Simon Zimmer shook his head. “Brothers, all the food and drinks are on me today. As for the gamblng thing, just forget it. I just wanted to inquire about something tonight. You guys, please don’t make it any less difficult for me!”“It’s okay. Just play a few rounds and try your luck. I promise you that you won’t lose…”A gangster bursted into laughter.“Why? We have told you what you wanted to ask. Now you’ve changed your colors and you are not showing us some respect?”“Old man Zimmer! Since you’ve come out to play, why don’t you just have some fun. Who would come out and play with just a million?”“If you lose, you can just take it as spreading your riches around. If you win, you’re lucky!”“Hahahaha…”Everyone was drunk, and Simon was tempted to gamble anyway.However, he remained calm and said, “Okay, let’s go together. However, I only have tens of thousands of dollars with me. We’ll leave after I finish playing…”“Okay, okay, okay…”Soon, a group of people walked into t
“Second Brother…”Wayne York glanced at Queenie York and then bowed calmly.Quinton York glanced at Queenie with a smirk on his face and said faintly, “Third Brother, what’re you going to do?”Wayne smiled and said, “Of course, I will follow your instructions and explicitly execute what you’ve ordered.”“Then play with him. Let him lose. Let him lose everything.“Let him lose until he could not pay off the debt even if it meant to give the entire Zimmer family. I want to see how far our good Big Brother is willing to go for his cheap father-in-law…”Quinton said nonchalantly. For him, this was all just a game.Wayne nodded and said, “Second Brother, don’t worry. I will arrange everything and make sure that there wouldn’t be any mistakes. Even if the police arrive, they wouldn’t be able to find any proof!”***Three of the Famous Four of the Yorks were in the venue tonight.Simon Zimmer would not have thought that such a nobody like him could actually let so many nobilities ob
Soon after, Harvey York and the others were escorted into a large box; there were a few dozen people holding steel pipes and watermelon knives with intimidating looks on their faces.The smell of blood rushed into people’s noses, making them feel nauseated.There was a man lying on the ground at that moment, his body curled up in a fetal position, twitching incessantly and covered in blood.“Simon…”“Father…”After recognizing the person that was lying on the ground, Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates swiftly rushed toward him.Seeing Simon Zimmer beaten up to this state, Harvey had a cold look in his eyes even though he was not too fond of his cheap father-in-law.‘These people should die for making my wife shed her tears!’“Save me! Please!” Simon said while trembling and curling up on the ground the moment he saw his family.He was truly beaten up to a pulp that night, he had never encountered an affair of the sort for a man that had been fed by a silver spoon his whole life.A
Simon Zimmer had froze after listening to the “friends” accusing him of such things, he stared at the gang of scoundrels in astonishment.“You all framed me! You planned this all along!” scolded Simon.“Did we force you? Did we even tell you to come?”“You were doing this on your own will from the beginning!”“Did we even do so much as to touch you from beginning till the end?”Simon went dead silent.Just as the scoundrels he called friends said, he willingly did everything. Nobody could force him.Only his greed was to blame!Mandy Zimmer had understood the situation, this was a thorough frame-up.She thought for a while and whispered to Harvey York, “Should we call the police?”“No, it’s no use. They might do something out of desperation!” Harvey reasoned calmly.Tiger Ray heard what the two were talking about and gave a cold chuckle.“You wanna call the cops? Sure! Do as you like!“All the money he owed and borrowed from other people, everything was written in black an
Finally, Harvey York and the others left the scene with Simon Zimmer.Lilian Yates trembled as they had gotten back to the entrance of the place and reprimanded Simon while on the verge of tears, “I told you to stop gambling, but you never listen to me!“Tell us, what are we even going to do now?!“Where are we even going to find fourteen million dollars?!”“Yeah!”Mandy Zimmer let out a huge sigh.“We’re only delaying them for now, is there anything that we can do other than paying them back?”Harvey let out a chuckle without saying anything.Simon was down at first, but he straightened his body and pointed at Harvey and screamed at him after he saw his expression.“What are you laughing at?!“Hurry up and think! You worthless sack of trash!“If I had a good son-in-law, this thing would be solved in minutes!“You! You’re just filth! You’re to blame for what happened today!”Harvey froze over after hearing what he said, he could not fathom how Simon even came close to this
Simon Zimmer had gotten back to his senses while he was in the middle of his explanation and then he loudly exclaimed, “I understand now. I’m being framed and my friends are involved with it!”Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates looked at each other, then nodded in unison.“This must be it!“There are only two ways of solving this problem…“Either we pay the money back!“Or we find out the person framing you and solve the problem completely!“But I suggest the latter for now. Let’s figure out the situation before we think about paying them back!”Harvey York suggested the idea.Simon then glared at Harvey full of vex in his eyes and then scolded him, “Are you serious? The man said that every day we stall, I’d get one of my fingers cut off!“Who do you think you are? Sherlock Holmes?!“You’re not paying the money, but instead you’re looking for the truth?!“By the time you’re done, all of my toes would be gone!”“Alright—alright—stop fighting. We’ll figure it out first thing in th
“I’ll give you one day to get the money, you know the consequences if you don’t already!“When that happens, I’ll have to invite the Zimmers to beg for food on the streets!“Hahaha…”Tiger Ray turned around and left with a smug expression, extremely full of himself.When the Zimmers all calmed themselves down, they were all almost driven mad.“Go… Find Simon Zimmer!”“Right, someone needs to take responsibility!”“Senior, beat this bastard to a pulp…”***On first light, Simon and Lilian Yates were just heading out the door while carrying dark circles around their eyes.Knock knock knock!At this moment, there were loud knocks on the door echoing inside.As soon as Simon opened the door, a throng of people immediately rushed in and filled the room.Senior Zimmer leading the crowd gave Simon a furious slap across his face.“You wastrel! What did you do this time?! Tell us!“I worked hard my entire life and finally got us into Buckwood!“After so many setbacks, so many ha
“Where’s Harvey?” Zack Zimmer immediately jumped up and said furiously.Simon Zimmer took this opportunity.“Can’t you see that he’s absent? He already ran away!”Senior Zimmer was trembling in anger.“Harvey York, you bastard. I’ll kill him!“Go! Find that bastard now!”A crowd of people furiously marched out of the hall.When the Zimmers had finally left, Simon Zimmer let out an exhale of relief.‘Thank goodness that I was smart. I would’ve been beaten to a pulp if I wasn’t.’“Thank goodness you’re also here, honey. They wouldn’t believe me if you weren’t,” Simon said nervously.“Why would I even say things like this if it weren’t for saving your sorry soul?“But the filth, Harvey isn’t all that useful anyway. He’ll be better off being a scapegoat!“Come on, let’s go find my sister and my brother-in-law and ask them for money…“The people will cut off your finger if we don’t give them the money soon!”Lilian Yates let out a sigh.Simon did not waste more time to speak
"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
"I can't explain everything. I'm at the car park in Grand City's Central Business District! Please, save me!" Mrs. Hoffman begged. Harvey could hear the fear in her voice.While Harvey didn't know what had happened, he knew that if it wasn't because she was already cornered, she wouldn't have asked a stranger for help. He immediately put on the GPS and said, "Wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes tops."Very quickly, he drove into the car park and parked at a relatively hidden corner. Once he got out of the car, he put on a face mask. Opening the door, he saw a few men in black forcing a woman in a traditional garb into the corner.They held a cigar in their hands, huffing and puffing. They would even snicker perversely. A few security guards handling the safety of the car park weren't that far away, but they stood far away in the corner, too frightened to look.From that alone, it was obvious that these men in black's status must be quite high.Behind them, a coffee table
Harvey was feeling extremely awkward. He faked a cough and changed the topic. "Mr. Wenzel, I don't know what you've been doing in the last decade, but for you to be able to return in such a critical time means you've been paying attention to Grand City all this time, correct? You have let things take its course in Grand City, haven't you?"At Harvey's words, Wenzel and Vaida both put aside the matter of Harvey's marriage.There was a hint of surprise in Wenzel's eyes. "Why do you think that?""Simple. From the way Dan managed to become a scion, I can tell there are plenty of different factions within Grand City. All these factions are probably only respectful of you on the surface. The moment you disappeared, they did everything they could to push Dan into the seat of power so that they could have a puppet they could control."It's sad Dan didn't realize that and simply believed he was skilled in the game. In truth, without their protection, he's no one worth mentioning."Wenzel
Wenzel chuckled and said to Harvey, "You're too humble, Harvey. While you're not the chef, you're the customer. The customer is always right in matters of taste. As a chef, I have to make sure my customers are happy, correct? Otherwise, no one will come anymore."What I want to know is whether you want to be full, or to have a good meal. If you just want to be full, there's plenty for you to taste. But if you want to have it good, you can probably eat a few loaves in the morning. You'll be hungry before lunch."Harvey gave it a thought after listening to Wenzel. Still, he sighed and said, "In reality, I want both. The oven tests a chef's patience a lot. You need to do it again and again, but you need different heat for different pastries. The faster you want them done, the harder it is to make them delicious."That's why if you ask me, rather than trying to simply be full, I believe that one should make each pastry the best it possibly can. If there's something you can't bake or can
"Once everything was ready, Lord Howell then stood on the hill overlooking Lord Felipe's camp across the Red River. He believed his victory was at hand. "Suddenly, a cold breeze blew and the flag of his army hit his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that Lord Felipe's ships were coming from the North, while his own ships were stationed in the South. This was during winter, and the wind was blowing the Northwest. Using a fire attack would not only spare Lord Felipe's forces, but his own ships would also be burned."Lord Howell fell sick and he couldn't be cured. All the generals and soldiers were very nervous. At this time, Lord Kye's chief strategist Lord Albion came to visit him. He said to Lord Howell, 'I have a prescription to cure you of your disease. To defeat Lord Felipe, flame is the best weapon. Everything is ready now except for the Divine Wind.""The wind changed direction as soon as he said that, and Lord Felipe was defeated. And that wind had decided the national
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, the ambulance quickly appeared and took Dan and everyone away. Whether they had truly fainted or pretended to faint, they all cooperated throughout the ordeal.At the very least, fainting was better than being humiliated.And that was how a political move ended quickly before it could even officially begin. Everyone watching this was somewhat speechless. Their attention finally shifted to Harvey for a while before disappearing.Harvey couldn't be bothered by them. He smirked and then turned the streaming app on his phone off.After this, Lapis had become much more careful. She quickly arranged for more personnel to defend all the residence's entrances and exits. At the same time, she also sent more personnel to keep an eye on Dan so that something like this wouldn't happen again.Harvey simply shrugged and said nothing. He believed something like this wouldn't occur again. Dan was no fool. He would know that the same trick wouldn't work twice.
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!Stickers of rockets filled the chat on the phone's screen. Harvey looked at the stickers and happily said, "Looks like you can attract quite the attention, Dan! You're almost as popular as a small YouTuber! The rocket sticker is one dollar, I think. There are so many here, meaning you've already earned around 60 dollars by kneeling a minute here! This is so worth it!""You…" The prideful Dan could feel himself choking. Suddenly, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.He was the scion of Grand City. The scion of Parkerville! Yet to Harvey, he had just become a YouTuber who could earn 60 dollars a minute. Most importantly, Harvey was streaming him kneeling in front of numerous netizens. He ground his teeth, infuriated.Not that far away, Clarion and Neve quickly left. The moment Harvey appeared, they had a very bad feeling. When they saw Harvey fix his phone on the selfie stick, they could feel a chill down their spine. Realizing they weren't part of the st
