Finn frowned slightly. He studied Zack and scoffed.“Aren’t you Zack Zimmer? When did you become someone else’s subordinate?”Zack’s eyes turned cold as ice, but he did not reply.Before Finn managed to speak another word, Keith raised his hand. “Zack Zimmer, you should know who I am! Go tell your Master Jean that I’m here today for an important matter!”Zack replied, “My master said that if you offend the Jean family, would you still keep your job?”“Keith Yates! The Yateses are only able to rise from a second-rate family into a first-rate family because of your position!”“If your position is no more, then you should know better than me how your family will end up!”Keith’s face instantly turned as dark as night after hearing Zack’s words.But he knew Zack was not bluffing.If the Jean family willed it, it would be easier for them to remove Keith from his position than eating and drinking.His career had quite a few ups and downs for many years. He did not rely on anything
Harvey said icily, “Are you going to suggest I don’t save my wife?”Oskar shook his head.“No way!”“But the first-in-command South Light’s military is transferring defenses. People in and out of the country have been keeping a close eye at Buckwood.”“Under these circumstances, it’d be bad for us to make any big moves. If you expose your identity now, you might even harm your wife in the future.”“When that time comes, it might not just be the Jean family, but also other external authorities..”“That’s why we should handle today’s affair discreetly and peacefully.”“It’s not wise to pick a fight.”Harvey replied, “So what you mean by that is…”“I heard there’s a man titled the king of the streets in South Light. His name is Ryan Gotti. He was a subordinate for the Jean family. Make him show up and tell Grey Jean to send back your wife and apologize. How’s that sound?” Oskar asked.Harvey pondered deeply.“Right. I’ll try it for your sake.”“If Grey Jean sends my wife back
Grey was shocked by the sight.“Sir Gotti, why are you doing this?”Ryan’s legs went limp as he knelt on the floor. He dared not look at Mandy at the moment. He spoke, trembling, “Master Jean, I’m here to ask you for a favor. For the sake of our past relationship, I want you to accept whatever I ask of you, no matter what!”“What is it? I’ll do my best.”Grey still thought that Ryan was the king of South Light’s streets. Thus, he would not give up an opportunity to do Ryan a favor.Zack and Quinn stared curiously at Ryan as well.How could a legendary man like him fear anything?Ryan replied, still trembling, “Master Jean, someone asked me to send word.”“He told you to send Mandy Zimmer back, then grovel and apologize there.”“And he wants you to chop off the hands of those who attacked Mandy and her parents!”“What?! How presumptuous! Don’t they know that we’re the Jean family from Mordu?!”Zack jumped in anger.Quinn added coldly, “Don’t think that you can just spout out
“Sir Gotti, please pass this message for me.”“Even if that person was King, if he doesn’t kneel and apologize to me…”“I want him to die without a burial place!”Grey exclaimed, laughing profusely. He approached Mandy and slapped her.“Is this the so-called people who you said could bring me trouble?”“I don’t know what kind of man he is, but I’ll still make him kneel before me and watch as I toy with you!”Blood started seeping out of the corner of Mandy’s lips, but her expression remained ice cold.Seeing what Grey had done, Ryan trembled in fear.Grey Jean was looking to die!He still dared to hit that fiend’s woman!Ryan could only hurriedly exclaim, “Master Jean, I understand already. Please stop hitting her! I’ll retract my words immediately!”He swiftly crawled away after he was done speaking.His heart was shrouded in complete fear. If that man knew that his woman was in this state and started to retaliate…Imagining the consequences, even the previous king of Sou
Guards were scattered outside the manor.The guards in charge of guarding the front door felt that something was wrong.Quite a lot of people normally go in and out of the area, but it was now suddenly dead silent.Then, they spotted Ryan’s appearance.A few men followed behind Ryan.“Please go back, Senior Gotti. Master Jean just gave the order. He said you’re a fart in the wind and you have no right to see him anymore!”Before Ryan left, Grey sent someone to investigate.He found out that the streets of South Light had changed entirely in the past few days.Ryan was only an ordinary old man, no longer king of the streets.How could a man such as him be worthy of meeting Grey?Grey thought that he already paid Ryan enough respect by not beating the old man up.The guards shot Ryan looks of disdain.How could an old man with no authority show off in front of Master Jean?Was he courting death?Ryan was perplexed. He guessed what had happened and said, “It’s not that I wan
Soldiers in camp uniforms, with swords hanging on their waist, marched out of the armored vehicles. They looked as though they were about to go to war, their eyes as sharp as a hawk’s.A simple gaze from them could scare away everyone.Almost a thousand Sword Camp soldiers were hiding in the shadows. Some had already sealed off Manor Nine’s backdoor, while some retreated hundreds of miles away to monitor the situation from afar.Every step was methodical, as if doing this was their natural instinct.Hundreds of men formed a few rows and started to march forward.The leader of guards, who had been extremely arrogant, was now dumbfounded.He had a bit of knowledge and realized who these men were.This was one of Country H’s strongest armies, the Sword Camp!He dared not utter any nonsense anymore. His knees went limp, and he swiftly kneeled to the ground.Slam, slam, slam!The other guards immediately followed suit. They threw away their weapons and put their hands behind their
Grey chuckled coldly.“Who dares to cause a ruckus in the Jean family’s turf?”“Even the first-in-command of South Light, Sheldon Xavier has to be respectful coming here!”“These are rules made by the Jean family!”“Previously there were some disobedient people, but they all ended up fed to the fishes!”“Honestly, I did hope someone would come and provoke the Jean family. If not, the trip to Buckwood this time would be uninteresting, wouldn’t it?”Quinn looked at Grey and felt admiration in her heart.‘This is a true super rich heir! A true playboy!’‘Which so-called rich heir from Buckwood would dare to say something like this?’Quinn felt like she was falling in love with Grey, regardless of her identity.In the corner, Mandy was shaking slightly due to the abuse she was forced to endure.Boom!Suddenly, the door of the attic hallway was kicked to the ground.The next moment, a dozen soldiers immediately rushed inside. They swiftly stormed the room and placed it under th
Grey had seen how the world worked, after all. Despite his whole body sweating, cold sweat drenching his back, he still gritted his teeth and demanded, “You…who are you?!”“Who am I?”Harvey York’s expression was as cold as ice.“I’m Mandy’s husband. At the same time, I’m the Prince York that you talk so lowly about.”“Didn’t you want me to die without a burial place?”“What?!”Grey shook to no end when he heard Harvey’s words.‘Mandy Zimmer’s live-in husband is actually Prince York himself?’‘This…this…this, how could this be?’Quinn finally got back to her senses.She was sluggish as a forced smile came on her lips.Now, she finally understood.Why only Mandy was acknowledged by Sky Corporation.Why Prince York’s target of proposal was a woman that was already married.Harvey York was Prince York!Everything he said was true!However, the Zimmers never believed him!If the Zimmers knew his actual identity, would they even land in where they were now had they treated
