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
Anna smiled, walking up to the desk, she blinked, gazing at Theophilus with her beautiful, affectionate eyes."Guess?"Theophilus's face remained expressionless, he did not speak."A young girl seeks out a young man, what do you think it's for?"Anna looked at Theophilus playfully, making a joke."Of course, it's to ask you out on a date.""Sorry, I'm a married man." Theophilus replied indifferently."Ha, Mr. Jake, you're no fun." Anna laughed: "But I'm surprised, Mr. Jake, so young and already married, you've really surprised me.""Aren't Empyrian men all fond of being charming? With your age, and having both money and power, why marry so early?" Anna smiled, she was casually curious: "So, Mr. Jake's wife must be very beautiful, right?""I don't have time for idle chat." Theophilus dismissed: "Let's get to the point."It must be said that this blonde-haired girl, Anna, is truly beautiful, possessing a fatal allure for men.However, Theophilus knew that foreign girls always spoke with
The team leader Deathly, known by the moniker Deathly Kiss, was the ace agent of the royal military intelligence.A world-class assassin with an A-grade combat rating.Expert in firearms, with a one hundred percent assassination success rate, he was the most powerful operative of the intelligence bureau in Radiant Harbor.“I think we need to report this situation back to the headquarters in the empire where the sun never sets, to reprimand him properly." Chloe said, her face showing displeasure.Without team leader Deathly's intervention, she was not certain of defeating Theophilus.“Oh? Director, I just got stuck in traffic and was a bit late, and you want to report me already? Are you perhaps too stressed?” A carefree voice rang out.A young man with blond hair, dressed in a red vest and a floral tie, sauntered into the room.“That’s right, I don’t like being called team leader Deathly, just call me Wandering Soul, it’s my latest nickname, and I think it sounds pretty cool.”The blo
