Seth was merely casually asking, without any genuine intention of doing so.He was not the kind of person who would do anything for profit.Besides, if Mila’s friend could provide insider information once, she could do it again. Cooperating with her now meant potential benefits in the future.So, from any perspective, Seth saw no reason to renege on the deal.“Alright, I agree!”Unsurprised by his response, Mila inquired, “How much are you planning to invest in the land purchase?”“Hold on a moment.”After saying that, Seth dialed Rosemary.“How much cash is currently available in the company account?”Rosemary, who had just finished bathing and was preparing to sleep, quickly checked her computer. “Considering the upcoming monthly payroll and the need to retain some emergency funds, we can use about a billion.”Seth quickly did the math in his mind.Given the current land prices, a billion could buy around two million square meters, roughly around 3,000 acres.This regio
Since Yvonne had only been there for a few days, she was not familiar with the capabilities of the two individuals before her.At that moment, her assistant placed two documents in front of her.As she conversed with them, she glanced at the documents and grew increasingly astonished. Even her smile deepened.After listening to Seth’s request, Yvonne smiled and said, “Considering your credentials, a loan of two billion is no problem. I’ll also offer you the most favorable interest rate.”She felt delighted, not expecting such a significant deal so soon after her arrival.Due to the sizable amount, even with Yvonne’s assistance, it would still take two days to process.After signing over a dozen contracts, Seth and Mila stood up, preparing to leave.Yvonne also rose, extending her hand to shake Seth’s.Perhaps because she sat for too long or perhaps due to her high heels, she quickly lost balance. As she fell toward Seth, she cried out in surprise. “Ah!”That was when Seth sw
After Seth had eased the swelling on Yvonne’s foot, he suddenly wrinkled his nose. “Why is there a strange smell?”“It might be because this room hasn’t been cleaned recently,” Yvonne explained.Seth nodded, not thinking much of it. He then advised, “For the next few weeks, you should wear sneakers or flats. Your bones seem fragile, and they can easily fracture.”“Thank you, Mr. Yeager,” Yvonne sincerely thanked him.“You can rest here. We’ll leave on our own. No need to see us out.”The two headed outside. Upon leaving the bank, Seth checked the time, only to realize that it was already five in the afternoon.He declined Mila's invitation to visit a club and drove to the school to pick up Willow.Once in the car, Willow’s cold façade faded, revealing a bright and cheerful smile. She chattered about her day at school as Seth listened with a smile.When they approached their neighborhood, Seth informed her, “I bought a villa. We’ll be moving there now.”“What?”Willow was take
“What a beautiful woman!”“Am I dreaming? She’s like a Greek goddess who’s descended to earth!”“Hey pretty lady, what brings you here? Let me keep you company.”...These men, eyes gleaming with desire, ogled Willow. They were clearly entranced by her beauty.They were typically idle members of society, and they often made advances at pretty women they encountered.Willow instinctively moved behind Seth, finding the men’s menacing looks quite intimidating.“Hey, who’s this pretty boy? Your boyfriend?”“Look at him, so weak and skinny. I wonder if he can even take a punch.”“Sweetie, you have no future with a guy like him. Come with me instead.”...These men did not take Seth seriously at all.Judging by his lean and refined appearance, how strong could he be anyway?However, Willow’s innocent and captivating demeanor was irresistible to them. Their restraint was running thin, and they looked like they were about to make a move.Seth’s expression turned cold. “Is this ho
“Yeah, Mr. Yeager, we have families to support! Please don’t fire us.”They were incredibly arrogant earlier, but they appeared pitiful now.When Lambo heard their pleas, he immediately realized the gravity of the situation.Although he had known these men for a while, he now remained silent with a stern expression. These guys were clearly not thinking straight. Keeping them might cause even bigger problems later.It would be best if the new boss dismissed them now.Seth, with an icy demeanor, remained unmoved. “Enough. Settle your wages and leave!”Seeing Seth’s firm stance, the men became furious. Their threats were more overt as they rolled up their sleeves.Each one of them had a dangerous glint in their eyes.“Mr. Yeager, are you really pushing us to this point?”“You should know, we have many brothers outside. If you fire us, I guarantee this company won’t be able to operate peacefully anymore!”“That’s right. Why don’t both sides take a step back and maintain the pea
The motorcycles and vans came to a halt.Three people sat on each motorcycle, and when the doors to the vans opened, over a dozen people rushed out.In no time, they crowded the entrance to the company.“Who’s the one messing with my bro?”“Step forward and show yourself! Who’s bold enough to challenge us?”“Holy shit, there’s a stunning beauty here!”...After the 200 or so thugs got off their vehicles, their attention was quickly drawn to Willow.It was simply a fact. Even if she stood there doing nothing, she glowed like a gem, continually attracting gazes.One of the dismissed guards pointed angrily at Seth. “Guys, this is the man who wants to fire us. Let's take him down together, and the woman next to him will be ours!”The thugs laughed uproariously, brandishing various weapons as they advanced toward Seth.Willow turned pale and instinctively clutched Seth’s arm. “What do we do now, Seth?”Seth gently tousled her hair. “Do you trust me?”Willow nodded. “I trust you
This internal energy would not affect them under normal circumstances.However, if they got overly agitated or enraged, it would emerge, causing damage to their bodies.Simply put, if they refrained from wrongdoing, the internal energy within them would fade in a few months.“Get lost, and never let me see you again.”The men, feeling pardoned, did not dare to stay any longer. They scampered away as fast as they could.Seth, holding Willow’s hand, headed into the company.Lambo and the others did not dare to breathe loudly until Seth was out of sight. Then, they began whispering among themselves.“Boss, what’s the background of this Mr. Yeager?”“It’s terrifying how he took down over 200 grown men so effortlessly.”“Even TV dramas wouldn’t dare to depict this.”...Lambo’s expression darkened. “Don’t ask things you shouldn’t be asking. Let’s go upstairs and meet him. Whatever he says, we follow. No defiance!”Everyone nodded in agreement and followed Lambo into the company.
"In my opinion, many of you are not up to par and should be dismissed," Seth began. "Moreover, our company's operations must remain entirely legal in the future. Now, those whose names I call out, step forward!"Seth started naming names. He selected 25 individuals out of the 200 or so present. Among them, five were men while the remaining were all women. Seth had handpicked these individuals after he analyzed their facial features and deemed them relatively suitable.The rest of the employees who had not been called out began feeling uneasy. Could it be that Seth was going to fire all of them? They all wondered anxiously what was going to happen next.Seth then continued, "I've reviewed your salary structure for the past six months. On average, you're earning around 8,000 dollars per month."This was a pretty good salary in Jonesville as the average person's monthly income was typically around 4,000 to 5,000 dollars.Just when they were feeling nervous, Seth said something that l
