    Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Upon hearing Chris’s words, the middle-aged man’s expression suddenly turned grim.


    His name was ke Thomas, Chairman of the Thomas Group and owner of GH Company. It was he who had personally purchased the GH Company from Logan Jones.


    “What are you doing here? And even further, resorting to violence? Are you trying to sabotage my ns?!” ke Thomas asked sternly.


    Seeing the appearance of ke Thomas, Sherry Jones had already seen red with fury. If it weren’t for Thomas’s scheming in the past, how could GH Company have ended up in his hands?


    However, Sherry was also aware that retrieving GH Company would be a tough task without ke Thomas’s agreement.


    Therefore, no matter how angry she was, Sherry had to restrain her inner fury.


    “Brother…” Sherry turned to White Mitchell. She wanted to advise him not to act impulsively, but at this moment, White Mitchell merely smiled lightly, an aura of tranquility on his face.


    “What’s the matter, you’re holding a public auction and I came here to participate in the auction fairly. Could it be that I’m not allowed to?” White Mitchell said, his face calm.


    ke Thomas narrowed his eyes. At this time, Chris and his father got up from the ground, ring at White with hatred.


    “Mr. Thomas, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense. A girl already abandoned by the Jones family and a boy who just got out of prison, where did they get the qualification to participate in the auction.


    They’re obviously here to cause trouble. I think we should call the police and have them all arrested.” Chris said gritting his teeth.


    But at this moment, ke Thomas red at him fiercely: “Calling the police now, do you want to ruin the auction?


    Furthermore, the big shot from the Royal Group will be here soon. If he sees such a scene, would he even want to purchase thepany?


    Fool!”


    Facing ke Thomas’s scolding, Chris’s face turned gray, and he felt greatly aggrieved.


    “Mr. Thomas, are we then going to let them disrupt the auction?” Zack, who had kept his silence till then, finally spoke.


    ke Thomas gave him a disgruntled nce, and then looked at White with a stern expression: “You can enter, I have no objections. But, if you dare to cause trouble inside,


    Hmph! I assure you, you’ll die a miserable death!”


    Facing the threat from ke Thomas, White Mitchell appeared nonchnt, holding Sherry’s hand, and walked grandiosely into the auction.


    Seeing his warning ignored, ke Thomas’s face turned as ck as charcoal.


    “Mr. Thomas, look at their attitudes, they simply don’t care about you. Such people should be severely taught a lesson, how can they just…” Chris and his father eximed indignantly.


    But before they could finish their sentence, ke Thomas red at them: “Enough! No more, hurry and clean up. The people from the Royal Group will be here soon.


    Once the Royal Group purchases the GH Company, as thepany veterans, wouldn’t you benefit too?


    Do not rush. There will be plenty of time to deal with these small fryter.” Upon hearing these words, the mood of Chris and his father improved.


    Right, the people who wereing belonged to the Royal Group, an entity that stood at the top of the food chain in Sayon’s business world.


    They were not a third-tier wealthy family, nor a second-tier, not even a first-tier, but the only elite wealthy family in Sayon, the Royal Group!


    Moreover, rumors had circted recently, stating that the Royal Group had won the favor of a high-ranking official from the War Department.


    This official had enormous power, and the Royal Group was likely to cling onto this official’s coattail to rise a step higher!


    In such a case, once the Royal Group acquired GH Company, then GH Company would be a fully-owned subsidiary of the Royal Group and would ride the crest of the wave.


    As the top executives of GH Company, they would be able to live a life of luxury and prosperity.


    When one person achieves enlightenment, his pets ascend to heaven as well!


    Not to mention White Mitchell, even the Jones Family, would probably have to bow down to them.


    “Mr. Thomas is really brilliant, immediately identifying the problem. We father and son nearly messed up big time,” Chris said, sucking up.


    “Mr. Thomas, I’ve heard that the Royal Group not only wants to acquire GH Company, but also wants to take the Thomas Family under its wings. It seems like in the future, my father and I will need to rely heavily on you,” Zack promptly added.


    Hearing this, ke Thomas chuckled and said pompously, “Why, thank you. This has all been a stroke of luck.’


    Unexpectedly, the Royal Group announcedst night that they would be attending today and expressed their intent to acquire the Thomas Group as well.


    It seems like our rtionships will be changing. No longer will we be boss and employee, instead we’ll all be staff of the Royal Group. Hahaha…”


    Upon hearing this, both Chris and Zackughed along, ttering ke Thomas with sycophantic smiles.


    They knew that although ke Thomas imed the boss-employee rtionship was over, ke was still their superior.


    And now, ke Thomas was linked with the Royal Group. This held far more promise for the future.


    So, both Chris and Zack were prepared to not only continue pleasing ke Thomas, but to work even harder than before.


    Just as ke Thomas andpany were reveling in triumph, a ck Rolls-Royce suddenly appeared at the auction entrance.


    The three men’s eyes instantly focused, and ke Thomas led Chris and Zack in warmly greeting the car’s passengers.


    Zack quickly assumed the role of a doorman, cautiously opening the car door and weing those inside.


    The next moment, a mature man with a pointy chin and sunken cheeks, exuding arrogance, slowly emerged from the car.


    “Mr. Herb, wee. I’m ke Thomas. Your presence truly graces our auction. Wee, wee…”


    ke Thomas eagerly approached, licking his lips, but the middle-aged man didn’t even nce at him, showing clear disdain for ke’s extended hand.


    His name was Ethan Herb, a rtive of David Herb and a business manager in the Royal Group. The task of acquiring GH Company was given to Ethan by David.


    Originally, David Herb intended toe himself, but White thought it would draw too much attention, so he had David send a subordinate instead.


    Once the acquisition of GH Company wasplete, they would figure out how to transfer it to Sherry Jones’ name.


    But even as just a manager of Royal Group, Ethan Herb’s identity was enough to make a patriarch of a third-tier power like ke Thomas go out of his way to ingratiate himself.


    As for Chris and Zack, they were eager to put themselves in the forefront for Ethan Herb.


    Pity that Ethan Herb seemed to not hold them in high regard at all. He didn’t seem to think much about GH Company either.


    If it weren’t for David Herb’s personal orders, Ethan wouldn’t bothering to acquire a smallpany as he felt it beneath his dignity.


    “Has the auction started yet?” Ethan Herb asked impatiently.


    ke Thomas immediately replied in a sycophantic manner, “It will start very soon, right when Mr. Herb says so.”


    Ethan Herb nodded indifferently and proceeded to enter the auction venue.


    By then, over a dozen potential buyers for GH were already sitting in the auction house.


    However, upon seeing Ethan Herb, they immediately dropped what they were doing to ingratiate themselves.


    Although Ethan Herb didn’t say anything, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of people fawning over him.


    Yet, among all these people, he noticed two who remained seated, apparentlypletely indifferent to his presence.


    Those two people were White Mitchell and Sherry Jones.


    On seeing this, Ethan Herb’s face darkened instantly.. He turned to ke Thomas and asked discontentedly, “Who are those two over there? Are they here for the auction as well?”
