The Zimmers exchanged silent glances as they listened to Zack’s spirited exclamation.Although everyone had their own greed and ambition… Senior Zimmer had been in charge of the Zimmers for many, many years.Even until now, he still wanted to remain in power. Who dared to disobey him in person?“Father, we too think that you are most suited to be the CEO!”Sean Zimmer was the first to stand up and support Zack.“Yes! As long as you continue to be the CEO, no matter what the new company is called, it’s still the Zimmer Enterprise!”“Grandfather, you’ve brought us Zimmers this far. Under your leadership, becoming a first-class family in Buckwood is within reach!”Senior Zimmer knew they were insincere, but their words satisfied him. “You all…”“I’m senile. I’ve always wanted to retire and enjoy a good fortune.”“But when I look at you youngsters, apart from Zack, none of you are capable enough!”“I can’t allow you to act on behalf of the Zimmers and laze around. Embarrassing
“Yes… It seems that there is such a rumor.”“Prince York wanted young people to be the new CEO.”“Prince York did mention newcomers bringing in a fresh perspective. He wanted to give us Zimmers a chance to prove ourselves. We can’t make any mistakes.”“We all truly support you, Grandfather. But is it alright to disobey Prince York like this?”“Prince York owns fifty-one percent of our shares. In other words, he can control our company now and in the future. Does it make any sense for us to choose the new CEO right now?”Senior Zimmer fell silent.The Zimmers pretended to look discomfited, as if saying all that was against their conscience.In truth, they were about to crack broad grins.How would they get a chance to rise if they let this old man remain in power?Now that this live-in son-in-law had come forward to make trouble, they just went along with it.This way, they would have the opportunity to become the CEO.After all, this live-in son-in-law could never be the CE
If Senior Zimmer couldn't not find a scapegoat to vent his anger, he would end up unleashing the full brunt of his fury on Zack.Zack knew his grandfather all too well.Whoever “suitable” at this moment would be extremely unlucky.Just then, his eyes fell on Mandy Zimmer.Senior Zimmer had always hated her, anyway. Letting her be the most “suitable” person would be great."Grandfather, I think Mandy is the most suitable!”“After all, she was the one who brought back the framework agreement! She deserves to be the CEO of the new company!”Zack blurted out, speaking without a care in the world.He must praise Mandy! The more he elevated her, the worse things would be for her.Zack’s intention was lost on the rest of the Zimmers. However, some of them contemplated his words and ended up agreeing with him.“Yes, Mandy is familiar with the people of Sky Corporation. So, it’s okay for her to be the new CEO.”“Besides, she has nothing to do all day long. She can’t keep being a rice
If Senior Zimmer absolutely had to choose the younger Zimmers to be the CEO, then he would certainly need to pick Mandy Zimmer.With that, he made a final decision. “Prince York hopes that the Zimmers would choose a young person to be the new CEO.”“To top it off, Mandy did make a huge contribution to the Zimmer family!”“Therefore, I think I’ll let Mandy be the CEO of the new company.”The whole crowd fell silent. Moments later, some of them mumbled out sparse agreements.Mandy was dumbfounded. Only now did she understand what Senior Zimmer wanted her to do.Did he want her to be the CEO of the new company?How could this happen to her?“Grandfather, she can’t do it! She’s incompetent. I don’t think she’s suitable!”“Grandfather, just choose any of us. We’re better than her! What right does she have?!”“Yes! The betrothal gifts from Prince York are for his future wife. She’s a married woman. How is that fair?!”Other Zimmers pointed and cursed at Mandy.They didn’t want Se
On that day, news about the Zimmer family’s election of the new CEO spread all over Buckwood.At the same time, the name of the new company was also decided.Silver Nimbus Enterprise!Since the new company’s main business was Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort, it would be named after the project.However, in Buckwood, the phrase “Silver Nimbus” could not be used casually. Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard and Silver Nimbus Courtyard both represented the Yorks’ properties.However, Sky Corporation allowed it.It was said that Prince York found the name Silver Nimbus Enterprise excellent.This instantly stirred up a lot of rumors.Many speculated that the person Prince York fell in love with was Mandy Zimmer’s younger sister, who was still studying in high school.That was why he took such great care of his future sister-in-law.While many discussed this matter in secret, none of them dared to be obvious about it.After Mandy officially became the CEO of Silver Nimbus Enterprise, she
The man born with a silver spoon was named Eddie King, a senior in high school who was also the same age as Xynthia Zimmer.He was the typical delinquent. His family was extremely wealthy and he was already driving a Porsche 718 despite his age.He was the one that organized the gathering for the night. If it weren’t for him, the other students would not be able to spend their time here.A place like the Dorsett Empire KTV would cost thousands of dollars just for one night!Eddie’s goal for that night was simple, and that was to get Xynthia drunk and then take a few exhilarating pictures of her. The young girls at school were afraid of this.Once they were blackmailed with the pictures, they would be obedient little girls!Xynthia was wearing the clothes that her good friend gave, with a small sling bag and an extremely short skirt. That get-up showed her snowy white skin with her legs stuck together. Eddie was practically drooling while he looked at the sight.Xynthia was not u
Looking at Xynthia Zimmer that seemed quite insecure at that moment, Harvey York immediately realized the intention of the so-called gathering.The delinquent students did not waste more time and planned to do heinous things to Xynthia.Only Xynthia was being foolish, thinking that she had only met an admirer.Previously, people pursued her back in Niumhi but the Zimmers were quite reputable, thus nobody would dare to go against them.But what kind of place was Buckwood? Scumbags and saints were mixed together here, even billionaires could not handle their own in a place like this. A local like Eddie King had two suites worth millions, why would he care about the background of a young girl from a billionaire family?“Go away, Harvey! I don’t want to go back, you are not the boss of me!” Xynthia screamed at him as she intended not to leave at all.Harvey frowned, he was ready to forcefully take Xynthia home.Bang!At that moment, the door of the box suddenly swung wide open.A
Clap clap clap…The gangster in front extended his hand toward Eddie King’s face and tapped it softly while putting on a faint smile. “Kid, aren’t you an arrogant one? You think you’re wild, aren’t you? How do you feel now? You still want my boys to kneel?”“Boss, it’s my fault! I was totally wrong. I’m the ignorant one!”Eddie was a man that knew his limits, he immediately gave in. The sound of his knees slamming the floor echoed throughout the box.It was important for him to show off, but it was of paramount importance to protect his life! Slap!The gangster in front slapped him across his face, then picked up a beer bottle on a table and swung it at his head. The sound of the beer bottle smashing onto his head had cracked his head wide open.Eddie howled in despair, but he only kneeled on the ground, unable to stand up at all.The box was as quiet as a cemetery. The careless young men before were shaking in their boots at that moment. Nobody dared to say a word.The stu
As the gigantic fireball flew straight toward Harvey, he could feel that even the humidity in the air had completely evaporated. The scent of scorching heat permeated the air. Harvey retreated again and again. With every step he took, he would kick a few pieces of rocks right at the fireball, trying to make the fireball collapse on itself.Thud! Thud! Thud!The ball of fire that was rolling toward Harvey exploded before it could get close to him in the end due to the surging of the air currents. However, all the surrounding plant life had been scorched into dust by the powerful heatwave, as if someone had detonated an explosion in the scene.Harvey's eyes narrowed when he saw what had happened. This technique had already surpassed what one would normally call martial arts. It was bordering close to fantasy. It was the first time Harvey saw a killing technique like this.And so, Harvey retreated once more and maintained a safe distance between himself and Ghostface before looking cu
Clang!The dagger instantly shattered into pieces and shot out in all directions. Some even sliced century-old trees in half. After shattering the dagger, Harvey's fist did not stop. It continued to crash forward inevitably, surrounded with aura.Ghostface's expression immediately changed, and a ghost mask instantly appeared on his face, his aura once again strengthening.Crack!But before his aura could reach his height, a crack appeared on the ghost mask, which was cut into two. With Harvey suppressing Ghostface's aura, his ace in the hole was completely useless and meaningless."Impossible…" Ghostface muttered as he could feel the cold sweat on his skin and the hairs on his arm standing up. He continuously hurled all kinds of weapons with his hands. Daggers and darts were thrown repeatedly, and his figure kept retreating backward, wanting to stop the attack with everything at his disposal.Clang!The sounds of metal being shattered rang again. His resistance was futile. In th
Whoosh!As one of the most outstanding elites among the Origin Ninjas, Ghostface had always been extremely decisive in his actions. Before he had even finished speaking with Harvey, a dagger had already appeared in his hand. His figure flickered, and the dagger went straight for Harvey.Harvey whipped his right hand out, as if he was already expecting Ghostface would ambush him, and a branch from a tree that he took parried Ghostface's dagger.Clang!As their weapons clashed with each other, a loud clang rang. Harvey's figure wavered a little bit while Ghostface's figure was flung into the air, and he landed where he started.Ghostface was shocked that Harvey could deflect his ambush with just a tree branch. With a cold smile on his face, the aura around him became even more intense. While Harvey was quite powerful, he himself was not that weak either. Those who had reached this stage had an indomitable fighting spirit.Harvey was also quite surprised when he saw Ghostface's batt
This moment caused Djinn's expression to twist in shock as he instinctively took half a step backward. The dread on his face was obvious. Who could expect that the attack he put all his might… An attack that was so terrifying did nothing at all.Before Djinn could regain his footing, the Swarm Queen's figure moved again, and the blade in her hand slashed.Djinn's figure paused as his footsteps froze, and fear spread in his eyes. That was because the Swarm Queen's blue blade had already pierced into his chest.Spurt!Fresh blood spurt out from his wound. However, the blood was not scarlet red, but a brilliant blue…"You…" Djinn's expression twisted when he saw what happened. He was not suffering… He could not even feel the pain. Then, his body slowly began to sway before crumpling on the ground. His life was slowly being drained away.Djinn seemed to remember something.He blew his final breath and said, "You… You're Belladonna Cult's Guardian… The cult's most powerful ace…"-
In Djinn's understanding, Neve was just your usual run-of-the-mill blue blood in Grand City. How did she know so much? How could she learn that they were coming and made preparations for them?Neve coldly answered, "Of course, I can't foretell what will happen. But what if someone wanted to do me a favor and told me to pay more attention? What do you think of the possibility of this person being the same person as the one who told you to come here?""Told me to come here?" Djinn's expression changed. "That damn fool Da…"Then, he suddenly realized what was happening. "You tricked me, woman?!""Tricked you?" Neve spoke with a smile. "I'm not tricking you. But, the person behind me has already foreseen everything.""The person behind you?" Djinn's eyes twitched again. "Just who is this person behind you? Is it her?""No. Sis Vaida is here just to protect me. Oh, right. Her name is the Swarm Queen."When hearing this name, Djinn's eyes grew wide. As one of the elites of Sky Plane,
To the Islanders, whether it was killed or be killed, it did not matter much. During the Warring States, their entire civilization almost became extinct.This was nothing at all.However, all the elites who accompanied Djinn were elites from Sky Plane. To think that they died terribly… How could it not make him fearful? Djinn thought that while it would not be a walk in the park to complete this mission, he still needed to put in some effort.But he never expected that all the people he took with him had all crumpled on the ground, dead. They were Kings of Arms elites. Whether it was the swordsmen from the Origin Sword Style or the ninjas from the Origin Ninjustu, they were all the backbone of their respective schools. Each one of them required a lot of time and effort to train.He did not expect them to all die in such a terrifying manner. All he had left to say was this woman in white was simply too frightening.But when faced with his question, the woman in white did not say an
This changed Djinn's expression. Then, he finally saw the name of the drama. There was only one word shown. Ambush.The moment Djinn saw that word, his expression turned extremely dark."Something's wrong! Hear my orders, everyone! Take your drugs and attack with full force! Kill Neve Foster!" Djinn was also someone quite decisive. Once he noticed something was amiss with the current situation, he did not retreat and even quickly gave his orders.At this point, they were no longer in a position to retreat. As he made his orders, all the ninjas and swordsmen pulled out the longsword by their waists. All of them were ready to pounce at their target.But no matter how strong they were, they could not stop themselves from making war cries, as if they did not care about their own lives. However, the expected battle to the deaths did not occur at all. When the Island Nation elites cried out, the white figure in the living room reappeared in a flash.At this time, the Island Nation elite
Shortly, a ninja in black garb appeared not far away in front of them. He was the scout sent to investigate ahead. The scout's figure appeared right before Djinn. He bowed and said, "Lord Djinn."Djinn coldly asked, "How's the situation ahead?"The scout whispered, "I've confirmed that Geoffrey has joined the Grand City's Seven Families Joint Meeting. Three-fourths of the Universal Sect's elites had gone to the meeting. I have also confirmed that the place Neve stayed in, a courtyard at the back, isn't that strictly guarded. Our people have already hacked the security cameras in our route. We can immediately enter."Then, the scout quickly took out his tablet and showed Djinn some videos and pictures. Djinn looked at them and could not help but exclaim, "Good. Very good. Then let's do this together. Everyone, remember that we must finish this as quickly as possible. Our objective is to kill Neve and ignore everyone else. Understand?"Djinn's tone was low and serious."Yes!" All th
"That should work," said Coco after considering it. "I never liked Neve for the longest time. If we can pin her death on Vaida and Harvey, there's no harm to me at all. But we can't use anyone from Parkerville, so I'll need to make some arrangements…""No need for that," Dan said. "No matter how weak the Fosters are, they're still one of the Seven Families of Grand City. No one can touch them if one doesn't give them their all. It's best to get Sverker or Ghostface to kill her. I've been sealing all the entrances so far and not letting the people from Sky Plane enter. I believe they're very willing to cooperate if I simply ask for a favor."Dan gave it a deep thought after a while. Then, he smiled and said, "Right, I'll personally inform Clarion about this. Telling him that his beloved is in danger. I wonder, will it be Harvey's fault again if Clarion went to save her without making any preparations and ended up dying?"Coco's expression was merciless when she heard Dan's plans, thi
