I am the King

Chapter 37

"Help!"

"Save us, please spare our lives!"

Norman and Edison screamed desperately.

The two had never expected that Sid would actually want to kill them, especially in such a brutal manner. They had thought that if they came to confess their wrongdoings and provide information about Vincent, Sid's men would at least spare their lives. Holding each other tight as they faced the snarling hounds, they began regretting their return deeply.

"Wait!" Just as Norman and his son wept and begged for mercy, Armand suddenly spoke up.

"Dad!" Sid shouted angrily at Armand upon realizing that he planned to intervene.

Armand calmly said, "Killing them would be easy, but I still have use for them."

"Thank you, Uncle, for sparing our lives!" After narrowly escaping death, Norman and Edison, now paralyzed with fear, could only kneel on the ground and express their gratitude to Armand.

Armand glanced at Norman and his son with displeasure, "Don't get too happy too soon. I'm letting you off with a condition. If you can't complete my task, I'll make your deaths even more painful."

Norman quickly said, "Uncle, we will do anything you say!"

Armand calmly said, "My condition is simple. You must help us secure the industrial zone project in M City and also get rid of Franklin's son-in-law, Vincent."

Norman immediately nodded, "Uncle, no problem, we guarantee that we’ll get this done." Now with no other choice, Norman and Edison had to do their utmost to help Armand.

"Dad, do you still trust these lying scoundrels? They turned Corey into a eunuch. I want to kill them right now!" Sid glared angrily at Norman and Edison.

Armand glared at Sid and said sternly, "As the future head of the Joseph family, how can you be so impulsive? Remember, you must always prioritize the interests of the family. Don’t blame me for being rude when you can’t even understand that."

Sid was immediately startled and hurriedly said, "Dad, I know I was wrong."

Armand nodded, "This time, you will personally oversee the industrial zone project. You must secure the project in M City. Also, bring that madman Vincent to me. I want to kill him myself and avenge Corey!"

Sid gritted his teeth, "Dad, I will definitely do it."

"You two, get up quickly! There's work to be done now!" Sid shouted at Norman and his son.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Norman and Edison quickly stood up and followed Sid out.

As Armand watched their departing figures, his face gradually darkened. For him, if he could secure the industrial park project here and further develop the Joseph family, everything would be worth it.

Meanwhile, inside Cloudtop Villa.

"Dad, are you facing any difficulties in taking over V&E Group? If there's any problem, you can tell me directly. I can help you solve it." Vincent asked Franklin as they sat eating at the dining table.

Franklin thought for a moment, "The biggest problem now is that V&E Group's development has hit a plateau. I heard that M City is planning to launch an industrial park project worth tens of billions, so I want to nail this project. It would be a huge boost for the company's future development."

Vincent smiled, "It's just an industrial park project. Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."

"Vincent, are you sure?" Franklin asked with surprise.

Emma also spoke with a solemn expression, "Vincent, you don't know. This is the biggest project here right now. I don't know how many companies are eyeing this pie. It won’t be easy for V&E Group to secure this project."

The industrial park project in M City was worth billions. So many people wanted a piece of this enormous pie. With V&E Group's current size, swallowing a billion-dollar order was simply a fantasy.

Vincent smiled, "Don't worry. I'll definitely find a way to help you land it."

Franklin and Emma exchanged glances, both wearing expressions of disbelief. They had originally planned to bid for the industrial park project as a small contractor so that V&E Group could get a share of the pie. But from Vincent's tone, it seemed like he intended to secure the entire project. That was quite ambitious!

Later in the evening.

Vincent called Stanley Field.

"Stanley Field, are you in charge of the industrial park project?"

Stanley Field replied respectfully, "Yes, I am. Are you interested in this project, Mr. Chesterton?"

Vincent nodded, "My father-in-law is now the chairman of V&E Group. I want you to hand over the industrial park project to him."

"Alright, no problem. The bidding conference for the industrial park project is three days from now. I'll arrange it in advance." Stanley Field said.

"Thank you," Vincent enthusiastically replied.

"You're welcome. It's my pleasure to be of service to you, Mr. Chesterton." Stanley Field replied.

After hanging up the phone, Vincent walked out of the bathroom. Upon seeing Emma still working in front of the computer, he walked over and asked with concern, "Why are you still working? It's late, you should rest now!"

Emma sighed lightly, "I also want to rest, but I've just taken over as president of V&E Group, so there are so many things I have to handle. I'm afraid that if I don't do well, the company might go under. Then what should I do?"

Vincent smiled, "It's just V&E Group. It doesn't matter if it goes under. If you want, I can open a hundred such companies for you!"

With Vincent's status and power, this was actually possible. The influence of the Roundtable was widespread globally, and even as an agency of theirs, the International Peace Corporation's business scope and market value were incalculable.

Emma shook her head with a firm expression, "No! Vincent, I know you're a big figure, but I don't want to be your little pet. I don't want to be protected by you all the time. I wanna prove my ability and become a stronger woman."

Vincent hugged Emma, holding her firmly in his arms as he smiled gently, "You silly girl, don't worry. No matter what I become, you're the only woman in my heart..."

As he spoke, Vincent's hand slowly moved downward. Emma inhaled in the fragrance of Vincent's body wash and let out a charming moan...
