King's Awakening

Cooper then chuckled coldly at the two of them, speaking dismissively, “Fine, then kill her now and I’ll grant your request.”

Uh…

At this phrase, Alan’s face suddenly froze. For a split second, there was indeed a touch of murderous intent in his eyes.

However, he was quick to recuperate.

This was just Cooper making a joke, if he did kill Grandy Anderson; wouldn’t he be labeled a murderer?

Even if he were to kill, he definitely wouldn’t do it so publicly!

Realizing this, Alan managed a hard smile across his rigid face. Looking distressed, he said to Cooper, “Elder Robert, you… you can stop joking with me, I…”

On hearing this, Cooper let out a cold laugh, and before Alan could finish his sentence, harshly demanded, “Joking? Wasn’t it you who began this joke with me? Isn’t it so!?

You really think because I am old, my eyes are dimmed?

Humph! Don’t think I can’t see your crooked intentions, even daring to use my granddaughter, you’ve got guts!”

Whoosh!

At these words, Alan felt his heart lurch, and he trembled uncontrollably. Then, he kneeled on the floor, pleading desperately to Cooper.

However, Cooper didn’t even listen to a word he said. Instead, he had others throw Alan out of the Emperor’s Residence.

Soon, Alan Austin and Grandy Anderson, both looking ashen, were unceremoniously kicked out of the Emperor’s Residence, both of them looking dejected.

“Alan, I…” Grandy Anderson looked at Alan with an aggrieved expression, feeling bitter.

Alan gave her an annoyed look and said impatiently, “You’ve really disappointed me. You even messed up such a simple task and let Cooper catch on.

All harm, no benefit. Humph!”

Alan snorted coldly, turned around and left the Emperor’s Residence without worrying whether Grandy followed him. He headed straight towards the Weiden’s residence.

Sayon, the Green Family.

“Dad, I’ve told you from the beginning that there would be problems. Now look, even my relationship with Sana has suffered,” April roared angrily as soon as she arrived home.

Thaw, who was standing beside her, was as restless as a cat on hot bricks, murmuring, “How was I supposed to know things would turn out this way.

Oh, my daughter, what can we do now? Without the Roberts’s support, our carefully built network will be destroyed.

Think of a solution; save our family. Why don’t you go and beg Miss Robert again?”

April puffed out her cheeks at these words. Crossing her arms over her chest, she retorted, “Dad, can’t you see how furious Elder Robert is right now? If I dare appear, wouldn’t he skin me alive?

I told you that making a deal with someone like Alan Austin was just like bargaining with a wolf, you wouldn’t listen and insisted on getting involved.

See what happened? Even our Green family has been dragged into a disaster because of them.”

Upon hearing this, Thaw felt helpless. He had never imagined things would reach such a state.

“Although, Elder Robert’s attitude was a bit unusual today, it’s not his style,” April changed the topic when Thaw was seemingly at the end of his rope, speaking in a strange tone.

Thaw immediately asked, “My girl, have you thought of something?”

April shook her head: “I can’t be sure yet. I will make a conclusion when things become clear. Right now, we need to lay low.

We can’t afford another hitch. Otherwise, no one could save our Green family.”

After saying this, April went back to her room. She then began to search online for information about the case against White Mitchell five years ago.

Yes, she suspected that Elder Robert’s unusual behavior today was due to White Mitchell.

Since White Mitchell appeared in Sayon, he had been acting recklessly and ambitiously, messing with everyone, whether he should or not.

But somehow, he has been able to survive unscathed to this day.

Combined with Elder Robert’s attitude today, April is now highly suspicious that White Mitchell isn’t as simple as he seems.

So April dived head first into White Mitchell’s information, hoping to find a clue.

On the other hand, Alan Austin, who was at his wit’s end, brought Grandy Anderson to the Weiden family’s villa to meet Noah Weiden.

Now, the Robert Family has issued a ban, forbidding the Robert Family and anyone associated with them from supplying building materials to them.

Other materials suppliers probably wouldn’t dare irritate the Robert Family by risking their wrath selling supplies to him either.

As such, even if they manage to secure the Nezzi New Town project, they wouldn’t have any materials to work with.

If they messed up the New Town of Nezzi, wouldn’t the Nezzi command department eliminate them?

Thinking of this, Alan Austin grew extremely anxious. As soon as he saw Noah Weiden, he recounted everything that had happened at the cocktail party.

“What did you say!? Cooper issued an embargo against the Imperial Group? How do you guys conduct business!” Noah Weiden, upon receiving the news, looked at the two with fury.

“Cooper is too cunning. He saw through our ploy of using Sana Robert to pressure White Mitchell and Sherry Jones,” Alan Austin sighed regretfully.

Clearly, in their eyes, the reason why Cooper became so furious was precisely because he realized that they were using his granddaughter.

How dare they use Cooper’s granddaughter as a pawn?

Anybody in his position would not let the matter rest.

That’s exactly what’s happening now.

At this point, Grandy Anderson quickly added, “Luckily, before Cooper interfered, Sana Robert had already ordered not to provide building materials to Sherry.”

After hearing this news, Noah Weiden’s mood improved slightly.

Following that, Noah Weiden said, “I will call my grandfather and see if we can secure some building materials from the Martial Department.”

Materials from the Martial Department?

Upon hearing this, Alan Austin was startled. This implies using the Martial Department’s materials for personal use. If this got out, they would lose their heads.

Noah Weiden, seeing their shocked faces, then snapped, “Would I need to go to such lengths if you hadn’t offended Cooper?”

At these words, Alan Austin and Grandy were both speechless. However, knowing that Noah Weiden was handling the building materials problem, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Soon, Grandy Anderson began speaking, “Sherry Jones’ success today is nothing more than the result of having a mysterious backer.

As long as we spread the news about her upsetting Sana Robert, her mysterious backer will surely not support her anymore.

I’ll visit the Jones Group tomorrow. I’m eager to see what kind of tricks Sherry Jones has up her sleeve this time!”

Sayon, Jones Group.

Early the next morning, Sherry Jones rushed to the company without even having breakfast.

Currently, Sana Robert had already announced that she would no longer supply them with building materials. Sherry had to find a new materials supplier before the bidding began.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have a chance at securing the Nezzi new town project.

But what Sherry didn’t expect was that shortly after she arrived at the company, an unwelcome guest appeared at the Jones Group.

The visitor was Grandy Anderson!

Grandy Anderson was obviously harboring ill intentions. As soon as she arrived at the Jones Group, she openly scorned, “A small workshop like this wants to bid for the Nezzi New Town project?

I must say, I had overestimated you all.

When the Jones’ people told me that they were just a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people, I didn’t believe them. Now, I see it for myself, they really are a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled!”
