Queenie York stared at the direction Harvey left. After a while, she broke into an amused smile. “Second Brother, let’s make a guess. Do you think his words were meant for me, or for you?”A man in a tunic walked out. He was playing with a jade-made chess piece clenched in his hand. He said indifferently, “It’s for me, and also for you…”“Aren’t you afraid?” Queenie asked.“Why should I be? You mustn’t be afraid if you want to tame a fiery horse. The Yorks are like that, and so are you.” Faint crimson flashed through Quinton’s eyes, but he quickly recovered his composure.He wasn’t sure if Queenie understood him. She replied casually, “Since Big Brother has come to declare war, then I’ll stop playing tricks on my sister-in-law.”“Whatever.” Quinton strode out of the suite.“But let me advise you, don’t overdo it. Even I can’t save you if you keep playing with fire!”As soon as he finished speaking, he left and vanished without a trace. Queenie’s smile disappeared. She looked a
This incident made the unmarried women of the Zimmer family incredibly happy. They were so excited, they couldn’t sleep well for days and nights.They could sense that this was another one of Prince York’s betrothal gifts for his future wife. Whoever who was elected as the new CEO would attain fifty-one percent of shares from Sky Corporation.As for Senior Zimmer, he would be replaced.On this day, all the relatives of the Zimmer family arrived in Buckwood and held a meeting in Zimmer Enterprise’s new company building.Senior Zimmer sat in the CEO’s seat and looked at the rest of the Zimmers before him. Ambition and passion coloured their eyes, regardless of their gender. The CEO of a brand-new company, backed by the powerful Prince York! This kind of progress was destined to make them into a first-class family in Buckwood!Such an incredible position was making the Zimmers knock their heads from sheer excitement.Once again, Senior Zimmer felt powerless.After he came to Bu
The Zimmers exchanged silent glances as they listened to Zack’s spirited exclamation.Although everyone had their own greed and ambition… Senior Zimmer had been in charge of the Zimmers for many, many years.Even until now, he still wanted to remain in power. Who dared to disobey him in person?“Father, we too think that you are most suited to be the CEO!”Sean Zimmer was the first to stand up and support Zack.“Yes! As long as you continue to be the CEO, no matter what the new company is called, it’s still the Zimmer Enterprise!”“Grandfather, you’ve brought us Zimmers this far. Under your leadership, becoming a first-class family in Buckwood is within reach!”Senior Zimmer knew they were insincere, but their words satisfied him. “You all…”“I’m senile. I’ve always wanted to retire and enjoy a good fortune.”“But when I look at you youngsters, apart from Zack, none of you are capable enough!”“I can’t allow you to act on behalf of the Zimmers and laze around. Embarrassing
“Yes… It seems that there is such a rumor.”“Prince York wanted young people to be the new CEO.”“Prince York did mention newcomers bringing in a fresh perspective. He wanted to give us Zimmers a chance to prove ourselves. We can’t make any mistakes.”“We all truly support you, Grandfather. But is it alright to disobey Prince York like this?”“Prince York owns fifty-one percent of our shares. In other words, he can control our company now and in the future. Does it make any sense for us to choose the new CEO right now?”Senior Zimmer fell silent.The Zimmers pretended to look discomfited, as if saying all that was against their conscience.In truth, they were about to crack broad grins.How would they get a chance to rise if they let this old man remain in power?Now that this live-in son-in-law had come forward to make trouble, they just went along with it.This way, they would have the opportunity to become the CEO.After all, this live-in son-in-law could never be the CE
If Senior Zimmer couldn't not find a scapegoat to vent his anger, he would end up unleashing the full brunt of his fury on Zack.Zack knew his grandfather all too well.Whoever “suitable” at this moment would be extremely unlucky.Just then, his eyes fell on Mandy Zimmer.Senior Zimmer had always hated her, anyway. Letting her be the most “suitable” person would be great."Grandfather, I think Mandy is the most suitable!”“After all, she was the one who brought back the framework agreement! She deserves to be the CEO of the new company!”Zack blurted out, speaking without a care in the world.He must praise Mandy! The more he elevated her, the worse things would be for her.Zack’s intention was lost on the rest of the Zimmers. However, some of them contemplated his words and ended up agreeing with him.“Yes, Mandy is familiar with the people of Sky Corporation. So, it’s okay for her to be the new CEO.”“Besides, she has nothing to do all day long. She can’t keep being a rice
If Senior Zimmer absolutely had to choose the younger Zimmers to be the CEO, then he would certainly need to pick Mandy Zimmer.With that, he made a final decision. “Prince York hopes that the Zimmers would choose a young person to be the new CEO.”“To top it off, Mandy did make a huge contribution to the Zimmer family!”“Therefore, I think I’ll let Mandy be the CEO of the new company.”The whole crowd fell silent. Moments later, some of them mumbled out sparse agreements.Mandy was dumbfounded. Only now did she understand what Senior Zimmer wanted her to do.Did he want her to be the CEO of the new company?How could this happen to her?“Grandfather, she can’t do it! She’s incompetent. I don’t think she’s suitable!”“Grandfather, just choose any of us. We’re better than her! What right does she have?!”“Yes! The betrothal gifts from Prince York are for his future wife. She’s a married woman. How is that fair?!”Other Zimmers pointed and cursed at Mandy.They didn’t want Se
On that day, news about the Zimmer family’s election of the new CEO spread all over Buckwood.At the same time, the name of the new company was also decided.Silver Nimbus Enterprise!Since the new company’s main business was Silver Nimbus Mountain Resort, it would be named after the project.However, in Buckwood, the phrase “Silver Nimbus” could not be used casually. Silver Nimbus Outer Courtyard and Silver Nimbus Courtyard both represented the Yorks’ properties.However, Sky Corporation allowed it.It was said that Prince York found the name Silver Nimbus Enterprise excellent.This instantly stirred up a lot of rumors.Many speculated that the person Prince York fell in love with was Mandy Zimmer’s younger sister, who was still studying in high school.That was why he took such great care of his future sister-in-law.While many discussed this matter in secret, none of them dared to be obvious about it.After Mandy officially became the CEO of Silver Nimbus Enterprise, she
The man born with a silver spoon was named Eddie King, a senior in high school who was also the same age as Xynthia Zimmer.He was the typical delinquent. His family was extremely wealthy and he was already driving a Porsche 718 despite his age.He was the one that organized the gathering for the night. If it weren’t for him, the other students would not be able to spend their time here.A place like the Dorsett Empire KTV would cost thousands of dollars just for one night!Eddie’s goal for that night was simple, and that was to get Xynthia drunk and then take a few exhilarating pictures of her. The young girls at school were afraid of this.Once they were blackmailed with the pictures, they would be obedient little girls!Xynthia was wearing the clothes that her good friend gave, with a small sling bag and an extremely short skirt. That get-up showed her snowy white skin with her legs stuck together. Eddie was practically drooling while he looked at the sight.Xynthia was not u
"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
