There were three prestigious families in Clouspring. There were the Whitmans, the Allens, and the Waltons.The three families had absolute power over Clouspring, and they were the ones that supported many companies from the shadows.Therefore, most of the famous people in Clousprin were related to them.Hendrick from the Whitmans was a great man. He was famous in Clouspring, and his name was also widely known by the people in Skyspring.His words were the absolute orders back in his prime. Even though he had retired and passed everything to his son, Michael, he was still someone to be reckoned with, and no one dared to go against him despite his old age.Even until now, although Michael was already in his mid-40s and had full control over the resources and connections of the Whitmans, some people still claimed that the Whitmans’ pillar was Hendrick instead of Michael.Whether this was actually the case or not, no one knew. However, the assassination attempts that Hendrick fac
Hendrick’s face turned grim upon hearing what the person said.At that moment, Raymond got back on his feet.Hendrick looked at him and asked, “Captain Campell, is there another way?”Suddenly, Raymond pulled his phone out and tossed it in front of Hendrick with deadly precision. Hendrick lowered his head and saw a message on the phone's memo that read: [Mansion No. 8 in the Kingstone Garden. Look for Mr. Kayson Yarde.]“I’ll hold them off!” Raymond let out a roar and threw himself at the two powerful opponents.Hendrick and his family rose to their feet and left in their car through the back door.When the assassins once again stopped them, Raymond's men showed up and held them back.Hendrick and his family entered the car, started the engine, and ran away.At that moment, Raymond was sent flying out of the mansion, his face dyed red with his blood.He landed on the ground with a meaty smack, but he got up very soon and dashed forward rapidly.In the meantime…Kayson was
“What’s your name, young man?” Hendrick, who had just escaped death, hurriedly approached Kayson and greeted him. Even though he held a position of high regard, he still treated Kayson with respect.“Kayson.”Hendrick was momentarily stunned before exclaiming, “So, you’re Mr. Kayson Yarde that Captain Campell mentioned!?”‘Captain Campell?’Kayson nodded. “You’re talking about Raymond, right?”“Mr. Yarde!” Raymond ran over despite his serious injuries.After Hendrick and his family had gotten into the car, he quickly ran in Kayson’s direction.Therefore, he was a lot faster than Hendrick and his family since they still needed to make several turns.Initially, he planned to join forces with Kayson to get rid of these assassins. It was just that he did not expect Kayson to be so powerful and to take care of them with practiced ease.‘Does this mean that he was just playing with me last night?’“Elder Master Whitman, this is Mr. Yarde. I’m sure you’ve seen his skills.”After th
Michael and his wife couldn’t believe what they had heard either.They had been there when Kayson fought the assassins. They had seen it clearly with their eyes that Kayson had only exchanged blows with most of the assassins once.In other words, he killed them all in one strike!?“When did a terrifying young man like him appear in Clouspring?” Hendrick was shocked. “Not only that, but this young man is staying in Mansion No.8 in the Kingstone Garden.”“Dad, if my memory serves me right, Mansion No.8 in the Kingstone Garden is the house for the chairman of Wolfenden Corp. and his family!” Michael chimed in sternly.“Mr. Hugh Wolfenden was an excellent fighter when he was young. After forming his family, he established Wolfenden Corp.”“Hugh Wolfenden… I’ve heard his name before!” Hendrick lowered his head slightly. After a while, he looked at Michael solemnly and said, “Keep an eye on Wolfenden Corp. From now onward, we’ll be supporting them!“Of course, we have to keep a low pr
The next morning, at the Wolfendens…“It seems like yesterday was another peaceful night. I wonder if the Primrose Deck was as peaceful.” Hugh started with the topic of yesterday’s incident.Sadie was feeling slightly frustrated and grumbled, “It was indeed slightly weird at Primrose Deck. It happens every once in a while and without notice.” “You better not run your mouth off like that. The VIPs at Primrose Deck are people who we cannot afford to offend,” Hugh warned Sadie.“Yes, Grandpa. This is like the ninth time you have reminded me!” replied Sadie.Meanwhile, Kayson was totally calm. As usual, he was quiet.Beatrice took an omelet, put it on his plate, and gently said, “Kayson, do eat more. It’s good for you.”“Thanks, Mrs. Wolfenden,” said Kayson.Beatrice smiled at him. There was just a glint in her eyes that hinted that she was thinking more than she was letting out.For the first time, Sadie proactively called out to Kayson after breakfast. “Kayson, can you please h
“It’s alright. You may leave us for now,” Sadie told Chelsea.Sadie then put down the document in her hand and looked at Miles. “Mr. Lawson, that’s not very polite of you.”Miles was so angry that he gritted his teeth while talking. “What is there to be polite of? Sadie Wolfenden, let me ask you, did you do it on purpose? Was it because you felt that Wolfenden Corp. was finally going to be controlled by me that you did something as disgusting as such?”Sadie’s face turned stone cold. She coldly instructed, “Mr. Lawson, you better mind your words!”Miles fumed. He was so angry that he just wanted to destroy everything in the office. He slammed the desk with both hands! “You b*tch! Six bank presidents have come to ask us to repay our loan. We have totally lost our cash flow, and you’re asking me to mind my words!?”Sadie’s expression changed. She jumped up from her seat and walked right out of her office. Miles tagged right behind her with a gloomy face.In the meeting room right n
Sadie was at a loss of how the situation had transpired to this.‘Why are the bank presidents demanding payment of debts simultaneously?‘Even though the company still has the fund to pay the debts, the fund is supposed to be used in the Dickinson International’s auction…‘It has already been decided at the higher level that the Dickinson International project will be handed over to us, but we will still need to go through the formalities first. The Dickinson International project will cost no less than $30,000,000!‘If our whole fund is used to pay the banks, what are we going to use to support us through the formalities in acquiring the project?‘If we can’t produce the fund, even Mr. Chappell will choose someone else to take over the project.‘If we don’t pay the debts, the company will be in a worse position. Yet, if we pay the debts, the company’s capital chain will likely fracture…‘Unless we can find someone else to invest in us!‘However, which idiot is going to invest
Liam put down the phone and sat on his chair, feeling upset. After a long time, he called out to his secretary with a bitter expression. “Notify the major shareholders to attend an emergency board of directors’ meeting.”The secretary left to notify the major shareholders while Liam tidied up his outfit, composed himself, and walked to Boardroom 1. A little over an hour later, the major shareholders from the board of directors arrived. Trevor and Miles looked at Liam and Sadie, their faces dull and gloomy.Trevor said coldly, “Mr. Wolfenden, I heard from Miles that the six bank presidents were here to seek repayment of debts. What’s going on with that?”The shareholders’ expressions changed drastically!‘The banks are pressing for payment of debts? Why?’Sadie’s expression was slightly unpleasant, but she brought herself to say, “They were here to seek repayment of debts indeed.”Miles said in a sarcastic tone, “I only wish to know if you’ve agreed to them, Ms. Wolfenden.
