“Is that it?”Joseph sat at the long table while drinking his milk calmly.“Is that all he can do?”“Has he already run out of tricks?”“How boring.”Ruby frowned.“It’s not just that, Young Master Bauer.”“The stocks of Flutwell’s business alliance has been plummeting since this morning because of what happened the past two days.”“One tenth of our stocks were gone in just a matter of minutes!”“The elders of the business alliance have very big opinions about us right now.”“They called here asking you to deal with that b*stard Harvey as soon as possible.”“If not, they want you to compensate for the losses in the stock market.”“They signed a capital guarantee agreement, after all…”After a few battles against Harvey, Joseph’s strength was a lot better compared to before.After hearing Ruby’s words, however, he was on the verge of coughing up blood.“These old b*stards!”Joseph revealed a deathly cold gaze.“They were the ones crying to join Flutwell’s business allia

Harvey smiled after hearing Joseph’s threats.“We’re all smart people, Young Master Bauer.”“There’s no need to beat around the bush like that.”“If this alone can ruin my reputation, you would’ve done it by now with your authority.”“Why would you threaten me with this right now?”“You didn’t do this because you knew there’s no point in these people confessing.”Ruby was filled with unbridled rage upon seeing Harvey’s arrogance and disrespect.“Don’t you have any self-awareness at all?!” she exclaimed, slamming the table.“What do you mean, there’s no point?”“Those people are yours! Everyone will know that you acted out the entire thing if they confess!”“You’re finished!”“The people who admire you will turn their weapons against you!”“We’ll let you know how it feels to fall from power soon enough!”Clap, clap, clap!Harvey clapped his hands with a playful expression.“Your subordinate here has a sharp tongue…”“It’s just that her brain’s a little slow.”Harvey poi

“B*stard!”Joseph slammed the table, furious.“Dream on, Harvey!”“Even if Flutwell’s new district rots… Even if I die, I’ll never sell it to you!”“Fine. I won’t buy it.”“So, are you selling the chain Budokans?”Harvey gave another friendly suggestion, not at all angry at Joseph’s outburst. “Your chain Budokans are getting smashed up every single day, anyway. There’s no way you’ll be able to do business using them. Your reputation’s dead in the water as well.”“I’ll give you a hundred and fifty million if you give all the chain Budokans to me. I’ll take your instructors and all the other workers with me too!”“See? I’m doing all this just for you! That’s one less burden for you. You’ll have money to do some of your other businesses, too!”“I really am a good friend, right?”“You b*stard!”Joseph changed expressions.“My chain Budokans got into this mess because of your shameless tricks! Yet you’re here trying to buy them?!”Ruby and the others were in an uproar as well

Half an hour later, the stocks of Flutwell’s business alliance dropped by a dozen points.Right as the stocks were rising, a huge amount of capital flooded into the market.The capital went straight for the alliance, buying short stocks in an instant.The investors were completely shocked when they saw hundreds of thousands of pending orders.They all sold their stocks almost at the same time, afraid that they’ll turn into worthless numbers.In just a few minutes, Flutwell’s business alliance’s stocks plummeted from forty-four dollars to only twenty-eight dollars.One-third of the alliance’s billion-dollar market value was immediately gone.Aside from the people in Flutwell, who were following the situation, investors from abroad were completely in the dark.The simplest way to stop a situation like this is always to prevent it from happening.Under these circumstances, the stock prices of Flutwell’s business alliance would be completely slaughtered if people kept selling thei

“Propose?”Ruby froze; even she couldn’t comprehend just how stupid Lilian actually was.But for the sake of the plan, she remained calm and collected.“Mrs. Yates, of course Young Master Bauer will propose to CEO Zimmer. But not today, and not right now.”“We wanted you to call her here to ask for her help…”“What kind of help?”Lilian was confused.“Your dear son-in-law is causing Young Master Bauer trouble right now.”“Young Master Bauer is extremely unhappy. We hope your daughter can convince Harvey to stop.”“This will do no good to anyone involved, after all!”There was something Ruby didn’t say: even if Mandy couldn’t help, they would still use her to distract Harvey anyway.Everything had to be done before the end of the stock market that afternoon. If not, it would all be for naught.“That b*stard’s causing trouble for Young Master Bauer?!”Lilian instantly raised her voice.“Doesn’t he want my daughter to live in peace?!”“Don’t worry! I’ll make sure Mandy deal
