Upon reaching the conference room on the top floor, a scream was heard from the meeting room as Fade was about to knock on the door. "That's impossible," the voice rang.
Upon hearing the sound, he instantly slammed open the door.
Everyone's eyes immediately fell onto him.
As soon as Fade was seen, Ernest's angry face was instantly replaced with excitement and a smile. He rushed over and said, "Fade, you're back?"
"Mr. Soo!" Fade nodded as he swept his gaze across the conference room while scanning a few familiar faces.
There was also a man in his twenties, with a proud look on his face. Fade couldn't recognize him at all. He was standing beside Evelyn and her father, Dyson.
"Mr. Soo, what's going on?" Fade asked.
Even before Ernest could open his mouth, Evelyn stood up and said with a proud look, "Let me tell you, Fade. We, the Qin family, have come today to acquire Ernest Company."
"You want to acquire my company! Can you afford it?" Fade asked her.
She looked towards Fade with a sinister sneer. "You want to talk about price? Let's do it..." She said.
On the other hand, the young man with a proud look threw out a hundred yuan bill onto the table as he sat in his chair. "This is the price that we, the Qin family, offered, a hundred yuan, to completely acquire your Ernest Company," he said with an arrogant laugh.
Fade stared at him for a few seconds. His face darkened and said coldly, "Who gave you the courage to use a hundred yuan to acquire my company?"
As he spoke, his energy surged from his body. Evelyn and Dyson's expressions instantly changed.
However, the young man unleashed his positive energy with an arrogant look. He blocked Fade's energy surge and stood up. "Giving you a hundred yuan to acquire your company is just a sign of respect to your dignity. Your company will still be mine even if I don't give a single dime," he said.
"You don't have the qualifications to acquire my company," Fade shouted coldly. Once again, increased energy surged from his body and suppressed the young man.
The young man's face immediately turned red. However, his energy was limited as he desperately attempted to use his own positive energy to suppress Fade. In the end, he couldn't hold on and was forced to sit down.
At that moment, Dyson looked at Ernest and said, "Director Soo, do you really want to let things get out of control?"
Upon hearing this, Ernest's face changed. He gently pulled Fade's clothes and said, "Fade..."
He withdrew his surge of energy and looked at Dyson. "I'll give you one more chance to explain this to me. If you don't provide an appropriate answer, be prepared to accept my wrath!" He warned.
Dyson's expression slightly stiffened. Then, he explained. "Mr. Chen, the reason why we have come today is to not only represent the Qin family but the Flying Dragon Clan as well."
"Flying Dragon Clan!" Fade's eyes turned cold.
Dyson pointed at the arrogant young man beside him. "This is my disciple of the Qin family, Henwick. He was selected by the envoy of the Flying Dragon Clan. When the master of the Flying Dragon Clan arrives, he will be accepted as an official disciple of the Flying Dragon Clan," he
explained.
"Now, we represent not only the Qin Family but also the Flying Dragon Clan," Dyson added.
"Thus, Mr. Chen, you should be clear about this. Now, the Flying Dragon Clan wants the Ernest Company. If you refuse, there will be consequences. Mr. Chen, I believe you'll understand more than I do as someone with a martial arts background," Dyson concluded.
Ernest sighed and explained, "A month ago, the representatives of the Flying Dragon Clan came to East Coast. Every major family and shareholder turned to them, one after another. Those who were previously on our side pulled out while some even turned their backs against us and attacked us in the process."
"Ernest Company opened not too long ago, so our foundation was still quite shallow even with the support from Li Group and Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. The situation is only getting worse as we were constantly getting an allied attack," he added.
"Of course, what's even more devastating is that our customers have lost faith in our products and brand. They wouldn't even purchase our products as they're worried that we could be eliminated by the Flying Dragon Clan at any time."
"The company's performance isn't good. Hence, the situation of the employees was declining as well. Many of them left and for those who stayed, they're not in the best condition either."
Upon hearing this, Fade nodded and thought for a moment. "Mr. Soo, I have a way to save Ernest Company," he said.
"What is it?" Ernest asked hurriedly.
"Mr. Soo, you just mentioned that the biggest problem of the company now is that the citizens have lost faith in our products and brands and are not willing to buy our products. If we create a high-quality, model product and make them want to rush to get it, their trust and faith towards us will naturally be restored," Fade explained.
Ernest looked bitter and said, "Of course, it's a good idea. However, it's not that easy to make a high-quality product."
"As the Hsiang family and the Qin clan have pledged allegiance to the Flying Dragon Clan, their products naturally received support from them. Their products are now in trend and customers can't get enough of them. Moreover, clans like them are superior to the ordinary. Therefore, whatever they support will naturally be something good," Ernest explained.
"Mr. Soo, I understand your concern. However, you don't have to worry as I've already created this high-quality product," Fade explained.
"What have you created?" Ernest felt that it was unbelievable and immediately asked.
Fade wasn't in a hurry to answer. Instead, he revealed several crystal clear bottles and placed them on the table. "Mr. Soo, do you know what these are?"
