Brent Silva initially had no interest in hosting this pointless banquet.If it weren’t for the fact that his family had forced this task on him, he wouldn’t have come.Yet at this moment, he felt he had committed to the right choice.Brent was a typical phony. While he fancied both sisters, Mandy and Xynthia Zimmer, he did not act like a greasy man. Rather, he put on a personable facade. He raised his glass to Mandy, whose face was red. He said, “Senior Zimmer, let me congratulate the Zimmer family on behalf of the Silvas tonight!”“The Zimmer family is the best of the best. Now, you are the leading figure in the business community in Buckwood. You’ll be part of Buckwood’s noble circle in the near future. Here’s to you, Senior Zimmer.”Senior Zimmer was so excited that his hands shook.Brent was from the Silva family!Not only did the Silvas hold a welcome dinner for the Zimmer family, Brent Silva also personally toasted to him. This was an incredible privilege.“It’s my hono
“That’s right, I heard a very important person had come to Buckwood. He arrived at the airport in the afternoon. The Zimmer family is truly lucky, maybe all of you arrived at the same time as him!”“It’s said that the heirs of the first class families such as the Naiswells and the Cloudes are all here to see that big shot. Unfortunately, they aren’t qualified enough!”“What’s this?! I saw Queenie York of the Yorks there as well. She seemed to have been waiting at the airport for several hours. In the end, she was unfortunate and wasn’t able to meet him.”“By any chance, did you Zimmers get to see him?”Senior Zimmer remained silent.Then, he nodded and smiled at the crowd’s discussion. “Everyone. After we learned about him, our family sent him an invitation here. We’re not sure if he would come to our banquet.”“It should be impossible. How could such a big shot come to this kind of banquet?”“It’s someone that even the Yorks couldn’t meet!”No one believed him.Senior Zimmer
Immediately, the Zimmers started making weird expressions. Lilian Yates gritted her teeth. “I’ve forgotten that this useless b*stard hasn’t appeared yet!” Didn’t this live-in son-in-law understand his place?Didn’t he realize what kind of occasion this is? How could he have dared stepping inside?On top of that, he came in so boldly!Damn it!Lilian couldn’t help shooting a fierce glare at Simon Zimmer.Had it not been for his cowardice in Niumhi, she would’ve long driven this live-in son-in-law out!Did he not see that Brent Silva has fallen in love with their daughter?That was such a great opportunity!Yet, everything was ruined by this wimp!As for Simon, his gaze turned gloomy.In Niumhi, Senior Zimmer had the final say. However, that was not the case in Buckwood.He must let this wimp go!Harvey York ignored the strange gazes from the crowd and walked up to Senior Zimmer.“Congratulations, Senior Zimmer. The Zimmer family has officially set foot in Buckwood today
“Is this the live-in son-in-law? Look at how the Zimmers treat him! He doesn’t have any worth at all!”“His clothes are too shabby. I bet he doesn’t have much money.”“For a poor sap like him, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars is enough to live for a long time. I’m sure he’ll agree to it.”“But the Zimmer family is certainly interesting. To think they came up with this kind of event to entertain everyone, hahaha…”Harvey York was speechless.The crowd was talking and looking at Harvey with a gleeful look.Everyone was anticipating whether this live-in son-in-law would kneel or not.Zack Zimmer shouted fiercely, “Kneel and grovel to me!”Things were different now.Now, Zack had several great people backing him.He believed that Harvey, the live-in son-in-law, wouldn’t dare to mess with him this time.Harvey stared at Zack wordlessly. In his eyes, there was only coldness.“Kneel!”Zack pressed Harvey’s shoulder with one hand, forcing Harvey to kneel.Unfortunately, Har
Sean Zimmer replied with a puzzled look, “He should have already arrived by now. I’ll call his secretary and ask.”Soon, Sean's face became ashen and he hung up the phone. He said, “Father, the big shot had already come. He’d just left.” “What? Has he been here?”“The big shot said that the Zimmer family is too stupid…”“I understand! He must have seen that idiot Harvey making trouble when he arrived. That’s why he left angrily!”“It must be because the Zimmer family doesn’t respect him!”Senior Zimmer yelled, “Harvey, you’re a useless b*stard. You must die!”Everyone in the banquet reacted to Senior Zimmer’s outburst.The Zimmer family’s live-in son-in-law, Harvey had angered the big shot!His action was ruining the Zimmer family’s fortune!Harvey was the sinner of the Zimmer family!Right now, the Zimmers were all gritting their teeth, wishing to devour Harvey whole.Senior Zimmer turned around and looked at Simon. He said viciously, “I agree! Divorce him!”“Let Mandy d
Simon Zimmer sneered, “Harvey York, it’s not that I want to talk about you. Think about it. What were you in Niumhi in the past years?“Trash! Loser! Rubbish! That’s how people describe you!“Protecting Mandy? Protecting the Zimmer family even?!“How will you protect us?“Using your mouth?!”Lilian Yates also sneered, “To rely on this bragging mouth of yours? Harvey! I beg of you, there’s a limit to bragging!”Harvey smiled. “Father, mother, the situation now is different from that in Niumhi.”“I have to lay low in Niumhi.“But now I’m back here in Buckwood. The king is back!”Even Mandy Zimmer could not listen to this anymore this time.She glared at Harvey and said, “Harvey! Can you be more realistic?“The king is back?!“Even if you’re competent, you still have to work hard and make a little progress!“I thought you have changed these days, and yet, you’re still like this.“Can you get rid of this boastful nature of yours?“Can’t you make it a little easier for me?”
“Shut up! I don’t want to listen to these unrealistic fantasies!“Harvey, how old are you? Do you think you’re still a three-year-old kid?“Can’t we be more realistic?“Even if you have nothing, as long as you take one step at a time, I believe you can!”Mandy Zimmer sighed.Harvey York opened his mouth but did not know what to say.At this time, Mandy would not believe anything that he said.Mandy then took out a suit from the closet. “I bought this for you. Put it on tomorrow and go to the family banquet.“I will beg Grandfather and let him give you another chance!“But you must remember that you can’t go crazy like today, okay?”Harvey sighed and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”He also felt helpless after saying this.In Niumhi, he did say that he was the CEO of York Enterprise, but Mandy refused to believe him.Now that he had come to Buckwood, he said that he would protect the Zimmer family, Mandy still did not believe in him.It was not just Mandy who did not beli
“Hey, loser! You ruined everything for the Zimmer family, and yet you dare to come?”“Do you truly think that we don’t dare to beat you?”“If it weren’t for Third Uncle pleading for you in front of the old man, I would have beaten you to death now!”“Trash, you should man up!”Harvey York remained silent.All eyes fell onto Harvey instantly.Senior Zimmer’s face was cold, to ignore Harvey and others completely.This was simply because this was Buckwood. Simon Zimmer did have some connections, and he was also the one who got in contact with the Silva family.That was why Senior Zimmer still respected him.If this was Niumhi, Harvey and others would have been driven out long ago due to his character.However, even so, he did not even look at Harvey and the others in the eye at this moment.Senior Zimmer currently liked Quinn Zimmer’s family the most. After all, Quinn was about to marry into the Silva family.In this matter, even the promising Zack Zimmer’s family could not ma
"That's her, Big bro! According to my spy, he said Juliana is no longer hiding it and cheats openly! I didn't want to believe it, but from the looks of it, she's been cheating all this time!" Alexei said to Harvey. He was so upset that he almost cried.Harvey frowned. "That's all you know? What else do you have?"Alexei quickly took out his phone. "My spy has just sent me all the information. Juliana went to Lost City for further studies, and she studied well. Originally, according to the promise made, she should already be back about half a month ago so we could get married. However, she got to know this man called Hawk John at her graduation party. The two became fast friends. She even announced that they're best friends forever!"I thought they were just ordinary friends, but from the looks of it… That isn't it at all! Forget hiding it, Juliana's directly taking him back! I hate this!" Alexei slammed his chest, as if he were in a lot of pain.Harvey was speechless. "Seriou
Harvey's eyes started to twitch as he immediately gave Alexei a look. It was a call for help.Alexei shrugged. There was nothing he could do. However, it was exactly at this time that his phone suddenly started to vibrate. He gave it a weird look and picked it up. Then, he was stunned… He was practically frozen. No longer caring about anything, Alexei immediately ran over to Harvey and hugged his legs tightly. "Bro! Big bro! You have to help me! You must!"Alexei instantly started crying.Harvey promptly bent down and held Alexei's shoulder. As if he had found a way out, he said solemnly, "Don't worry, Alexei. I've always treated you like my own little brother. Your problem is also my problem. Even if the world is collapsing, I will protect you. So, stop worrying!"Alexei was so touched that he couldn't stop himself from weeping. "You're treating me so well, Big bro, even after I sold you out to my Senior…"Harvey's eyes twitched again. "We're family! What can I say? Let's
Harvey's eyes instinctively twitched. "It belongs to me, so why can't I stay here?"Vaida said worriedly, "Now that Grand City is so chaotic and the Sacred Lands are on the verge of getting into a fight, it's really dangerous if you stay outside. Both my father and I are worried about you. So… Shouldn't you move back?"Harvey led Vaida into the living room and said with a smile, "Don't overthink things, Vaida. It's exactly because things are getting unruly that I should stay in Dragon Gate Training Hall to be a stabilizing presence as their scion, right? Not to mention, I've bothered all of you too much all this time. I have too much going on. If I stay there, it will only bother the mayor, Mr. Wenzel, and Mr. Geoffrey. So, it's better if I stay at my own place."However, Harvey paused when he reached this part of the conversation. "Of course, if there's a need, all you need to do is to give me a call and I'll be there."Vaida nodded. "Harvey, other than the reason you've given us
Mandy was a little startled, then looked at Harvey with a strange look. "You're in such a rush to get rid of me? Don't tell me you really want to be the mayor's son-in-law? I've been here less than a day, and there are already plenty of people warning me about you becoming one."Harvey rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to their nonsense. If I really wanted to be his son-in-law, I wouldn't have gone to save you.""Then why are you in such a rush to send me away?"Harvey sighed. "There are really some things that are beyond my abilities. Let's use what happened this time with Clarion as an example. It's true that I let him take the glory, but after doing that, Dan now considers me an enemy and a thorn in his side. "As a member of the Top Ten Families, you have some understanding of him, don't you? Since he can't deal with me effectively, he'll definitely start with you. The reason I'm asking you to leave is for your own safety."Mandy clicked her tongue. "If Dan really wants to do
Emery slowly flipped and opened the Chapter of Ascension. The Chapter itself was old, written with small letters. Accompanied the original texts were notes and some insights.Emery only believed a portion of the rumors regarding the Chapter of Ascension. After reading through the notes and personal reflections, he could ascertain that the Chapter of Ascension was genuine.What was written inside the Chapter of Ascension was indeed capable of completely changing a martial artist's way of thinking.As he read through it, Emery was already subconsciously trying to test and start training by following what was recorded within the Chapter of Ascension. He had just started to let the energy inside of him flow, but had already noticed that his power, that reached a bottleneck for some time, started to have a breakthrough.In just an instant, Emery could already feel somewhat stronger. It was only a small amount, but it was enough to excite him. It meant that the Chapter of Ascension w
The Wright residence, Wolsing.When Janus got out of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, it was around midnight. He looked around carefully before quickly entering a courtyard within the residence, holding a wooden box.He walked through the corridors with full familiarity and entered a study.Emery, the Number One Young Master of Wolsing, was quietly holding a piece of gemstone, brushing it against his thumb.Janus didn't run in. Instead, he waited until Emery was done looking at the gemstone before entering. "Good evening, sir."Emery raised his head and glanced at Janus. "So? Did you get it?"Janus smiled. "Is there anything in this world you want that we can't get for you?"He carefully put the small box on the coffee table and smiled."While Harvey and that idiot Hale are all quite good," he said, "they're all pawns playing to your tune. This time, with Daichi working for us and Sky Plane suffering such a huge loss, we finally have it in our hands. If those monsters from Sky Plane kne
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
