"That's a great idea." Tim's eyes lit up as he grasped his daughter's plan. "You mean I can use my identity as Serena's uncle, leveraging her and the Serena Group's name for business dealings? We can also gather funds and expand Swift Group?""Not just Serena's name. I think we can even use Xayne's name. Imagine, if we discreetly meet with potential clients and they hear it's connected to the King of the North, won't they be eager to cooperate?" Sophia's face gleamed with cunning and pride."You have a point, but I'm afraid those people might not be so easily fooled," Tim said, considering the feasibility of the plan."Come on, Dad, how will we know if we don't try? It's certainly better than letting Swift Group continue its decline. If it works, we'll hit the jackpot," Sophia urged."Alright. Let's give it a shot. You start by identifying those high-potential partners. We need to get to them before Serena Group does," Tim instructed."Got it. Leave it to me," Sophia said, support
"A million?!" Calvin's eyes widened in shock. Such an absurd demand right off the bat felt like a blatant extortion."Well, the project's profit share alone will match that amount. If you're not interested, we won't force you. Let's go, Sophia," Tim said nonchalantly, standing up as if ready to leave."Who would've thought our first potential partner would be so short-sighted? What a shame, really," Sophia added, shaking her head in feigned disappointment.This was part of the act they had rehearsed, perfectly synchronized to manipulate their target."Wait, wait, I never said I wouldn't invest. Of course, I'll invest a million dollars. I just want to confirm with Serena Group first to ensure you truly represent them." Calvin hastily blocked their path."Mr. Calvin, business is built on trust. Your actions suggest you don't trust us. If that's the case, there's no point in continuing this discussion," Tim said, pretending to leave again."Okay, it's my fault for lacking trust. Let
Hearing this, Tim laughed heartily. "Serena, are you out of your mind? When did I do these things? I don't know what you're talking about. Don't falsely accuse me. I could sue you for defamation.""You...." Serena was so furious that her chest heaved with anger."What illegal profiteering? You make it sound so bad. Let me tell you, Serena, don't be disrespectful. Even if I did use your company’s name, what can you do about it? I've already put the word out. If there's trouble, they'll come after you, not me," Tim said nonchalantly. He had tampered with the contracts so that they couldn't be traced back to him."Tim, I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure you won't return the money?" Serena demanded, her voice shaking with rage."I won't. As a member of the Swift family, you share responsibility for the company. Now that I'm making Swift Group thrive again, you should be thanking me," Tim said smugly."What nonsense. Are you thriving on your own merits? You’re just illegally usin
Hearing this, Serena asked, "What are you planning to do?"Xayne looked at Serena seriously and asked, "Do you want to take back Swift Group?"Serena was stunned. Swift Group was her grandfather's life's work. However, with her grandfather gone and his past cruelty still fresh in her mind, she felt conflicted. Still, the idea of reclaiming Swift Group appealed to her."Yes." Serena nodded."Then, it's settled. I'll handle this. You just stay here and wait for my good news," Xayne said before leaving the company.As he exited the building, Xayne called Ritchie. "Bring some men and lock down Folksworth Airport. Bring those two back to me.""Yes, sir," Ritchie replied respectfully.He quickly assembled a hundred soldiers, fully armed, and headed straight to the airport.At the airport, Tim and Sophia were just about to board their flight when over a hundred armed soldiers stormed in, surrounding them.Tim raised his hands in fear, his face pale with terror. "What are you doing?"
"Ah! My head! It's going to explode!" Tim cried out in agony.At that moment, he felt as if his head was being crushed.The excruciating pain made his entire body tremble."Are you going to agree or not?" Xayne coldly demanded, his eyes flashing with a chilling light."Yes. Please, just lift your foot. It feels like my head is going to explode," Tim pleaded through his pain.He did not expect that Xayne could be so ruthless.Xayne snorted disdainfully as he lifted his foot and looked down at Tim, who was lying on the floor. "Number two, that 70 million will be considered as Serena buying out all the shares of Swift Group. Starting today, Swift Group is no longer yours, Tim. It belongs to Serena.""What?!" Hearing this, Tim scrambled up from the ground, his face filled with rage as he shouted at Xayne. "What did you say?! Buying out the Swift Group? Are you trying to force me out? Xayne, you must be dreaming. I will never agree to this!""Is that so?" Xayne's voice was icy.W
After everything was settled, Xayne returned to Serena Group and told Serena about the events without any concealment.She had the right to know.After hearing Xayne's account, Serena was silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you, my love."Xayne replied with a faint smile, "No need to thank me. From now on, the Swift Group is yours. Tim and his family won't dare to show their faces in Venzor or Folksworth anymore."Serena nodded and sighed.Although Xayne's methods were ruthless, they were perhaps the best way to solve the problem.Meanwhile, Tim and Sophia left Folksworth in a disheveled state. Once they returned to Venzor, they began packing up their belongings, preparing to leave both the Swift family and Venzor.A group of armed soldiers were waiting right outside their door.When Tim saw the soldiers, he fell to his knees and shouted, "Xayne, are you trying to exterminate us completely?!""Get in the car," the soldiers coldly ordered, pushing Tim and his family into t
Hearing this, Xayne inhaled sharply.Two hundred thousand suicide squad called the Drakon Slayer Legion are infiltrating various military theaters.Each piece of information was enough to shake Drakonia to its core.If Hanwan was able to recruit such a massive force, he should not be underestimated."What else?" Xayne asked.Dragos replied, "Additionally, while we were investigating information about Hanwan, we encountered some resistance. Interestingly, this resistance vanished quickly after which we obtained the current information we have. Drakon King, I suspect someone might be guiding us in investigating Hanwan."Xayne frowned and pondered for a moment, hands clasped behind his back."Is this force friend or foe?" Xayne asked.Dragos's face grew serious as he shook his head. "We haven't been able to determine that yet. This force is very covert and strange. No matter how we investigate, we can't find any trace. Drakon King, could it be that someone else wants to target Han
On the other end of the line, Black Dragon, who was at the South Canyon Military Theater Combat Operations Headquarters, answered Xayne's call with a chuckle. "Commander Xayne, what's the rush? What's up?"Xayne replied calmly, "Leavekon Villa in Westsand is under your jurisdiction, right?"Black Dragon frowned and quickly checked the location on his map. "Yes, it's within my jurisdiction. But Westsand is near the coast and separated from Baicilly by a sea. It's also a border area. Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"Xayne's expression grew serious. "You should have heard about Hanwan."Upon hearing Hanwan's name, Black Dragon's expression turned grave, and his eyes filled with concern. "I've heard about him. What's going on?""Hanwan just called me and invited me to meet him at Leavekon Villa in Westsand.""Hanwan contacted you?" Black Dragon's heart skipped a beat. Hanwan was a legendary figure from the previous Emperor's era."What are you planning to do?" Black D
