"You've taken over Frostwave Corporation for close to half a month, and yet you don't even know how many shares Whitney currently has?" Jace was furious.He was only helping Ryder so that he could take control of Frostwave Corporation, after which he could use it to threaten Sebastian and force him to hand over the formula for the Arctic Snow Mask. However, Ryder was a total idiot. He didn't even know how many shares Whitney had in Frostwave Corporation?Ryder was struck dumb by Jace's slap. He had naively thought that Jace was helping him because they had once been classmates.He had never imagined that Jace didn't care about him at all. "M-Mr. Jace, d-did you just hit me?" Ryder still had some defiance in him. Besides, Jace had just slapped him right in front of Orlando. How could Ryder live it down?"Hit you?" Jace laughed coldly. There was an icy gleam in his eyes as he said, "Ryder, you can't possibly think that we're equals, do you?"I don't mind telling you that I'm o
"What?" Kelvin and Aloysius stared at Orlando in disbelief. "Is this reliable news?" Kelvin asked, frowning."Very reliable. Mr. Kurt Lonsten from the Ministry of Commerce told me about it personally, and they just completed all the paperwork an hour ago," Orlando said truthfully to Kelvin."Hmph!" Kelvin huffed and said, "How dare Sebastian open a pharmaceutical factory? Send someone to investigate!"Orlando smiled quickly and said, "Grandpa, I've already sent someone to check. That pharmaceutical factory is in the northern region, and as long as we can find out who the factory director is, I can think of a solution very soon so that he won't be able to open that factory!"Kelvin rolled his eyes at Orlando. Orlando had tried to plot against Sebastian several times, but the Gullivers always ended up having to clean up his mess.He was now very doubtful of Orlando's ability to get things done."Kelvin, this Ballard won't be easy to deal with. I heard that even Captain Cansley of
Buying land and buying a factory were two entirely different things. Although it was an abandoned factory, it was still extremely expensive."He bought the land? Does he have that much money?" Orlando frowned and asked, "Where would he get so much money?""Mr. Gulliver, I'll be honest with you. That piece of land is almost 250 acres. I heard that he spent over 500 million on it!" Trey said truthfully.As the director of the factory, he knew every detail about it. He was even secretly relieved that the new owner was so wealthy. It meant that there would be more opportunities for promotion and a higher salary. "He really keeps a low profile, doesn't he? As long as we can verify that he's the owner of both the land and the pharmaceutical factory, things will be easy." Orlando smiled menacingly. 500 million… even if Sebastian had many wealthy friends, that amount would surely be everything he had. As long as they could seize the pharmaceutical factory, Sebastian would become poor.
Marcel had been in politics for a long time. He knew that people like Kelvin would never do something for nothing. He wouldn't have spent so much money unless he had a favor to ask.Kelvin smiled impassively and said, "I see that nothing gets past you, Mr. Lyme. Actually, I do have a little favor to ask of you."Marcel raised his glass and took a sip of expensive whiskey. He put some food in his mouth and enjoyed the flavor before saying, "Mr. Gulliver, I'll do everything I can. However, in terms of the benefits…"Kelvin smiled thinly and took out a check from his pocket. He pushed it over to Marcel.Marcel glanced at it and immediately refused, saying, "Oh, Mr. Gulliver. Before I can be sure about whether or not I can help, you don't need to be so polite."Marcel wasn't an idiot. The Gullivers and Sebastian had been locked in a fierce battle for quite some time. Although Sebastian was a relatively unknown nobody, he did have connections with Zeke from Steinberg Pharma.Marcel ha
"We have to check it very carefully and meticulously," Marcel said. "If you can't find a problem and the factory isn't closed down, you can resign!""Okay! You can leave it up to me!" Jake Bullen said confidently. Marcel's intention was clear. Jake would have to seize the pharmaceutical factory in the northern region.After hanging up, Jake immediately contacted Rory Woodsen, who was from the Food and Drug Administration. He told Rory what Marcel wanted.When Rory heard that it was a direct command from Marcel, he immediately called ten of his subordinates and drove to the northern region with Jake.On the way there, Rory asked in confusion, "That pharmaceutical factory has been closed for about half a year, right? Why would Mr. Lyme suddenly tell us to investigate it?"Jake scoffed. "There's a saying that says that people hide their riches. Think about how well-off you have to be to spend 500 million on establishing a factory in the northern region. If Mr. Lyme doesn't do anyth
Sebastian glanced at Jake from afar. He could tell from their actions that they had come prepared."Gentlemen, I'm Sebastian Ballard, the owner of this pharmaceutical factory," he said, smiling. Jake eyed Sebastian and pretended to look surprised as he said, "Oh? Aren't you the consultant of Arctic Snow Group? My apologies for the disrespect." Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Bullen, you're too polite. Why did you bring so many people? Are you planning to smash up my factory?"Jake scoffed. "Rubbish! I'm here on a regular inspection. Get your permit and production license, and show me!"Sebastian glanced at his uniform and said, "Since when has the Department of Health been in charge of pharmaceutical factory permits?" "The FDA has the right to ask, surely?" Rory walked over to Sebastian, hands clasped behind his back. His gaze swept over him as he said coldly, "You must be this factory owner. Show us the permit!""Who are you?" Sebastian looked Rory up and down. "I'
Wasn't Sebastian only a consultant of Arctic Snow Group? Even if they did trample him to death, what could he do? After all, Rory had the support of the whole Gulliver family! Was there anything the Gullivers couldn't settle in Sartvale? Trey turned pale as he watched the permit being torn to shreds. He turned and ran toward the office, but someone stuck their foot out and sent him sprawling with a thump. He didn't even have time to turn back and see who had tripped him. He scrambled up from the ground and ran swiftly toward the office. He had taken the military permit from Fitz. Tearing up a military permit was a crime punishable by death. They could be shot dead! Trey did not dare to conceal it without reporting it. Rory watched Trey run off to the office. He grinned gleefully and said, "Did you see that? He was scared shitless! It must be a fake permit!" Jake glanced at the dazed Trey and was even more sure that the permit Sebastian had produced must be fake. "Sebastia
Jake trembled as he said, "I'm Jake Bullen from the Department of Health! We're just following orders.""Following orders? What orders and who gave them?" Fitz's cold gaze swept over Jake and Rory's faces. "We came to ch-check the permit," Jake said after mustering up the courage. "Haven't we given you the permit already? Why did you rough him up?" Fitz asked, looking thunderous.Trey had run over to tell him that something was happening with the pharmaceutical factory, but he hadn't been told that the permit had been torn up. "P-Permit? Where?" Rory had been so scared that his mind had gone blank. He had completely forgotten about what had happened. "It's… It's the one you tore up!" Trey said, panting. "What?" Fitz's expression suddenly changed. He looked down and noticed the torn pieces of paper on the ground and immediately became furious. Glaring at Jake and Rory, he yelled, "Tell me! Which bastard tore that up? Step forward!"Everyone jolted with fright and simultaneo
