“Young Master York, I apologize for what happened just now. Take the 1.5 million dollars as compensation for this young lady.” Shane Naiswell smiled, handing a check to Xynthia Zimmer.Xynthia glanced at Harvey, but did not reach out her hand.Harvey said indifferently, “Take it. You deserve it. If you refuse to take it, I’m afraid Master Naiswell won’t be able to sleep tonight.”Xynthia nodded and accepted the check.The staff who followed Shane were all dumbfounded.Who was this man?He treated and talked to Shane Naiswell as though Shane was just your average Joe.Most importantly, Shane did not refute the words he spoke.What was that supposed to mean?This was a clear indication that his status was certainly higher than Shane Naiswell.In front of him, Shane held a station equivalent to that of a younger brother!The staff had followed Shane for many years, and had seen the ways of the outside world.However, at the moment, they couldn’t recall if there was a young man
In the Zimmer family.Since Mandy Zimmer’s Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project was flourishing, she now held sway among the Zimmers and they took her words seriously. Besides, the Silva family was no longer. Zack Zimmer could not find a new backer in such a short time. Thus, no one in the Zimmer family was giving Mandy any problems. Everything was in order.On this day, an invitation letter was sent to the Zimmer family by a man in a suit.In the Zimmer Villa, Senior Zimmer studied the contents of the invitation letter. He said excitedly, “Hurry! Hurry up, call Simon and his family here!”Soon, Simon Zimmer and his family came, including Harvey York.Senior Zimmer took out the invitation letter and said with a smile, “Simon, Lilian!”“Look at this! It’s an invitation from the Yates family, a first-class family in Buckwood!”“They’re inviting us Zimmers to their family’s birthday banquet!”Senior Zimmer’s gaze on Lilian Yates was a little different when he spoke.In the pas
Lilian Yates stood up at this moment. She pointed an angry finger at Zack Zimmer and exclaimed, “Stop stirring up trouble here. My sister already mentioned before that my family is allowed to join Grandma Yates’ birthday banquet!”“This invitation is clearly for us!”“Okay, okay. Stop arguing!” Senior Zimmer said indifferently.“Just look at the letterhead of the invitation card.”Then, he flipped open the invitation card with an excited look.A group of Zimmers subconsciously came over for a peek.“The Zimmer family” was written on the letterhead.Zack Zimmer laughed after seeing the three words. “See, Grandfather! What I said was right. The Yates family is surely coming after the Zimmer family, not after someone!”Senior Zimmer added with satisfaction, “Not bad. It’s exactly as Zack had said.”“The Yates family reserved ten seats for us at the birthday banquet. If it’s only for your family, then at most, they’ll just give you five seats.”In truth, Senior Zimmer did not kno
Senior Zimmer gazed deeply at Mandy Zimmer. After thinking about it, he finally said, “Mandy if you have time, go and sort out the recent carrying value and the progress of the project. Send it to me, I would like to have a look.”Mandy knew that Senior Zimmer was using this as an excuse to intervene in the affairs of the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort project.However, Senior Zimmer’s request was quite reasonable. She could not refuse at all. She could only slightly nod, her expression unpleasant. Zack Zimmer glanced at Mandy with a complacent stare.‘Since Grandfather is willing to make a move and I can’t take you down today, there are still many chances in the future.’“Okay, let’s not talk about this. Let’s see who is going to attend the Yates family’s birthday banquet this time.” Senior Zimmer waved his hand. Now, it was time for him to demonstrate his authority.In truth, he did not expect this. He wondered why the Zimmer family was able to receive this invitation.Did th
At Zack Zimmer’s taunts, Harvey smiled faintly and said, “If I want to go, of course, I can go. If I don’t, no one can force me to.”Zack sneered, “You’re so good at bragging. Then you should go! If you can attend the birthday banquet, I will kneel in front of you!”Harvey laughed. “It’s not like you didn’t do that before. I’m not interested.”“You, you, you…!” Zack recalled the Antique Fair in Niumhi and his complexion worsened.Nevertheless, he took a deep breath and said, “Harvey, this is different from the past. At that time, you did a bit of power. That’s why the Naiswells invited you to the Antique Fair!”“The birthday banquet this time isn’t the same. It’s held by the Yates family, the first-class family in the provincial capital!”“The chief of the Yates family is the third-in-command in South Light!”“Such a family wouldn’t invite you just because you have a bit of ability!”“I initially thought that Mandy could be a representative of your family and attend the birthda
Lilian Yates immediately grew furious at Harvey’s remark. Glaring at him, she screamed, “Didn’t I just say it?!”“My brother is the head of the Yates family and the third-in-command in South Light!”“Are you saying that the third-in-command in South Light will personally come and send you the invitation card?”“Yes.” Harvey said indifferently, “I initially refused, but now, since Mandy wants to go, I’ll let him come.”Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer were both enraged.They had seen people bragging, but never to such an extent.It was just, Harvey’s lies seemed so close to the truth.Lilian did not even have the mood to get angry at this moment. Instead, she glanced at Mandy and said, “Mandy, as your mother, I kindly persuade you again. This kind of liar can only talk big without doing things practically. You should have kicked him out long ago!”Simon also left, lamenting. He was destined to have a miserable life in the next half of his life for getting involved with such a worth
In Buckwood Hotel.Although this place was not famous, it was not opened to the public. Instead, it was just a place used to entertain foreign guests and investors.This was where Grandma Yates’ birthday banquet was hosted.With this, we could also see the Yatese’ status in Buckwood.Today, the roads in this place were blocked by the police. Many of them were patrolling the surrounding area.Except for those with the invitation cards, no one else was permitted to access this area.It was said that even the waiters engaging in the internal services were specially and carefully selected. This was sufficient to further illustrate the influence of the Yates family in Buckwood.Luxury cars entered the hotel’s parking lot one after another. Those who exited these cars at the front of the hotel were all big shots from Buckwood’s elites.There were several figures from the business circles, as well. After all, the Yateses were an aristocratic family.Among these people, the Zimmer fam
“Father, we’re here to attend the birthday banquet. We have an invitation card.” Simon Zimmer said, gritting his teeth slightly.Simon couldn’t be sure whether Harvey was telling the truth, but he couldn't back down right now!“Oh? You have an invitation card?” Zack Zimmer laughed. “Then show it to us!” “This…”Simon automatically glanced at Harvey York.“Harvey said…”“What did he say?” Zack smiled.“Could it be that he told you he asked someone to send the invitation card here and let you come over?”“Yes.” Simon replied.“Pfft! Hahaha…”In the next second, the Zimmers roared with laughter. How could Simon and his family believe in Harvey’s clumsy lie?This was so funny!Senior Zimmer looked at Simon and said, “You’re still so stupid. I shouldn’t have brought your family to Buckwood back then. I truly feel ashamed!”It was apparent that Senior Zimmer had forgotten why the Zimmer family was able to come to Buckwood in the first placeFeeling the mocking gazes and merc
"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
