Chapter 435

“Sebastian’s reputation has been completely ruined!”

“The Morris Group? Is that a new corporation?” Scott Yates asked.

Sebastian nodded. “Yes, sir. The Morris Group appeared only recently. They appear to be run by the Rogers family. The collapse of the three main pillars of North Hampton have a lot to do with the Morris Group.”

Scott Yates stayed silent at that.

His godson, Fernand Yates, piped up, “Yes, I’ve taken notice of that as well. The reason that this Morris Group managed to gain so much power in such a short time is due to someone extremely powerful working behind the scenes. Furthermore, it’s next to impossible to find any information about their mysterious boss or Neil Atkinson.”

Fernand also held a lot of power. Despite Scott Yates lived in seclusion away in the mountains for the last thirty years, the family business had continued under Fernand’s management. However, he had chosen to stay subtle about it and only worked in the background.

Anyone in South City knew that Scott Yates was number one when it came to accumulated wealth.

“How dare they act like this in North Hampton? There must be a powerful figure behind the scenes.” Scott Yate’s expression changed abruptly. “Investigate! No matter who that person is, I will chase him out of Quebec regardless.”

“Understood. I’ll begin investigations right away,” Fernand replied.

The citizens of South City let out a sigh of relief.

With Scott Yates helping them out, the Morris Group would definitely be done for.

They could finally gobble up North Hampton with ease.

Every time anyone tried to take over North Hampton’s businesses, they either got held back by the law or got targeted by the Morris Group and the Rogers family.

The people of South City had been holding back their frustrations for a long time. The Suarez family and the Lopez family were especially bothered by that.

Despite that, all of them were more than aware of the fact that the Morris Group would be done for the moment ‘Sir’ left the mountain.

It didn’t matter how strong and powerful the Morris Group was.

It didn’t matter what their reputation was in South City.

In Quebec, Scott Yates’ word was the law.

Even a dragon would find it hard to control a snake in its old haunt.

North Hampton wasn’t as closely updated, so they had no clue of the imminent danger.

Zachary had caught wind of Scott Yates’ return.

He couldn’t be more ecstatic at the news.

“The end of the Morris Group is near! We should quickly wrap up our deal with the Oriental Star Group.”

The Oriental Star Group was an essential component of the Suarez family’s battle plan.

The entertainment department of the Oriental Star Group was something the Suarez family urgently needed.

“Mr. Suarez, the Oriental Star Group has recently been shooting seven blockbuster online-only movies. This was all produced by Zoey Lopez. Around fifty million was invested into each production. They’ll probably increase as time goes by. The final cost has to be around five hundred million at least!” Will Brown reported.

“Hmph! Zoey Lopez, I bet you were trying to make a real profit, weren’t you? Well, not a chance!” Zachary murmured as he chuckled darkly.

Zoey Lopez was definitely eager to make some achievements.

The property arm had already been established.

Naturally, she had to pay more attention to the entertainment segment.

Today, Zoey decided to visit the set personally.

This set belonged to the movie that they had invested the highest amount of money in, which was around seventy million.

They didn’t spend that much money on special effects or the plot. Most of the money had been invested into casting the male and female leads, who were both top-notch actors in the industry.

Casting the both of them would cost around fifty million at the very least.

The actual cost of the production itself was only about twenty million.

However, she believed that the movie would become a hit and generate a sizeable return given the actors’ fame.

The crew was currently preparing for filming while the actors were going through their lines.

Niall, the male lead, spotted Zoey once he lifted his head.

“Who is that?” he asked his assistant.

“This is the new boss of the Oriental Star Group, Zoey Lopez.”

Niall’s eyes lit up as he smiled. “I have to get to know her well then.”
