Sam expressed interest in collaborating with the Innova Group and had lofty ideals and ambitions, which pleased the Innova Group. This meant there would be no obstacles from Frontier Digital.After over an hour of discussions, Sylvia and Eric departed, leaving Matthew behind. Vince would take over his shift later that night to ensure Sam's safety.-The night passed without notable events. With Sam's recovery and Izzie managing Frontier Digital, formal negotiations between the Innova Group and Frontier Digital commenced. While the negotiations weren't overly challenging with Sam's approval, some details still required discussion.Izzie officially assumed the responsibilities of the Hampton family. Despite Noel being Sam's son, he hesitated to pass the company to him, fearing Frontier Digital might no longer be part of the Hamptons the next day.Aware of the ongoing negotiations, Eric anticipated that hidden figures behind the scenes would soon reveal themselves. These mysterious f
The Dorseys, like many families, could only afford to support one martial arts grandmaster. The best they could manage was several masters. Vince, being a grandmaster, could easily handle 10 masters.Sam couldn't help but glance at Vince. A man who could take on the Dorseys alone was truly terrifying!Vince departed, leaving Eric alone at the Hamptons. Before leaving, Sam arranged for the driver to take Eric.Meanwhile, Sylvia was having dinner with Izzie.Izzie raised her glass. "Ms. Williams, I'd like to propose a toast to you."Sylvia lifted her glass and took a sip. After putting the glass down, Izzie asked, "Ms. Williams, how much do you know about Hol. Johnson?"Sylvia raised an eyebrow—she hadn't expected Izzie to ask about Eric. She smiled and said, "Ms. Hampton, are you interested in Hol. Johnson?"Sylvia found it quite amusing that a beautiful and well-off woman like Izzie was asking about her husband. Izzie twirled a strand of hair. "I find Hol. Johnson quite myst
Eric didn't pay much attention to Izzie's affairs—Sylvia occupied his thoughts.Late at night, at the Hampton residence.Sam and Izzie were discussing matters."You and Ms. Williams have much in common, and you're fully capable of taking over Frontier Digital."Not long ago, Izzie suggested Sam take charge of the company and continue negotiations with the Innova Group. However, Sam was aware that he was under the spotlight now, and only Izzie could remain somewhat inconspicuous. At least, their opponents probably haven't formulated specific plans targeting Izzie for now.Izzie pursed her lips. Despite having some business management skills, she considered herself a weaker woman.Sam said, "Izzie, you need to have confidence, just like Ms. Williams. What's wrong with women? They can be capable, too."Under Ms. Williams' management, the Innova Group increasingly resembles a super conglomerate. There's also Madam Montgomery, the CEO of Montgomery Corp. in King City. What's wrong wi
Noel entered, reeking of alcohol. "Dad, Izzie, we're in trouble. Our family and Frontier Digital are in trouble. Dad, you shouldn't have woken up!"Debby approached and slapped him. How could he curse his own family like that?"Let him speak!" Sam's face darkened. He sensed a conspiracy behind his poisoning."Evan Dorsey said the Dorseys won't allow Frontier Digital to cooperate with the Innova Group. If we persist, our family will be ruined, and others will acquire Frontier Digital," Noel revealed.He wasn't completely worthless—he had gained useful information during this drinking session. It was almost certain now that the Dorseys were behind all of this.Sam gestured for his wife to take Noel away.Once they left, Sam turned to Vince. "Mr. Locke, what's your take on this situation?"Vince squinted. "The Dorseys are just the front. I'm afraid there are others behind them."He had a clear view of the situation. The Dorseys were merely the vanguard.Sam nodded. "Mr. Locke is
Vince's striking power was incredible. He unleashed both fists as the two attackers rushed in, making them retreat over a dozen steps."A martial arts grandmaster?!" They were astonished.The Hampton family having a grandmaster was unexpected. How could such a skilled person be there?They thought of leaving, but Vince wasn't letting them off easily. As they tried to escape, Vince moved in, blocked one, and threw a punch!The man retreated, spat blood, and his partner escaped.Vince didn't pursue him. He approached the injured assailant, who looked at him fearfully."Tell me, who sent you?" Vince asked indifferently."I won't say anything! If you kill me, you'll face consequences. The law will punish you!"Vince smiled. "In my line of work, we don't learn martial arts first, but criminal law," he said."Since you broke into Mr. Hampton's place, I have a reason to attack you, and I have a way to get away with killing you. Whether you talk or not doesn't matter. I recently learn
From where did the martial arts grandmaster emerge?Reuben's expression shifted. "Is it possible that the Innova Group brought the grandmaster?"After ruling out other possibilities, it appeared to be the most plausible one.However, Reuben couldn't fully grasp it. The Innova Group had only been established for just over a year. How could they already have a grandmaster? Perhaps there was a depth to the Innova Group that he was unaware of."Mr. Dorsey, the Hampton family has a grandmaster, and our usual methods may not work against Sam Hampton," the man explained.He comprehended the situation. Sending a martial arts master to confront him would lead to a dead end. Although both were martial arts practitioners, the strength gap between a master and a grandmaster was significant."A grandmaster?" Reuben chuckled. "What can a grandmaster do to hinder us? Sam will meet his end if he insists on partnering with the Innova Group. Furthermore, keeping this person around poses a danger.
The collaboration between the Innova Group and the former Frontier Digital took a different turn. Originally, Sylvia aimed for Frontier Digital to focus on producing and supplying chips for the Innova Group.Following a day of negotiations, Izzie's vision was for the Innova Group to gain control of the former Frontier Digital.Concerned about international giants taking over, Izzie believed the Innova Group was their best chance. She feared that Frontier Digital would be left without support if the Innova Group developed its own chip.Despite the Innova Group possibly not pursuing this, Izzie and Sam were cautious.Sam agreed with Izzie that relying on the Innova Group was the safest option, considering the vulnerability of a single chip company in their country.Sylvia approved of the plan, realizing that without Frontier Digital, the Innova Group would have to invest time and money in developing its own chips. Thus, she saw no reason to reject such a promising proposal.Negotia
Sam wondered if Eric had already anticipated Reuben's arrival tonight."No! It's not illegal!" he exclaimed, shaking his head. "It's fine even if you take out one or two of them! After all, they're the ones trespassing!"As he spoke, his face darkened. At that point, he realized Reuben's intent—he was there to take his life!A group of people stood behind Reuben, glaring at them menacingly. However, Sam remained relatively calm, knowing Eric was present. He was confident that Eric must have made some preparations.Upon seeing Sylvia, Reuben paused for a moment, chuckled, and said, "I didn't expect to see you here, Ms. Williams. It seems you guys are concluding your cooperation, but I'm not too late."Sylvia looked at Reuben and asked, "Have you gone crazy, Mr. Dorsey? To obstruct the cooperation between the Innova Group and Frontier Digital, you brought in martial arts grandmasters to kill Mr. Hampton? Aren't you afraid of going to prison?""Go to prison?" Reuben laughed. "Going
