Chapter 833: Chapter 833: Spider-Man
Gonzalez City, Twin Star Towers.
As a landmark architectural complex of the city, Twin Star Towers housed the majority of financial elites in Gonzalez City.
The two skyscrapers towered into the clouds, enhancing each other’s brilliance.
Just like twin stars.
At that moment,
Quella Radcliffe was in a meeting room on the 33rd floor of Building A in the Twin Star Towers, talking to a bespectacled, overweight man sitting across from her.
"Mr. Stone, this is my proposal. You could share your ideas, and I’ll note them down,"
she took out her notebook, ready to record the opposing views.
Slade Stone was the chairman of Everyday Fresh Seafood Group in Gonzalez City and somewhat famous in the country.
Gonzalez City was a coastal city, and seafood was a significant feature.
Thus, Itai Huntington utilized his connections to contact Slade Stone.
He aimed to promote the first external collaboration of the business alliance.
If they could strike a deal with Everyday Fresh, the influence of the business alliance would greatly increase.
"Miss Radcliffe."
Slade Stone propped up his legs, twirling a pen in his hand, "This matter, I need to consider it a bit. After all, I’m not very familiar with your so-called business alliance..."
"Then let me..."
"Here’s what,"
Slade Stone interrupted Quella Radcliffe, glanced at his watch and smiled, "Let’s continue this afternoon."
"Alright."
Quella Radcliffe sighed helplessly, packed up her things, and left.
As expected, it wasn’t that smooth.
After she left, Slade Stone took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, and walked to the window.
Scrolling through the news.
Through the massive glass, he could clearly see the body of Building B opposite.
"Now, all kinds of enterprises want to collaborate with me."
Slade Stone scoffed, browsing through news on his phone.
Everyday Fresh had significant influence in the domestic seafood market, with countless companies seeking cooperation every day.
For entities like the Gonzalez City business alliance, although passable, Slade Stone planned to continue suppressing costs.
Across from him,
in the Twin Stars Towers Building B,
37th floor,
Gonzalez Group was having a high-level meeting.
"Mr. Leocadia, our financial report last quarter shows a downturn in the group’s revenue. Now the Carmichael family and the Leocadia family are both eagerly courting us, presenting an opportunity."
"Excellent! With the four major families contending, we can benefit as the bystander. This is an opportunity for the group’s development!"
"But between the Carmichael family and the Leocadia family, which should we choose? A wrong choice could be disastrous for the group."
Everyone argued and shared their ideas one after another.
In these days, Gonzalez City was amidst turbulence; the four major families were in constant dispute!
All the powers began to enter the fray, preparing to take sides.
The Leocadia Family, being a major family, definitely needed to make a stance.
Staying neutral was almost impossible.
Today’s meeting theme was which family to support.
"Recently my grandson, Jasmine Leocadia, has made contact with the son of Oberon Enterprise’s president. This way, our inevitable connection with the Carmichael family..."
Delilah Leocadia said this, her fingers gently tapping on the table.
"If that’s the case, this could also serve as an official offer to the Leocadia family."
Someone spoke out.
"Once we choose to side with the Leocadia family, the Carmichael family will inevitably take action against us. When that happens, a business battle will be unavoidable; we might as well seize the initiative!"
"Mr. Leocadia, your feat is monumental this time!"
They were well aware that Oberon Enterprise was a behemoth in the overseas electronics technology sector.
And the core industry of the Carmichael family was electronics technology.
"Indeed!"
Speaking of his grandson, Delilah Leocadia’s eyes gleamed with pride, "Jasmine is very capable, I’m very confident about handing over the business to him in the future."
While Delilah Leocadia was in the meeting,
a silhouette, from the top of the Twin Stars Towers Building B,
rushed downwards!
In Building A, Slade Stone rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things!
But the next moment, he grabbed his phone, ready to call the authorities!
Someone falling from the rooftop was bound to be life-ending!
Who could be so desperate to leap off the Twin Star Towers?
Recently, the stock market hadn’t even crashed!
As the silhouette fell towards the 37th floor, it suddenly stopped.
In hand, a barely visible thin rope.
"I must admit, I plan to stand with the Leocadia family."
Delilah Leocadia frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "As everyone knows, the Koller Family has already..."
Crack!
Just then!
The glass behind him shattered!
Immediately following!
A figure flashed by!
Before the people in the boardroom could react.
Delilah Leocadia was pulled out of the window by the dark figure, hanging in mid-air!
Then!
He plummeted rapidly!
"Chairman!"
People in the boardroom came to their senses and hurried to the window.
But below was the height of 37 floors!
Outside, just the sound of the wind was terrifying enough!
"Help!"
Seeing the hundreds of meters below, Delilah Leocadia’s heart thumped violently, almost passing out.
Now he was completely weak, his body tensed to the extreme!
The rows of cars below looked like tiny black dots.
Thirty-seven floors!
If he fell, he would be smashed to pieces!
"Delilah Leocadia."
Julius Reed was holding a thin line in one hand and pulling Delilah Leocadia with the other.
Just like that, hanging in mid-air.
"I beg you, let me go! I’ll give you money, as much as you want!"
Delilah Leocadia’s eyes were tightly shut, and he dared not look down any further.
But the sound of the wind beside his ear constantly reminded him.
He was high up in the air!
"I hear you have a grandson named Jasmine Leocadia?"
Julius Reed asked aloud.
"Yes!"
After Delilah Leocadia spoke, he suddenly opened his eyes, his face pale as he shouted, "Did he offend you?"
"Your grandson kidnapped an old man."
Julius Reed slightly loosened his left hand!
Swoosh!
The two plummeted rapidly!
"No... I don’t want to die!"
After falling for ten meters, they stopped again.
Delilah Leocadia trembled all over, his limbs starting to cramp.
"If that old man suffers any misfortune, you will be buried with him."
Julius Reed said coldly.
"I... I’ll contact him..." Delilah Leocadia trembled as he shouted, "I will ask him to release the man! Please, don’t kill me..."
"Tell him to send the person to the alley on Satellite Road. If I don’t see him in 20 minutes, you can tell him to come and collect your body."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Delilah Leocadia trembled as he took out his cellphone from his pocket, almost dropping it due to his severe trembling.
"On the roof, there are my people."
Julius Reed flipped over, wrapping the rope around Delilah Leocadia, "If I don’t see the person in twenty minutes, the rope will be cut!"
Having said that, he leapt into the air!
His two feet hit the glass walls, running wildly!
Gradually...
He disappeared from Delilah Leocadia’s sight.
"Uh..."
Delilah Leocadia shuddered, almost fainting.
"Twenty minutes... twenty minutes..."
He used all his strength to dial his grandson’s number.
And across from Delilah Leocadia.
The Twin Star Building!
Block A.
Slade Stone sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Is... is this Spider-Man?"
He swallowed hard, almost crawling into a chair, trembling as he poured himself a cup of tea.
