“Master, I specially arranged for those artifacts to be ours, but someone just had to get in my way! He didn’t just rob us of those ten artifacts, rather, he had even humiliated Triple Group and had us fined!”
Park Cheon-shin’s breathing had turned erratic due to anger.
Lee Jae-shik’s expression changed subtly as he asked, “Is he difficult to deal with? It seems like this isn’t the first time he’s caused you trouble!”
“Well, yes. He’s a rather slippery fellow. But if we want to execute Triple Group’s plan, North Hampton must be tackled! This is the key to moving forward! So, I hope that you can help us in dealing with this issue, master!” Park Cheon-shin explained with a cold glint in his eyes.
Lee Jae-shik conducted a brief analysis before replying, “So, at the end of the day, Morris Group is the one pulling the strings?”
“Yes! I’ve received news that has confirmed that even the Rogers family from North Hampton is under Morris Group’s control! The owner of Morris Group is very mysterious and has powerful forces behind him! It was he who had taken down, Scott Yates, the former ruler of Quebec!”
Just speaking about it made fear creep up along Park Cheon-shin’s insides.
“Alright. Then send out an invitation to Morris Group in the name of Triple Group and request for a negotiation! A buy-over or a collaboration; it doesn’t matter. If they refuse, I will use force to get rid of all the obstacles. So you do what you have to do!” Lee Jae-shik affirmed coldly.
Park Cheon-shin’s eyes lit up.
“Thank you, master! I was just thinking of a way to cause a stir in Morris Group that would give us a chance to eliminate them. Negotiation is the perfect solution!”
If the negotiation were a success, Morris Group would concede defeat.
If the negotiation failed, he would have an excuse to get rid of Morris Group.
With the top Taekwondo master on his side, he feared no one.
“When it comes to negotiations, kindness and severity go hand-in-hand. Choi Hong-man, follow him to the negotiation!”
Lee Jae-shik gave his orders to the man standing next to him, who was close to two meters in height, bearing a weight of more than two hundred pounds.
“Yes, Master!” Choi Hong-man nodded.
He was the champion of Keerea’s free fighting competition, and not once did he lose, in all the years he had participated.
More than half the opponents he defeated had lost their lives, while the rest were either crippled or had spiraled into depression.
He was known as the ‘human-sized weapon’.
Later on, his already impressive fighting skills improved when Lee Jae-shik took him under his wing.
Since then, Choi Hong-man was practically invincible.
Lee Da-yong and Lee Da-jong combined were not even a match for him!
He was also rumored to be bulletproof.
Park Cheon-shin was overjoyed. “Okay. No problem! I’ll send my most capable subordinate to lead the negotiation. Over the years, she has never failed when discussing a collaboration! With Choi Hong-man backing her, this matter can be resolved, without the need for you to personally step in.”
The next day, the general manager of Triple Group in Erudia was switched out for someone else.
A woman took over Horace’s position.
No one knew about Horace’s whereabouts.
The woman was from a rather unique background. Firstly, she was an Erudian.
Secondly, she was Park Cheon-shin’s nephew, Lee Jung-jin’s fiancée, and the two of them would be marrying in five days.
According to the rules and regulations set by Triple Group headquarters, it was compulsory, for the general manager to be an Erudian.
Park Cheon-shin planned to control all the assets under Triple Group through this arrangement.
As of recent, Triple Group had been thrown into the center of public scrutiny, with the people possessing contradicting opinions about them. Nonetheless, their reputation suffered a great hit and they were currently being torn apart by various markets in North Hampton.
Under the oppression from many parties, Triple Group was losing its footing in North Hampton.
At Morris Group.
“Ms. Anabelle, just a while ago Triple Group had sent someone over, to invite us to a negotiation. It will be held in a conference room in Dynasty Hotel this afternoon! They had wanted to discuss the future development in North Hampton!”
Iris’ assistant relayed the message to her.
“What is Triple Group up to this time?”
Displeasure lined Iris’ features.
Triple Group had been doing many shady things recently.
They had even sent headhunters to target Morris Group’s executives, to convince them to jump ships.
Besides that, they had also been causing small disturbances to the distribution channels and merchants, disrupting Morris Group’s normal operations.
Although it did not harm the company’s substantive interests, their little ploys were getting increasingly unbearable, day by day.
Many employees at the company were beginning to complain, with all of them sending in requests for Iris to settle the matter.
