Chapter 708: Meetings

On the top floor of Star Group.

Bernard was looking at the report about Theodore Griffith.

“Look at this guy…” Bernard smiled while resting his cheek on his hand.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open as Maya entered the room.

“Why didn’t you knock first?” Bernard raised his eyebrows.

“You were the one who asked me to come in with short notice.” Maya pouted, glaring at Bernard. “So, what did you call me here, Father?”

“Do you know what happened to that guy?”

“Theodore Griffith? Yes, my information network is still not as good as yours, but I still get the gist of what happened.” Maya nodded. “I guess he can play in economics as well. Though, his plan was based on that so-called experiment. If he didn’t have that, his entire plan would collapse. I couldn’t consider this as a business strategy.”

“Though, it’s normal for us to blackmail people if necessary.”

‘You surely don’t want to say that in front of others, Dad.”

“There is only you here.” Bernard chuckled.

“Well, that’s true.” Maya sighed and said, “He should have milked the Safulli Group first by threatening them. Looking at the report, I think he’s giving some portions to other influences, so yeah, he doesn’t get much of it. If it were me, I could easily raise at least a hundred billion from this play alone.

“Though, I think the maximum number he got from here is around 60-70 Billion Zils. It’s good, but not that good.” Maya explained with a calm expression.

“As expected of my daughter, you know this well. Though, I think the Pata Corporation is the one who got it.” Bernard smiled.

“Agata Mota? Did she manage to seduce him?” Maya furrowed her eyebrows.

“No. I don’t think so. I haven’t received any reports regarding their relationship… But at the same time, they might be hiding it because of Theo’s reputation.” Bernard shrugged and put down the report. “Why don’t you just grab him for me? It’s hard to get someone like this.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You know what I’m talking about. I’m searching for your husband! This is not an easy matter for me because you always turn down everyone and make them cry.” Bernard sighed. “Seeing his potential, I can assure you that he will become your greatest strength sooner or later.

“I mean, he can use his clone to manage two companies at once, launching an attack that no one has ever seen before. With your ability in managing businesses, you should have some trusted people to help him, right?

“When that happens, your group can easily surpass this company within ten years. See what I’m talking about?” Bernard smiled.

“Do you want a hole in your head?” Maya squinted her eyes.

“Of course not.”

“I don’t want to share my man with another woman.” Maya harrumphed.

“Your standard is already far too high, dear. And people like this usually already have a woman on their side. Besides, who cares about that… We can suppress the media about your relationship, so polygamy is possible. If not, I don’t think I can see my grandson soon.” Bernard playfully teased her again.

“Why are you talking about this every single time you call me here?”

“Because that’s the biggest issue.” He shrugged. “Doing business is always talking about the future, so although you’re still young, I’m worried about your future.

“Anyway, I will share my information later. You should study about him a bit and if possible…” He smirked. “Snatch him for me.”

“No.” Maya gritted her teeth.

“Fine, fine. I am done teasing you today.” Bernard chuckled. “Anyway, just make sure you tempt him to go here on the next international mission. We can offer him something to make him stay here in the future.”

“And what kind of mission will be able to entice him?”

“I’m sure you already know that.”

“Hmph.” Maya turned around and walked away.

“Don’t forget that the family dinner is the day after tomorrow.” Bernard shouted playfully, “And don’t forget to close the door.”

Maya’s eyebrows twitched and she slammed the door.

…

Meanwhile, out of the people who discussed Theo, there was one of the biggest meetings in Russia.

In the Empress’ palace, the Wind Emperor was sitting face to face with the Empress.

She smiled and said, “Don’t you feel good after knowing that you escaped the previous problem easily?”

The Wind Emperor still had a long face and sighed. “That’s true, but do you think it’s easy for me to accept the loss of two family members? Even if I’m merciless, I still have a heart.”

The Empress chuckled. “Haha, I can’t imagine what I would do if Alea or Ana was the one who did something like that.”

“Hmph. So, why did you call me here? I’m sure you’re not planning to talk about this the entire time, right?”

“I do.” The Empress nodded with a serious expression.

The Wind Emperor’s eyebrows twitched.

“Of course, I’m joking.” The Empress smirked.

“You still haven’t changed.” The Wind Emperor shook his head helplessly. “So, let’s cut to the chase.”

“You, too, haven’t changed. Always want to get it done straight away.” The Empress chuckled. “But fine… I don’t think I have too much time today. I actually want to invite Theodore Griffith to this place.”

“Hmm?” He narrowed his eyes and said, “So, you want me to sign something to make sure I don’t become a threat to his life?”

“Yep. This can become the opportunity for you to meet him face to face.”

“How about them?” The Wind Emperor narrowed his eyes.

“They will turn blind eyes this time.”

“Do you think they will hold their promise? Those corrupt businessmen…” He snorted. “I’m not doing this. I don’t see the merit other than meeting him face to face.”

“Really? Do you think so?” The Empress smirked.

“Hmph. There’s no need to persuade me.” The Wind Emperor turned around and pushed his own wheelchair, returning to the car that had been waiting for him outside the Empress Palace.

Inside the car, he was looking outside the window and saw the Empress’s last smirk when she was seeing him off.

“Tsk. I fell for her trap.” The Wind Emperor clicked his tongue. “Prepare the jet for me.”

The driver frowned and asked, “To where, Sir?”

“Italy, of course. Let’s meet this little bastard instead of inviting him here.”
