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.”
Nobody could comprehend why such a good project with so many resources would be given to Zimmer Enterprise, of all people.This small company had just come to Buckwood not long ago. Yet none of them dared to say anything about this, not where they were all under Sky Corporation. They could only voice out congratulatory remarks and praises to Zimmer Enterprise’s representatives, Zack and Quinn Zimmer. The two accepted everything with delight.“Next,” the director continued, “I would like to invite Zimmer Enterprise’s representatives to sign the framework agreement at the back office.”The person in charge of the framework agreement was still the deputy director of the previous business department.The executive director was only making announcements based on the decision made by Sky Corporation’s senior management.“Huh? Where is Mrs. Zimmer?” The deputy director craned his neck to look for her, his eyes searching through the crowd for a glimpse of Mandy.“Mandy is occupied wi
At Sky Corporation.Zack and Quinn Zimmer waited anxiously for more than half an hour until the deputy director finally returned.He shook hands with Zack Zimmer, smiling genially. “Vice CEO Zimmer, please go back and tell CEO Zimmer that our arrangement doesn’t require him to show himself in person. If there are any questions or doubts, a simple call will suffice. He has my number.”“Also, this is something I specially prepared for him. Please give this to him on my behalf.”The deputy director took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Zack.What?Sky Corporation’s deputy director is giving Zimmer Enterprise’s CEO a gift?What’s going on?Zack was still in a daze as he walked out of Sky Corporation while holding the gift box. He did not understand what had happened.However, Quinn was very curious. She kept staring at the gift box for a long time. Finally, she couldn’t hold herself back and blurted out, “Zack, what’s in it? Let’s open it!”Zack was just as curious, but
"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
