At the same time, Harvey York had already started his investigation.He inquired information from the connections he had with some gangsters and was basically sure that Simon Zimmer was not cheating from the beginning, him winning a lot at the start was purely luck and it was not even intentional.He had only lost money later only because he met a skilled player in the said game.It was safe to assume that the incident had been plotted by an outsider, but everything was flawless, he could not find anything off about the situation.Of course, it would be much easier for the police to find out what actually took place if they were called.But if that were to happen, then Simon Zimmer would have to live behind bars for quite a while.If that were the case, Mandy Zimmer would be heartbroken.And Harvey definitely did not want to see her that way.In all honesty, it was only fourteen million dollars. With his worth, it would be a matter of minutes before the money could be paid back
On the other side, Tiger Ray enigmatically hung up on the phone, then stood up and respectfully dialed a phone number that had a nice ring on the tail numbers.“Lord York, everything is proceeding just as you planned. The Zimmers are going to use Harvey York to take responsibility!”“Good, then continue as planned. Remember, Harvey is a handful to deal with. Please exercise caution!”“Of course!”Tiger Ray hung up the phone and started to rub his palms together in anticipation.***At the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.Wayne York hung up the phone and his cold expression showed on his face.Stephen York was sitting in front of him, laughed and asked, “This is such a simple trick, it’s extremely flawed. Do you think that Big Brother will actually fall for it?“And don’t you realize the person that he is? How could it be that he’d let someone cut off his finger obediently?”Wayne calmly replied, “I do know that it’s impossible in normal circumstances.“What kind of man is Tiger Ray
Harvey York froze.He was shocked beyond belief.He was still figuring out a way to solve the problem and to find out who was the culprit.But he did not think that Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were this heartless to make him into the scapegoat this quickly!If it weren’t for Mandy Zimmer, he would not be the least bit interested in this matter.If it weren’t for her, he would have already snapped.But for Simon and Lilian, this was a desperate measure for desperate times.If they didn’t shift the blame to Harvey, they would have been finished!Even so, they did not think about what to do just yet.“What are you people still waiting for?! Admit to your mistakes! Then take responsibility for all of them!” Senior Zimmer said coldly.At this moment, Tiger Ray had just walked in with his men into the casino, surrounding the Zimmers in no time.“He’s here. Please do what you must with him!”Before Harvey could even react, Simon and Lilian had already pushed him out.“You’re Ha
“Pfft… Hahaha!“Chopper Lyon, the Dragon Head Lyon would not dare to touch you?”Tiger Ray froze for a brief moment, then bursted out laughing.“You’re not just using the gang boss, Dragon Head Lyon’s name to scare me just because you know it, right?“Let me enlighten you, I graduated from the University of Country H! Don’t even try to use Dragon Head Lyon’s name to scare me!“Even if you know Master Caesar and Sean Bill’s names, it means nothing to me! The status of the person that’s backing me up is…”Tiger Ray felt like something was off when he was in the middle of his remark, he then abruptly stopped.He gave a stern look at Harvey York and then said, “No wonder someone asked me to be careful of you. I almost got tricked by your smarts!“Alright, enough nonsense with you little prick. Since your father-in-law brought you here to repay his debt, according to the rules, I’ll be chopping off one of your fingers today!“Are you ready?”Tiger Ray then pulled out a knife and s
Tiger Ray and his men did not believe a word he just said, they all coldly laughed at him.“Alright then! I’m interested to see what a live-in son-in-law is capable of doing!”Doo—Harvey York’s motion of his hand stopped under the gaze of a few dozen men, then the sound of him sticking the knife into the table furiously echoed throughout the room.He raised his head to glare at Tiger Ray and coldly said, “You’ll regret it soon enough!”“I’ll regret nothing!“I’ll cut off your hand first!”Tiger Ray was boiling with anger at that moment, he took the knife in his hand and furiously swung toward the direction of Harvey York.Bang!The door of the small dark room was busted open at that moment making a deafening sound.In a split second, muscular men in black suits rushed into the small room.Those men were all around six feet tall, all standing tall in high spirits.They were the men assigned as Harvey’s personal bodyguards by Tyson Woods.They had been hiding in the darknes
Soon, Harvey York sent the video footage to Joel Flynn via Tiger Ray’s phone.The moment Joel Flynn got the video footage, he immediately forwarded it to Wayne York.“So you do scream with fear. I had always thought that if you were a god, you would never have emotions like this…”Wayne had a strange look on his face. In his eyes, Harvey was like a god to him.But at that moment, he felt like his god had fallen from his throne collapsed along with the image of his idol.“Joel, send the footage to everyone in the Zimmers, including Mandy Zimmer. I want to know what kind of reaction they’ll make…”Wayne laughed loudly, this was a test.Soon, all the Zimmers had received the footage.Seeing that the person in the footage had his finger cut off, Simon Zimmer was trembling in his boots and his face immediately turned pale.“Dear God! This is too much! Thank goodness that the filth went in my place. I would’ve been finished if it were me…“Looks like these people were not messing a
Mandy Zimmer had broken down into tears before, she could not believe what she heard then.“What? Divorce?“Father, Mother! Don’t you realize that Harvey took responsibility for the both of you?! It’s wrong just to kick the man aside after using him!”“Oh, Mandy. We’re not that kind of people!” Simon Zimmer swiftly replied.“We all remembered everything that Harvey had done for the family.“The Zimmers aren’t a bunch of ungrateful people. How could we possibly do such a thing?“He wasn’t fit for you since the beginning anyway…“We’ll repay him money once everything’s over, but you have to leave him!” Simon and Lilian Yates tried to convince her for the divorce for the umpteenth time.“You two…”Mandy’s heart had skipped a beat after hearing what her parents said, this was just too disappointing for her to bear.“You have to divorce him! He already wasn’t fit for you in the beginning, he’s even more unfit now that he lost his finger!“I will not accept the fact that my son-in
Mandy Zimmer forced herself to calm down and said, “Grandfather, since I already agreed, can you at least tell me who this person is?”“We don’t know either, but he let me tell you that if you would accompany him and be his woman in secret, he’ll repay the debt for us and he’ll even let the Zimmers be a true first-class family in all of Buckwood!” Senior Zimmer said excitedly.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates locked their eyes and both saw the surprise which was evident in their eyes.‘Is this an actual blessing in disguise?’‘Is another rich and wealthy man looking up to Mandy again?’‘Who is that man?’‘Maybe it’s the legendary Prince York?’‘All the people said that Mandy Zimmer is actually Prince York’s woman in secret, but there was no evidence to prove it.’‘Maybe everything is finally turning to a reality?’‘Perhaps Prince York had forced her before, but she was unwilling to submit.’‘Maybe now Prince York finally found a chance?’Simon and Lilian looked at each other an
"That's right!" exclaimed Geoffrey. "You should come down now or let him get closer to check up on you!""Geoffrey, Neve. We have known each other for so many years. I know you don't want me to leave," replied Vaida, sighing. "But, do you think I'll believe you when you look for a random man to be my man of destiny? If a fake can replace the one I seek, I won't be trying to find him for three lifetimes, right?"Please, just ignore me and let me go in peace. Even if you can save me now, can you save me forever?"Obviously, while Vaida had a mental breakdown, she no longer recognized Harvey and forgot what had happened between them, but she was still a wise woman. She could tell that Geoffrey and Neve dragged Harvey here so that she would not die."Vaida! Don't forget that you're the daughter of the previous mayor! In my heart, you’re the real princess of Grand City!" Geoffrey roared. "I swore to him all those years ago that I would find the man of your destiny. I won't lie about som
"No! There is! Not only are you fated to cross paths, but such a fate is inevitable!" Geoffrey suddenly cried out. "Vaida, I managed to do as promised and found the man who is your destiny when I went to Wolsing last time! That's him! He's the man of your destiny! I won't have any objection even if you want to make your marriage official!"Geoffrey immediately rushed over to Harvey and pushed Harvey to Vaida. Harvey was stunned when he heard it, his eye twitching.What?Something about being the man of her destiny?Geoffrey did not give Harvey any time to react and winked at Harvey. "Mr. Representative, why don't you go speak with Vaida? The two of you promised to be together for three lifetimes before the Rock of Fate! You shouldn't miss each other now that you've been reunited!"When Harvey heard what Geoffrey had said, he was full of questions. Although he could understand every word, he did not understand what Geoffrey meant by that. Even Neve was so shocked that she subconsci
After Geoffrey had left, Harvey then walked into the courtyard. He looked around. Once he was sure there were no hidden cameras, he got into the bathroom and showered. Then, he changed into a new outfit.Too many things happened while he was on his way here, and he had to review everything. Only then would he be able to see the big picture of what had happened today.After that, he found the beverages meant for him. Then, he walked to the courtyard's edge, looking at the faraway scenery. The courtyard was built by the hills and a water source. In addition to the bridges and streams, he could see the plains in the mountains. He could even see the grass swaying as the wind blew.At the edge of the grassy plains were steep cliffs. The Fosters had built several gazebo-like structures there, which were quite terrifying. Harvey was curious and gave these cliffs a better look. That should be the edge of Grand City. He could see an endless ocean with crashing waves from here.Harvey could
Harvey saw Geoffrey already waiting there when he alighted the car. When Geoffrey saw Harvey, he was apologetic about the entire matter. Harvey did not need to say anything, and Geoffrey walked over, saying, "Friend… No, Mr. Representative. We will give you an explanation that you'll be happy with."Feel free to stay in the Foster family's estate. If anything happens again, you do not need to say anything. Our family will take full responsibility for this!"Harvey sighed. "There's no need for this, Geoffrey. My visit to Grand City will affect plenty of people's interests. It's normal for them to try and stop me from coming no matter what.""It's not that you're affecting many people's interests. Most importantly, you have affected one faction's interests," Geoffrey said as he gestured and led Harvey into the estate. As he guided Harvey in, he said, "The entire Grand City now knows your reason for coming to Grand City is to take on the Three Halls. What you're doing is taking away
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
