had already done it."Enough! Who's throwing such accusations around?" Betty said icily as she scanned the crowd. "Mr. Emery won't do something like that when he's someone so generous toward his followers! How dare you throw wild accusations around without even daring to show your face! You…"Before Betty could continue, the vans Janus and his men had driven here suddenly exploded one by one in loud booms. The powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and almost everyone was knocked off their feet.Emery's
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
