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
Even though the Zimmers were leaving, it was obvious that Zack refused to see Mandy and Harvey live well. He wanted to drive a wedge between the two of them.Harvey couldn’t be bothered, and simply shrugged in response. “Casting a stone between us is no use. If you really hate me that much, then I earnestly wait for the day you can return to take revenge upon me.”Zack clenched his teeth hard, trying to appear dignified. Ultimately, he failed and ended up grabbing all the money on the floor before scampering away under Harvey’s aloof gaze. …After returning to Zimmer Mansion, Senior Zimmer stared blankly at the now empty mansion.After this day, he would have to leave this place. Right now, the Zimmer family could only be described as monkeys that were scattered when their tree fell.Zack put away the money he had picked up carefully before throwing a meaningful gaze at Senior Zimmer, preparing to leave.Quinn was the same.All of a sudden, Senior Zimmer barked out, “Don’t le
At the Silver Nimbus Resort project construction site.Staring at the construction site before her, Mandy was all worried and gloomy.There were no other problems plaguing the resort project’s construction site. Plus, with Old Niner and his people on watch, no thug would dare come and destroy the site.Unfortunately, the project had to be stopped temporarily as an issue with the supply of raw materials had arisen out of the blue.Mandy called her secretary, her eyebrows knitted together in frustration as she spoke. “Cash out thirty thousand dollars from the finance department and distribute a hundred and fifty dollars for every worker as reward. Have them rest for a few days and wait for my announcement to return to work.”The secretary nodded, but she still asked in worry, “CEO Mandy, it’s almost winter now.”“Winter is South Light brings the cold north wind. wThe worker’s efficiency will be reduced.”“If we can’t finish constructing the whole framework before autumn ends, I’m
Mandy stayed around the construction site for the whole afternoon. After that, she went to the city and made her way to the hotel where she and the suppliers promised to meet.Reaching there, she saw that the private room was empty. Mandy guessed that they were putting on an act, for reasons she couldn’t know. She said nothing and instead ordered a pot of tea, and waited quietly in the room.For four hours she waited, from noon until evening. Only by then did suppliers arrive. They came in as a group, referring to each other as brothers as they entered.“CEO Mandy, please excuse us for being a little late.”“These days, we’ve been very busy with our work. You too know that after the market price of raw materials rose, more people came to us for business. That’s why we’re not that free!”“Yes! We have so little products, but so many companies demanded this and that from us! We don’t even know to whom we should distribute our products anymore. What a hassle!”The moment they appe
“Ha ha ha! Are you going to file a lawsuit against us, CEO Zimmer?”“I’m going to give you a piece of advice. Sure, employing a lawyer doesn’t cost a lot.”“Still, civil disputes like this prioritize mediation. It’s rare for the case to be concluded quickly.”“If we want, we can delay this case for as long as eight to ten years. While we don’t really care, can your company afford it?”Barry Waters was incredibly satisfied with himself.Obviously, he had thought of everything before arriving. His presence right now was solely to crush Mandy.The other suppliers sneered and nodded along. After all, they’d all be sharing mutual benefits.Of course they’d take this opportunity to make a huge profit as a group! No one was dumb enough to resist cold, hard cash! Mandy inhaled deeply and replied, “Mr. Barry, when we Zimmers were looking for suppliers, you were the one who came to our doorstep and told us your factory was going bankrupt.”“You were the one who pleaded to offer us the
At his words, Mandy’s face grew cold. She was here to talk about collaboration. How could she accept this humiliation?“Mr Waters, our company is honest and sincere in dealing with people. Please show us more respect. Collaboration is good for both of us. It won’t be good for us to dismiss that chance, no?”“I’ll let it slide this time. Next time you insult me, you’ll get a letter from my lawyer!”“Letter? Insult?” Barry Waters grinned and sneered coldly. “CEO Zimmer, do you really think you’re a decent woman?”“I’m telling you. The matter today isn’t over yet.”“Do you think we can’t survive if we don’t collaborate with your company? Let me tell you, many other companies are eager to collaborate with us!”“Even our raw materials aren’t enough for all of them!”“Waters.” Mandy hissed icily. “Aren’t you grateful for the assistance I gave you that day?!” Barry chuckled and folded his arms.“Why, CEO Zimmer, please forget the past. We’re both businessmen. All I care about is the
"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
