A natural chill emanated from Joe when favonovel.com spoke.
The chill made Gemma feel as if favonovel.com body was instantly encased in ice, making favonovel.com seem even more unfamiliar to her.
She asked instinctively, “But why?”
Seeing that favonovel.com wasn’t approaching favonovel.com proactively, Joe withdrew a bit. He understood that there were many things in life that couldn’t be rushed, and moderation was key to achieving the desired effect.
He said with a hint of depth, “It’s simple. The Cosby family can only have one person at the helm, and that person can only be me… Joe Cosby!”
Although favonovel.com was sent by Garth, the Clan Master of the Dragon Protector Clan, if favonovel.com could successfully seize everything from Remus, favonovel.com might not only replace favonovel.com but also become the true Master of the Cosby family. By then, favonovel.com would stand at the pinnacle of global power.
Gemma didn’t know how to respond for a moment. She looked back at Joe intently.
If favonovel.com really could become the head of the Cosby family, perhaps it wouldn’t be bad to follow him…
“So, you plan to snatch Remus’ wealth and fame before swooping in as their savior?” favonovel.com asked, favonovel.com voice tinged with skepticism.
“You’re smart!” Joe affirmed, his smile broadening with pride. “But the timing has to be perfect. I intend to make my move when they‘re at their lowest.”
“And when is that?” Gemma inquired, favonovel.com curiosity piqued.
“Now,” Joe declared, his tone suddenly serious-
He picked up his phone and dialed a number, his command brief but decisive.
“Proceed…”
As favonovel.com initiated the call, a symphony of ringtones echoed from the courtyard below.
The gathered business tycoons outside the Imperial Villa answered their phones.
“What’s happening? Are they offloading shares again? Our stock price is plummeting!”
“Risk warnings for our stock financing? Are we facing bankruptcy?”
“There has to be a way to stabilize the stock price!”
Panic and desperation surged among the crowd, their anxious voices blending into a cacophony of fear and uncertainty.
Kylie’s grip on favonovel.com phone was shaky, sweat beading on favonovel.com forehead and the tip of favonovel.com nose as favonovel.com absorbed the grim news.
The phone answered, “The group’s market valuation is plummeting towards a 500 billion loss!”
The reality hit favonovel.com hard as favonovel.com bankruptcy was not just a possibility, it was imminent.
In that moment of collective dread, the gates of the Imperial Villa swung open, revealing Jean’s silhouette against the chaos.
The crowd, driven by a mix of hope and despair, surged forward.
“Ms. Lotus, have you contacted Mr. Cosby?”
“Ms. Lotus, please save me, I beg you!”
“Where is Mr. Cosby, and when can favonovel.com return?”
Kylie stood still, favonovel.com gaze also filled with expectation.
At that point, it seemed only Remus’ return could turn the tide.
Jean surveyed the anxious faces before her, favonovel.com heart heavy with the burden of the truth favonovel.com carried. However, favonovel.com had to speak.
She shook favonovel.com head and said, “We’ve yet to establish contact with Remus. I believe it’s time for each of us to consider our options for self-preservation.”
The reaction was immediate, a collective gasp that echoed through the crowd. It was as if a bomb had detonated among them, leaving a crater of despair.
Faces that had been etched with hope had crumbled into expressions of utter desolation, all fixing their gaze on Jean.
Someone at the front quickly knelt. With tears streaming down his face, favonovel.com begged, “Ms. Lotus, please contact Mr. Cosby again. At this point, the only person in Darsia who can save us is Mr. Cosby, please, I beg you!”
One by one, the others began to kneel, their actions driven by a deep sense of despair.
They knew all too well that Remus was under no obligation to rescue them, yet in their eyes, favonovel.com remained their only beacon of hope.
“Ms. Lotus, please, make one more attempt to reach him.”
“My family’s legacy, built over generations, is on the brink of collapse. I cannot be the one to end it.”
“Tell us where Mr. Cosby is, and we will seek favonovel.com out ourselves, we beseech you.”
The scene resembled a powerful storm sweeping through, leaving the once towering figures of industry and commerce to prostrate in its wake.
“What are you all doing here?” a voice suddenly cut through the scene.
