Chapter 417: Chapter 416: Where Does the Confidence Co From?
Then, Walker said awkwardly, "Originally, Global International and Iron Blood Heavy Industry had no interactions, as our industries are completely different. But just recently, their company suddenly began suppressing Global International’s European branches. Moreover, both Iron Blood Heavy Industry and we have our own forces in the underworld. In the underworld, our forces were also suppressed, and we were powerless to retaliate! Their final demand is for half of Global International’s shares. If you are willing to intervene, Lord King, Global International is prepared to offer you a ten percent stake."
Walker explained the situation to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan replied, "Then why not use underworld thods? Your Global International has many allies in the underworld." And I am one of them.
But Walker looked even more troubled, prompting Ye Fan to ask, "What exactly happened?"
Walker spoke gravely. "Originally, given Global International’s status, they wouldn’t have dared to provoke us. But a powerful new force has erged behind them! We haven’t been able to identify this force yet, but as soon as they appeared, our forr allies no longer dared to support us. So even publicly announced they were severing all ties with Global International."
"This ti, I am representing the Elder Council to beg you, Lord King, please save Global International!"
Luo Ling was shocked. Even with Global International’s powerful financial backers, they couldn’t resolve this issue.
Ye Fan said, "I can help you, but forget about the shares. I have no interest in money right now."
This wasn’t an arrogant boast. His personal wealth, combined with assets like the Heavenly King Hall, already ranked among the top in the world. He had no need for more money.
At this, Walker was overjoyed. As long as the King of Heaven agreed to help, that was all that mattered. Moreover, he never expected Ye Fan to offer his help so willingly, without even wanting any shares in Global International.
Consequently, he turned to Luo Ling and declared, "In that case, Miss Luo Ling shall have a fifty-percent controlling stake in Universal Pictures."
Luo Ling nearly spat out her water.
"Brother Fan’s willingness to help is his own business, Mr. Walker," she said. "You’ve already done more than enough for . Please, let’s forget about the shares."
Although Universal Pictures was just one of Global International’s subsidiaries, and not even a major one, a fifty-percent stake was still a massive asset.
"Please, Miss Luo Ling, you must accept," Walker insisted.
Faced with such determination, Luo Ling finally relented. "Well, alright then."
Ye Fan nodded. "I’m very busy, so it would be best if we depart soon. I’m eager to see who dares to disrespect the King of Heaven."
"Lord King, if it’s convenient for you, we could leave tomorrow," Walker hastily suggested.
"What? Tomorrow?" Ye Fan snapped.
"Actually, a few days from now would be fine too," Walker stamred, thinking that tomorrow was too soon and had angered Ye Fan.
But Ye Fan simply said, "We’ll leave right after this al. Is that a problem?"
"No, no problem at all!"
Given Global International’s current crisis, the sooner, the better. Still, Walker hadn’t expected Ye Fan would choose to leave that very night. To Ye Fan, however, this was a minor issue. He would leave tonight, resolve the matter in an hour, and then fly back. His ti was precious.
Walker hurried off to make the arrangents.
Just then, Luo Ling said, "Ye Fan, I want to go with you."
"You should stay here and wait for
to get back. I’ll be ho by tomorrow morning at the latest," Ye Fan said with a chuckle. "With all that rushing around, you’ll ruin your beauty sleep and turn ugly."
But Luo Ling was insistent, and there was nothing Ye Fan could do.
Soon after, they boarded a Global International plane bound for Europe.
Upon arriving in Europe, Walker contacted Iron Blood Heavy Industry. The company had once been an asset of the chanical King, but after Ye Fan killed him, it had changed hands. They agreed to et at the Iron Blood Building.
Walker, Ye Fan, and Luo Ling arrived at the massive structure together. Iron Blood Heavy Industry was indeed enormously wealthy; the Iron Blood Building soared hundreds of ters into the sky. From the top floor, one could survey the entire city.
The chairman of Iron Blood Heavy Industry, a man nad Wood, t with Walker but showed him little respect. "President Walker, what have you decided about the share transfer?"
"Chairman Wood, we’ve made our decision," Walker replied calmly. "Global International will not be transferring any shares."
Instantly, Wood’s expression turned cold. "So, you’re refusing ?"
"Not at all," Walker said, his confidence bolstered by Ye Fan’s presence. "I’m not refusing you because I’ve already transferred the shares to the King of Heaven."
Wood’s face paled. The legendary King of Heaven had actually intervened in this matter? This complicated things imnsely.
At this point, Ye Fan spoke up. "That’s right. They’ve already transferred them to . If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with ."
Wood, who hadn’t even noticed Ye Fan until he spoke, was terrified when he finally saw him.
"King... King of Heaven!" he stamred in shock. He never expected the infamous Killing God from Divine Land, the King of Heaven himself, would personally appear. This was completely beyond his expectations.
Indeed, Wood had never imagined that Global International was connected to the King of Heaven, let alone so closely. Being able to summon the King of Heaven was no ordinary feat. He looked at Ye Fan fearfully. No matter how arrogant he acted, he was just a businessman, not a titan of the underworld. His forr master, the chanical King, had been killed by this very man.
Therefore, he held the King of Heaven in absolute awe.
"Lord King," he said, bowing his head. He had no choice. Not only did the King of Heaven have powerful backing, but with just a single word from him, Iron Blood Heavy Industry could be wiped off the map.
"Cut the flattery," Ye Fan said flatly. "I only have one question for you. Who is pulling the strings behind Iron Blood Heavy Industry’s attempt to swallow Global International?"
Put on the spot, Wood stamred, "This... this..."
"Hmm? Is there sothing you can’t say?" Ye Fan asked coldly.
"No, it’s not that!" he said quickly.
"I’ll give you one more chance," Ye Fan said. "Who is it?"
Wood replied hastily, "Lord King, I can’t answer you directly. However, she is right here in our headquarters. I can take you to et her."
"Fine. Take
there, and don’t waste my ti." Ye Fan’s patience was wearing thin.
Wood promptly led Ye Fan to the most mysterious floor of the headquarters. Even as the chairman, he needed permission to enter this level.
DING-DONG.
He pressed the button on the intercom. A cold, female voice ca from within.
"What is it?" the woman demanded.
Wood responded respectfully, "I must see the master. I have sothing important to report. Please inform her."
"Very well."
The connection was cut.
All this secrecy, Ye Fan mused. I’m curious to see who is really behind this—who took over Iron Blood Heavy Industry and has the audacity to try and swallow Global International whole.
