Quentin was speechless. This woman…
However, he knew that Virginia had a fiery temper and was only slightly more docile in front of him. But if pushed too far, she would bite anyone.
Moreover, since he had already promised to give Time Group to Charlotte, if Virginia decided to fight him for it, his financial resources wouldn’t stand a chance against hers. This woman was truly wealthy. If she wanted to throw money at the problem, she could probably come up with a trillion dollars.
Thinking back to his first encounter with Virginia, Quentin’s lips curled into a helpless smile. Back then, Virginia wasn’t the business powerhouse she was now, nor did she have the global super company QM Group.
Quentin had saved her at the border when she was being hunted by foreign forces. Her entourage of over a dozen people had dwindled to just her, and at the brink of death, she was rescued by Quentin and his returning troops. The opposing forces were annihilated.
Quentin and his men saved this future business genius! Later, they took the severely injured Virginia back to their camp to recuperate. During this time, Virginia often clung to Quentin. The men would tease him, saying he had picked up a wife for free, but Quentin would always laugh it off. At that time, he didn’t even know if he would survive his next battle, so how could he accept such deep affection?
A month or two later, Virginia left without saying goodbye. The next time he heard about her, she was in the capital, making her mark and founding QM Group, dominating the business world.
Their second meeting was in Anufast during Quentin’s half-month leave after being crowned War King. That day, the snow by the lake was heavy. They walked in silence, the falling snow turning their hair white.
But Quentin still couldn’t face her deep feelings; he was avoiding them. Now, having just passed the preliminary selection, things would only get more complicated…
Quentin rose step by step, becoming the youngest king among the four realms and eight wildernesses! Especially after sweeping through the iron cavalry of twelve nations and slaying twelve Heaven Realm experts, he became a legend in one battle, cementing his supreme status.
But soon after, news of his parents being forced to their deaths reached his ears. Returning in anger, he learned from Sylvia that Charlotte was carrying his child. Since then, they hadn’t been in contact.
As for Virginia’s feelings for him, Quentin couldn’t pretend not to know. But what could he do besides feign ignorance? He couldn’t give Virginia a future.
Now, faced with this situation, he could only seek Virginia’s help. Quentin shook his head to clear his thoughts and stop dwelling on these matters. Fate was playing tricks on him.
Meanwhile, in an office somewhere in Stresall, Pierce stood before a middle-aged man and said, “Patrick, today I…”
The man glanced at Pierce indifferently, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. “What trouble have you caused today?”
Seeing his intentions exposed, Pierce wasn’t embarrassed and exaggerated the previous events. After hearing him out, Patrick frowned and said slowly, “How many times have I told you? Stop getting into petty jealous fights and doing useless things.”
“Fighting over women like some thug won’t get you anywhere.”
Patrick Blake looked at his brother-in-law with disappointment and admonished him. “A man needs to have skills to earn respect.”
“Women come to you when you have money and power, not through fighting.”
“Is this method effective?”
“Childish!”
Pierce chuckled and scratched his head. “Patrick, isn’t that why I have you backing me up?”
“As long as I have you, I’m fine. You know I don’t have much ability or ambition.”
“I can only rely on you.”
Pierce continued, “Patrick, this time you must help me deal with that guy.”
Seeing him like this, Patrick shook his head; he was hopeless!
But…
He had given up hope for Pierce long ago. Despite opening a big backdoor for him in this position, this useless man had only managed to become a small section chief after all this time.
If he had any ability at all, he wouldn’t be doing so poorly. He didn’t strive for progress himself; no matter how much Patrick tried to pull him up, it was futile. He had given up.
But since Pierce was his brother-in-law, he had no choice but to help him out of obligation, which was annoying.
He waved his hand and said, “Tell me what trouble you’ve run into this time.”
“It’s just a guy.”
“Just get some people from the streets to deal with him!”
“Do you have any information?” Patrick asked indifferently. “I don’t want to waste too much time on such people.”
“Start with Riya,” Pierce chuckled. “He’s that woman’s paramour. If something happens to her, he won’t stand by and do nothing.”
“Patrick, get me some good fighters; that guy looks tough!”
