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
“Sir, I’ll report to the chief immediately. You…” “Don’t try to bargain with me. Otherwise, I’ll ruin the entire York Enterprise!”Before the person at the other end of the phone could speak, Harvey hung up the phone immediately.... In the Gold Coast Villa area, every villa was specifically designed by an internationally famous designer. From the type of ceramic tiles up until the type of trees, they were all chosen with great care. It was indeed not a place where one could afford to buy even though they were rich. At that moment, Harvey was sitting casually on the sofa at the balcony. Across him was the current chief of the Yorks—Yonathan York. He was Harvey’s uncle, and he was the one who asked his driver to pick Harvey up and gave him a ride to the villa just now. Looking at the carefree Harvey, Yonathan smiled and said, “Harv, we haven’t met each other for so many years now. You seem so much more handsome and energetic…” “Uncle, we don’t have to beat around the bush
“Don?”Harvey was stunned for a moment. He then smiled, ‘This guy is just a dog raised by the York Enterprise. It was only a matter of time before he got kicked out.’“Mother, I won’t get a divorce. Even if we are getting a divorce, this is none of your business. I hope you don’t interfere in our affair.” Harvey laughed and said this sentence before riding on his beloved electric bike and left.“Harvey, you’re nothing!” Lilian shuddered with anger. She had almost driven over Harvey with her car. However, she could only suppress her anger and quickly left after seeing a crowd surrounding them.…Mandy walked to the front desk of the company during after-hours.She then saw two girls laughing while saying something and many employees were watching.“Miss Zimmer’s husband is a loser. He said that he would give her roses from Prague. How dare he say that? Didn’t he look at himself in the mirror? Not to mention that he rode an electric bike, even his slippers were broken. A guy like
“You are…Harvey?”Howard Stone stared at Harvey doubtfully. He sneered for a while, parked his car, and walked straight into the hotel.Harvey felt so awkward. He did not expect Howard to ignore him when he talked to him. The two entered the private room one after the other. The classmates were all there at this time. Everyone looked over when the door opened. “Isn’t this the class monitor? The class monitor has also become a successful person too! So handsome!” Someone heckled. Indeed, Howard was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes, with the Audi car key hanging on his waist. He looked so handsome at this moment.Soon, someone saw Harvey who was walking in behind Howard. Although the suit did not fit him well, it was still an exquisite, high-end, and a famous brand.A classmate saw this and smiled. “Harvey, you seem to be doing well too. Come, these two main seats are reserved for you and the class monitor!”Howard glanced at Harvey and sneered. He shook his head and s
Harvey initially wanted to say something, but when he saw Howard’s behavior, he shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he walked to Shirley’s side and said, “Shall we go together? I’m afraid there’ll be trouble later.”“This…” Shirley hesitated a bit. She did have a good relationship with Harvey during college, but obviously, Howard was the main character tonight. If she left now, would she not offend Howard?On the other hand, when Howard saw that Harvey was still there and even hooked up with the beautiful classmate—Shirley, his face darkened. He stared at him. “Harvey, it’s fine if you don’t get out. Now you still want to take our beautiful classmate with you. Who do you think you are? Are you a successful person? Don’t forget! You are a live-in son-in-law, and we feel ashamed to have a classmate like you!”“That’s right! All our classmates are doing so well. You are a disgrace!”“Hurry up and get out! Shirley, he’s a live-in son-in-law. You must not be fooled by him!
If a veteran threatened Wilhelm, he wouldn't be too worried. The underworld wasn't all about violence—it was about relationships as well. No matter what people did, they wouldn't push it too far so they would have some space to bargain with in the future.However, a youth like Harvey was different. He didn't care about being patient, which meant that he could really kill Wilhelm. The moment that thought crossed his mind, Wilhelm had no choice but to suppress the regrets inside of him. The corner of his eyes twitched, and he muttered with great difficulty, "I'm sorry, Harvey.""Ha! While your apologies are worth nothing, I can let you go for Dragon Palace's sake." Harvey took out another paper towel and, after wiping his fingers, wiped the cold sweat off Wilhelm's forehead. "You better remember this. If you see me next time, you better kneel on the side. That way, I will pretend not to see you. Understand?"Wilhelm's face twitched, but he knew there was no point in escalating this
"You old fool… You're still threatening others at a time like this," Harvey walked over to Wilhelm, disdain in his eyes. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you after I've hit Donald?"Right after Harvey said that, he immediately slapped Wilhelm's face. While Wilhelm was an expert himself, his skills were useless before Harvey. Harvey's attack was simple, but Wilhelm somehow felt he could block it; however, the attack immediately fell his Wilhelm's face. He was in so much pain that he shuddered."Argh!" When Wilhelm finally realized what had happened, he held his face. He was furious and upset. "You bastard! How dare you hit my face! You…"Harvey slapped him again. "So what if I hit your face? Do you think there's anything special about you that I should hit your face? If it isn't because you're asking for it, I wouldn't even hit you. Don't you know why this is happening?"Liza and the others looked down on Harvey even more when they saw Harvey humiliate someone like Wilhelm as
"You're way out of line, Harvey! How dare you treat our VIP from the Summer Isles like this! Do you even care about our laws?!" Wilhelm roared.He was enraged when he saw Harvey easily beat Donald up. He didn't dare to say anything just now because Harvey had a hostage, but now that Harvey no longer had any hostage, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore."Do you think I have no temper? That I'll just watch you harass others in front of me? As the Deacon of Wolsing's Dragon Palace, I'm now ordering you to immediately apologize to Donald and give yourself up to him. Otherwise, I'll deal with you according to our laws!"He grabbed the cup next to him and threw it to the floor.Harvey glanced at the floor. "That's an antique cup worth 15 million dollars. Remember to pay for it.""I'm paying nothing!" Wilhelm's expression darkened, his anger reaching a boiling point. He was telling Harvey about the law, but Harvey was telling him to compensate for a cup? He couldn't take it anymore!
"You… You little bastard!" Donald was in so much pain that his tears came out. He yelled furiously, "How dare you touch me? You'll regret it! You'll definitely regret it!"There was a bang. Harvey put in some more strength, and this time, he really did step right on Donald's face. He even crushed Donald's face under his boot.Donald's face was full of dirt; he shuddered in anger, but he was still stubbornly resisting. "Bastards! You're all bastards! I won't show you any mercy! You'll all pay for your actions!"Harvey clicked his tongue a few times before sighing. "Normally speaking, the older a person is, the wiser he is. Someone as old as you must be extremely wise… But now, I'm a bit suspicious. I don't even know how you managed to survive until this age when you're so blind to your situation!"Harvey gave Donald another stomp, to the point blood came out of his nose. Looking at the blood on his shoe, Harvey wiped it off disdainfully on Donald's clothes."You…" Donald was indign
Almost everyone was shocked when they saw Harvey "obediently" kick Donald to the ground. They were so stunned that they didn't know how to describe it. They didn't expect that not only Harvey would be so bold, but he would also choose to follow such a "request".Things were already quite bad when he slapped Donald, but he even kicked Donald to the ground and stepped on the latter's face.That…That wasn't as simple as hitting someone. Harvey had ignored Donald's status and identity. He ignored the Summer Isles Martial Arts Alliance and all the organizations behind it. He was humiliating Donald completely!After a brief moment, Wilhelm regained his composure. He jumped off his seat, anger written all over his face. "What are you doing, Harvey? Do you even know what exactly you're doing? How dare you touch him, you bastard!"Even Liza was overtaken by fury. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you right now!"She immediately pulled out a flexible blade she used as a sword and rushed toward Ha
"I understand you're young, Harvey, but you better not make any more demands. What else do you want when Donald has already given you a mask to cover your face?" Wilhelm said, his tone rather strange. "You should know what's good for you. If Donald gets angry, the consequences will be quite bad. You won't be able to deal with it. I hope you can understand, Harvey. Donald isn't only supported by the Martial Arts Alliance from Summer Isles, but also the ones from Lion City and Bright Isle, among others…"Wilhelm leaned back on the sofa. "Now go and apologize, seeing that we still have time. Once you're done, I can give you 20 dollars to get some fried chicken for supper. See? I'm very considerate, right?"Liza chuckled as well. "You should know when to drop it, Harvey. Don't cut off your escape route…"As Harvey listened to what they had to say, a huge smile stretched across his face. He looked at Wilhelm and the others curiously. "Can I understand that you're threatening me?"Li
"You…" Donald looked at Harvey in anger, as if Harvey was beyond hope—that he could never learn. In his understanding, the Country A Martial Arts Alliance had always been the leading country in the martial arts community. The other four Great Directors within the World Martial Arts Alliance weren't that important.How dare the representative of a director nation question him? He couldn't take this anymore!"Harvey! I'm trying to explain things to you kindly, but I never expected you to be so stubborn!" Donald waved his hand. "If you're so stubborn, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"Wilhelm also smiled. "Since you're Country H Martial Arts Alliance's representative, then you should understand we now walk in peace. In the international arena, we've always tried to convince others using words instead of martial power. Your battle with the Shinto Way occurred without any preparation from either side. Both sides didn't have any plans. It doesn't matter if you win or lose—either way
However, Donald refused to let it go even if he had calmed down. With a cold smile, he pointed at Harvey and said maliciously, "Boy, all I can say is that you're quite fortunate for the deacon to speak on your behalf. Otherwise, I would have slapped your face so hard you can't turn it anymore."Know that in the Summer Isles, even across Country A, I have slapped hundreds and thousands of arrogant youths. Don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you have some talents, young man. I…""Alright. Stop yapping already," Harvey said impatiently as he cleaned his ear using his pinky. "If you have anything else to say, say it now. I want to get some supper after this. Are you going to bring me out to supper if the shop closes?"Liza and the others shuddered, furious It was the first time that they had seen someone who would dare to speak to them like this.What kind of person was so arrogant that they cared little for anyone?There was one right here!"Alright! Fine! I won't a
Though Liza was apologizing, she didn't look apologetic at all. Her so-called apology was closer to mocking Harvey.Donald and Wilhelm watched this scene unfold with a dry smile. They didn't stop Liza. It was obvious they wanted to see how Harvey would react now that Liza had humiliated him so thoroughly."Looks like those who returned from the West don't even know proper courtesy and how to apologize properly. It's natural for something like this to happen if they had never bathed in the light of civilization," Harvey said calmly. "From this alone, it's enough for me not to take someone like you, who has just come back to her ancestral lands, seriously. But if a certain someone refuses to learn and still won't stop, I'm afraid I'd have to teach her a lesson on culture and courtesy."After saying that, Harvey looked at Donald and Wilhelm. "Of course, if some of our seniors need it, I can also teach them about how to respect the old and love the young.""Never been bathed in the l
