Without even looking at her, Harvey York said, “Excuse me, I’m here to buy a house.”“What? You’re here to buy a house?” The real estate agent began sizing Harvey up with her eyes.She thought her ears were having problems.Apart from the fact that a young and pretty girl was tagging behind him, this man didn’t look like someone who could afford the properties here.She took in a deep breath and said with a serious tone, “Sir, do you know how much the estates here cost? Our designed houses are at least thirty-thousand dollars per square meter.”“Plus, our property sizes range from at minimum five hundred square metres. Any of them costs at least fifteen million dollars!”“Are you sure you’re really here to buy a house?”Harvey nodded nonchalantly. He was already reading the details and information of the houses on display.Xynthia Zimmer couldn’t stand the real estate agent’s arrogance and blurted, “Didn’t we say we’re here to buy a house? Stop talking nonsense already, won’t yo
Despite her complicated emotions, Tara felt more excited than ever.The reason she had been so determined to work hard was so that she could one day stand before Harvey York and tell him:You looked down on me before. Now, I’m standing at a level you can’t even climb up to!Even when three years had passed after graduation, she never had the chance to do so. Who knew the opportunity would come by knocking today!“My old batch mate, when did you come to Buckwood?”Tara Lewis scrutinized Harvey York from top to bottom as she asked.Harvey replied, “Half a month ago…” “After graduating for so long, I’ve been hearing a lot of strange rumours. It seems that you’re now a live-in son-in-law for a second-class family from Niumhi. Is that true?”“And now, you’re here in Buckwood? Is it because they don’t want you anymore? Are you here to look for another rich woman who would feed you?”“Now that I think about it, I was quite dumb to even confess to you back in college!”“Are you sing
All Tara Lewis could feel was disdain and disappointment.However, she was an exceptional person and suppressed herself from showing any negative emotions. Instead, she put on a smile. “Oh, yes. You’re here to buy a house, Harvey?”“Seeing how we’re old batch mates, I’ll give you the highest discount available.”“Still, I’m afraid that even if I offer you discounts, the houses here are worth at least fifteen million dollars…”“Why don’t I introduce you to the houses in the rural parts of Buckwood. I heard they only cost around a hundred thousand.”Harvey York replied with a smile, “Thank you, but I’m only interested in the houses here.”“Pfft! Ha ha ha ha…”!The other real estate workers all burst out laughing.He’s holding on to his pathetic act to the very end, isn’t he? Tara chuckled. “My old batch mate, it’s not that you’re not allowed to buy the houses here.”“But we don’t accept yearly or monthly payments. You have to pay the full amount.”“Can you… afford that?”Har
What was there to be said about a house worthy of thirty million dollars? Of course it would be perfect!The problem was, could he afford it?Tara Lewis looked at Harvey York with a sneer. She decided she definitely would make a fool out of him tonight. She would wait and see what kind of excuse he’d use to take back his declaration to buy the house.“My old batch mate, seeing how we’ve known each other for so many years, I can bring you over to view the house in person. How about that?” Tara said, smiling. “If you’re pleased with it, you can move in right away.” In her eyes, a peasant like Harvey who’s also a live-in son-in-law of some nameless family wouldn’t be able to do anything else except to let go of his pretense. After reading the description and looking at the pictures displayed in the brochure, Harvey shook his head. “There’s no need for that.”“Why? Are you afraid of going? Or is it because you’re too poor to buy it?” The real estate agent who had served Harvey and
Xynthia Zimmer only returned to her normal self after exiting the real estate centre. She stared at Harvey York with a mystified expression and said, “Brother-in-law, so I have a house now?”“For now, your sister and I will be living there. Isn’t there a few hundred square metres wide of space around the top garden? You can stay there if you want to.”Xynthia became excited. “Then, brother-in-law, can I choose to not live on the school campus anymore? The school hostel is too small, I don’t want to stay there any longer…”Her actual intention was to see her brother-in-law every day.Plus, she had to come up with a way to prevent him and her sister from consummating their marriage.Harvey would’ve never imagined his wife’s younger sister would have such ulterior motives. He thought for a while before saying, “This house is yours, so you can choose to come and go whenever you want. I can’t control you.”Xynthia had a look of realization. She decided to move in during the National D
Opening the door, Mandy Zimmer was surprised.Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine Brent Silva would actually be at her doorstep, a bouquet of flowers in his hands.On the other hand, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were looking at Brent as if he was already their son-in-law, nodding their heads repeatedly in approval.“Hello, uncle and auntie. Last time I was rude, but that was a misunderstanding. I hope you are generous enough to let it slide.’“The reason I’m here today is to give you all a formal apology, and to celebrate Mandy’s birthday.”Brent smiled, looking gentle and handsome.If the people who knew him intimately were around they wouldn’t even recognize him, what with the way he was acting.“Yes, Mr. Silva came here with utmost sincerity. Uncle Simon, Aunt Lilian, you should be grateful.” Zack Zimmer aided from behind, quick to praise Brent. “With the Zimmers’ status, we shouldn’t be able to connect with a family as noble as the Silvas.” Brent waved his hand. T
It was hard to describe how Simon felt at that very moment.His youngest daughter was rumoured to be the one Prince York had set his eyes on. The news turned him and his wife sleepless for countless nights.If…If Prince Silva had his eyes on their eldest daughter, then he could kick Harvey York out and live a comfortable life.With the two famous princes becoming his sons-in-law, he and his family could be as rich and extravagant as possible.Looking at the situation at hand, it was Brent Silva who was chasing after their eldest.Still, anything was possible. Anything could happen!Even if Prince Silva didn’t have interest in Mandy, having Brent was more than enough!Thinking this, Simon quickly regained his composure.He started talking to Brent to understand Brent’s status in the Silva family.After all, this man was his soon-to-be son-in-law. There was no harm trying to understand Brent’s background more, right?While he chatted pleasantly with Brent, Harvey remained tig
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”Everyone turned around and looked at Harvey York.Harvey said to Mandy Zimmer, “Honey, I ordered a very special birthday dinner for you. Let me take you there.”At this, Lilian Yates barked impatiently, “Hmph! So what? Young Master Silva ordered a dinner at Grand Hotel W! A table there costs about twenty thousand dollars! What did you order?”Brent Silva looked at Harvey with a gentle expression. He said, “Mr. York, we don’t need to go to the place you booked.”“At the place I booked, a table costs about twenty thousand dollars. If we don’t go, it’d be a real loss!”“As for the place you booked, the losses will be on me. What do you think?”As he spoke, he waved his hand. One of his minions took out a stack of money and threw it carelessly on the ground.Harvey didn’t spare a glance at their theatrics. Instead, he smiled. “If I do that, I’ll suffer a greater loss than you.”“Oh? Where did you book? I booked the Number One room of Grand Hotel W, wi
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
Coco looked at her phone and saw her Facebook alternate account had just added Tina. She frowned slightly. The only reason she approved the request was so Willy and the others could use that to pinpoint Tina's current location. She didn't expect Tina would dare send her voice messages…and so many of them in one go, at that.Originally, Coco wanted to delete all those voice messages. However, the last message read, "This is for your own good, so you better give it a read." There was even a smiley face at the end.Coco was slightly stunned when she saw it. She exchanged a look with Dan, and the two told everyone to leave before playing the voice messages.Coco wasn't interested in everything in the beginning, since it was Tina begging for her life. She didn't take it to heart. But when she reached the end, Coco's expression suddenly darkened. "How you and your brother poisoned Alexei, how you ordered Sky Plane to ambush the mayor for your brother's sake, and the truth behind Duran
"Coco, it's fine. This is not Willy's fault," Dan said calmly as if he had everything planned and saw through everything.He pulled out a vintage wine that he had been saving, uncorked it, and poured Coco a glassful, hoping his sister could calm down at this key moment."Who could have expected at this day and age, a mere servant could fight back when forced into a corner? Tina was indeed just an ordinary woman, but when facing a life-and-death situation, it was quite normal for her to have a burst of energy. She ran straight for the Fosters' territory, which was obviously meant to make things difficult for us."Willy not performing as well as we expected is only because we can't make an enemy out of the Fosters just yet. This is for my good, so stop blaming them anymore."At the very least, he has already arranged a few snipers nearby. The moment Tina shows her face, they'll kill her immediately. Things aren't so bad that they can't be solved," Dan said, sighing.Then, he continu
"What do you mean?" Tina was slightly stunned, unable to react to Harvey's words.Harvey waved a familiar-looking phone. In front of her, he tapped on the red exclamation marks. When the resend button appeared, he tapped it. Ding! Ding! Ding!All the voice messages that failed to be sent out earlier had all been sent out. Meanwhile, Tina finally managed to react. Tina screamed."Ahhh! Harvey, you fool! You're going to get me killed!" Tina screamed.She momentarily forgot the wounds on her as she almost jumped from the bed, as if wanting to choke Harvey to death. She knew very well what the sent messages meant for Coco.Most importantly, she even told Coco she had a recorder with her…This…This gave Coco the perfect reason to get her killed. Her fate had been decided the moment Harvey pressed the send button!That bastard!He really was a bastard!How could there be such a shameless man in this world? If eyes could kill, Tina believed she would have already killed Harve
