"Lancer, has the invitation for Coliree Group's pre-bid conference been sent out?"

"The invitations haven't been officially sent out, Boss."

"What's with the Lawson Family, then? How come they've already received two invitations?"

To that, Lancer explained, "A few of the big families and conglomerates in Cleapolis are on the insider's list."

"Whose decision is this?"

Hearing the displeasure in Kingsley's tone, Lancer hurriedly explained, "Boss, Hades and I have been busy scouting for the enemies' spies. Daniel Robinson is currently in charge of the company's affairs, and he's the best at trading amongst all the soldiers on Coliree Island. He might not stand out in the military, but he's definitely a force to be reckoned with in the marketplace. The enemies certainly won't be able to see through it!"

"Daniel Robinson?" Kingsley ordered. "Whoever made the decision, withdraw the Lawsons' invitations immediately!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Lancer wouldn't ask questions but only follow orders.

After hanging up, Kingsley checked his watch. "Today's the twenty-third. I want to see you set up a live stream and eat sh*t by the end of this month."

At that, the crowd began whispering again.

"Why does it feel like this dude is out of his mind? Could it be that he has experienced some kind of trauma and has gone nuts?"

"He surely has! If his one call can influence Coliree Group, would he need to drive such a janky car?"

"I bet he has been boasting for so long that he's beginning to believe his own words. Typical delusional behavior!"

Likewise, Peter looked at Kingsley as though he was some madman. "You act well, I'll give you that. If Caleb hadn't wanted to kick your a*s, I'd love to continue watching you act like a mad dog!"

The crowd burst into laughter once again, extolling Peter for calling Kingsley a mad dog.

On a high, Peter wanted to continue his taunts, but his phone suddenly rang at this time.

With that, he answered it. "Hey, Dad. What's up?"

"What's up?! Get the f*ck home now, that's what! We're in big trouble!" A voice thundered the moment Peter finished his words, causing his ears to buzz. "What happened, Dad?" he asked, baffled.

"Coliree Group just withdrew our invitation! We've lost all our chances!" The head of the Lawson Family roared so loudly that everyone close by heard him.

The news left Peter dumbfounded, and so did everyone else.

The Lawsons' invitations have really been withdrawn!

Peter's face blanched instantly, and his hand holding the phone began shaking uncontrollably as well. "Dad, I-I don't know anything about this… Did Coliree Group say why?"

Meanwhile, he looked toward Kingsley in horror, and he thought his heart would jump out of his chest at any second.

Could it really be… because of that phone call?!

Shock and awe enveloped everyone's gazes as their jaws dropped, looking like imbeciles.

None of them believed a penniless young man such as Kingsley could actually shake up Coliree Group's decision.

It was Coliree Group, for heaven's sake!

This company was considered the prime existence in the six provinces of the north!

Just then, Peter's father spoke. "They didn't say why, but if I were to guess, it might have something to do with our company's drop in sales! Stop fooling around with your scoundrel friends and come back home at once!"
