Noticing that the majority of shareholders chose to pull out, Trevor cracked a triumphant smile.Soon afterward, he looked toward Liam and Sadie with a sneer.“Why? Are you going to keep our shares forcefully? Liam, why haven’t you started drafting the contract yet?”“You’re constantly trying to figure out a way to take my shares, aren’t you? Now that the opportunity is right before you, why haven’t you taken it? Don’t you want it anymore?”“Trevor…” Liam’s eyes were ignited with rage, and he had never felt so close to killing a man badly.Miles sneered and said, “I’m the CFO and have the authority to make a decision. Everyone, I shall have my staff draft up a contract and then have them pull out!”“How dare you, Miles!?”“What a joke! What don’t I dare to do, huh?”Miles expressed his contempt and pulled out his phone soon afterward in preparation to order his subordinate to start drafting the contract.All of a sudden, the sound of someone knocking on the door interrupted th
By the time Mr. Carlson walked into the boardroom, everyone in the boardroom was stunned!“Hello, Mr. Wolfenden, Ms. Wolfenden.”Mr. Carlson greeted both of them with a smile on his face.Liam and Sadie stood up incredulously, while Liam had even stepped forward in haste.His expression was filled with shock when he asked, “A-Are you Mr. Carlson from Apex Investment Partners?”Mr. Carlson smiled and said, “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wolfenden. I’m Albert Carlson.”The expressions of Trevor and the others changed drastically in succession, and they wondered why Albert from Apex Investment Partners would show up here.They felt uneasy!Chandler, Daryl, and the other shareholders were so astounded that they expressed their fear, panic, and uneasiness on their faces. Albert was a renowned investor, and Apex Investment Partners was one of the top investment companies in Skyriv. A large number of projects that they invested in would receive impressive results in the end.In fact, t
Yeager’s gaze turned cold, and he was extremely displeased.Meanwhile, Sadie gave the order by saying, “Yeager, please kick Mr. Irvin out of the building!”Sadie was just as pleased with Chandler’s current situation as how arrogant he was during the meeting earlier.“Yes, Ms. Wolfenden!”Another security guard joined Yeager upon saying that, and they dragged Chandler out of the room.“How dare you do this to me!? You b*st*rds!”Chandler shouted with all his might, but no one paid any attention to him. Daryl initially wanted to snatch the contract as well, but he figured that it would be best for him to save himself some grace after witnessing Chandler’s outcome.The boardroom quieted down substantially.Sadie took a glance at Kayson, her eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze was slightly peculiar. She found the incident that transpired today to be rather magical.Albert’s appearance turned the tables for them completely!Sadie looked toward Trevor and the others and sneered aft
“Him, huh?” Sadie did not put much thought into it and said calmly, “He’s the deputy team leader of The Tetrad in our company’s projects department. His name is Kayson Yarde.”“I can see that he seems to be very close to you, Mr. Wolfenden. I believe he’s more than just a staff member of the company, right?”As Albert spoke, he chuckled and said, “I can see that the young man has good potential. I bumped into him while I was getting into the building, and he brought me here.”“So, that’s how it happened, huh?” Sadie found it strange and wondered how Kayson knew that someone was coming to help the company in advance.She understood the situation by now.“There’s nothing unusual about his relationship with the company. If you really wish to dwell deep into this, I suppose you can say that my grandfather holds him in high regard.”“Ah! In truth, I find that the young man is quite dependable too.”Liam was not fond of wasting time discussing Kayson, so he chuckled and diverted the t
Albert was sweating on the inside. If he were to acquire the stock rights, he figured that Michael would send a warning to him by tomorrow!No one knew, but in reality, the Whitman family had full control over Apex Investment Partners.Albert was only a professional investor employed by the Whitman family.Had it not been out of concern for overdoing things, Albert had even planned on giving away $30,000,000 to the company without asking anything in return.Upon hearing that, Sadie realized that it would be inappropriate for her to comment further, so she assured Albert by saying, “Don’t worry, Mr. Carlson, we promise that we will grow Wolfenden Corp. for the better!”“I believe in your capability, Ms. Wolfenden,” said Albert smilingly. “If there’s no objection, we may draft the contract immediately. I have my official stamp with me, so I can sign the contract right here and now.”“Sure!” Sadie called for her secretary to make the necessary arrangements. Just as Sadie and the
At Wolfenden Corp.…The discussion regarding the shares was completed between Sadie and Albert in Boardroom No.1, and the contract had been signed.Albert kept his copy and got up with a smile. “I should head back since we’re done. My investment of $30,000,000 will be transferred to your company account latest by tonight.”Liam looked serious when he replied, “Alright, thank you, Mr. Carlson!”“No worries. I’ve invested in various fields, but construction is my first. I hope Wolfenden Corp. will be able to generate a huge return for me.“If Wolfenden Corp. can progress to Triumph Land’s scale in the future, I’ve hit the jackpot today.”Triumph Land was one of the top construction companies in Skyriv. Such height was something Liam had never dared think of. After all, they could not even dominate Clouspring. Thus, achieving a status like Triumph Land’s felt like a fantasy.Despite that, Sadie was a young, fearless lady as she answered with a determined gaze, “I’ll work hard and n
“Of course not. Ms. Wolfenden is going to repay them.”Sean’s expression morphed into one of rage immediately. “How is this resolved? It’s just jumping from one hellhole to another hellhole!”“Don’t worry, Mr. Batley. Someone’s invested in the company. $30,000,000 in total. No biggie.”“What!?” Sean was astounded. Who had been so generous to invest such a massive amount of money!?The Solo’s chief, Iris, came out to get water at that moment.Kayson squinted and greeted her with a smile, “Ms. Coleman, getting a drink?”Iris did not like Kayson, or rather, she did not like anyone from The Tetrad. That was why she merely nodded at him coldly and ignored him.Kayson did not mind, saying with a smile, “I have good news for you. Mr. Trevor and Mr. Miles Lawson were both kicked out of the company.”Iris’ hand jolted and spilled the water in her glass as she looked up at Kayson in disbelief.“What nonsense are you on!?” barked Iris.Kayson spread his hands and replied innocently, “I’
Quincy, Tommy, and Xavier left the company forlornly. If they did not leave now but waited until words got out about their relatives betraying the company, they would be subjected to judging looks from others.With three out of the seven heirs leaving, including Kayson, The Tetrad’s “Wolfenden royalty” was reduced to five people.Easton, Reva, and the others were visibly crestfallen.At that moment, Michael called Kayson.“Mr. Yarde, are you happy with the current outcome?”“Not too bad.” Kayson did not know what to say since Sadie had chased him out, but he thought that something decent should result from this.Michael was relieved. “Don’t worry. We definitely didn’t show any sign of having any sort of ties with the Wolfendens.”“Alright, thank you.”The Whitman family’s enemy was not someone average, while Kayson would return to the peaceful little village two to three months later. It would be impossible for him to keep staying and protecting Sadie and her family. It was why
This enraged Abel, so he directly destroyed the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce. The central part of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce had already turned into ruins. The members who did not get to flee in time were buried underneath the rubble, their state of life unclear.Abel did not care one bit about this.Seth and others were nowhere to be seen, so he had asked Taylor to run a search for them, swiftly coming to the Tinsleys. Then, he found out that Kayson had taken them to Admiralporium for refuge.Abel’s expression was cool and impassive when he came to Admiralporium again.Felicity, Shien, Campian, and the others who had returned appeared in unison to stop them.Taylor scoffed. “Has Admiralporium stooped to become Kayson Yarde’s lackey? How cheap and despicable. I’ll report it honestly when I go back!”Felicity looked frosty as she ignored Taylor and behaved professionally.“If you’re here as guests, Admiralporium welcomes you. But if you’re here for trouble, you’re prohibi
Kayson did not have the courage to perform mind expansion in Admiralporium because it was not an ordinary place. On the other hand, Chase had never taken him to the weapon warehouse either. Otherwise, he would have discovered the septmetal energy here. He had the vulcan fire energy of the fire element, evergreene energy of the wood element, the aquale energy of the water element, and the septmetal energy of the metal element that he was about to harvest. He had already gathered four out of the five energies of five elements. He would have all five elements by the time he gathered the earth energy. Moreover, he would become a smasher who possessed a darksoul and a lightsoul. Warren appeared astounded upon hearing Kayson’s remark. ‘Is there really something impressive in the tattered spear?’He was a warlord, yet how did he not notice it?Even though he held the post of Admiralporium’s chief, he would frequently travel because there were very few disastrous incidents in Skyriv.
’Why would I need a hammer?’ Kayson was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. “Have you ever heard of Heavenless?”Warren’s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, “I’ve heard it before, of course! This is an extremely well-known sword technique!“Delmont Hamilton from Northspring fought against the most skilled sword genius, Ezekiel Turner, by using Heavenless in the past!”“Do you think I can break the defense of the Cadogans’ Steel Screen man if I can perform the first form of Heavenless that is a hundred times more powerful than Mr. Hamilton Sr.’s move?”Warren stood up from his seat swiftly and said incredulously, “Y-You’re trained in Heavenless too!? I thought the sword technique had vanished together with Delmont?”Next to him, Master Shannong said, “Could it be that Delmont… is still alive?”Kayson nodded and said, “Mr. Hamilton Sr. is still alive and passed down Heavenless to me.“However, I don’t have a sword that is strong enough because ordinary swords can’t withstand
Kayson was pondering when the sound of rushed footsteps was heard coming from outside the Tinsleys’ home. He raised his head to look and said in astonishment, “Mr. Jackson, Master Shannong, what brings you here?”Seth’s head was drenched in a cold sweat as he said in fear, “The Cadogans are here, Mr. Yarde. They are planning on killing me, my son, and Master Shannong.“We packed up overnight and took most of our credit cards as well as our asset contracts with us. We came looking for you in a haste after learning that you’re at the Tinsleys’ home, Mr. Yarde.”Master Shannong was a skilled fighter, so he remained calm and composed despite being under the immense pressure caused by the Cadogans. Seth and Lex were different. They were panic-stricken and regarded Kayson as their only chance of survival. “Mr. Yarde, will you be able to deal with the Cadogans?” Seth looked at Kayson in a hopeful manner.Kayson shook his head. “I think that there’s a high probability of failure for
Chase’s expression changed ever so slightly. “Shall we inform Kayson then?”“Hmm, reach out to him and inform him that this man has already completed his Steel Screen training and that he is able to make a clean sweep of Skyriv if he wants. If Kayson were to get into a conflict with this man, he would most certainly be on the losing side.”…Kayson arrived at the Tinsleys’ home. Jeremy did not come forward to welcome his arrival, but it was Tyrone. He asked when he met Tyrone, “Grandpa Tyrone, where is Uncle Jeremy?”Tyrone heaved a sigh and said, “Jeremy has been summoned for a discussion. I just found out that there has been pressure from Metrocity’s Cadogans.”Kayson furrowed his eyebrows. ‘It’s the Cadogans from Metrocity again!’“Is Uncle Jeremy in danger?”Tyrone shook his head. “Don’t worry about his safety. It’s only that… the Cadogans will try to figure out a way to send Jeremy to jail.”Kayson was astonished. It would be his fault if Jeremy was framed and sent to
As soon as Taylor’s voice died away, Drake came running to them, his face ghastly pale. “Patrol Yost, Mr. Cadogan, Warren… Chief Kline and the others are back!”Drake’s expression was filled with fear and panic. Randall had told him that Warren was doomed after being encircled by many warlords.Yet, he did not expect that Randall would be beaten to death by Kayson not long after his return. On the other hand, Warren returned safely, while Chase and Ruby were fine as well.If that were the case, he was certain that he would be taken out as well in view of being Randall’s trusted subordinate!Drake remained panic-stricken. So what if the Cadogans were involved? Taylor and the Cadogans could walk away without any responsibility at any moment. How about him? He would still need to continue to hold his post in Admiralporium!Meanwhile, three figures with overbearing auras appeared before Abel and the others.The leading person was precisely Warren.Warren glanced at Drake before
Taylor had very little experience interacting with body practitioners, yet he had heard about Steelification Doyen’s grand reputation. He figured that Steelification Doyen’s reputation must not be so unworthy, right?Noticing Taylor’s disbelief, Abel smiled nonchalantly and said, “Master Steele, Patrol Yost is not a body practitioner, so why don’t you show him the power of Steel Screen?”Tegan, who looked to be a little over 50 years old, stood up. Taylor’s expression changed ever so slightly. He had experience fighting against Kayson, so he believed that he had a right to comment on Kayson’s capability. On the other hand, Tegan was a newly-recruited skilled fighter of the Cadogans, whom he had never heard of before.The Steel Screen’s reputation was widely-known, but he had never encountered skilled fighters trained in the Steel Screen. As such, he had no idea how powerful they could be.“Alright, I shall give it a try then!”Taylor did not reject the offer. Both of them arri
Kayson said with a calm expression, “I know. Don’t worry about that. These people are coming for me.”Beckham’s expression was solemn, and he appeared even more worried. “Mr. Yarde, do you know which influential figure or family from Metrocity it is specifically?”“Ah, I know. It’s the Cadogans from Metrocity.”Beckham and Christine’s expressions changed drastically in unison at once. “The Cadogans… from Metrocity?”Both of them were rendered speechless from fear.Christine’s face turned ghastly pale when she said, “H-How did you offend the Cadogans from Metrocity? You’ve truly broken the limits of mankind!”Beckham also said in a fearful tone, “The Cadogans from Metrocity… Mr. Yarde, we’re in deep trouble! Even though the Cadogans are based in Metrocity, they’re immensely powerful.“They can still affect our business in Skyspring despite being miles away!”Kayson smiled and said casually, “You will only need to manage the company’s operations. I will deal with the Cadogans f
Casey’s expression changed dramatically upon noticing the situation. He pointed at her and said in a stern voice, “You ungrateful wench! Since all of you wish to die so badly, I shall fulfill your wish!”Meanwhile, the boardroom’s door was blasted open by force, and Kayson walked into the room with long strides. He looked toward Casey and said nonchalantly, “Who did you say you’re going to kill?”Christine turned around abruptly and felt instantly relieved when she saw Kaysson was there. After all, the company belonged to Kayson, and she did not wish anything bad to happen to it.Hence, she showed her humility when she was dealing with these people. A slightly resentful gaze emerged on Christine’s face with light makeup on. “Boss, I was truly afraid that I wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure if you still didn’t show up.”Kayson was rendered speechless. He said, “You’re a skilled fighter, yet you are scared of him?”Christine said in frustration, “I didn’t dare to fight
