Just a moment away from enjoying this cake, but then Chris unexpectedly emerged, puncturing the plan. He somehow managed to pull together an enormous sum to buy out Ethereal Creations in one fell swoop."Is this Theophilus really the useless son-in-law from the countryside as you said?", Maugdi asked skeptically.Something was off. He couldn't comprehend how Theophilus had become so influential."Absolutely, I'm 100% sure. Theophilus is a worthless son-in-law from Elysian Echo City! He surely doesn't have any significant capabilities! I even met his in-laws myself. Even his own family despises him as trash!", Duane stated emphatically.Maugdi fell into deep thought, finding Theophilus an enigma."What's the matter? You don't dare to admit it?", Theophilus sneered at Duane: "Don't you want revenge? Now, I'm giving you a chance. I crippled your legs, have you lost all your courage to face me?""In terms of money, you're not wealthy enough. In terms of courage, you don't have it. So wher
"Am I dreaming? Is there really someone this powerful in the world?""Even movies don't go this far, right? A bunch of experts didn't even touch him before being defeated? Even more ferocious than a destroyer.""This is a true master! If I get the chance, I really want to become his disciple and learn..."The young men and women sitting there were all abuzz, looking at Theophilus with awe. Now, in their eyes, Theophilus seemed like a mythical figure!Theophilus's face remained calm, with one hand behind his back, he slowly walked towards Maugdi and Duane.Duane and Maugdi looked at Theophilus with ashen faces, beads of sweat as big as peas on their foreheads, stepping back in panic."So, what now? Mr. Wolfe and Director Maugdi have lost. Isn't it time to fulfill the bet? Does he really dare to take the lives of Mr. Wolfe and Director Mau?""This is a life wagering game! Do Mr. Wolfe and Director Mau have to pay with their lives?""Not so fast. They might not willingly give their lives
Maugdi and Duane screamed in agony, as if being slaughtered, their faces drained of blood, like seeing the grim reaper before them.Indeed, at this moment, Theophilus's face was like that of death itself!Boom!Maugdi's face turned ashen, and he fell to his knees without hesitation!Even Duane's two bodyguards were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.Duane fell awkwardly, crawling on the ground like a dying dog, his face even more dreadful than at a funeral."Theophilus, I beg you, don't kill me! I, I agree to pay any price!" Maugdi knelt, begging for mercy, without any thought of resistance."I, I, Theophilus, our Wolfe Corporation is an international tycoon. I can give you whatever you need, everything! Just please spare my life!" Duane pleaded in horror, so scared that he wet his pants.With Theophilus right before them, they had no thoughts of struggling or resisting left.They had witnessed the unparalleled, god-like demeanor of Theophilus.Not even dozens of fully a
With a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his face, Theophilus observed Aldo, who had previously looked down on others and played the role of a loudmouth for Maugdi. Now, he had the audacity to come begging?In the Glass building, on the first-floor lobby.Aldo sat on the sofa with Penelope, both displaying an air of nervous anxiety."Chairman Jones, what do you think? Will Theophilus, I mean, Chairman Jake, let us off?" Penelope asked cautiously.Aldo's head was about to burst. He rubbed his temples, his face twisted in pain and regret, almost driven mad by his remorse.He had never imagined that right after breaking the contract with Theophilus and relying on Maugdi, Maugdi would be taken care of so swiftly! Even the corporation was swallowed up and renamed the Jake Corporation!He had failed to recognize the true power before him.He had thought Theophilus was just a lackey of Chris, but with a single breath, the entire Radiant Harbor had changed, engulfed in storms and rain!In
“Mr. Gary, are you restless over such a trivial loss? Could it be that you can't even endure ten or fifteen days?” Sigourney questioned him.Gabriel's expression remained unchanged as he answered: "Mrs. Lee, you must trust my judgment. Sooner or later, Theophilus will turn Radiant Harbor upside down. He's capable of it. By then, even if we manage to eliminate Theophilus, the disruption in Radiant Harbor's business sector would be irreparable, and my losses irreplaceable!”Sigourney slightly furrowed her brows, sipping her drink, pondering carefully.For people at their level, money was no longer the primary concern but merely a tool.What truly mattered to them was the bigger picture.The grand scheme of Radiant Harbor's business world, or the financial system under Gabriel's control, was worth far more than any amount of money.Theophilus's extraordinary talent was something Gabriel could not tolerate.“Mr. Gary, it hasn't come to that yet. I’ve told you, any losses from your war wit
“A chairperson? Ha, just a head of some insignificant corporation in the countryside, and you dare to brag about that?” Eleanor mocked.Anselm's face turned furious, he picked up the phone intending to find the security of Dragon Snow mansion, but before he could step out, he was blocked and pushed back inside by two of Eleanor's female bodyguards.“What exactly do you want to do?” Anselm glared at Eleanor, angrily demanding an answer.“Where is Theophilus? I'm looking for him." Eleanor asked indifferently.“Looking for Theophilus? Theophilus isn't in Elysian Echo City! What does your search have to do with our house?” Anselm became even more infuriated.“What do you want with Theophilus? What are you to him?” Ariel asked.“Theophilus is my man!” Eleanor stated arrogantly.“What? Theophilus is your man! You, you're so audacious! That Theophilus is indeed dreadful!” Anselm's face flushed with anger.“Oh my God! To think that the vixen that Theophilus, that useless man, is cavorting wit
Eleanor nodded, always confident in her brother Hayden's strength.Hayden was famously known as the top Young Master of Radiant Harbor, the unicorn of the Radisson family!In the world of Radiant Harbor’s elite families, the previous generation unanimously recognized him as the most outstanding among the younger generation of noble descendants!Even after witnessing Theophilus’s overwhelming power and strength, in Eleanor’s eyes, Theophilus was at best on par with her brother, perhaps even slightly inferior, given Theophilus was a few years younger than him.Hearing the conversation of the Radisson siblings, Richard and Jethro were sweating profusely, seemingly beginning to understand the identity of the two before them.The Radisson family of Radiant Harbor! The unicorn of the Radisson family!These must be the notorious Radisson siblings, nearly revered in Radiant Harbor.Could it be that boss Jake was confronting these formidable figures? Rumor had it, boss Jake was handling the we
Ariel believed that this matter was not a big deal. Using the name of the Miller family's gemstone corporation wasn't bad at all. At most, it would just allow the Millers to enjoy some additional benefits and profits each year."That's right, Dulcie, your mother is absolutely correct. We are one family, and the Miller family's gemstone brand is a legacy our ancestor left us; we can't just let it go." Anselm said sternly: "It's just a name change, nothing serious. I will heed my parents' advice and change the brand name!"Dulcie felt a headache coming on, as her parents were easily swayed and overly fond of vanity.They simply didn't grasp the importance of this matter or understand its crucial point.Changing the brand name was a significant decision. Initially, after renaming it to Dulcie Gemstone Corporation, it had built a prestigious reputation in Radiant Harbor and established a trading center in Utopia Springs, aiming for international acclaim.This reputation was built by Theop
