The Resurgence Of The War King Chapter 14
Kate was about to step forward to the Big Four when Roderick slowly stopped her and whispered, "Why didn't you allow me to handle it, Miss Bolton? After all, it's my trouble."Kate was quiet for a moment, then agreed with him. She stepped backward gently, and Roderick confronted the Big Four."You're all elderly people. I expect you to find out about the other side of the matter before concluding."Roderick's point was more than a hard slap to their faces. The clearer meaning of his point was that the Big Four weren't wise enough as expected.This got them all angry at him.Caleb Houston was the first to speak, "Who the hell do you think you are to talk to us with so much disrespect!""Disrespect? When does addressing common sense become disrespectful?" Roderick retorted, adding to the madness of the Big Four.They felt that even if Clara was wrong, the way Roderick addressed them was rude and disrespectful, which said a lot about him already."I can't believe a nobody like you can be

Felicia's heart was troubled as they anticipated the CCTV footage results.She regretted her actions inwardly, knowing full well that she had attacked Roderick first. If she had known that the matter would lead to this situation, she wouldn't have bothered to confront him.Unfortunately, regret is useless at this time. She was more worried about missing the opportunity Benjamin White had promised her earlier.Bella and Clara were also feeling quite bitter. Even though they had no idea that Felicia was the one who blocked Roderick's path at first, they were aware of Jonah's actions.Given that they had even pushed Jonah to attack Roderick earlier, they blamed themselves inwardly.As for Jonah, despite how cool the hall was, he was sweating profusely at that moment. Even before the arrival of the CCTV footage results, he already knew his fate.With how angered the Big Four looked, he knew there would be no mercy.This filled his mind with panic and sadness. Aside from that, he would be

Jonah began to beam with joy at the turn of events. He felt so fulfilled as he was able to successfully push the blame onto Roderick, and the Big Four agreed with him.He wasn't the only happy one; Clara and her people were also included.At this moment, they all couldn't wait to see Roderick face serious punishment and be ultimately humiliated.Arnold Taylor's face remained frowned as he turned a cold glare at Roderick. "I hereby announce..."He hadn't completed his statement when Kate's voice suddenly cut in. "I can't believe the Big Four could be so biased in judgment after seeing the whole truth with their own eyes. This is outrageous." Kate shook her head in disappointment.Arnold's mouth, which had remained open in the air, suddenly shut as his face instantly flushed with embarrassment.He was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but turn away from Kate, exchanging glances with his colleagues, who had turned pale too.Of course, they all knew the truth. They knew who deserved th

They all turned to look at each other in shock and confusion. They found it hard to believe that their brains had interpreted Caleb's words correctly."Fall to your knees now and obey her order!" Jacob York barked at them as he saw Kate's face become increasingly angry.Clara and her people nearly exploded with rage as the order struck them hard again.It was difficult for them to fathom kneeling before Roderick.However, at this level, they had no option but to comply to avoid trouble with the Big Four.They also didn't want the Big Four to see them as arrogant and stubborn. They considered all of this to have a chance to secure deals with them in the future.Felicia turned to look at her people and whispered, "We wouldn't be in this mess if we had left Roderick on his own. But I urge us to obey the order, if not for anything else, to leave a better first impression with the Big Four."Clara and Bella's eyes darkened with disgust. They stared coldly at Roderick and wished for him to

The Big Four's faces looked a bit unhappy as the party was about to start but they were unable to win Kate's heart yet.However, deep down in their minds, they just couldn't let this gorgeous woman slip away from them.The more they stared at Kate, the more they found her attractive and couldn't afford to lose her.It was as if there was a charm around her that kept their attention glued to her.Because they were unable to win her heart so easily, they believed she would eventually fall for them as soon as she found out how stinkingly rich they were.When you flaunt your wealth to a lady, her heart becomes your vault.To make this dream of theirs come to life, one of them offered to Kate, "Gorgeous, the party is about to commence. How about you come with us to the VIP table to witness what it's like to be worthy?"He said, passing a cold glare at Roderick.Kate scoffed as she understood his words. He was simply stating that they were of great worth, while Roderick was completely usele

Clara's eyes bulged with anger as she spoke up instantly. "Felicia, I've always known that Roderick never wished well for you. If not, why did he come to this occasion tonight to cause you trouble?"Felicia remained in the same position, staring at the floor as her mind was clouded with millions of thoughts.Clara continued to express her frustration. "Take a look around this grand hall and point out any other lady as hot as you who could capture the Big Four's attention.""Nobody, except the mysterious lady whom Roderick hired. That shows he's nothing but a known enemy. The good-for-nothing brought her to steal your shine tonight."Seeing Felicia's mood in shambles, Clara gently moved closer to her, wiping the traces of tears from her face."Listen to me, Felicia. Enemies will try, but your strength lies in not giving in. As long as you have Jonah's backing, you can always rely on him, and your success is assured."The young heir of the Quinton family felt a breath of relief within h

The party was ongoing as the hall had become crowded with many celebrities and prominent figures of Glacia City. At this moment, the party had become very lively.Just then, the emcee returned to the stage and announced, "As the main event of this occasion is about to go live, let's all welcome the amiable Chairman of Ace Company to the stage.""What?!""Could this be true?!""Paul Ashley would be joining the party?!"Loud applause erupted in the hall instantly while people were in total disbelief at the news.They exchanged glances of shock as it was so unusual for Paul Ashley to show up at an event.The chairman is the very busy type whose time is not always on his side.Then, the crowd concluded that for Paul Ashley to show up at the event himself, the upcoming project must mean so much to Ace Company.Clara turned to her daughter in ultimate excitement. "Felicia, I must say today is a good day for us."A soft smile was plastered on Felicia's face as she nodded slowly. "Indeed, it'

The air in the atmosphere ceased as Paul Ashley took a pause. Everyone's attention was piqued as they all fixated on him.The Chairman calmly gazed around the hall to gauge people's interest in finding out about the approved bidder."Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said again, "The eligible bidder for Ace Company's upcoming project is..."Loud exhales were heard in the hall instantly as everyone adjusted in their seats.Felicia and her team were secretly praying that the chairman's announcement would be in their favor. They wished the project would be handed over to the White Group so they could have a piece of the hot cake, too.However, among the Big Four, they already had an idea of who the eligible bidder among them was.After all, there were just four in number, each aware of the others' financial capacity.Jacob York was the richest among them, followed by Caled Houston, then Arnold Taylor, and lastly, Benjamin White.Given that, they could tell who among them would be awarded

Meanwhile, Roderick was on his way to the Bolton Group's office, following the given directions to the location.Soon, he was in the general manager's office, sitting before a laptop.The War King was already playing along with his role as he logged on to the company's website to review the submitted proposals as expected.Upon reaching the page, Roderick was greeted with a large number of proposals that needed to be reviewed.His brows lifted slightly as he heaved a deep sigh. He couldn't explain how the business spirit that was slowly gathering inside him instantly vanished. The thought of how long it would take to check through the proposals brought him back to the reality of who he was.Roderick instantly remembered he was a War King who only grew stronger and more active on the battlefield. Anything else aside from that would be quite difficult for him to align with.After a bit of reluctance, Roderick finally scrolled through the screen and opened one of the proposals.Reading t

The big four began to consider the possibility of whom among them Roderick might choose.Given the statistics, Jacob York had an advantage in the construction industry compared to the others. But the York Group didn't have enough funds to partner with the Bolton Group compared to Caleb Houston's this time.For that reason, Houston's Group might get the chance to be the partnering company.The fact that Caleb had been so watchful and careful with his words earlier, as he never wanted to offend Roderick, says a lot about his chances too.In conclusion, the big four were still in the dark about whose company it might be, as they had no idea about Roderick's criteria for choosing a partner.The big four were still calculating in their heads when Roderick added,"I would like the public to know that the big four aren't the only ones eligible to be the partnering company. Any company that shares the same goals and vision as the Bolton Group for the project is eligible to be the partnering c

Bella's face immediately frowned in disgust. Taking a thorough glance at the scene before her, her hatred for Roderick grew even stronger.'Why is there such a large crowd?' she questioned inwardly, derisively.She stared coldly at Roderick from where she stood, with many ill intentions running through her mind.As she contemplated how to execute her plan, she turned to her boss to gauge her thoughts."Hmph! I can't believe Roderick is really acting as Miss Bolton's spokesperson. Does he even know what to say in this interview? Does he think people want to listen to him?"Felicia, whose face was still full of surprise, slowly shifted her gaze away from the large crowd, gave her secretary a brief glance, and replied, "We can't tell from this distance. Let's get closer to find out."The young CEO said this and immediately headed toward the crowd, leaving Bella completely confused. She expected her boss to be intensely angry and irritated at the sight of Roderick and to ask them to retur

Arnold's brows raised in extreme shock. 'Could that mean I might die at any moment from now?' he questioned himself in great panic. His face instantly turned bitter the more he thought about it. Roderick's remark was still like a hard pill stuck in his throat, but he had to swallow it down. Since Arnold's doctor had informed him that he had only weeks to live, he had been worried and afraid. But right now, he was scared to death as Roderick said his life was hanging by a thread. Even though he wasn't sure about the remark, the fact that he mentioned it made him seriously afraid. Arnold nearly burst into tears immediately, as he never wished to die prematurely. Still puzzled by how Roderick found out this information, Arnold's colleagues continued hurling insults at Roderick. Meanwhile, Arnold was frozen in place and shivering in utmost fear. The elderly man was nearly peeing himself. Just then, Benjamin dismissed Roderick's remark, saying, "Since you know it's common for people
Chapter 43
The elderly men's gazes turned to the floor as their faces flushed with embarrassment.Reflecting on Roderick's statement, they felt it was true. If he were worthless, it shouldn't be difficult for them to have him cleared out of their way.Moreover, they had always been troubled by his existence; Roderick never cared about them.This shows that he is a big deal to them, while they were nothing to him.Here is the truth before the big four, but it is up to them whether they agree to it.Suddenly, the big four all had their faces turn red with rage. Their fists clenched in fury, and they were tempted to pounce on Roderick to teach him a lesson.At that moment, Caleb quickly called his colleagues’ attention and whispered to them, “We don’t have to resort to violence with this kid in public. How about we teach him a lesson secretly? Silent swords cut deepest.”Caleb’s point seemed reasonable, making them all step back except for Benjamin.He knew his colleagues accepted Caleb’s suggestio

A black Mercedes-Benz, followed by an SUV, suddenly halted before a massive building—Horizon Complex. Some security guards jumped down from the SUV and rushed forward to the Mercedes-Benz to open the door.Seeing the black Benz in the distance, the big four, who had arrived very early at Horizon Complex that morning, instantly lit up with excitement."Huh?! Miss Bolton is finally here!" one of them shouted, catching the attention of the others. Instantly, the big four all rushed toward the car to welcome the noblewoman.At this moment, the black Benz door was opened, and a young, handsome man dressed in a well-tailored suit stepped out of the car.His demeanor was very calm, and his aura was completely domineering.The big four suddenly paused midway, as the figure before them wasn’t a lady. Scrutinizing him from head to toe, their faces twisted with immediate disdain.'What?! Roderick Holmes?!''This fool?!' Their minds buzzed with anger as soon as their eyes met Roderick's.The blac

They were already close to Horizon Complex, where the Bolton Group had rented a space for an office, when Christina cleared her throat."Ahem!"She forced a soft smile and turned to Roderick."Mr. Holmes, I will get off at the next junction. I have an urgent matter to attend to there. You don't have to wait for me; you can head to the office. Once I'm done, I will report to the office as well."Roderick nodded slowly in response. Suddenly, the car stopped, and Christina got out.As soon as the car sped away, leaving Christina behind, she let out a mocking smile. "Since Miss Bolton has so much faith in you, let's see how you handle the business. Bloody ignorant! Haha!" She laughed heartily and left in a direction.Meanwhile, Felicia was in the CEO's office at Santos Corporation. She was pacing back and forth, with many worries on her mind.There were files on her table that needed her attention, but she couldn't even take a break from her heavy thoughts to attend to them.One of Felici

The research she did on Roderick stated that he had been a live-in son-in-law for years. How can someone with such a record be in charge of Bolton Group's project?Never in his life had he ever been in business, either. How can someone with no knowledge of business manage one for a notable company like theirs?Christina couldn't understand why her boss was so inconsiderate about her reputation and that of the Bolton Group by choosing Roderick as the face of the project regardless of the odds.The secretary was still processing all these thoughts when she heard Kate add, "Mr. Holmes, don't forget that you were the one who announced to the public that Bolton Group is open for partnership. Now, interested companies are at our office's doorstep waiting for your approval."Roderick was speechless as he remembered he had actually said that last night. "Miss Bolton, I said that because I was just trying to play along. I would have disagreed with the post instantly yesterday, but I didn't wan

Roderick was mesmerized as he looked at the display from where he sat. Not that he didn't have the resources to get such a display for himself, but he was surprised that Kate took his birthday so personally and to this extent.Despite finding out about his birthday late, she still took the time to prepare such a bewildering present.Roderick understood the stress and money the display must have cost. Then he said to her, "Miss Bolton, we met just yesterday. Don't you think this present is too extravagant for me to accept?"Kate’s eyes lit up instantly. "Come on, Mr. Holmes. Nothing is too expensive for you, as long as it’s for you."She walked briskly to Roderick and asked, "Be honest with me, Mr. Holmes. Didn’t you like what you saw? How about I order more sets of all the accessories right away?"Roderick was mind-blown and left speechless as Kate said all that. He couldn’t fathom what was before him, yet she was talking about ordering more. Isn’t that too much?He slowly waved his h
