"You...!" Iris' fingers clenched tightly at her sides. For a moment, she couldn't even find the words to respond. She had expected Tristan to threaten her, perhaps use his family's influence to make things difficult for Raven & Radiance. But she hadn't expected him to act so quickly.He had actually managed to get the Quality and Standards Bureau to target the entire company.This wasn't just a threat anymore. It was a direct attempt to destroy Raven & Radiance."Iris, weren't you going to call the police earlier?" Naomi's voice suddenly rang out. The smug smile on her face made it obvious how pleased she was with the situation."Now that your company has been blacklisted, let's see if you still dare to call the police." She folded her arms and let out a mocking scoff. "Hmph!""Iris, I advised you earlier, but you refused to listen." Catherine immediately joined in, her previous anxiety replaced by a look of satisfaction. "Now look at what has happened."She glanced toward the employe

As the middle-aged man rushed forward, several people in the crowd immediately recognized him."Wait..." Victor's eyes widened. "Isn't that the leader of the Highmont Quality and Standards Bureau, Jude Parker?"The moment he said it, the entire crowd erupted in whispers."The head of the Quality and Standards Bureau?""Why is he here?""Could he be the person Veyron called earlier?""But how is that possible?"Everyone's attention shifted toward Jude Parker as he continued walking forward, several guards following behind him.Nobody had expected the head of the bureau to personally appear at Raven & Radiance.And considering the timing of his arrival, it was difficult not to connect him with the phone call Veyron had made earlier.Naomi, however, didn't seem concerned. Instead, she snickered coldly and glanced sideways at Iris. "Why else would he be here?""Isn't it because of Raven & Radiance?" Her expression became increasingly sinister. "They violated the regulations, so Jude Parke

Tristan Harrington clenched his fists tightly. An oppressive anger flashed through his eyes as he stared at Augustus Laurent.Just moments ago, he had taken the initiative to greet Augustus. Yet the other man hadn't even acknowledged his existence.But now, Augustus had personally approached Veyron and shaken his hand. The difference in treatment was impossible to ignore.Tristan's expression darkened. This old bastard was obviously looking down on him!But before he could say anything, Augustus Laurent turned toward the crowd."Everyone!" His voice immediately silenced the surrounding whispers. "After conducting a proper investigation, we have confirmed that the contamination found in the jewelry was caused by Naomi Rossi and her company, Naomi's Gems."The moment Augustus said those words, everyone's attention shifted toward Naomi. Her face instantly became pale.He then continued without giving her a chance to defend herself. "Raven & Radiance is also a victim in this matter, just

"I simply contacted Cartier and informed them of what was happening. I didn't expect their Chairman to find out about it." Veyron shrugged casually. "Besides, it's normal for him to help. Raven & Radiance has signed several projects with Cartier, so this incident would affect them too.""Oh." Iris nodded slowly, a slightly bitter smile appearing on her lips.Her voice dropped into a quiet mumble. "I was starting to think you were really the Legendary Warlord... But how could that be?"Veyron heard her clearly. He shook his head with a faint smile. He had already explained it to her countless times. And after everything that had happened today, the evidence was becoming more obvious by the day.Yet Iris still refused to believe him. For some reason, she seemed determined to find another explanation for everything he did.Veyron lowered both hands onto the desk and leaned slightly toward her. His icy-green eyes held a hint of amusement."What if I really am the Legendary Warlord?" he as

The murderous intent on Raymond Aldridge's face instantly disappeared. He stared at Tristan carefully, his eyes narrowing with curiosity."What exactly do you mean, Lord Harrington?"Tristan took another sip from his glass before placing it on the table with a soft clink. He leaned back comfortably and repeated himself."I said, if I have a way to help you defeat both Ancient Sage Medical Pavilion and Cartier, would you be willing to try?"Raymond's eyes trembled. The gloom that had filled his face moments ago was replaced by unmistakable excitement. Even his breathing became slightly heavier."If I may ask..." His voice carried a trace of eagerness. "What exactly is your plan, Lord Harrington?"Tristan smiled faintly. "I have received word that Gerald Cromwell is coming to Highmont in search of a divine physician capable of curing his illness."He picked up one bottle and poured the liquor into two glasses. "If you can cure him, I'll personally persuade him to invest heavily in both
