In Buckwood Hotel.Although this place was not famous, it was not opened to the public. Instead, it was just a place used to entertain foreign guests and investors.This was where Grandma Yates’ birthday banquet was hosted.With this, we could also see the Yatese’ status in Buckwood.Today, the roads in this place were blocked by the police. Many of them were patrolling the surrounding area.Except for those with the invitation cards, no one else was permitted to access this area.It was said that even the waiters engaging in the internal services were specially and carefully selected. This was sufficient to further illustrate the influence of the Yates family in Buckwood.Luxury cars entered the hotel’s parking lot one after another. Those who exited these cars at the front of the hotel were all big shots from Buckwood’s elites.There were several figures from the business circles, as well. After all, the Yateses were an aristocratic family.Among these people, the Zimmer fam
“Father, we’re here to attend the birthday banquet. We have an invitation card.” Simon Zimmer said, gritting his teeth slightly.Simon couldn’t be sure whether Harvey was telling the truth, but he couldn't back down right now!“Oh? You have an invitation card?” Zack Zimmer laughed. “Then show it to us!” “This…”Simon automatically glanced at Harvey York.“Harvey said…”“What did he say?” Zack smiled.“Could it be that he told you he asked someone to send the invitation card here and let you come over?”“Yes.” Simon replied.“Pfft! Hahaha…”In the next second, the Zimmers roared with laughter. How could Simon and his family believe in Harvey’s clumsy lie?This was so funny!Senior Zimmer looked at Simon and said, “You’re still so stupid. I shouldn’t have brought your family to Buckwood back then. I truly feel ashamed!”It was apparent that Senior Zimmer had forgotten why the Zimmer family was able to come to Buckwood in the first placeFeeling the mocking gazes and merc
“Mr. York, Mrs. Zimmer, you’re both here. This is your invitation, please keep it well.”Yvonne Xavier handed the invitation to Harvey York respectfully. Then, she turned around and left.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were shocked beyond belief.‘Someone actually did send an invitation!’The Zimmers were also dumbstruck by this turn of events. Harvey York was not boasting, someone really did turn up to give an invitation!And the person was none other than Yvonne Xavier of Sky Corporation!What an honor!While Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates were still numb with shock, their family was respectfully invited into the banquet.The banquet was extremely crowded, and the spacious hall was flooded by people.Mandy Zimmer paid no attention to the full hall. Instead, she turned to flash Harvey a stern look. “Harvey, listen to me!”“Huh? Aren’t we already inside?”Harvey York was perplexed.‘We’re already in, what’s the problem now?’Mandy Zimmer told him seriously, “It’s true Miss
“Mother, brother!”Lilian was holding back her tears of joy. Finally, after being away from her family for so long, she was able to return to them!Simon was excited as well. He wanted to greet the family.His eyes lit up even more brightly after seeing Keith Yates.If he could be acquainted with this man, then his status in the Zimmers’ family would be solidified in the future.But before he could even utter a single word, Keith Yates simply nodded his head curtly.Grandma Yates, for her part, let out a cold harrumph. She glanced briefly at Mandy and her family, and then closed her eyes.Simon and Lilian were shocked.This was the best example of a cold shoulder!Embarrassing! Truly embarrassing!Keith Yates’ manners were still tolerable in Lilian Yates’ eyes.Naturally, her brother had barely accepted herself as family. As for her own mother, the old woman still needed a lot more time.If it weren’t for the fact that today was Grandma Yates’s birthday banquet, the old wom
At Harvey’s words, everyone flashed him looks of disgust.Especially Lilian, whose face was now as dark as night.She understood the kind of person that her mother was.Back when Lilian married Simon, he was still an ambitious man. Even then, Grandma Yates wanted to choke Lilian to death for her choice.Now that Mandy Zimmer’s husband said something that shameless, there was no way to make Grandma Yates look up to the family again.As predicted, Grandma Yates exhaled quietly, then spun on her heels and left. She didn’t even bat an eye at Mandy Zimmer’s family as she went away.Keith Yates glared at Harvey York coldly, then turned around and left as well.Since Mandy Zimmer was very capable in the eyes of the Yateses, they could accept her as a relative.But as she had married a man like Harvey, the whole family had to reconsider if they should actually accept her.“It’s fine, brother-in-law. Grandma Yates usually has a bad temper. It’ll be fine after a while,” Xynthia Zimmer t
After a long while, Simon stood up shakily and put his hands around Lilian. “Honey, don’t cry. We don’t even know what’s inside yet, what if it’s something good?!”“Something good? How can it possibly be good?!”Lilian's face had lost all color.“I only hope that it’s some sort of crystal or antique! If it’s something ordinary…”Lilian was on the verge of passing out again as she spoke..There was finally a chance to reconcile with Grandma Yates after all these years. If this filth Harvey York actually caused her to lose it, she might actually die of anger!Soon, the birthday banquet was about to begin.However, most of the VIP guests who were supposed to attend had not arrived yet.These people were all basically big shots of South Light and Buckwood’s government.Keith Yates may be the third-in-command of South Light and has a very high status in the government, but it was the big shots who held the real power. Their authority was not inferior to his.When the others paid
While everyone was gossiping about, several men in uniforms strode gracefully into the banquet hall.A young man led them. He looked around about twenty-seven or eight years, but carried the grace of an elite.This was Keith’s son and Mandy’s cousin, Finn Yates.He was a captain-level inspector at Buckwood Police Station, and thus possessed a degree of authority in Buckwood.He entered the hall, followed by his men, looking exhilarated.“Grandmother, father. Let me introduce you, this is the second-in-command of Buckwood Police Station, Deputy Inspector Greg Finch. This is the third-in-command, Kevin Caulfield…”Finn introduced seven to eight Buckwood Police Station higher ups. These figures were all one or two levels above him.However, the chief inspector was not present.These higher ups all respected Finn Yates.Under Finn’s lead, every one of them presented their gifts and congratulated Grandma Yates.“We wish Grandma Yates fortune that spread across the seas and a life
The reality was, Simon and Lilian had the lowest ranking out of everyone in the Yates family.Needless to say, Keith Yates was South Light’s third-in-command. He had a high status and immense power.His son was about to be the deputy inspector of Buckwood Police Station, a young and promising man.As for Tanya Yates, she was establishing her own business. Although it wasn’t anything major, she would earn thousands of dollars per year.Leyton Luv, on the other hand, was the vice president of Buckwood Bank. He, too, had immense power and high status. In fact, countless people constantly sought his help.Compared to them all, Simon and Lilian were nothing. They were but a bunch of clowns.Mandy Zimmer was able to make a good impression before, but she ultimately failed because of Harvey York.Right now, Simon and Lilian were ashamed beyond belief.Suddenly, sounds rang from outside the hall door.A few middle-aged men walked in with big steps. The man at the very front wore a smi
"While Country H is said to have existed for so many years, the people can be quite narrow-minded. They'll act all arrogant because they have a bit of talent. Not only that, but they also refuse to accept the rest of the civilized world. There's no need to get angry with these people," Juliana said to Hawk's men, her tone filled with concern."All of them say they love their country, but the truth is that they'll leave for greener pastures as soon as opportunities present themselves. Despite agreeing with your values, I'm still part of this country. I wish I could really be part of you!" Juliana said, envy and disappointment on her face.Hawk and the others smiled when they saw Juliana's attitude. If most of the people from Country H acted like this, their cultural victory would be assured. At this point, all of them smiled widely and abandoned whatever upset feelings they had from just now.-About ten minutes later, Harvey took Alexei back to the Dragon Gate Training Hall. Va
When Juliana and the others saw Harvey and Alexei leave, all of them could only grit their teeth in anger despite being genuinely surprised. They didn't expect Harvey's call to be enough to remove Hawk's status as a Knight Templar with one call. His quick action had humiliated Hawk and his men.Normally speaking, they would never believe that Harvey would be able to do such a thing. They didn't expect that reality could be so cruel to the point that it was choking them. Harvey was so influential that they found themselves struggling to breathe."Calm down, Hawk. Don't feel down. I don't think that what happened is real," Juliana said as she subconsciously consoled Hawk. "His reputation is built on boasts. He doesn't understand just how powerful your culture is! There's no way he can affect the powerful Knights Templar."I suspect he's working with someone else and got a fake number, so that he could intimidate and trick you! In other words, you can't let this confuse you! Even i
Harvey narrowed his eyes and said calmly to Hawk, "If you're really that powerful, you won't be wearing that expression when you see me."The so-called top from their side would not only treat him with respect, but they would also get the hell out of there as fast as possible.However, Hawk didn't understand what Harvey was trying to convey. He smiled coldly and said, "You don't understand what the Knight Templars mean, do you? Before this name, even dragons and beasts must fall! And when it comes to someone like you… The moment I showed you my identity, you won't even have the privilege to bend your knee!"Harvey refuted calmly, "If you're really that influential, won't it humiliate you completely if I can make you bend your knee with one call?"Hawk's expression turned brutal. "Oh? You're going to make a move? Come on, then! Show me just how good you really are!"Harvey nodded and pulled out his phone as he looked at Hawk. "Since you asked for it, I guess I have no choice but
Harvey scoffed. He couldn't be bothered by wasting his breath speaking to someone like Juliana, who obviously had been hit on the head. Instead, he turned to Alexei. "I'm leaving now. You either leave with me, or you can stay here and be a simp. But remember—if you stay as her simp, don't appear in front of me again. A man who has no pride and a backbone doesn't have the right to stand in front of me."Hearing that, there was a hint of hesitation on Alexei's face.When Juliana saw that Harvey didn't agree to her demand and even changed the subject, she smiled coldly. "If you have a death wish, then I'll grant it to you. I won't pull my punches from here on out. And you, Alexei. You can try and leave with him… As long as you can bear the consequences of that!"Alexei's expression was filled with even more hesitation. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left together with Harvey.Juliana's smile turned icy when she saw what had happened. "Good, Alexei! You'll regret this! From n
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! My entire fault! I shouldn't have forced you!" Alexei said, lowering his head dejectedly. Seeing this, Juliana walked over and extended her hand, raising Alexei's chin. She said coldly, "It's good that you know you're making a mistake. Now, Hawk and I will need to get some rest at the hotel. We'll also be going to a charity ball later. Since we're very busy, we don't have the time to pay for our meal. Remember to pay for it and our presidential suite as well. Understand?"While Juliana looked down at Alexei, she didn't mind making Alexei pay for everything. From her perspective, it was a matter of course.When Alexei heard it, he still nodded despite the dark expression on his face.He wanted to take his wallet out, but Harvey quickly stopped Alexei and took his wallet instead. "If you have the money for a woman, why don't you come with me and eat something at the nearby stall? Don't waste your life and time on a woman like this."Harvey dragged A
After Alexei heard what Harvey had to say, his expression was filled with hesitation. It was obvious that he did have feelings for Juliana. However, there was also fear. He didn't know what he should do.He was afraid that Juliana might really abandon him. At the same time, he was really afraid that Juliana was cheating. Alexei felt like he was stuck between a rock and a hard place."Alexei? Why are you here?" At this time, a cold and arrogant voice could be heard. "Are you here to ambush me? So that you can annoy me?"Harvey instinctively turned around and saw Juliana and Hawk walking out from the restaurant hand-in-hand like a wealthy couple. Behind them were their secretaries, lawyers, and bodyguards. They looked like important people; on the other hand, Alexei looked like a beggar by the street.Alexei quickly ran over, forcing himself to smile despite being upset. "I heard you're back, Juliana, so I came over to pick you up. You must be tired now. I've arranged for a pre
"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
