I am the King

Chapter 97

"Greetings, Mr. Chesterton," the chairmen of the Big Four Corporations respectfully exclaimed upon seeing Vincent.

Vincent sat at the head of the table and gestured, "Please, sit."

Nervously, the chairmen of the Big Four Corporations took their seats.

Vincent scanned them and got right to the point, "What brings you all here today?"

The other three said nothing and looked at Raglan.

As the head of the Big Four Corporations, Sebastian, stood up first and respectfully said, "Mr. Chesterton, we've come seeking your protection."

"What do you mean by that?" Vincent asked indifferently.

Sebastian explained, "We have clashed openly with the Azure. We know they won't spare us. So we hope to gain protection from you, Mr. Chesterton."

"I see..." Vincent raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Seeing Vincent's silence, Sebastian swallowed nervously and continued, "To demonstrate our sincerity, we are willing to offer half of our assets to V&E Group..."

He looked anxiously at Vincent.

Although they had decided to offer this tribute to Vincent, whether he would accept it was still uncertain.

"Half of your assets? That's quite a bold move," Vincent chuckled lightly and asked, "So, how much does half of the Big Four Corporations' assets amount to?"

Sebastian replied, "One hundred billion dollars in total."

One hundred billion dollars was an unimaginable sum for ordinary people, but for the Big Four Corporations, it was merely half of their assets.

Vincent remained silent.

Truth be told, he didn't even bat an eye at the so-called one hundred billion dollars. Vincent was incredibly wealthy himself. Even if it were one trillion dollars, he wouldn't have been impressed.

Seeing Vincent's silence, the four chairmen became even more nervous. Sweat dripped down their foreheads as they anxiously watched Vincent. They were afraid that he might reject their offer, leaving them without any hope.

Three minutes later, Vincent tapped the table and said, "Prepare a transfer of assets document. I'll have Sean sign it with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Chesterton!" the four chairmen exclaimed with joy upon Vincent's acceptance.

Sean stood by, completely dumbfounded. He never expected the four chairmen would personally offer half of their assets like this, and they seemed fearful that Vincent might refuse. What in the world was happening? Was the world going crazy or changing too fast?

Even during the signing, Sean remained dazed.

And so, half of the Big Four Corporations' assets were diverted to the pocket of Vincent.

"Mr. Chesterton..." Sean looked at Vincent with his throat dry, unable to find words.

Vincent patted his shoulder gently. "Starting today, Starlight Entertainment will be renamed the Nacehope Branch of V&E Group. You are now in charge of it. I'll give you three days to integrate all the assets transferred from the Big Four Corporations."

"Within a week, I expect the branch company to secure fifty percent of Nacehope City's market. Can you handle that?"

Sean was shocked. He never imagined Vincent would appoint him as head of this branch company and entrust him with managing the Big Four Corporations' transferred assets. The magnitude of Vincent's trust overwhelmed him, and his eyes reddened slightly.

He immediately replied with determination, "Mr. Chesterton, you can count on me. I won't let you down."

"Mr. Chesterton, about..." the four chairmen looked at Vincent, hesitant to continue.

Vincent calmly interrupted, "You may return now. If the Azure dares to come, I guarantee they won't leave alive."

Relieved, the four chairmen nodded. "Mr. Chesterton, we will take our leave." With that, they departed.

Vincent turned to Galahad. "Galahad, I'm entrusting you with the task of protecting the Big Four Corporations."

Excitedly, Galahad responded, "My lord, rest assured. If the Azure's people dare to come, they will know my strength!" With those words, he hurried off to make arrangements.

"Honey, I think I just saw the chairmen of the Big Four Corporations here?" Emma and Crystal walked in.

Today, Emma and Crystal had gone shopping together. Downstairs, they unexpectedly met these chairmen. They were exceedingly polite to them, leaving Emma and Crystal surprised.

Vincent smiled. "Yes! They came seeking my protection and transferred half of their assets to me. Starting today, Starlight Entertainment will be known as the Nacehope Branch of V&E Group."

"What? Transfer half of their assets to you?" Emma and Crystal were stunned to hear this. They both turned to Sean simultaneously.

Sean nodded at them. "It's all true."

Upon hearing this confirmation, they believed it, but it still felt unreal, like a dream! Especially for Emma. She had only come to Nacehope City to explore the market. Vincent had previously acquired Starlight Entertainment, and now the Big Four Corporations were handing over half of their businesses.

She suddenly felt a sense of frustration, feeling herself useless. She hadn't done anything yet, and everything seemed already accomplished!

At the Azure headquarters, Tim sat on the sofa and asked, "How did it go? How was everything handled?"

Mr. Grey, standing below, respectfully replied, "Everything went very smoothly. The England Joseph family has agreed to cooperate with us, and they've already sent people to Z City. They should have taken control by now."

"Very good!" Tim stood up, his eyes gleaming.

"Spread my orders. Launch an attack on the Big Four Corporations immediately. Tonight, I'm gonna wipe the Big Four Corporations off the map in Nacehope City!"

"Yes, Mr. Wright!" Upon receiving the command, Mr. Grey immediately withdrew to make arrangements.

Soon, over ten thousand members of the Azure rushed towards the properties of the Big Four Corporations.

Tim squinted his eyes. "This is the consequence of crossing me. I will assert my dominance over you! Let's see who dares to mess with the Azure after this!"
