Chapter 759

Author: A Potato-Loving Wolf
Slap!

Under the crowds’ dumbfounded gaze, Grandma Yates swung her cane against Harvey’s back.

After hitting him, she spat icily, “It’s important to know your own limitations! Aren’t you aware of your own abilities?”

She then jabbed her cane in front of Simon and Lilian.

“Properly discipline your live-in son-in-law! How is it that he cannot comprehend when to talk and when not to?”

“If you don’t know how to teach him properly, then take him out here and leave!”

“My birthday banquet is supposed to be a happy one, not a circus where a clown can act like an insane person!”

Her words were too heavy.

Simon and Lilian were dumbfounded. They could only bow their heads down and stay silent.

Lilian had tears dripping down her face.

This was her family!

She dreamt of coming back to her family full of grace.

Yet now that she returned, she was forced to endure shame of this magnitude!

Right now, she wanted to hang herself.

Embarrassing!

How could she be able to raise her head up high

    How shameful!Before, Lilian thought that she had already lived a shameful life in the Zimmer family.She didn’t think she could surpass the humiliation she felt today!Even Simon Zimmer was grinding on his teeth.They were here to get closer to the Yates family. Even if they could not bathe in the Yateses’ limelight, they could at least build some connections.But what happened in the end? Other than getting utterly humiliated, what did they gain?“Leave! You’ve embarrassed the whole Yates family!” Finn shouted, unable to hold himself back. “This is just outrageous!” “You can embarrass yourselves all you want, but don’t drag my father and grandmother into this!”“You all may not resent being shamed, but the family cannot lose face!”Finn remarked bitterly, resentful that Simon’s family did not meet his expectations. Simon and Lilian had no choice. They could only hang their heads low as they retreated from the hall.Mandy Zimmer and Xynthia Zimmer were about to leave as w

    “Let’s hurry and get to the front. It’s almost our turn!”Simon and Lilian hurried to the front of the hall shamelessly, hoping for the moment for a counterattack.They began to imagine a scene where Grandma Yates smiled from ear to ear when she received their gift.“Up next is a pair of antique porcelain vases with a history that spans five hundred years! These were made out of official kilns during ancient times, and were extremely valuable. If someone were to collect the pair, the value would skyrocket!”The host continued reading out the list.Tanya Yates and Leyton Luv stood up, and respectfully congratulated Grandma Yates.“We wish you to have fortune that spreads across the seas and live as long as the mountains!”Grandma Yates wore a wide smile that could not be covered. She signalled the host to bring the pair of vases in front of her. She took a long look at them, nodding approvingly. “Oh, Tanya! You’re too sweet!”“Of course! I’ll do anything to satisfy you.” Tany

    “You!”Grandma Yates trembled with fury.‘Why did Mandy Zimmer and her family give me a molding mudball?! Are they mocking me for still being alive at this age?!”“Sister, you don’t have to give Grandma Yates anything if you don’t want to! If you don’t have the money, anything would be better than this. Even just fruits will do!”Tanya Yates was speechless.In the beginning, she wanted to help her sister and put in some good words for Lilian.But Grandma Yates was already trembling in anger, and Tanya dared not provoke the old woman any further.Lilian Yates wanted to slam her head on the floor very badly.Things would still be fine if she and her husband didn’t walk up in front.But they did, and they became the center of attention in the entire hall… and then gave something like this!Embarrassing!Not only to her mother’s side of the family, but also to Buckwood. No, the entire South Light!‘I shouldn’t have come!’‘It’s all Harvey’s fault!’‘This man’s always doing mo

    Mandy looked at Harvey and walked toward him, breathless. She exclaimed quietly, “Harvey, what are you trying to do?”“What can you do even if you keep staring at the gift box?”“A flower isn’t going to suddenly pop out just by you looking at it, right?”Harvey York frowned and replied, “You don’t understand. Master Naiswell gave me this before. It must be valuable!”Mandy Zimmer chuckled.‘Who do you think Master Naiswell is?’‘Alright, let’s say that the man looks up to you since you know how to appraise antiques.’‘But saying that he was the one who gave you this, who are you kidding?’The gift giving ceremony continued.Even Alex Swift and the others prepared their gifts.Of course, their gifts weren’t as extravagant as the rest, being only ordinary calligraphy and paintings of the sort.Still, they were all government officials. For them to attend the banquet was already the best gift they could offer. Grandma Yates would not dare to ask for anything more from them.Th

    Everyone’s sights all fell on Harvey York. Once again, he had become the center of attention.Harvey York pointed at the mudball that was thrown to the ground by the host with a righteous face.The crowd glared at him with disdain after seeing his actions.‘This live-in son-in-law is shameless!’‘How dare he still speak at this point!’‘He clearly gave some sort of trash. How dare he say that his gift was the original pallet after he heard Keith Yates talk about it?!’‘That thing is South Light’s first-rated family, the Naiswell Patriarch, Shane Naiswell’s precious little baby!’‘It was said that the first-in-command of the military force in South Light asked for one before, but to no avail.’‘He’d give this to a live-in son-in-law like Harvey York? Why would he?’‘Is it because he's filth?!’“Harvey! What are you doing?! Stop playing around!”Mandy was on the verge of tears.‘Can’t he see what’s happening right now? Why is he still causing a ruckus?’‘Does he still think

    The crowd who saw everything wanted to come up and slap Harvey York to death.‘What’s going on here?’‘Why is this man so disgusting? He’s doing it intentionally!’Simon and Lilian, who had seen the whole thing, wanted nothing more than to hide under a table.Embarrassing!Too embarrassing!Things were already fine before, things had already passed.But then this bastard actually claimed that the trash in his hand was actually the Authentic Lung Tonic!Wasn’t he afraid of being exposed?Right now, Simon wanted to strangle Harvey dead.Zack rose from his place and exclaimed,“Grandma Yates, I’ll represent the Zimmers to make a stance!”“This man, Harvey York, is the live-in son-in-law from my family!”“However, all of his actions have nothing to do with us whatsoever!”Listening to Zack, the rest of the guests confirmed that the disgusting-looking pallet was not the Authentic Lung Tonic.Babbles burst out in unison from the entire crowd.“Patriarch Yates, why are you still

    Finn Yates couldn’t help but ask, “Grandma, is this the so-called Authentic Lung Tonic?“This is impossible!“That thing is practically equivalent to Master Naiswell’s life, he would never offer it just to anyone. What’s more, he’s just a mere live-in son-in-law!”The others also voiced out in agreement.“Grandma Yates, you must look at it carefully! There are a lot of con men these days. If one is not careful enough he or she will certainly fall for it!”“Yeah! This is medicine and not something to joke about. If it’s a fake one, not only you won’t get any benefits out of it, you might even get poisoned!”“Grandma Yates, this guy doesn’t look like someone who could own the Authentic Lung Tonic!”Keith Yates knitted his eyebrows together and said, “Mom, the Authentic Lung Tonic owned by Shane Naiswell it’s not something even the army’s first-in-command could get, so what about other people?“Please do think straight about this!”Keith was anxious about this matter, if his old

    Mandy Zimmer was trembling hopelessly as well.She could accept the fact that her own husband was boastful and unaccomplished.But she would never accept that her husband was a thief!At that moment, even Keith Yates’ face darkened as he spoke, “Harvey York, now both the second-in-command of the South Light General Police Station and the first-in-command of the Buckwood Police Station are here!“At a time like this, you better clarify the matter!“It still won’t be too late to repeal for your mistake!”This wasn’t because of how understanding Keith was toward Harvey, it was only because if a matter such as something is stolen appeared in Grandma Yates’ birthday ceremony, the Yates family’s reputation would go down the drain!So now the best thing to do was to make Harvey return the thing while hoping Shane Naiswell to accept his apology.Only by then, the negative repercussions arising from this incident would be diminished as far as possible.Out of everyone’s expectation, Ha

    "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
