The city was full of volatility. On this night, Phoenicia was very lively. There were twice as many people on the streets than usual. The underground chamber of commerce was taking place ahead of schedule tonight at an ancient building in Phoenicia. It was a theater lobby. It was an ancient theater that had been handed down ages ago. The place had carved beams, red tiles, and lamps hanging everywhere—making it seem extremely lively. At this time, the ancient theater building was heavily guarded both inside and outside. An endless stream of various luxury cars drove in from the gates of the building and stopped on the red carpet in front of the main entrance of the theater. From inside the cars, glamorously dressed prominent figures walked down one after another, accompanied by their female companions. They entered the venue one by one! To the outside world, these people were infamous leaders in their respective areas! Big bosses in their own rights! Tonight, they we
At this moment on both sides of the stage, many big bosses from various districts were stepping out from backstage to the front to take their seats. “Oh, Mr. Wood, long time no see.” “Haha, Mr. Saunders, you’re here too.” Several people who knew each other greeted politely. On the surface, they were courteous like blood brothers. As soon as they sat down, however, their faces became cold. They were each thinking of ways to crush the other party later! Soon, the main guest arrived. “Master Cooke is here!” someone shouted in the crowd. The leaders who were all seated got up and smiled at Ken Cooke who was walking out from backstage. Ken, dressed in a black suit, looked vigorous with a ruddy complexion. He was determined to win the top spot tonight. “Master Ken, please take a seat. I’m afraid you’ll be taking the main seat tonight.” Someone stepped forward at this moment and flattered. Ken waved his hand and said, “Hey, the most important thing is to participate.”
The majestic and elegant Shawn Hane walked out from backstage under everyone’s gaze. His face was ruddy as he politely greeted everyone. Two assistants followed behind him, both middle-aged men who appeared calm and serious with torch-like gazes. They did not look like ordinary people at first glance! They were experts from the Hane family! “There’s no need to be so polite. Please have a seat.” Shawn smiled, giving people a very refined and approachable feeling. “Master Hane.” “Master Hane has traveled a long way. It must’ve been hard on you.” Many people gathered around Shawn at the moment, flattering him. After all, Shawn was the current head of the Hane family in Capital City, one of the eight wealthiest families out there! In terms of strength and financial resources, none of them here could compare to him! In terms of influence, the Hane family had long solidified their status in Capital City! Furthermore, the Hanes was established as a martial arts famil
F*ck! He should take a step back as the conflict would be easier to resolve then. However, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became! The staff at the back also looked helplessly at the scene. Why was he so heavy-handed? The chair was custom-made and very expensive! They had no choice but to replace it quickly. Otherwise, if the boss got angry, blood would flow into a river. Shawn also smacked the armrest and crushed it directly. He stood up and shouted coldly, “Hart! There’s no room for your insolence here! Tonight is the underground chamber of commerce! We’re not at your martial arts arena!” He was already boiling with anger from tolerating earlier. At the moment, the staff backstage was having a massive headache… What the heck?! “Hahaha! Hane, I knew you wouldn't dare, you cowardly tortoise!” Gibson laughed and jeered. Shawn glared at him furiously and retorted, “Hart, you useless coward! You’re nothing but a buffoon who talks big!” “Bleh! You tal
In the ancient theater building, all the local leaders had settled down. The spectators and tourists in the outfield also sat down. Tonight’s underground chamber of commerce was different from the past. There would be an opening dance show at the beginning and various performances such as boxing match later as an initiative to interact with the public and heighten the atmosphere. However, everyone knew that the main event was the underground chamber of commerce at the end. When the underground chamber of commerce commenced, the tourists would not be able to see it as the venue would be closed. Now, everyone was just watching the opening gambit.Wayne Kingsley stood on stage and said to everyone, “A warm welcome to all the people from all walks of life and districts who are here in Phoenicia to participate in this underground chamber of commerce. With an attitude of tolerance and openness, this session of the underground chamber of commerce show is also open to the outside wo
Ken put aside his teacup, glanced at all the regional bosses who had different expressions on their faces, and smiled while saying, “I don’t know either. If Master Bowen really comes to participate, let’s just give him a warm welcome. After all, Master Bowen has treated us generously in the past. We can’t be ungrateful.” What Ken said was very true and no one could find any fault with it. All of them nodded, then smiled. “Ah, yes, Master Ken is right.” Yana, who sat next to Ken, turned sideways and whispered in his ear, “Master Ken, you got the best of both worlds with this speech.” Ken merely smiled and said nothing. However... Suddenly, an uncanny snort came from the side. With his arms crossed, Gibson said, “You’re really capable of talking nonsense without batting an eyelash. When Master Bowen was met with that incident back then, I didn’t see you taking the initiative to help him. I even heard that you stabbed him in the back. Otherwise, Master Bowen wouldn’t have coll
Instantly, the great hall fell into pin-drop silence! Everyone turned their gaze to the door. How could this be possible? Had Theo and Mr. Clarke not met with an accident? Among them, the most astounded person was Wallace Phoenix! At this moment, his eyes widened as he stared at the door in fear of missing something! At the same time, a hint of suspicion flashed across his face! This was absolutely impossible! However, in the next second... Everyone saw that at the door, Theo was taking the lead and stepped in. Then, he stood respectfully on one side while bending over and waiting for something. Following that, Philip Clarke, a tall and handsome man in a blue suit, walked in through the door. Behind him, a group of bodyguards in black suits all rushed into the hall and completely filled the exit of the entire hall! Looking around, a swarm of bodyguards in black suits had surrounded the ancient theater hall. Everyone felt a hint of fluster as they watched the e
Branson sneered, his eyes full of grim coldness, “Young man, you’re the first person who dares to say this to me. I want to see what’s going to happen to me!” As his voice fell, Philip had already taken out his mobile phone. At this scene, people looked at him incredulously. Everyone sneered. This so-called Mr. Clarke of Riverdale was not going to call for help, right? If he wanted to fight with the number of people, no one here would fall short. However, Philip continued to dial a number and said indifferently, “How are things going?” On the phone, a respectful male voice replied, “Young Master Clarke, everything is ready.” “Branson Wood of Sunnyglen, deal with this first. In five minutes, make all his properties go bankrupt. In ten minutes, make him collapse. Anyone standing behind him, dig out all their information and hand it over to the relevant units!” Philip ordered before hanging up the phone. Branson laughed sarcastically, looked at Philip, and shouted, “Boy,
