After they had finished paying attention to Jesse, some started watching Yvonne. Initially, they all thought that Yvonne could not possibly be some kind of beauty.But after giving her a few looks, many of the men started to have lustful expressions. That was because, as pale as Yvonne was, her beauty was not something the Islanders had ever witnessed.No matter which of the island's famous beauties, they could not compare themselves to Yvonne. Some of the women who wanted to compare themselves to Yvonne gave up. That was because they clearly knew that they could not hold the candle to Yvonne.Shingen was satisfied with his inflated ego when he saw the men's jealousy and the women's humble expressions.At the same time, he stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was an emperor looking down on his subjects.Clang… Clang… Clang…When Yvonne and her entourage arrived at the stage, the bell had been struck seven times.The most fortuitous hour had arrived.The expensiv
"Thank you, everyone, for attending the wedding of the century. Thank you for coming all the way here, no matter where you're from," a great priest from the Church of the Western Court said, looking at everyone with gentle eyes as he held a tome in his hand."Today is the wedding of Mr. Shingen Tokugawa from the Island Nation and Ms. Yvonne Xavier from Country H. From today onward, they will become a family. From today onward, they shall take the vow of marriage, and everyone here in this wedding will be their witness."Now, Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, Ms. Yvonne Xavier. We shall start with the first step."The great priest looked at Shingen, then brushed his hand at the golden debit card he had just received. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Shingen Tokugawa, I stand here as a representative of the gods to ask you one question. Are you willing to take Ms. Yvonne Xavier as your wife? In sickness and health, in good times and in bad, to love her and honor her all the days of her life?"Many
The blood-red coffin parted Yvonne and Shingen on two sides of the stage. Everyone could only watch, mouths agape and eyes wide.This was Yvonne and Shingen's wedding! Who would be so bold as to kick up a storm here?A slender figure appeared on the red coffin and smiled at Yvonne. Then, he immediately approached Shingen and slammed his palm downward. It looked like it had no power, but in Shingen's eyes, the palm kept approaching as if it would cover his entire vision.Shingen narrowed his eyes, wanting to fight back. Shouta had already rushed over and yelled, "Today's your wedding! It'll be bad for you to spill blood! Allow me to help you. Who are you? How dare you interrupt Master Shingen's wedding!"Shouta had already unsheathed the longsword in his belt and slashed at the figure in front of him.Swish!There was a loud noise. As the two sides clashed, sparks appeared mid-air. There was a screeching sound, and a lot of people felt their eardrums almost shatter. While Shou
Shouta had no choice but to unsheath the shortsword on his belt. He crossed the longsword and shortsword with each other and attempted to retaliate against Harvey using his twin-sword style. It was obvious that when there was nowhere for him to run, he hoped that he could force Harvey back using that. Even if he couldn't, he could at least deal damage to Harvey, couldn't he?Unfortunately, reality was much crueler than what Shouta had envisioned. He overestimated his power and underestimated Harvey's ability. Before the two blades could even reach Harvey, Harvey's palm had already fallen on his face.There was a loud slap, and Shouta's right cheek instantly became swollen as if a truck had rammed into his face. Even when he had secretly learned from Country H the way to absorb the force of an attack, he was in so much pain that he almost cried.When Shouta saw that Harvey was going to press on the assault, he instinctively took a few more steps back. Realizing this, he was filled
After Harvey had easily defeated Shouta and the great priest, he ignored the others and turned to look at Yvonne. He gave her a faint smile and said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I should have come here soon."Yvonne was somewhat stunned. She couldn't even control herself as she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she might be dreaming. In the next second, she immediately jumped into Harvey's arms. Harvey was stunned a little, but after some hesitation, extended his hand to pat her back. "It's fine. I'm here."Their actions, while simple, looked like some kind of TV drama in a place and situation like this.All the Islanders could only watch. Today was the wedding of the century! They didn't expect someone from Country H to cause a ruckus. Not only was Harvey humiliating Shingen, but he was also making Shingen's to-be wife cheat in front of his eyes!Shingen, who was supposed to be furious, was not angry at all. Instead, he simply looked at this scene with a dry smile. Today's events were beyo
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

When the guests saw the staff working, they knew the newlywed should be arriving soon.They were right. As the helicopter the Island Nation's TV crew rented soared through the sky, Hotel Hope's entrance appeared on screen. The 52 Toyota Centuries decorated with flowers slowly drove over. All the cars were covered with red roses and fresh flowers, making others feel romantic.The real time for the wedding was 6.50 p.m.It was said that this was the hour that the groom, Shingen, chose himself. He believed that this was the luckiest time for him.As the time drew closer, so did the crowd.Most of the people from the crowd were from the Island Nation, while only a handful were people from Country H who had the right to observe the wedding. They had already been allied with the Islanders a long time ago.Not far from the embassy, one could see the cars used by the Wolsing's precinct coming in and out. The staff inside the car would observe the wedding with their binoculars, but their
Evening. Six o'clock. The sun was already setting. It was the most beautiful hour of the day, and it was also the most fortuitous hour of the day.However, an iciness slowly expanded from the Island Nation embassy in Wolsing's countryside, next to Lake Dove.According to international law, the area where the embassy was belonged to the Islanders. Which meant this area, including Lake Dove, was territory belonging to the Island Nation. This land followed the law of the Island Nations, and the ones protecting the land were their nations.After working hard for decades, the Islanders finally acquired such a good piece of land, which was a rare opportunity for them.Today was also a day that was worth remembering for the Island Nation's Shinto Way.How attractive it was for someone from the Shinto Way, one of the Island Nation's Six Schools of Martial Arts, to marry someone from Xavier of Wolsing, one of Country H's Top Ten Families.That was why the Island Nation's five other sc
Yvonne's expression was cold as she said nothing. Shingen could feel his anger building up when he saw how Yvonne refused to say anything, as if she were not afraid.He immediately pushed Jesse away, who wanted to stop him. He walked over and grabbed Yvonne by the throat. "Do you think you can act arrogantly just because Jesse is protecting you and I need to show your family respect? I'm warning you. After today, that sorry excuse of a man you love will have his fate decided!"I will turn his head into a decoration and put it right on our bedside table! I will make sure he watches us sleep together forever!"Shingen let go of his hand when he said that, then turned to look at Jesse with a dark expression. "It's getting late. Make sure she looks pretty, and get her into the bridal car! If you missed the time, then the entire wedding is off!"After that, Shingen gave a cold snort and left with his men. It was obvious that not only did he want to conquer Yvonne, but he was going to us
Yvonne did not even raise her eyes, as if an air of death surrounded her. It was as if everything she did today was just to complete a mission. And once that mission was done, her existence would be meaningless after that.Slap!When Shingen saw that Yvonne was like a marionette, his arrogant smile became cold and furious. He immediately slapped her on the face with an open palm.Yvonne said nothing but could not control herself and fell to the ground because of the force. Even her forehead was bleeding a little from the hit."Do you think you can avoid this by pretending to be deaf? Or do you think you can die once you've married into the Tokugawa family after the wedding is complete, and the Tokugawa family's and Xavier family's cooperation is complete?" Shingen said with a smirk."It's useless. If you obey me, then it's fine. If you don't, then I'll simply feed you the special Bonerust Powder that the Shinto Way makes. Forget about trying to commit suicide; you won't even have
