Back From Prison! Chapter 228: Encountering Augustus.
A storm was brewing. That was an apt description of Top-Sky House's current situation. Even Jonathan did not anticipate that after just three peaceful days, there would be another move; all of Top-Sky House's entertainment businesses were scrutinized, and any slight violations led to an immediate one-month closure. In just three nights, half of the clubs in the Southwest had been shut down. A rigorous inspection followed. Let's say that since the first day of the month, Top-Sky House has been bleeding tens of millions every night. The second move from Augustus came swiftly, too quick for anyone to react. In the conference room on the top floor of Seven Wonders Corporation. Jonathan sat at the head of the table, with all the significant figures of Top-Sky House present, save for the recuperating Saint. The room was somber. Everyone was silent, lost in their thoughts. Zachary, previously thinking they could do no right, now realized that even doing nothing was wrong! His mind
Back From Prison! Chapter 229: Step By Step Approach.
"But this isn't a game, Mr. Lord God, if you lose, I fear the Heavenly Emperor Corporation will collapse." Jonathan retorted, narrowing his eyes. To control dozens of companies in the Southwest, the Heavenly Emperor Corporation had shouldered a debt of hundreds of billions. If the commercial war with Seven Wonders Corporation continues, the debt will only increase! If they don't defeat Seven Wonders Corporation, the Heavenly Emperor Corporation will face the possibility of collapse and dissolution. By that time, Adonis in New York would gradually weaken, even face dispersion. In this aspect, Adonis and Top-Sky House were completely different, and the situation would be dire. Augustus did not deny it, only pursed his lips and nodded: "That's the truth. But do you think I will lose?" Jonathan replied: "Hard to tell. In the context of the Southwest, you still have the backing of key officials from the New York government, making you almost invincible." "But once you get to New Yor
Back From Prison! Chapter 230: Doubt In Decision-Making
In the evening. Jonathan covertly made his way to the underground boxing ring beneath the Rain casino. Upon arrival, Nolan had ordered for Donald and Harvey to be brought out. A month after the ring fight, Jonathan had kept them here for recovery. "Young Wang, do you intend to keep us in the Southwest for the rest of our lives?" Donald asked coldly upon seeing Jonathan. Jonathan settled down on the long bench, smiled and replied: "To the victor go the spoils, losers receive punishment. You are with Roderick's faction and lost the fight, I could kill you and it wouldn't matter. What's wrong with holding you captive?" "Then kill us! If we die, your greatest enemy won't be just the underworld king Augustus, but our guild as well! Young Wang, you better consider this carefully!" Harvey retorted. These were not empty threats. Both of them held significant positions in the guild. If Jonathan were to kill them, he would ignite an irreconcilable feud with the guild of the three Northea
Back From Prison! Chapter 231: Hand Over The Economic Department.
That evening, Jonathan, as promised, made his appearance at the Jade Light teahouse in the city center. At that moment, Esther, dressed in a black silk outfit and sporting a pair of sunglasses, was seated within the teahouse. "Why did you suddenly remember to call me?" Jonathan approached, smiling and asked, while instructing the waitstaff: "I’ll have a cup of cooling tea, please." “I heard that the Heavenly Emperor Group from New York has arrived here, and there's intense competition with your Seven Wonders Group. You must be quite busy these days?”, Esther probed. These days, two news items were creating a buzz in the Southwest. Firstly, Esther's 'Big City' had just aired and become famous, turning into the most successful show of the year. More than a decade later, the name Esther is again a household name. One could say her comeback was immensely successful. The second piece of news was that the Heavenly Emperor Group had entered the Southwest, facing off against the Seve
Back From Prison! Chapter 232: Handing Over Power!
"Sir, I understand that this is the most peaceful and lenient solution you can provide. But you also understand, without the Economic Department as a backing, I would be of no use to Augustus. Whether I serve him or not would become meaningless." "I, I cannot accept!!" Without his Economic Division, Isaac was merely a useless old man. Why should Augustus treat him with such regard and grant him such wealth? It was clear to everyone that the Economic Division was Isaac's backbone when he pledged allegiance to Augustus. Handing over the Economic Division was tantamount to handing over Isaac's power. The atmosphere in the grand hall became indescribable. Jonathan stared at Isaac with dark eyes: "If you're reluctant to hand it over, you must pay the price. I can forgive your decision as an individual. But as the head of Top-Sky House, your choice is unforgivable. Do you understand?" "I do!" Of course, Isaac understood. Even though he knew his persistence meant stepping onto a path
Back From Prison! Chapter 233: Young Master Nathan Wang!
The name Nathan Wang bore a quite formidable origin. Upon Nathan's birth, Toshan Wang of the Wang family had invited a great master from Dragon Mountain to name his son. The master scrutinized Nathan's fate and proclaimed him to have the destiny of a holy dragon's ascension, suggesting the implication of an exceptional ruler. Without hesitation, the name Nathan was given! Followed by the surname Wang. The master even took Nathan to Dragon Mountain to nurture him for sixteen years. Back in those New York days, although Nathan was taken to Dragon Mountain right after his birth, his name had been circulating around New York for years on end. After sixteen years, people eventually stopped mentioning the name Nathan, but he had returned. Within a week of his return, he had trampled over the reigning top dog of that time, making his name reverberate throughout New York! Following that, New York was astir for a year, with any upstart being ruthlessly suppressed by him to the point of
Back From Prison! Chapter 234: Fire Reveals Rats.
"Ah, the famous Mr. Lancelot! Indeed, your reputation precedes you." Zachary wasn't fazed, but seemed rather enthusiastic, lavishing him with praise. "Ha, indeed, Lancelot is well-known. I'm Bernie, the lesser-known and less impressive one." Bernie appeared and said with a meaningful look. "Why would you say that, Bernie? Everyone knows that by Mr. Lord God's side, there is a cunning adviser. Mr. Lord God's success today owes much to your efforts." Zachary continued to flatter. Bernie responded with a smile: "You're overestimating me, but no amount of your praise can flatter me." Zachary burst into laughter: "I understand! But... today, my young master insists on meeting Isaac. It puts us all in a difficult position." Immediately, the smiles faded from their faces. What appeared to be a peaceful atmosphere was indeed fraught with tension. Today's showdown was not merely a friendly meet and greet between the two sides. Everyone had their respective missions. The men from both s
Back From Prison! Chapter 235: Facing Life And Death!
Atop the Sky Building's rooftop. Jonathan and Drake successively appeared, the wind on the rooftop was fierce. At this moment, Augustus was already waiting there. He slowly turned around and cast his gaze upon Jonathan. Not that it was Augustus's first or second encounter with Jonathan, but each time he seemed more stern and filled with increasing admiration. "I didn't expect you to outwit me, Jonathan. Wolfgang chose you for a reason." Jonathan closed the distance, maintaining a three-meter gap between himself and Augustus, and spoke: "It's merely a fluke. Had Isaac not betrayed us, I probably wouldn't have thought of this strategy." Augustus smirked and nodded. Indeed, without Isaac's treachery, how could Jonathan have orchestrated this diversionary tactic? Or, for instance, had Augustus himself paid a visit to the Clarke estate today, this opportunity would have been missed. But why would Augustus bother to keep a vigil over a small place like Isaac's estate? It wasn't tha
