“Boss Potter, what on earth is Ovidiu Cook thinking? He just threw in five billion, and now another three billion!”

“I’m not entirely sure, but if Ovidiu Cook dares to go against me, he can’t blame me for not being nice!”

“Don’t worry, Boss Potter. Since Titan Group doesn’t show you respect, it’s only natural for the brothers to step in and help.”

“Thank you, brother!”

Stanislaus Potter put down the phone, his expression very grim.

He had received no fewer than five such calls in just ten minutes.

Major entrepreneurs from Five-river Province, upon hearing that Titan Group and Golden Eagle Group were pitted against each other, had called one after another to express their absolute support for Stanislaus Potter.

And indeed, they kept their word. Although they didn’t bet too fiercely, they did put forward a considerable amount of money.

“Ovidiu Cook, Ovidiu Cook, you are challenging half of Five-river Province!”

Stanislaus Potter narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within.

“Immediately convene a high-level meeting!”

He waved his secretary off, picked up the documents on the table, and headed toward the meeting room.

The situation was beginning to spiral out of control, and everything was not going according to his plan.

In Stanislaus Potter’s estimation, as long as he exerted a little pressure, coupled with the support of his brethren from Five-river Province, Radcliffe Group would likely not survive even half a day.

After all, how powerful could a company with a market value of only a little over ten billion be?

But what he never expected was that Titan Group would suddenly enter the fray with the force of a thunderbolt!

Although he had been prepared to deal with Titan Group after meeting Julius Reed, he didn’t think Ovidiu Cook would be so foolish!

Everyone is in business to make money, after all.

But Titan Group’s move was to throw in seventy billion, almost emptying the coffers of this leading company in Gonzalez City.

Stanislaus Potter racked his brains but couldn’t figure out what Ovidiu Cook was after. Didn’t he know this would infuriate him? That it could spell doom for Titan Group?

Soon, the top executives of Golden Eagle Group all gathered in the meeting room.

“Boss Potter, I heard that Titan Group has entered the fray?”

Stafford, the general manager, asked.

Although everyone knew about Golden Eagle Group’s move, when an elephant steps on an ant, not many pay attention.

But now that the situation was subtly changing, people started to take notice.

“Correct! I called Ovidiu Cook, but no one answered! And when I asked Titan Group, they said it was the new CEO’s decision!”

Stanislaus Potter’s teeth clenched with a grinding noise, his face also looking very unsightly.

“Secretary Martin, please give everyone an update.”

He gestured, and Secretary Martin immediately picked up an A4 paper, recounting the entire series of events in detail.

It included how Titan Group intervened twice, each time when Radcliffe Group’s stock price was about to fall, firmly rescuing it.

“Has Ovidiu Cook gone mad? What benefit does this have for him? Titan Group’s available liquid funds are only around a hundred billion or so, and now he’s already put in more than eighty billion. Titan Group is nearly emptied After listening to Secretary Martin’s report, Stafford furrowed his eyebrows.

He had investigated Titan Group before, as it was a leading enterprise in Gonzalez City, and inevitably there would be cooperation between the two groups.

According to the investigation, Titan Group had no more than a hundred billion in liquid funds.

Now that Ovidiu Cook has put forth eighty billion to support Radcliffe Group, he might end up with nothing. Even if he ultimately saves Radcliffe Group, his own group would be greatly weakened, possibly even relegated to a second-tier enterprise.

In Gonzalez City, there are quite a few companies eyeing opportunistically, hoping to rise at the right moment.

“Since he wants to fight with us, then let’s fight!”

Stanislaus Potter slammed his fist onto the table.

“Boss Potter, is this appropriate? If Titan Group is risking its life, even if we win, our losses will be immense!”

Stafford hesitated before finally speaking up. He was well aware of the incident involving Quamaine Potter, but the cost of revenge now seemed too great. As the group’s general manager, it was his duty to voice a caution at this time.

“Do we have any way back? Dozens of reputable entrepreneurs from Five-river Province are supporting us, how can I back out now without losing face?” Stanislaus Potter pointed at his own face, his tone filled with anger.

He was now like a duck being forced onto a perch, with no choice but to climb. So many eyes were watching, and if the Golden Eagle Group couldn’t even handle a second-tier enterprise in Gonzalez City, how could they continue to mix in the circle in the future?

“We can slow down the capital investment and wait for tomorrow!”

Thinking of Dustless having already left the Potter Family to take action, Stanislaus Potter’s mood improved significantly.

The new CEO of the Titan Group was Julius Reed, as long as Dustless killed him, he didn’t believe Ovidiu Cook would continue to oppose him.

At least, it’s clear to everyone what’s more important between life and money.

Because the stock price was at a standoff, a disheartened Zade Radcliffe and his grandchild had no choice but to leave with frustration. But they didn’t believe that the Golden Eagle Group couldn’t handle Ovidiu Cook!

After the Radcliffe Family left, Quella Radcliffe finally let out a long sigh of relief. She had been on tenterhooks all afternoon.

“Julius, I’m not dreaming, am I?”

What is the Golden Eagle Group? One of the leaders of Five-river Province, a gigantic entity!

Yet such a behemoth had made a move but failed to swallow the Radcliffe Group whole, instead losing two front teeth.

She had already prepared herself to return the chairman position to Zade Radcliffe, but unexpectedly, even now, she was still the chairman.

“What dream? I can tell you, from now on, you are the master of the Radcliffe Group.”

Julius Reed smiled as he patted her head and said, “After being so worried all afternoon, I’ll treat you to a nice dinner tonight.”

“Sure, but I’m paying. Where would you get the money from!”

His words made Quella Radcliffe feel much better.

The restaurant was near their new home, a western-style establishment. Their new home was located in the golden area of the city, making dining particularly convenient.

After Quella Radcliffe had taken care of everything, the day had gradually turned to dusk. They got into the Rolls-Royce and headed in the direction of home.

Blit they hadn’t gone far from the company when the couple stopped the car on

a quiet road.

Because not far away, there was a person dressed as a Taoist blocking the road.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, and it wasn’t clear whether he was asleep.

When he saw Julius Reed’s car, the Taoist slowly stood up and walked to the driver’s side to lightly knock on the window.

“Are you Julius Reed?”

As soon as Julius Reed rolled down the window, he immediately felt the killing aura emanating from the Taoist.

“Yes, I am.”

He nodded, watching the Taoist very vigilantly, instinctively sensing that this person was a foe rather than a friend.

“I am Dustless, a pleasure to meet you!”

The Taoist nodded and looked towards the passenger side, Quella Radcliffe, and said, “Madam, I am an acquaintance of your husband. Would it be convenient for us to catch up?”

“You know each other?”

Upon hearing his words, Quella Radcliffe involuntarily raised an eyebrow.

Her husband had been staying at home for three years, so when did he make a Taoist friend? And it seemed like the other party had been waiting here for a while.

“Yes, we’re acquaintances.”

Julius Reed unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the driver’s seat, instructing Quella Radcliffe, “You go ahead to the restaurant and order the meal, I’ll be there shortly.”

He had been worried that the other party might threaten Quella Radcliffe, but now it seemed that the Taoist was only looking for trouble with him.

That was for the better.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Julius Reed quietly sent a text with a number to Aron Jackson. Once Aron Jackson received the numeric message, his people would immediately show up and ensure that Quella Radcliffe safely reached the restaurant.

“Alright! If anything happens, remember to call me.”

Quella Radcliffe glanced at the Taoist, moved to the driver’s seat, and slowly drove off..
