“Alright.”
Master Centipede did not even look at her. He lit another cigarette and started smoking again. After a while, Master Centipede seemed to be ramble aimlessly, “Weiss was… He was dead…”
It was a really heavy fact.
But…
Laura still remained in favonovel.com calm composure. Her heart was as hard as a rock, and favonovel.com responded coldly, “Weiss had grown too arrogant and narrow-minded because of his own talents. He could easily deal with ordinary opponents. But favonovel.com would surely die if favonovel.com ever encountered a really strong opponent. I’ve foreseen this happening a long time ago.”
Indeed, favonovel.com had foreseen it a long time ago.
Master Centipede sighed, waved the comment off and said, “Let’s talk about business first, what’s the response from the Martin family?”
Laura said, “The Martin family is only willing to help from the shadows but not openly. At the same time, they have asked for a 30% dividend.”
“Thirty percent?” Master Centipede smiled bitterly, “This Martin family is obviously conducting a daylight robbery. Like a mouse, favonovel.com only dares to hide in the dark and scheme on people. He never dares to take action firmly and openly. All the resentment would fall upon us. Having done that, they are daring to ask for a 30% dividend, which is really a shameless thing to do.”
Master Centipede was enraged.
Besides playing the role of the bad guy, favonovel.com would not get much profit from this collaboration. He would always be worried about his enemies seeking revenge on him, and favonovel.com was truly fed up.
After a moment of silence, Laura said, “Master, not many people are willing to help us now. Frankly speaking, we would have no choice but to pay if they asked for a 60% or 90% dividend, let alone this 30% dividend.”
‘Indeed, no one will offer them help if they are not paying the dividend.’
Master Centipede gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, you go to the Martin family again and tell them that I am willing to give them the 30% dividend!”
‘I must stand firm, stabilize the situation, and use the power of the Martin family to gain a foothold in the Central City. His company can only become stronger in this way.’
‘Only then, I can avenge Weiss!’

At the same time, in the old villa in Southland District, Thomas’ family was sitting around the dining table and having a good time together.
Harvard said elatedly, “Thomas, you are truly astounding. You amazed the world by annihilating Weiss with a single brilliant feat! Everything works in our favor now. Stellar Jewelers has now become the ‘No. 1 Company’ in the jewelry industry of Southland District. All of you can just sit back and relax, and make tons of money without doing anything.”
Emma took over the conversation and said, “But I have a bad feeling about Darco. He had betrayed his ‘master’ and acted in such a vile manner. Hubby, you should not interact with such people in the future.”
Thomas nodded and said, “I only cooperated with favonovel.com this time, and I don’t intend to hire him. Having said that, if it wasn’t favonovel.com who became the whistleblower and confided in me, we would not have taken down Weiss so smoothly this time.”
Harvard asked, “Then how are you ‘handling’ Darco in private?”
Thomas said in a flat tone, “Well, I’ve given favonovel.com ten million dollars. After that, I won’t have anything to do with him.”
Unlike his usual state, Thomas was in a bad mood today. He had lost his decisive and sharp gaze.
Harvard and Emma exchanged glances and felt that something was wrong.
Harvard asked, “Thomas, why are you behaving so weird today?”
Thomas smiled and shook his head, “I’m just a little tired.”
Having said that, favonovel.com put down his cutlery.
After some hesitations, Thomas sighed and said, “Since everyone is present today, I would like to announce one thing. I’m preparing to give up the position of purchasing manager with Stellar Jewelers.”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table was dumbfounded.
‘So many people have been fighting over this position, but Thomas is voluntarily giving this up. Why?!’
