King's Awakening

“Mr. Azure Dragon, please… don’t… don’t do this. My granddaughter was just confused for a moment. It’s not intentional. She was led astray… What? You said you want to return the building materials? Sir, sir, sir…”

Beep-beep-beep…

Listening to the sound of the electric current coming from the phone, a look of desolation spread across Cooper’s old face, as if all his strength had been drained. He slumped onto the couch.

“It’s over, the Robert Family is done for.” Cooper said with a distressed expression, fear clearly written in his eyes as if the end of the world was upon him, filling him with profound despair.

Just then, Cooper’s housekeeper entered the villa, nervously saying, “Sir… sir, is Miss Sana… is she… ”

As soon as he heard Sana Robert’s name, Cooper was instantly filled with indignant frustration.

How could he, with his lifetime of honor, have raised such an ugly and foolish granddaughter?

If White Mitchell had merely ignored her, that would have been one thing. But she had been naive enough to be used by others. She had practically thrown the Robert family’s reputation away.

If this granddaughter wasn’t his own, he probably would have slapped her into the ground by now.

Cooper heaved a heavy sigh, and scolded in frustration: “Let her continue kneeling!”

At this moment when Cooper was irritated and furious, a text message arrived on his cell phone, sent by the Azure Dragon, the War King of Nezzi.

The message was brief, only seven characters long: Go apologize to Miss Jones.

At the sight of the message, Cooper’s face lit up with a joyful expression, and he immediately instructed his housekeeper, “Quick, get the car ready. I need to go and apologize to Miss Jones. Hurry up!

And take that fool Sana with you. Tell her that this is her only chance to atone. If she wants me to forgive her, she should toss aside her airs and apologize to Miss Jones today.

If she dares to show any hint of dissent, I’ll be the one to deal with her!”

Sayon, Jones Group.

As Cooper rushed to the Jones Group with his people, it was already a tense situation at the Jones Group’s end.

“Grandy Anderson, this is our Jones Group’s territory. You are not welcome here. Please leave immediately!” Elijah Bailey, leading a group of employees, stopped Grandy Anderson and her people at the door.

Grandy Anderson sneered coldly and said dismissively, “With this group of sick and weak old people? You really think you can stop me?

Even if I don’t leave today, what can you do about it?”

As soon as her words fell, a group of burly men following Grandy Anderson stepped forward, exuding a powerful aura which was extremely oppressive.

Obviously, these people were all skilled fighters. Elijah Bailey and his men couldn’t chase them away just like that.

At that moment, Sherry Jones and Mori Jones, hearing the commotion, rushed out.

“Elijah, let me handle this.” Sherry Jones began to speak, and then promptly put her frail body in front of all the employees of the Jones Group.

“Grandy Anderson, you’ve already had your way with yesterday’s incident. What do you want now?” Sherry Jones glared fiercely, her eyes locked on Grandy Anderson.

Upon hearing her words, a playful smile appeared on Grandy Anderson’s face. She said, “Haven’t you heard of kicking one when they’re down?”

“You!”

Sherry Jones was instantly silenced, her pretty face reddened, and her heart was filled with rage.

“Grandy Anderson, if you dare to make trouble here, I will immediately call the police. I don’t believe that The Patrol would then believe your lies like Sana Robert did!” Sherry Jones spat out through gritted teeth.

But, hearing this, Grandy Anderson seemed not the least bit worried and instead presented an expression of supreme confidence.

Seeing her look, Mori Jones couldn’t help but speak, “Don’t be overly confident, Grandy Anderson. The project in the new town of Nezzi has yet to be finalized.

It’s still not clear who will come out on top.

On the other hand, you are causing trouble here. If this reaches officials in the Nezzi Command, what consequences do you expect?”

Mori Jones had intended to make Grandy Anderson feel apprehensive. Unexpectedly, her words had instead amplified the playful expression on Grandy Anderson’s face.

The next moment, Grandy Anderson replied, “It seems like Mr. Jones hasn’t informed you about what happened at the Robert family banquet yesterday, has he?

Well, I’ll be the good person today and share this piece of news with you.

The heiress of the Robert family, Sana Robert, personally declared that she wants to boycott Sherry, beginning from today no construction companies will provide materials to you.

Still want to get the project in the new town of Nezzi? Hahaha….. ridiculous! Even if we, the Imperial Group, did not participate in the bidding and gave the project to you, could you even finish the project without any construction materials? Hahaha…”

This…

The people of the Jones Group were stunned by Grandy Anderson’s harsh words.

The influence of Dragon Steel Building Materials, supported by the Robert family, was vast, and they were well aware of it.

If Sherry was really boycotted by the Robert family, it would be nearly impossible for them to get any construction materials.

“Sherry, is this true?” Mori Jones asked with a furrowed brow as the employees behind her anxiously looked at Sherry, eager for an answer.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sherry subconsciously curled her lips. A bitter expression crept onto her face.

She hadn’t had a chance to share the news about the Robert family’s boycotting, yet Grandy Anderson had beaten her to it.

Seeing Sherry’s distressed look, the Jones Group employees realised the truth and their faces subsequently reflected a bitter expression similar to hers.

“Hahaha…”

Seeing Sherry and the others at a disadvantage, Grandy Anderson’s smirk became increasingly unabashed.

Then she said, “Sherry, just give it up. There’s no need to struggle. The one boycotting you now is Sana Robert, the daughter of the Robert family.

All the construction contractors throughout the Dragon Realm will show some respect for the Robert family. Do you really think somebody would dare to sell construction materials to you?

If I were you, I’d withdraw the bid as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will end up angering the Nezzi Command and bite off more than you can chew.”

Sherry, listening to all this, couldn’t help but feel her heart waver.

If she won the project for the new town of Nezzi and didn’t have construction materials to begin development, the outcome might be as Grandy Anderson described.

But the new town of Nezzi was important for a chance to ease White Mitchell’s predicament. Was she really going to give up like this?

At that moment, her heart was filled with inner struggles.

Just then, the elevator door beside the Jones Group office slowly opened, and a indifferent voice emerged, “When did Sherry need to tell the Robert family that she needed building materials?”
