“He’ll be here soon.”As Ray Hart spoke, sounds of footsteps could be heard outside the door, followed by someone pushing the meeting room’s door open.Countless eyes all placed upon Harvey York.“It’s you, the live-in son-in-law? Why are you here?”In the midst of the crowd, Felix Howard was the first to react as he pointed at Harvey while speaking up furiously.Didn’t the live-in son-in-law know there were certain places which he shouldn’t be there?His sudden appearance wouldn’t be any help if someone discovered their cousin relationship. He wouldn’t be able to hide it himself for sure by then.“It’s the toy from that day?”Rosanne Barr and the others were surprised as well.Almost instantly, she regained her composure and jutted her finger at the security guard before yelling, “What kind of security guard are you for letting in any kind of trash? How did you even allow him to enter our higher-ups’ meeting room here?”“Kick him out of here at once so that Prince York’s moo
There were rumors going around about how Mandy Zimmer was Prince York’s underground lover.A lot of people even saw it as the biggest joke ever.But at this moment, everyone understood immediately.Mandy was definitely not just some underground lover!She’s the woman whom Prince York married in a just and honorable manner!And the proposing ceremony that was going to happen later today was all prepared for no one but her! This woman must be extremely blessed and lucky!Right then, Roxanne Barr’s face was twisted, full of disdain and jealousy.Why?! Why did it have to be that girl! Why couldn’t it be herself?!Harvey simply crossed his leg over the meeting table as his eyes scanned through Roxanne and the rest of them, who couldn’t hide their shock, only did he chuckled. “Everyone, good to see you again.”Recalling how they insulted Harvey three days ago and what kind of things they told him, some of those few higher-ups struggling to remain calm and composed even fainted rig
After waiting for Harvey York to leave, Ray set his razor-like eyes onto Roxanne Barr and the rest of them.Roxanne, Felix Howard, Brody Jenner, and the rest all lowered their heads, dared not to speak at all. They couldn’t even breathe properly.Ray landed his sight on Roxanne and asked casually, “Which hand was it?”Although Ray didn’t say anything, Roxanne instantly knew what he was talking about. At that moment, she could only reach her trembling right hand out and said with a shaky voice, “This hand.”“Seeing how you’re a woman, ten slaps will do,” Ray announced.“Smack!”Roxanne didn’t dare to defend herself at all or blabber any more nonsense as she gave herself a big slap.The slap was so strong that her cheek instantly turned swollen and all red.Because Roxanne knew very well if she didn’t satisfy Ray well enough, she would have an even worse ending for herself.Ray didn’t bother to look at Roxanne anymore as he turned to Brody and the rest and said, “You all are men
Hearing that, Quinn sniggered sweetly and said, “Grandpa is teaching the right thing, we should always be kind to everyone, you all heard what grandpa said, kneel with your heads on the floor!”Mandy Zimmer replied coldly, “We entered the door through the proper channel. Why should we kneel down for you?”Quinn sneered with a ‘pfft’ and said, “Okay then, even if you did enter with the proper channel, but didn’t you all forget? I am the mistress of this place. Now I order you to kneel before us with your heads on the floor!”“If you don’t, I’ll make your lives hard after Prince York proposes to me!”With that, Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were full of worry.Although Harvey York might have some status, how would he be even compared to Prince York?Prince York was the legend of the South Light. He would only have to move his lips if he wanted to make someone suffer!And based on Quinn’s personality, she really would do such a thing.Right at that moment, a few servants walked ov
“So then, let us deliver our utmost genuine blessings to Prince York and his woman!”With that, thunderous applause erupted in the hall without stopping. Everyone was all excited, waiting to see the real faces of that couple.To be fancied by Prince York and be his woman was definitely as lucky and straightforward as your ancestral grave emitting smoke.There were rumors previously about how it would be the daughter of the Zimmer family. Most of the people didn’t believe it.Now everyone was waiting to see who would be the heroine today!Right then, Ray clapped once, accompanied by eighteen workers in white suits strode out from the backstage.These workers were all soldiers from the Sword’s Army camp, plus every one of them were from respective distinguished families of the great Country H. Thus, they had such noble and dominant air that it was astonishing.Even though they weren’t in army suits, they’re still standing strong and handsome there.This made everyone couldn’t hel
“Hum…”At this moment, Quinn Zimmer felt that her brain was going to blow up.She was not the woman that Prince York had a crush on originally.She was in a daze at that moment. Her eyes unconsciously fell on Mandy Zimmer, and her body could not help but tremble in the next moment.Mandy?!Could it be that Mandy was the one that Prince York was about to propose to?If that was the case, she might as well die!At this moment, Quinn just wanted to die, hitting her head to the ground. Unfortunately, she could not muster the courage to do so.Mandy was confused at the moment. She could not wrap her head around what had happened.Meanwhile, Ray Hart stepped forward and walked in front of Mandy. He bowed again, ninety degrees, and said respectfully, “Sister-in-law, please accept Prince York’s proposal!“These are some gifts that Prince York prepared for you today!“A villa at the foot of Silver Nimbus Mountain!“A Rolls-Royce Phantom!“Cash amounting to one hundred and thirty-fo
Moreover, Mandy Zimmer would have never guessed that the person that Ray Hart mentioned was standing just next to her at this moment, waiting for her answer.She took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind.Mandy smiled slightly at the next moment and said, “Sir Ray, I truly appreciate Prince York’s gesture!“However, please go back and inform him that I’m not suitable for him. So, I refuse.”Bang…It was as if thunder had struck the ground.The whole crowd was stunned.Everyone had petrified expressions on their faces. They were in total disbelief.How many young girls would want to get married to a famous and rich man nowadays?How many girls would want to marry into a wealthy family and live in luxury?However, Mandy refused.This was impossible!Many women present there had distorted faces. They could not wait to replace Mandy’s place at that moment.Ray was also stunned with her answer. He unconsciously glanced at Harvey and then quickly asked, “Sister-in-l
“Even if it means living on the lap of luxury, it’s not what I really want.”Harvey York slightly smiled and muttered in a voice only he could hear, “In that case, then I’m going to make a woman out of you and let you become a big shot.“In this way, identity would not become a hindrance between you and me.“Moreover, I believe that the relationship between the two of us will get better and better…”At this moment, Lilian Yates and Simon Zimmer finally came to their senses.Both of them were in a state of bewilderment just now.After all, they had just experienced the biggest ups and downs of their lives today. It was already quite good that they were able to come around now.Meanwhile, Lilian glared at Mandy and shouted in a low voice, “Mandy, how can you be so silly?!“This is an opportunity that many people can’t ask for!“However, you’ve wasted it when it came before your eyes!”Speaking of this, Lilian kept her hand over her chest. There was nothing she could do. She was
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. If you're not going to make a choice soon, I'm going to do that for you." Harvey extended his hand and patted Silvan's face with the Absolute Decree.Silvan's eyes narrowed. Only at this time did he realize why Dan had forced him to make his move even if he had to spend that precious one chance. The way Harvey did things was simply too overbearing and couldn't be prepared for."Put down the Absolute Decree!""What you're doing is forbidden in Grand City!""This is outrageous!"All the Earth Hall elites yelled, furious.Alexei used this chance to get closer to Harvey and whispered, "Big bro, you should pay more respect to the Absolute Decree. If you keep this up, you might anger all Seven Predecessors if you're not careful."Silvan smiled coldly. "You hear that, Harvey? You humiliated Grand City by stealing the Absolute Decree. You're in big trouble now."Harvey smiled. "You don't have to worry whether I'm in trouble or not. You
"No one can say that I won't be the future mayor of Grand City. As long as I have the possibility of becoming the mayor, what you do know is insubordination!" Harvey sneered. "Are you brave enough to touch me?""Really now?" Silvan snapped, his face frosty. "Do you think I haven't prepared anything before coming here?"Silvan took out a badge made of a special material, flashing it in front of Harvey. "The Absolute Decree! While it can only be used once, it will allow anyone to enter any place within Grand City! I think this is the perfect place to use this. Forget about the fact that you're not even the scion of Grand City just yet. Even if you are, you need to obey the Absolute Decree!"He waved his hand and commanded, "Alright! Go and get our target!"Whoosh!Before anyone from Earth Hall could move, Harvey took a step and immediately appeared right in front of Silvan. Before Silvan could react, Harvey slapped his face. Slap!The slap was loud, and it was powerful enough t
A simple sentence seemed to contain an endless amount of murderous intention, putting all the elites from the Earth Hall on their guard. Silvan's face became terrifyingly dark."I know you're powerful, Harvey. You crushed the Origin Fist's Mark and even defeated all the Island Nation's six schools in the past. There's no mistake that you're a true warrior. But think through this clearly. There are so many of us here, can you defeat us? Even if you can, what if the three halls combined forces? What if all 100,000 of Grand City's elites attacked?"I'm advising you here right now because I have some respect for your role as the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance. But if you still refuse to listen and want to force your way, we don't mind doing it until the end. You can try and attack any of us here. Let's see if the thousands of elites from the three halls will attack, and how many of us can you actually kill!" Silvan's handsome face turned brutal.If it was someone
However, Silvan couldn't simply leave like this or surrender. He gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out a gun from his waist. After disengaging the safety, he pointed at Harvey and said coldly, "I'm not here to waste my breath with you, Harvey. Take Tina here. I'll give you one minute. Otherwise, don't blame me for being callous! While you are indeed quite powerful, I trust that you know the people around you aren't that powerful!"36 men in black robes took a step forward. The weapons in their hands were not only aimed at Harvey, but also on Alexei and the rest.Harvey narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I do have the Tina that you're looking for, but I saved her out of the generosity of my heart as she was being pursued. However, something interesting about me is that when I save someone, I'll make sure to go all the way. Since she's now with me, I naturally need to ensure her safety."You can take her away. You can even put her in your prison. However, I need you to provide me w
Harvey played with the umbrella in his hand and said curiously, "You're with Dan?"When Silvan heard that, he said coldly, "Mr. Representative, do I need to repeat myself? I am Silvan of the Earth Hall. Now that I'm here, I am the warrant from Earth Hall as well as Grand City's law. And when I act, all will obey my orders. Even the Seven Families will cooperate with me without delay. Understand?"Harvey smiled. "And if I can't understand?"Silvan simply raised his hands.Clack! Clack!All 36 men in the black robes took out unique firearms and disengaged the safety, aiming in Harvey's direction."These weapons are specialized firearms Country A created against martial arts elites. Their bullets are created from toxins that could deal with True Warriors that Grand City has perfected. The ones with weapons are trained elites who with god-like accuracy and an iron will. If all 36 of them pull the trigger at the same time, even a living legend who has reached the level of uniting Man
Grand City looked quite mysterious under the cover of the night. The skies above were covered in dark clouds, with flashes of lightning visible occasionally—it was dazzling.Just when the butler of the Foster Residence was about to tell the staff to secure the gates for the night, sounds of car engines could be heard approaching from afar. Bright headlights swept over, and the staff instinctively narrowed their eyes. Eighteen Land Rover Defenders headed straight to the residence, surrounded by an unspeakable force. Thanks to the rain, one couldn't clearly see the figures within.However, each of the cars had red car plates, which was quite shocking to those in the know.It was Grand City's Purgatory Hall!The three halls of Grand City were the three institutions created for the city. The Heaven Hall was responsible for defense, the Earth Hall covered law enforcement, while the Purgatory Hall had dominion over execution.It could be said that among the Three Halls, while the Eart
Coco looked at her phone and saw her Facebook alternate account had just added Tina. She frowned slightly. The only reason she approved the request was so Willy and the others could use that to pinpoint Tina's current location. She didn't expect Tina would dare send her voice messages…and so many of them in one go, at that.Originally, Coco wanted to delete all those voice messages. However, the last message read, "This is for your own good, so you better give it a read." There was even a smiley face at the end.Coco was slightly stunned when she saw it. She exchanged a look with Dan, and the two told everyone to leave before playing the voice messages.Coco wasn't interested in everything in the beginning, since it was Tina begging for her life. She didn't take it to heart. But when she reached the end, Coco's expression suddenly darkened. "How you and your brother poisoned Alexei, how you ordered Sky Plane to ambush the mayor for your brother's sake, and the truth behind Duran
"Coco, it's fine. This is not Willy's fault," Dan said calmly as if he had everything planned and saw through everything.He pulled out a vintage wine that he had been saving, uncorked it, and poured Coco a glassful, hoping his sister could calm down at this key moment."Who could have expected at this day and age, a mere servant could fight back when forced into a corner? Tina was indeed just an ordinary woman, but when facing a life-and-death situation, it was quite normal for her to have a burst of energy. She ran straight for the Fosters' territory, which was obviously meant to make things difficult for us."Willy not performing as well as we expected is only because we can't make an enemy out of the Fosters just yet. This is for my good, so stop blaming them anymore."At the very least, he has already arranged a few snipers nearby. The moment Tina shows her face, they'll kill her immediately. Things aren't so bad that they can't be solved," Dan said, sighing.Then, he continu
"What do you mean?" Tina was slightly stunned, unable to react to Harvey's words.Harvey waved a familiar-looking phone. In front of her, he tapped on the red exclamation marks. When the resend button appeared, he tapped it. Ding! Ding! Ding!All the voice messages that failed to be sent out earlier had all been sent out. Meanwhile, Tina finally managed to react. Tina screamed."Ahhh! Harvey, you fool! You're going to get me killed!" Tina screamed.She momentarily forgot the wounds on her as she almost jumped from the bed, as if wanting to choke Harvey to death. She knew very well what the sent messages meant for Coco.Most importantly, she even told Coco she had a recorder with her…This…This gave Coco the perfect reason to get her killed. Her fate had been decided the moment Harvey pressed the send button!That bastard!He really was a bastard!How could there be such a shameless man in this world? If eyes could kill, Tina believed she would have already killed Harve
