Chapter 694
The deafening sounds of the propellers almost blew everyone away.A brief moment later, the crowd soon realized that there were armed military helicopters pointing white lights down at them.“Why would the military suddenly appear out of nowhere?”Everyone shared perplexed stares. Even Yonathan York was frowning slightly.With the connections and relationships he had in the military, how could a scene like this possibly occur?A short moment later, dozens of armed soldiers without symbols of their titles descended from the helicopters with ropes.The man that led them seemed to be very young. He swiftly walked toward Tobias Baker and bowed.“Mr. Baker, a batch of wounded soldiers were sent back from the Central America battlefield. Every single one of them is facing severe casualties. I’ve received orders to request you to operate on them as soon as possible. Please understand!”After he was finished talking, he did not waste another second and took Tobias Baker away.Immediat

“Sir, with your connections, how could a few foot soldiers take away someone from you?”Quinton York could not believe what he had heard.Yonathan York frowned. “That’s right. Normally speaking, no military force in South Light would dare to even offend me, but somebody actually made their move on us this time…”“Since he’s using new recruits, obviously he didn’t want to expose his identity.”Quinton York began to speculate.“Perhaps the military started having some qualms about us since Ethan Hunt is on our side now?”“Is some major family trying to oppose us?”“Or maybe, it’s that man…”Yonathan York frowned again. “There’s no evidence of anything right now. The thing is, their dignified excuse was that there were wounded soldiers who just came back to South Light from war, and that they needed to be operated…”“I’ve gotten news of what happened. There was indeed a conflict on a smaller scale. A couple dozen people from the neighbouring country died, and there were only a fe

The time until Grandma York’s birthday banquet was inching closer and closer. All of Buckwood was bathed in a joyous mood, as if the day was a public holiday.Almost all of Buckwood knew.The Yorks’ had incredibly high status in Buckwood, and were truly Buckwood’s top family.All the first-rated families in Buckwood agreed that an invitation to the Yorks’ birthday banquet was a big honor.Many people took pictures of their invitations immediately after they had gotten theirs, to show off their status and ranking.This showed the value and importance of Grandma York’s birthday banquet that the Yorks held up to. The publicity even did their part to prove that.Right before the day of the banquet, Xynthia Zimmer reluctantly brought home the invitations to the banquet.She had to spend a long time begging her godparents for them.Mandy Zimmer, on the other hand, was worried sick because of what had happened with Wayne York.She dared not attend Grandma York’s birthday, no matter w

Everyone was waiting in the living room while the celebration was still being prepared.There were champagne towers and western buffets free for them to enjoy.Harvey York and Xynthia Zimmer soon found some seats and sat down. “Harvey… Harvey York, is that you?”A voice called behind him.Harvey York turned around and saw a cold beauty approaching him.A few months had passed, but the aura between her eyes hadn’t changed one bit.Her teary eyes stared right at Harvey York. She was quite excited, and was barely holding back her emotions.The woman was from one of Buckwood’s top-rated families, Rosalie Naiswell of the Naiswell family.The two had interacted quite a bit during their time in Niumhi. Harvey York even gave her a ride before her departure from Niumhi.But after leaving Niumhi, the two hadn’t met for nearly three whole months.Even after arriving at Buckwood, Harvey York had been extremely busy. He did not have any intention of seeing her at the moment.“How could
Chapter 698
Harvey York didn’t even flinch when facing the man’s ridicule.In his eyes, this clown had no meaning. Naturally, he wouldn’t care.Compared to the Yorks, this man was less than a speck of dust.After seeing Harvey York’s attitude, Rosalie had a slight change of mind.Three months ago, he seemed so full of spirit to her; a man who could reject her own invitation.How could he have possibly turned into someone who would simply swallow humiliation? Could a three month period change a man so easily?After taking a deep breath, Rosalie Naiswell reverted back to her icy demeanor.She glared at the man and snapped coldly, “Bruce Cloude. Whoever I date and befriend does not concern you now, does it?”“If you’re willfully insulting my friend again, don’t blame me for being hard on you!”Rosalie Naiswell spoke with the full aura and manner of a cold beauty.Bruce Cloude was her pursuer, after all. After her chiding, he did not speak another word. However, he grew to despise Harvey
Chapter 699
Seeing Harvey York humiliated by two people who came out of nowhere, Xynthia Zimmer grew somewhat angry.She pulled on Harvey’s arm and snarled coldly, “The two of you who came out of nowhere!”“You’re just a bunch of shortsighted people!”“My brother-in-law is awesome! Especially compared to a wretched man like you!”“You think he’s scared of you?! He just doesn’t care about you!”“Because you’re just an ant to him!”In truth, Xynthia Zimmer had no clue of Harvey’s real identity.But a man who could buy her a property that cost a few hundred million dollars without batting an eye, a man who could purchase the Spinning Restaurant in Buckwood Tower, was not someone who could be provoked so easily by a clown like Bruce Cloude.“Oh, Harvey! What a cute sister-in-law you have!”Bruce Cloude wasn’t even perturbed. Instead, he gave them a scornful grin.“I’m an ant? Alright, I’ll admit it. In front of a man like Prince York, I am just an ant.”“But I, Bruce Cloude, am from the Clo

Rosalie Naiswell was a bit disappointed in Harvey York, but she did not immediately expose him. Instead, she exclaimed icily, “Harvey York. I did not believe in you before, but you had proved with your own strength that you were capable.”“Now, I want to see if you can do the same. Prove that you are right, and that you are actually capable!”Bruce Cloude chuckled coldly.“Since Rosalie wants this, I’ll be counting on it as well.”“Once you’ve taken over the Yorks, I’ll make sure to be your security team leader. Please give me a chance to do so when that happens, CEO York!”Harvey York actually treated that as an actual promise.He sized up Bruce Cloude for a while. “Right, a scrawny body like yours doesn’t look like you’ll be fit as the security team leader. But since I’ve already promised you, I’ll make sure you get the position.”“Make sure to get to the office on time.”At that, Bruce Cloude could not hold himself back anymore.He no longer had the intention to make fun of
Chapter 701
Everyone looked at Joel Flynn weirdly after hearing his words.While he had proven the worth of the antique watch, it was still a dead man’s treasure.Not far behind, Harvey York’s expressions turned as cold as a raging blizzard.Xynthia Zimmer and Rosalie Naiswell subconsciously glanced at Harvey York.They both felt an undisguised aura of murderous intent in his gaze.Joel Flynn and Bruce Cloude, on the other hand, did not even put Harvey York in their eyes. None of them took notice of it.Right then, Harvey York’s heart was filled with the intent to kill.Not only did his good friend’s belongings get split between people, someone even prepared one as a gift to another person!Joel Flynn waved a hand, and his underlings carefully carried a safe box over.Rosalie Naiswell went over and gave a few glances at what was inside. She then quietly said, “That’s right, this is indeed the antique Patek Philippe watch.”Joel Flynn smiled after receiving her approval.“Right. If so, I
