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
Mandy Zimmer seemed down when she walked out of the hall.Harvey York swiftly caught up with her.“Dear, do you feel wronged?”“Wronged?”Mandy sighed.“I’m a Zimmer, no matter how indecent these people are, these trash, they are my family.”“I just think it’s a shame. Why can’t the Zimmers just finish the Commercial Center Project properly? Why are they even thinking of going to Buckwood?”“Once we finish the Commercial Center Project, the Zimmer family would be able to build a good foundation with the project!”“The Zimmer family could finally be ranked among Niumhi’s first-class families with this project. Why would they be so greedy?!”Mandy felt horrible. She had given so much effort to finish the project.She almost could not accept the current conclusion.But what if she couldn’t anyway?Could she have changed anything on her own?Impossible.“If it were you, how would you change it?” Harvey said after giving some thought.But there was something that he did not s
In the afternoon, at the CEO’s office in York Enterprise.It had been a while since Harvey York visited the company. There were quite a few contracts to sign.Harvey had not invested too much into the eight hundred million dollar plan that he had suggested at the moment.But he did retract all the bad investments.This way, York Enterprise would increase in company value compared to before. Of course, the rate of return won’t be too much.But this was the reformation period of the company. Harvey had accepted it.After signing the contracts, Harvey then leaned on his chair.“Go talk to the higher-ups in the company. We need to select some people to open a branch office at Buckwood next…”“Soon, most of our businesses would be at Buckwood. The people willing to go with us would have their pay increased by thirty percent...”Yvonne Xavier was shocked. She could not help but ask, “Sir, Buckwood is the York family’s home turf…”“On the outside, the company is affiliated with the
Zack Zimmer unconsciously wanted to go crazy, but he eventually held back and shyly said, “My apology is quite unusual. It would definitely make the CEO happier. Could you please ask for his time?”“Unusual? How unusual?” The lady at the front desk frowned.She sized up Zack and then realized.“I remember now, I heard that some vice CEO from the Zimmers had kneeled in front of people at an antique fair. Was that you?”“If you’re going to kneel for my CEO later, I guess I’ll try to contact him then.”Zack’s face was as dark as night.‘Screw you, Harvey York! It’s all your fault!’‘My bad reputation has been spread across all of Niumhi!’‘Thank goodness that the family is about to go to Buckwood. Nobody there would know about these embarrassing things.’‘When the Zimmers become a second-class family in Buckwood, I’ll come back to Niumhi and give you fools a beating!’But then, even the lady was mocking him with a resolve for revenge. Zack Zimmer that had come to give a humble a
The Zimmers looked at each other and shook their heads.They had no choice. York Enterprise was basically the master of Niumhi City, and was certainly competent enough to hold that position.Wasn’t Zack Zimmer touted to be extremely brilliant?So why did he end up kneeling in the hallway when he’s asked to?The Zimmers thought no else had any knowledge of this matter. In reality, the news had already spread throughout the whole city.“Enough!” Senior Zimmer raised his arm. “I heard that the new CEO of York was very satisfied with your kneeling!”“York Enterprise has the support of the York family. We Zimmers may be connected with the Silva family now, but still we’re no match against the Yorks.”“Although the CEO’s insulting you, at least you managed to ease the tension between both sides.”“After this, we must find a representative to talk to the people of York Enterprise. Maybe then, we’ll get a chance to reconcile.”“Zack, why don’t you go see them again?”Senior Zimmer ha
Things were rather chaotic during the past few days in Niumhi City.Everyone knew that after York Enterprise changed CEOs, the company terminated a lot of old and declining businesses. The new CEO even prepared fifteen million dollars to seek out new projects and collaborations.So many begged for these projects, only to be rejected right at the doorstep.Who would have thought that a second-class family like the Zimmers could successfully acquire York Enterprise’s investments and build a friendly collaboration with the company?The problem was, the Zimmers didn’t treasure this opportunity well enough.One of them must’ve been out of his or her mind to want to sell off this collaborated project. In the end, the dominant Yorks forced the Zimmers to compensate the finances in accordance to their signed contracts.The Zimmers tried to send their Vice CEO, Zack Zimmer, to reconcile. As a result, Zack was forced to kneel in the hallway for the entire afternoon.It seemed not only
Hearing of Senior Zimmer’s reassurance, Zack Zimmer was delighted. He bowed to Senior Zimmer, his back angled at a perfect ninety degrees.“Grandpa, as the eldest grandson of the family, my efforts are nothing! What I do is for a better future for us Zimmers!” “After we move to Buckwood, I’ll contribute more and work even harder for the family!”Senior Zimmer nodded and smiled in relief. “Good! That’s my grandson!”At that moment, everyone heard the sound of footsteps outside the gate of the Zimmer’s mansion.Yvonne Xavier, dressed in a suit, strode into the entrance.Instantly, they focused their gaze on her.A VIP like Yvonne actually came to visit them again! It seemed the CEO of York Enterprise was no longer furious with them. This was a happy occasion worth celebrating!“Secretary Xavier, we’ve been waiting for your arrival.” Senior Zimmer was all smiles. “Come in, come in!” The fact that Yvonne was willing to see them was proof of the Yorks’ impression of their family.
What?! A hundred and fifty million dollars?!At Yvonne Xavier’s light tone, every single one of the Zimmerswas shocked once again and began to shudder.York Enterprise was indeed extremely well off!The Zimmers couldn’t sleep for nights out of sheer panic regarding the one hundred and fifty million dollars.And now?The Yorks could easily produce that much money, as if they couldn’t care less about the amount!Even if the Zimmers sold their entire businesses and properties, it could only amount to a hundred and fifty million dollars at most. Perhaps even less!Still in shock, their gazes on Yvonne became more heated and desperate.With that amount, the Zimmers wouldn’t need to sell off their properties or projects anymore in order to move to Buckwood.Senior Zimmer wouldn't have to worry about anything. At the same time, he could preserve their business in Niumhi City!Senior Zimmer was so exhilarated, he almost got a stroke right there and then.The rest of the Zimmers we
Night fell by the time Harvey and the others returned to Grand City.Kenta had already left midway. It was obvious that he knew following Harvey and the others was pointless now.In the meantime, before returning to Grand City, Harvey had already instructed Clarion to spread the news of Origin Sword Style's extermination back to Grand City and how Earth Hall was instrumental in its destruction.By the time Clarion returned to Grand City, he was immediately enthusiastically welcomed back home. Initially, many people had an issue with him suddenly becoming the leader of Earth Hall. However, they did not expect Clarion to be able to single-handedly handle one of the main pillars of Sky Plane, the Origin Sword Style school shortly after he led the Earth Hall.While many did not know what actually transpired, Clarion and his team brought Isoroku's body back to Grand City. Taking Isoroku's body back was a great achievement on its own as it also means that Sky Plane's overall power would
Isoroku immediately crumpled on the ground. The arrogant master of the Origin Sword Style suddenly surrendered and killed himself. There was only bitterness and regret on his face, as if regretting why he did not simply stay and train in isolation. That way, he would not meet the person before him… Harvey.However, no matter how much regret he had, he needed to commit suicide.That was because he knew very well that Harvey had revealed to him his true identity. If he refused to die, Harvey would turn around and completely wipe out the Origin Sword Style. Now that he decisively made such a decision, Harvey would not return to Sky Plane.Harvey looked at Isoroku's body. With a smirk, he said, "That's why I don't like others to find out who I really am." Then, Harvey planted his foot on Isoroku's longsword. There was a loud clang, and the longsword instantly shattered. Its fragments fired in all directions.All the Origin Sword Style elites had been eradicated completely.A few minut
Isoroku's blade slashed downward. It was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye. However, before it could even touch Harvey's body, Isoroku suddenly saw him raise his right hand and flicked, hitting the blade when it was just starting to get close.Clang!It was an extremely simple move. However, Harvey's flick reached the blade first, and he immediately parried the attack. Isoroku's entire body shuddered, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought he was already victorious, but he was left with a shocked expression.He raised his blade and wanted to attempt another attack, but he could not do anything for a long while. Harvey was simply standing there with a calm expression. The two of them were close to each other, and Harvey looked like he was completely exposed. However, for someone like Isoroku, when someone was completely exposed, it also meant that he was not exposed at all. If he was not exposed, his blade could not slash downward at him anymore."You… You must h
"The joy's of youth," said Isoroku with a sigh of admiration. "To be young means to be fearless. It also means that there is no respect, and there is ignorance just how difficult it is for something to be overcome. When I'm in a good and chatty mood, you're attempting to anger me. You think that it's your power that makes me pause when I'm the one who's bestowing you this opportunity. You're simply too naive."Harvey calmly replied, "So you want to use your age to force me to respect you. Don't you understand that it's always out with the old and in with the new? If you don't, you'll really get thrown out one day."While the two of them were calmly exchanging words, the truth was from the moment they met each other, they were already clashing against each other. "Looks like there's nothing more to say."Isoroku sighed and slowly pointed the edge of his blade at Harvey. "I will now kill everyone close to you first before slicing your limbs. I'll make you die as you scream in pain."
Harvey was already making quite a concession. When he left with Sora, he was already prepared to kill him once he had arrived at his destination. But since Isoroku came knocking, he did not mind giving Sora up since he was not that important anyway."You're so confident, Harvey. So full of vigor. However, you forgot that in this condition, you're not in a place to negotiate," said Isoroku coldly. "Even if someone's going to come up with the conditions, that person will be me."Let's see now… Release that disappointing son of mine, and then leave your woman behind. Then, you will personally maim the limbs of your own men and then yourself. Only then will I allow you to leave on your knees. How does that sound?" It was clear Isoroku thought little of Harvey in the end."I'm not in the business of making life difficult for unimportant people like you. But since the Origin Sword Style has lost so many people, I need to get something back for them as their Predecessor, correct?"Then, H
"I've already heard your name even before you step foot in Grand City. That's because the Six Schools are all connected to the Origin Sword Style. By defeating all Six Schools alone, you have disrespected me," explained Isoroku, as if he was in the mood for a chat."What's more, you even killed my beloved student Sverker and even took down my worthless son? If it isn't because my source is very well trusted, I couldn't even believe it. For you to reach this level of power at this age, it's beyond amazing. Perhaps it's true when they say that the youths should never be underestimated!" Isoroku said with a sigh of admiration.Dozens of elites stepped out from the other military helicopters. They were probably Isoroku's personal students. All of them looked at Harvey with suspicion and shock. All of them knew how powerful Sverker was, that was why they found it even harder to believe that Harvey could defeat Sverker.Even if they put Sverker's defeat on one side, Sora was accompanied b
The opposing force got out of the helicopters after they landed, armed with weapons. Some were melee weapons, some were firearms, and they looked high and mighty all the way.Kenta had no choice but to step up. He raised his hand and yelled, "I'm from Fujihara…"But before he could even finish, someone from the other side had already pulled the trigger. A bullet streaked through Kenta's hair, and he finally broke a sweat when he realized what had just happened.Harvey knew very clearly that they were coming for him after seeing what happened. That was why he decided not to stay still anymore and stepped forward. He coldly said, "You're here for me, aren't you? Tell Isoroku to come talk to me."I have to say you are quite brave, Harvey. Calling me by name without any honorifics," A stern and cold voice came from a helicopter right before them. The door opened, and an islander slowly walked out. It was a man with white hair and beard.His figure was thin and even looked sickly, defi
"You're someone who has experience, too. You know that you'll need at least three hours to prepare to get this many military helicopters deployed. It's not something that you can do in an instant. It means that while you're still fighting with Sora and his men, Isoroku has been standing by in this place."Not to mention that we Fujiharas will never work with them before getting what we want. Which means that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew that you will most likely survive even if you're at a disadvantage. That's why they've been staying here for a long time."While everyone knew that Kenta was probably just spewing nonsense, Clarion was still partially convinced when he heard how Kenta made his argument sound plausible. Could it be that Kenta was not the one pulling the strings here?Harvey narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "At the very least, Kenta's right about his social standing being insufficient to work with Isoroku. Not to mention that now that they have obtai
At this time, the helicopter was passing through rows of mountains and valleys. This area was uninhabited. After passing through this uninhabited area, one would arrive at the Golden Triangle. Once one passed through the Golden Triangle, one would reach Hyperborea and finally Grand City.It was around this time that Harvey could feel a burst of murderous intent."Crap! Everyone, brace yourselves!" Clarion suddenly yelled as he looked in front of him from the front seats. He even took out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep huff to increase his mental focus as his expression darkened.Harvey quickly walked over to the front and narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw a swarm of helicopters flying in mid-air in a tight formation. Harvey looked at the flag on the helicopters with a smirk and gave Kenta a glance. "This is your so-called guarantee?"Kenta's expression also darkened as he looked in front in disbelief. After a while, he finally spoke in a shaky voice, "Forget about the helico
