As soon as Harvey pushed Mandy to the ground, he saw Vaughn and many of the members of the family's higher echelon gathered around Hector's coffin.Suddenly, gunshot sounds could be heard from the front of the coffin. Roberto didn't react in time—his body shook as bullets rained down on him. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.The people behind Vaughn finally reacted, and quickly retreated and escaped. The Thompsons were shocked. Some of them cried in anguish. "Sir!"Before they could do anything, the coffin blasted open with a bang. A figure in a dark outfit from the Island Nation came flying out. With a longsword in his hand, he immediately headed toward where Vaughn was, preparing to kill him right there and then.Vaughn was shocked, but a slender figure suddenly stepped out. With a flick of her sword, she blocked the ninja's decisive attack.It was Rachel.Vaughn crawled up from the floor and ran to a bodyguard, grabbing the firearm from his hand
"Not necessarily the Islanders, no." Harvey shook his head with a dark expression. "Today is Hector's funeral, and the key moment for the Thompsons' heirs to fight for their ascension as patriarch. While it looked like the Islanders were behind this assassination attempt, the Thompsons might have arranged for him."Mandy frowned. "Don't tell me it's Vaughn…?""Not him. He's the next person in line with the hope of becoming the patriarch after Hector's death. There's no need for him to make things difficult for himself," Harvey said slowly.Harvey had a guess, but he didn't expect this person to be so decisive and make such a risky move in the funeral service. If it really was that person, then all of these arrangements were just the appetizer. The entree wasn't here yet.When Harvey realized this, he didn't care about Mandy's resistance and immediately dragged her under a nearby tree where she would be out of sight. It was too late to leave right now."Thompsons! Hear me! Don't le
"Traitorous son?" Nicholas said calmly, his hands behind his back. "It's true that to you, I'm a traitorous son. But have you all forgotten something? The position of patriarch was supposed to be mine. "However, my father died young, leaving behind my brother and me. We were entrusted to Roberto's care. But maddened with power, he allied himself with outsiders and took our power away. That was why my brother and I had to act out such a performance."He will stay behind and become Roberto's fake son, while I depart for Dark Island. According to our original plan, when I return, my brother and I will dish out our revenge accordingly. I didn't expect him to die first."Since that's the case, I'll personally take care of what's happening in the Thompson family. However, seeing that we're in front of my brother's grave, I don't want to spill too much blood. I'll give you all a chance."Give up what's rightfully ours. Otherwise, you can't bear the consequences!"Couldn't bear the conse
Nicholas' return and taking back everything he wanted was just an excuse. His greatest aim was to borrow the powers of Evermore and other forces to make Wolsing bleed and covered in corpses. He wanted Wolsing to fall into chaos.While he was indeed pitiful when he was forced to leave Wolsing, it was not an excuse for his actions.Harvey even suspected that the reason Nicholas could reach this stage was all thanks to Evermore and their planning. Nicholas was one of the most important pawns for them to throw the country into chaos.If Nicholas really did become the patriarch of the Thompsons of Wolsing, the result would be unthinkable.An elder from the Thompson family approached him and slammed his hand on the table. "How dare you! You dare threaten the family? And you will make us choose between life and death? What? Are you going to kill everyone here?"I'm going to make it clear. The Thompson family isn't just someone's private property. Those who become the patriarch would have
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
“An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation?” Harvey said coldly. “First, Mandy is my wife. Please stay away from her. If you want to make a scene, go someplace else!“Second, if my wife loves roses, I’ll buy them for her! She’s so gorgeous. How could such plain and cheap things suit her? I’ll send her the roses from Prague tonight itself!” “What the f*ck! Are you mentally retarded or just plain stupid? One rose from Prague costs more than a thousand dollars. I heard that you were asking for a scooter from Senior Zimmer yesterday. You’re just a good-for-nothing. Even if you sell your kidney out, you couldn’t even afford to buy one of those. Why are you so daring, putting up a show here?” Don appeared cold. He enjoyed a privileged status in York Enterprise. ‘How can a son-in-law like him talk to me like this?’ Besides, the thing which infuriated him the most was the incident in which Harvey smashed his flowers and dragged Mandy into the elevator. ‘What the hell did the

The following day, news spread throughout Wolsing.Hector, one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, had passed away due to an acute disease a few days ago. Today was the day of his funeral.All the members of the Thompson family had returned. It was obvious that they wanted to give Hector a grand funeral. After the news came out, all the members of the major wealthy families went to the funeral to pay their last respects.Suddenly, a lot of people gathered in Mount Jewel, where Hector's funeral service was held. While the Thompson family had expected all this, it was obvious that the security forces they prepared were stretched to their limits.All they could do was check the invitation and their belongings, and that was it. They could not do anything else.Harvey had arrived at the funeral service very early in the morning. However, no one noticed him because he preferred to be discreet. After narrowing his eyes and scanning the corners of the service, Harvey quietly mixed into
Harvey did not stay despite Veer and Marlee's request after he was done with matters in the Judd household. After declining several invitations from the other geomancers, he left after a few more polite words.Once he was back in his estate and had just finished enjoying a cup of coffee, he received a message from the front that Vaughn requested an audience.Harvey did not refuse and simply asked Vaughn to enter the estate."Boss, I have bad news. Nicholas Thompson is back!" said Vaughn, with the obvious darkness in his expression when he met Harvey, who was drinking his coffee."Nicholas was Hector's brother. Not only was he from the family's main branch, but it was also said that he had created an invincible corporation on Dark Island. Not only did he want revenge this time, he wanted to take back everything he lost."Harvey nodded. "I understand."Vaughn replied sternly, "No, you don't understand. According to my information, he had accepted help when he was overseas. Many mer
Everyone was shocked when they saw Harvey swing his hand gently at Nicholas with an open palm, but it was enough to throw him away into the ground, coughing in blood. Everyone could only watch in awe.Some elites could already tell from this moment alone that Nicholas was no weakling. Unfortunately, he was unfortunate enough to encounter someone even more powerful than he was.That was Nicholas's fate.Marlee stared at Harvey with a shine in her eyes. Veer held his throat, admiring Harvey even more. He had encountered plenty of young talents throughout the years as the patriarch of his family. But it was the first time he encountered someone with so much talent in the mystics and martial arts.At this moment, Veer even wanted to sacrifice everything he had just to recruit Harvey and make him the Judd family's son-in-law.As for the others, all of them simply thought of how eye-catching he was at this moment.Meanwhile, Harvey simply pulled out a paper towel and thoroughly clean
"Regret? Why would I be?" Harvey calmly replied. "If you really dare to kill Mr. Veer, the Judds and the other four hidden families would never show you any mercy." Hearing Harvey's words, everyone from the Judds of Wolsing was stunned. Even before they could say anything, Harvey said, "But seeing that you did single me out, I'll give you a chance. Let him go, and we'll exchange moves. If you win, you can leave. If you lose, you die. How about it?"When Nicholas heard Harvey's challenge, he smiled coldly. "Are you saying that you want to fight me alone? And that we will see who's victorious in one move?"Harvey shrugged. "One move, ten moves, there's not much difference for me. Since you're just someone who I can slap away with on strike."Then, Harvey signaled for everyone in the middle to clear space. Once he was there, he pointed at Nicholas, beckoning him with his finger. Nicholas was enraged when he saw what Harvey was doing.Harvey's calmness and arrogance should be somethi
The next instant, all the Judds' bodyguards immediately attacked. It was obvious that all of them were martial arts elites, and every attack made the wind howled. However, Nicholas was also not just any ordinary fighter. When he saw the bodyguards attacking him, he immediately countered and threw them on the ground. Once he was done with the bodyguards, Nicholas appeared right before Veer. He extended his hand, catching Veer by the throat.At that moment, all the armed bodyguards had their faces pale. They did not dare to attack, worrying they would hit Veer instead."Release my dad!" Marlee said coldly. "I don't care who you are, Nicholas. But if you hurt my dad, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave here alive!"When Nicholas saw Marlee speaking to him coldly, he narrowed his eyes. Initially, he wanted to make Marlee his, and then control the Judds of Wolsing. But now…When the thought crossed his mind, Nicholas looked at Harvey even colder. "Ms. Marlee, do you really thi
