A slender figure walked in the hall.Yvonne Xavier.She was not wearing makeup, with jeans and a white shirt paired with glasses with a black frame and a ponytail.Even so, she appeared to be enchanting and alluring. Purity and desire exuded from her body. Everyone’s gazes were glued onto her.As soon as Yvonne showed up, the hall was immediately silent. While everyone was shocked, they could all guess what had happened.Maybe Yvonne was representing York Enterprise to criticize them?At the same time, a lot of men’s eyes lit up when they stared at Yvonne.She was indeed a stunner, too beautiful, her figure oh-so alluring.If it were before, the Zimmer family would not dare to even look at her.But that day was different; they were about to be a big family in Buckwood. They thought that they might have a chance to even get a woman like her.Zack Zimmer had shown an expression that was the most heinous. He had already thought about it. When he settled everything he needed to
Senior Zimmer’s face had turned slightly darker when he looked at Yvonne Xavier.“Ms. Xavier, what… do you mean?”Yvonne chuckled, then stared at Zack Zimmer that was standing near them.Zack trembled upon the sight; his face immediately turned ugly.“I thought CEO Zimmer, you said that you read the contract closely, apparently not. I’m afraid the contract you’ve read was the one that was modified.”“Since CEO Zimmer did not know about the exact details of the contract. I brought with me today Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association to talk to you about the details and consequences of breaching the contract.”Yvonne clapped her hands lightly.After a moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the hall with his briefcase.Senior Zimmer’s mind was blown immediately after seeing the man.This was Chairman Hawkins of the Niumhi Bar Association. He had a high status.For ordinary families and companies to meet him was almost an impossible task. He acted noble and virtu
‘What?’‘Not only that, York Enterprise owns the land, and we have to pay them back four hundred and fifty-six million dollars as compensation?’Everyone was shocked after hearing it. The sight of the Zimmers looking at Chairman Hawkins had all turned sluggish.“Impossible! How could this be?! I took a look at the contract a few days ago! Not like this! Zack, bring the contract to me!”Senior Zimmer was sweating profusely. If he had known about the contract details, how would he even think about selling off the Commercial Center Project?“Grandfather…”Zack Zimmer was showing a face full of guilt. He did show Senior Zimmer the contract, but it was a fabricated one, not the one that Mandy Zimmer signed previously.He really wanted to go to Buckwood because the project in Buckwood was already destined to fall into his hands.He had enough of the feeling of being chained up by Mandy in Niumhi. He wanted to show his capabilities and prove himself in Buckwood!So he fabricated the
Senior Zimmer stared at Chairman Hawkins leave the hall blankly, then his sight started to dim. He fell onto his iron throne, his expression constantly changing.“What are we going to do?”“Even if the family sells all of our assets, I don’t think we’ll get four hundred and fifty-six million, right?”“Speaking of which, why was the contract a fake? What’s going on?”“...”The Zimmer family was gossiping. Their sight landed upon Zack Zimmer with their faces full of anger.If the Zimmer family were to go bankrupt and ended up begging for food on the streets, Zack would be to blame for everything!Senior Zimmer took a deep breath, barely hanging on to his sanity. His finger pointed at Zack while trembling.“Zack… Tell me… You… You… Why did you do this?!”“Do you not realize that you would be ruining the whole family?!”Zack opened his mouth but could not bring himself to say anything.This was the true definition of might making right!At that moment, Zack could not think of a
“What do you mean shameless?! Don’t just spout out nonsense. Nobody’s going to think you’re mute if you shut up! What right does a live-in son-in-law like you have to say anything you want here anyway?!” Quinn Zimmer said with a peculiar tone.Harvey York coldly said, “Since you have the capabilities to make up an excuse like this, why are you even afraid of being bad-mouthed by other people? Who was it that was crying and shouting at my wife to snag the contract when nobody could?!”“And now you forged a fake contract to deceive yourself and others, making a huge mistake, then you decide to shift blame!”“Can the two of you be any less shameless? You think grandfather is an idiot to believe something like this? Or do you think that he has Alzheimer’s and he would believe whatever you say?”Senior Zimmer was sitting on his seat while his eyes twitched.‘Screw you! Of course, I believe him! He’s my grandson! Why wouldn’t I?!’The problem was that the live-in son-in-law had already
“I disagree!” Harvey York stood up and roared.‘The live-in son-in-law again?! Does everything involve you?!’The Zimmer family all glared at Harvey, full of hatred. If it weren’t for Zack Zimmer’s past lessons and was afraid of Harvey breaking his head when he goes crazy, he would’ve started to throw his punches at Harvey immediately.“If you disagree, do you have another plan?” Senior Zimmer said while he stared at Harvey coldly.Harvey laughed.“Grandfather, do you know about the allusion of bringing the bramble and asking for punishment?”“And?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“I think that the CEO of York Enterprise does not need the money, the thing that York Enterprise took the most offense is not the termination of the contract but something else,” Harvey talked freely.Senior Zimmer got interested.“Then tell me, what does York Enterprise care about?”“Respect.”Harvey said with a stern face.“Does York Enterprise need money? No!”“York Enterprise is supported by the York
Harvey York said confidently, “Should be.”“Even if it doesn’t, at least it showed them the attitude of the family.”“I think, even if the CEO of York Enterprise was being unreasonable, he would surely cool down after seeing the vice CEO of the Zimmer family kneeling in front of his office, right?”“But what if that doesn’t work?”Senior Zimmer frowned.“Wouldn’t the honor of the Zimmer family be lost as well?”“Grandfather.”Harvey tried to persuade him patiently.“Even if there’s no way to fix it, at least we can show them our attitude!”“Even if we can’t fix it, we could still try to stall and buy us a few days for everyone to think of ideas, right?”“Besides, a certain someone had already kneeled before at the antique fair. One more isn’t that much, right?”Senior Zimmer was deep in thought, he was perplexed about the situation.“Of course, it might be even better if the CEO of the Zimmer family were to go himself.”Harvey took the opportunity.“If I could, I would go
Mandy Zimmer sighed, her expressions perplexed.She was from the Zimmer family after all, she only wanted to see the family safe.On the family’s brink of destruction, Zack Zimmer apologized. Her grandfather even had urged her; she saw no point in saying anything more.Harvey York secretly sighed, Mandy could have asked for more authority in the family during that situation.But Mandy valued her family more than anything else.Even if she asked for it herself, she might not even accept it.Looking at Mandy cooling herself down, Senior Zimmer stood up.“Zack, since things have been decided, don’t keep stalling. When you go this afternoon, remember to bring a lavish gift.”He was forcing Zack to go to the Yorks’ whatever it takes.Zack did not know how to feel, he only stared at Quinn Zimmer at that moment.The woman that was soon to be the most noble of all others did not even say a word.She was not married into the Silvas yet after all, she did not even know what Leon Silva
Slap!Harvey gave another slap at Jun's face."So what if I did? I'll kill you if you waste anymore of my time!" Before Jun could even finish, Harvey had already grabbed him by his neck. Onmyojis are physically weaker than most, so Jun could not fight back at all while being held like that."You fool! Release Mr. Jun!""Mr. Jun is one of the best among the onmyojis in Sky Plane!""Don't show any disrespect!"All the Islanders roared when they saw Harvey disrespected Jun so much. They quickly drew their long swords and pointed them at Harvey. Dozens of people also started to approach Mandy. Clarion and the others also reacted quickly, protecting Mandy behind them. The atmosphere between both sides became extremely tense in just one moment.Harvey's hand never released Jun's throat as he calmly turned to Kenta and said, "Alright, Kenta. Let's continue the discussion of our three conditions. The first condition is that you must escort us out of Sky Plane and guarantee our safety. A
"You really are very impressive, Kenta. It's quite rare for someone like you to exist within the Fujihara family," commented Harvey after he took a deep breath and loosened his fists. "I have a feeling that someone like you will eventually climb up the ladder. Who knows, you might be the next Island Nation's Emperor."All the Islanders around them had strange looks after they heard what Harvey had just said. Even Kenta's eyes twitched before he replied helplessly, "You're joking, Mr. Harvey. I'm just someone from the branch family. The emperor's throne has always belonged to the main branch and the main branch alone."Then, Kenta changed the subject after that. "Since it sounds like you have a change of mind, does it mean you're willing to fulfill your part of the promise?"Harvey calmly said, "Not exactly. This is just a simple trade, and so is the trade's content. I'll give you the Chapter of Ascension, and you promise three things. That's reasonable…"At this point, the mysterio
Looking at Kenta's expression, Harvey's eyes narrowed. The Islanders could become fanatical most of the time, and he knew that very well from how Kenta was presenting himself. Their people believed in collectivism to the point of radicalism. One single word from their superiors was enough to make them sacrifice themselves and fight to the bitter end, not to mention if they were convinced if it was for the greater good.In short, if he really refused to give them the Chapter of Ascension, then Kenta would really give up on this pretentious act and detonate the Emerald Jewel. However, while the Emerald Jewel could injure him, he knew it could not kill him. But, Mandy and the others were another case entirely. If the Emerald Jewel was detonated, none of them could escape.Harvey frowned, realizing that the situation was getting more complicated."Mr. Harvey, you understand that the Chapter of Ascension isn't worth the lives of the people here. Not to mention if you do manage to obtain
"Firstly, this is Sky Plane. This is the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground for the Island Nation. Based on the promise made between each of the Sacred Training Grounds, we can consider one as hostile if they enter without an invitation. That's why when you barged into this place without invitation and were suspected of murdering the citizens of Sky Plane, we have the right to stop you from leaving the place and investigate."Secondly, Mr. Sora is a citizen of Sky Plane. It is within reason for us to protect his safety. Thirdly, Grand City will need to give us a reasonable explanation for this."And finally, if any of you refuse to cooperate, then according to the laws of Sky Plane's Admin Board, we have the right to kill all the intruders!" said Kenta with a wide grin."I know you're extremely strong, Mr. Harvey. So strong that you're the best here. But the question is, what's the use if you have personal strength in this situation? Even if you can defeat a hundred, can you defeat
"Mr. Harvey, I know how powerful you are and how invincible you can be. I also have a lot of respect toward you and wouldn't dare show you any insolence," explained Kenta with a harmonious smile. "However, I need to negotiate with you as it's part of my duties. I hope you can calm down so we can talk."First of all, Ms. Mandy is alright. While it looks like you have to come and save her, you need to trust me when I said if it's not for our effort, the men from Origin Sword Style wouldn't have waited until today. With their powers, if we didn't try and stop them with everything we can, Ms. Mandy would be a corpse now. You have to give credit where credit is due, don't you think? I believe someone of your caliber won't deny it, right?"Secondly, I can swear by the name of the Ruling Royal Family that everything that happened today had nothing to do with us. Since we have decided to make a trade with you, we won't stab you in the back. Our conscience is clear when it's regarding this."
There were two men in extravagant yet classical outfits in the helicopter. Then, one of the men who were a little paler got out of the helicopter. The other man simply showed his face in the shadows of the helicopter's cabin.The man with the pale face gave Harvey a smile and bowed to him from a distance. His etiquette was perfect, and he was remarkably well-mannered.Then, he gave Harvey a gentle smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Harvey. Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm one of the persons in charge of the Sky Plane Admin Board. I'm Fujihara Kenta, a member of the Island Nation's ruling royal family. I'm also Daichi's younger brother. My brother has just given me a call saying that he's waiting for you at Grand City's Paradise Island Restaurant. He hoped that you could deliver the Chapter of Ascension as promised."Harvey's expression turned cold. After signaling Clarion to hold their positions and to protect Mandy, then he walked over and narrowed his eyes.
Mandy looked a little shaken in the smoke, but after she had regained her composure, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. But the moment she saw Harvey, there was no hiding her joy.The two of them looked at each other. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they last met each other, especially after such a struggle.After hesitating a little, Mandy said breathlessly, "Harvey, you…"And then, she could not continue after that. From being husband and wife, and arriving at this point in time. All she could say was that this was fate. Mandy did not even know how to face Harvey anymore. She was worried that it was all a dream, a dream that she had while she was dying. And once she awakened, she would once again be pulled back into a reality of despair.Once she was sure that it was not a dream, she suddenly cried. "Harvey, it really is you…""I'm sorry. I was a little late. I should have come sooner," said Harvey as he walked over and held Mandy in his arms. He was fee
After Sora had said his piece to Harvey, he immediately roared, "Scram! All of you, move aside! That way, I can consider letting you all live! Otherwise, none of you can leave Sky Plane alive!"Slap!Harvey was not letting Sora have his way. Instead, he slapped Sora's face to the point where he fell to the ground. "Do you think you have the right to order me around?"Sora crawled back up and angrily yelled, "You dare to touch me, you fool?!"Slap!Harvey gave another slap. "So what if I touch you? You think I can't? Come now. Tell me who's the one behind all this?"Sora coldly replied, "There's no one else except me!"Slap!Harvey delivered another slap. "You? It's not that I'm trying to underestimate you, but someone with your brain can't think of such a scheme. Not only did someone leak out information to me, having Sverker to wait for me, even you are here to humiliate my woman. And you tell me there's no one else pulling the strings?"Harvey's expression turned cold. "I'm
All the Origin Sword Style elites only had horror-streaked faces when they saw Sora standing face to face with Harvey. They did not dare to make any move at all. There was no question about it. Harvey's decisiveness and calmness had already filled their hearts with terror to the point that Harvey's gaze were enough to make the elites shudder and fall on their knees.When faced with someone so powerful like Magnus, they had already lost the faith to make any attacks.Harvey looked at Sora, whose face was pale. With a smile, he said, "Do you want my woman to undress?"Sora's eyes twitched as he instinctively wanted to retreat. But in the end, he managed to compose himself. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Impossible! How can you be alive? Sverker went to stop you together with 500 Origin Sword Style elites! It was enough to kill multiple True Warriors! How is it possible that you're appearing before me unharmed!" Sora was almost screaming in the end. There was despair and regret in
