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
“Come, Brother Chad! This way, please!”Boss Hart was only accompanying another man that day.Right when everyone was huddled together, they saw a man wearing a black suit and sunglasses walked into the box.“Covey… Covey Chad…”Eddie King almost peed his pants as soon as he saw the man.At best, Boss Hart was just a newcomer leader of the hired thugs.But Covey was different!Rumors said that the man had extraordinary capabilities. Nobody knew where he came from, with countless people serving under him.Even Boss Hart was just his humble underling.“Brother Chad, Boss Hart, all of them here are school girls! They are all cute and lovely! Hehehe…”The gangster in front was observant toward the girls.Boss Hart showed lewd expressions on his face and constantly shifted his gaze around some of the girls.Covey on the other hand had some decency left that resembled a boss, he did not even bat an eye at the girls and casually said, “Bring two of the best looking ones to my room
After feeling the students’ gaze all over him, especially Xynthia Zimmer’s, Eddie King felt like he gained an enormous amount of confidence in him.He unconsciously stood up, bowing and nodding.“Brother Chad, Boss Hart, my father talks about you a lot. He said that you two are literal heroes on the streets!”“Both of you are at the top of the line in your work. You wouldn’t make things more difficult for mere children now, would you?“Brother Chad, please don’t make me look bad today. Let bygones be bygones, is that okay with you?“It was my classmate’s fault today and I deeply apologize. I’ll ask my father to set a table and treat you bosses to a nice meal. How’s that sound?”Eddie showed a face full of pride after he was done with his speech.Despite his father being in the seafood business, he was already a millionaire, quite a number of gangsters needed him to provide opportunities and put food in their mouths.That was why Eddie thought that it would suffice if he used hi
The gangsters froze at that moment because of the demeanor of that man.Boss Hart flew into a despicable rage after a moment and said, “Go! Drag that man out here!“Showing off in front of Brother Chad. Who does he think he is?!”With Boss Hart’s order, the gangster that was about to caress Xynthia Zimmer’s thighs walked toward Harvey York with a tilted head and reached his hand toward him with the intent to pull him out.Harvey ,with a cold gaze, reached his hand out in response, casually grabbing the gangster’s wrist.Crack!With a slight twist, Harvey immediately dislocated the gangster’s wrist.“Aaaaahhh....”A terrible bellow echoed throughout the box.The sight shocked everyone present.Especially when they saw the palm of the gangster being twisted in a weird way. Cold sweat was dripping down everyone’s faces.‘How strong actually is this man?’Xynthia was also dumbfounded by this sight.She knew that Harvey had the title of madman in the Zimmer family. He would oft
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
Harvey looked at Daichi coldly. "I don't think there's anything between you and me that we need to talk about."However, Daichi said passionately, "But I believe we do. This is not a place for us to speak of such things, though. I have prepared a table for us at the best restaurant serving Island Nation cuisine in Grand City. I invite you to dine with us. How does that sound?"Not only can we talk about what's happening at the Island Nation, Sky Plane's scenery, the Seven Families of Grand City…as well as what's currently going on with Ms. Mandy of the Jeans of Mordu!"Clack!Harvey immediately grabbed Daichi by the throat. "I dare you to say it one more time. Are you threatening me?"Daichi smiled faintly. "Threaten? You must be joking! Someone like me doesn't threaten anyone. However, Sky Plane does have a deal with the Jeans of Mordu. They will be sending out a representative, who turns out to be Ms. Mandy."However, Ms. Mandy doesn't know much about the situation in Sky Plane
Hearing the conversation between Harvey and Clarion, Hale wasn't sure what to say. He let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Clarion. I won't waste my breath, then. Since you're willing to protect a cripple like me, I'll be in your care from now on."He took out a paper and pen from the bedside table and quickly drew a picture, then put it in front of him. "Mr. Harvey, this is the real location of the Chapter of Ascension. I know you're sincere in helping me. I can't repay you, so I can only offer you this. Please don't refuse it. This thing will only get me killed if I have it with me."However, if it's with you, you should be able to put it to good use. Consider it my goodwill. I… I hope you can accept this and give me a chance to repay your kindness."Hale then made a gesture and swore, "I swear, this is the real location where the Chapter of Ascension is hidden. This is not a death trap. Please trust me. Other than the Chapter of Ascension, there's also some
It was obvious that Hale's anger and sorrow had pushed him to the limit. He was already blaming Sky Plane for everything. Sky Plane had just earned him as a mortal enemy."My condolences, Hale." Harvey extended his hand and tapped Hale's shoulder. "The dead can't be brought back, so the most important thing now is to recover. Sky Plane is a difficult enemy."Clarion nodded as well. "Now that Susan is dead, Sky Plane will not let this slide. However, we'll need to get you a new identity after you recover. Only when you're safe and when you can live for yourself will you have the chance to have your revenge."I've just received news that everyone in Grand City knows who you are. All the other Sacred Lands will find out very quickly. In a short while, there will be countless people looking for you, for us. That's why you need to get ready. We're running out of time."When Clarion said that, the frigid light in his eyes glinted. He didn't need to send anyone to find out what was go
"No matter what happened, she treated me well all these years. Even if I were to kill her, I want her to die with some dignity. As for the trouble from Sky Plan and her… I'll give you an explanation you'll be happy with. Please permit me," Hale said, not caring for the wounds on his body even when he was kneeling on the floor.Clarion looked stern. If he were to bring in a spy like Susan, it would help him immensely in his career. If they got her into the interrogation room and asked her proper questions, they could get valuable answers from her. That was the only value she had left.However, Clarion also knew why Hale framed it that way. She was still his wife, even when she had already betrayed him. Rather than letting someone like Clarion take her away right now and live a torturous life that she wouldn't be able to tell day by night, he'd prefer to kill her right now. That way, Susan would be able to die peacefully.But how should he choose? Clarion was having a headache rig
