Chapter 113
It would be a great opportunity to change one’s life and should not be missed because such a chance would never happen again.
At River Helm, after Anthony received the news, the excitement kept him up all night. He might be the richest man in the city, but he could not dominate every aspect with his wealth.
Other than him, there were three major families in Sumeria.
Any one of the three families might pale in comparison to the Hendersons, but when they teamed up, their combined business chains and manpower were large as they spread across the military, politics and the business worlds. They would be powerful enough to rival the Hendersons.
Now with the new military governor and the Wolf King’s arrival, Anthony spotted a chance to change the situation, or a chance to boost his name to new heights.
As long as he could win the favor of and leave an impression on the Wolf King, the Hendersons could emerge a victor from this competition for control over the city. Then, they would take the lead and become the strongest force in Sumeria.
He was eager to meet the Wolf King.
After a sleepless night, he had the idea of telling his granddaughter, Suletta, to win the heart of the Wolf King. After all, it was easier for a woman to do the job.
Suletta was considered one of the most beautiful women in Sumeria, and she was also the most influential and wealthy woman.
Thus, Anthony was confident in his granddaughter.
“Suletta, this is important. Make no mistakes.”
Suletta knew the importance of this meeting as well. If she was able to steal the Wolf King’s heart, the Hendersons might not only be Sumeria’s richest, but they might even be the richest in the whole of the Southern County.
She nodded solemnly and said in confidence, “Grandfather, I will prepare myself for this.”
She sounded like she had already won the heart of the Wolf King.
Meanwhile, Solomon also received the news.
However, he knew what he was capable of, and he did not have a huge ambition like Anthony, so he simply wanted to use this opportunity to destroy the Crestfalls.
Luna was in charge of the Valiant Institute project, a place where veterans could retire in peace and be taken care of. Should anything happen to the project, the Wolf King’s
wrath might be invoked.
Until then, not only New Moon Corporation, but even a thousand Crestfalls would not be enough to handle the wrath of the Wolf King.
The Crestfalls would be over!
Solomon could use this opportunity to achieve his goal.
Therefore, he invited the director of the General Administration of Quality
Supervision, Densel Powell, to the hotel.
“Director Powell, I would like to ask a favor…”
Solomon secretly passed Densel a card and then signed ‘three‘ and three ‘zeroes‘ with
his hands.
Thirty million!
Densel’s brows fluttered. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Stormbrew, what is it? As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely do what I can.”
“It’s simple!” Solomon said in a small voice, “Luna Crestfall of New Moon Corporation purchased a new batch of machinery for their project. I believe that in order to have the machines working, they will need your authorization for quality and safety inspection.
“If you can stall for two weeks to a month and not give them the stamp of approval, they won’t be able to complete the project in time. That’s it.”
Baldy Lewis had been arrested.
Solomon only knew that the Crestfalls got their machines but did not know they were from the military factory, hence his secret meeting with Densel.
Densel patted his bloated stomach and said, “Mr. Stormbrew, easy–peasy! I can even delay it by two to three months, not just two weeks.”
He kept the card in his pocket and assured Solomon, “I guarantee you that New Moon Corporation will never complete the Valiant Institute project in time. Don’t worry!”
