“You…” Felix Howard showed a hint of anger in his eyes.‘How dare that filth try to stop me?’Autumn Reyes seemed to have realized what had happened and swiftly interrupted them.“It’s your first time meeting each other as relatives. Let me introduce everyone.“Felix Howard is Sky Corporation’s department manager. I’m sure you’ve heard of it before? It’s the corporation that the legendary Prince York built up!“He spent a great deal of money to get the opportunity from overseas to be headhunted by the corporation. His achievements in Sky Corporation will be immense in the future!“And we’re preparing to continue developing in Buckwood now that we’re back in the country once again. Please come visit more often!”While hearing Autumn Reyes introducing Felix Howard humbly, he then intentionally looked at Mandy Zimmer.“Cousin Mandy, I heard that your company works under Sky Corporation, we’re like family now. I’ll take good care of your company.”Mandy Zimmer smiled.“Thank yo
“How do I describe him…?” Felix Howard had a dignified look on his face.“When I first saw Prince York, there was a circle of light shining behind his back coincidentally making him look like a god!“The top man is not just for show after all!“And that wasn’t all. His car must be a custom-made Rolls Royce. The exterior of his car was studded full of diamonds as if it were the idiosyncrasy of Prince York himself!“Most importantly, there were about a thousand guards following Prince York. Ordinary people could not even get close to him!”Pfft—Harvey York could not hold in his laughter once again.Felix furiously exclaimed all of a sudden, “Why are you still laughing, you filth? Are you mocking me, or are you mocking Prince York?!”The crowd was frowning after hearing that.In South Light, especially the people in Buckwood knew about Prince York’s true powers.And Harvey dared to scoff at Prince York himself? Was he looking for his own death?Harvey York sternly replied, “Ac
The crowd’s gaze all shifted toward Harvey York swiftly after hearing that.Amelia Garza said with a cold chuckle, “Mandy, your husband’s an interesting one. He is talking as if he’s Prince York!”Autumn Reyes laughed in a cold tone and said, “I heard that he also called himself the Chief Instructor of the Sword Camp on some occasions, and now he’s Prince York?“Is he an airhead? Why does he imagine impractical things every day?”Mandy Zimmer glared at Harvey spitefully and said, “I knew I shouldn’t have brought you along. Spouting nonsense in front of Amelia Garza and the others. This is just embarrassing.”Harvey was speechless.‘I really don’t know who I’m proposing to!‘Where did all this news come from?’Felix Howard looked at Harvey with ridicule and then pridefully said after, “Mandy, Mother, Amelia. What I’m saying isn’t just rumors. There’s definite proof and people that work in the corporation had all begun to fall in line because of this.”“So, do you know the woman
Buckwood, at the Zimmers’ house.Senior Zimmer was sitting on his iron throne, weeping bitterly.“The Gods have protected us! I thought that Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were going to use the Yates family to climb the ranks and the Zimmers were about to get trampled on!“I didn’t think that we’d have a chance to retaliate!”The other members of the family heard that and started quarreling as loud as a frying pan.“Grandfather, what’s the good news?!” Zack Zimmer anxiously asked since he had not gotten the news yet.Senior Zimmer immediately casted the contents on his phone onto the television in the hall. Everyone was shocked after they instinctively looked at the feed.Prince York of Sky Corporation would be proposing to his woman in three days at the asset integration ceremony!And his woman came from the Zimmers!Zack Zimmer started to tremble in his boots after seeing the news.“Grandfather, they are talking about Zimmers. Are they talking about us?”“Of course! Why wou
At Half Moon Bay.When Harvey York came back from the phone call, Mandy Zimmer had already finished checking in.Harvey did not say anything more after looking deeply into Mandy’s eyes.In three days, he would give her a surprise.***In the hotel room.Autumn Reyes was frowning at that moment.“Amelia, Felix. When Aunty Lilian gave me this task beforehand, I was still wondering if this would be too cruel or not!“It seems like she was right after all. Her son-in-law was indeed just filth!“The only way for Mandy to get her happiness is to force him out of the Zimmers!“Oh, Felix. According to the plan, you better irritate the filth thoroughly. It’s best to fry his brain and make him do something irrational!”Felix Howard gave a wide smile.“Mother, don’t worry. This task was Grandma Yates’ plan after all.“Our relationship with her has been a bit rusty lately. I’ll use this opportunity to do well in front of her!“But, Harvey really is just filth! It’s fine if he has no
“Who is this even? Ray Hart opened the door for him!”“He’s not that old even. It looks like he’s in his twenties. Is he really that remarkable?”“Looks like he’s nobility in Buckwood! He’s awesome!”“...”The hotel was already crowded, everyone there was gossiping endlessly. Some nosy people even took pictures and uploaded them on the internet.***In the car, Ray Hart was bowing and his face full of excitement and admiration.The living legend sitting in his car was indeed a blessing for the whole family.Even the driver was shocked beyond belief.Many bosses and government officials that came to Half Moon Bay could not even meet with Ray Hart even if they wanted to. They were usually respectful toward him as well. They would not dare to do as they please.But in front of this young man, Ray Hart was unbelievably careful.The driver could not even imagine the identity that the man had possessed.“Ahem…” Ray Hart cleared his throat as soon as he was about to speak.“Sir Y
At the lobby of the hotel.Autumn Reyes and her family were already waiting in the lobby.The two families having dinner together was the actual crux of the matter.Felix Howard was overcoming boredom by scrolling through his phone.He suddenly scrolled toward a piece of news, then said while astonished, “Looks like we missed a spectacle today!”“Ray Hart from the Hart family in Half Moon Bay actually came to the hotel to fetch somebody!“Seems like some great character checked into the hotel. I wonder if we’d have a chance to meet sometime!”Ray Hart had an extremely high status in all of Half Moon Bay. Everyone here would know about him.Autumn Reyes and Amelia Garza were shocked beyond belief hearing that a big shot like that was fetching a person on his own accord.They all clumped together to look at the picture of the news on the phone.“Here, this is the legendary big shot, even Ray Hart needed to open the door for him. This is insane!”Felix Howard was showing immens
Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were staring at Mandy Zimmer, with a bit of anger after hearing Autumn Reyes ask about their son-in-law.“Where did that filth go?”Mandy Zimmer came back to her senses and replied, “There was a traffic jam when he was coming over to fetch you all. He should be halfway there by now. I think he’s almost back.”“That’s good then. I thought he already ran off somewhere!”Autumn Reyes was at ease as she exchanged a look with Lilian Yates at the same time.The two had the same idea in this situation.And that was to use Felix to suppress Harvey.It was best to make him embarrassed beyond belief and leave Mandy himself.Later in the afternoon, the Zimmers and Autumn’s family had afternoon tea together.Autumn Reyes was enthusiastic when Harvey arrived, her facial expression was utterly different from the day before.Harvey was baffled by the sight.‘Did she change as soon as Simon and Lilian came?’Amelia Garza cleared her throat at that moment and h
Blade took a deep breath. He remembered his own duty and stood in front of Clarion, shielding him. Then, he said with a cold expression on his face, "Madam, Mr. Zeon, my apologies. However, as I'm currently the Assistant Hallmaster and Clarion is my superior, it's my duty to protect him. May I ask how he offended the two of you to the point that he pressed the red button?"Blade put on the face of someone who was only doing his job. He was loyal to his duties.Clarion's expression changed. He did not realize that Blade was a Jackson. However, since Blade chose duty over his personal ties, it was enough to calm Clarion down.Whoosh!At the moment when everything was at a standstill, Zeon suddenly stepped forward and appeared right before the crowd. He immediately slapped Blade's face.Slap!He slapped Blade so hard and loud that Blade stumbled backward as he was not on his guard and almost fell on the floor. Luckily, Clarion reacted quickly and helped Blade up. Otherwise, Blade wo
"I'll give you one last chance to answer me. If you refuse, it won't be my fault for not showing you any mercy." Camellia's pretty face became colder as she stared at Clarion before waving her right hand.After what she did, she saw all the security from Platinum Casino stepped forward, as if they were ready to make a move at any time.Clarion smiled. "Looks like not only have you captured him, it doesn't sound like you're going to release him at all. Looks like I mean nothing to you madam!"Camellia sat down back on the sofa as she folded her legs once more. She raised her chin as she looked at Clarion, coldly saying, "You're right. You mean nothing to me. What? Are you going to go mad? Do it, then! Show it to me! I'm curious to see just what our Young Master Clarion Parker can do to make a scene!"Clarion took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Don't blame me for this, then!"After that, Clarion's right hand pulled out a small red button and pressed it.Vroom!As soon as he di
"All your casino shares?" Camellia stroked her chin as she gave Clarion a meaningful smile. "If I remember, they all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars, and the interest you gain annually is also quite substantial. Without that, your worth as the heir of Parkerville will drop significantly."Looks like Hale probably saved your life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have paid such a price for a garbage like him," Camellia's eyes were judgmental when she said those words. She stared at Clarion curiously, wanting to see something from his actions and expressions.Unfortunately, Clarion maintained his cool and indifference."Madam, it'll take a long time to talk about the relationship between us. Hence, there's no need for me to explain everything here. All I want to ask is, will you accept this trade?"Camellia once again walked over to Clarion's side and bent closer, whispering in his ears. "Of course I'm willing, since you're offering me so much. Unfortunately, since I don't have Hale
When Clarion saw how Camellia pushed her face closer to his face, he had to use so much effort to stop himself from immediately slapping her.Harvey's expression was also getting colder as he stared at Camellia. He had to admit it. If she was willing, she could easily make many people furious. That was why Harvey calmed himself down even more and was not rushing to make his move. Instead, he calmly observed Clarion, wanting to see how he would deal with this.He believed this simple confrontation would make Clarion grow quickly. It would be a good thing if there was someone who could compete with Dan among the heirs of Grand City.Slap!When Camellia saw that Clarion would not touch her, she smiled coldly and once again slapped Clarion on the face."Pathetic! You really are useless! No wonder Dan openly admitted that someone like you is not qualified to be his right-hand man!" Camellia publicly humiliated Clarion's character and dignity.A man who would not even resist was worse
"I also know why you captured Hale. But madam… A simple thought is all it takes. If Hale had mastered the so-called Chapter of Ascension, he would already be invincible in this world. He wouldn't fall into someone's grasp so easily," said Clarion as if he was explaining Camellia for her own good."Not to mention that possessing the Chapter itself is simply going to bring you trouble. I'm also saving you by taking Hale away. I hope you'll agree to my decision. This is really for your own good."Camellia let out a cold laugh when she heard Clarion's reasoning. "Judah, aren't you a little too confident of yourself? You attacked my people, threatened me to release the man, and said this is for my own good? Since when has Parkerville stopped practicing martial arts and started to teach acting skills instead?"Camellia walked over and immediately slapped Clarion on the face. "You fool! Do you think I will act for your sake?"Slap!Clarion could not help but take a few steps back, his fa
"Clarion, you've always been a good boy. You can always read the atmosphere whenever you do something," Camellia said to Clarion with a sweet smile. "The reason you came to my Platinum Casino must be because you're ready to pass your position in Earth Hall back to my son, correct? If that's the case, I don't mind accepting it. But if it's something else, my apologies then. I don't have the strength to care about anything else now that I'm too worried about my son."Zeon gave Clarion a dry smile. "You do understand what she's talking about, right? Now, quickly give us the power over Earth Hall. That way, we have some room for discussion. Otherwise…"Then, Zeon put something thumb-sized on the coffee table. Quite a few people raised their eyebrows when they saw what it was. It was the Martial Art Weapon, Thunderblast!That bastard really was quite crazy. He did not even prepare any precaution when handling something like the Thunderblast, walking around with it so recklessly. Was he n
Before Clarion could even decide, Neve already forced her way forward and shielded Clarion behind her. She yelled at Zeon, "Stop pushing it, Zeon! Enough is enough! Do you really think you can have your way with us?!"Zeon gave a wicked smile and wanted to say something when Camellia, who had been watching things unfold, clapped her hands. She instantly attracted everyone's attention, and her delicate voice rang. "Zeon, that's enough. Clarion is still a member of Grand City, regardless of what had happened. We've raised him for so long, he wouldn't kneel and grovel before another man just because he was being waved at, right?"Trust him. He won't be such a doormat, will he? Not to mention that if you let him lick your shoe, he's going to ruin it. This is something I bought for you from Givenchy, so stop wasting it. Not to mention, if Mr. Otto finds out about this, what would you do if he fainted? You have to pay some respect to our elders, alright?"Then, Camellia gave Clarion a dee
"Now… Do you think I won't have the guts to kill you?" Zeon then spun the pistol in his hand using his finger and then pointed it at Clarion's forehead again. He thought he looked cool doing that.Then, his finger slowly tightened around the trigger, and the spring in the trigger was pulled tight, ready to fire. Even Clarion, who fancied himself as someone who did not fear death, could feel his breathing becoming rapid.It was obvious that Zeon really wanted to kill Clarion as his murderous intention flared.While it was well known that White Peak was filled with all kinds of madmen, they did not expect Zeon to be so terrifying when he lost his mind!Neve already wanted to step forward to stop it, but the muzzle on her head made her scared of making any sudden moves. Meanwhile, Harvey simply looked at what was happening calmly.Now was not the time to make a move. Others might believe that Zeon would really pull the trigger, but Harvey understood much about these heirs who were al
Clarion cleared his throat as he caught everyone's attention before bowing at Camellia. "Hello, madam. Please forgive me for dropping by unannounced."Before Camellia could even say anything, Zeon already smiled coldly at him. He stood up and walked over to Clarion and patted Clarion's face as he said in an icy tone, "And you do realize you're not invited? If you want to apologize, show us your sincerity. You can start with prostrating. I believe the madam won't put too much blame on you."All the men and women sneeringly looked at Clarion. It would be rare to see the heir from a huge family in Grand City prostrate. Quite a few already instinctively pulled out their phone, wanting to take photos of it.When Neve saw what had happened, she frowned. "Are you an idiot, Zeon? Why do you think Clarion will kneel?""He won't?" Zeon scoffed, pulled out a pistol, and immediately put the muzzle on Clarion's head. "Now, will you kneel?"Clarion was also someone with a temper. He glared at Z
