The person on the other end of the phone spoke again with fear and anxiousness. Damon rebuked with a gloomy expression, “There must be a mistake! The Parkers’ business empire is so large. How could the bank suddenly freeze our funds? Go find out the reason. I want to know the results within ten minutes!”
Damon directly hung up, and countless eavesdropping people immediately turned around, pretending to be confused and dumbfounded.
But deep down, they were terrified.
The Parkers were one of the largest families in LA, and they had billions in assets. Why did the bank suddenly freeze their funds?
They all thought that there had to be something strange about the matter. Not only was Damon furious and puzzled, but they were extremely curious too.
Right after Damon hung up, he received another call before he could even put his phone back inside his pocket.
He picked it up with exasperation written all over his face. But soon, his face turned several times more sullen.
“What did you say? Buzzlight Corp., Joy Co., and the Trident Group are going to terminate their contracts with us?! All at the same time? What is the reason? Did they state the reason clearly? What a bunch of good-for-nothings. Although they’re refusing to speak, can’t you go check it out yourself? Go find out immediately!”
After ending the call, Damon looked even more enraged and hostile as he slammed his phone against the table.
Petrified, no one dared to say a single word, but they couldn’t hide the shock on their faces at all.
Although those companies were not owned by any top families, they were definitely powerful. Besides, they seemed to have cooperated with the Parkers for numerous years.
But they actually asked to terminate their cooperation with the Parkers at the same time. There had to be something fishy about it!
Sitting in the corner, Lucas seemed to realize something after hearing the names of the companies.
More than half a month ago, when Flynn had just integrated the numerous companies and assets left behind by the Brookes, he had asked Lucas for funds to acquire some of the local businesses and enterprises in LA.
On the surface, Flynn was only the general manager of the Solar Corporation. But in fact, he had bought several companies in private, though they weren’t under the name of the Solar Corporation. So the relationship between these companies and Lucas and Flynn couldn’t be investigated easily.
Buzzlight Corporation, Joy Co., and the Trident Group were a few of the companies they had acquired.
Even Lucas had to admit that these secret arrangements would definitely lead to unexpected results if used well.
He also had to admit that Flynn was indeed a good manager and skilled at strategizing and planning. He was indeed capable of taking on a tremendous responsibility.
Lucas smiled in satisfaction.
On the other side, Damon’s wrinkled face was incredibly dark.
He pondered for a moment before raising his head to stare at Flynn. “Were you the one who did it?”
Flynn had just threatened him and warned him not to lay a finger on Lucas, or he would immediately destroy the Parkers. He then sent his bodyguards to deal with Lucas, but right afterward, he received two pieces of bad news.
Damon wasn’t a fool. He could guess right away that this must have something to do with Flynn!
Flynn didn’t hide anything and simply nodded to admit to it. “Yes. I just said that if you must stand against Mr. Gray and make him your enemy, I won’t mind getting the Parkers removed from LA.”
With flames in his eyes, Damon roared furiously, “Okay, you really have the guts to make us your enemy! But do you think you can destroy the Parkers with something of this level? You’re really naive!”
Flynn chuckled. “Of this level? Of course not. What just happened are merely appetizers! Since you think they’re too trivial, let’s add a few more main dishes!”
Then he immediately picked up his phone and called someone. “Take it up a notch!”
Damon’s eyelids immediately twitched a few times.
Does Flynn Davis really have more powerful plans?
No, I don’t believe it!
“Hmph, you’re just boasting. Let’s see what tricks you can come up with!” Damon said sternly.
But he had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He waved his hand, and his personal secretary behind him immediately walked forward and bent down.
Damon whispered a few instructions in his ear. The middle-aged secretary nodded solemnly before turning around to leave the ballroom.
Flynn didn’t stop him and merely looked at everything coldly. He then turned around and said to Lucas with a smile, “Mr. Gray, just stay here and watch the show with peace of mind! As long as I’m around, no one can do anything to you.”
Lucas glanced at Damon’s gloomy expression and smiled. “Thank you very much then!”
Cheyenne was sitting beside Lucas, and when she saw how calm both Lucas and Flynn were, she gradually felt relieved.
Now, it seemed that the Parkers really couldn’t do anything to Lucas.
Seeing the two of them completely disregarding him and chatting merrily, Damon became even more enraged.
A glint of hostility flashed in his eyes, and he looked at his bodyguards to hint them to take Lucas away immediately.
Even if Flynn had any powerful tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to the Parkers as long as Lucas’s life was in his hands.
Unfortunately, things didn’t develop in the direction Damon hoped, and his plan didn’t work out.
Flynn’s bodyguards were no less skilled than the ones he brought. So even if both parties got into a brawl, neither side would stand to gain any advantage.
At this moment, Damon’s phone rang again.
The phone rang incessantly, and Damon hesitated for a while before answering.
Although he had already mentally prepared himself, the news he heard made his face turn pale again.
This time, he didn’t say anything, so there was no way for others to tell what the caller actually said. But everyone could guess from Damon’s expression that it definitely wasn’t good news.
In fact, it was probably even more serious than the freezing of the Parkers’ assets and the sudde ncontract terminations initiated by several major companies.
What exactly happened? Many of them were desperate to find out.
Flynn smiled faintly and gibed, “Mr. Parker, I wonder if you’re satisfied with the sumptuous course you’ve just been served? If it’s not enough for you, I have several more prepared. Let’s see how long you can last.”
Damon’s face was exceptionally dismal. In the past decade or so, no one had ever been able to force the Parkers to such an extent!
“Flynn Davis, don’t think I’m afraid of you! I know you want to protect this punk Lucas Gray. But let me tell you. This punk has offended not just me but also the Bensons from San Francisco!”
Damon threatened, “He not only bullied my grandson last night but also bullied the precious son of the helmsman of the Bensons! This punk is dead meat today!”
Flynn said coldly with a straight face, “So what if it’s the Bensons? I told you long ago that no one can touch Mr. Gray, not even Matthew Benson!”
“Hah, how haughty! I’ll see who dares to be so arrogant in front of me, Matthew Benson!” At this moment, a voice full of anger sounded from the entrance of the ballroom.
