Senior Zimmer finally said hesitantly, “Mandy, we said that you have no more ties with the family anymore; but even if we’re incredibly cold-hearted, I genuinely hope that you can help us this one last time!“After this, the family will have no more quarrels with you whatsoever!”Naturally, Senior Zimmer was trying to bait her gratitude.Mandy Zimmer did not even want to bat them an eye, but she had gotten softer after seeing Senior Zimmer’s old and pitiful look.“I can help you come up with an idea, but it’ll be up to you whether you want to execute it or not.”“Good, pray tell!”Senior Zimmer’s eyes lit up.She then took a deep breath and replied coldly, “Didn’t you all sell off the gifts and split the money, then used it to buy cars and houses?“Sell off everything that you bought and see how much you can all gather. We’ll talk about the rest later!”Quinn Zimmer was the first one to boil with anger as soon as she heard that suggestion.“Mandy, what do you mean? Do you wan
Mandy Zimmer thought about it for a while and shook her head.She didn’t know, and to be honest, she did not want to know.Harvey York continued speaking.“At this rate, they won’t be able to gather the gifts. The Zimmers had been lavished with glory and wealth, living luxurious lives. Even if they managed to sell off all the properties, they won’t be able to recoup the amount they spent.“But there is still a way for them to settle their debt.“For example, you can still give them a little bit of money to survive, but all forty-nine percent of the Zimmer Enterprise’s stocks have to be transferred to you.”“This…”She hesitated on that idea. This was the only stock left for the Zimmers after all those years. If she were to take that away, the Zimmers would perish entirely.After seeing her being hesitant, Harvey then said, “I know that you’re unwilling, but you’re also giving them a path of survival.“If not, how would the last of the stocks be of use after they sell off every
Harvey York smiled faintly. He was indifferent about Quinn Zimmer’s hatred toward him.Quinn Zimmer’s confidence came from her mediocre looks.A shame that she was only a little good-looking. Her beauty could not be compared to Mandy’s, which would topple buildings.For wealthy people, a woman like Quinn Zimmer would at most be a toy for them.She could only dream of marrying into a wealthy family at most.***In Hong Kong, the sea breeze from Victoria Harbor blew toward Taiping Mountaintop.The mountain that only wealthy people could stay in did not have any winds blowing over for many years.The top villa in the Taiping Mountaintop was considered the peak of the mountain itself.The villa was able to overlook Hong Kong’s entirety as if it had control over the families that reside within.In reality, the Leo family did have the right to do so.As one of the top four families in Hong Kong, the Leo family’s power would be far beyond an ordinary man’s imagination!The people
“All hail the matriarch!”Along with the sounds of cheering, the Leo family’s transfer of power was successful!Melissa Leo had planned this for ten whole. She had the force akin to a rolling thunder when she returned to reclaim the Leo family’s authority.***At the top villa of Taiping Mountaintop.Quinton York looked at his left palm, the freckles on his palm seemed like they changed.He instinctively put down his palm when Melissa Leo walked up behind him.“Having ambition is not a bad thing, but with only ambition and no planning—no method of achieving a decisive victory—that ambition will only burn you in the long run,” Melissa Leo looked at Victoria Harbor from afar as she spoke eloquently.Quinton York was showing a hint of perplexity, then bowed soon after.“Everything that I have right now was given to me by you. I would never dare to mention ambition in front of you.”Melissa Leo smiled and calmly replied, “In your eyes, do you think that today’s efforts were succe
At Buckwood.The next day, Senior Zimmer, Zack Zimmer, and Quinn Zimmer all showed up at The Gardens Residence.All of them were holding property deeds, large amounts of jewelry, and lots of cash, among other possessions.Those things were about to be handed over to Mandy Zimmer.Just by looking at the sight filled Quinn with hatred.All of this should be hers, but all of it would be Mandy’s soon.She was resentful!On the other hand, Zack said sternly, “Grandfather, we sold off all property we had—but it was still not sufficient.”Selling off cars and houses within a short time was only possible to be sold at low prices.It was still not enough to gather the amount that they spent even with their savings and possessions.Senior Zimmer looked like he had grown ten years older.He let out a sigh.“We still have to come here. We can only hope that Mandy helps us fabricate the truth for the sake of us being family before.“If not, I’m afraid we won’t even have the capacity to
On the rooftop of Gardens Residence.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were already anxiously waiting in the hall.It was as if the gifts actually belonged to them.Soon after the doorbell rang, Lilian did not even lounge around and immediately rushed toward the door.Just as if the gifts would suddenly fly away if she went any slower.“Simon, Lilian…”Senior Zimmer crossed his arms and came in the door warm-heartedly.He had been a part of the Zimmers for most of his life. After all, Simon and Lilian were subconsciously scared of him because of it.They both stopped their movements when they saw his figure.“Simon, where’s Mandy?” Senior Zimmer asked calmly after seeing the two froze over.Lilian came back to her senses after hearing his question. Her gaze then shifted toward the items that were in Quinn Zimmer and Zack Zimmer’s hands. Her eyes lit up soon after.“Mandy went to the office. You can just hand me the things.”Lilian did not even give the others time to speak up.
Zack Zimmer’s face had lost all color after hearing what Harvey York said.On the other hand, Senior Zimmer’s face had turned as dark as night.They all knew that Mandy Zimmer was extremely generous. She always had a sharp tongue with a kind heart.Pleading in front of her would usually work more or less to their advantage.But Harvey was in charge of the situation in her place that day. What are they going to do?“Lilian, is your house letting a live-in son-in-law be in charge now?”Senior Zimmer cleared out his throat.Naturally, he wanted to provoke the relationship between Lilian Yates and Harvey York. That way, they could take advantage of the situation.Lilian did not have the mood to scold Harvey even at that moment. She thoroughly checked the jewelry once, then looked at the money present. Her expressions then changed.“Patriarch Zimmer, this isn’t the right amount now, is it?“Compared to the gift list that Sir Ray provided us, excluding the villa, you’re missing at
Harvey spoke up calmly, “Mom, listen to the rest of my words first.”At his words, Lilian calmed herself slightly. “Fine. If you don’t have a good reason, I won’t let you rest easy!”Senior Zimmer, Zack, and Quinn exchanged brief glances and saw the anxiety in each other’s eyes.All of them assumed that Harvey was plotting something in secret. Harvey continued, “From what I know, there’s still some of you who haven’t sold off your properties yet.”“That’s bullshit!” Zack was the first to argue, but in truth he had yet to sell one of the houses in his possession. Quinn’s expression changed as well. She had hidden some jewelleries for herself in secret.The Zimmers were too used to their selfishness. How would it be possible for them to give up their valuables for the sake of the whole family?For them to hand over a portion of their possessions was already good enough!Only Senior Zimmer still had his eyebrows knitted together. He knew Harvey wouldn’t be so kind.“Listen to
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
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
