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
“Yeah, Young Master Silva is right. Since our live-in son-in-law can book the entire Spinning Restaurant, we must go see it.”Zack Zimmer’s purpose today was to cooperate with Brent Silva to take Mandy Zimmer down. How could he miss out on this opportunity to bash Harvey, the loser?He and Brent exchanged discreet glances. They both saw the ambition in each other’s eyes.How could such a joke be compared with their careful preparations?Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates didn’t want to go. However, Brent took the hard-line and insisted that they should go.Although he had a gentle appearance, he was full of deterrence. Simon and Lilian had no choice but to defer to his wishes.Mandy was even more confused at how everything had turned out.Couldn’t Harvey see through Brent’s motive?Despite that, he still allowed other people to spit in his face and humiliate him. Did he want to be kicked out of the Zimmer family that bad?Were it not for the sake of saving Harvey’s face right now,
Harvey York flashed the gangster a genuine smile.Many in Buckwood wanted to bury him in the ground, but they only dared to use covert methods.Even the powerful Quinton York didn’t have the guts to confront him directly. Quinton had never been able to take a hold of Harvey.However, this gangster dared to talk like this to him. What a joke!The gangster was quite surprised to see Harvey smile. “You’re quite bold. Let me introduce myself.”“The name’s Ben Cole.”Harvey thought for a while and said, “I don’t know you. Seems you’re hardly a big shot in Buckwood, hmm?”Ben’s eyes grew slightly cold. Indeed, he was not a big shot. If he was, he didn’t need to resort to such trivial matters like this.Even so, he remained conceited.He grinned and pulled his ears slightly. “I haven’t heard someone say that to me for a long time. Say, what happened to that second generation heir who talked like that to me last time?”A younger guy behind Ben replied, “Big Brother, you cut off his t
“I’ve given you a chance.” A cold voice came from behind. Ben Cole, who had been very arrogant moments ago, shuddered.He turned around frantically. From the corner of his eye, he could see several of his men were lying motionless on the ground.“Mr. Live-in son-in-law, what do you want to do? If you provoke me, the Zimmer family’s finished, not to mention yourself.” Ben was terrified. However, he was still a gangster. Although he was facing an unexpectedly harsh situation, he still held on to his pride.“Tell me, who asked you to come?” Harvey asked coldly.“Heh! You don’t deserve to know!”Harvey nodded, and increased the strength in his grip.Ben felt as if a rope was encircled around his neck, constantly tightening, making it difficult for him to breathe. Panic entered his eyes.He now understood that this live-in son-in-law was a ruthless person. If he still dared to mess around, then he might really die in the next minute.“You…you let go of me first.” Ben was strugglin
By the time Harvey York reached Buckwood Tower, Mandy Zimmer and the rest had been waiting for a while.Leon Silva was urging Mandy to leave, insisting that Harvey was afraid to come.He panicked slightly when he saw Harvey appear, but was quick to recover his calm.Harvey gave Leon an indifferent glance, but said nothing.Mandy had no clue what was going on. However, she was slightly nervous. The arm she used to hold onto Xynthia Zimmer trembled.She was looking forward to the surprises Harvey promised her.At the same time, she was also worried that everything would turn out to be nothing. If that happened, she didn’t know what to do with herself.Zack Zimmer, who was standing on the side, spoke up the moment he saw Harvey. “Oh, right. I just checked. It’s said that after successfully booking the Spinning Restaurant, the restaurant will send a gold-plated membership card that you can use while you dine in. Is that true?”Leon smiled. “I know about it. This membership card is
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
Vroom!When the sun was setting, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly stopped in front of the Platinum Casino.Clarion was extremely against Harvey wanting to help Hale, but in the end, he still could not resist Harvey's insistence. He had no choice but to take Harvey to see Camellia.This was because Clarion genuinely meant well toward Harvey.No matter how it looked, Harvey had been surrounded by enemies ever since he had arrived in Grand City. In this kind of situation, Clarion hoped that Harvey would have a few enemies left.At the very least, they should have a talk before going for each other's throat.Of course, Harvey had no hope that anything could be achieved by talking. However, when he saw how Clarion was thinking of him, he believed he should at least make the effort to meet the legendary Queen Bee Camellia and see if they could actually talk things out.Clarion also felt relieved when he saw that Harvey was willing to talk. He even invited Neve to be there too, hoping th
"If I remember correctly, Dan is also a True Warrior elite, correct? Is he not interested in this Chapter of Ascension? He didn't have a hand in this?" asked Harvey when he remembered something else.Clarion smirked. "Well… How should I put this? Of course, everyone who practices martial arts will be interested in the Chapter of Ascension. One becomes practically invincible once one can step into that level. Once a person reaches that stage, all the politicking and schemes will become pointless, since they're nothing before absolute power."However, Clarion heaved a sigh. "Unfortunately, one cannot instantly become a master when it comes to martial arts. The Chapter of Ascension is indeed something very beneficial, but it also causes more harm than good. Unless someone possesses extreme power, those who have it in their possession will be attacked by everyone else."This doesn't only apply to Grand City. Even when one is outside of Grand City, there will be countless factions and el
"Alright, enough talk," interrupted Harvey as he changed the subject. "Why would someone like Camellia be interested in Hale? Even if he was once a martial arts prodigy, so what? Don't tell me one of the Seven Families of Grand City is interested in his martial arts manuals."Clarion's expression was obviously hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he could not decide. Harvey did not force him, however. Harvey calmly reasoned, "If it's something you can say, say it. But if you can't, then just stay quiet. I won't force you when it comes to things like this."Clarion sighed. "It's not that I can't say it. It's just that this involves too many people. It's extremely complicated. I'm worried you can't climb back up because it goes so deep."Harvey calmly replied, "Don't worry. Forget about Grand City. Few things in this world can make me worry about it being too complicated."Clarion scoffed but still whispered. "I'll be direct. Everything I say to you right now can't be proven by
"Camellia?" Harvey said with a faint smile. "That sounds like the name of an ordinary housewife. Anything special about her?"Clarion's eyes twitched before saying, "Camellia is one of our distant relatives. When she was young, she was called the "Queen Bee". It was said that when she was young, the reason she fought was to make her opponents into her servants. If Grand City had a criminal underworld, then Camellia would be the queen of this underworld. "I've already cleaned up the car park, so Platinum Casino probably won't know what happened yet. However, Camellia has too many contacts in Grand City. It won't take long before she finds out it's you."Clarion hesitated for a little before continuing, "Mr. Representative, while you're very strong, Camellia's just too much of a pervert. I have a feeling that you two will see each other soon. Either you find a way to make peace with her, or you hide. If you do become enemies, then she won't stop until either one of you is dead."It
"Bastard!" All the men in black exchanged a glance and all pounced at Harvey with a dagger. Harvey looked like he could fight, but they were sure that one man couldn't win a fight when outnumbered.They were going to use their numbers to kill Harvey.Slap! Smack! Slap!Harvey didn't let them have their way and immediately slapped the men in black. He struck all of them onto the ground with one slap each.It was just a simple slap, but Harvey made their faces swollen and destroyed their self-confidence. They couldn't understand how despite being so slender, Harvey could fight so well.Forget about retaliation. They couldn't even avoid a slap from Harvey!The woman instantly pointed her gun at Harvey and sneered coldly, "You brainless, ignorant fool. You don't understand who you've crossed and what crime you have committed!"Slap!Before she could finish, Harvey had already appeared in front of her and slapped her away too. She screamed, thrown into midair, her back slamming ag
The woman who was drinking coffee frowned. It was obvious she was very unhappy with Havey's sudden interference."Kid, don’t you know you shouldn't meddle in affairs that don't concern you?" The bald man glanced at Harvey, disdain on his face. "There are many times when those who meddle in others' affairs die horribly."The bald man gestured to his men and the three of them pounced at Harvey, obviously wanting to teach him a lesson. However, they had just gotten a little closer when Harvey took a step forward.It was just a simple move, but the woman who was drinking coffee froze before yelling, "Baldie! Watch out!"The bald man was also instantly soaked with sweat. Harvey was just too fast! He never imagined someone could move so fast. Before he could even retreat, Harvey had already appeared right in front of him and slapped him.Smack!There was a loud smack, and Harvey's hand had already hit his face. The bald man's head slammed onto the ground, blood instantly flowing from
