Lord Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Spending Money Like It Is Nothing

“Bastard!”

Leonardo was enraged. He kicked the coffee table in front of him, fl*pping it over.

It was made from marble. His kick had smashed it to pieces.

If anyone else saw this, they would definitely be shocked!

People would take a glance at Leonardo and think that he was gentle. In reality, he was a legendary fighter!

People only knew about The Reaper’s ability. However, Leonardo’s skills were far above The Reaper’s.

In recent years, however, he never had to show himself.

Seeing Leonardo so worked up made The Reaper feel that Caspian was someone truly horrible.

His request was totally unreasonable!

“Gather the best fighters of the Two Lakes area. I’m not only seizing the York family’s estates, I’m going for Southlake Corporation as well!” Leonardo proclaimed angrily.

He had always been the one to trample over others. Nob*dy had dared to go against him before. Caspian was the first one to do so!

“Sir Leon, Caspian’s not easy to deal with. It’d be better if we took the time to come up with a detailed plan,” The Reaper suggested. suggested.

“What do you mean? You really want me to go over there and apologize to him?” Leonardo said through gritted teeth.

There was no way he was going to apologize!

“Sir Leon, please don’t be angry. That’s not what I meant. We need not use violence with Caspian. We can totally use other ways to defeat him,” The Reaper quickly added.

“What do you have in mind?” Leonardo asked.

“Southlake Corporation had acquired the York Group. Now, they suddenly have this competitor called Glorious Group. As long as we think of a way to destroy Southlake Corporation, won’t we get what we wanted?”

Leonardo gave it a thought. He then smiled, “Very good. That’s a good idea. Tell everyone in the Two Lakes area that whoever dares to cooperate with Southlake Corporation is going against me!”

“Yes, sir!”

Then, The Reaper retreated.

A piece of fearsome news soon started to spread like wildfire.

Leonardo Xanthos, the supreme leader of the Two Lakes area, had spoken. He would end Southlake Corporation and the York Group.

Upon hearing the news, Geoffrey became really anxious.

Soon, all of the other companies were racing to end their cooperation with them.

There was nothing he could do. His only option was to approach Willow to discuss the issue. But she could not even save Southlake Corporation, so how was she supposed to handle the matters of York Group?

Their situation was even worse than York Group’s.

She could not afford to mind about other matters.

Right when Geoffrey was about to leave, Caspian entered his office.

“My wife sent me here to let you know that Southlake Corporation is prepared to acquire all of the companies that terminated their contracts. This matter requires York Group to be the one to come forward and acquire the companies, no matter their sizes.”

In reality, this was entirely Caspian’s idea. He had a solution in mind.

Geoffrey was utterly shocked. What kind of method was this?

Southlake Corporation could not even save itself. Now, he was saying they would acquire all of the companies that wanted out. Was he pulling his leg?

“Mr. Lynch, I’m afraid Ms. Stewart is still unclear about the situation. Both Southlake

Corporation and York Group are facing a great obstacle.

“Overcoming this issue would already be an impossible feat…”

Geoffrey had heard about the recent crises faced by Southlake Corporation.

Caspian stared at Geoffrey and asked, “If I were to give you 20 billion dollars now, Could you acquire all of those companies within a day?”

“20 billion dollars!”

“What?”

+15 BONUS

Geoffrey was stunned. He could not comprehend what was happening.

Was Caspian playing a joke on him?

20 billion dollars! Geoffrey was dumbfounded. He was not sure if Caspian was joking with him.

However, he dared not doubt Casplan’s words.

Looking at Geoffrey’s expression, Caspian continued asking, “Is 20 billion dollars not enough? How about 50 billion dollars?”

“No, no, no. It’s enough!” Geoffrey cried out.

20 billion dollars to acquire those companies? It was more than enough!

Caspian mentioned such a huge amount so effortlessly. It felt like he was bluffing!

“Very well, then. I’ll have my people send the money!” Caspian said.

He sent Sylvia a text message.

Two minutes later, the finance manager ran toward them.

“General manager! Something weird just happened!” he shouted.

“What is it? Please speak slowly.” Geoffrey frowned.

“Someone must have transferred it by mistake. Our company’s account suddenly had an additional 20 billion dollars!” The finance manager scrambled for words.

The figures on the account shocked him greatly. He thought there must have been a technical error in the company’s financial system.

He had to triple–check to confirm that this was real, that there was an additional 20 billion dollars in the company’s account.

Afterward, he had rushed over to Geoffrey.

20 billion dollars was not a small amount.

Geoffrey was truly stunned.

He did not expect to have the 20 billion dollars deposited into their account within such a

short time.

Everyone looked at Caspian, dazed.

“What are you staring at me for? Take the money and get to work. Whether Southlake Corporation can come back to life depends on you guys now.

“Oh, but please don’t let Willow know that I’m the one who gave you this money. I wanted to let Glorious Group see how strong my capital is!” Caspian said nonchalantly.

+15 BONUS

This meant that the 20 billion dollars must be his.

Geoffrey suddenly felt intimidated by Caspian. He must have gotten a powerful backing!

Hence, when the York family sought trouble with Caspian the last time, they were simply asking for death!

Caspian’s calm expression made Geoffrey anxious. It was as if this 20 billion dollars was something trivial to Caspian!

Geoffrey had thought that the York family was powerful. Then, he changed his mind and thought the York family from Dhord City was more powerful.

But now, they all looked tiny compared to Caspian!

“Got it, Mr. Lynch! I will make sure to get the work done!”

Geoffrey took a deep breath. This was his chance to prove himself.

Caspian then left York Group.

He did this because he did not want Willow to discover his identity.

Half an hour later, there was yet another breaking news. This news caused quite a stir in Southlake City’s business world.

This news was none other than the acquisition of all the companies that had terminated their contracts with Southlake Corporation. It was said that Southlake Corporation had entrusted York Group with the acquisition.

The companies were all acquired, no matter how big or small!

This was like a big joke to everyone in the business world.

Southlake Corporation was already at its end. Where could they have gotten the money to acquire other companies?

As for York Group, without the York family’s support, they were supposed to be an empty shell.

Just as everyone was waiting to hear the joke, York Group had begun their move.

Huge amounts of m were spent just like that.

The 20 billion dollars from Caspian was enough to acquire these companies more than once!

While doing all this, the York Group’s market value increased by two or even threefold! All of the shareholders had their hands raised in support!

It only took half a day for York Group to acquire those companies on behalf of Southlake

+15 BONUS

When Geoffrey brought a stack of the acquisition contracts to Willow’s office, she was completely dumbfounded.

When she heard about the acquisition from Geoffrey, she thought he was joking.

However, when she saw the acquisition contracts, she could no longer doubt it.

“How How did this happen? How did York Group have this much funds to acquire these companies on behalf of Southlake Corporation!” Willow asked as she fl*pped through the agreements. She could not believe it.
