Chapter 773: Evermore Holdings

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2025-2-5

“Alright, Uncle Matteo, I understand.” Flynn listened to Matteo Kaur’s instructions and remained silent.
After hanging up the phone, he let out a bitter smile.
Never did he expect that Lord Valerian Nox would become the center of attention in the matter of killing Stellan Wallace.
But wsn’t he Lord Valerian Nox himself?
Well, it was better this way, to save Uncle Matteo from worrying.
Scarlet also saw the messages in the group chat and couldn’t help but be stunned.
Her emotions also eased a bit.
“Phew…”
Scarlet let out a sigh and said seriously, “Since Lord Valerian Nox is taking responsibility for this, you must not get involved anymore.”
“There are too many extraordinary experts in the cultivation world. The head of the Jenkins family is at the peak of Lesser Sovereign. If you were to fight, there’s no way you could leave Jade Dragon Mountain alive!”
After saying this, Scarlet pinched Flynn hard and glared at him.
She wasn’t worried about Flynn getting into a fight.
After all, even if Flynn lacked self-awareness, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to challenge an unbeatable opponent.
He probably was scared now.
“Go to sleep quickly! I’m leaving!” Scarlet turned around and left.
She had originally planned to stay here for the night, but she had no mood for it anymore. She cried so hard for this annoying man today.
Flynn touched his nose and didn’t try to stop her.
He wanted to study the iron meteorite that Jan Struff had given him.
Besides, he was tired of Scarlet’s nagging.
“The cold aura is really strong!” Flynn looked at the black stone on the ground with surprise.
Fortunately, Jan Struff had served in the military when he was young and was physically strong. Otherwise, his body would have been severely affected.
Flynn speculated that this iron meteorite had been on a planet with temperatures below minus several hundred degrees for thousands of years.
The cold aura had improved its elemental structure, making it extremely hard. To forge it, it would need to be continuously heated for five days straight.
It also required the activation of Greater Sovereign-level spiritual energy and a furnace made of fire-resistant clay.
It was difficult to find such a furnace. Forging it will be very time-consuming and labor-intensive!
But all the hard work would be worth it.
If he could forge it into a giant sword, then nothing in the world would be able to destroy it.
Just then, Rose called him.
“Did you kill Stellan Wallace?”
Flynn was taken aback and laughed, “Ms. Sharp, you really have your ear to the ground!”
“This news is everywhere now. Even three-year-old kids know about it.” Rose’s words carried some resentment.
Clearly, she was blaming Flynn for being too ruthless.
Defeat was enough. There was no need to kill him and turn Maisie into a vegetable.
Wasn’t this looking for trouble?
“Ms. Sharp, this is my personal matter. If you come after me for it, I’ll hang up,” Flynn said irritably.
After Uncle Matteo’s phone call and Scarlet’s nagging, Rose repeating it again was just annoying.
He wanted to show his power.
But those people were too weak to withstand his power at all.
If Flynn unleashed his full power, Jade Dragon Mountain would be flattened.
That’was why Molly thought Flynn was a Lesser Sovereign. He couldn’t fully display his abilities anyway.
Moreover, killing one Stellan Wallace wasn’t worth using all his power either.
“I don’t care about your mess. I already have 50 billion dollars in my hands. I’ve won,” Rose said indifferently.
“It has nothing to do with me if you live or die.”
Rose’s voice on the other end of the phone sounded like a smile but not a smile.
“You’re really heartless, Ms. Sharp. Wouldn’t you feel upset if I were killed?” Flynn joked.
Rose sneered, “What is there for me to feel upset about? If you die, once I defeat Dragon Gate Group, I can keep a little extra money for myself.”
Having known Flynn for so long, Rose always found him to be an enigmatic person. Especially after today’s events, her curiosity about him only deepened.
She even had a feeling that Maximo Goff’s downfall might have been caused by Flynn.
After all, everyone believed he was a Great Grandmaster. However, at Jade Dragon Mountain, Flynn easily killed Stellan Wallace.
If that were true, he must be a Greater Sovereign or above. Killing the head of the Jenkins family wouldn’t be difficult for Flynn at all.
Once she figured this out, Rose wasn’t so worried anymore.
“Well… that reason sounds good.” Flynn paused for a moment and raised an eyebrow. “But hearing that makes me feel like doing something.”
“Especially spanking someone.”
Rose’s face darkened.
She remembered the day when Flynn spanked her. It made her angry.
But how could she let Flynn have his way? The angrier she got, the happier he became, right?
She wouldn’t let him have his way!
“People who are prone to mischief are like that. Here’s some advice, Mr. Clark, you should chop off your hand,” Rose said with a fake smile on her face.
Seeing that Rose didn’t get provoked by his comment, Flynn felt displeased and said softly, “Ms. Sharp is so boring. You don’t understand any romance.”
“Are you flirting with me? Just so you know, my phone has a recording function,” Rose pursed her lips and smiled mischievously.
Flynn couldn’t help but said irritably, “Rose, you’re such… a small-minded person!”
“Hahaha…” Rose couldn’t help but laugh and then said seriously, “Alright, let’s talk business.”
“The retail investors are selling off their shares of the Sharp’s Group. These shares have all fallen into the hands of Evermore Holdings.”
“Evermore Holdings? If I’m not mistaken, the owner is Lilia Hussain.”
“That’s correct,” Rose said. “According to my investigation, Evermore Holdings is a headhunter formed by Lilia Hussain and her allies.”
Flynn replied lackadaisically, “Let’s stay put for now. Let her do what she wants.”
“When she starts shorting on a large scale, we’ll make our move.”
Apart from Orion Kennedy and others holding shares in their hands, sixty percent of the Sharp’s Group shares were held by retail investors and moderate clients alike.
As long as Lilia Hussain owned more than thirty percent of the Sharp’s Group shares in total, she would start selling them off.
This would cause fluctuations in the Sharp’s Group stock price and create some negative news to muddy the waters further.
Other retail investors would follow suit and sell off their shares as well until the Sharp’s Group became unable to defend itself anymore.
However, they underestimated the Sharp’s Group’s financial strength. Lilia Hussain could sell as much as she wanted. They would buy as much as they needed back from her later on.
When Lilia Hussain realized that she couldn’t shake the Sharp’s Group anymore, her billions of dollars would be trapped inside it as well.
At that time, Rose would invest her 50 billion dollars into it entirely and Lilia Hussain along with her allies’ funds would collapse completely-over one hundred billion dollars gone!
Dragon Gate Group wouldn’t be able to bear it. Bankruptcy was inevitable for them under such massive debts.
Investors would come after Lilia Hussain then too.
Flynn agreed with Rose’s plan and nodded. “Tomorrow morning is also crucial. I’m looking forward to seeing you humiliate Layla Woods.”
“Sleep early tonight. No more watching videos of beautiful women,” Rose warned him seriously.
“Huh?” Flynn was taken aback and said seriously, “What do you mean by that, Ms. Sharp? Don’t judge others based on your own lowly character!”
Rose scoffed, “Oh, come on, stop pretending. Molly is following you on QuickSound. The videos you’ve liked are all those influencers, especially the ones flaunting their legs…”
“What? You guys can see what I like?” Flynn dropped the act, genuinely perplexed about how they could access his likes.
Rose chuckled lightly, unable to suppress her amusement.
“You’ve been in prison for ten years. You’re out of touch with society. You should look into it.”
“Now go to sleep quickly. Tomorrow is going to be a big day!”
