“Thanks, but I’ll get my own cab.”Mandy Zimmer rejected him without even giving it a second thought.“Sexy, I think you’re mistaken. I’m not some bad guy.“I saw you come out of the Silver Nimbus Building. I work at the Regency Building right beside yours. I’m the deputy director of the project department for Regency Enterprise, Grant Bright. Perhaps we will have a chance to work together soon!”He had gotten out of his car in the middle of his speech. It was safe to admit that he was indeed tall and handsome. He seemed very polite and gentle at that moment while he pulled out a name card, with a faint scent of perfume, and presented it to Mandy.Obviously, he came prepared.He bumped into Mandy in the afternoon coincidentally. He was utterly amazed.He had waited until evening for a chance to finally get closer to her.When he got out of his car, he even sent pictures of Mandy Zimmer standing on the side of the road to his pack of scoundrels and announced that he would defini
Harvey York did not even bat an eye toward Grant Bright and waved at Mandy Zimmer.“Darling, hurry inside. Let’s go home.”Even though Mandy slightly froze for a moment, she immediately snapped back to her senses and got into the car.When the car’s tail light could be seen, only then Grant came back to his senses.‘This woman’s husband is this rich?‘He can just buy a nine hundred thousand car willy-nilly? The car’s more expensive than my house!’‘No, I heard that the man is actually a live-in son-in-law. So, that means the car actually belongs to her?’In just seconds, Grant’s eyes only showed utmost greed.He only thought about sleeping with Mandy previously.But then his thoughts have changed.Now he wanted to kick Harvey out and replace him.He believed that with his capabilities and talent, he could get closer to Mandy Zimmer. That woman and the riches that she owned would all be his.***In the car.Mandy was confused.The car was just too expensive. It was more h
“Huh? What’s going on here?”Mandy Zimmer explained the situation about someone trading a ten-year lease of an office building for a villa.“Harvey, didn’t I tell you before that the villa is for free? You didn’t keep his money afterward, did you?” Mandy asked.“No need to ask. He obviously kept the money. If not, he wouldn’t even have nine hundred dollars in his pocket, let alone nine hundred thousand for a car!”It seemed like Lilian Yates understood what had transpired.Lilian wanted to slap Harvey across his face, but she ultimately held it in since Harvey spent the money on Mandy.Mandy let out a sigh and could not help but massage her temple soon after.The other person might not mind Harvey keeping the money.But Mandy wanted to return the favor to that person somehow, and it seemed like Harvey had already ruined the chance.She thought that his husband had improved since then, but she felt a hint of disappointment once again.Looking at Mandy’s expression, Harvey knew
Ten in the morning.Buckwood’s housing management and safety systems had taken action.Even the few managers in the construction team were immediately taken away by the police to cooperate with the investigation.There were even rumors saying that all of the company’s credentials would be revoked and halted all of the company’s operations.When the news had spread, the Silver Nimbus Enterprise was paralyzed.Mandy Zimmer was in a company meeting. Everyone was devising a strategy, but the meeting room’s doors were furiously kicked open at this moment.“Whoever’s responsible, please come with us. We are a task force assembled by several important systems to investigate your company’s situation.”The man leading the group was none other than the second-in-command of South Light General Police Station, Alex Swift.And the men that he came with came from South Light’s housing management systems, the safe system, and so forth. Every one of them was very professional big characters in
“Is that so?“Can you guarantee that the materials have no problems at all?“You should know that your construction site uses ten tons of materials every single day!“Can you, the CEO, even supervise everyone every single day?“As for Senior Oskar Armstrong, is it because you knew that he purchased property here that you have no worries about selling them? That’s why you’re trying to cut corners and earn dirty money?!“I’m telling you, there are a lot of people that ordered villas from you. If we find out that there’s actually a quality problem with your houses, you’ll be finished!“You’re doing the equivalent of offending a whole lot of big shots. You won’t have the chance to be in the business circle anymore!”Alex Swift was laughing coldly while delivering his speech, making Mandy Zimmer’s face lose all color.She knew that refuting at this moment was futile.Because something really did happen in the construction site.At this moment, the people from the Buckwood Police S
Soon, Alex Swift took Mandy Zimmer with him to cooperate with his investigation.The entire company’s management and operations had descended into utter chaos. The situation was truly horrible.***At the same time.Typically, Oskar Armstrong was still visiting. He had not left for the past few days. He did not know what had happened outside.Suddenly, some noise was echoing in the hallways.“What’s going on here? Do you not know that you need to be quiet in hospitals?”Oskar Armstrong signaled a nurse beside him to see what was happening outside.But at this moment, a few people rushed into the room. They were media journalists.“Senior Armstrong, we heard that you had accepted millions of dollars worth of endorsement fees to act out a scene with them at the construction site, is that correct?”“You already knew that there was a quality problem with the Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort. Is that true?”“But you still chose to be their spokesperson because of money, and you chos
Oskar Armstrong was the top man in the medical field.Usually, when he wanted to perform a procedure, many big characters would kneel to beg for him.But somebody actually did not believe in him that day. Instead, they wanted him to pay with his life.Even Oskar could not imagine what happened.“How is this possible?!”The most important thing was that he trusted Harvey York the most!He was the chief instructor for the Sword Camp, a myth that held off against the five strongest countries by himself, truly a legend.How could a man like that even dig him a deep grave such as this?And with that man’s wealth, did he even need his wife to proceed with a jerry-built project just to get a little more money?No!There was no need!The man’s wealth could rival countries. He would not even bat an eye toward such a trivial amount of money!Without a second thought, Oskar furiously slammed the wall with his hand and exclaimed, “Silence! I’ll give everyone a fair statement about this
Keith Yates snorted, “How dare he!”“Prince York or not, the matter has escalated to such an extent that even Oskar Armstrong is involved!”“Many nobles from Wolsing, Mordu, Golden Sands, and other places are paying attention to this matter!”“Sheldon Xavier himself cannot intervene, let alone Prince York!”“Unless someone can provide evidence that Mandy Zimmer is innocent, there’s no need for her to come out!”The entire Yates family laughed at Keith’s words.Leyton smiled. “Mandy’s still too young. After this incident, she’ll finally understand how important it is to have support.”“Without the Yates family behind her, she’s nothing!”Keith frowned. “In my opinion, we should just let her stay in the company for a few more years. Wouldn’t it be better if we take over the entire Silver Nimbus Enterprise instead?”Grandma Yates replied indifferently, “Mandy’s still somewhat capable. The rest of us here have no experience in business. We may not be able to make any profit.”“Le
Soon, Harvey and Alexei walked into the auction hall discreetly with their heads low.The auction hall was incredibly spacious. It resembled a grand stadium, with individual seats placed all over. In the middle of the stadium was a tall auction platformThere was still some time before the start of the auction, but most of the guests were already there. Everyone nodded toward each other and started chatting. Not only was this an auction, but a lot of people also treated this as a place where they could socialize.Harvey and Alexei had been brought to seats at the corner by the staff. Harvey didn't mind this location. He picked up a tablet in front of him and started to swipe it. The content was mostly about the items up for auction."Hello, everyone! It is good to see all the familiar faces in Grand City's Charity Auction once more," said an old man with a cool expression in traditional garb as he appeared on the platform. His voice wasn't loud, but it was crystal clear.There w
Harvey frowned. "Isn't that a little too far-fetched? An Oracle Text that can predict the future?"Alexei shook his head. "Don't underestimate the Hierophant, Big bro. Few people throughout history could decipher the Book of Changes so thoroughly. "It was said that there was a prince from some oil-producing country who managed to get an Oracle Text that showed the word Chaos."It was predicting that his country would fall into chaos. That prince made early preparations. Half a year later, that country fell into chaos, but the prince managed to prepare for it and suppressed the chaos. He even gained a lot of benefits from it. "After that, the Hierophant's Oracle Text became extremely popular!"Alexei spoke as if he were explaining to Harvey some ancient secrets. He glanced around sneakily, like he was worried that someone would hear him gossiping about the Hierophant.After Harvey heard it, he became curious. "Looks like this Hierophant really has something unique about him. No
Around ten in the evening, Alexei took Harvey to the Grand City's Charitable Auction. The auction was organized by the priesthood. Every time they had an auction, they would invite the socialites to attend.To the socialites, the mysterious Grand City would only show a little bit of itself around this time. In this auction, everyone used H dollars. Of course, there were times when bartering was possible, with the preface that both sides found the trade agreeable.Harvey had also learned about the details of the auction before coming. The mayor was at the top of the social hierarchy, followed by the Seven Families. However, because Wenzel had been missing for all these years, the Hierophant had been leading the Seven Families. That was why the Priesthood's social standing was far higher than before, despite being just a non-essential body in the past.For example, the one who chaired this auction this evening was the so-called Priestess. Harvey had heard plenty of rumors about
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
