These three pieces of news were enough to cause a sensation, capturing the attention of countless people. Niarak once again became the center of public opinion.
Madeline Kaur had also heard about it.
After all, it was being discussed both online and in the streets.
Moreover, one piece of news was related to the Kaur family, causing them to become busy.
The Kaur family was nervous and excited.
After all, the Clark family, the top family in Slatin, was incomparable to even a thousand Kaur families combined!
They boasted two vice-commander-level officials in positions of power and had produced a martial arts prodigy.
This kind of family within the military, political, and business system would be able to rival those aristocratic families in five years.
As for the Kaur family, they were merely an ordinary wealthy family at best. If the Clark family bestowed some favor upon them, the Kaurs would be set for life, so naturally, the Kaur family had to welcome the Clark family with the best attitude.
However, Matteo Kaur couldn’t feel happy about it.
When he learned Paxton Clark would come, he was not pleased at all. He didn’t even want to hear that name.
But for the sake of Flynn, Matteo Kaur could only act as an intermediary and persuade the father and son to reconcile.
After all, if Flynn continued to confront the Clark family, he would have no way out but death.
“Matteo, your old friend will be here in half an hour,” said Max Kaur with a smiling face as he walked over. Frank Kaur was following behind him.
They hadn’t slept well that night.
Today was such an important day.
They felt as if they were hosting the emperor in their own home, feeling anxious, fearful, and honored all at once.
Matteo Kaur impatiently nodded his head.
This was the third time his older brother asked. He asked almost every half an hour. It was getting on his nerves. Just as he was about to go back inside for some peace and quiet, a Porsche suddenly stopped at the gate.
Flynn got out of the car.
“Flynn, why are you here?” Matteo Kaur was surprised and flustered. He hadn’t informed Flynn about Paxton Clark’s arrival yet.
He had to understand Paxton Clark’s thoughts before he could talk to Flynn about it.
Flynn frowned and said with some confusion, “Uncle Matteo, didn’t we agree yesterday that I would come today?”
He didn’t say it explicitly because he was afraid that others from the Kaur family would find out. He pulled Matteo Kaur back into the house and took out a medical book.
“Uncle Matteo, this is the medical book that was stolen from you ten years ago. I’ve brought it back for you.” Flynn handed the medical book to Matteo Kaur.
Matteo Kaur looked at the medical book and felt a mix of emotions. He couldn’t help but be lost in thought.
Ten years ago, Adrianna Noble gave him a medical book. Before he had a chance to study it, he encountered thugs who took it away from him.
He briefly looked through its contents.
The content of this medical book was similar to the one from ten years ago, but he didn’t think it was the same one. Based on his investigation, that medical book had fallen into the hands of Komatsu Conglomerate.
Komatsu Conglomerate had released several new drugs in recent years that Matteo Kaur had seen in that medical book. Komatsu Conglomerate was quite shameless, not even bothering to change the formula names before using them to name their new drugs. Adrianna Noble likely gave Flynn an identical medical book. Flynn was afraid it would fall into Paxton Clark’s hands, which was why he had secretly passed the book to him. Flynn refused to tell Paxton Clark the whereabouts of the medical book even at the cost of his life, showing that Flynn decided to fight Paxton Clark to the bitter end.
“Child, you should keep this medical book. In critical moments, it could…” Matteo Kaur began speaking but Flynn interrupted with a smile, “Uncle Matteo, it’s okay. I know everything in this medical book. I don’t need it.”
Flynn misunderstood Matteo Kaur’s intention. Flynn thought his Uncle Matteo meant that he could use it during critical moments to treat people’s illnesses.
But Flynn didn’t need that at all.
He knew everything that was in the medical book, and even what wasn’t in there as well.
“Uncle Matteo, you should keep it. Although some of the prescriptions inside are difficult to understand, if you master them, it will be a great fortune for you.”
“You can even become a famous doctor with it. It’s not impossible. Besides, this is a gift from my mother.”
“Just keep it. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”
Flynn smiled and insisted that Matteo Kaur keep it.
The book had over a hundred pages and recorded his mother’s experiences along with some ancient formulas.
There weren’t many ancient formulas-just over ten-but they were recorded in great detail and had all been stolen by Komatsu Conglomerate.
However, his mother’s medical knowledge was difficult to comprehend. They were like drafts rather than finished prescriptions.
It required profound medical knowledge to follow his mother’s train of thought.
For Flynn, it wasn’t difficult at all. But for many other experts in medicine, it would be quite troublesome.
That was also why Komatsu Conglomerate had only released around ten new medicines over these ten years-they couldn’t understand his mother’s thoughts.
Seeing how determined Flynn was, Matteo Kaur no longer refused. Whenever Flynn wanted it back, he would return it then.
After taking the medical book to his study room, Matteo Kaur saw Madeline Kaur walking in with Layla Woods following behind her.
“Flynn, Ms. Woods wants to talk to you,” Madeline Kaur said indifferently before giving Layla Woods a slight smile and taking Matteo Kaur out into the courtyard.
Flynn sat on the sofa with a playful expression on his face as he said sarcastically,
“Aren’t you going to Jade Dragon Mountain for apprenticeship anymore?”
Layla Woods frowned at Molly George’s gossiping nature-she even told Flynn about this!
“I’m here to discuss peace negotiations with you.”
“The Woods family will return the enterprise that rightfully belongs to the Sharp’s Group. This business war ends here!” Layla Woods directly stated her purpose.
Six months ago, after the Dragon Gate Group alliance brought down the Sharp’s Group, they took over five enterprises. The Swanson family took over two businesses. The Hussain family took over two businesses. The Woods family took over one business.
Layla Woods wanted to use the return of this enterprise as a bargaining chip to secure peace for the Woods family.
But even if the Woods’ Group lost billions due to Dragon Gate Group’s failure,
Layla Woods wasn’t too worried.
Rose Sharp wanted to use the same tactics against the Woods family that she had used against the Swanson family and the Hussain family.
But Layla Woods wasn’t afraid.
The Woods family was different from the Hussain family. And she was not Lilia Hussain. Layla Woods simply didn’t want any more entanglements.
Witnessing the battle between Lord Valerian Nox and Jack Jenkins further strengthened Layla Woods’ belief in focusing on medicine and martial arts.
Money was not that important.
A few billion was enough.
Mastering martial arts was what mattered the most.
“Why are you coming to me instead of Ms. Sharp?” Flynn said coldly with an indifferent expression.
Layla Woods glanced at Flynn and said, “Are you still pretending, Mr. Clark? Wasn’t it you who made fifty billion dollars?”
The public believed that Flynn was behind the Sharp’s Group.
His words carried weight.
Flynn laughed, “Yes, I made fifty hundred billion dollars, but Rose Sharp is the CEO of the Sharp’s Group. I don’t care about these things.”
Layla Woods clearly didn’t believe Flynn’s words. She knew the man was just trying to give her a hard time.
“Mr. Clark, to date, the Sharp’s Group has profited over one hundred billion from this business war.”
“You’ve probably received tens of billions in dividends yourself. That should be enough.”
“I hope you can spare the Dragon Gate Group alliance,” Layla Woods looked at Flynn and said calmly.
Flynn was momentarily stunned.
So, did this woman really cut ties with Lilia Hussain? Didn’t she know about yesterday’s events?
“Who told you I profited tens of billions? I didn’t take a single cent of that money.”
“Enough! Go discuss this with Ms. Sharp. I don’t participate in the Sharp’s Group’s internal decisions.” Flynn crossed his legs and adopted a dismissive attitude.
“You didn’t take any money?” Layla Woods couldn’t hide her shock. “Working for free? Why?”
Tens of billions in dividends!
This guy didn’t take a single cent?
His relationship with Rose Sharp must be extraordinarily complex!
“Why? Do I need to explain myself to you?”
“Even if I explained, how much could a woman who only treats patients for money understand?” Flynn’s lips curled into a disdainful smile as his expression showed impatience.
This woman was so annoying.
Clingy like a leech.
Who was she putting on that sour face for anyway?
Reconciliation? Even if the Sharp’s Group agreed, would the Woods family really be safe?
Back then when Flynn caused trouble at the Clark family, Layla Woods’s father, who had received kindness from Flynn’s mother, not only refused to help but advised the Clark family to send Flynn to Demon Island Prison to fend for himself.
When Tessa Watson’s birthday came, shouldn’t they settle this score?
