Natalie introduced several people, all of whom were major bosses with strong financial backing in Celestria, leading figures in their fields.These individuals were the most important shareholders of the Jake family's Ethereal Nexus corporation.From one perspective, the Jake family's corporation is considered an outsider; they still rely on the big business moguls of Celestria."The new Executive Director of the Jake family's Ethereal Nexus corporation?" the middle-aged man with a cigar questioned, his face doubtful as he scrutinized Theophilus: "Why wasn't such a significant appointment announced to us? Does he have the capability to take on the role?"The speaker was Montague Turner, the Director of Celestria's premier architecture corporation, a prominent figure in Celestria's architectural sector."Ah, Director Turner, Uncle Theophilus comes from Fresno; he is our Jake family's Third Young Master. It's best not to doubt his talent and identity." Natalie spoke softly.She also fel
Thus, even though they knew Theophilus was the Third Young Master of the influential Jake family, Theophilus, despite his significant background, was of no concern to the established elites in Celestria. "Young Mistress Jake, see, it's not that I don't respect you, but he doesn't know his place. A useless Young Master still wants to prove he has capabilities?", Montague said to Natalie: "Later, if he dares to do anything, just have him invite us for a drink and apologize. We will also discuss business with Young Mistress Jake. After all, people like us don't bother with the likes of him". Natalie slightly frowned, she didn't show much reaction, turning to look at Theophilus who was calmly standing there. She was also very curious, if Ernesto had spoken so, then what extent of significant connections could Theophilus still utilize in Celestria... Five minutes later. A Maybach with the license plate Ji A88888 drove up to the front of the Metal club, a man about fifty years old got
Natalie's convoy glided through the bustling city streets. In the middle Rolls-Royce Holdings, Theophilus rested his eyes in the back seat, with Natalie anxiously by his side.Theophilus's demeanor today had taken her by surprise. Previously, Natalie thought Theophilus would be overshadowed by Ernesto in Celestria, with no chance to showcase his martial skills. Yet, with just a few light words from Theophilus, even someone as high-ranking as Ignacio was willing to exert himself on his behalf.Thinking it over, it made sense! The matriarch had dismissed everyone else’s opinions, adamantly choosing Theophilus as the heir. With her keen insight, how could she possibly misjudge him? Entrusting the enormous Jake family conglomerate in Ethereal Nexus to Theophilus, she must have recognized his talents early on."Third Young Master, I didn't expect you to have such a vast network in Celestria." Natalie inquired: "with chairman Charlie referring to you as chairman, you must wield significant
"Young Master Alexander, you've come from Fresno, I've heard you're representing the Jake family at the hermit world's Six Families Conference." Hayden pulled out two glasses of wine from the car's fridge and handed one to him."Congratulations, Young Master Alexander, this calls for a toast."Theophilus chuckled and said: "If you've heard about that, then you must also know what Ernesto has been saying in Celestria?"Hayden replied: "I've heard, Ernesto wants to block Theophilus in Celestria.""Who is Ernesto, anyway. I think he's no match for Theophilus."Theophilus didn't respond directly but asked: "What's your influence like in Celestria? Ernesto has manipulated Oldest Young Master Clarence of the Phillips family. What's Nameless's status in the family?"After a moment's hesitation, Hayden answered: "Young Master Alexander, to be honest, my business in Celestria is doing well, but might still be a bit behind Ernesto. He represents the will of the entire Jake family in Wolves and
Clarence, so the matter we discussed before, you don't want to discuss it further, right?" Hayden coldly challenged: "You're looking down on me, Hayden, and Young Master Alexander?"Clarence squinted and said: "Young Master Radisson, back then you wanted me to speak up at the six families' meeting, right? That's not a problem, but the issue is the person you've invited is not worthy.""I thought you would invite Master Robinson or the vice-leader of Lightroom Sect to discuss with me. But you invited Theophilus instead? Can he control the situation?" Clarence said with a cold laugh: "Moreover, I have a close relationship with Mr. Ernesto, why would I seek far and neglect the near to discuss with Theophilus? Wouldn't it be more reliable to seek Mr. Ernesto for anything?"Clarence had made his stance clear.Yes, he was looking down on Theophilus.In Clarence's eyes, Theophilus of the Jake family did not have the significant influence like Young Master Ernesto. If behind Theophilus there
Theophilus chuckled and responded: "It's just a meal, why be so tense?"Natalie bowed her head and whispered: "Do you, do you know why?""You've said Clarence and Ernesto are here. Guess if I know why you've invited me?" Theophilus looked at Natalie with a teasing expression.Natalie's face immediately flushed red, and she said: "Thank you, Third Young Master, for your help.""No need to thank me. I agreed to show up for you but also had my calculations." Theophilus said indifferently."Just follow my lead when we enter the party.""Ok, I will follow your instructions." Natalie nodded in response.Then, Theophilus led Natalie and a few Azure Dragon-Guards up to the third floor of Ethereal Nexus, to a private and elegant room."Miss Natalie, you've arrived."As soon as Clarence saw Natalie, he squinted and stood up, but his face darkened immediately upon seeing the man beside her."It's you! Theophilus! What are you doing here?" Clarence expressed his displeasure.Ernesto, sitting next
"Ernesto, do you want to seek justice for Clarence?" Theophilus looked coldly at Ernesto: "If you don't have such thoughts, then I'll take Natalie away.""Theophilus, you're even more arrogant than I imagined." Ernesto said darkly: "Ruining the marriage alliance between the Jake and Phillips families, and attacking Clarence in front of me? You're truly arrogant."Theophilus responded with a cold laugh: "And what if I am? Should I be polite to you?""Ha ha." Ernesto laughed in anger, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.He stared at Theophilus, emitting an incredibly sharp aura, like a divine sword about to be unsheathed.At that moment, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, everyone present felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.Ernesto was furious.Theophilus looked indifferently at Ernesto, standing with his arms crossed.The two faced off intensely.Natalie was startled, not expecting the hostility between the Oldest Young Master and the Third Young Master to be s
After Clarence finished speaking, two elderly men with deep black eyes and silver hair stepped forward, both exuding a distinguished aura, stepping firmly.Theophilus chuckled, glancing at Phineas beside him.Phineas also smiled with interest, leisurely fanning himself while watching Clarence's group.Clarence's daring to come here surprised Phineas.Did the Oldest Young Master of the Phillips family really think he could be so arrogant?Was he unaware of how high Theophilus's martial arts were, or that Theophilus was allied with the Mysterious Royal-X?Did Clarence really think he was the boss of Celestria, doing whatever he wanted?"Are you Clarence, the Oldest Young Master of the Phillips family?" Phineas observed Clarence: "Daring to disturb while I and Young Master Alexander are having tea? Take your people and leave immediately, out of respect for your grandfather, I don’t wish to dwell on the mistakes of someone as insignificant as you. Don’t bring trouble upon yourself.""Old
