Jas's cousin and Irving quickly got ready for the battle. In fact, Irving didn't make any preparations at all because he believed his strength was far superior to that of his opponent. He thought he could easily defeat him with a full-on attack.
On the other hand, Jas's cousin took the preparations very seriously. He not only brought out all his weapons and tools, but he also ntally simulated various battle scenarios in his mind.
Once they were both prepared, they began the fight in front of the core family mbers of the White family. All the core mbers of the White family recognized the agreent between Jas's cousin and Irving. Except for the middle-aged woman, all the mbers of the White family understood that, in the current situation, strength was of utmost importance.
Jas's cousin and Irving moved to an open area where they could truly showcase their abilities. After getting ready, Jas's cousin directly addressed Irving, saying, "I'm ready! You can attack at any ti!"
"Is that so?" Irving feigned nonchalance as he asked, "Are you really ready?"
"Yes! I believe I'm ready!" Jas's cousin didn't understand why Irving kept confirming whether he was prepared. In his view, he had made very thorough preparations and thought there was no way Irving could defeat him in one blow.
Irving nodded. "In that case, let see just how strong your true abilities are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Irving took out the Staff of Calamity. The mont the staff was revealed, an energy storm began to swirl around the battleground. All the energy converged at the top of the staff, while Irving simultaneously summoned the power of the Taikoo Fla Pearl.
A silver-white glow emanated from around Irving's body. Amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers, the silver-white light gathered together and eventually rged with the imnse power of the staff, forming a terrifying spell.
Blinding beams of light shot toward Jas's cousin.
Although Jas's cousin had prepared thoroughly, he still perford poorly when faced with such a powerful attack. In the end, Irving didn't unleash all of his strength; he only used a portion of it to completely defeat Jas's cousin.
Under the astonished gazes of the core mbers of the White family, Jas's cousin was easily vanquished. Before anyone could process what had just happened, the battle was over.
"What just happened? Is the fight really over? When did Irving even launch his attack? I didn't even see how he did it," one mber of the White family asked in shock, turning to the person next to him.
The person beside him had no response, as he too had not caught the details of the battle. In fact, even Jas himself had not clearly seen what had transpired during the fight.
At that mont, Jas's cousin was in a state of extre shock. He was not surprised that Irving could defeat him; in fact, he had felt a trendous threat the mont Irving mobilized his power. What truly astonished him was that he hadn't been able to withstand Irving's attack at all.
Jas's cousin was wearing high-level armor, yet these top-tier items had provided no real protection.
"What's wrong? Are you still not willing to admit defeat? Or do you want to pull a fast one?" Irving asked slowly, looking down at Jas's cousin who was lying on the ground.
It was only then that Jas's cousin ca to his senses. He got up from the ground and shook his head.
"Of course I won't cheat! I won't contest the position of president of the Green Ivy Company anymore. I believe Jas is indeed the only one qualified to be the president of the Green Ivy Company."
Jas's cousin's withdrawal relieved Jas significantly. After the recent confrontation, the vast majority of the White family mbers recognized that there was a substantial gap between their strength and Irving's. Therefore, they naturally had no desire to oppose Irving. With Irving's support for Jas, they could only accept that Jas would continue as the president of the Green Ivy Company.
An elderly voice spoke up again. "It seems that the situation is quite clear. If no one has any other opinions, I will officially announce that Jas will continue to serve as the president of the Green Ivy Company!"
Just as the elderly voice finished speaking, the middle-aged woman stepped forward once more. "I haven't agreed yet! How can you all disregard my opinion?! I am the one most qualified to be the president of the Green Ivy Company!"
Although the middle-aged woman shouted loudly about her grievances, no one paid her any attention. The mbers of the White family had already acknowledged Jas's position.
"We will announce this decision shortly. Tomorrow, you can return to the headquarters of the Green Ivy Company. You will continue to be the president of the Green Ivy Company and also remain the heir of the White family," said an elderly man with graying hair as he approached Jas, speaking with a slight tremor.
Jas quickly responded, "I will do my utmost to fulfill my duties. The Green Ivy Company will not face the disasters it once did. I will ensure that both the Green Ivy Company and the White family grow stronger."
After the elderly man nodded, he turned and left. The other mbers of the White family didn't linger either, as they all had their own matters to attend to.
Only after everyone else had departed did the middle-aged woman step forward to confront Jas. She looked at him with eyes filled with jealousy and hostility.
"Don't think that this victory ans you will win every ti! I will find a way to reclaim the position of president of the Green Ivy Company!" she declared before hastily walking away.
Jas did not care about her provocation. To him, she posed no threat. His true concern was his cousin, who was the one capable of being a real threat to him.
"Why do you still look so worried? Isn't the situation much better than before? You haven't faced any difficulties, and you've regained your position as the president of the Green Ivy Company," Irving gently asked as he observed Jas's furrowed brow.
"What do you think of my cousin's strength?" Jas didn't answer Irving's question; instead, he posed one of his own that weighed heavily on his mind.
"Your cousin's strength is indeed not very impressive, but I believe he has great potential. It won't be long before his abilities improve significantly. So, you need to work on enhancing your own strength as well," Irving replied, understanding Jas's concerns.
Even though Jas's cousin had not posed a significant threat this ti, he was still very talented. Sooner or later, he could beco a serious threat to Jas.
Jas sighed and nodded. "I understand. I will do my best to improve my strength! However, in the near future, I will focus on handling matters related to the Green Ivy Company."
After saying this, Jas smiled at Irving. "Thank you very much for your help. I will be sure to repay you! In our upcoming actions, I will ensure that the Green Ivy Company fully cooperates with you!"
Jas's words made Irving very pleased.
Irving nodded. "That's good! If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get busy! I also need to handle so other matters quickly."
With that, Irving and Jas soon parted ways. Jas returned to the headquarters of the Green Ivy Company. During his absence, there had been so chaos within the company. Now that he was back as president, Jas needed to resolve the internal turmoil as quickly as possible. Experience more on empire
anwhile, Irving returned to his ho in the city of Warding. Wendy had been waiting for him at ho. Over the past few days, all the news Wendy had received had been bad. Even though she believed in Irving's strength, she couldn't help but worry about him.
When Irving finally appeared at the door, Wendy let out a slight sigh of relief. "Why are you only back now? Didn't you tell that you could handle everything quickly? Didn't you say you could resolve all the crises in no ti? Do you know how much I've been worrying about you? Do you have any idea that all the news I've heard has been bad?"
Wendy fired off a barrage of questions at Irving. In fact, she didn't need him to answer them; she simply wanted him to know how much she had been concerned about him.
Irving didn't say much in response; he just patted Wendy on the head. "I'm back now, aren't I? I did run into so trouble while dealing with the crises, but I ultimately managed to resolve those issues. As a professional assassin, you should understand that unexpected situations can arise during a mission. It takes ti to handle those unexpected events."
Irving explained slowly. Wendy was certainly able to accept his explanation.
"Alright then, since you're back, make sure to rest well. I've prepared delicious als for you."
Wendy had no idea when Irving would return, so every evening she would prepare a lavish spread of dishes. When Irving saw the table full of food, he couldn't help but feel grateful.
Although many people cared for Irving, no one could do so like Wendy. Vicky, while very concerned about Irving, was the president of the Ocean Group and simply didn't have that much free ti. As for Sophia, it was needless to say; she was now under the control of the Blood Moon and had beco Irving's greatest enemy rather than his ally.
"It seems that my decision to keep you from focusing too much on the shelter ga was a very wise one!" Irving said with a smile to Wendy.
Wendy looked slightly puzzled; she didn't understand why Irving would say that. She gazed at him with a curious expression.
"Focusing too much on the shelter ga can distort a person's mind," Irving explained.
