"Enter first." Theophilus said quite nonchalantly. "Yes!" Zahal replied, sighing softly in his heart. Blue Sea Corporation was in such chaos, and as the person in charge, he couldn't manage the current situation, which was absolutely terrifying. So, Zahal led the way, with Richard and Theophilus following him into the boardroom. Inside, at the large conference table, more than a dozen middle-aged men and women in neat suits were extremely furious. These were the major shareholders of Blue Sea Corporation, each possessing wealth that amounted to nine figures and significant standing in the Elysian Echo business community. Since Blue Sea Corporation was expanded by Jethro and ventured into other industries, it was no longer a simple real estate company. As a leading conglomerate in the economy of Elysian Echo, it naturally attracted investments from tycoons in other industries. Theophilus invested in Jethro, holding more than fifty percent of the shares in Blue Sea Corporation, th
"I'm weary of further discussion with you all." Theophilus spoke indifferently: "I will ask you only one question: do you have to cooperate with Latin Corporation?" "Of course, we've already made this clear. Our board of directors resolves to alter our development strategy of the corporation, which involves partnering with Latin Corporation and jointly developing major projects." Axel spoke with conviction: "We can even invite the CEO of Latin Corporation, Wolfe, also known as Duane Wolfe, to invest in the board of directors of Blue Sea Corporation, forming a joint front. This has been clearly stated. You can relay the message to Jethro." "Yes! Axel is the representative we all agreed to nominate. His words represent the will of all our shareholders." "I see." Theophilus spoke leisurely: "It appears the power of Latin Corporation has put you all under immense pressure. They have threatened your families and safety, so you immediately surrender and become their hunting dogs? Are you
"Boss Jake, now that you know the root cause of everything, we won't dare to rechallenge you. We've decided not to cooperate with the Latin group anymore. What exactly do you want us to do? Can you tell us?" A board member, drenched in sweat, spoke with a fearful expression. They had no idea what Theophilus wanted to do now. He held all their trade documents and personal information and was a mighty influence. It would be as easy as turning his hand to toy with their lives. Having experienced the crushing pressure of the Latin group once, they were genuinely terrified. A colossus like Theophilus, a monster with powers bestowed by heaven, is essentially invulnerable. "It's simple, now you all should arrange a meeting with the Latin Corporation and inform the liaison on the other end that you have nominated Axel as the new chairman. Tell them to come here and claim the assets of the Blue Sea Corporation." said Theophilus patiently. The shareholders present wore skeptical expressions
Despite thinking hard about it, Chris couldn't understand how this supposedly useless Theophilus of Elysian Echo had managed to do it. They were elite special agents from country M's intelligence bureau, specialists in covert operations, and top professionals internationally. How were they captured so easily? Chris sighed, trying to keep his composure. He asked sternly: "How did you manage to capture Falcon Squad? What is your intention?" From then on, he began to see Theophilus as a worthy opponent, not some common thug. "Catching Falcon Squad was not a big deal because they were too weak." Theophilus looked at Chris and answered indifferently: "What do I want? Your attitude will decide your fate." "Falcon Squad is weak?" Chris frowned, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. Even as the underworld boss with influence spread across the Asian region, he rated the Falcon Squad as a special forces team that could be ranked in the top ten among his subordinates, specialized in assassi
"You! What kind of person are you?" Hades was both astonished and angry, struggling to stand up, but Theophilus' indifferent foot on his head seemed like a heavy mountain pressing on him, making him unable to move. "You wouldn't be able to guess who I am." Theophilus said leisurely: "It would be best if you stop struggling, or else you won't be able to make a fist for the rest of your life." If he was not considering recruiting Hades to work for him, he would have used his internal energy to cut off Hades' tendons long ago. "I..." Hades was petrified, dared not to say a word more, and obediently shut his mouth. Today's encounter with Theophilus made him feel like he had met a legend! Hades had been through hundreds of battles over many years, but he could only hear about people with strength like Theophilus in legends. In the past, he had never believed that there were such masters in this world until he met Theophilus. He started believing that, indeed, Empyria truly houses such
"Mr. Jake, I know that fool Duane very well, he's one of the potential heirs to the Wolfe Corporation. I heard he's even crossed paths with you." Chris warned cautiously: "That fool despises you, but he's not worth your attention. I can bring that fool here at any time, with just a word from you, I could make him disappear from this world." Leaning on Theophilus, Chris continually pondered how to gain some of Theophilus's trust. Theophilus glanced at Chris, well aware of his intentions: a desperate endeavor to demonstrate his value and capabilities. "You don't need to worry about Duane." Theophilus stated coldly. "Yes, boss Jake." Chris responded gravely, slowly adjusting to his new role, accepting Theophilus as his superior. "From now on, pretend nothing has happened and continue to expand the Latin Group in Elysian Echo." Theophilus ordered seriously: "I'm keeping you here for tasks abroad. You need to elevate your position within the Latin Group and secure more influence. Gradu
Just as Duane was about to make a call, Hades immediately grabbed his hand with a chilling stare. "Hades, have you lost your mind? I have to call Chris now, and you dare to stop me?" Duane's face turned purple with anger, feeling utterly humiliated. "Let him call Chris." Theophilus calmly said. "Yes." Hades followed the order and released Duane's hand. Duane was incredibly skeptical, looking at Theophilus with disbelief. He started to grasp the situation, puzzled why Hades was helping this worthless Theophilus. No wonder his bodyguards at the resort hotel needed to answer their phones. As the head of these bodyguards, Hades must have tipped them off. Damn it! This scoundrel managed to bribe Hades. With a "beep" sound, the call was picked up. "Chris! Something's happened! Hurry to the resort hotel, and I was beaten here by that Empyria Theophilus, right? I don't know why your bodyguards have become Theophilus' accomplices!" As soon as the call connected, Duane hurriedly spoke.
"So, it seems you've escaped a catastrophe. You should thank me a lot for this." Pandora stated matter-of-factly. Theophilus found this amusing: "Thank you? Why should I?" "Had I not taken a hard stand against Duane, sent people to intimidate him, would he have obediently left Empyria? And given up on his plans for revenge?" She retorted. She could only think of this reason; otherwise, with Duane's character, why would he let Theophilus off so quickly? Theophilus didn't express his opinion, his mouth slightly curling in a smile. She's so naive, thinking the Latin Corporation is that simple. Could her Blue and Yellow subordinates intimidate Duane? Behind Duane is Chris, whose power in Elysian Echo can be said to be unchallenged, except by him. "Well, if you put it that way, I should thank you." Theophilus casually said, pouring himself another cup of tea. Pandora slightly frowned, saying: "You brush off a favor of such magnitude with just that? Can't even invite for a meal?" The
