The Resurgence Of The War King Chapter 20
The party was ongoing as the hall had become crowded with many celebrities and prominent figures of Glacia City. At this moment, the party had become very lively.Just then, the emcee returned to the stage and announced, "As the main event of this occasion is about to go live, let's all welcome the amiable Chairman of Ace Company to the stage.""What?!""Could this be true?!""Paul Ashley would be joining the party?!"Loud applause erupted in the hall instantly while people were in total disbelief at the news.They exchanged glances of shock as it was so unusual for Paul Ashley to show up at an event.The chairman is the very busy type whose time is not always on his side.Then, the crowd concluded that for Paul Ashley to show up at the event himself, the upcoming project must mean so much to Ace Company.Clara turned to her daughter in ultimate excitement. "Felicia, I must say today is a good day for us."A soft smile was plastered on Felicia's face as she nodded slowly. "Indeed, it'

The air in the atmosphere ceased as Paul Ashley took a pause. Everyone's attention was piqued as they all fixated on him.The Chairman calmly gazed around the hall to gauge people's interest in finding out about the approved bidder."Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said again, "The eligible bidder for Ace Company's upcoming project is..."Loud exhales were heard in the hall instantly as everyone adjusted in their seats.Felicia and her team were secretly praying that the chairman's announcement would be in their favor. They wished the project would be handed over to the White Group so they could have a piece of the hot cake, too.However, among the Big Four, they already had an idea of who the eligible bidder among them was.After all, there were just four in number, each aware of the others' financial capacity.Jacob York was the richest among them, followed by Caled Houston, then Arnold Taylor, and lastly, Benjamin White.Given that, they could tell who among them would be awarded

The crowd was stunned as they all had their jaws dropped to the floor at the mention of the deafening amount.They thought Houston Group's five hundred million dollars was substantial until the mention of the two billion dollar proposal.Everyone couldn't wait to learn about the company that offers such a staggering amount for the project.Felicia and her colleagues were equally intrigued. Two billion dollars is a big deal. There's no doubt that a company making such an ear-piercing proposal would secure the project.At that moment, among the Big Four, they were in utter shock, wondering what mysterious company could sweep them all off their feet.It was more than a hard slap to their faces that the total amount proposed by the Big Four wasn't even up to 1.5 billion dollars. Yet, a single company had just offered two billion dollars for the project."Could it be that a company has been operating secretly in this city, intending to take over our position without our knowledge?" one of

The crowd all had their eyes widened in shock at her beauty."Oh my! I have never seen a lady as beautiful as this in my entire life!""I don't mind risking my life for a lady as hot as Miss Bolton!""I can't lie, Miss Bolton has to be an angel who descended from heaven. What a beauty!"The crowd couldn't express their shock less. It was their first time seeing the hottie, and they didn't mind killing themselves on her behalf.At this time, Kate's aura on the stage was very domineering and alluring. The whole crowd had their eyes glued on her as she walked up to the microphone and spoke."Good evening, everyone."Her voice was calm, yet it was icy enough to make an enemy freeze in an instant.The crowd cheered at her in response.Felicia and her team were already on their feet, their eyes remaining widened in disbelief. It was hard for them to understand how the lady who seemed to be Roderick's new lover was the well-known Kate Bolton of River City.Clara was so shocked, and so was Be

"Roderick Holmes? I have never heard such a name in this city.""I wonder what he has done to make Miss Bolton have so much faith in him."The crowd shifted their attention to the direction where the light shone as they whispered."This must be pure luck and nothing else. This guy doesn't look outstanding to me, as Miss Bolton said."The crowd never stopped to wonder as they found it hard to understand what interest Kate found in Roderick.Christina, who was sharing the same table with Roderick, had her eyes widened in shock. It was as though she was in the middle of a nightmare.She was trying to understand what her boss was up to, but she couldn't find anything meaningful in it.To her, Roderick was a con whose intentions weren't clear. Christina was still trying hard to separate this con from her boss, yet she went ahead, appointing him as the face of their newly awarded project.Thinking about all this made Christina's heart clench. Her head was pounding heavily with a headache as

As soon as these words fell from Benjamin's mouth, his colleagues' faces changed to show disagreement. They weren't expecting such a complex suggestion."We need to think this through, Benjamin. Don't you think that eliminating him would hinder us from achieving our goal?" Jacob hinted as they all contemplated it.After a quick consideration, they came to understand that if Roderick were eliminated, Kate Bolton might leave Glacia City in unannounced grief due to the bond between them.Their goal was to befriend Kate so she could connect them with the miracle doctor. If she had to leave the city now, their goal wouldn't be accomplished.Given that, they had to reject Benjamin's suggestion. Then Caleb Houston asked, "Since eliminating the fool isn't a better option, what else can be done?"They heaved a sigh before Jacob called for their attention. "There's a better option.""Air it out.""Let's look into it together, Jacob."His colleagues' eyes lit up as he seemed to have a better sug

Roderick's breath ceased immediately as the gorgeous woman flirted with him publicly. He couldn't understand how the Ice Queen could be so comfortable acting in such a manner in public.Given how seductively the lady had interacted with him in the past, Roderick already knew her to be a shameless flirt. But this time, he didn’t even know what to call her, as he never expected her to be unconcerned about people's gossip."It's fine, Miss Bolton," Roderick managed to say under his tightened breath as he gently took the beautiful palm away from his chest.Kate's alluring eyes were on Roderick when he spoke."Miss Bolton, I urge you to keep things professional this time. If not for anything else, at least to make me comfortable."Kate giggled as she gave Roderick a sultry gaze and said, "If that's what you want, it's no problem."Then, she slowly released her arm from Roderick's. "I guess we're good now?" she asked playfully as she got up from her seat.Roderick let out a breath of relief

"Miss Bolton, I'm sorry that I had to leave without informing you. I need to get somewhere urgently before it's too late."Kate slowly raised her head in panic after reading the text. She glanced around the vicinity but couldn't catch sight of Roderick. This indicated that the young man had left moments ago.If she had known that he would leave the venue unannounced, she wouldn't have taken her eyes off him while he was there.Roderick's unexpected exit hurt the gorgeous woman deeply. This was because, after finding out that today was his birthday, she had arranged a surprise birthday celebration. Not even Christina was aware of the plan.Kate had planned to surprise Roderick by driving him to the celebration venue after they left the Ace Company's dinner. Unfortunately, all the plans were ruined in an instant.Without thinking too long, Kate held Christina responsible for the mess and distortion of plans.This was because if her secretary hadn't suddenly invited her out of the hall,

Rodrick gently ended the ongoing call as Christina roared, "Roderick Holmes, why were you staring at me when you were asked the reason Miss Bolton appointed you to this post?! What does it have to do with me?!"Roderick was taken aback. He wondered if the lady was in her right mind. Did she really barge into his office to ask him such a silly question? Roderick was aware of her intentions toward him, so he wasn't too surprised.She shouldn't have been troubled if she had a clear conscience. Given how mad and enraged she looked, it was clear she had a skeleton in her cupboard.Roderick knew she must have been the one who invited the press to come over and interview him, so he would be publicly embarrassed if he was unable to answer their questions.Now that it turned out the joke was on her, she couldn't bear it as frustration comfortably feasted on her brain. Her eyes flashed disappointment and dissatisfaction.Roderick didn't follow her lead. He asked in a calm but icy voice, "Christ

Meanwhile, Roderick was on his way to the Bolton Group's office, following the given directions to the location.Soon, he was in the general manager's office, sitting before a laptop.The War King was already playing along with his role as he logged on to the company's website to review the submitted proposals as expected.Upon reaching the page, Roderick was greeted with a large number of proposals that needed to be reviewed.His brows lifted slightly as he heaved a deep sigh. He couldn't explain how the business spirit that was slowly gathering inside him instantly vanished. The thought of how long it would take to check through the proposals brought him back to the reality of who he was.Roderick instantly remembered he was a War King who only grew stronger and more active on the battlefield. Anything else aside from that would be quite difficult for him to align with.After a bit of reluctance, Roderick finally scrolled through the screen and opened one of the proposals.Reading t

The big four began to consider the possibility of whom among them Roderick might choose.Given the statistics, Jacob York had an advantage in the construction industry compared to the others. But the York Group didn't have enough funds to partner with the Bolton Group compared to Caleb Houston's this time.For that reason, Houston's Group might get the chance to be the partnering company.The fact that Caleb had been so watchful and careful with his words earlier, as he never wanted to offend Roderick, says a lot about his chances too.In conclusion, the big four were still in the dark about whose company it might be, as they had no idea about Roderick's criteria for choosing a partner.The big four were still calculating in their heads when Roderick added,"I would like the public to know that the big four aren't the only ones eligible to be the partnering company. Any company that shares the same goals and vision as the Bolton Group for the project is eligible to be the partnering c

Bella's face immediately frowned in disgust. Taking a thorough glance at the scene before her, her hatred for Roderick grew even stronger.'Why is there such a large crowd?' she questioned inwardly, derisively.She stared coldly at Roderick from where she stood, with many ill intentions running through her mind.As she contemplated how to execute her plan, she turned to her boss to gauge her thoughts."Hmph! I can't believe Roderick is really acting as Miss Bolton's spokesperson. Does he even know what to say in this interview? Does he think people want to listen to him?"Felicia, whose face was still full of surprise, slowly shifted her gaze away from the large crowd, gave her secretary a brief glance, and replied, "We can't tell from this distance. Let's get closer to find out."The young CEO said this and immediately headed toward the crowd, leaving Bella completely confused. She expected her boss to be intensely angry and irritated at the sight of Roderick and to ask them to retur

Arnold's brows raised in extreme shock. 'Could that mean I might die at any moment from now?' he questioned himself in great panic. His face instantly turned bitter the more he thought about it. Roderick's remark was still like a hard pill stuck in his throat, but he had to swallow it down. Since Arnold's doctor had informed him that he had only weeks to live, he had been worried and afraid. But right now, he was scared to death as Roderick said his life was hanging by a thread. Even though he wasn't sure about the remark, the fact that he mentioned it made him seriously afraid. Arnold nearly burst into tears immediately, as he never wished to die prematurely. Still puzzled by how Roderick found out this information, Arnold's colleagues continued hurling insults at Roderick. Meanwhile, Arnold was frozen in place and shivering in utmost fear. The elderly man was nearly peeing himself. Just then, Benjamin dismissed Roderick's remark, saying, "Since you know it's common for people

The elderly men's gazes turned to the floor as their faces flushed with embarrassment.Reflecting on Roderick's statement, they felt it was true. If he were worthless, it shouldn't be difficult for them to have him cleared out of their way.Moreover, they had always been troubled by his existence; Roderick never cared about them.This shows that he is a big deal to them, while they were nothing to him.Here is the truth before the big four, but it is up to them whether they agree to it.Suddenly, the big four all had their faces turn red with rage. Their fists clenched in fury, and they were tempted to pounce on Roderick to teach him a lesson.At that moment, Caleb quickly called his colleagues’ attention and whispered to them, “We don’t have to resort to violence with this kid in public. How about we teach him a lesson secretly? Silent swords cut deepest.”Caleb’s point seemed reasonable, making them all step back except for Benjamin.He knew his colleagues accepted Caleb’s suggestio

A black Mercedes-Benz, followed by an SUV, suddenly halted before a massive building—Horizon Complex. Some security guards jumped down from the SUV and rushed forward to the Mercedes-Benz to open the door.Seeing the black Benz in the distance, the big four, who had arrived very early at Horizon Complex that morning, instantly lit up with excitement."Huh?! Miss Bolton is finally here!" one of them shouted, catching the attention of the others. Instantly, the big four all rushed toward the car to welcome the noblewoman.At this moment, the black Benz door was opened, and a young, handsome man dressed in a well-tailored suit stepped out of the car.His demeanor was very calm, and his aura was completely domineering.The big four suddenly paused midway, as the figure before them wasn’t a lady. Scrutinizing him from head to toe, their faces twisted with immediate disdain.'What?! Roderick Holmes?!''This fool?!' Their minds buzzed with anger as soon as their eyes met Roderick's.The blac

They were already close to Horizon Complex, where the Bolton Group had rented a space for an office, when Christina cleared her throat."Ahem!"She forced a soft smile and turned to Roderick."Mr. Holmes, I will get off at the next junction. I have an urgent matter to attend to there. You don't have to wait for me; you can head to the office. Once I'm done, I will report to the office as well."Roderick nodded slowly in response. Suddenly, the car stopped, and Christina got out.As soon as the car sped away, leaving Christina behind, she let out a mocking smile. "Since Miss Bolton has so much faith in you, let's see how you handle the business. Bloody ignorant! Haha!" She laughed heartily and left in a direction.Meanwhile, Felicia was in the CEO's office at Santos Corporation. She was pacing back and forth, with many worries on her mind.There were files on her table that needed her attention, but she couldn't even take a break from her heavy thoughts to attend to them.One of Felici

The research she did on Roderick stated that he had been a live-in son-in-law for years. How can someone with such a record be in charge of Bolton Group's project?Never in his life had he ever been in business, either. How can someone with no knowledge of business manage one for a notable company like theirs?Christina couldn't understand why her boss was so inconsiderate about her reputation and that of the Bolton Group by choosing Roderick as the face of the project regardless of the odds.The secretary was still processing all these thoughts when she heard Kate add, "Mr. Holmes, don't forget that you were the one who announced to the public that Bolton Group is open for partnership. Now, interested companies are at our office's doorstep waiting for your approval."Roderick was speechless as he remembered he had actually said that last night. "Miss Bolton, I said that because I was just trying to play along. I would have disagreed with the post instantly yesterday, but I didn't wan
