"Are we really gonna give away half of our assets to V&E Group? It's hard to accept!"
"Yeah! Generations of hard work, just given away like that."
"Is there really no other way?"
The chairmen of the other three major corporations hesitated at Sebastian's proposal. After all, giving away half of their assets to Vincent would be a severe blow to them.
Sebastian sneered, "Decide for yourselves! I've made up my mind. As for you, I can't control that!"
With that, he stood up and prepared to head to Starlight Entertainment.
Seeing him leave, the other chairmen became anxious.
"I advise you all, money can be earned again, but if lives are lost, there's nothing left. Take care of yourselves!" With these words, Sebastian left the hall.
"Wait, we'll go with you!" Upon hearing this, the other three called out and hurriedly followed him.
After all, compared to lives, money was insignificant. As long as they were alive, these assets given away could eventually be regained. If Vincent truly proved powerful, he could shelter them, even elevating the business of the Big Four Corporations to new heights!
But once the Azure launched an attack, they would be powerless to resist. At this moment, all their hopes rested on Vincent.

At Starlight Entertainment, Galahad spoke to Vincent with curiosity, "My lord, do you really think the people from the Big Four Corporations will come?"
Vincent smiled, "Of course! If they are smart enough, they'll come."
Curious, Galahad asked further, "What if no one shows up?"
"Huh!" Vincent chuckled coldly, "That means they are surrendering. After tomorrow, there will be no Big Four Corporations in Nacehope City!"
Upon hearing this, Galahad was greatly taken aback.
The fate of these Big Four Corporations seemed out of luck, and silently, he prayed for them.
Vincent inquired, "By the way, any movements from the Azure?"
Respectfully, Galahad replied, "As my lord predicted, the Azure has sent people to ally with the England Joseph family. They have already sent people to attack Z City. Now the Z City branch has been occupied by them, Porter's legs were broken, and he's been hung at the gate..."
Vincent said coldly, "They are truly asking for death! I've already spared them once, but I didn't expect them to dare come and seek their doom."
Galahad asked with concern, "My lord, should we return to Z City? I fear the England Joseph family might launch an attack on M City sooner or later."
With Emma's parents still in M City, the consequences could be unimaginable if any danger arose.
Vincent replied calmly, "No need. I have made some arrangements. Since they dare to come, I will ensure they meet their end."
As he spoke, a murderous aura emanated from him, instantly lowering the temperature around them to freezing point. Galahad couldn't help but shudder. It seemed the England Joseph family was truly doomed this time.
"Mr. Chesterton, the chairmen from the Big Four Corporations are outside. They want to meet you!" Just then, Sean rushed in, his face filled with alarm.
Having all the chairmen of the Big Four Corporations gathered at Starlight Entertainment almost scared Sean out of his wits.
In Nacehope City, gaining an audience with these leaders was akin to reaching for the stars. Sean hadn't expected all of them to show up at Starlight Entertainment today. It completely caught him off guard.
Seeing Sean's frantic state, Vincent remarked calmly, "You are working for me now. Don't panic over everything. Remember, this kind of stuff is gonna happen more and more. You better get used to it."
"I...," Sean started, unsure what else to say.
In Vincent's eyes, the chairmen of the Big Four Corporations seemed insignificant. His face was devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
In that moment, Sean's curiosity about Vincent's identity grew stronger. Vincent seemed shrouded in a mysterious veil, making it impossible to discern his true nature. Yet Sean was certain—Vincent was no ordinary person.
Taking a deep breath, Sean said, "Mr. Chesterton, I understand."
"Good," Vincent nodded. "Tell the chairmen of the Big Four Corporations to wait for me in the conference room. I'll be there shortly."
"Yes," Sean replied respectfully before leaving the office.
Galahad looked at Vincent with admiration and said, "Just as you expected, my lord. The chairmen from the Big Four Corporations have indeed arrived."
Vincent smiled and said, "In the face of life, everything else is futile. If they hadn't come today, the Azure would launch their attack tonight. They would face annihilation. Do you think they had a choice?"
Galahad was sharply hit by Vincent's words. Vincent had foreseen everything, predicting that the chairmen from the Big Four Corporations would have no choice but to come.
"Alright, let's go see what surprises they've got in store!" Vincent declared, standing up and leaving the office.
Galahad followed closely behind.

"Mr. Chesterton will be here shortly. Please wait a moment," Sean informed the chairmen from the Big Four Corporations as he ushered them into the conference room.
"Thanks," replied one of the chairmen politely.
Sean was pleasantly surprised. In the past, these chairmen wouldn't have even known him. Now, their courteous demeanor was entirely due to Vincent's influence.
Sean stepped out to arrange for coffee service.
Inside the conference room, the chairmen sat anxiously.
Stan anxiously asked, "Do you think Mr. Chesterton will come to see us?"
"Who knows! I really have no idea why he asked us come to the conference room," Spencer expressed his concern.
Their visit this time was a significant decision. If Vincent refused to see them, their trip would have been in vain.
Sebastian sat quietly, sipping his coffee and saying nothing.
"Mr. Raglan, do you have any thoughts?" the chairmen from the other three major corporations simultaneously turned to ask him.
Sebastian chuckled lightly. "What thoughts could I have? Since we're all here, we might as well make the best of it."
Upon hearing this, the other chairmen exchanged speechless looks.
Sebastian always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, even now with things coming to a head. If they couldn't find a solution, they'd be finished once the Azure launched their attack.
The other chairmen were not as composed as Sebastian.
Seeing the anxious expressions on Stan and the others, Sebastian's face briefly displayed a hint of disdain.
'A bunch of idiots. If it weren't for me, they'd probably already be waiting for the Azure to come and kill them!'
"Mr. Chesterton is here!" Just as these chairmen were becoming increasingly restless, a voice called out.
Upon hearing that, they simultaneously turned towards the door. The conference room doors opened, and Vincent strode in with his head held high.
