Hmm?
Lacey questioned, “Didn't Intercontinental Group receive over three hundred billion recently? How is it possible that
they have no money?”
Zeke explained, “Oh, the three hundred billion is now ours. It's their compensation to us.”
She was still not convinced. Glaring at Zeke, Lacey said, “Hah! As if I would believe you. I doubt Intercontinental
Group is so kind to give us the money.”
Zeke replied, “Well, I can return the lump sum to them anytime if you don't trust me.”
Lacey was unswerving. “Go ahead and give them the money back. I wonder when you can change this annoying
habit of yours and stop boasting.”
Zeke was rendered speechless as he felt an impending headache coming up.
I suppose Lacey won't believe that I've taken over the entire Mixtel family since she thinks that I lied to her about
the three hundred billion.
He tried testing the water. “Lacey, what do you think if I said the Mitxel family is part of us now? Would you believe
my words?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Of course I would!” Lacey replied at once.
“Huh? You'd believe this wholeheartedly and not the fact that Intercontinental Group has compensated us three
hundred billion?” Zeke was puzzled.
Lacey shook her head in response. “It looks like you'll never stop boasting for as long as you live.”
Zeke was so frustrated. He did not know what to do with her.
Faced with a livid Great Marshal, the consequences would probably be grave.
Shortly after, Dawn stepped forward from the crowd and posed a question to Lacey. “Are you sure you don't want
the three hundred billion as well as Mitxel Group, Lacey? Can I have them instead?”
Her words sent a shudder through Lacey. She stared at Dawn and asked, “What do you mean by that, Dawnie?”
“Nothing much. I heard you ask Zeke to return the money and even said that Mitxel Group can't be ours. Hence, I
thought you could hand me the money and gift me the company too. You know, it's better to benefit me than an
outsider.”
“Hang on a second and tell me straight to my face. Both Mitxel Group and the three hundred billion are for real?”
Lacey immediately grabbed Dawn's shoulders and clarified her doubts, word by word.
Dawn smiled and nodded. “Absolutely! Why would I lie to you?”
Hearing that, Lacey dashed to her office.
Zeke yelled, “Where are you going, Lacey?”
“Isn't it obvious? To count the money, of course!” she answered.
The crowd fell silent and let her be.
Meanwhile, in the top-floor bedroom of Sheldon's luxury mansion.
The room was completely sealed off, without a single gap for any light to shine through.
Sheldon cautiously knelt before his father, or to be more accurate, his master.
The consciousness of the Kush Clan had long since taken over Sheldon's father's body.
Sheldon had no idea about the true identity of his master. He was only aware that the latter referred to himself as
the Guardian of Mount Kush.
Right then, the Guardian of Mount Kush remained silent with his eyes closed. Nobody knew if he was resting or
meditating.
Sheldon would not dare to open his mouth and speak for as long as the Guardian was quiet.
After more than an hour, the Guardian finally moved.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sheldon, who was on his knees. “Why are you here?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheldon quickly answered, “Master, Intercontinental Group is in trouble. It's being acquired by Zeke. I beg you to
please lend a hand and help me save Intercontinental Group!”
The Guardian of Mount Kush laughed disdainfully. “Haha! Zeke is truly something to be regarded as an enemy of
the Kush Clan. Hmph! They are all mere ordinary men who think too highly of themselves by dreaming about
fighting me! It's already a miracle that you are still alive, so how dare you still covet your material wealth? What a
joke!”
Sheldon's face flushed red in that instant.
Intercontinental Group is my bread and butter. How can I not be worried about losing it? Is the Guardian implying
that he's not going to offer any help?
“Master, once Zeke's Linton Group is back on track, he will surely run an investigation about you and attack you
accordingly. What's your plan?” Sheldon prompted.
The Guardian of Mount Kush took a deep breath and reflected. “I made a careless mistake the last time and was
severely hurt by him. Now that I've recovered enough to be back in peak condition, it's time for war. There's no
need for him to look for me this time, for I'll make the first move!”
