"Ha ha, scared now, aren't you? Your courage is so small, you can't even admit it?" Scarlett laughed mockingly, as if she knew everything: "Louise, I told you before, this Mr. Jake must be a con artist, maybe even an accomplice of Terrance, scheming to approach your family, the Gonzalezes.""Stop it, this Mr. Jake is definitely a fraud collaborating with Terrance in a play. Pretending to save Roosevelt, but in reality, harboring ulterior motives."At this moment, a young man in a dark blue suit leisurely approached them, looking at Theophilus with an annoyed expression."Louise, think about it, didn't Roosevelt tell you that Terrance was racing near the airport, almost hitting him, and then he was saved by this Mr. Jake? You believe such a story? With racing cars going at such speed, could this Mr. Jake really save Roosevelt? Is he a superhero? It's obviously a deliberate slackening of the accelerator by Terrance." the young man expressed his doubts: "Clearly, this is just a scam, can
Theophilus offered a faint smile: “Public opinion is a double-edged sword.”“Toppling Gabriel isn't just about this.”“I have other arrangements.”“You have other plans, Young Master Jake?” Joaquin asked seriously: "May I offer any assistance?”Joaquin was decisive. If he had chosen to align with Theophilus and aimed to overthrow Gabriel, he was ready to commit his full resources.Once Gabriel fell, the substantial pie of Radiant Harbor would be shared, and apart from the Young Master at its helm, he would also have his share.Theophilus said: "Director Gonzalez, I’ll handle the other aspects. You just need to focus on two things.”“First, compile all evidence meticulously, organize it for widespread media and online channels, and be ready to release it at any moment. The whole internet and the national public must be informed!”“Second, discuss with the Radiant Harbor Chamber of Commerce to prepare for the removal of Gabriel as the chairman at any time.”Of course, Theophilus didn't
"What did you say?"Moshe Torres, furiously livid, stared coldly at Theophilus."Say that again, I dare you."The audacity of Theophilus's words!One could doubt his character, but to question his taste?Wasn't this akin to belittling his daughter?Theophilus offered no explanation.Standing beside him, Hades let out a mocking, cold laugh: "Fat and foolish, do you really want boss Jake to spell it out for you?""With your daughter's looks, even if she stood naked at his door, boss Jake wouldn't bother giving her a second glance."Hades spoke without any pretense of politeness. How dare he shamelessly accuse boss Jake like that, regarding Scarlett Torres? And to even suggest that Jake had never seen a woman before?He had seen women throw themselves at boss Jake, any of whom were far more beautiful and graceful than Scarlett."Damn you, do you want to die? How dare you insult my sister like that!", Renaldo Torres, fists clenched, looked extremely angry and menacingly glared at Hades an
After all, he was an experienced man, capable of being flexible, holding back his rage.Moshe had his own calculations, knowing that today it would be difficult to touch Theophilus in front of Joaquin.However, Theophilus was just taking advantage of his relationship with Joaquin to act arrogantly here.Once a suitable opportunity arose to deal with Theophilus, Joaquin wouldn't turn against Moshe just for a worthless death.Joaquin glanced at Theophilus, seemingly seeking his opinion.Theophilus nodded slightly."Mr. Torres, please, I have already prepared a banquet." Joaquin said with a serious expression.Meridian Restaurant, Bamboo Melody private room.The room was decorated in an ancient style, with several landscape calligraphy paintings hanging on the walls, creating an antique atmosphere.Beside the dining table was a clear stream flowing gently, surrounded by several famous and precious bamboo plants, giving the place an elegant appearance.Theophilus sat calmly in his place,
Half an hour earlier, boss Jake had instructed Chris to bring people, and they had been waiting downstairs in the VIP room, ready for orders.The original plan was to call Chris over to discuss business.But now it seemed Chris would have to handle something else."What's with all this drama? You still act all high and mighty here, pretending to have power?" Renaldo looked at Theophilus with disdain: "Calling people over? Do you think you're someone important? You're just a country bumpkin!""Uncle Gonzalez, you see, that's how dishonest Theophilus is, probably used to hanging out with street thugs and thinking he's some big shot. Daring to call people to confront my father?" Scarlett's face showed disdain as she sneered: "Doesn't he know his place? What can a juvenile like him call for? I think he's embarrassing uncle Gonzalez right now!"Ridiculous, a nobody like Theophilus, relying on his connection with Joaquin, thinking he can reach the skies!Calling people over too?Doesn't he
"Father, you can't do this! What wrong has my brother done, that you want to cripple him? He just had a little conflict with that Jake guy! Father is a big shot in Radiant Harbor, wealthy and powerful, why should you fear someone like him?" Scarlett approached to persuade, not understanding why things had turned out this way.In their eyes, their father, Moshe, was one of the top figures in Radiant Harbor, the vice president of the Radiant Harbor Commerce Association! A major player in Meridian's grey area, respected by all the gangs!Yet, he was being pressured to the point of crippling his own son? And willing to do so?"Shut your mouth! Renaldo ended up like this because of your spoiling!" Moshe erupted in anger, coldly glaring at Scarlett: "If you dare say another word, I'll cripple you too!"As he finished speaking, Moshe gestured commandingly: "Seize that foolish kid for me."Immediately, several bodyguards in suits rushed forward, knocking Renaldo down and pinning him against t
Glass International Building.Nighttime.Theophilus had returned to his executive office.He sat in the director's chair, slowly closing his eyes in deep contemplation.Under the pale moonlight, Theophilus' face exuded a cold, lethal aura, chilling to the bone.In this silent moment.Unbeknownst to anyone, the door to the office had been opened at some point.A figure dressed in black appeared in the office, standing close to Theophilus.In the hallway outside the office, elite guards dressed in vests lay scattered on the ground.The entire vast building was eerily silent, the atmosphere heavy and tense.Theophilus slowly opened his eyes, his face as calm as an ancient well without a ripple, indifferently looking straight ahead.Theophilus spoke nonchalantly."You shouldn't have come here.""But we are already here."The leader in black stepped forward, his fierce and murderous face emerging under the silvery moonlight.He was a middle-aged man with wolf-like fierce eyes that almost g
Austin, as the Sect Leader with real power, supported someone other than Hayden, even competing with him for interests.Austin was also unclear why Hayden had suddenly come to Radiant Harbor and even personally visited the Glass Building. Could it be that he wanted to get involved in Theophilus' affairs?The situation at Radiant Harbor was becoming increasingly complicated!"Good question!" Hayden sneered, glancing at Austin: "If you already know the rules set by the Lightroom Sect leader, then let me tell you why I came to Radiant Harbor!""In the succession conference among the three Young Masters, I emerged victorious. Now, I, Hayden, am the sole Young Master of the Lightroom Sect!" Hayden declared boldly, arrogantly proclaiming: "By the decree of the Lightroom Sect leader, everyone must follow my orders, except for him!""What!" Austin's face showed utter astonishment, a sense of foreboding rising within him."So, so Young Master..." Austin's forehead was dotted with sweat, he hes
