William slapped the table and shouted, "Men, show them out!"Immediately, several employees walked in, ready to escort Liam and Calum out.Liam raised his hand and said, "Hold on!"Seeing this, William smirked with satisfaction, thinking he won. "It seems Mr. Cole has come to his senses. That’s more like it. Twenty million dollars for our factory is a fair price. If you’ve made up your mind, stop wasting time and sign the contract."Liam let out a cold laugh, his eyes glinting with frost. "No, no, no, Mr. Vincenzo. I think you misunderstood. I’m not agreeing to sign for 20 million dollars. I’ve also changed my mind. Your factory’s original asking price was six million dollars, correct? Then I’ll offer four million dollars to buy it. How does that sound?"William was momentarily stunned.'What?! Four million dollars?'Realizing what Liam said, William's expression darkened. He pushed his secretary off his lap and stood up from his chair, glaring at Liam with eyes full of fury.P
William laughed maliciously, his eyes full of menace. "That's right! I'm forcing this deal. The only way for you to walk out of this office is to sign the contract!"Liam scoffed. "And what if I refuse to sign?""What?! Refuse to sign? Looks like you need to be taught a lesson. Boys, break his legs and then pin him down to sign the contract!"William's face contorted with rage as he barked his orders, his eyes gleaming with a murderous intent.At his command, four thugs armed with batons advanced toward Liam with a sinister grin on their faces. To them, Liam appeared weak and easy to overpower. He was not their match at all. They were confident it would only take two punches at most to take him down.At that moment, Calum, standing by Liam's side, narrowed his eyes and swiftly drew a gun from his waist. In a quick motion, he positioned himself behind William, twisting his arms behind his back and pressing the cold, menacing barrel of the gun against William's temple."You've got
"Mr. Cole, sorry for coming late, but you can rest assured everything outside has been taken care of," Eaden said respectfully.Liam nodded in acknowledgment.As soon as William recognized who walked in, his face went pale with fear, and his eyes filled with terror. His legs went weak, causing him to nearly collapse onto the ground."Mr. Wafer!" Eaden's voice trembled as he spoke, indicating just how terrified he was.'What on earth is going on? What's the mafia boss doing here? Who exactly is this Mr. Cole to make even Eaden Wafer behave so deferentially toward him?'William dared not imagine. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind, 'This is it. It's all over for me.'Calum, who held onto William, released him. He watched as William knelt on the ground, then chuckled coldly and asked, "Well, Mr. Vincenzo, weren't you just being arrogant? Why are you kneeling now?"As Calum spoke, he kicked William, continuing, "Say something! Weren't you just saying you'd crippl
Trembling all over and ignoring the glass shards beneath him, William hastily crawled up from the ground. He knelt in despair, crying out, "Mr. Cole, I truly realize my mistake! Please spare me this time. Four million dollars for the acquisition is too little. The factory was originally priced at six million dollars! Mr. Cole, I beg of you, I'm also in a difficult situation. I have elderly parents and young children depending on me. Please, have mercy. I truly know I was wrong.""Shut up!" Eaden angrily interrupted William's plea, his face full of anger as he stared at him with cold eyes. "William, you have some nerve. You should feel honored that Mr. Cole wants to buy your factory. Yet, you dare to raise the price! You know very well the value of your factory. Four million dollars is already more than fair. What more do you want?!"Eaden naturally exuded an aura of authority, and his anger made him even more intimidating.William was trembling like a leaf in the wind from fear. He
Liam gave a cold glance at the new contract and said icily, "If you agree, then sign it.""Yes, yes, I'll sign it right away."Looking at the newly printed contract and the price of four million dollars, William felt extremely unwilling, but he was constrained by fear and had no choice but to sign it.As soon as he finished signing, William felt as if all his strength was drained from him. He slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.He thought the matter would end there, but to his surprise, Liam's cold voice rang out again after signing the contract."It's not over yet. You mentioned someone competing with me earlier. Who is it?" Liam asked coldly.William's heart trembled. At that point, he had no choice but to answer honestly, "Mr. Cole, it's Bristow Group. They offered 16 million dollars to buy my factory."Liam chuckled coldly, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent. "Haha, Bristow Group? Very well, it seems they haven't learned their lesson!"Afterwa
The assistant did not expect William to sell the factory at a low price and then curse him out. It took a while for the assistant to snap out of his daze.He quickly put away his phone and approached Yousef, who was smoking by the French windows. With great respect, he said, "Sir, we failed to acquire Nirvana Factory."Yousef's hand paused as he took a drag from his cigarette, and his expression quickly turned grim. After a few moments of silence, he said, "Then we need to come up with a new plan. I must bankrupt the Stones this time! I want Liam to know the consequences for crossing me! Let's see if he'll still be as lucky this time.""Yes, sir. We'll bankrupt the Stones this time!" promised the assistant with a sinister nod. He then handed some documents to Yousef. "Sir, we have also found out that although the Stones successfully bought the factory, the equipment there is insufficient to meet their production demands. So, they will need to purchase another batch of equipment."Y
Marcus quickly explained, "Mr. Yale, you've misunderstood. The company we want to deal with is not from the state capital. Let me be direct with you, Bristow Group wants to deal with the Stone family."Hunter became even more puzzled. He asked with a frown, "The Stone family? I do have some recollection of their company, but it's just a small company. Is there any competition between their company and Bristow Group?"While it was common for companies to compete with each other for market share, the Stone family's company was just a small company in Drunham City, incomparable to Bristow Group from the state capital. These two were essentially unrelated, so how could they suddenly become competitors?Hunter's expression turned serious. As the vice chairman of The Connoisseurs, it would be unreasonable for him to arbitrarily suppress a local company without a valid reason!Marcus explained, "Mr. Yale, all you need to know is that's what Mr. Bristow wants. As for other reasons, it's be
"What? He wants you to seize Stone Group?" One of his friends was stunned beyond measure, staring at him with a look of disbelief. Truth be told, Hunter was just as baffled as they were. "I don't know why, either. What do you guys think about this?"They all turned to stare at him, smiles creeping onto their faces after they had gotten over their initial shock. "It's splendid news! Stone Group isn't that big of a company, anyway, so you won't be getting in much trouble. Bristow Group, on the other hand, is one of the largest and most successful corporations in the capital. Do you have any idea how much power they hold within them? Besides, didn't they say they'd establish a new company in Drunham City to replace Stone Group and have you appointed as manager once you'd pulled off the task? This is amazing news! You're basically getting a promotion—and a giant one at that!""Indeed, Hunter. Between Stone Group and Bristow Group, it's a no-brainer. Even an idiot would know which to ch
