Wendy was blushing as Harvey was staring straight at her. She was embarrassed. She was still very arrogant in front of Harvey last night and even despised him sitting next to her. However, she was the one standing here today, waiting for his order.

Harvey stared at her for a while. Although this old classmate of his seemed a bit cold, her nature was not that bad.

He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “I will not fire you for this matter. As for your promotion, show me how capable you are, then we’ll talk about it.”

He ignored her after saying this. He had just taken over the company and still had not figured out how the company operated. How could he waste time talking nonsense with Wendy?

Although Wendy was beautiful, Harvey had seen more beautiful women, at least his wife—Mandy was even prettier than her.

The president of York Enterprise had changed. All current investments were terminated. However, they had added 5 billion dollars to invest in high-quality projects.

The news was like thunder on the ground, spreading throughout Niumhi within a short time.

Everyone knew that this was a major reshuffle of the major family forces in Niumhi.

If any family could get York Enterprise to invest in their projects, it would grow rapidly and eventually become one of the top families in Niumhi!

The Zimmer family certainly would not remain indifferent. Senior Zimmer immediately held a family dinner and asked all family members to be present.

Mandy quickly called Harvey. She then asked him to go home and prepare to attend the dinner together.

Harvey hurried home. Meanwhile, Mandy was already sitting in her red Porsche, looking at the phone impatiently.

“Honey, I’m late.” Harvey trot all the way and came to Mandy.

Mandy wore a halter dress tonight, with a unique rose brooch on the chest.

“The Heart of Prague?” Harvey’s eyes slightly lit up. He knew where this thing came from. He never thought that she would like the thing he gave her so much that she could not wait to use it now.

However, Mandy was staring at Harvey unhappily. She said coldly, “If you continue to look at me like this, I’ll dig your eyes out…”

“Okay…okay…” Harvey was startled. He never expected that Mandy would discover him. Thus, he hurriedly diverted his gaze to another direction.

“Also, tonight is the family dinner. Just behave yourself. Don’t embarrass me.”

“Alright, I know.” Harvey got into the car. He then heard a yell from behind before he could put on his seat belt.

“Harvey, are you wearing torn clothes for the family dinner? Why do you reek of hot pot smell? Don’t tell me that you got these clothes from the garbage dump?” His mother-in-law—Lilian’s face became colder and colder. The more she looked at this live-in son-in-law, the more she disliked him.

Lilian wore a short evening gown, showing off her slender legs. She was mature and sexy, elegant and decent, generous and attractive.

Harvey’s styling was so horrible compared to her.

Nonetheless, Harvey did not want to argue with her. He just smiled and kept quiet.

Lilian was trembling with anger and said, “Are you stupid or deaf? You’re like a piece of trash! How did my daughter marry you in the first place? It’s a misfortune to the Zimmer family!”

“Mother, don’t be angry. You will ruin your makeup.” Mandy who was driving sighed and said. She had nothing to comment about Harvey’s appearance.

“Can I not be angry? I envy looking at other people’s son-in-law. Why is my son-in-law like this?” Lilian pointed at Harvey. “I’m telling you. Don’t think that it’s okay if you don’t speak. You will go get your divorce certificate with her early tomorrow morning. This is your compensation, understand?”

Lilian grabbed a handful of hundred-dollar bills from her handbag and threw them at Harvey’s face.

Harvey sat there, motionless as if he did not realize it.

Although Mandy felt sorry for him, she was still angry when she saw Harvey’s indifferent behavior. If only he could be a little smarter, she would not be this embarrassed.

Mandy suppressed her urge to drive Harvey out of the car.

At the gate of Zimmer Villa, dozens of cars have been parked there. All of them were famous luxury cars.

The hall was already full of people when they arrived.

Mandy’s younger sister—Xynthia had also arrived. However, she was wearing a school uniform today. It should have been too late for her to change after school.

Nevertheless, the school uniform brought out her unique youthful atmosphere. The sisters of the Zimmer family were the best-looking ones. Xynthia would also be incredibly pretty after she had grown up!

They sat down and other family members came to say hello. On this occasion, Harvey was like an invisible man. No one bothered to look at him.

He did not care. His status in the Zimmer family was just like that anyway. He was here tonight to join the fun. Thus, it was better to eat more than anything.

However, someone still wanted to give him a hard time. Xynthia sat next to him and said coldly, “Loser, do you know, starting from tomorrow, you’ll have to get out of the Zimmer family?”

    “Huh?” Harvey was stunned for a moment and forgot to swallow the steak in his mouth. Why did he not know when this was going to happen?Xynthia was even more disgusted when she saw Harvey gobbling. She said coldly, “I’m not afraid to tell you. Brother Don has officially proposed marriage to the Zimmer family. He will send the dowries tonight. If you are smart enough, just don’t do anything. If you aren’t…”Xynthia sneered when she said this. Although the Zimmer family ran a legitimate business, they still had a few bodyguards in the family. If this loser wanted to cause trouble, they would surely knock him down.“Well, everyone, keep quiet. Senior has something to announce!”At the top position, Senior Zimmer reached out his hand and knocked on the table. He anticipated and said, “You should all have heard about the news, right? Not sure why, but the president of York Enterprise has suddenly changed. The new president has terminated all the investments that have been negotiated bef

    Everyone looked over there. They then saw Don wearing a delicate suit with his hair nicely combed to the back. He looked handsome and smart. He was holding a gift box in his hand and walked in with a smile. “Let us welcome Mr. Xander with warm applause!” A young man shouted.All kinds of cheering were heard all of a sudden.It was obvious that a young talented man like Don was more recognized and welcomed by the Zimmer family compared to Harvey.Most importantly, he could help the Zimmer family!At this moment, the entire Zimmer family was looking at Don as if he was the God of Wealth!Don smiled and waved to the people around him. He looked like a star walking on the red carpet and also looked like a high-flyer.“Senior Zimmer, I’m sorry to bother you. I come here uninvited. However, I am a straight-up guy. So, I’ll speak up if I have something to say!”Don was smiling ambitiously. He said loudly, “I fell in love with Mandy at first sight, but unfortunately, she was married t

    Mandy who initially felt strange on the inside felt the warmth in her heart at this moment. An unexplained feeling surged in her heart.She already had a feeling that the roses were sent by Don yesterday. Since Don had admitted to it now, she was indeed right about it.She never thought that Don would do what he said. He had just talked about the Prague roses yesterday morning. Then, the roses were sent to her in the afternoon and with the Heart of Prague in it some more.This thing could not be found easily. Thus, he must have planned this for her a long time ago, right?Although Mandy knew that she could not agree to this marriage because she was a married woman, she was still very moved and shy.“Hey, did you guys see it? Harvey’s expression is so funny! He’s shocked! Hahaha!”Meanwhile, Zack stood up, pointed in the direction where Harvey was, and laughed.Many people saw Harvey’s expression and heckled him after hearing Zack’s words.Indeed, Harvey’s face was very dark at

    The entire Zimmer Villa was in silence at that moment. Almost everyone turned to look at Harvey in disbelief. That live-in son-in-law said everything in certainty. Could it be that he indeed knew who the new CEO who invested in York Enterprise was? Don did not even believe him. He smiled coldly and said, “Fine! Tell us! Who’s the new CEO in my enterprise?” Harvey stretched his hand out and pointed it at himself. He then said slowly, “The new CEO of York Enterprise is me.” Everyone was so shocked that they said nothing for a moment.But the next second...“You?” Don was stunned at first. He then held his belly and broke into a burst of laughter. Finally, he stopped laughing with much difficulty. He then looked at Senior Zimmer. “Senior Zimmer, I thought that your live-in son-in-law just likes to put on a show. But it surprised me to see him acting like a fool.” The moment he said that, Zack and the others broke into laughter too. They looked at Harvey just like they were l

    They were stunned and soon broke into a burst of laughter.Don sneered and laughed too. “Harvey, is this your evidence? Don’t you think it’s hilarious?”“Mr. Xander, why are you wasting your time talking to a fool? I don’t even believe anything he said!” At that moment, Zack could not endure it anymore. He stepped forward and snatched away Harvey’s old phone, and smashed it onto the floor. He then pointed at Harvey and scolded him, “You’re just a live-in son-in-law! Why are you always putting on a show? You even claimed that you’d got evidence! F*ck you!” “Get lost this instant! We’re disgusted by your very existence!”“How could we have such a person like you in our family…” “A good-for-nothing!” Everybody from the Zimmers took the initiative at that moment just because they felt that they had been humiliated deeply by Harvey. They certainly knew that Harvey couldn’t be the new CEO in York Enterprise, but they felt like Harvey was underestimating them in that instant.“

    Hearing what Don said, Senior Zimmer’s heart skipped a beat. ‘That’s right. If I let Harvey be with us still, the entire Zimmers would certainly be ruined by him.’“Senior Zimmer, it’s your party here tonight. It might be unfortunate if you took the initiative to beat him up. Let me help you give this insensible good-for-nothing a lesson!” Seeing that Don was about to beat Harvey up, Senior Zimmer had no intention to stop him.Besides, the others from the Zimmers were enjoying the scene too. They had long been disgusted by Harvey and were eager to see Don beating him up. Don smiled wickedly. He ran up a few steps, and he was about to swing a flying kick at Harvey’s face. He had gone to the gym to train himself up for a few years now. He even learned Taekwondo for a few years from a so-called private coach and gained a black belt. At that moment, his kick appeared quite ferocious and strong. “I remembered that Mr. Xander is an expert in Taekwondo with a black belt. It’s over

    ‘What?’Everyone was dumbfounded. ‘What’s happening?’ ‘That useless person just lifted his right hand slightly. Why did Don endure such a terrible fall?’‘Does that b*stard have such a skill?’ ‘Or is it true that every dog has its day?’ But most of them felt that Harvey was having some dumb luck, and Don was indeed unfortunate. Harvey just lifted his hand like that, and Don was thrown off terribly.“Harvey… just you wait and see…” Don was lying on the ground, shivering. He tried his best to get up. In that instant, he pointed at Harvey and scolded him vigorously, “I’ll ruin you! I’ll make you pay for it. Just you wait and see…” At that moment, everyone was fixing their eyes at Don, whose nose was bleeding. Then they turned to throw pitiful glances at Harvey. What kind of resources did that live-in son-in-law have? But Don was different. He was a middle-ranking employee in York Enterprise. If he had such an intention, it would certainly be relatively easy for him to ruin

    At the mention of Tyson Woods, everybody in the Zimmers drew in a cold breath. Who was Tyson? He was a famous person in Niumhi. A lot of people wanted to curry favor with him, but they were unable to do so. That future son-in-law—Don, was able to ask him to come over. Don was indeed quite an influential and powerful man.Even Senior Zimmer looked at Don approvingly. He was somewhat satisfied with that grandson-in-law. “You don’t want me to survive until tomorrow. Very well.” Harvey smiled. “I’m indeed curious. You’re about to lose everything, and you’re a useless person who will face bankruptcy soon. I wonder how you’re going to do that…” Someone burst into laughter. “Is he out of his mind? Mr. Xander is a rich youth. His one-million-cheque is still here. How could he say that Mr. Xander is going to lose everything and face bankruptcy? Does he even know what bankruptcy is?” “Oh! This live-in son-in-law always stays at home and is either watching TV or reading novels. He does

    Whoosh!Aya gave it her all, but Harvey simply swung his sword. But Harvey's seemingly underwhelming attack defended against Aya's explosive offensive. Aya did not choose to retreat after her attack failed. Her princess pride did not allow her to retreat simply.She took a deep breath and gave her 120%. Her power and speed were much faster when she attacked again. However, the moment the attack was going to fall, Aya shuddered. Because she noticed that Harvey's eyes had always been so cold from the very beginning…It was as if he had seen through life and death…It was as if he had seen through her life and death…Unspeakable despair grew in Aya's heart, and she felt that her sight began to be covered in darkness.

And then, he knelt on the ground as his body started to shake.He really wanted to defend the honor of the Islanders and his own honor. Of course, he also wanted to avenge Shingen. But… He wanted to live, too.When faced with the option of either death or kneeling, what other choices did he have other than to kneel?After the first one, there was a second one. In no time, all the Shinto Way elites threw their swords on the ground and knelt. When all the islanders saw what had happened, they all felt they were witnessing a funeral.They knelt.The Shinto Way, the leader of the Six Schools of Martial Arts, all knelt. The Island Nation's martial arts community knelt. The faces of those from the other schools or the Five Royal Families all became pale.They wanted to yell at the elites who were kneeling.

    Shingen's entire body froze at this moment in time. He could not understand why. He had already surrendered and was going to kneel. Why would Harvey be on guard? He had always used this scheme and ambushed plenty of elites.Why did it fail when used on Harvey?Shingen's throat was making some gurgling sound. He could not say anything, but he could not accept it."Do you know why I know you'll want to ambush?" Harvey wanted to crush Shingen's spirit. "That's because you have always been despicable. Whoever believes you… he's going to get it."Gah!After hearing Harvey's words, Shingen coughed one last mouthful of blood in regret, before falling to the ground. He would not make the same choices if he could relive his life. He could instigate anyone, but just not Harvey!Yvonne let out a sigh of relief after watching this scene.The worry in her heart had finally dissipated. All the Islanders still could not react to what had happened. They lost! How did Shingen, who had been on th

    Clang! Clang! Clang!Shingen laughed maddeningly after his two attacks worked; he kept on attacking again and again, each strike more powerful than the last. Just simple slashes were enough to make the winds blow within the venue, his strikes reaching heaven and earth.Facing such terrible attacks, Harvey had already given up on the small blade in his hand. He simply took one step back after another to avoid Shingen's attack.Shingen's every attack felt like he wanted to kill Harvey on the spot. But no matter how he attacked, no matter how powerful it was, he wasn't able to touch Harvey at all.Whoosh!It was another attack, but Shingen was faster. Harvey had already been forced to the edge of the stage. There was nowhere for him to run or dodge. Shingen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he had already foreseen how he would cut Harvey in half.Clang!At this final moment, Harvey suddenly sighed, disinterested. He raised his right hand and blocked Shingen's attack.

    Harvey and Shingen traded dozens or so blows as the people watched.Shingen started to get angry again when he realized that not only was he unable to stand on top of the battle, but he seemed to be suppressed by Harvey too.He clenched the hilt of the longsword and took a step back, his body floating in mid-air, then drew a circle. At this moment, murderous intent poured through from the sword; it was so dense it could reach the heaven above.Everyone could see that Shingen had been angered and was going to use his ultimate attack.Aya shook her head. "Harvey's doomed. This is Shinto Way's ultimate attack, the Nine Divine Slash. In our legends, even the gods that reside in the Island Nation had to take a step back when faced with the Nine Divine Slash, not to mention a mere man."All the elites from the Island Nation were shocked after hearing Aya's words. An elite from the Shinkage Way slapped his head. "That's right! The tomes in Shinkage Way have records of the Nine Divine S

    "Die!" Shingen yelled.The longsword in his hand called upon an endless sweep of cold wind as the onlookers watched. The winds all smashed into Harvey from all directions.Harvey, who was in the eye of the storm, was like an unprotected flower in the middle of a tempest. He could fall at any time.All the Islanders were filled with glee. To them, it was obvious the attack was invincible. It was unblockable. In other words, Harvey's ending had already been decided.Only Aya was frowning.Clang!As the storms finally crashed, Harvey extended his right hand as if he found this boring, and clawed at the storms and snow. At that instant, everything froze.Aya and other martial arts elites saw it clearly. Harvey raised his hand and caught Shingen's blade with his middle and index finger. "Interesting! This is so interesting! Even among the True Warriors, you must be one of the best! Only you have the right to make me use my full power!" Shingen said. While he seemed full of astonish

    "You? Beat me up? Ha!" Shingen's expression was full of disdain. He once again sprinted forward like a bolt of lightning. The air whistled as his right hand formed a claw and swiped at Harvey's chest.Harvey launched out his palm strike at the same time. Every time, he would counter Shingen's attack directly.Pfft!After about a dozen exchanges, Shingen suddenly changed his attacks and immediately tore Harvey's other sleeve. Harvey instinctively stepped to the side, as if he was scared of Shingen. "This is you being invincible? How laughable!" Shingen attacked relentlessly the moment he saw he was at an advantage. All his attacks were wide-area attacks, making sure that Harvey couldn't dodge or retreat. His hands were trained in a special technique, and after being genetically modified, they were as tough as steel. Bang! Bang! Bang!Harvey pushed back against all Shingen's attacks with his bare fists, without any intention of withdrawing. He would take all of Shingen's atta

    When Harvey saw the clawing motion, he calmly took a step forward and raised his left arm to stop Shingen's attack. He slammed his right hand into Shingen's chest. Shingen didn't expect Harvey would retaliate and trade blows with him. Someone like him would never accept that. At that instant, he changed the direction of his right hand and slammed Harvey's palm.Crack!Their two palms connected.There was a loud thunderclap and a burst of energy extended outward. Both sides instinctively took a few steps back. When Shingen landed on the stage, he left heavy foot sprints.Crack! Crack!The tiles on the stage were crushed.Shingen exhaled sharply after retreating dozens of steps. Only then did he finally discharge all the energy inside him. Harvey also took a few steps back. While he was retreating, he slammed his hand into the air, discharging the energy.While the way they discharged the energies was different, one could easily see that Harvey made it look easy.
