“What rule did Prince York break?”Someone asked with a hesitated tone.No one dared to speak up freely as this matter was related to Prince York.This was the man who established a corporation worth millions and billions of dollars, and had stood above South Light’s ceiling since three years ago. In their eyes, he was just like a god.Even though he was the reason they were going bankrupt… Yet, who dared to show even the slightest bit of resentment towards him?They understood their place. None of them had the right to do so!Watching them, all Brent Silva could feel was disdain.These people had been high and mighty all this while, eating and living off their families’ wealth without a care in the world. Yet, look how timid they became the moment they stumbled over an obstacle! Of course, he couldn’t possibly show his disdain. Instead, he continued, “Not long ago, a family by the name Zimmer just moved into Buckwood. Have you heard of them?”Some replied indifferently, “T
Brent Silva looked at Zack Zimmer and replied, “How can I be as smart as you? You’ve only been in Buckwood for a few days, but you already know how to build and use your connections well.”Zack bowed lightly and said, “I can’t comment on that, but even someone like me knows how deep the waters of Buckwood go. In order to survive, a strong backing is necessary.”“Using this opportunity to get connected with a family as esteemed as the Silvas is my pleasure.”“From now onwards I would gladly do anything Mr. Silva orders me, no matter what!”Brent curled his lips. “You’re someone who can sell off your own family without batting an eye. How can I trust you? Those are your close relatives!”“Mr. Silva, we businessmen will always chase after profit.” Zack flashed Brent a devilish grin. “It’s our true nature!”“Anyway, someone who doesn’t belong to the Zimmer family has nothing to do with me.”“Plus, after the plan succeeded, you’ll be able to get what you want, won’t you? What kind o
At Senior Zimmer’s order, one of the Zimmers stood up proudly and blocked those rich heirs with a smug grin. “Gentlemen, this is a private property. You can’t simply trespass here.”“Zimmers? As in, the Zimmers from Niumhi?”A buff rich heir spoke up coldly.This Zimmer didn’t sense anything wrong and continued grinning. “That’s right! We’re the Zimmers from Niumhi, and we’re under Sky Corporation. If you want to meet our CEO, you need to make a reservation first. Today I don’t think…”Slap!Before he could end his sentence, the rich heir slapped him hard across the face. He was utterly dumbfounded.The rich heir continued, “What a family! Insignificant outsiders like you people dare to call yourselves a new rich family in Buckwood in front of us? Hah!”His acquaintances who were standing behind him let out mocking sneers.Despite the fact they were now facing bankruptcy, in the past they were feared by many.It was obvious they came here to make trouble and besmirch the Zimme
Senior Zimmer’s face darkened instantly.He was the Zimmers’ CEO. His company had Sky Corporation’s backing and was on good terms with the Silvas. Not to mention, the Zimmers once collaborated with the distinguished Naiswells.No matter how one looked at it, the Zimmers clearly had a high enough status.And yet, Craig Long literally smashed a cup right in front of him. What’s the meaning of this?Senior Zimmer was a bit taken aback, but he inhaled deeply and said slowly, “Mr. Long, correct? We Zimmers always treat everyone genuinely. If you came with good intentions, we will welcome you with the utmost kindness and respect.”“But seeing your actions, it’d be best for us to send you out, no?”“Send us out?” Craig sniggered. “We’re not done yet. If you don’t give us a good explanation, I can assure you, we won’t let you Zimmers survive in Buckwood!”“We’ll make you understand the consequences of offending people like us!”The others chortled along.“A family as insignificant as
Craig Long replied coldly, “Well then, allow me to begin!”“I don’t know what your family’s Mandy Zimmer did to take your business out of bankruptcy.”“It may be due to her skills, but as I’ve said before, we have our own rules and conventions in Buckwood’s commercial world. Without them, nothing can proceed smoothly.”“Her doing this makes you Zimmers the enemies of all the elites and royalties of Buckwood!”The Zimmers took in all of this with stunned realization.Quinn was the first to react. She stood up angrily and exclaimed passionately, “Grandpa! I always thought something wasn’t right! How could Mandy solve all of our problems the moment she shows up? It doesn’t make sense!”“She must’ve resorted to dirty tricks!”“We Zimmers are righteous and upright folk. How can we tolerate someone like her in our midst?”“The way Mandy works violates the basic rules of Buckwood’s business industry. Instead of saving our family, she’s bringing harm to all of us!”“Grandpa! I suggest
Senior Zimmer was patient as he explained his thoughts to the rest.Craig Long furrowed his eyebrows lightly, and then snuck a quick glance at Zack.Zack shot him a discreet glance in reply, before turning to his grandfather to speak. “Grandpa, you can’t do that! Mandy’s going to think I planned a farce to discredit her and reach the top!”“About that…”“What about it?” Craig cut in, snickering. “Well… seeing that CEO Zimmer’s come to a decision, we’ll let you all off the hook for now. Remember this! If you don’t keep your word and Mandy Zimmer still remains in power, it’ll be all over for you Zimmers! We’ll make sure of it.”“Come on, guys. We’re leaving!”Craig Long strode haughtily out of the door, followed by his clique. Unlike him, they looked rather astonished and dumbfounded. They had stormed the Zimmer mansion filled with rage and frustration, but they achieved nothing. How was this a satisfactory conclusion? None of this is enough! …Once outside, one of the rich he
At the same time, Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer arrived home.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates stared at Harvey in disbelief. “How did you do that? Senior Zimmer actually came here and invited Mandy back personally!”“Because I was the one who made the decision,” Harvey replied solemnly.Simon and others treated his words as a mere joke, but didn’t make fun of him.“It’s strange.” Simon furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Why is everything solved whenever Mandy appears? Is our family that incredible?” Their doubts of Mandy being Prince York’s secret lover vanished into the wind.If that was truly the case, how could a man as esteemed as Prince York allow Mandy to bring along her live-in husband to Sky Corporation?Mandy was dumbfounded as well. “Yeah! The way that deputy director acted was really strange. He was so friendly to me!”Mandy was always an intelligent girl, but she was too astounded by her experience today to stop and think about the whole matter thoroughly. Right now
Before heading out, Mandy Zimmer thought to herself for a while and said, “Harvey, I think we should tell grandpa and others first. After all, we’re representing the Zimmers to sign the framework agreement.”“I don’t think there’s a need for that. Sky Corporation specifically requested for you. There’s no use for anyone else to go.” Harvey York replied lightly.“I should at least make a call. He’s my grandpa, so I have to show some respect.” Mandy was such an obedient granddaughter.Almost immediately, Senior Zimmer picked up her call.His fake cough could be heard clearly from the phone. “Mandy! Anything you need?”“Grandpa, right now I’m heading over to Sky Corporation to sign the framework agreement. I just thought I should tell you.” Mandy replied respectfully.“Ah, about that. Zack and Quinn are already on their way there. You don’t have to go anymore!” Senior Zimmer’s tone was full of impatience. “The Zimmer company has arranged an office for you, so just go do your work.”
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
