“What is it, Xiang?”
“I would like an update on your progress . ”
Eric chucked proudly at the mention of his work and said, “Things are going well so far . There are many forces in Z Country who are interested in working with us . They are hesitant for now, but I believe that they will soon agree to our proposal . When that happens…”
He laughed gleefully at the possibilities .
Every country has their own share of shady organizations that come and go but could never be completely eliminated .
Like mosquitoes, one could never fully wipe them out .
Eric chose the same path as Bruce . He planned to collaborate with the locals to get a foothold in Z Country before expanding his own organization .
However…
“Mr Eric, do remember what happened to Mr Bruce,” Xiang Jinxi reminded the man .
“Of course,” Eric replied darkly . “I’m not the type to make such a stupid mistake . ”
Bruce had underestimated his adversaries .
Born in a wealthy family and pampered since he was born, Bruce had always been arrogant and believed that no one would be able to outsmart him .
Hence, when Lu Bai presented himself to him on a silver platter, the man accepted him without suspecting anything was amiss .
Perhaps he had never heard of the saying…
Not all that glitters is gold .
Therefore, Eric investigated the background of every potential ally himself before making a proposal to them .
Xiang Jinxi was relieved . “I will wait for your good news then . ”
“As will I . ”
After the phone call, Xiang Jinxi’s mood lightened up .
He would take his time fighting Huo Yunting . His defeat last time had taught him to be patient .
He had waited for over a year . A few more days was manageable .
As long as Eric’s plan worked, allowing them to move against Huo Yunting both openly and in the shadows, victory would be certain .
Even though he could not do any meaningful damage to Huo Yunting in the meantime, he would not miss the opportunity to make the man uneasy .
Xiang Jinxi gave the order to continue being aggressive toward Thunderbolt Corp .
Huo Yunting did not seem concerned with Jin Financial’s full-on attack on his company at all .
In fact, he seemed almost eager to see the battle unfold .
People in the business were baffled by his response, but Xiang Jinxi was more wary than confused .
Until finally, one day, Huo Yunting made his move .
“Huo Chen,” Huo Yunting said through the phone in his typical lazy voice . “Do you feel like becoming an actor for awhile?”
Huo Chen was quiet for a long time before he pressed the space between his eyebrows and said, “Get to the point . ”
Huo Yunting chuckled softly . A wicked smile appeared on his face .
“It looks like a fine day today, why don’t we become actors today and make a short clip together?”
Half an hour later, Huo Chen opened the door to a private room and saw Huo Yunting dining gracefully inside .
He smiled coldly and stood by the door, unwilling to step inside . Then, he said derisively, “You invited me here, and yet you started without me?”
Huo Yunting continued to chew slowly on his meal .
“I’m the host, I do what I want . ”
Huo Chen barked a cold laugh and made to leave .
That made Huo Yunting look up at him . He coughed and said, “Wait . I have something to discuss with you . ”
