Grandma Yates grinned widely and said, “Keith, you’re incredible, you even managed to invite both Sheldon Xavier from the South Lights and Mr. Kyle Quinlan!“What an honor for an old lady like me!”The other Yateses all turned their eyes onto Keith Yates excitedly and exclaimed, “Chief Yates, you’re amazing! Someone, as distinguished as them, is actually coming over to celebrate Grandma’s birthday!”“How did you do that?!”“It seems that it wouldn’t be long before the Yates family gets to become another top-class family already!”At that moment, all of the Yates family felt proud of themselves.This was such an honorable thing!The guests all had looks of envy and admiration on their faces as well.Not long ago, it was said that only Kyle Quinlan, the South Light’s second-in-command was there at Grandma York’s birthday banquet, who left in a rush after attending.And now at Grandma Yates’ birthday ceremony, the first and second-in-command would both be here. This indicated tha
“So now what should we do?” Kyle Quinlan felt a bit awkward, they’re here to sort out some matter and didn’t even think of bringing any presents.Now even Grandma Yates was out welcoming them, it would be weird if they stayed in the car right?The two glanced at each other for a moment and smiled helplessly before stepping out of the car.Sheldon Xavier then congratulated ahead and said, “Grandma Yates, I’ve come uninvited so I wish you good fortune and bliss!”Kyle added, “I wish Grandma for eternal health!”Grandma Yates was so excited that she exclaimed “Great!” so many times.The Yates family were descendants of state officials so they understood the two men’s statutes very well. Which wasn’t something the Yates family could compare themselves to as the gap was simply too big.They’re making the family feel so honored by sending their wishes.Even if they’re not intending to give any birthday presents at all, Grandma Yates didn’t even mind.Their presence was the most hono
In the rear of the Audi A6, there were two highly respected figures sitting in it at that moment.Both of them unconsciously wanted to stand up seeing Harvey York pulling open the car door, but they were stopped by him.“Just simply find a place.”Harvey waved his hand.Although he said it casually, Sheldon Xavier still let the driver drive the car into the South Light government office. They then went to a side room suitable for private meetings.The place was not luxurious, but rather old. However, the tea served by the staff was top-notch.Harvey took a sip casually and said, “Elder Xavier, why did you need to find me urgently?”As for Kyle Quinlan, Harvey just nodded to him casually. It was considered a greeting.Kyle smiled and said, “Prince York, I heard that Melissa Leo and others have left South Light, and now all the assets of the Yorks have been transferred to Sky Corporation.“So, Yonathan York is now the person in charge of the Yorks?”Harvey replied indifferently
Sheldon Xavier’s complexion was not good. He then sighed and said after a moment, “That person’s status was too high!“I heard that even the big boss of Country H thinks highly of him and intends to let him go to Wolsing military as the Chief Instructor…“Just let him do whatever he wants!“The most important thing for us now is to bind our family and subordinates from offending him.”Kyle Quinlan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He then quickly stood up and said, “Right, thanks for reminding me, Elder Xavier. Those guys in my family usually lack discipline and do not behave well. So, I’ll have to go back and warn them now.”***At the same time.Harvey returned to Buckwood Hotel.The birthday banquet was already drawing to a close by this time.However, because the two big shots in South Light Province came to celebrate the old lady’s birthday…Many officials from South Light Province and Buckwood came to send congratulatory gifts in person after hearing about the news
Grandma Yates glanced at Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates again after speaking. She then said, “You both should discipline him more!“After all, Mandy has a bright future now!“Don’t let him affect Mandy’s career. Some things should be decided as soon as possible!”Apparently, Grandma Yates believed that the Yates family would soon become a top family.Then, she must not fancy a live-in son-in-law like Harvey!Even if Harvey gave her the Authentic Lung Tonic.After all, she valued the younger generation’s potential and future, and not the others.Simon and Lilian clearly understood her words, and said solemnly at the moment, “Okay, Mother, we know!”Soon after Mandy and her family left…Grandma Yates only said in a deep voice, “Keith, what do you think of them?”Keith Yates thought for a while and said, “There’s not too much future for Simon and Lilian!“However, Mandy is quite good!“It’s a pity that she has such a husband. Hence, I have a bad impression of her.”Grandma Yat
Simon Zimmer frowned deeply when he heard the words. “It won’t be that easy. The old man won’t let us leave!”“Especially when we’re bringing along the resources and projects together!”“This thing is too complicated!”Mandy frowned slightly and said, “Leaving the Zimmer family is indeed a good choice but it is not an easy feat to pull!”Mandy knew the Zimmer family all too well.This family did not have much ability in the first place. They were only great at being blood-sucking leeches than anyone else.If she wanted to draw a line with them, unless she left everything behind, otherwise, it would be even more difficult.Harvey suddenly said, “Mandy, just do what you want. Do it boldly, I’ll surely support you!”Mandy smiled at Harvey after listening to his supportive words. This was what she liked about Harvey. No matter what decision she made, Harvey would certainly have her back.However, both Simon and Lilian’s expressions were strange.They were wondering if Harvey was
According to the rumors, Prince York already knew that the Yates family, the Robbins family, the Surrey family, and the Cloude family had all made a move on him back then.Now that Prince York had come back strong, it might give those four first-class families sleepless nights.***At the Moon Lake of Buckwood. This was a five-A-level scenic spot.However, the main area of this scenic spot became a private club many years ago.Now, there were hundreds of security guards scattered around this area.There were also some snipers hidden in the dark, and occasionally scarlet red dots swept across the field.This scenic spot was completely cordoned today. It was declared to the public that the spot was undergoing maintenance, but it was actually chartered.There were many signal jamming setups around the scenic area to ensure that no calls could be made in this place and all electronic gadgets would also cease to function here.At this moment, on a small island in the center of the
At this moment, Stephen York’s bait suddenly moved slightly.As soon as he threw his arms upward, he saw a silver Arowana flung by him and landed onshore.Seeing the silver Arowana jumping around and struggling, the four chiefs looked perplexed.Stephen was watching this scene with great interest. He only dropped his fishing rod after the silver Arowana died. He then clapped his hands, turned around, and smiled. He said, “Chiefs, what’re your thoughts on the huge incident that’s going on in Buckwood recently?”Grandma Yates was slightly puzzled. She was the first to speak. “Speaking of this, I also want to ask Young Master York a question. Why are there rumors outside stating that the York was no longer in power and that all the assets of the Yorks were taken over by Sky Corporation?”Stephen put on a meaningful smile and said, “It’s just that we’ve lost a game and returned some things to my elder brother. However, losing a few assets to get to know some true news is not bad.”Gr
Harvey stood behind Clarion as he looked at all these men and women in their luxurious outfits. Other than the heirs of the large families from Grand City, Harvey could not really tell how powerful they were. Harvey even noticed quite a few mutant elites from Country A. All of them gathered together and all the topics they discussed about were extremely sophisticated, making them feel that they were the most important individuals in this world.Other than these people, she saw a woman wearing purple traditional garb in the middle of the group. She could not tell the woman's age, but her figure was slender and curvaceous. She carried an esteemed imposition. Or perhaps, it was better to describe her imposition as queen-like.She held an exquisite hookah in her hand that was made from gold. She would sometimes take a puff before blowing out a stream of smoke, as if she were some kind of empress.Quite a few men would glance at her before averting their eyes, as if they were too afraid
Every word Clarion heard from Jade made his expression turn even darker. When she finished, Clarion almost wanted to stomp on the woman even as he suppressed his anger. Just when Clarion was going to slap Jade in the face as she deserved, Neve stopped him.Neve then took a golden card from her Hermes handbag and gave it to Jade. "I have a member card. This is the card your madam gave to me when the Platinum Casino was first established. I believe you will accept this."Neve never paid much attention to the card when she first received it and simply kept it in her handbag. She did not expect it to have some use today. "This is one out of the fifty member cards the casino gave out at the beginning. I was told it gives me the highest privilege. You won't deny this, will you?"While Neve was smiling, her words were cold and harsh. "If you won't, then I can assume the Platinum Casino has a problem with the Fosters of the Universal Sect. I will then report this to my grandfather."Clario
The woman was beaming at Clarion and said, "Everyone knows who you are in Grand City, sir. My name is Jade Bierstadt, and I'm your biggest fan. Although I'm a fan, I still need to obey the rules here. It will be bad for society if everyone can simply break the rules, right?"In other words, it's not because I have something against you. But it's because I have no choice as this is my duty. Since I'm making a living here, I need to perform my duties to earn my salary, correct? So, please forgive us and show us workers some mercy. But if you must ignore the rules here, then I'm afraid I'll have no choice…"And then, Jade gently clapped her hands. A group of men-in-black slowly walked out of the VIP passage after that. There were also some clicking sounds from the high ground some distance away, as several men started to parade their sniper rifles.The Platinum Casino had truly demonstrated their superiority today.Harvey narrowed his eyes. He had quickly determined that whether it wa
Vroom!When the sun was setting, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly stopped in front of the Platinum Casino.Clarion was extremely against Harvey wanting to help Hale, but in the end, he still could not resist Harvey's insistence. He had no choice but to take Harvey to see Camellia.This was because Clarion genuinely meant well toward Harvey.No matter how it looked, Harvey had been surrounded by enemies ever since he had arrived in Grand City. In this kind of situation, Clarion hoped that Harvey would have a few enemies left.At the very least, they should have a talk before going for each other's throat.Of course, Harvey had no hope that anything could be achieved by talking. However, when he saw how Clarion was thinking of him, he believed he should at least make the effort to meet the legendary Queen Bee Camellia and see if they could actually talk things out.Clarion also felt relieved when he saw that Harvey was willing to talk. He even invited Neve to be there too, hoping th
"If I remember correctly, Dan is also a True Warrior elite, correct? Is he not interested in this Chapter of Ascension? He didn't have a hand in this?" asked Harvey when he remembered something else.Clarion smirked. "Well… How should I put this? Of course, everyone who practices martial arts will be interested in the Chapter of Ascension. One becomes practically invincible once one can step into that level. Once a person reaches that stage, all the politicking and schemes will become pointless, since they're nothing before absolute power."However, Clarion heaved a sigh. "Unfortunately, one cannot instantly become a master when it comes to martial arts. The Chapter of Ascension is indeed something very beneficial, but it also causes more harm than good. Unless someone possesses extreme power, those who have it in their possession will be attacked by everyone else."This doesn't only apply to Grand City. Even when one is outside of Grand City, there will be countless factions and el
"Alright, enough talk," interrupted Harvey as he changed the subject. "Why would someone like Camellia be interested in Hale? Even if he was once a martial arts prodigy, so what? Don't tell me one of the Seven Families of Grand City is interested in his martial arts manuals."Clarion's expression was obviously hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he could not decide. Harvey did not force him, however. Harvey calmly reasoned, "If it's something you can say, say it. But if you can't, then just stay quiet. I won't force you when it comes to things like this."Clarion sighed. "It's not that I can't say it. It's just that this involves too many people. It's extremely complicated. I'm worried you can't climb back up because it goes so deep."Harvey calmly replied, "Don't worry. Forget about Grand City. Few things in this world can make me worry about it being too complicated."Clarion scoffed but still whispered. "I'll be direct. Everything I say to you right now can't be proven by
"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
