Rove went viral overnight. As Kaze said, it went viral across the country. Due to the lack of stock and high demands, Rove was having a problem meeting customers’ demands—consider it a first-world problem. All the other investment firms saw the high potential in Rove’s future, so they sent a dozen investors to Lilyrose. Hart’s ward was filled with a crowd. “Mr. Lyfe, the Red Mount Capital is willing to invest in Rove. One nod is needed and we will provide you with the best investment offer and solution. Mr. Lyfe, I bet you have heard of Red Mount Capital’s reputation in the investment world.” “Hmph! Red Mount Capital is nothing! We, Green Source Foundation, are better! Mr. Lyfe, don’t listen to him! He’s not sincere at all. We can invest two hundred million in Rove!” “Stop fighting with us! Yellow Stream Capital can satisfy every price you have in mind, Mr. Lyfe! We will not interfere with your management. Some people might be aiming at your company with their investment,
The investors from all over the country knew nothing about Kaze. They utilized every connection and resource they had to find out his background. Tank Gebach, a local South River resident and also the owner of South River Group, had gotten information regarding Kaze from a Lilyrosean. “A guy who married into a second-tier family, Shangrila Group’s chairman, and the one who orchestrated the whole thing with Lil Dee, the pain in the ass for Samson Hobbs… This guy is interesting.” Tank chuckled when he got the report from his assistant right outside the hospital. “Book a suite in the most expensive hotel in Lilyrose and then invite Kaze Lee to dinner,” Tank said. The female assistant was surprised. She blurted, “Mr. Gebach, this man is a piece of trash. Isn’t this a little overkill? There’s a line waiting to invite you to dinner, sir.” Tank was also a famous figure in the investment world, enjoying the same status as Samson. South River Group was also a powerful and resource
“What would that be?” Tank asked. Astral said, “You gave my brother a Koenigsegg the other day right?” “Yeah, I remember it. Someone gave it to me, but I’m too old to drive something so fancy, so I gave it to Young Master Leigh as a birthday present. What about that car?” Tank just came back from vacation, so he did not know about the car. “My stupid brother drove it to Lilyrose and got beaten up by someone there. The car was taken and now he’s in the hospital with his leg in a cast. What a disgrace,” Astral said coldly. He did not sympathize with Leigh. It was normal for a big and wealthy family to encounter one or two problems along the way. Astral and Leigh were Zel’s sons but they were from different mothers, so the connection was weaker. Tank’s company was also partially funded by the Glitters but he was in no position to poke his nose into their family affair. He asked, “What would you like me to do?” Astral said, “There’s a woman named Darcy Quint. I heard sh
“Who is Tank Gebach?” Kaze only knew about the invitation from Tank when he received a call from Winnie. He did not want to answer it but when he saw the location of the meetup, it piqued his interest. Taurus Automobiles’ supercar club branch again. “Mr. Chairman, Tank Gebach is the chairman of South River Group and also a famous investor in the investment world, like Samson Hobbs. He has a mysterious background, so not much is known about him. I believe he’s asking for a meeting because of Rove,” Winnie said succinctly. The moment Rove went viral, Golden Edge saw a surge in customers, which solved one of her problems. As for Tank’s mysterious background, it was just another way of saying which family he was affiliated with. To the normal people, Samson was also considered mysterious but when one achieved a higher status, one would know that he was just the lapdog for the Lee family. “Fine. I don’t have anything to do at night either, I’ll go meet this guy.” Kaze agre
The Red Foundation even got spammers and bribed media outlets to assist them in clearing their name. All the blame was shifted toward Kingston. It was he who abused his position as the South River Branch’s executive to collude with Desmond. With the help of online spammers and media outlets, the Red Foundation managed to claim the credit for reporting Kingston to the authority. The top brass then released another statement, claiming that they chose justice over helping one of their own. They reported Kingston to the police instead of covering the incident up, which ultimately sent Kingston behind bars. After all their effort, the Red Foundation was able to clear their name. With their influence, the negative impact from Kingston would be soon forgotten. An organization as big as the Red Foundation, which released recognition to smaller companies to aid their future development, would not be destroyed so easily by a mere PR crisis. “Let’s go in.” Darcy and the guild
“Lilian Wheel, what do you mean?” Darcy was upset. She did not expect Lilian to cause a scene upon meeting and even accused her of being a thief. “Playing dumb, are we? Am I not being clear enough?” Lilian pursed her lips and then looked at the other members. She pointed at Darcy and said loudly, “I believe not everyone knows who she is, right? This woman is Darcy Quint. She might be the president of the Lilyrose Commerce Guild and also the chairwoman of Sky Ocean Corporation, but she’s a thief! “She and her husband are car thieves! Look at the Koenigsegg outside! I believe everyone in our club knows who it belongs to, right?” Lilian went over to the window and pointed at the most amazing car outside. All the members went over to the window to have a look. “Isn’t that Leigh’s favorite car? It’s his new toy. We even saw it when he got it in Sunrise!” “Yeah! That’s Young Master Leigh’s car! Why is she driving it?” There were only six units of Koenigsegg One:1 in the who
Pft! Lilian laughed out loud. “Hahaha! You guys heard her? A Maserati Quattroporte?” “Hahaha!” All the other club members laughed loudly. “Sweetie, I’m sorry to say but driving a Maserati Quattroporte isn’t allowed to join us!” “You must be kidding us! A two million car was smashed and Leigh compensated you with a fifty million Koenigsegg?” “Do you think Young Master Leigh is stupid, or we are stupid?” The club members continued to laugh. Who would compensate for a two million car with a fifty million car? Not even a monkey would believe that. Darcy was shocked. “That car is worth fifty million?” She knew the car she drove was expensive but not that expensive. She could afford it, but she would never spend it on a car. “You keep telling yourself that.” Lilian crossed her arms and scoffed. “She’s taking us as fools. Young Master Leigh’s car is enough to buy twenty of your old car, yet you claimed you got it as compensation? You and your useless husband are th
“Ms. President!” The other guild members were shocked when Lilian slapped Darcy. They quickly stepped up to protect her and glared at Lilian. “Lilian Wheel, this is too much!” “How can you slap our president?” “You are just some person in charge of this supercar club! You have no right to choose violence!” The guild members stood up and defended Darcy. Not only did Lilian slap Darcy but her action was an insult to the Lilyrose Commerce Guild. Despite being scolded, Lilian reacted coldly and shook her hand. “Haha, you look down on us? Can’t you see we have that many club members here?” Following Lilian’s words, all the other club members were upset as well. Bang! A young man in his early 20s slammed the table and got up, shouting at the guild members, “You bastards! You look down on us? My father is one of the execs at South River Commerce Institute! Tell me your company’s name!” A woman wearing a baseball cap, smoking a cigarette, said, “My father is also a member
