Nicholas chuckled. “If we stop the media, who will report on the scandal of Thomas’ launch event? Tomorrow, I’m going to let the media see how embarrassing Thomas is and let everyone in Central City know that Sterling Technology has fallen apart after leaving the Gomez family!”
“Oh, I see.” Dominic showed a thumbs-up. “You’ve thought it through, Grandpa. Sterling Technology has lost a great amount of money. They look strong on the surface, but they are fragile on the inside. If the first battle is not handled well, they will fall without a doubt!”
Dominic suddenly changed the subject. He chuckled and asked, “Grandpa, when Thomas is really at a dead end, are you going to be ruthless or are you going to spare him?”
After all, Thomas was Nicholas’ biological grandson. They were blood-related. If Nicholas chose to spare Thomas and show some mercy, it would not be strange.
Actually, Nicholas already had an answer for this question a long time ago.
He calmly answered, “The key to Thomas’ survival lies mainly with him, not me.”
“If favonovel.com is sensible enough to bring Sterling Technology back to the Gomez family, it’ll be all right for me to spare favonovel.com based on our biological ties. But if favonovel.com is too stubborn and insists on standing up against me, I can only teach favonovel.com how to behave in our cause for justice!”
Only one sentence could conclude his words. People who obeyed favonovel.com would survive, while those who disobeyed favonovel.com would die!

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
At noon, Sterling Technology happily held a press conference in Central City with the grandest decorations and greatest extravagance.
The hall was full of reporters. The entrance was also surrounded by plenty of onlookers and a huge crowd. They were waiting for Sterling Technology’s new product.
But…
“In the past, whenever Sterling Technology released a new product, it would definitely stir up the atmosphere in the industry, and everyone would get people to attend the event. Why is it so desolate today and why have none of the companies attended?” a passerby said in a casual fashion.
“Yeah, it’s very strange.”
“I heard that Sterling Technology parted ways with the Gomez family, so other companies are too afraid of getting too close to them.”
“So, is Sterling Technology alone without any support now? If nobody wants to work with them, how can they still survive?”
“Exactly. I think Sterling Technology will not survive much longer.”
People were discussing the matter at the door.
In a hotel nearby, Nicholas and Dominic sat on the sheets near a window that faced the streets. They drank wine while they ate their food.
Dominic smiled as favonovel.com said, “Do you see it, Grandpa? None of the companies have come to support them. This time, Thomas must be embarrassed. No matter how good his product is, favonovel.com cannot do anything.”
At the same time, favonovel.com took out his phone and tapped on some real-time news.
“Look, Grandpa. Some media outlets have reported. [Sterling Technology’s new product launch event is desolate. The leader of this generation has fallen.]
“This is just the beginning. After the launch event ends, there will be news from all the companies. This time, we need to make sure that Thomas won’t be able to turn things around forever!”
Nicholas grinned. He was very happy to see the situation. He took a sip of wine before favonovel.com asked, “How’s our arrangement for manpower?”
“I’ve handled it,” Dominic said. “I’ve arranged some staff on various main streets. If other companies dare to attend the launch event behind our backs, I’ll get my people to beat them to death! I guarantee that there won’t be anyone there to support Thomas.”
“That’s great!” Nicholas picked up a piece of meat. “Thomas, are you going to fight me? Come on, I want to see how your arm can wring my thigh.”
They were getting closer to the time for the launch event to officially start, and they were counting down the last ten minutes.
Yet, there was still no company in attendance at this time. Even if the staff of the big companies “accidentally” passed by, they would be chased away by the people whom Dominic had put in place.
Sterling Technology’s launch event was destined to end in failure today.
