"What an insolent young man with nothing but cheap talk! Do you know how much our mall is worth? It's a whopping one hundred and fifty million dollars! Looking at yourself. Let's put aside the fact that it's one hundred and fifty million dollars. Can you even afford it if it's just two million dollars? And you want to purchase our mall!"The manager's expression was full of ridicule. He deliberately mentioned that the mall was worth 150 million dollars because he wanted to call Liam's bluff. Then, he got so annoyed that he instructed the mall staff to kick Liam out."You there, kick this impudent young man out of here and blacklist him! From now on, he's not allowed to enter our mall!" the manager barked.Then, with a boastful look, he raised his eyebrow tauntingly at Liam. "Kid, are you sorry now? You have to pay for your lies!" Barbie was standing at the side and enjoying the flattery of her fans. Looking as proud as a pompous peacock with its head held high, Barbie said, "Hmph!
The manager who was slapped held his cheek and looked at Edward with a stunned expression. He was just about to say something when he was completely shocked by what Edward did next. Everyone else who was present was stunned too.Edward quickly walked toward Liam with a respectful demeanor. He looked nervous as he said to Liam, who was holding Jovie in his arms, "Mr. Cole, sorry to have frightened you. I apologize for coming late! I am Edward Lowe. As per your request, the ownership of the mall has now been transferred to your name!"This sentence made everyone gasp involuntarily.And that left the manager, Barbie's team, and her enthusiastic and mindless fans completely dumbfounded.What? Did this man buy the mall? Was the mall truly his at that moment?The manager was stupefied, and he dropped to the ground with his face as white as a sheet. He knelt on the ground and crawled toward Liam while constantly apologizing. His speech was incoherent as he stuttered, "M-Mr. Cole, I-I
Liam's expression was getting more and more sullen. There was a frosty glint that gleamed in his eyes. It looked like Barbie was not going to stop until she got a dose of reality.Liam no longer wanted to waste time with her. He just said in a cold voice, "Citron Entertainment, is it? You're only arrogant because you have your agency that you're proud of. Let's see how long you can stay cocky once the agency is gone. I don't care who your financial backers are, you have to apologize on your knees to my daughter today!" Liam was just finished when Barbie laughed arrogantly as if hearing the funniest joke in the world. She said disdainfully, "Do you think you're invincible just because you have some money? There are countless people far richer than you and more powerful than you! Money is not the only thing my agency has!"Barbie was full of pride while she was speaking. But she was full of disdain when she glanced toward Liam from the corner of her eye."That reminds me, yes, there
"Jovie, don't be afraid. Daddy will protect you." Jovie held onto Liam's neck softly, put her head on Liam's shoulder, and nodded gently, "Alright."Everyone at the scene looked at Liam in shock.They thought that Liam must have gone insane.That was Citron Entertainment! He gave another order over the phone. Would it work out just as it did earlier?Everyone continued to wait with curiosity for the drama to unfold.Barbie, however, snorted and continued to taunt Liam, "Now, I've seen it all! You have such good acting skills. It's a shame that you're not an actor! You even made a call. Do you think you can acquire Citron Entertainment with just a phone call like what you did with Christopher Mall? I'd like to see if my agency will make me apologize!" With that said Barbie took out her phone and called her representative in the agency. She said in a coquettish tone, "Cooper, I'm so mad! It's all your fault for arranging this job for me. I'm on my way to the event and I would
After making all the arrangements, Cooper kissed the young woman in his arms with satisfaction, looking proud of himself. These were tried and tested tactics that they did again and again.Meanwhile, dozens of tanks and a few armored cars dedicated to the military arrived in full force at the ground floor of Citron Entertainment.Once the vehicles were all parked, a hundred armed soldiers rushed out of them, each fiercer than the next. All of them were falling into their lines speedily at the entrance. The guards and receptionist were all shocked after they suddenly witnessed such a harrowing scene. The receptionist's face was as pale as a sheet. She tried her best to suppress her fear and reported the situation to the senior executives. "Mr. Wabsor! Mr. Wabsor! Bad news! Something bad has happened! There are lots of soldiers at our entrance and there are lots of military vehicles," An assistant barged into the president's office and shouted incoherently. Landon Wabsor, the pre
Barbie?When Landon heard this name, his heart sank. Sweat started raining down his forehead. His heart was in his mouth and he was wiping off his cold sweat as he said, "Yes, we do have a talent named Barbie. Did she get into any trouble? Colonel, may I ask who's your commander-in-chief?" Landon was agitated. There were five commanders-in-chief in the whole of Biskeland. He wondered which of them did Barbie offend that a lieutenant colonel would personally come over with an army. Barbie was always arrogant, domineering, and a diva. These were all known facts. But he could not believe that she would now offend a commander-in-chief and bring so much trouble to the company. Landon panicked. What the lieutenant colonel said next completely crushed Landon! The lieutenant colonel had a frosty voice, but he suddenly was filled with a strong sense of pride. With a formidable might, he said loudly, "He is the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, also known as King Pendragon!"
Landon was so exasperated by Cooper's failure that he gave him another kick.Then, he turned with an ingratiating smile and said, "Colonel, you see, we didn't know! This is all Barbie's fault. We'll handle this matter however you want us to!""King Pendragon has ordered Citron Entertainment to terminate Barbie's contract. Also, she is to apologize on all platforms online!" the lieutenant colonel said emotionlessly. "Uhm," Landon hesitated a little. Their agency invested quite a sum of money on Barbie in preparation for making her a top star. She was only beginning to see some popularity. If they were to terminate their contract with her, then all their previous investment would be wasted.On top of that, Barbie landed a lot of commercial performances and events, not to mention her film deals. She was gaining the most popular traction and was just about to bring profit to the company. If the contracts were terminated, they would have to pay some hefty penalty.And the worst part
"What holds power here are connections, resources, and favors! Not his military tactics!" The man on the other end of the call hung up after shouting at Landon. Landon put his phone away with shivering hands with a troubled look. His gaze filled with uneasiness and fear. He looked toward the lieutenant colonel at the side and decided to bite the bullet. "Colonel, I'm sorry! Our founder said to not agree with your terms. Also, he asked me to inform you and King Pendragon that this is the capital. The Yacks have had a general in their family before, and he served."If you're going to be so reckless, you'll have to bear the consequences of whatever happens next."Landon finished talking in a quiver. His whole back was soaked in cold sweat and his legs were shaking.The Yacks had what it takes to not fear these soldiers, but Landon did not! He was terrified of them.Besides, the lieutenant colonel who personally came to him was taking orders from King Pendragon.Landon could fee
