All Her Secrets

Recently, the business world in Loxton has been tumultuous, mysterious, and unpredictable.

The Breens' representative in Eskana, Edson, had joined forces with several major families to besiege the Duncan Corporation, aiming to destroy it completely.

Everyone was speculating on how long the Duncan Corporation could resist in the face of the fierce attack from powerful external capital.

The Breens even arrogantly declared that they would destroy the Duncan Corporation within three days.

The reason they dared to make such bold statements was that they had the capital to back it up. After all, unethical actions like this were not new for the Breens.

As a formidable top-tier capital force, the Breens were infamous overseas, showcasing the sinister nature of capitalists to the fullest.

Unfortunately, even the usually unbeatable Breens seemed to be facing a Waterloo this time. They had been besieging the Duncan Corporation for two days straight, with no successful attacks and a significant capital loss. This turn of events restored confidence in the Duncan Corporation among those who initially doubted it.

Triston was particularly curious about how Branden achieved this. Having known Branden for years, he was well aware of Branden's prowess, but he hadn't expected Branden to be this formidable.

This time, even Aidan couldn't believe it. "Other things might be true, but being short of money is impossible for you, Mr. Duncan. How could you be short of money?"
