"When Master Hall Russell was alive, Gabriel wasn't much involved with Black Dragon-Guard, just some basic interactions." Spencer replied earnestly.Theophilus nodded, saying: "Next, you just need to discreetly find out who currently holds the power in Black Dragon-Guard.""I will follow your orders, Master."Spencer bowed respectfully and then disappeared from the office like a shadow.Meanwhile.Near Radiant Harbor, on the small island of Sea Sky.Suddenly, a helicopter landed on the small island, and a team of business executives in formal suits hurriedly rushed into the central area of the luxurious villa compound.In the villa, Gabriel sat in a swivel chair, facing a long sandalwood desk where about twenty or thirty delicate pastries were neatly arranged."Dad! Something big has happened! The business operations in the corporation are all in chaos!""Mr. Gary, the public opinion in Radiant Harbor has exploded, and we can no longer control the stock market."A young man in a blue
"Go ahead, what does Mayor Gibson want to say to me?" Theophilus asked indifferently.Mathias replied: "Mr. Jake, Mayor Gibson sent me to tell you that Radiant Harbor is not a place for you to act recklessly. Your actions since arriving here have caused serious public order disturbances.”“The business community, financial sector, and media are all in chaos because of you.”“So what?” Theophilus’s face showed no emotion.“Mayor Gibson said that out of respect for the Alexander family, he will not apply harsh measures to Mr. Jake, but he hopes that you will be reasonable." Mathias said sternly.“It’s still not too late to stop now. Take your people and the money you’ve invested in Radiant Harbor and leave immediately. There’s still a chance to salvage this.”Mathias finished speaking with ease, his indifferent gaze fixed on Theophilus.He appeared overly confident, rightfully so, being the top secretary in Radiant Harbor, representing the city’s leader to deliver a message, holding abs
The Cromir family, the leading financial family in the world and Elder Campbell's family, had invested in the Latin Corporation, which was just one of their major enterprises.Even national leaders had to tread carefully around the foundation of this family!"Is that so? Uncle Chris, but you went and destroyed the Latin Corporation's branch office in Radiant Harbor." Anna tilted her chin, pondering something before speaking: "Don't tell me you don’t see that as a betrayal?""I have resigned from the Latin Corporation. Moreover, my current employer has compensated the Latin Corporation's headquarters for my actions. I haven't harmed the corporation." Chris clarified."Um, a very good reason." Anna nodded: "Do you think my father would agree with these words?""Uncle Chris, you were once my father’s butler when you were young. Without my father, could you have held power in the Latin Corporation? But now, you have betrayed my father, causing him great embarrassment, and he is furious."
“Theophilus, you will pay for your arrogance." Anna said coldly.“Hmph, you two, teach him a lesson for me.”As soon as she finished speaking, the two foreign bodyguards behind Anna quickly stepped forward, coldly staring at Theophilus.They had long been irritated by Theophilus's arrogance and couldn’t wait to slap him down.“This damn Empyrian, daring to be arrogant in front of Miss Anna. Where did you get some information about the family and start acting all high and mighty?” one of the bodyguards, a man with a scarred face, said coldly.“If Miss Anna hadn’t asked us to handle this peacefully, I would have killed these shrimps long ago!”The scarred man spoke coldly, his face filled with murderous intent.Indeed, Anna had instructed that during this visit to Empyria, they should follow Empyrian rules and be a bit gentler in their methods, otherwise, he would have already killed Chris and Theophilus and dealt with the consequences later!This man, known as the blood-stained blade,
Tick, tick.At that moment, Theophilus's phone rang.He answered it nonchalantly."Boss Jake, Marshall is causing trouble." Joaquin's serious voice came from the other end: "The head of the Radiant Harbor Economic Bureau personally led a team to investigate the corporation under your name, intending to pin several economic crimes on you.""The Radiant Harbor Economic Bureau is investigating me?" Theophilus's brows slightly furrowed, his eyes becoming colder."That's right, boss Jake. They're looking for trouble with you. Not only is the Economic Bureau investigating you, but the Radiant Harbor Commerce Association is also facing some issues. Wood, the head of the Radiant Harbor Security Organization, led the police to surround the Commerce Association's main office. He's accusing you of being involved in illegal detentions and calling you in for questioning.""I'm currently engaged in a standoff with them at the Commerce Association's headquarters."Joaquin reported the situation in a
Seeing this development, both Director Taylor and Director Wood looked at each other in surprise.They hadn't expected Theophilus to readily allow the executive members to come for a confrontation.Could it be that Theophilus wasn't afraid of them betraying him?Their original plan was to use Theophilus's refusal as a pretext to forcibly seal the building and interrogate each person, extracting evidence.Theophilus saw right through the changes in Directors Wood and Taylor's expressions and smirked.He knew exactly what they were thinking. They were clearly here to cause trouble, fabricating issues about the Radiant Harbor Commerce Association.Indeed, Theophilus had used ruthless means to coerce control of the commerce association.Unfortunately, what Directors Wood and Taylor didn't expect was that all the members of the association had already received a hefty sum from Theophilus.Each had been given a billion in cash, making it impossible for them to abandon ship.Moreover, they h
The next day.Radiant Harbor was abuzz, and the media was in a frenzy.All negative news about Gabriel was on the front page.Besides the expose Theophilus had released earlier, large forums and social media were filled with new discussions.Almost the entire internet was abuzz with discussions about Gabriel's bloodstained path to wealth, along with serious issues about his mistreatment of workers and journalists.After the public opinion, once controlled and then released again, was like a geyser, unstoppable.Meanwhile, on the Sea Sky island near Radiant Harbor.In a luxurious villa in the central area.Gabriel sat at a rosewood table with a heavy heart, not in a good mood.On the table lay the latest newspapers of Radiant Harbor, all featuring his portrait and public speeches.The words in them carried fierce criticism."Dad, why has public opinion erupted again? What's happening with Mayor Gibson's side?"Langston and the Gary family's elderly butler stood upright beside the desk,
"I know your goal is to seek revenge on Theophilus, and apart from that, you can tolerate everything. But I am different; I have my estate in Radiant Harbor, and I can't prolong this!" Gabriel finally vented, his face filled with rage, no longer able to hold back: "Theophilus and I are irreconcilable! I must kill him!"He was Lagan Gary, the richest man in Radiant Harbor!When had he ever been subjected to such humiliation? Being forced to dodge and hide from someone as young as Theophilus!"Do you think you can kill Theophilus? Do you think by borrowing the royal military intelligence, you can kill him?" Sigourney spoke very displeased."He has already ordered me, Theophilus must be captured alive!""Theophilus holds a secret that he wants to obtain. If Theophilus dies without yielding that secret, it would all be meaningless!".Upon hearing this, Gabriel raised an eyebrow: "A secret on Theophilus?"Hearing these words, he finally understood what Sigourney and the person behind her w
