“I’m afraid you won’t understand this, although I made a deal with the Yorks…” Mandy Zimmer sighed and shook her head as she knew that the Zimmers won’t be too happy if they heard that the funds were decreased from fifty million dollars to thirty million dollars.Both of them left after saying their goodbyes to Cecilia Zachary.At York Enterprise, Yvonne Xavier was about to leave the office as she had just handled the incident at Northland Restaurant.As she walked past Wendy Sorrell’s office, she saw Wendy frowning over a big bag of luxurious items.Being a woman herself, Yvonne was quite interested in the stuff.“It looks like some rich guy is trying to court you, Miss Sorrell.” Yvonne said with a smile.“What rich guy? It’s just Zack Zimmer. He’s trying to make me approve the investment on the Zimmers. Who am I to decide, after all the CEO already had plans with the Zimmers.” Wendy said while still frowning.“Oh, Miss Yvonne, can you accompany me to the Zimmer Villa and retur
Senior Zimmer was feeling anxious, as it was clearly shown on his face, since the Zimmer family won’t be getting much profit out of the deal.“Mandy, how did the terms change so drastically? Surely, you weren’t planning to frame our family alongside outsiders, are you?” Sean Zimmer asked Mandy Zimmer.After hearing what Sean asked, everyone around started to believe Sean’s accusation as all of them had done something similar before. It didn’t take too long for them to be suspicious about Mandy.Mandy was mad as all of her effort had not been recognized, furthermore got accused of framing the family.Smack!Before Mandy said anything, a piece of watermelon skin flew through the air and landed on Sean’s face.“Ugh! Ptooey!” Sean spat in disgust as he was quite germaphobic.“What the f*ck are you doing? You worthless piece of trash!” Zack Zimmer yelled at Harvey York as he saw his father getting hit by a piece of watermelon skin.“I was just throwing garbage,” Harvey replied with
However, deep inside Mandy Zimmer’s heart, she agreed that Sean Zimmer and Zack Zimmer deserved the humiliation.Harvey York had no intentions of giving excuses as he then casually grabbed another piece of watermelon.“Nothing much, I was just throwing garbage, it’s not my fault that somebody’s words are as stinky as a trashcan.” Harvey replied calmly.“You little…” Sean grunted as he glared at Harvey while wiping his face. Sean was so offended that his body was trembling.“What about me? It’s your son who had caused the trouble, which my wife settled. Despite ignoring her effort and giving her the gratitude she deserves, you guys even had the gall to accuse her for framing the family. How ironic is that? Fine, let your son handle it then!” Harvey defiantly replied to Sean.“Harvey York, you’re just a live-in son-in-law, who do you think you are to speak at our family meeting?”“Besides, as a Zimmer herself, Mandy should work for our family…” Sean yelled at Harvey.“And let your
“About that…” Mandy Zimmer was not very confident about the request. She glanced at Harvey York unintendedly.“Just accept the request.” Senior Zimmer laughed as he thought that Mandy had connections with someone from York Enterprise’s top management. At the very least, that was what he thought after seeing Mandy managed to accomplish such a difficult task.“Okay grandpa, I promise…”“”No!” Harvey interrupted as Mandy was about to accept.“What the f*ck is wrong with you! Who are you to refuse?” Zack Zimmer yelled while holding his head as he was starting to be afraid of Harvey’s reckless actions.“Harvey, I ignored your rude actions earlier because I respect Mandy. Do you think that you’re qualified to speak in this house?” Senior Zimmer threatened while giving Harvey a cold stare as Harvey had really gone up his nerves after causing ruckus multiple times.“Previously you promised that Mandy would become the CEO if she got the deal, but now you’re just making new conditions and
“Zack Zimmer is truly the hope for our family!”“Looks like even without that ‘somebody’ who went this morning, the Yorks would contact us after all.”The crowd changed their standpoints again, this time turned against Mandy Zimmer.“You sure about that Zack?” Senior Zimmer asked with a frown on his face.“Of course!” Zack replied as he called Wendy Sorrell and put her on the speaker.“Hello, Mr. Zimmer.” Wendy’s soft voice came out from the speaker.“Hello Ms. Sorell, I’ve already notified Senior Zimmer about your visit tonight, may I know when will you arrive?” Zack replied with a smirk.“No need to cause a scene, I’m just here to hand some stuff over to you.” Wendy replied.“My pleasure. Do you need a ride?” Zack offered.“No need, I have my own transport, I’ll arrive around 7pm.” Wendy replied.“Alright, we’ll be waiting for your arrival!” Zack replied with a proud look before hanging up the call.‘Stuff? What stuff? Could it be the contract?’ The crowd was astonished.
“Grandpa…” Mandy Zimmer anxiously looked at Senior Zimmer.Senior Zimmer smiled and said, “Mandy, I know that I’ve wronged you today. However, this contract that you’ve brought back does not bring any benefits at all to the Zimmer family. Of course, I will not forget your contribution to this. How about this? Once everything is in place and we’ve gotten our profits, I will give you a bit more than promised?”Senior Zimmer kept mum about the CEO position. He had tossed the matter out of the window without revisiting it anymore.He had never thought highly of his granddaughters. He always thought that women were money-consuming goods sooner or later. It did not help that Mandy’s husband was a worthless live-in son-in-law. He used to have some respect for her solely because Mandy managed to secure the contract from York Enterprise. Since Zack Zimmer was now more capable than her, he naturally casted Mandy aside.Mandy sat down in silence. She could not say another word. Senior Zimme
In front of the villa at this moment, Senior Zimmer lifted his arm to look at the time on his gold watch worn on his wrist. He saw that it was almost time, so he waved to signal the crowd to keep quiet. He then said in his low voice, “Remember that tonight is an important night for us, the Zimmer family. Tonight will determine whether our family will be able to become a first-class family in Niumhi. Everyone, please give your best spirits and carefully tend to our main guest. Do you understand?”“Yes sir!” The crowd of Zimmer family replied with smiles on their faces. Wendy Sorrell was a gold mine for them. They naturally would want to entertain her well. Zack Zimmer suddenly whispered at this time, “Grandpa, I actually have a premature proposal.”“Sure, my dear obedient grandson. Tell me quickly what’s on your mind.” Senior Zimmer became excited.He was quite disappointed with Zack’s performance before. However, he was particularly pleased with him tonight.More importantly, he
An incredulous gasp was heard amongst the crowd. A golden miniature horse statue was sitting inside the box. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was quite expensive! It was an old-fashioned item, but the price was displayed there.Accordingly, Yohann Stone and Senior Zimmer were of the same status. There was no need to present such a generous gift when they would meet. However, he was being modest today which allowed the Zimmer family’s reputation to greatly increase.“Sure, sure, sure. Anyone who goes through this door is our guest. Please take a seat, Manager Stone. However, please don’t be so modest next time. I will humbly accept this gift!” Senior Zimmer’s smile was so wide that he could hardly close his mouth as he nodded profusely.This was not a matter of money, but of reputation. Although Yohann had his doubts and found out that Wendy Sorrell and Secretary Xavier were coming over, he was a sly fox himself. He did not expose this side of him.After greeting Yohann
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
