Kendal Roy shifted slightly to find a more comfortable position before speaking:
“Sharp’s Group declared bankruptcy six months ago, and Ms. Sharp was deeply affected by it.”
“In the past two months, she has risen again like a dragon emerging from the depths, reappearing in the public eye.”
“She acquired Davies’ Pharmaceuticals and renamed it SilverLining Pharmaceuticals.”
“Katrina Richardson’s team moved in, and with investments from Orion Kennedy and others, they launched three Ancient Formula medicines.”
“They opened up channels and severely weakened Hussain’s Pharmaceutical’s Dragon Gate Group. Acebegron Clear Relief failed catastrophically, resulting in Braiden’s death, and Swanson’s Group was completely eliminated.”
“All of this seemed unstoppable, victory appeared imminent, but little did we know, you were only paving the way for Layla.”
“The real battle hasn’t even started!”
“Layla has now secured a $10 billion investment from Wakasa, with additional domestic investors ready to support her, planning to divide up Sharp’s Group in a grand feast.”
“In no more than two days, Lilia will be able to raise $100 billion.”
“I wonder, does Ms. Sharp have any strategies to counter this? Or rather, how much has Ms. Sharp managed to raise so far?”
Lilia’s Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill was a failure, costing her $10 billion.
Acebegron Clear Relief was a disaster, resulting in Braiden’s death and the withdrawal of the Swanson’s Group Alliance.
The three allied companies were severely damaged, causing many dependent families to waver, stand by, and hesitate to make any major moves.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Layla managed to secure a $10 billion investment.
Lilia took this opportunity to hold a massive rally, deciding to launch a full-scale attack on Sharp’s Group.
The investors were invigorated, rushing to invest.
After all, Sharp’s Group was now a hot commodity, owning seven companies, two Ancient Formulas, and over a dozen patented medicines.
Especially the two Ancient Formulas, which could bring in billions in profits for Sharp’s Group annually.
One could only imagine how much profit these two formulas would generate over the next five to ten years, increasing the company’s market value substantially.
Should they take over Sharp’s Group, the two Ancient Formulas would naturally fall into Lilia’s hands, securing continuous massive dividends for the investors in the coming years.
This was a juicy opportunity.
Too juicy to resist!
Who wouldn’t want a bite? Especially with Layla as a strong pillar, the sky wouldn’t fall!
It was time to strike while Sharp’s Group was just beginning production, before it could earn greater profits.
This was the ultimate goal of the investors.
After hearing Kendal Roy’s words, Layla calmly responded, “I’m sorry, how much Sharp’s Group has raised so far is confidential. I can’t disclose that.”
Business warfare is a war without smoke. Revealing one’s details to the world is foolish.
She didn’t trust Kendal Roy’s lips.
This woman’s character was questionable, she wouldn’t act without a profit motive.
What if she turned around and sold the information to Layla?
Rose had $50 billion in hand, wealthy and bold. Her current plan wasn’t just to recover the lost companies but also to crush Hussain’s Pharmaceutical and the Shen family!
And to make a huge profit from it!
If Layla knew she had $50 billion, there would only be two possibilities.
The first was that Layla would continue to raise funds, but the likelihood of that was small.
Too risky and difficult.
The second possibility was that Layla and Lilia would flee, investors would pull out, and Rose’s efforts would be wasted.
Of course, Kendal Roy couldn’t grasp Rose’s thoughts and lightly laughed, “Ms. Sharp probably has no clue yet, relying on Nathan alone won’t bring in $100 billion.”
“Nathan?” Rose frowned, “When have I ever relied on Nathan?”
Kendal Roy smiled, “Ms. Sharp, stop pretending. The three alliances already know it wasn’t the God of War who helped you. Continuing to play dumb is just ridiculous.”
In her view, Rose denying Nathan was an attempt to continue using a smokescreen to deter the others.
After all, if others were unaware of Rose’s backing, they would be wary, hesitant to make a move.
Now that Lilia’s side was asserting this confidently, Rose’s denials were futile.
Scarlet was stunned when she heard this.
A God of War had left, and now a Nathan?
What was this about?
Flynn was also confused.
He couldn’t understand how Lilia could suspect Nathan.
That guy went to Pelens to monitor Isaac. If he knew about this, he would probably be even more baffled.
Kendal Roy noticed the silent crowd and thought he had guessed correctly, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth as he confidently stated:
“In this business battle, Sharp’s Group has no hope of winning, but I can help Ms. Sharp save the company.”
“Oh? The second in command can save me?” Rose asked with a playful smile.
“Of course!” Kendal Roy replied confidently, “After Maximo and the others were destroyed, the headquarters of the Eight Extremities School asked me to soothe General Yancey’s feelings.”
“I’ve booked a banquet at the Peninsula Hotel, inviting all the major players to attend.”
“Cruz and General Yancey have agreed to come.”
“Layla and Lilia have also agreed, the time is set for the day after tomorrow.”
“I want to use this opportunity to talk about your situation. There’s no need for everyone to be at odds. Wouldn’t it be better to shake hands, make peace, and all prosper together?”
Upon hearing this, Flynn burst out laughing, “Soothe the feelings of Cruz and Yves Yancey?”
“Hmm… soothing them wouldn’t be bad either, considering I had those two clean up the mess. With limbs and arms everywhere, it’s disgusting and horrible. They’re definitely not happy.”
Flynn meant that Yves Yancey and his companion wouldn’t dare be angry at him, but they would surely blame the Eight Extremities School for causing trouble.
If the Eight Extremities School hadn’t stirred up trouble, they wouldn’t have had to do such a miserable job.
Thus, it was only reasonable for the Eight Extremities School to appease them.
But the crowd was stunned upon hearing this.
Huh?
Instructing General Yancey and Cruz to clean up the mess?
Are you an elder of the Imperial Center?
Or an old timer from Dragonguard?
Or, perhaps more impressively, are you the ruler of the nation?
I think you’re nothing but delusional!
“Ha ha ha…”
Kendal Roy and others laughed uproariously, looking at Flynn as if he were a fool, shaking their heads continuously.
Athena Ross, with a look of disgust, coldly said, “Do you even know what kind of existence the Heavenly King of the Nation is?”
“Commanding three hundred thousand strong, a Greater Sovereign, respected by all. And you claim he’s just an underling who cleans up your messes?”
Flynn shrugged his shoulders and scoffed, “So what if he’s powerful? He’s still my disciple.”
Genevieve Everett snorted and turned to Rose, saying, “Ms. Sharp, do you hear this nonsense? He’s even claiming to be the master of the Heavenly King of the Nation.”
“I bet he’ll be calling the elders of Dragonguard his brothers soon!”
Kendal Roy chuckled, “Flynn, although I was in the Alwood Mountains yesterday, I still know what happened here in Niarak.”
“You challenged Maximo, right?”
“Then he gathered six thousand experts, and you, scared, went into hiding.”
“Just when you were terrified out of your wits, news came that General Yancey had annihilated Maximo and his men, so you started to boast again.”
“Knowing that General Yancey wouldn’t bother with a nobody, you went around claiming you had killed Maximo and his men.”
“I know your motive. It’s just to save face and intimidate the enemy, right?”
“But don’t you think that’s childish? It’s nothing but self-deception!”
Rose also shook her head.
She tended to agree with Kendal Roy.
After all, the incident was too significant; one person killing a thousand, and all of them internal energy masters.
It was said that without even moving, just by stepping forward, everyone within a hundred meters exploded into a mist of blood.
This caused an extraordinary phenomenon at Cloudgate Mountain, with frequent thunderstorms, the earth splitting, and the sky darkening.
Such ability requires at least the realm of a Greater Sovereign-how could Flynn possibly achieve this?
Rose leaned more toward this view-Flynn knew Cruz and Yves Yancey were coming to Niarak, timed it right at noon, and asked Cruz to request Yves Yancey to take action.
Cruz agreed, and Flynn, seeing a rare opportunity, let Maximo gather all his connections and power to eradicate them with Yves Yancey’s help.
Otherwise, with Flynn’s ability as a Great Grandmaster, even if he wanted to kill Maximo, he would have to plan carefully and not rush.
He wouldn’t have let Maximo call for people either.
However.
“Self-deception?” Flynn scoffed coldly,
“The banquet is the day after tomorrow, and Cruz is also going, right? Good then, ask him who exactly killed Maximo and his men that day!”
