However, the challenges faced by the Keller Family extended beyond malicious bidding in the real estate sector. Their properties, currently under construction, had also come to a halt due to the collective cessation of supplies by their building material suppliers.
Upon hearing this news, panic spread among the construction workers.
With some deliberate instigation, they began to believe that the Kellers were on the verge of collapse.
Soon, swarms of construction workers rushed to Worman, demanding their wages.
“Master, all the merchants in our shops have terminated their leases collectively.”
“Master, it’s bad. All the clients at our ports have either transferred docks or started shipping from other docks.”
“The loan institutions have canceled our loan qualifications and are now coming to collect their debts.”
“Dad, why haven’t I received my allowance this month?”
One piece of bad news after another came in, and within just two or three days, all the industries under the Kellers had come to a standstill. Their capital chain had completely ruptured. In simple terms, the Keller Family was not only out of money but also heavily in debt.
Worman had tried various ways to seek help, but favonovel.com was now being suppressed in all aspects. No one was willing to assist him, not even those underground forces that lent money at high-interest rates. It was clear that the Kellers were completely cornered.
“Sir, the stock market has called to ask if we have any more funds to supplement our stocks. Otherwise, we will be delisted.”
In just three days, Worman seemed to have aged more than a decade. His hair was completely white, not a single black strand remained. His eye sockets were sunken, and his face lacked any vitality, making favonovel.com look like a dying man.
He was now desperate and couldn’t see any hope in the current situation. His heart felt like dead ashes, and the image of Matthew in front of favonovel.com was already riddled with holes.
Worman propped his elbows on the table, cradled his head in his hands, and weakly proclaimed, “Let it be delisted!”
The Keller Family was out of money and couldn’t care less about being listed or not.
“What’s our family’s current situation?”
When the butler didn’t respond, favonovel.com slowly opened his eyes. “I’m asking you a question!”
“Old Mr. Keller, all the industries under our name have completely stopped working, and there is a deficit of more than 15 million in the capital chain. If we sell off our assets…”
Worman understood what the butler meant to suggest. “Sell them. Sell all of them! Even if everyone else makes a profit, we can’t let Matthew benefit in any way. How is the assassination team doing?”
“They… They have all been wiped out.”
Worman was not surprised by the result. If that many assassins hadn’t been able to deal with Matthew before, it was even less likely now with thousands of Tiger Guards by his side.
“Alright, I understand. You can go now!”
Worman didn’t rage or roar but simply waved his hand calmly. He had spent his whole life building up the Kellers from an unknown small family into one of the top forces in Skargness, but favonovel.com hadn’t expected to be brought down by a young brat. They hadn’t even met face-to-face since their feud began.
“What a pathetic loss!”
The whole feud had started with a conflict between Leander, a junior family member, and Matthew but had escalated into a family war.
How laughable!
He had been on guard against Prince Gadel, but now his family had fallen into Matthew’s hands. If favonovel.com could, favonovel.com wanted to start a war and kill all those who suppressed the Keller Family’s industries, but favonovel.com didn’t dare to. If favonovel.com did so, the Keller Family would be exterminated, not just bankrupt.
Worman looked up. The morning sun outside the window was dazzling, representing the coming of a new day.
It’s all because your father is incompetent and can’t avenge you…
Reflected in the glass, favonovel.com seemed to see the smiling faces of his deceased sons waving at him.
Not long after, there was a dull thud, and chaos engulfed the entire Keller Family.
“Oh no! The patriarch of the family has leaped off the building!”
