"Joel is right! Yuri, you have no right to interfere in our business, regardless of what it is we do! You have not only trespassed on our territory but even harmed my son. Are you trying to start a war between the Thompsons and us Hiltons?" Sebastian snapped with a steely look. He knew full well that it was wrong of Joel to even sabotage Elegante Group in the first place, but the Thompsons had no right to serve them justice like that. They were just another major family in the Southern region, not the nation's peace holder, after all! As wrong as Joel was to do this, there was no right of Yuri to punish him like that! "What do you mean, this has nothing to do with the Thompsons? I'm not afraid to let you know that the Thompsons are one of Elegante Group's shareholders, and so we have as much right as anyone to protect Elegante Group!" Yuri sneered. "What?" both Sebastian and Joel were stunned to hear this. They all initially thought that Yuri was acting out of line, and no matt

"Um," Sebastian's face was ashen when faced with Yuri's determined attitude. Yuri threaded carefully and never once committed anything that was out of line, so there was nothing he could say or do to retaliate! Besides, after their brief encounter, he could tell that Yuri came prepared—he brought one of the Thompsons' Almighty Warriors with him, and even if he were to use violence, there was no way the Hiltons would be able to get away unscathed! In conclusion, Yuri was in perfect reason to make this request, whereas he and Joel were at a significant disadvantage and had no choice but to relent! "Alright, alright, we'll do as you say! Joel will draft an apology to Elegante Group and announce it in three days, and on top of that, we shall compensate every penny of Elegante Group's loss!" Sebastian finally came to a decision. Although Joel's public apology would no doubt tarnish their reputation, it was still better than the other option. Yuri was far too powerful compared to J

"Father, I have an idea! As omnipotent as Leon seems to be, he's all by himself and does not have much influence here in the Southern region. In my opinion, we should send out a few of our men to kidnap him and keep him hostage until he tells us the secret recipe! What do you think of this idea?" this was what Joel came up with after some contemplation. The last time he sent Seth to buy out Elegante Group, he could already tell that Elegante Group's defenses were poor, to the point where it did not take them long to overcome the security and barge into its premises! This was undoubtedly Elegante Group—and Leon's—biggest weakness! The Hiltons, on the other hand, had a strong foundation and plenty of master martial artists at their disposal. They could easily send a few men to capture Leon and get their hands on the secret recipe that way! "No! Leon has the Thompsons on his side, and if we were to capture him like that, they could easily figure out that it was us, even if we lea

"Secret recipe? What are you talking about?" Gordon and Seth were both surprised to hear this. "Joel, are you saying that Hiltons Corporation has successfully managed to create replicas of Elegante Group's products?" Seth asked. He was well aware of Joel's plans to steal Elegante Group's secret recipe, and judging by Joel's comment, he was inclined to think that Joel successfully pulled it off! Gordon was thinking along the same lines. "Um, not really! That Leon Wolf had his wits about it, and I'm now missing only the most crucial ingredient," Joel replied rather sheepishly. He bragged about his plan to Seth and Gordon multiple times, confident that he would be able to pull it off successfully, so now, he could not help feeling a little embarrassed that he failed. "Oh," Seth and Gordon could not help but be disappointed by this. however, considering that this was not the first time Joel lost to Leon, they could not say that they were surprised. "Well, none of this matter

"Um," Gordon fell silent upon hearing. As tempted as he was by the prospects of this, one thing to consider was that Cynthion Group was related to the Thompsons, and his brother-in-law, Darius, was close to Yuri! If Gordon were to betray Darius and join forces with Joel against the Cynthion Group, Darius would not be pleased about this and would surely punish him if he found out! Besides, Snow was his ex-girlfriend, and his conscience could not allow him to harm her! However, now that Joel decided to target Iris and Snow, he knew that Snow would suffer an even worse fate if she were to fall into Joel and Seth's hands! Because of this, he had a lot to think about and did not know what was the right choice! "Vice President Bailey, I know why you're hesitating. Don't worry, Cynthion Group belongs to Leon, not Yuri, and even if Darius were to find out about all this, he could not possibly do much harm to you over an outsider like Leon!" Joel could tell that Gordon was hesitating
