The party hall instantly became silent due to Iris' statement. Everyone needed time to digest what she meant. But even when they understood, they could not say anything in shock.The members of The Orchid Combine were present at this party, so no one predicted that Iris would take such a crazy action. They had already heard rumors Warrick had something to do with the embezzlement case.Back then, all they could think was that he was trying to annoy Iris, and she would take care of it. They were upset to find out the two of them had ended up in an alliance."Have you lost your mind?!" Cassius finally got over his shock. He glared at Warrick, who was grinning at him from the stage. "Are you really siding with this lunatic?""You and I are both crazy, so it doesn't matter who she chooses," Warrick replied, making everyone gasp in shock."How dare you equate yourself with me!""Ah, right. You're lower than me. Please forgive my mistake."People started whispering about Warrick's actions.

Warrick brought the Nerelart family to the alliance base that Hugo had provided. The other alliance members were waiting there after he had informed them earlier.The Nerelarts walked into the wooden house while looking around. Some of them were uncomfortable as they realized they were in the middle of the forest."No wild animals," Warrick said as if reading their minds. "If there are, I have people to deal with them."Hugo, who walked at the back, added, "This area is mine, so I can guarantee its safety. We're far away from residential areas, but it's necessary because we might have to fight.""Welcome to our base!"Warrick smiled as he opened the door for his new allies. The Nerelarts were still standing in front of the log house, observing the other alliance members sitting in the living room."Look, who we've got here!" Lacey was the first to speak up. She waved her hand. "Aren't you guys going to come in?"Iris took a breath before stepping out, followed by the others. As a form

"I suddenly don't feel well," Brigitta pretended to cough to convince the crew that she needed a break. She rubbed her shoulders. "Maybe the cold is making me sick. I'm sorry I couldn't make the survey."Jill knew Brigitta was lying but would not make an issue of it. "Just go home! Your presence here is pointless anyway," she said with a mocking grin.Not wanting to make a scene, Brigitta hurriedly left the set. It was still nine o'clock at night, so she was sure the people in the main mansion were still awake.The guards let her in immediately, unlike before when she had to wait for confirmation. Wylie had given her access to the main mansion without his permission.It turned out that Lucy and Zayden were there. The two of them sometimes stayed at the Rauveron and Laureves residences, depending on the situation.This time, Wylie invited Zayden to stay at his house because he wanted to talk business with Kenway, the owner of Hearty Nature Foods. Zayden had a good understanding of fina

[You have completed the quest to make SIS more viral than ever!][You received Flower Entertainment as a reward. Details can be checked later through the inventory.]Warrick breathed a sigh of relief that his plan to create a sensation in the financial world had worked. The predictions of the HNF scandal made SIS's name rise again. More and more people were learning about his company.Just hours after the news broke, customer registrations suddenly skyrocketed. People who had been on the fence were convinced by the HNF case to use SIS's services."You did it," Soren usually talked with a straight face. But this time, a happy smile was firm on his face.The seven wealthy people he had brought to invest were grateful that SIS had saved them from losses. Their investment portfolios also did well since switching to Warrick's company.They had initially wanted to promote SIS at Soren's request. But thanks to the HNF case, they could proudly tell everyone they were SIS customers.[Your Lead

Ernest felt a strange sensation when Warrick called him 'Mr. Rauveron'. He should not have cared how Warrick called him.But somehow, he felt like he had lost something precious just because Warrick had stopped calling him father."Remember what we're here for," Zayden whispered when he realized Ernest was acting strange.Warrick invited his guests to sit on the sofa while he remained in his chair. He pointed out that they were just guests, and asking him to be nicer was inappropriate."As you can see," Warrick said, gesturing to the pile of files on his desk. "I'm busy with my work. You shouldn't have come here to say nonsense.""We came here with good intentions," Zayden smiled to hide his annoyance."If you want to make a proposal for cooperation, just go home because I've received too many of those.""This is more than a proposal."Warrick raised his eyebrows. "Keep it short.""We apologize for all our bad treatment." This time, Ernest did the talking. He had to be nice to Warrick
