The city was full of volatility.
On this night, Phoenicia was very lively.
There were twice as many people on the streets than usual.
The underground chamber of commerce was taking place ahead of schedule tonight at an ancient building in Phoenicia.
It was a theater lobby.
It was an ancient theater that had been handed down ages ago. The place had carved beams, red tiles, and lamps hanging everywhere—making it seem extremely lively.
At this time, the ancient theater building was heavily guarded both inside and outside. An endless stream of various luxury cars drove in from the gates of the building and stopped on the red carpet in front of the main entrance of the theater.
From inside the cars, glamorously dressed prominent figures walked down one after another, accompanied by their female companions. They entered the venue one by one!
To the outside world, these people were infamous leaders in their respective areas!
Big bosses in their own rights!
Tonight, they were gathered just for the underground chamber of commerce.
This particular session was different from the past with a special auditorium set up.
Therefore, a long line of guests waiting to enter the venue could be seen at the gates of the ancient theatre building.
They consisted of tourists here for holidays. Many of them were children of small power families here for the excitement with their female companions.
“Hey, I heard that for this session of the underground chamber of commerce, many leaders from other regions are in attendance, even the Hane family of Capital City.”
“But of course. This is the first time I’m attending this kind of underground chamber of commerce. Nothing will happen, right?”
“Just talk less and watch with your eyes. In this era, we won’t be seeing any brawls. This is a serious conference.”
Many people were chatting non-stop outside the ancient theatre building at this moment.
Among them, some people mentioned the big event that happened the day before yesterday.
“I heard that Master Cecil Dane of the South River District has been offed by someone?”
“You just heard about it? This incident has already caused a lot of commotion. It was done by Mr. Clarke of Riverdale! It was amazing! All his people and even his lair have been taken out!”
“Who is this Mr. Clarke of Riverdale? I’ve never heard of him. I’ve only heard of Theo Zander.”
“Idiot! Theo Zander is only fit to carry an umbrella for that Mr. Clarke!”
As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone took a breath of cold air.
Too awesome!
Even someone like Theo Zander would carry an umbrella for Mr. Clarke!
“Haha, how awesome is that? You haven’t heard the latest news yet. I heard that Mr. Clarke and Theo were met with an assassination attempt.”
“F*ck! Are you for real? Aren’t those people courting death? I heard that Bowen Roy has been subjugated by Mr. Clarke. Someone still dares to make a move against him?”
“Hehe, you don’t believe it? My eldest brother works for Ken Cooke. He personally told me that the news has spread internally. Otherwise, how could this underground chamber of commerce be held in advance? Everyone can’t wait to get a piece of Riverdale,” said a man in the crowd. He was a handsome man dressed in avant-garde clothes. He had his arms around a girl with a nose ring who was chewing gum.
For a while, opinions were divergent.
Back to the ancient theater building.
At the moment, the main hall was already filled with many big bosses from different areas.
The theater building was a circular structure with a stage in the middle. Eight chairs were arranged on two sides of the stage. These were the seats of the 16 leaders participating in the underground chamber of commerce this time.
Behind the stage, the highest position was the main chair made of pure gold with carved dragons and phoenixes!
That seat would belong to the ultimate winner of this underground chamber of commerce!
This person would represent the South River District, Riverdale, Golden City, and several other regions—the recognized leader among them!
It could be said that back then, Bowen Roy occupied that leading chair!
It was also what many were aiming to fight for tonight—the main chair, the first person!
Whoever sat there would have absolute right to speak up for the entire south region!
Tonight, only three candidates vied for this seat.
Ken Cook of South River District’s Ceylon Society.
Gibson Heart of Golden City’s Fiery Koi Gang.
Shawn Hane of Capital City’s Hane family.
Among them, the biggest winner would inevitably be the elusive Shawn Hane of Capital City.
After all, the Hane family had great power and influence!
However, Ken and Gibson would not give up so easily.
It was to the extent that many dens had already started betting on who would take the top spot tonight!
The transaction amount had reached tens of millions!
The biggest odds was on none other than Mr. Clarke of Riverdale.
However, everyone knew that Mr. Clarke and Theo Zander could no longer participate in this underground chamber of commerce.
However, the bets were still on.
There were more than 30 bets placed.
In other words, people who bet on Mr. Clarke for the win might earn billions!
That was, if only a miracle happened.
