Zack Zimmer was rendered speechless at this spontaneous decision. He never thought that his grandfather would treat him so well that he would bring out all these items.The expressions of the other family heads started to slightly change one by one. They all had the same set in their homes. After all, this was trendy to have for the upper-class society of Niumhi.Senior Zimmer eyes turned toward Yvonne Xavier and Wendy Sorrell. He then smiled. “Dear distinguished guests, since you’re here, why not come and have a look at our set of precious items that belong to the Zimmer family?”Yvonne and Wendy were about to reject the offer but when they saw the luxurious items of high quality in few of the boxes, any woman would be moved. Hence, they both could not resist but glance over. Senior Zimmer noticed their expressions. He was adamant to attain victory that night. He then waved and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, come and have a look.”The first bodyguard opened the box at the front. I
She did not hope to be proposed to, all she hoped for was only to have a happy complete wedding ceremony. However, this husband of hers…When she thought about this, Mandy Zimmer heaved another silent sigh.“Harvey, you piece of trash!” Xynthia Zimmer who was beside them turned ferocious and glared at Harvey York. “Look at them, now look at yourself! Let’s not even touch on the marriage proposal. You’ve been married to my sister for so many years. What have you ever given her? If you are truly a man, you should initiate the divorce. You are no match to my sister. You don’t have any capability to provide her happiness!”“Xynthia!” Mandy threw a stare at her little sister but kept the rest of her thoughts to herself. “Sis, don’t protect him anymore. Trash is trash. Losers are losers. This is in his nature; he cannot change that. If I were him, I would have found somewhere to hide myself a long time ago. How could I even have the face to stay here and watch the proposal? Does he not
“What!?”The audience were shocked to the core. He had lost millions worth of interest to buy luxurious items? Had he gone mad? When they looked at his mannerism, they thought that he could not have faked it.It was no wonder he was able to win over Wendy Sorrell, having splashed that much money on her. Was there any woman who would be able to refuse that?“H-He is willing to use millions to woo a girl? That truly is astonishing!”“That’s right. It is one matter for a man to be rich, whether he is willing to spend the money on you is another!”“How admirable. If my husband treats me this way, I would even be willing to die!”Numerous women were talking! Millions worth of luxurious items? That would mean that all the classic items and in season trends have been gathered? Any woman who claimed to not admire this move would be lying!Many women were currently wishfully gazing at Zack Zimmer.Senior Zimmer nodded profusely. His grandson was too outstanding. He knew how to capture a
“Can someone bring me a flashlight, please?” Yvonne Xavier suddenly asked. “Quick, quick! Bring it over!” Although Senior Zimmer did not know what Yvonne was up to, he ordered the people to fulfil her request.Soon, a flashlight was brought over. Yvonne turned on the flashlight and shone the light toward the two diamond pieces. The bright dazzling light illuminated over them. The crowd could not help but to hold their breaths. Many of them displayed disbelief on their faces.Under the light, everyone saw the vast difference between the two clusters of diamonds. Yvonne’s diamond was smaller, but its shimmering reflection of light dazzled the onlookers. The sight attracted the attention of the people.However, Zack Zimmer’s fist-sized pigeon egg was…“This…” Someone broke the silence. His face was in disbelief. “What is this situation? How is this one carat diamond more dazzling and eye-catching than the ten-carat pigeon egg?”“Isn’t this the diamond that was worth four millio
At the side, Senior Zimmer was controlling his smile. “Manager Sorrell, I can vouch on behalf of the Zimmer family that all of our resources will be for both of you if you marry into our family. That cluster of diamonds is nothing when all of the Zimmer family’s properties will be yours. Why would you make a fuss about it now?”Senior Zimmer was being straightforward with his thoughts. He was prepared to give the whole Zimmer family to the young couple. She did not need to be angry over such a small matter, and especially during such a crucial time as when Zack Zimmer was proposing to her.“That’s right, Sister-in-law. That really is a trivial matter! You would just be punishing Zack for no good reason!”“Yes! Let’s not talk about this diamond ring which is worth hundreds of thousands. Just look at that trash, Harvey York. He’s not even able to buy a diamond ring of a few hundred dollars. You’re very fortunate to have won Bro Zack’s favor!”“Yes! Indeed!”The Zimmer family tried t
In the middle of the hall, Senior Zimmer’s eyes were twitching. He coughed and said, “Everyone, it’s just a dispute of the younger generation. Please don’t mind what had just happened. Don’t mind it at all. I’ll play the host for tonight. Shall we?”All the family heads who were present were sly foxes. However, they assumed what Senior Zimmer said was true. They would soon find out whether this situation was real for sure by observing whether the Zimmer family will successfully attain the investment from York Enterprise.After three more rounds of wine, the family heads each found an excuse to leave. They did not come for the sake of the Zimmer family. The Zimmer family were not so reputable for them to do so. Their goal was Yvonne Xavier.They knew that the Zimmer family did not have a hold on York Enterprise. Some of the family heads had some ideas. Since the Zimmer family could send a young man to woo Wendy Sorrell, they can do so too.***When the guests had left, Zack mustere
“Grandpa, when we analyze the details. Don’t you think that she has feelings for me?”Zack Zimmer put on a convincing face. Why did his reasoning sound reliable?The Zimmer family looked at each other. He did have quite a good explanation. What was Yvonne Xavier’s status? Many family heads wanted to meet her but had not the opportunity. However, she did come over to the Zimmer family with weird behaviors. It seemed that there were no other justifications other than her liking Zack. “Grandpa, Wendy’s rejection of my proposal is good news. Think about it, Wendy is only a small manager, what more can she do?” Zack saw through the truth of the reality. “Yvonne, no… my Vonnie is the secretary to the CEO of York Enterprise! In fact, rumor has it that she is the mysterious CEO herself. Grandpa, the Zimmer family is about to get rich!”The CEO of York Enterprise?When he said this, the Zimmer family who were present all heaved a sigh of relief. This was not impossible. The previous CEO w
He was at the pinnacle of his life. He could marry any woman he so wishes and he had a good fortune too. Yet, this loser live-in son-in-law, Harvey York, had the audacity to laugh at him? Was he not being too arrogant?At that instant, everyone turned to look at Harvey. Many of them had some faint expectation for him to have the situation mixed up. They wanted to keep the hope alive.“I’m so sorry, I did not hold myself back,” Harvey covered his mouth while saying. “Some people have very good imagination. Zack Zimmer, I think you better not try to woo her. Why don’t you try and become the live-in son-in-law of the Xavier family? See if she wants you to be that for her!”“Y-You’re only a live-in son-in-law, how dare you insult me!” Zack’s expression drastically changed. Although he did have the desire to be a kept man, a thought was just a thought. His intentions were exposed, and his ego could not take it anymore. He could not resist bellowing out at him. Indeed, Senior Zimmer und
Harvey smiled. "Aren't you afraid that it'll cause discord once your words reach back to Grand City if you praise me this much? I'm going to Grand City eventually."Geoffrey's eyes slightly narrowed when he heard it, and then he smiled. "It makes sense if you're going to the city. Since you're the representative of the Martial Arts Alliance, which makes you the mayor of Grand City, it's logical if you want to go there. But there's something you need to be mindful of. The Seven Families publicly acknowledged Dan as the scion of Grand City, and everyone thought he would become the representative."If you go to Grand City, everyone will see you as trying to usurp power whether you want it or not. When that happens, the two of you will never have peace until one of you is dead…""Dead?" Harvey smirked. "What makes him think he has the right to call himself Grand City's scion? If he wants to become the owner of Grand City, he has to reclaim his status and become a representative and not
Meanwhile, Sol moved a chair over for Harvey and made a cup of tea for him. Harvey drank the flower tea that had just been freshly brewed. After a drink, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey.""You saved me, so it's nothing strange for me to show you some appreciation," replied Geoffrey with a smile as he waved his hand. Then, Sol and Lune closed and covered all the windows and doors leading to the studies. Later, he said, "Harvey, I've prepared everything I need to. It's all in your hands now."In the next few days, he had already written down his own comprehension of his martial arts and those that he believed needed to be recorded, then passed them to Sol and Lune for safekeeping. Geoffrey was prepared for the consequences of his treatment."Alright. Since you have made the decision, then I won't delay this any further. But I suggest that we should make a video recording. That way, you will not only know what changes occur to your body but also what I did." Harvey sugge
"You heard it too, didn't you? I gave Victoria a call," Harvey said openly. "Victoria is the eldest princess of the Empire. She owed me one, so I asked her a favor. To her, something like this is easily within her powers."Yvonne was shocked. "You're actually familiar with the Empire's eldest princess?"Harvey smiled. "It's all in the past. Not to mention that this time, it involves the lives of many of your relatives. It's more convenient if the Empire is the one that makes the move."Yvonne gave it a thought and mumbled, "Sir, you probably need to repay her for a favor this huge, right? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have the Xaviers prepare them.""Well… There's no need to," Harvey said as he glanced at his phone screen with a message written in the Empire's script. "I guess this is all over once I find some time to treat her to a meal."When she heard it, Yvonne's expression instantly turned strange. But she was a smart woman; she knew there were things she s
"That's because the Empire produces most of the firearms we Second Caste used. Once they stop their services, we will lose access to those firearms in the short term. The First Case will use this chance to retaliate. If we ever reach that stage, the Second Caste is doomed. That's why we have no choice but to execute the Empire's orders."That's not the worst part. Unless we can completely go without the weapons produced by the Empire from within our army, otherwise… Harvey basically owns the Second Caste from now on. Crossing him is suicidal. In our current condition, the Second Caste doesn't have the resources to change the firearms from within our army. That's why, whether we like it or not, he basically owns us," said Bart, heaving a sigh. His expression darkened."Darn it… I told them I would rather cross the people from Country A than the people from Country H. Why didn't they believe me? They only regretted it after they had been thoroughly humiliated."When Zoe heard it, she
"Let's go!" Bart's expression darkened when he saw things had reached this stage. With a wave of his hand, he was going to leave with his underlings. He was filled with dissatisfaction.Today was supposed to be his day of glory. He was supposed to crush the Xaviers right under his boots. He was even prepared to have some fun with the women from the Xaviers. But he never expected one call from Harvey to be enough to turn his dreams into nothing. He was extremely dissatisfied.Zoe shuddered and was also about to leave. She wished Harvey could forgive her existence at this moment."Did I tell you that you can leave?" Harvey glanced at the group as they reached the entrance. "Don't forget, all of you have to give me an explanation that I'm happy with."Then, Harvey glanced at Zoe and said, "And you, Maiden. Don't forget your words so soon?"Zoe's expression darkened as she shuddered.Meanwhile, Bart immediately bent the knee on the floor with a loud thud. Then, he said in a bitter vo
Bart was completely stunned. "Sir, that's not what you said earlier! You gave explicit orders that…""What orders?" The voice coming from the other side was grim. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? Do as I tell you right now. Other than letting them know, I don't care whether you must cry or beg; you must gain the Xaviers' forgiveness. "Remember. If you fail, I'll kill all your family! This is not just my personal order but the collective will of the entire Second Caste. You must gain their forgiveness even if you were to sacrifice your own life!"After Mr. Garcia roared back at Bart, he angrily hung up. Obviously, there was pent-up anger in him, making him very furious and agitated. Unfortunately, it seemed that he could not resist it. That was why, even if he did not want to, all he could do was follow Mr. Garcia's orders.What happened?Bart, Zoe, and the others could not react as their eyes were fixed on the phone on the table. Their expressions were completely frozen.
"Tsk. Didn't you say you just gave a call to the Empire? That's our suzerain! If there's really someone on top of the pyramid speaking on your behalf, we all had to obey!" Bart said, his words were spiteful once more."Maybe you should give her a call again? Tell her that the Second Caste is very scared, waiting for her to come and punish us. Or maybe, your phone is out of credit? Do you need more money to pay for your credits?" Bart then pulled out a 20-dollar bill and threw it at Harvey. What Bart just did made all the people from Country I laugh even more arrogantly.Zoe could not be bothered to waste her time anymore. Instead, she extended her foot before Harvey, signaling Harvey to kneel and lick the sole of her heel quickly. Otherwise, someone from the Xaviers would have to die again if time was up.Buzz…As the mockery climaxed, Bart's phone started to vibrate. Everyone instantly looked at him. Bart was also stunned and glanced at the screen of his phone. Then, he gave Harve
"What? Don't tell me the Victoria you called just now was actually Princess Victoria from the Empire? I suppose you must have gotten what you wanted if you could talk to her directly. I wonder what kind of orders she gave us? Did she tell us to be on our knees right now or tomorrow?" A smirk appeared on Zoe's face the moment Harvey hung up. She looked at Harvey as if she was looking at a clown running a circus."Oh, right, I need to remind you. In one hour, we will kill another member of the Xavier family. If she only contacts us after a long time, then the Xaviers will all die," said Zoe as she folded her arms in front of her chest and slowly approached Harvey. Then, she leaned closer to Harvey and said, "And here I'm looking forward to falling on my knees and calling you Daddy. So please, you better give me this chance."At this time, Zoe acted so seductively. If it were not because everyone here knew that Zoe and Harvey were enemies, some might even think that Harvey and Zoe might
"Seems like you didn't change at all, Maiden. You still wouldn't give up until your final moments," Harvey stepped forward and glanced at Zoe. She might look stern on the outside, but she was already shaken inside."You know full well that if I could give you the money all this time, it would mean that I have the evidence. Maybe the Second Caste didn't care about the betrayal and continued to use you because you have some value. But the moment I show all this evidence on the internet, a sinner like you will make everyone remember everything."Perhaps the First Caste, who is at a disadvantage right now, could use this as an initiative and retaliate. That's why if I were you, I would immediately turn tail and leave, then think of a way to convince the Second Caste to stop instead of wasting your breath here."Zoe smiled coldly. "You can stop threatening me now, Harvey. I confessed everything to my higher-ups a long time ago. So what if you can reveal all the evidence you have? It mean
