The bespectacled man was Eos, Marino’s godson. He had done plenty of things for Marino before. At this very moment, Eos was scared out of his wits. “Why were you guys targeting Korah?” Cyrus squatted down and stared at Eos quizzically. “M-Mr. Hunt received orders from the CEO of Haco Corporation. He wants Mr. Hunt to capture Korah so that he can threaten Wade Gardner into giving up on bidding for the International Prosperous Project…”“Is this project really important to Gardner Corporation?” Cyrus asked. “Very… Gardner Corporation transferred most of its funds to fund this project, and they also rejected many other projects…”After a moment of thought, Cyrus asked, “What will happen to Gardner Corporation if they don’t take on this project?” Eos gulped. “Haco Corporation wants to absorb Gardner Corporation. If Gardner Corporation doesn’t manage to take the project, Wade Gardner won’t be able to use those funds, and they’ll just end up as idle funds.”Cyrus pondered this.

Without Korah and Wade around, Ekialde and the others were abnormally obedient and respectful toward Cyrus. “Do you know about the International Prosperous Project?” Cyrus asked.Ekialde was slightly stunned before he asked, “Don’t you know about it? The company has been preparing for this project for around five months.”“Is the probability of them getting the project high?” Cyrus asked. “That, I don’t know. But I think the probability is quite low. I heard that they have already decided on who is getting the project. The person with the greatest support will be the one getting it.”“Does Haco Corporation have someone supporting it?”“Of course! I heard that the person supporting Haco Corporation is quite powerful. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been avoiding going up against Haco Corporation over the years of development.”Cyrus then thought about what Eos had said and asked, “Is Gardner Corporation going to go bankrupt if it doesn’t get the project?”“That’s an exaggeration,

Cyrus answered, “My master owes Mr. Lufian a favor, and I’m there to return it on his behalf. “I’m just staying at their place for the time being. Mr. Lufian is kind to me.”He remembered Korah’s warning and did not tell anyone else about their fake marriage. “I see…” Zedekiah felt as if a veil had been lifted over his head, and he looked at Redmond. “Tell Mr. Battson that he is to hand the International Prosperous Project to the Gardner family.”Redmond nodded. “I’ve already told him through the phone.”Cyrus was momentarily stunned before he asked, “You have a say in the International Prosperous Project?”Truman spoke up beside him, “It seems like you do not quite understand the Penn family, Cyrie. There are only a few things that the Penn family cannot decide upon in Atralo.”Was this what Mr. Frank meant by famous families and powerful families?Cyrus hesitated before he said, “Thank you… But you can’t just hand over something without asking for a price…”Zedekiah immedi

After the banquet ended, Lufian and the rest of the Gardner family went to the Ember Hotel.Michael, Mr. Battson’s secretary, was already waiting downstairs.When he noticed them entering the lobby, he hurriedly rushed over. “Mr. Gardner!” Michael smiled warmly. “Michael!” Lufian took the initiative and stretched out his hand. Michael took his hand and shook it. He then said with a smile, “Mr. Battson is already upstairs waiting. Let me lead the way.”“Alright. Thank you, Michael!”Lufian felt a little nervous, but excited as well! After a while, they reached presidential suite No. 2002.Michael led them in. At first glance, Lufian noticed a charismatic middle-aged man with graying hair. It must be Mr. Battson, the man who could decide the ownership of the International Prosperous Project!“Mr. Gardner, I’ve heard so much about you!”“Mr. Battson! Sorry for the wait!” Lufian hurriedly approached him. “It’s okay. Come, take a seat.”Lufian and the others were a little

Before Ekialde could finish speaking, a loud noise rang out and the phone call was cut off. Cyrus froze. He then immediately searched for the location that Ekialde mentioned and rushed there. ……When Cyrus reached Juglans Bar on Carmine Street, he pushed open the door and went in. It was dimly lit and the whole place smelled like a mixture of unpleasant things.Bang!The lights suddenly turned on, and the bar instantly became bright as day. “Well, looks like someone is looking for trouble,” said someone sarcastically. Cyrus immediately looked toward the booth seats.The man who spoke was sitting on the couch. Ekialde, Talia, Nigel, and the rest of them were there too. Ekialde’s face was bloody. The person who spoke was stepping on his head. He looked at Cyrus mockingly. Beside him were a few men; some looked bulky and some looked refined. Miguel Robinson laughed mockingly. “Oh, I was scared when my subordinate called for reinforcements. So, it’s him? Just him?”Hi
