Cronus went straight back to bed.He had been through a lot as a prominent underworld kingpin for two decades. The incident was no reason to lose himself yet. Despite what had happened, he could still have a good night’s sleep. However, the same could not be said for the top three families. They had received two pieces of bad news. Angel dropped a message that the Novoelite Alliance was closing in on them, but they did not feel the strain. The other piece of news drove the family heads to call for an emergency meeting at the Chapmans’ residence. “Edward, Flint, I found my daughter.” Belarus dove straight to the point when the two family heads hurried over. “Where?” Edward and Flint looked at him. Belarus said solemnly, “Tiffany took Lilyrose Strategic Department Logistic Division’s Commissioner Renslayer to Springvile District to choose a mansion. Commissioner Renslayer fancied the one resided by James’ family two years ago. “Tiffany wanted to procure mansion No. 9

“What? One billion dollars for an invite? That’s daylight robbery.” Belarus was furious when Flint relayed the price. Even though Albert was the chief commander of the State Strategic Department, an invitation to attend his ceremony should not cost that much. Flint uttered, “I heard Albert trained under the God of War. He longed for an assignment from the God of War himself. I’m confident the God of War will be there.”“Seriously?” Edward had his doubts. “Even if the God of War is attending, one billion dollars for an invite is ridiculous. Maybe it’s a special price to scam us out of our money.” “Even if it is, I’m paying up.” Belarus interrupted him. “My family will be attending the ceremony. I don’t care if the money is for the God of War or Albert, I’m paying the one billion dollars. The things they can offer me in return outweigh the cost.” “That’s right. My family will be attending too.” Belarus managed to convince Flint. Edward let out a wry smile. “We are in t

It was Kaze’s idea to raise the price to one billion dollars per invitation to the ceremony. Kaze heard Tiffany and Martin talking at mansion No. 9 yesterday. He learned that the top three families wanted to befriend Albert through the ceremony. They wanted to utilize their connection with Albert to confront Kaze. It was amusing. Kaze decided to give the top three families what they wanted and so much more. The families’ wealth was stolen anyway. It was dirty money. Kaze and Draco chatted. Darcy had her usual briefing at Quintessential Group office building, listening to her department heads’ reports. “Presently, the group’s focus is on the Passion Fragrance project. All the preparations for the pre-sale are completed, and we are scheduled to open for pre-sale the day after tomorrow.“The 2-billion-dollar investment poured into the group enabled a bigger budget in marketing. With our solid relationships with the banks, we are starting to see a positive lift since the a

After taking control, Darcy gained more confidence. Her words sounded more dignified than before. Samus’ heart skipped a beat as he was frightened. Deborah had her hands curled around Vincent’s arm as she strutted over. “Darcy, you are in big trouble. Do you know what you have done? No one can save you this time.” “Enlighten me please, what did I do wrong?” Darcy sneered. She knew Samus and Deborah well enough to know they must possess some evidence to be this arrogant. “You will find out soon,” Vincent said coldly. Then, hurried footsteps came from the corridor and a group of uniformed men entered. The leader was a man in his early thirties. He scanned the room and ultimately locked his gaze on Darcy. “Darcy Quint? I am Han Feyan of the State Economic Investigation Division and we are currently investigating a case of business fraud. Please cooperate.” All the executives in the meeting room were shocked. The State Economic Investigation Division officers caused an

“Grandfather, I didn’t bribe Jean to sabotage the project!” Darcy looked at Master Quint, aggrieved. Deborah sneered, “If you didn’t do it, why would Jean expose you and not us?” “She’s accusing me! She’s slandering!” Darcy pointed at Jean, shouting, “You better make it clear! Since when did I give you money to sabotage the project? Do you have any proof?” “You want proof? I’ll give you proof!” Vincent scoffed. If they were not prepared, the Hanser family would not dare to frame Darcy. He slammed several documents on the table. One of them was Jean’s bank statement. It clearly showed a million dollars credited to her bank account a day before she went missing. The source was from the finance department of Quintessential Group. There was also the invoice from the finance department and Darcy was the person who approved the transaction. Her signature was on the document! Master Quint had a look at the documents and was infuriated. He tossed the papers in Darcy’s face.

“Rudy can be the CEO. I’ve misunderstood him before.” Master Quint’s words delighted Rudy and his family even more. However, the executives refused to accept it. “Mr. Chairman, Ms. Quint is still under investigation. She might be framed. If you want to elect a new CEO, you would have to wait for the investigation result first!” “Yeah! Ms. Quint is competent and we all know that! We believe in her!” echoed other executives as they voiced their support for Darcy. Darcy might be new in the position but everyone saw the effort she put into the company. They refused to return to the previous management where Rudy and his family were in control.Calling them cowards and useless was an understatement. “Who said that!? Get up!” Samus went over to the executive who voiced his support for Darcy and slapped him in the face. “You piece of shit! Darcy is arrested now and you are still defending her? Get out of here! You are fired!” He punched and kicked the executive and threw th

Rudy had made a deal with the Hansers to let them take over Passion Fragrance District and in return, they agreed to help kick Darcy out of the company and the rights to sell the houses in Passion Fragrance District would be theirs. Rudy agreed without a second thought. Vincent would be his son-in-law soon, so he could use this chance to strengthen the bond between the two families. With a first-tier family’s support, Rudy’s position would also solidify within the family. Master Quint would not be able to relieve him of his duty at will. He would have to think twice. “No, we’ll just delay the pre-sale and wait for the coast to clear,” Master Quint disagreed. He was anxious but he managed to think straight. He refused to give the Hanser family control of their core project. “Grandfather, we cannot delay the pre-sale. The whole world thinks our company is having a problem and we must prove them wrong! Or else no one will buy our houses!” Samus said, trying to dissuade Mas

Agnes knew Kaze had nothing to do with this but she vented her anger on him anyway. Kaze did not say a word. As a matter of fact, he had made the necessary calls to inquire about what happened. Then, Miru came to the house. “You can’t even protect your wife, what good are you?” she sneered at Kaze as soon as she saw him. She then pulled her phone out for a call. “Mayor Brooks, I’m Miru Scarlet, goddaughter of Alan Cummingham. I want to know about the charges my friend, Darcy, faces. Can you do something about it? A million bucks is not a huge amount.” She did not care if Darcy was framed or not, she just wanted to do whatever she could to get her out. Johnson said, “Ms. Scarlet, I’ve been paying close attention to Ms. Quint’s case and I’ve ordered the chief of police to investigate. I’ve also used every connection I have to make things happen. “But this case is handled by the state, and the state police are involved. The commissioner of the State Economic Investigatio

“Just tell me what you need, Arthur. You wouldn’t be calling unless you have received orders.” Philip was surprised to get a call from Arthur. Though they were acquainted, they had only communicated because of work. “We have just left Rising Sun. Don’t approve the films for now.” Arthur was blunt. “I can do that, but can I ask why?” Philip was caught in a dilemma because he had just promised Jet to release the films. Philip needed to know if the orders to delay came from a high power who could cover his ass. “Since you got a call from me, you should know that there are eyes on Jet. “You should know what you can and cannot say. Otherwise, you never know when you’re going to lose your job.” Arthur threatened. Philip was reluctant. He accepted Jet’s payment, and now he had to go back on his word. Nevertheless, Arthur was part of the Viper’s Den, and his status was rather unique. Arthur provided services to confidential individuals. These individuals were elites among t
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3563 Trigger
A balanced, profitable dynamic had been developed among the ports in Butterworth. Jet spotted his chance in the lucrative port business. He covertly took out some money to invest in a dying port. The port was situated in a more remote area. Some businesspeople favored more accessible ports. This drove shippers away from the dying port. Jet snagged the steal and improved the logistics and facilities around the area. The port was up and running again. Business at the port was decent enough. As the Frosts would run their business through the port, the local economy took off too. It was a good thing. However, Jet set his sights on several residential buildings around the area. He needed space to accommodate containers. The land was required to make business at the port more profitable. This triggered a whole new thing. Jet could spend some money to buy the residents out of their homes. However, the residents preferred to stay put in their long-time homes. No a

“I’ll keep the bank cards for now. I’ll talk to our superiors and give you a decision. Since the man said that the cards are meant for us, they won’t be going anywhere.” Knox had no idea who Kaze was, but he knew Arthur was with the Viper’s Den. Arthur must be someone from high places. Eli soon put the little incident behind him. He got a call from Aloysius yesterday and was made aware of Jet’s plans. The films had been put on hold for far too long, and the people above Eli were anxious to get things moving. Though Eli was surprised by the review board’s visit, everything was still in his control. Eli left the matter at that without reporting the incident to the higher-ups. The flashy, red car sped along the road. Arthur kept looking back at Kaze, eager to find out about the next plan. Arthur brought Kaze out today to witness how Eli and his team operated. As it happened, Eli adopted such a shallow ploy. Arthur was not surprised, though. Eli’s methods were common.
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3561 Reconciliation
Eli dined offhandedly as if he had taken hold of the group. His words were layered with threat. “What? Are you trying to replace us?” Knox asked in disbelief. “I don’t have that power, but the investor does. I heard that he enjoyed dinner with your superiors. I’m sure the project will get the green light in no time. “Even if you didn’t approach me today, my team and I would have invited you out for a get-together.” Eli knew when to back down, easing the tension in the air. It was another type of reconciliation. Eli needed to go through the review board to get the rights to air the films. The carrot-and-stick approach was the best way forward. Kaze was surprised by the sophistication of Eli’s tactics. Still, he believed he had come to the right place. Sure enough, Jet would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Surely, he was bound to leave loose ends. Nevertheless, he probably did not care. Arthur cocked his head back to look at Kaze. Kaze grinned, unbothered
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3560 Bring Something Back
The purpose of the visit was to inform Rising Sun that the films did not make the cut. Since Rising Sun would not make the necessary amendments, the project would come to a halt. “Please, don’t. Since we are all here, we should talk it out.” It took Eli quite some effort to get the group to the hotel. Eli had plans to please the crowd, so he could not let them leave just yet. This went beyond getting the green light for the films. Eli needed to make the group happy. “There is nothing more to talk about. We can’t proceed unless you make the changes.” There was no way around it. Since Rising Sun refused to make the right amendments, and Knox had orders about putting a hold on Rising Sun’s films, that was one less problem for Knox to deal with. Eli could not let the group walk out on him. Hence, he quickly sent people in. Several thinly clad women entered, each holding a small bag. Despite the weightlessness, the bag appeared to be carrying something of substance. “You

For that reason, Rising Sun’s film productions were not cleared to be aired. “I told you the reason. The investor supplied us with the scripts, and we were told to base our productions on the scripts. Our hands are tied.”Eli would have made the amendments if he could. He knew where the problem lay. However, the company had to take the investor’s perspective into consideration. In the end, the films were yet to be approved for release. “I guess you won’t get the permission to air them then.” Knox was surprised that Rising Sun would not budge on the matter. Nevertheless, Knox and his team were not there to give the all-clear or talk some sense into Rising Sun. Knox and his team could care less about what Eli had to say. “We’re serious about getting the approval. “I’m sorry that we aren’t a better host for your visit today. Why don’t we move to the nearby hotel for a talk?” With the review board making an appearance, Eli knew there was still hope. If Eli did not grab

Arthur chuckled, his smile carrying a touch of sleaziness. “Oh, I see.” A realization dawned on Kaze. “Are you with quality control?” Several individuals in dark blue suits approached. The men and women carried files and documents. Kaze nodded without a word. “We are just here to announce the results. We shouldn’t be long.” Arthur came forward to engage with them. The group was likely given the heads-up as they had the right number of people. They swaggered into Rising Sun’s building. The general manager straightened up his tie in a fluster and walked out. None of the film productions made the cut yet, and the delay was costing the company money by the day. At this rate, the project would go down under. Eli, the general manager, rushed to the entrance upon learning the news. The review team was there to do one final check. The films would get the green light if the board found that everything was up to par. The head office would stop putting pressure on

Given Kaze’s status, Alfonso knew better than to have him waiting under the hot sun. Of course, he would send his people to be on standby for Kaze’s arrival. Peter only came to the rescue when Kaze was pestered by some street gang. Alfonso’s omission of Kaze’s identity led to this hiccup. Kaze did not care one bit about the incident. Heck, he did not even bring it up. Arthur straightened his back nervously, becoming even more cautious behind the wheel. “You knew, but why didn’t you say anything, Mr. Lee? You didn’t even tell on us.” Arthur could not understand why. However, he had more respect for the man. “I didn’t see a point. You’ll learn what happens when you displease me, so I won’t bother telling you now.” Kaze was mild-mannered as ever. He spoke softly without a hint of anger. All the more Arthur revered him. “Mr. Lee, we didn’t do our jobs right. We didn’t know who you were.“But my duty is to protect you in the dark. “We saw you getting out of the train
Guardian-In-Law Chapter 3556 Rising Sun
“Rising Sun is a media company. Several of their films are about to be released. They are trying to get them approved to air due to some censorship issues.” Arthur took out a document. “Are there any issues with the films? Why aren’t they approved yet?” Kaze asked curiously. Kaze had no idea. “There are some issues. They aren’t fit to be aired. “Typically, there aren’t a lot of restrictions for film productions so long as the themes aren’t sensitive topics. “But these films featured altered history. The company has been asked multiple times to make revisions, but the films still don’t make the cut.” The Viper’s Den’s members were not privy to the information. The Frosts were insignificant. Kaze was after the Frosts. Otherwise, the Viper’s Den would not waste its resources on a mere film production company. Jet’s investment of nearly ten million bucks in Rising Sun caught the Viper’s Den’s attention. The delayed approval of the films would be catastrophic to the in
