Top Notch War God

Chapter 24

The two turned pale with fear.

A meal could cost five hundred thousand, even a million dollars? Such a person's connections were not to be trifled with.

The man awkwardly approached Maisy, bowing his head. "Missy, it was our fault earlier. Please forgive us, okay?"

The woman, no longer haughty, pleaded softly. "Please, forgive us..."

Maisy shook her head and said, "Daddy said we should pay for dirtying your dress. You really didn't need to be so angry. Right, Daddy?"

Talon smiled. And the woman hurriedly said, "No need, it's just a small stain. We can wash it at home. Missy, do you really forgive us?"

"Yes, I forgive you," Maisy said innocently.

The man and woman thanked them repeatedly and then hurriedly left.

Time passed, and by evening, Ariya returned from work looking disheartened. She sat on the sofa, frowning deeply.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Talon asked, pouring her a glass of water as he sat down.

Ariya hesitated for a moment before speaking nonchalantly, "The Willis family is done for. My mom called and said Grandpa is preparing to sell the last three clothing factories! I have a small share in those factories, so I have to go back and sign the papers tomorrow."

"Write me a letter of authorization, and I'll go for you," Talon said with a smile.

"Seeing the Willis family in this state makes me sad. I heard Grandpa plans to pool some money and invest heavily in the government's real estate project in the south of the city, making one last effort for the Willis Group. But the project might cost fifty billion. What profit can our few million bring?"

Then Ariya sighed. "Abandoning our core business of clothing to venture into unfamiliar real estate... the Willis family might really go bankrupt!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. As you said, I'll write an authorization letter, and you can sign for me tomorrow." Ariya, clearly disheartened, picked up a pen and wrote an authorization letter.

The next morning, the Willis family meeting room was full of people.

Today was the day the Willis family was to sign the transfer contract of the clothing factories with the Adams family. Everyone from the Willis family was present.

"Grandpa, the Adams family is a major Philadelphia clan, comparable to the Gray family supported by Skysoar Group. Not only do they want to buy our clothing factories, but they also intend to establish a long-term partnership with us. They've practically secured the government's real estate project in the south of the city! I spent a lot of time and effort to connect with them!"

Jensen, looking proud, indeed showed some capability by finding a new major family to collaborate with during this crucial time when Skysoar Group had abandoned the Willis family.

"It's still Jensen who managed this! Although Skysoar Group abandoned us, he quickly established cooperation with the Adams family!"

"Yes, Skysoar Group said they would only negotiate with Ariya. Does it mean that without Ariya, our Willis family is finished? Nonsense!"

"Speaking of Ariya, it's infuriating. Rumor has it that Ariya joined the Yuvi Group and even became an associate director! Isn't it ridiculous? Our family is in the clothing business, and she went to work for another group!"

"Shut up! Ariya has already left the family! She's not part of the Willis family anymore!"

At that moment, a man entered the meeting room accompanied by Lord Willis, and everyone stood up respectfully.

"Let me introduce you all!" Lord Willis raised his voice with a beaming face.

"This is the next head of the Adams family, responsible for the investment in the south city project and our acquisition. Despite his young age, he's talented and capable, and he has completed several major projects. Our family is saved this time!"

"Don't be formal. As an established family, the Willis family should have soared long ago," the future Adams family head said with a smile.

"Well then, let's sign the contract." Mr. Adams smiled and sat in the main seat of the meeting room.

The contract was already drafted, and everyone with shares in the clothing factories had signed it, except for Ariya.

"Where's Ariya? Why isn't she here?" Lord Willis asked, looking around with a sullen face.

"Ariya might have gone to work?" Norah replied cautiously.

"Work? Ha, everyone from the Willis family is here, what work does she have? Call her immediately!" Lord Willis said angrily, hitting the floor with his cane.

"No need, Ariya has authorized me to sign. Here is the authorization letter." Just as Norah was about to make the call, a familiar figure walked in and placed the authorization letter on the table.

It was none other than Talon.

"What are you doing here, you useless fool? Where's Ariya?" Lord Willis was stunned for a moment and then questioned sternly.

"Ariya is busy today. I have her authorization letter; I'm here to sign. But I want to ask, are you really going to sell the three clothing factories to the Adams family? If Skysoar Group wants to buy them, will you still sell to the Adams family? Their offer is fifteen million without any kickbacks."

"Well..." Lord Willis was stunned.

If Skysoar Group wanted to acquire, he would definitely sell to them. Not only was their offer five million higher, but even at the same price, they would prioritize Skysoar Group.

Mr. Adams, who had been nonchalant, raised his head upon hearing Skysoar Group, stunned to see Talon.

He then slammed the pen heavily on the table and said angrily, "I didn't expect it to be you!"

Talon looked up, finally recognizing Mr. Adams as Tony.

"Oh, so you're the Mr. Adams of the Adams family? Didn't you say you'd deal with me when you left yesterday? Now's your chance." Talon crossed his arms and sneered coldly.

"Brat, don't get cocky with me!" Tony said, pointing at Talon with a menacing tone

"So, you're from the Willis family? If I don't sign this contract, no one will take your three factories! You said Skysoar Group wants to buy them? Let me tell you, their main business isn't clothing! Do you think their money falls from the sky and they can buy anything on a whim? It's laughable to lie in front of me."

Lord Willis shivered upon hearing this.

Yes, Skysoar Group's main business wasn't clothing but foreign trade.

Besides, could Talon's word be trusted to determine Skysoar Group's acquisition? Fat chance.

"Mr. Adams, don't be angry. We will definitely cooperate with you!"

Lord Willis, thinking it was unlikely, pleaded humbly. "You can buy the three factories for ten million as agreed. Don't mind what this fool says."

"Sign? Sign my ass!" Tony grabbed the contract and tore it to pieces.

The he pointed at Talon and said, "Are you from the Willis family? I initially intended to support the Willis family, letting them pick up some scraps. But since the Willis family is related to you, not only will I cancel our cooperation, but I'll also suppress the Willis family everywhere! Remember this, I may not be as good as you in street fights, but in business, you're far behind!"

Tony's outburst was intimidating, leaving the Willis family members speechless.

"Mr. Adams, is there some misunderstanding?" Lord Willis asked, trembling.

"He's not part of the Willis family, just a useless son-in-law who got kicked out with Ariya. How can he decide anything for the Willis family?"

Seeing Tony still furious, Lord Willis turned back and angrily said, "Norah! Get him to sign and then kick him out of the Willis family, the further, the better! Five years ago, because of him, the Willis family started declining, and ten days ago, if it weren't for him, Skysoar Group would have signed with us! We've suffered enough because of him; how does he still have the face to stay here!"

In an instant, all the Willis family members in the meeting room stood up, ready to beat Talon.
