Top Notch War God

Chapter 10

"Quick, bring the contract over!" Mateo eagerly grabbed the document, quickly scanned it. 

And he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, excellent! Indeed, God is blessing our family! A whole fifty million dollar order! This time, the Willis family will definitely make a comeback! I want to see who in Philadelphia's upper class still dares to look down on us? I want those who mocked us to shut up!"

The contract turned out to be real! After seeing it, the Willis family members exclaimed in surprise. That was a fifty million dollar order, enough to revive the Willis family and potentially push it further if managed well!

"Hmph!" Mateo suddenly snorted, attracting everyone's attention.

"Corey, take this order to the Gray family later and discuss the payment schedule," Mateo suddenly handed the contract to Corey.

"Sure, Grandpa. Leave it to me," Corey said, excitedly accepting the contract.

The members of the Willis family were stunned. Wasn't the old man betting with Talon that if Ariya could mend the relationship, he would hand over the chairman's position to her? Why did it seem like it was going to Corey now?

Ariya was also stunned. "Grandpa, didn't you say that if I could restore the relationship with the Gray family, you would give me the chairman's position? What is going on now?" She asked.

"Oh, Ariya, I did say I would relinquish the chairman's position, but I never said I would give it to you!" Lord Willis, having received the Gray family's order, immediately reneged on his word!

"Besides, you know that Corey holds a high position in the Willis family and everyone respects him," Lord Willis raised an eyebrow.

"The whole situation started because of you. You are just making up for your past mistakes and have not made any real contribution to the Willis family. So, I announce that Corey will be the next chairman of the Willis Group!" He said with a sly smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, the Willis family members stood up and applauded Corey.

"Why? Why does my credit always have to be shared with him? Every design of mine, every order, and even every plan! I am also a member of the Willis family! It's been five years! You are too biased! This is unfair to me!" Ariya yelled at her grandfather, the Willis family members, and Corey, tears streaming down her face.

She had risked being violated by Bertie to go to the Primey family for the Willis family, yet her grandfather still gave the Willis Group to Corey! At that moment, she completely lost hope in the Willis family!

Mateo was furious upon hearing this.

"Why? How dare you even ask that question? It's because you refused to marry the heir of the Wright family five years ago and ended up having that illegitimate child with Talon.

"It's your fault that the Wright family has been suppressing us for five years! All your so-called contributions during these years were just to make up for your mistake from five years ago! Now, do you understand why I'm giving the chairman's position to Corey?"

"You! All of you suck!" Ariya's tears kept streaming down her face. As she glanced at the Willis family, their faces remained emotionless, especially Corey's, who was sneering at her from the sidelines.

"Why do you accuse me of stealing your credit? The Gray family most likely signed the contract because of their own reasons, not because of you! Don't delude yourself! Apart from your looks, do you honestly believe your business acumen is better than mine? You're truly a foolish woman!" Corey said sarcastically.

"From today onwards, I'm done with the Willis family," Ariya declared firmly, clenching her fists as she looked at the indifferent faces of the Willis family members.

"Are you threatening me? Do you think the Willis family can't operate without you? Fine, I'll grant your wish! Take your husband and that illegitimate child and get out of the Willis family!"

Lord Willis pointed to the door and shouted to the guards, "Throw this b***h out! From now on, she doesn't belong to the Willis family!"

"Yes!" Two guards rushed into the meeting room, grabbed Ariya, and forcibly dragged her out of the Willis family villa.

After dealing with Ariya, Lord Willis took a deep breath and instructed Corey, "Now that the contract is signed, it's almost time for dinner. Take Bertie to the best restaurant in Philadelphia—the Stardom Hotel—and discuss the advance payment."

"Okay, Grandpa. I'll handle it right away!" Corey's excitement grew at the thought of Ariya receiving the order and enraging her grandfather, leading to her expulsion from the Willis family. Without hesitation, he rushed to the Primey Group.

Just as he was about to get out of the car, a guard approached and tapped on the window. "Today, our chairman specifically instructed that no one but Mrs. Storm is allowed to enter for business. Please leave immediately!"

"Ariya has been expelled from the Willis family by my grandfather. From now on, I will handle all business with the Primey Group," Corey said flatly.

The guard, Keegan Reid, called over several others via the intercom, all of whom drew batons. "I made it clear that only Mrs. Storm is allowed to park here. Anyone else must leave immediately!"

"s**t! Who the hell do you think you are? If you've got the balls! Come at me! Right here!" Corey, cigarette dangling from his lips, smugly swung open the car door and gestured to his head.

"You're asking for it!" Keegan, seeing Corey provoke him, immediately raised his baton and struck Corey on the head.

"Ah!!!" Corey was stunned by the blow, blood streaming down. Before he could react, seven or eight guards charged at him like mad dogs!

"You... you all... Fine, you'll pay for this!" Beaten black and blue, Corey quickly got into his car and fled Primey Group.

***

Meanwhile, in the Willis villa, the high-ranking members were still in the meeting room, awaiting good news from Corey.

"Corey has always been smart and capable of being the chairman. This time, he went to invite Bertie to dinner; we might get the first payment from the Gray family soon!"

"I think so too. After all, Bertie needs something from our Willis family. Once Ariya marries him, there shouldn't be any problem."

"This money comes just in time. With it, our Willis family can get through this difficult period. It's exciting to think about!"

"Grandpa, something bad happened!" They were in the midst of a lively discussion when Corey ran in.

"Weren't you supposed to go to Primey Group? What happened to you?" Lord Willis barely recognized Corey, who was covered in blood and had a face swollen like a pig's head.

"Grandpa, the Gray family wouldn't let me in, and their guards beat me up!" Corey's face was red with fury. He exclaimed, "Grandpa, you have to avenge me!"

"Damn it! A mere guard dares to stop you! Let's go to Primey Group and see what's going on!"Lord Willis, trembling with anger, stood up.

Lord Willis led the way! Soon, the senior members of the Willis family arrived at Primey Group.

Lord Willis, supported by Corey, got out of the car. Seeing this, Keegan spoke a few words into his intercom, and within moments, dozens of Primey Group guards blocked the entrance.

Keegan, holding a baton, sneered, "You dare come back?"

Lord Willis, holding back his anger, said, "You're disrespecting the Willis family. When Mr. Gray sees this, do you think he'll keep you employed?"

"And who the hell are you?" Keegan glanced sideways at Lord Willis. "If it weren't for Mrs. Storm, you wouldn't even have the right to park here! If you don't leave, I'll beat you too!"

Just then, a stern voice came from behind the crowd. "What's going on here?"Jacked asked coldly.

He was accompanied by Ralphy and Bertie. They saw the commotion at the entrance.

"Mr. Gray, good day!" Keegan immediately reported, "These are people from the Willis family. They wanted to see you. I told them you would only see Mrs. Storm, but they caused a disturbance. So I beat them up!"

Lord Willis ignored Keegan and stepped forward. " Lord Gray, I am Mateo. You gave us a fifty million order, and I asked Corey to invite you to dinner. But your guard..."

"Did I give you a fifty-million-dollar order? Mateo, are you blind? Read the contract again. The supplemental clause states that the Gray family will only cooperate with Ariya! If Ariya represents your Willis family, she can come directly to me. As for you, you don't have that privilege!" Jack said impatiently.

He added. "My guards were being lenient. If you cause trouble at the Skysoar Group again, I'll have you all arrested!" 

"This... this..." Mateo was stunned. 'What does it mean that only Ariya can directly negotiate with him? I am Ariya's grandfather. Why don't I have the qualifications? And isn't this Primey Group? What does Skysoar Group have to do with it?'

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

Ralphy abruptly stated, "There is no confusion. The Skysoar Group has taken over the Primey Group, but we will uphold their previous commitments. This includes the agreement with Mrs. Storm from the Willis family. Our initial plan was to place a fifty million order, with the possibility of future orders totaling no less than five hundred million dollars."

"What? Five hundred million?!"

The Willis family members' jaws dropped in shock.
