“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
Everyone got on the elevator. Soon, they reached the floor where the Spinning Restaurant was located.Ding!Mandy Zimmer’s face grew paler the moment the elevator arrived on that particular floor. Her palm, which was holding Xynthia’s, began to sweat.Boom, boom, boom…!Fireworks began to launch, and colorful fragments scattered all over the place.“Happy birthday, Mrs. Mandy Zimmer…!”A group of waiters stood on both sides at the elevator exit. When they saw someone coming out, they immediately bowed.A professional band played music in the backgroundThe restaurant had specially prepared a holographic projection in which various photos of Mandy were played in a continuous loop. Harvey’s figure appeared in some of the photos.It was a rare memory of Mandy and Harvey.The entire banquet was set up entirely for Mandy. No one else was there.All tables and chairs had been emptied. There was only a giant cake cart and a towering champagne tower set neatly in the centre of the d
Brent Silva was enraged.He had made a lot of preparations, used a lot of methods, and spent a lot of money to win over Mandy’s heart.The most important thing was that this whole ploy was on the orders of a person he couldn’t afford to offend.If he failed, he’d end up in unimaginable circumstances.Right now, Brent Silva had the urge to choke Zack Zimmer to death. Were it not because of Zack’s misinformation, would he be in such an awkward position?If he had brought Mandy straight to Grand Hotel W, wouldn’t things go according to plan?“I’ll find someone to check!” Zack Zimmer broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that if he couldn’t give Brent a satisfactory explanation, forget forging connections with the powerful; he’d die!The birthday banquet soon began.Zack suddenly laughed. “Harvey, you might have nothing, but you still have that crazy good luck streak of yours!”Everyone turned to Zack, wondering what he meant.Zack continued. “As it turned out, the owner of the Sp
At Brent’s signal, the two entourages each took out an exquisite gift box. They opened them and placed them on one of the tables in the restaurant.Inside these two boxes was a Porsche car key and a delicate diamond ring.Brent smiled and said, “Mandy, I heard you don’t have a car yet since you came to Buckwood. I know it isn’t easy to find a license plate number here.”“Thus, I’ve specially arranged a Porsche 718 for you. It’s from a company affiliated to the Silvas. No need to be polite, just take it and drive in it.”“As for this, it’s a Cartier ring I customized just for you. This is a one-carat diamond and it exhibits an immaculate cut. Please, try it.”Lilian’s eyes became full of greed. She couldn’t help but cut in, “Young Master Silva. These two things are very valuable, aren’t they?”“Quite. The car is only about eighty thousand to ninety thousand dollars. As for this ring, it’s just about thirty-five thousand dollars. Even if you add the two together, it’s still less th
“What?” Mandy Zimmer was taken aback for a moment, surprised.She assumed Harvey’s birthday gift was something worthless, which was why he must’ve been embarrassed to show it in front of everyone just now.Harvey York took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Mandy. “Open it and take a look.”Mandy opened the envelope, which contained an access card and the code for a smart door lock.Mandy was startled. “Is this…a house?” “The…the Gardens Residence?”Mandy grew stunned.Although she had just arrived in Buckwood not long ago, she knew that the Gardens Residence was the best residential community in all of Buckwood.“The place rented by the Zimmers is too small to live in. You should stay in this house instead. After all, you are the CEO of the company.”Harvey smiled.“Let’s go and see. Follow me.”As they talked, Harvey took Mandy to the Gardens Residence.“Harvey, are you crazy?! What did you do?”Mandy had checked the house prices online, and the revelation
Zack Zimmer’s words hit Senior Zimmer’s nerve.The reason Senior Zimmer allowed Mandy to be the CEO was to control her.However, it would be troublesome if Mandy did marry Brent Silva while still holding the position of CEO.Senior Zimmer’s eyes fluctuated in frustration. He then said coldly, “In the Zimmer family, you can’t just divorce or marry someone as you like!”Zack continued, “Grandfather, for now, the best way is to let Quinn quickly marry into the Silva family and then take away the CEO position from Mandy.”“If you feel that there’s no one you can trust, I can temporarily fill up the position for you!”“Of course, I’m just a puppet. Grandfather has the final say!”Zack had no intention of concealing his ambition. He knew that hiding it was useless, so he might as well be upfront about it.From his understanding of Senior Zimmer’s personality, as long as the other party was nervous, everything would go according to his plan.Brent did not need to marry Mandy. As long
Mandy’s family did not attend this interim meeting as there were many things to settle in the company.The Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project had begun.As this project was given to Silver Nimbus Enterprise by Sky Corporation, it was of utmost importance.Mandy Zimmer was now overseeing the construction of the project on-site.Due to sufficient funds, Silver Nimbus Enterprise was able to hire top-notch design and construction teams.Not only their quality of work was excellent, but they were also fast and efficient.In just a few days, many buildings had begun to take shape.One night, Mandy received a call reporting that something had happened on the construction site.She and Simon quickly rushed to the scene of the accident.Once there, they saw two groups of people in the field.One was the construction team that they had hired.As for the other, none of them had any clue.This unknown group was filled with fierce and shirtless gangsters, whose bodies were cluttered
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
When Coco heard what Dan had to say, she gave him an expectant look. "Dan, when you finally become mayor, I'll be more than just the princess of Parkerville. I will be the princess of the entire Grand City! Let's see who dares to cross me then!"Then, Dan smiled gently at Coco. "It's good that you finally understand this.""But, the problem is that I still can't let this go! Vaida and Harvey have crossed a line! How could they slap a face as pretty as mine? How ridiculous!" Coco held her still-swollen face, looking vicious."Not to mention, Vaida even wanted me to reimburse her for all the profit I had already taken from the restaurant! But am I supposed to give that up? I can't bear the loss of face!" Coco said as a cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was never going to let it slide."Do you really want to get revenge?" Dan asked after giving it a thought. "The only person who could officially keep the Seven Families under control was the Hierophant. You can t
"He might look like a simple man, but every time he benefits from something, it's always because of good luck. But when someone is always this lucky, then the luck becomes part of his power. In the past, I also believed that I could easily crush him. But the result? Just how much have we lost in Grand City? "Clarion, Durandal… Other than these two, how many more must we sacrifice? How many people must we lose? That's why when we're targeting him, whether we choose peace or war, we must think things through and consider the consequences. Otherwise, we might be in huge trouble if we're careless…"Obviously, Dan was learning from his past mistakes. After failing multiple times, he had a deep understanding of Harvey. Even if her most beloved sister was utterly humiliated, even if Parkerville was humiliated entirely, Dan still believed that he needed to be careful about this. Since no one could tell who would come up on top if this continued."Fine. Since we can't secretly attack or get
Just when Harvey and Alexei were shocked at the truth Vaida had revealed, Coco was back in her home. Not only was Coco still awake, but she was also pacing around Dan's room with an angered expression."Of course, I know he's the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance and also know that he's Vaida's so-called man of destiny. He even humiliated Sky Plane at the training hall earlier. And then, he even made that traitor Clarion turn on you after what happened at the casino."But are we supposed to be scared of him because of all this? Kill him! Kill him now! I believe with your power, you have all the means to make him suffer and die in Grand City! What right does an outsider have to show off like that in Grand City? Are you kidding me?!"Coco no longer had the charm and grace when she was outside. All that was on her beautiful face was a vengeful expression. She wished she could stomp on Harvey right now and kill him using her high heels.Dan ignored her and simply drank the ho
When Coco heard what Harvey had said, her face twisted in anger. She wished she could pounce at him and tear his flesh with her teeth. But the last of her conscience made her suppress her anger.All these years, she called herself the princess of Grand City and openly said she could one-up all the women in this city, becoming the so-called number one lady. As for Vaida, the former number one? Coco did not pay her much attention and simply treated her as a mental patient who was not even worth her time.But now, she needed to apologize to Vaida?At that moment, all Coco could feel was her utter suffocation. But if she refused to apologize, Harvey would not let her be. He might even slap her again.Meanwhile, if she called reinforcements from Dan and Parkerville, it might not be enough to suppress this fool. Not to mention, this might make her the laughingstock of Grand City.When those thoughts crossed her mind, Coco decided to suppress her anger and end this situation. Once this w
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
