Quill made such an irreparable mistake this time.

"Speak up! What money was stolen?"

Jon slammed his fist on the table and yelled at Quill.

However, Quill remained distracted as if stunned. He remained silent too.

"Sir, the original tenants' representatives we were talking to were fake...

"They were not representatives appointed by the government, and the original residents had no idea.

"They ran off with our money."

A senior executive explained through clenched teeth.

Swoosh!

Jon's face turned pale instantly.

A hundred-million-dollar company like Zimmer Corporation got scammed?

Besides that, they were scammed with such a low-level con?

Jon did not believe it. He thought he must have heard it wrong.

He was not the only one. The senior executives thought it was impossible when they first got the news.

However, they had no choice but to accept the fact after checking it repeatedly.

Someone swindled a lot of money from Zimmer Corporation.

Such tactics were as low as they c

    "To put it bluntly, being scammed is our company's fault. We still need to pay back every penny we owe."So, there is still no solution to our current crisis."Everyone lowered their heads gloomily after the legal staff finished.Jon felt like his wounds were rubbed with salt.He understood all this.The debt collectors did not care what happened to Zimmer Corporation."You b*stard! Are you stupid? Huh?"With no place to vent his anger, Jon grabbed Quill and slapped him across the face."Can't you see there was something wrong with them?"Tell me what's the use of keeping you!"Jon grabbed Quill and slapped him several times.There were repeatedly loud slaps in the office.Quill was dumbfounded from the slaps as blood poured from his nostrils."And you. Are you all useless?"Did I ask you to follow him to stand there and look pretty?"Jon turned to look at the others who had gone to sign the contract with Quill."Mr. Zimmer, we did sense something was wrong."But Young

    "How can I trust you?"Will the millions of River City citizens believe me?"There is no way I will hand over such an important place to a problematic company."Mr. Schmidt shook his head slightly. There was no way he was going to ruin his career over this.Zimmer Corporation was not worth defending."Give me some time. I can fix this... I will!"Given how much Zimmer Corporation contributed to River City's economy and taxes, give me some time, Mr. Schmidt!"Jon pleaded to Mr. Schmidt as he gritted his teeth slightly.Mr. Schmidt fell silent at this.He nodded his head gently after a while."I'll give you one day at most."If you can't solve the problem in one day, we will retract Zimmer Corporation's rights to develop the land."Mr. Schmidt hung up the phone after saying this."Whew!"Jon let out a long sigh, but his mind was not at all relaxed.He thought Zimmer Corporation had a chance even if the situation was tough.After all, they owned the biggest and best land i

    "Dad, are we really talking to Boss Flint about working together?"We're a legit company, but they're not."Quill thought for a moment and said with a frown."So what? I have to see him."Jon waved his hand with a frown, his mind already made up.Jon listened to what the senior executive said.Reach For Will Group was just too powerful.They now ruled the entire River City's business circle, if not most of it.In this case, whichever company Zimmer Corporation sold the land to, it would probably end up in Reach For Will Group's hands.However, Jon hated Reach For Will Group so much that he would never give up the development rights to them even if he had to file for bankruptcy.Therefore, he could only go through other avenues.The business circle was a lost cause.The underworld's Flint was Jon's only choice.First of all, Flint's focus was not on business.Most of his businesses were entertainment clubs, which were not a usual industry in the business circle.Therefore

    "You're so straightforward, Boss Flint, so I'll be blunt."I wonder if you've heard about Reach For Will Group?"Before getting down to business, Jon did not forget to test if Flint had connections with Reach For Will Group."Who doesn't know Reach For Will Group?"I don't care about them as long as they don't annoy me."Piss me off, and I'll kick them out of River City."Flint snorted coldly, his face scornful.It was as if Reach For Will Group was nothing but a pest to him.Jon could not help smiling at this.He knew Flint was bragging, but it did not matter. What mattered was that he had already found out how Flint felt about Reach For Will Group.That was enough."Haha, how daring, Boss Flint."In that case, I'll be straight with you."I heard you have several loan companies, so you must have a lot of money."So I have a business deal I'd like to talk to you about, Boss Flint."Jon said as he winked at the female assistant beside him.The assistant, dressed in a for

    "Boss Flint, wait! Please wait!"Jon got up and stopped Flint with panic in his eyes.It was the only choice he had now. How could he let Flint leave?"What are you trying to say?"Flint frowned, his tone more impatient.Jon gritted his teeth, trying to force a smile.He had hoped to persuade Flint to come on board and invest some money in them.That way, he did not have to sell the land.However, Flint's attitude made it clear that Jon's plan failed."Boss Flint, I need some money!"Jon finally gave in and gritted his teeth as he told the truth."How much?"A sneer appeared on Flint's lips."Two hundred million dollars."Jon slowly held up two fingers."No."Flint shook his head and rejected."150 million would do too..."Jon was silent for two seconds before saying again."No again."Flint rejected again."Everyone knows Zimmer Corporation is on the ropes."If I lend you so much money, how are you going to pay me?"Flint snorted coldly and expressed his attitud

    Two entirely new contracts were soon on the table.One contract was for the transfer of the land's development rights.They had already agreed on the price and terms, so there was no problem.Of course, Flint had the right to sell in the new contract.The second one was more of an agreement or rather, a guarantee.Flint promised he would not sell the land to Reach For Will Group.Besides that, he could not sell it to any company associated with the Reach For Will Group in any form or way.In short, Flint had the right to sell it if Zimmer Corporation could not pay up.However, he could not sell it to Reach For Will Group.If the land ended up with Reach For Will Group, Flint would have been considered to have breached their contract.Not only did Zimmer Corporation not have to pay Flint the one hundred million dollars, but Flint also had to pay them a penalty of three times the price of the land development permit.The bid for the land development permit was 220 million doll

    However, Jon had only thought about it for only a few seconds before waving his hand nonchalantly again."I know what you're worried about."You're worried Sean will take the money from Reach For Will Group and buy the land, right?"Don't forget. The agreement I made Flint sign was that they would be considered to have breached the contract if the land ended up with Reach For Will Group."So what if Sean got the land? He doesn't have the money to develop it, so it is only going to be ruined in his hands."Jon smiled coldly, his face full of satisfaction.He felt that he had killed two birds with one stone.Seeing Jon so confident, the female assistant and the company's senior executive said nothing else....Minton Restaurant.As soon as Jon left, Sean arrived with Zander."Mr. Lennon."Flint immediately got up and said hello to Sean."Do it."Sean signaled Zander to take the contract with a slight wave of his hand.Flint quickly presented the contract and was ready to s

    However, he was in no hurry. The money was meant to solve the crisis."Wrap everything up today."I will hold another press conference to save Zimmer Corporation's image tomorrow."Then we'll proceed with developing the land and collect the funds."Jon gathered several core senior executives and Quill to discuss what to do next."Dad, hasn't the land already been sold?"Quill asked, puzzled."Not many people know about this."Everyone thinks we still own the land, so we can continue developing it."Flint won't stand in our way because he has to let us collect the funds as the developer if he wants to take back the one hundred million dollars we owe."I'll give them some things to sweeten the deal when the time comes."Everyone nodded when Jon said this.Flint did not have much use for the land anyway.Only Zimmer Corporation could make full use of the land and develop it in order to pay off their debts.Flint knew what to do if he was not an idiot."That's all for today.

    "Even if you haven't stepped into the legendary Transcendence Realm yet, you're already capable enough to overpower most martial artists! Mr. Lennon, you've possessed such strength at your age. You'll surely enter that legendary realm one day!" Adam exclaimed.He had practiced diligently day after day for decades, yet he was only a Beginner Great Grandmaster. Even so, he was one of the most talented martial artists among several generations of Greendom Chapel members. However, that talent was as different as night and day compared to Sean.Sean was now only in his 20s, yet he already possessed the strength to rival the supreme priest who had passed away.There were no other people as strong as Sean in the entire Dragon Kingdom."Alright, stop flattering me. I'll have someone transfer 500 million to you later. You can use it to improve Greendom Chapel's current situation. When the time comes, I'll accompany you to meet that man from Melode Cathedral," Sean said with a smile as he sh

    "Mr. Lennon, you also know how strong that old priest is. We Catholics only have the supreme priest who could rival him. Now that the supreme priest has passed away, that old priest has become even more arrogant..." Sean nodded slightly and sighed before expressing his regret. "It's a pity about the supreme priest.""Human life has its limitations. The path of martial arts is long and arduous. Few people in history have been able to reach the legendary Transcendence Realm." Adam sighed as well. He had already reached Great Grandmaster Realm that countless martial artists dreamed of. Even so, there were opponents he could not defeat and problems he could not solve."Mr. Lennon, since you're willing to leave that calligraphy in Greendom Chapel, you must have some history with Greendom Chapel. I wonder if you can tell me," Adam finally said after a moment of silence.Adam was the former chaplain of Greendom Chapel, but he had gone into seclusion to further advance himself after stepp

    A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christ who might be a Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or follower of another branch of the religion. A Catholic was a Christian who followed the Catholic religion transmitted through the succession of Popes, who were leaders of the Catholic church. Thus, All Roman Catholics were Christian, but not all Christians were Roman Catholic. The difference in beliefs had put the two in conflict."Could it be that their conflict has reignited? Didn't a Catholic priest warn those donkeys?" Sean asked with a frown.Adam nodded slightly and sighed before slowly replying, "It's just as you said. After the passing of Tiger Mountain's supreme priest, Christians often gave us Catholics a hard time. Now, not only are chaplains from all over Dragon Kingdom affected, but even Greendom Chapel has gotten into this situation."Most chaplains and churches relied on donations from their followers for their income. Once they lost this source of income, chaplains and

    Meanwhile, a daunting aura rose from the old chaplain.The Brown brothers’ expressions instantly changed, even being forced back three steps by the pressure from the old chaplain before barely stopping.Willow's eyes filled with panic. She felt like she had encountered a mortal enemy and had her life on the line.Sean's gaze focused before he immediately reached out to hold Willow."Cut that intimidating aura out. Who are you trying to scare?" Sean snapped as he looked at the old chaplain.However, the old chaplain's kind demeanor changed. He stared solemnly at Sean and asked, "I'm asking who you are.""Who am I? Is my calligraphy in Greendom Chapel gone?" Sean replied indifferently.The old chaplain froze in place as if struck by lightning."What? The old chaplain is from Greendom Chapel? How is that possible… Greendom Chapel is a nationally renowned holy place. H-How could one of their chaplains be selling counterfeit goods here?" Willow exclaimed. Her hands covered her mouth

    The smile on the old chaplain's face instantly froze. He looked awkwardly at Sean and stammered, "L-Look at my age. How could I engage in deceitful acts? God... I've lived a righteous life. I didn't expect to be so misunderstood in my twilight years..."Seeing the old chaplain's pitiful expression, Willow could not help but feel sorry for him.However, Sean looked disdainfully at the old chaplain before saying with a smile, "Sir, perhaps being an actor suits you better than being a chaplain."The old chaplain's acting skills were impeccable. He might even win a prize if he attended some award ceremony. With his white beard and the slightly worn-out robe that had turned somewhat faded, others might indeed mistake Sean for misunderstanding the old chaplain."Sir, you can't say such things! I've lived an honest life. You can't just tarnish my reputation!" The old chaplain pleaded earnestly, looking at Sean.Ignoring the old chaplain, Sean picked up a vase from the stall before him. W

    Sean glanced at Elton and Bernie beside him and said with a smile. Elton and Bernie scratched their heads awkwardly and beamed. "After we finish browsing Antiques Street, let's head to the new company office together and get acquainted with it. At least we won't end up not knowing where our company is in the future."Daniel and his brothers immediately nodded.Then, the group continued to stroll through Antiques Street. However, Antiques Street had been around for so many years, and each stall was run by shrewd peddlers, who made it increasingly difficult to find hidden treasures.Even with Sean's keen eye, he had not come across a genuine antique after strolling through Antiques Street for so long. All he saw were counterfeit antiques that looked authentic.After another ten minutes or so, Sean suddenly stopped in his tracks.Not far away, an old man with white hair in a black robe opened up a large bag of items and placed the items on the ground. He then took out a small sto

    Willow held Sean's arm, her face filled with happiness.Sean scanned the surroundings of the street stalls with a smile, searching for genuine antiques. The Brown brothers quietly followed Sean. With the Brown brothers standing behind Sean like bodyguards, the street peddlers who had heard about suckers in Antiques Street were now hesitant to make any sudden moves."Mr. Lennon, I heard this place is full of scammers. You wouldn't want to ruin your reputation here," Daniel reminded with a chuckle.Sean glanced at him and replied flatly, "Come on. Would my reputation be ruined in such a small place? Check out the two little trinkets Willow bought for only 500 dollars. If we auction them off, I can make at least 20 million dollars!"Daniel and his brothers paused and turned to look at the hairpin and the ring Willow was holding.Seeing the three men interested in the items, Willow stopped and handed the hairpin and ring to Daniel. "Feel free to take a look."Since they were Sean's

    It was normal to pay others for their service. Sean only gave them 10 thousand dollars when he had made 20 million dollars a while ago. Ten thousand was just a drop in the bucket. Daniel and his brothers swiftly made their way through Antiques Street, soon spotting Sean and Willow. Sensing someone approaching, Sean immediately turned around to look. Sean smiled when he saw the Brown brothers."Mr. Lennon! Mrs. Lennon!" Daniel and his brothers greeted respectfully when they arrived before Sean and Willow. Willow felt slightly embarrassed at being called "Mrs. Lennon" and only nodded slightly before looking elsewhere. Sean nodded with a smile. Fortunately, this part of Antiques Street was relatively isolated with few people around. Otherwise, Daniel and his brothers' sudden appearance would attract attention."Mr. Lennon, you spotted us from so far away. Your abilities are admirable!" Daniel lamented.Sean shook his head with a smile and said flatly, "Martial arts is all a

    "Don't be offended. Mr. Lennon also instructed us to watch over these three guys here," Bobby answered with a smile, not mentioning that they were hired earlier to mess with Sean for 3 thousand dollars.The four men standing before them were burly and not easy to mess with. Bobby would not foolishly tell them he had tried to trouble Sean."Is that so? How can we be sure you're not associated with these two?" Daniel asked hostilely as he raised his eyebrows skeptically.Bobby and his henchmen's expressions immediately changed, fear evident in their eyes. Bobby quickly pulled out his phone, showed the transaction record of Sean's payment, and said, "Look, look! This is the record of the money Mr. Lennon just wired me!"Zander glanced at it, confirming the identities of the three men in front of him as the same ones Sean had mentioned on the phone."I'll take these two back to the company. You three can find Mr. Lennon and help him out with any troubles," Zander said solemnly.Dan
