Chapter 391

"Go ahead, you have things to handle," Howard said, casting a casual glance at Kenny.To Howard, the recent commotion was not about putting Montez in his place. He considered Montez too trivial to bother with a scolding.If Montez had been just another spoiled rich kid, Howard would have had Mystical Chubby toss him out on his ear without a second thought.However, Howard had a point to make to the audience. After that night, the Swanson Group would take over all of Oceania Group's Mendorra division, with Talia stepping in as the new president.With a company that size, and thousands of employees, Talia was bound to face some pushback. No doubt, there would be a few ruffled feathers.Hence, Howard seized the moment to show his support for Talia, giving everyone a heads-up. It was a move that would surely smooth the way for her down the line."Got it!" Kenny nodded and made his way to the stage.Mystical Chubby ambled back to the buffet—he was not done with his feast."Mr. Linco

Chapter 392

"Am I losing it, or did I just hear that right?" Nance blurted out."Easy there, Nance, you're giving me a heart attack!" Yancy chided, pressing a hand to her heart."This is huge, right? How much is our company going to balloon after this?" Nance pressed on."We're even taking over the Mendorra Building. That has to shoot us up to the top five in Mendorra, doesn't it?""Let's not jump the gun, Nance. It's still up in the air if this is a win or a flop," Yancy said, cracking a smile before turning to Talia. "Ms. Jenkins, what's your take?""I'm just as surprised. Who knew Swanson Group was actually part of Oceania Group, and now this whirlwind of change?" Talia mused."This means a major shake-up for the company—mergers, layoffs. Whether it's a blessing or a curse for us, only time will tell.""Ms. Jenkins, do you think you'll be shuffled around too?" Nance asked, her voice tinged with concern."Doesn't matter to me. I'm sticking with you, come what may. That is, unless I get t

Chapter 393

Silence swept over the crowd like a sudden gust of wind as heads turned toward Howard and his group, eyes wide with shock."What!?" Nance and Yancy were momentarily taken aback before they burst into excitement, leaping to their feet.Talia, meanwhile, felt her mind go blank, struggling to grasp the reality of the moment."It's amazing, absolutely amazing!" Nance managed to compose themselves and turned to Talia with a beaming smile. "Way to go, Ms. Jenkins!""Congrats, honey!" Howard chimed in with a warm smile. "Honey, you can breathe easy now—no more worrying about a demotion.""What, me? No way, Mr. Carter must be mistaken!" Talia finally snapped out of her daze, her head shaking in disbelief. "They wouldn't let me run such a huge company. It's just not possible, no way!""Ms. Jenkins, Mr. Carter wouldn't get something this big wrong—it has to be you!" Nance was still riding the wave of excitement.Yancy, too, was all smiles, nodding."Honey, Nance is right. There's no way

Chapter 394

Talia was hitting her stride, her words flowing smoothly, her thoughts organized. She was the epitome of a powerhouse career woman."Doesn't she look familiar to you?" a woman's voice suddenly cut through the murmur of the crowd."What do you mean? You know her?" another woman inquired."You know, now that you say that, she does look kind of familiar," a man added."I'm trying to place her—I know I've seen her somewhere!" the first woman insisted.Then, with a brief pause, she gasped. "I got it! Isn't she the woman from that epic marriage proposal that had the whole town talking?""Ah! Now I remember, it is her!" the man exclaimed, equally astonished."No way! Are you sure? She's the one all the ladies were envious of?" another woman asked, her voice rising with excitement."I couldn't be more sure—it's her!" the first woman confirmed with a vigorous nod. "There's no one else in Mendorra as stunning as she is!""Wow, she's really living the dream, isn't she?" the other woman s

Chapter 395

"Huh?" Kenny blinked, caught off-guard. "Not in detail, but I've got the gist. They've got their fingers in a lot of pies. What's up?""I want you to get a team to dig into their main gigs," Howard said with a decisive tone. "Find out if there's anything that could play well with Oceania Group. And keep someone on the lookout—we need to be ready to jump in and make a deal if the opportunity comes up."Kenny's breath hitched. Was Master Howard actually thinking of taking on the Calnan family? That was no small feat!He took a moment to compose himself, then nodded with determination. "I'm on it first thing tomorrow.""Good," Howard acknowledged with a nod.He knew all too well that his business with the Calnan family was far from settled.The Calnan family, with their blue-blooded veins and an air of aristocracy, could hardly stomach any challenge to their status. The recent debacle involving Graham had left them red-faced, and they were itching for a comeback.He, on the other h

Chapter 396

A surge of formidable energy erupted from Howard, instantly wrapping him and Talia in a powerful protective aura.The sniper's bullet pinged off the powerful protective aura and clattered to the ground."Damn!" Two snipers muttered under their breath as they watched through their scopes, then quickly ditched their rifles and bolted.They knew all too well that against someone of Howard's caliber, they would get only one shot. Miss it, and they were as good as dead."Sir, are you alright?" Mystical Chubby called out from the hotel lobby entrance, fury rising within him. The audacity to attempt an assassination on my boss was unthinkable!"I'm fine." Howard's gaze turned piercing. "One sniper at one o'clock, another at three. Don't let them get away!""Got it!" Mystical Chubby's voice was a low rumble. "Sir, you and your lady hop in the car!"He was off like a shot, his figure a blur. As a martial knight, his speed outmatched even that of a martial god, disappearing into the shado

Chapter 397

The mention of the Eroding Ghost Flower poison sent a shiver down Howard's spine.That explained the overwhelming potency of the poison—it was the Eroding Ghost Flower, one of the four deadliest poisons.He had spent years in the Rectenwald sect, fortifying his body against toxins. Ordinary poisons could not touch him, and he had been puzzled at how easily he had been affected. However, then it made sense—it was the lethal Eroding Ghost Flower.He took a moment to steady his breathing before pulling out several silver needles and piercing them into his flesh."Futile efforts," The woman said with an aloof tone. "The Eroding Ghost Flower poison is incurable. Even with your poison-resistant body, Master Howard, it's no use."And considering you've tapped into your core energy twice already, I'd say you've got about a minute before the poison hits your heart. Then, not even a miracle can save you.""Howard..." Talia's tears flowed freely, growing anxious."Honey, don't worry. I'll

Chapter 398

The woman, sensing the impending danger as Howard's power surged, narrowly escaped death.Nonetheless, she was still hurled through the air by the wave of energy, crashing down hard and coughing up blood."How... How can this be!?" Lying there in shock, she stared at Howard. "How can you still wield such incredible strength!?""You've seriously overestimated the poison of the Eroding Ghost Flower." Howard inhaled deeply, his body trembling as a flurry of silver needles shot out from him."There's no denying it, the Eroding Ghost Flower's poison hit me hard at first, but you just love the sound of your own voice, don't you? That gave me the break I needed. If you'd come at me full force from the get-go, maybe you'd have a shot today."The keyword here is 'maybe'!""Impossible! You can't force out the toxicity of the Eroding Ghost Flower, even if your cultivation base has reached the later stages of the martial ancestor..." At that point, it seemed as if there was a sudden realizat

Chapter 399

In tandem, Mystical Chubby and an elderly adversary were hurled through the air like kites torn from their strings, leaving behind a crimson wake.Mystical Chubby hit the ground hard and skidded back a dozen steps before regaining his footing, his energy wildly erratic.The old man from the other side hit the ground with a thud, coughing up a gush of blood before his head lolled to the side, lifeless."Brother!" his companion, another elder, howled in anguish. Without missing a beat, he summoned all his power and lunged at Mystical Chubby."You're going down, you old buzzard, to join him!" Mystical Chubby bellowed, his wrist flicking rapidly as a flurry of silver needles flew like a downpour."You killed my brother! I'll rip you apart!" the elder thundered, swiping his hand through the air to scatter the needles with a blast of wind.In that instant, Mystical Chubby's punch, already on its way, slammed into the elder's protection aura.However, Mystical Chubby was wounded, his p

Chapter 400

"Sir, the Eroding Ghost Flower is exclusive to Abatemarco and Abbercrombie. These thugs must be from Abbercrombie; they've got no ties to Abatemarco," Mystical Chubby said, his voice heavy with concern as he stepped closer."Indeed," Howard acknowledged with a subtle nod."Abbercrombie is sending assassins to Mendorra to take you out, Sir. Are they itching for their downfall?" Mystical Chubby's face twisted with rage."I'll get on the phone with Carbonemys right now. He'll lead the Blood Shadow Force, all hundred thousand of them, and we'll crush Abbercrombie once and for all!""Hold on a second." Howard's gaze was locked on the horizon, his voice laced with thoughtfulness."Remember last year? The Blood Shadow Force nearly halved Abbercrombie's strength. They know full well the price of their actions."If they succeed in killing me, Abbercrombie will vanish from the map. Trading a whole nation for one life is a losing deal."And yet, they've gone ahead with it."Don't you thin
