Elric frowned before replying slowly, "After interacting with Harvey again and again, we have all suffered all kinds of losses. Even someone like Emery unexpectedly failed when he got caught by surprise. Everything tells us that Harvey isn't someone we can easily dispatch."Since that's the case, we need to plan properly and carefully if we want to get rid of him. There's no need to rush…"Pamela said coldly, "Once Hector's funeral is complete, many things within the Thompson family will be decided. After all that, it's pointless even if we can kill him a hundred times. Only by killing him before the funeral will I have the chance to become the leader of the family. Even if I can't, it will only be beneficial for us if we can give his head to the new leader as an introductory gift. We need to put in more effort, old man."Elric frowned slightly as he narrowed his eyes. "Well… There might be a chance, but…"After giving it a thought, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Jo
Twelve o'clock the following day. Harvey followed the GPS and arrived at a simple cafe.Aside from selling coffee and tea, the cafe also served all kinds of delicacies in Wolsing. It also proved that whoever chose this place had taste.Harvey looked around the café and walked to the center. The entire cafe was empty, with only one table being seated at the center.Elric was there, and next to him was an old man in a martial arts robe. He looked quite impressive and could take a beating or two. Harvey didn't know who the old man was, but he was most likely a martial arts elite.After Harvey had slapped Elric last time, Elric probably learned from his experience and had to make some preparations when seeing Harvey. Unfortunately, such preparation was pointless. If Harvey wanted to, he could slap Elric as many times as he wanted.Harvey thought of Journi, and nodded at Elric. "Hello, Mr. Stanton. We met again. Journi had already told me about it. She didn't ask me to take the offer
The corner of Elric's eye twitched a little when he heard Harvey analyze things in just a few sentences and insinuate what he wanted. Harvey was indeed no simple man. Elric made the right choice not to fight him until the end.He didn't know if he could fully defeat Harvey once he chose to go against Harvey until the end. He might be the one who ended up losing everything he had. From the way Harvey acted, if he did anything against Harvey and the latter had evidence of it, things wouldn't end well for him.When the thought crossed his mind, Elric suddenly had a desire to completely eradicate Havery.Elric took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey and said, "Before we get down to business, I have to admit that young men like you are very rare nowadays. Not only did you do things cleanly, but you also have the skills and physical ability to do so. Despite your youth, you have already reached a height no lower than us old folks. I admi
Harvey stated his demand without hesitation.Elric's face darkened immediately. He slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What do you mean, Harvey? I'm telling you, it's rare for me to speak so good-naturedly with anyone else. If you're still stubborn, you'll have to bear all responsibility for what comes next!"Harvey smashed the cup in his hand in response, and tossed the pieces toward Elric. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Stanton. Your threats are pointless to me. And so, I will gladly bear that responsibility."Just as Elric was going to rage on, the old man next to him suddenly raised his head and slammed his hand on the table. A deep handprint appeared on the wooden table. He stared at Harvey and snarled coldly, "Watch your mouth!"I've been sitting here for so long, and I finally have a basic understanding of you. In short, you're someone who likes to dance between the borders of life and death. Mr. Elric Stanton is the man who created Country H Commercial Group. He's someone well
Harvey was speechless when he heard of the identity of the so-called Mr. Lee. Why were all the people like this from Longmen? Since he had already retired, wasn't it better for him to just retire in peace instead of running around and interfering in things like this?When Mr. Lee saw the stupefied look on Harvey's face, he thought Harvey was shocked by the Longmen Association's reputation. He faked a cough, and put his hands behind his back. "Do you know the meaning of fear now, young man? I've seen plenty of talented young men in this world, but none had acted so arrogantly like you."Have you heard about the scion of the Longmen Association? He is a true prodigy, but even someone like him had to treat himself as a junior before me. Think about it… Do you really think you can act in such an arrogant manner before me?"Mr. Lee smiled haughtily, as if his status was that high and mighty.Elric reminded Harvey, "Maybe you've never heard of the scion of the Longmen Association, bu
At Zimmer’s Villa in Niumhi. It was beaming with lights. That night was Senior Zimmer’s seventieth birthday party, and it was filled with numerous guests. All of his children and grandchildren presented him with gifts and said in unison, “We wish that Senior Zimmer is always blessed with good health and long life.” Senior Zimmer appeared quite rosy and energetic as he sat on his chair. He replied, “Good. All of you are indeed quite obedient. I’m very happy today, so I’ll grant each and everyone of you a wish! Just tell me what you want.” “Grandpa, I want an apartment near the ocean. It’s not expensive and it’s only over a million dollars…” “Grandpa, I want a Chanel limited edition bag…” “Grandpa, I want a BMW sports car…” “Grandpa, I want a Rolex watch…” “...” “Fine. I’ll grant every one of your wishes!” Senior Zimmer gave them his promise without any hesitation. The young children who asked for the gifts were overjoyed. They nearly kneeled down on the floor in gratitude. Lo
“It’s a message from the Yorks.” Harvey frowned slightly. The Yorks was the most influential family in South Light. At first, Harvey had been the rightful heir. But three years ago, somebody in the family wrongly accused him and claimed that he had embezzled the company’s funds. Therefore, his identity as their heir was eliminated.The entire York family had the same opinion and Harvey was disowned instantly. Furthermore, his parents were directly sent abroad and he had never met them since. “Bullsh*t! The truth is I have nothing but only twenty dollars in my pocket. The family needs financial support. What's the point of looking for me?”As he was thinking about that, he received another message on his phone. “Sir, I’m begging you now. Please help us! Didn’t you purchase some stocks of a gold mine three years ago? Recently, someone found that there’s a great amount of gold in that gold mine. Now, the stock price of that gold mine has increased tremendously!”“Now, the company’s fu
Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road. However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?” “My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing. Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zi
