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
Under the gangsters’ leadership, the villagers yelled and shouted in fearless defiance.Mandy was not stupid. She immediately understood the situation after just a brief glance. These people came here to make trouble, and nothing else.However, Buckwood was a provincial capital. It was a place that emphasized law enforcement. Even the gangsters couldn’t mess around at will.They must’ve demanded protection fees and coerced the villagers into gathering here to justify their unscrupulous actions.Mandy took a deep breath and said calmly, “Fine. You said you want compensation for the building demolition. How much do you want?” “Not much, just fifteen million dollars. If you give us this much, then this matter is over for today.” The leader of the gangsters said, grinning.However, what he said was very interesting. This matter might be over for today, but it might not be the same for tomorrow.“Impossible. We won’t give you any money. Hurry up and get lost!”Simon Zimmer, who was
At the same time, in a clubhouse.Many people were sitting in a certain private room.These people were all big shots in Buckwood.They have all gathered together to give a new rising figure a proper reception.Tyson Woods!The number one man in Niumhi, who had settled in Buckwood just recently.He had adopted a strong stance after arriving in Buckwood and quickly dominated some territories.It was said that he had a powerful benefactor supporting him from behind.Therefore, they had to treat him nicely.No matter the perspective, Tyson Woods was just a newcomer in Buckwood.Compared to these big shots in Buckwood, he was just a nobody.If it weren't for his benefactor, he wouldn’t have the right to sit here among their ranks.The organizer of this feast, Old Niner, smiled and put down the phone in his hand.Someone laughed and said, “Niner, you’re so busy. You’ve already made some phone calls during the meal! If you have any good businesses, recommend some to us. Everyone
Mandy Zimmer finally fell asleep at midnight.Harvey York’s heart went out to her. He took a deep breath and calmed himself.He went to the rooftop and dialed a number. “Tyson, where are you now?”“Sir, I’m already in Buckwood. Following your instructions, I’ve already reached out to a few big shots in Buckwood.”Harvey said, “Have you heard of anything recently? For example, someone causing trouble at the construction site for the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project today.”Tyson thought for a while and said, “I’m not sure, Sir. But there’s a man called Old Niner, and he seems to be doing something for a Buckwood noble. I can’t be certain if it has anything to do with what you said.”“It doesn’t matter. Get some men ready tomorrow, and wait for me at the site of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project.” Harvey ordered, his face icy.“Sir, don’t worry. I’ve carefully selected the people who followed me to Buckwood. You won’t be disappointed!”Harvey could feel Tyson’s excit
The leader looked at Harvey and Tyson with a playful expression.“Yes. We’re both responsible for the safety of the construction site tonight.”Harvey did not speak. It was Tyson Woods who stepped forward to talk.These people were not qualified to exchange any words with Harvey.The leader studied Tyson with careful scrutiny and grinned. “Looks like you’re also a gangster, huh? I know the big shots in Buckwood. I’m guessing you’re still new here and you’re just starting out?”“Do you know who we are? You want to work in the underworld, right?. Do you know what’ll happen to you if you mess with us?”His grin widened.“Mandy Zimmer looks down on us too much. Even if she wants to find someone to fight us, at least find someone a bit popular. At least we could sit down and have a nice talk.”“A small fry from nowhere like you is nothing to us!”He shot Harvey a look of disdain.There were hundreds of people on their side. Harvey had only one. What was the point? They could finis
“Ask them about their identity.”Harvey York casually sat on a wooden stake with a calm expression on his face.The gangster leading the others was struggling while he tilted his head up to glance at Harvey, he could not believe what he saw.He had already figured out that Tyson Woods should be the daring and ferocious man that had recently joined the streets of Buckwood.But that ferocious man was being so respectful toward Harvey as docile as a sheep.‘The young man seemed unremarkable at best .Where did he come from?’Tyson walked up toward the gangster leader and grabbed him by his neck and lifted him off the ground with his body suspended in the air.“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything! Old Niner sent us!”The gangster leader was so scared that he almost peed his pants. His men had all of their legs crippled. If he dared to run his mouth after this, he believed that they would end his life right there and then.“So you’re under Old Niner. Alright then, I’ll give him
“You bastard! You…”A gangster had rushed forward in fury. Tyson Woods flung out a throwing knife with the flick of his arm and the knife had gotten stuck in the gangster’s face.The gangster started to howl while covering his face. At the same time, Tyson swung his arm once again and caught a small throwing knife in the palm of his hand, casually placing the knife on Old Niner’s throat.Old Niner immediately came to his senses.The man in front of him was ruthless. If he could, he would’ve ended Old Niner’s life already.Without a second thought, Old Niner threw his hands up in the air and said, “Let’s talk it out, Brother Tyson. We all live on the streets and we see each other almost every day! Cut me some slack, would you?”Old Niner was not a mindless thug. If he did not give in at that moment, he was basically looking for death!Tyson did not utter a single word and gave a wide grin, then signaled with a wave of his hand.In the next moment, a crowd of people rushed out fr
Harvey York took the phone and looked at the contents.This was a foreign number, but there were mission tasks under the number.The task that person wanted Old Niner to do was simple and that was to force the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort to end their project along with removing Mandy Zimmer from her position as the CEO.Harvey immediately used Old Niner’s phone to call the person.After a moment, a deep but dignified voice echoed from the other side. “Old Niner, didn’t I tell you to not contact me directly?“What of the Prince’s task?”Harvey calmly said, “What do you think?”Click… The other person instantly hung up on the phone.“Sir York, is the person…”Harvey did not need to call the person back and threw the phone to the ground.“The Silvas,” Harvey said calmly.Tyson Woods curiously asked, “Sir York, how are you so sure?”“Because there are only two people in Buckwood that would dare to call themselves the Prince.“Prince York…“And the so-called Prince Silva
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
When she was on the brink of getting killed, Tina wanted to drag Coco down with her. She even blurted quite a few secrets. The problem was, she remembered the red exclamation marks when she sent out her voice messages.That meant she probably still had time. She didn't need to go against Coco permanently. She still had time to patch things up. As for Harvey… To someone like Tina, he seemed too good of a person to be true.She instantly knew who she should cross between the two. Offending Harvey? She would at most be slapped a few times. Offending Coco? Well, she would face certain death. As the thought crossed her mind, Tina took a deep breath and put on a sincere expression."Please, Mr. Representative! I understand what you're saying, and I know who I should stand with. However, I'm just a manager for Port View Restaurant. The most I know is Princess Coco taking advantage of the restaurant."The problem is that I don't have proof of that! Even if I do, it won't deal any substan
The way Tina saw it, she wouldn't have fallen so far if not for Harvey and Vaida refusing to listen to her and even humiliating her in Port View Restaurant. It was all Harvey's fault!"Looks like I've saved someone ungrateful. I saved your life after going through so much effort and even got you here by spending so many resources. But you? You look at me as if I've butchered your entire family."Harvey casually grabbed a vitamin water. After opening its cap, he put a straw in and fed it to Tina. "Even after this, you still didn't dare to be angry at the person who wanted to kill you. You still wanted to pin the blame on me, didn't you? Do you think your savior won't kill you? Or do you think that Coco is scarier than me?"Harvey sighed. "No wonder the saying goes that the righteous always live a shorter life compared to the wicked. If everyone who was saved acted just like you and didn't know how to be grateful, no one in this world would do good anymore. If Grand City's moral
"We already know the answer without even having to see it, right?" Harvey said to Vaida with a shrug. Then, he gave Tina's phone, which he had picked up earlier, to Vaida. Vaida was slightly stunned. After a few tries, she managed to unlock the phone and the Facebook Messenger app popped up. When they looked at the red exclamation marks, Harvey and Vaida knew very well that this wasn't just a normal conversation.Vaida tapped on the replay button, and their expressions began to change—especially hers. Her expression changed from one of calm to one of searing fury. Even her breathing was getting laborious.Harvey extended his hand and patted her shoulder with a sigh.This was normal, however. Things were extremely complicated in Grand City. Some of the truths revealed right now were within his deduction.-Around six in the evening, Tina fully awakened after the anesthetics inside of her had finally lost their effects after surgery. She was currently in a private hospital owned b
After Harvey managed to deduce Dan's aim and plan, he then started to think about saving Tina. It was not because Tina was important, but it was simply because after saving her, it would immediately destroy Dan and Coco's perfect plan and disgust them.Harvey believed that if he kept on destroying Dan's plans, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually break down. That was why Harvey had already asked Alexei to send people to keep an eye on Tina, resulting in that scene just now.Most importantly, only after Tina managed to get her life back after suffering a near-death experience would she be willing to fully cooperate with her interrogation.Harvey opened the door and walked over to Tina.Tina was already lying on the ground, face down. The blood she lost made her shudder; even her breathing was becoming so weak that people could hardly hear her. Harvey narrowed his eyes and gave her a good look before saying to Alexei, "Get the first aid kit from the car and then call an am
"Oh, Tina. If the princess wants you dead, no one will spare you. Isn't it better to just die peacefully?" sighed Willy as he looked at Tina in her terrible state. Then, he pulled out his silver pistol and aimed at Tina's forehead from afar inside his Land Cruiser. He was going to pull the trigger.Boom!At the critical moment, a Range Rover suddenly appeared from the side and rammed into the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser's chassis shook and almost flipped over.Willy, who was aiming at Tina with his pistol, instantly lost his aim.Very quickly, they crawled out from their Land Cruiser. While they were still holding on to their weapons, they had already lost their prideful demeanor. Willy, especially. As an heir in Grand City, he had never received this level of injury before. At that moment, his body shuddered in anger."Which fool did this to me?! I will… Crap!" Before Willy could even finish cursing, he already saw Alexei give him a smile from the driver's seat in his Range
Unfortunately, while the voice messages were sent out, the opposite side refused to accept them. Tina could only scream when she looked at the red exclamation marks. The pursuers in the cars behind her had also opened their cars' sunroofs and taken out their crossbows. When the bolts they launched hit the road, they immediately created holes in the road from the explosions.Thunderblasts!They were the Martial Arts Weapons, Thunderblasts!When Tina saw what they were using, Tina knew that Coco had given them strict orders. They would not stop until they killed her. If she wanted to survive, she had to find someone else to help her.When that thought crossed her mind, Tina immediately turned into a corner on the highway, heading straight toward the Foster Residence's direction. Willy's expression also turned cold when he saw Tina's car change direction as he sat in a Land Cruiser behind her.As one of Dan's right-hand men, he would definitely do his best despite Coco only asking hi
