The people seated on stage were representatives from the housing department in the local government. They were the ones who had the final say on who would get Pegasus No. 1.Once the bidding war began, every company would hand in their documents. Then, each company representative would go on stage to pitch their planned construction and intended end product. After the people on stage had discussed it among themselves, they would announce the winning tender.Ms. Sawyer was furious when she saw how others mocked her company, but she couldn’t do anything.All the companies here seemed to be influential development companies from Cloud City and Aurum County. Only Gould Properties and Garth Properties could be considered newcomers here.In terms of scale and influence, Garth Properties was the weakest.After the tenders were verified, it was time for the bidders to pitch. Watching each company go up and describe how they plan to develop Pegasus No. 1, Allegra felt very unconfident.Af
Isaac turned to look at Ms. Sawyer, frowning. “Why is it only 500 million dollars? Didn’t you go to Watson for financing?”“Mr. Garten, we don’t even have 500 million dollars now. Ms. Booth said she was too embarrassed to go to Watson,” Ms. Sawyer said, upset.Seeing Allegra walk down with tears in her eyes, Isaac frowned, stood, and walked up the stage.He stopped Allegra and said lowly, “Don’t go yet. Let’s go up there and try again.”“Who are you? Why are you two coming up again?” The man on stage pointed at Isaac.“Ms. Booth only shared one of our alternative proposals. We still have another one we haven’t pitched.” Isaac continued to pull Allegra on stage.“What? Don’t…”Isaac stared at the man coldly and said, “According to the rules, each company gets ten minutes. Most of these companies went overtime, so why are you singling out Garth Properties?”The man didn’t know how to respond to that rebuttal. “Hurry up, then,” he said disdainfully.Allegra stood to one side on t
The statement showing 50 billion dollars in investments shocked the room. During the lunch break, Horace, Randall, Edward, and the other important people on stage left the room.Allegra pulled Isaac aside, her face full of confusion. She said emotionally, “Isaac, did Beefy Bob get us all these investments? These are all global corporations.”Clearly, Allegra was unbelievably shocked by this. However, she also had her doubts—was Beefy Bob this powerful?His background must be extraordinary!“Let’s not talk about this now. Now that we have the money, things will be easier. Let’s grab a bite. It’s Friday; we have to go pick up Isabella later.” Isaac changed the topic instantly.At 2.30 pm, everyone returned to the venue. It was almost time for the results to be announced.Allegra was still very anxious. Some could tell that Horace, Randall, and Edward had a special connection with the executives on stage.The bald man in the middle of the stage stood up. After deliberating, they fi
“Mr. Marsh?” The bald man in the middle immediately recognized him.Herman and Horace both turned to look at him.“What’s the personal secretary of the big guy doing here?” Herman squinted his eyes. He suddenly had a bad gut feeling.The people on stage stood up and smiled at Louis. “Mr. Marsh, what are you doing here?”Louis stepped forward to greet them. “Oh, my boss is quite interested in this piece of land, Pegasus No. 1. He said this would impact Cloud City’s sustainable development plan for the next ten years or even in the long run, so he asked me to have a look into this. I don’t have any other intentions besides watching. You all may proceed.” Afterward, he turned around and went straight over to Garth Properties.Louis took a seat next to Allegra and even greeted Isaac next to her with a nod.When the bald man on stage saw this, he sucked in a cold breath, rubbing his chin.There must be an underlying meaning to the seat that Mr. Marsh chose!Herman’s mouth twitched
Isaac immediately dialed Allegra’s number after he got into his car. As soon as the line connected, he asked, “Ally, did you ask Andrew to pick Isabella up?”“What? No, I didn’t. Did Andrew pick Isabella up?” Allegra’s shocked voice came from the phone.“You should ask Andrew. I’ll head over to you right away.” He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.At that moment, in the president’s office of Garth Properties, Allegra was anxiously looking for Andrew’s number to ask him when she received a phone call.When she saw it was her Uncle Edward’s number, she briefly hesitated before putting her phone to her ear.“Allegra, is your daughter missing? You must be a nervous wreck,” came Edward’s sinister voice.“H—How did you know? Were you the one who asked Andrew to pick up Isabella?” Allegra flew into a panic.Edward laughed coldly and said, “You have to draft an agreement whereby Garth Properties voluntarily relinquishes the Pegasus No. 1 tender and send it to the real e
Isaac’s heart seized. The Divine Fists School?He’d assumed it was just Andrew or Edward scheming against him; he didn’t think it was the martial arts powerhouse.“Don’t panic. I’ll…”Before he could finish speaking, his phone began vibrating in his pocket. He lifted the phone to his ear and immediately heard Warwick’s frenzied laughter.“Garten, you bastard, the little bastard child from Carmine Elementary is now in my hands. You don’t want this little girl to die, do you?”Isaac’s eyes hardened. He said coldly, “If Isabella so much as loses a hair, I’ll bury your entire family!”“Hmph, it seems I took the right person. Even now, you dare to speak to me that way? I want to see you in front of the Divine Fists School at midnight. Or else, you can find her corpse at the foot of the mountain!”After the line went dead, Isaac’s heart was still beating hard.Even when he went up against the troops of other nations, he had never felt this uneasy. He turned his head to find Allegra i
The roar was infused with Isaac’s powerful spiritual energy. When strange noises began coming from the bushes surrounding them, Harry and Beefy Bob reflexively looked around them cautiously. As they expected, there was an ambush.In front of the building, the three elders looked at Isaac in shock. The man on the horse was overflowing with power. They could have never imagined that Isaac would have barged into their gate this way.There weren’t any paved roads starting from halfway up the hill, and from that point, there were three miles of winding mountain path to traverse to reach the Divine Fists School. Typically, the Divine Fists School’s students could only walk halfway down the hill.This circumstance also preserved the purity of the martial arts powerhouses based on Mt. Equest.However, it was actually Harry’s idea to ride horses up the hill. He was the one who procured war horses from the garrison, and his doing so had saved them a lot of stamina.“Isaac, you bastard, I
A fist flew toward the round-faced elder.Upon seeing the red shadow fist coming at him, the elder’s expression changed instantly. He could sense the force imbued in this shadow fist.“How is this possible?” he couldn’t help but shout in terror.He thought that Isaac’s red spiritual energy could only be channeled by someone as powerful as him.Never in a million years did he think that this fatso in front of him could…But he didn’t have the time to think about it any longer. He crossed his arms, releasing an earth-shaking roar, and channeled all of his spiritual energy into his arms in an effort to block Beefy Bob’s punch.The air around them rippled when Beefy Bob’s Luminous Punch crashed into the elder’s arms. Immediately after, with a loud crack, both of the elder’s arms were instantly broken.“Ah!” he let out an agonized shout.Beefy Bob took the opportunity to rush forward. He threw his right shoulder, hitting the elder squarely in the chest.The elder’s mouth dropped op
