Simon Zimmer had froze after listening to the “friends” accusing him of such things, he stared at the gang of scoundrels in astonishment.“You all framed me! You planned this all along!” scolded Simon.“Did we force you? Did we even tell you to come?”“You were doing this on your own will from the beginning!”“Did we even do so much as to touch you from beginning till the end?”Simon went dead silent.Just as the scoundrels he called friends said, he willingly did everything. Nobody could force him.Only his greed was to blame!Mandy Zimmer had understood the situation, this was a thorough frame-up.She thought for a while and whispered to Harvey York, “Should we call the police?”“No, it’s no use. They might do something out of desperation!” Harvey reasoned calmly.Tiger Ray heard what the two were talking about and gave a cold chuckle.“You wanna call the cops? Sure! Do as you like!“All the money he owed and borrowed from other people, everything was written in black an
Finally, Harvey York and the others left the scene with Simon Zimmer.Lilian Yates trembled as they had gotten back to the entrance of the place and reprimanded Simon while on the verge of tears, “I told you to stop gambling, but you never listen to me!“Tell us, what are we even going to do now?!“Where are we even going to find fourteen million dollars?!”“Yeah!”Mandy Zimmer let out a huge sigh.“We’re only delaying them for now, is there anything that we can do other than paying them back?”Harvey let out a chuckle without saying anything.Simon was down at first, but he straightened his body and pointed at Harvey and screamed at him after he saw his expression.“What are you laughing at?!“Hurry up and think! You worthless sack of trash!“If I had a good son-in-law, this thing would be solved in minutes!“You! You’re just filth! You’re to blame for what happened today!”Harvey froze over after hearing what he said, he could not fathom how Simon even came close to this
Simon Zimmer had gotten back to his senses while he was in the middle of his explanation and then he loudly exclaimed, “I understand now. I’m being framed and my friends are involved with it!”Mandy Zimmer and Lilian Yates looked at each other, then nodded in unison.“This must be it!“There are only two ways of solving this problem…“Either we pay the money back!“Or we find out the person framing you and solve the problem completely!“But I suggest the latter for now. Let’s figure out the situation before we think about paying them back!”Harvey York suggested the idea.Simon then glared at Harvey full of vex in his eyes and then scolded him, “Are you serious? The man said that every day we stall, I’d get one of my fingers cut off!“Who do you think you are? Sherlock Holmes?!“You’re not paying the money, but instead you’re looking for the truth?!“By the time you’re done, all of my toes would be gone!”“Alright—alright—stop fighting. We’ll figure it out first thing in th
“I’ll give you one day to get the money, you know the consequences if you don’t already!“When that happens, I’ll have to invite the Zimmers to beg for food on the streets!“Hahaha…”Tiger Ray turned around and left with a smug expression, extremely full of himself.When the Zimmers all calmed themselves down, they were all almost driven mad.“Go… Find Simon Zimmer!”“Right, someone needs to take responsibility!”“Senior, beat this bastard to a pulp…”***On first light, Simon and Lilian Yates were just heading out the door while carrying dark circles around their eyes.Knock knock knock!At this moment, there were loud knocks on the door echoing inside.As soon as Simon opened the door, a throng of people immediately rushed in and filled the room.Senior Zimmer leading the crowd gave Simon a furious slap across his face.“You wastrel! What did you do this time?! Tell us!“I worked hard my entire life and finally got us into Buckwood!“After so many setbacks, so many ha
“Where’s Harvey?” Zack Zimmer immediately jumped up and said furiously.Simon Zimmer took this opportunity.“Can’t you see that he’s absent? He already ran away!”Senior Zimmer was trembling in anger.“Harvey York, you bastard. I’ll kill him!“Go! Find that bastard now!”A crowd of people furiously marched out of the hall.When the Zimmers had finally left, Simon Zimmer let out an exhale of relief.‘Thank goodness that I was smart. I would’ve been beaten to a pulp if I wasn’t.’“Thank goodness you’re also here, honey. They wouldn’t believe me if you weren’t,” Simon said nervously.“Why would I even say things like this if it weren’t for saving your sorry soul?“But the filth, Harvey isn’t all that useful anyway. He’ll be better off being a scapegoat!“Come on, let’s go find my sister and my brother-in-law and ask them for money…“The people will cut off your finger if we don’t give them the money soon!”Lilian Yates let out a sigh.Simon did not waste more time to speak
At the same time, Harvey York had already started his investigation.He inquired information from the connections he had with some gangsters and was basically sure that Simon Zimmer was not cheating from the beginning, him winning a lot at the start was purely luck and it was not even intentional.He had only lost money later only because he met a skilled player in the said game.It was safe to assume that the incident had been plotted by an outsider, but everything was flawless, he could not find anything off about the situation.Of course, it would be much easier for the police to find out what actually took place if they were called.But if that were to happen, then Simon Zimmer would have to live behind bars for quite a while.If that were the case, Mandy Zimmer would be heartbroken.And Harvey definitely did not want to see her that way.In all honesty, it was only fourteen million dollars. With his worth, it would be a matter of minutes before the money could be paid back
On the other side, Tiger Ray enigmatically hung up on the phone, then stood up and respectfully dialed a phone number that had a nice ring on the tail numbers.“Lord York, everything is proceeding just as you planned. The Zimmers are going to use Harvey York to take responsibility!”“Good, then continue as planned. Remember, Harvey is a handful to deal with. Please exercise caution!”“Of course!”Tiger Ray hung up the phone and started to rub his palms together in anticipation.***At the Silver Nimbus Courtyard.Wayne York hung up the phone and his cold expression showed on his face.Stephen York was sitting in front of him, laughed and asked, “This is such a simple trick, it’s extremely flawed. Do you think that Big Brother will actually fall for it?“And don’t you realize the person that he is? How could it be that he’d let someone cut off his finger obediently?”Wayne calmly replied, “I do know that it’s impossible in normal circumstances.“What kind of man is Tiger Ray
Harvey York froze.He was shocked beyond belief.He was still figuring out a way to solve the problem and to find out who was the culprit.But he did not think that Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were this heartless to make him into the scapegoat this quickly!If it weren’t for Mandy Zimmer, he would not be the least bit interested in this matter.If it weren’t for her, he would have already snapped.But for Simon and Lilian, this was a desperate measure for desperate times.If they didn’t shift the blame to Harvey, they would have been finished!Even so, they did not think about what to do just yet.“What are you people still waiting for?! Admit to your mistakes! Then take responsibility for all of them!” Senior Zimmer said coldly.At this moment, Tiger Ray had just walked in with his men into the casino, surrounding the Zimmers in no time.“He’s here. Please do what you must with him!”Before Harvey could even react, Simon and Lilian had already pushed him out.“You’re Ha
"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
