Mg, standing behind Finn Lewis, was completely stunned. He had never imagined that Finn Lewis would be a rich man, and not just rich, but extraordinarily wealthy! Buying this building as if he was buying cabbages! And more decisively than buying cabbages! Mg was swearing in his heart, completely at a loss for how to express his feelings.
Mg was now roughly guessing what Finn Lewis was up to; the man was going against all odds! Howard Lee, standing behind Finn Lewis, also looked stunned. While he knew that Mr. Finn was very impressive – having heard about it from the Prince and his gang, he hadn’t thought the man would be this impressive; he bought a 3 billion worth building like it was no big deal, even easier than buying cabbages.
“Mr. Lewis, if you’re not too busy, could I invite you for a meal?” Penny King said with a smile, even though he was not sure what Finn Lewis was up to by buying the building, but he frankly didn’t care – as long as he pocketed the money.
“Another day, I’ll treat you, Chairman King, but I have a matter to deal with right now. Could you help by coming along?” Finn Lewis began to speak.
“Oh?” Penny King looked at Finn Lewis with some suspicion, wondering what he was up to. However, he naturally agreed, “Of course, of course, anything that Mr. Lewis needs help with, I would be obliged to assist.”
Finn Lewis immediately turned around and headed back into the ac alliance, as he approached the conference room, Luna, the girl who had been guarding the room, looked stunned. Seeing Finn Lewis coming back, she hurriedly stood up to stop him, but Finn Lewis moved faster and arrived at the conference room door, wasting no time in raising his leg to kick it open.
With a “bang”, echoing the scene from before, Finn Lewis kicked the conference room door wide open! All the occupants inside the room were startled again. As they turned their gaze, they all saw Finn Lewis, who had kicked the door open to get in.
The man leading the meeting jumped up from his seat in rage, just as he was preparing to open his mouth, Finn Lewis interrupted him, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am officially notifying you all, that the ac alliance, needs to move out of this building today, do you understand? Now, immediately, right away! You get the hell out!”
Finn Lewis words stunned everyone. Penny King, standing behind Finn Lewis, was a little confused. Mg and Howard Lee just stared, completely dumbfounded by the sight. Hearing Finn Lewis’ words, didn’t they understand what he was going to do?
F*ck! Mg exploded with numerous curses in his heart! How could you be so f*cking ballsy? How could you be so f*cking wasteful? Sh*t, you bought a whole building just to kick them out? Sh*t, you’re doing all this because they asked you to leave earlier?
“On what f*cking grounds are you asking us to move?” The man leading the meeting snapped back after a moment of stunned silence.
“Because I just bought this place! Understand? I bought this whole building, this is my territory now. If I say you bunch need to f*ck off, then you f*ck off, understand? If you still don’t get it, perhaps you recognize the man behind me? Penny King, the chairman of the Silver Sea Group, the previous owner of this building, you can confirm with him.” Finn Lewis said with a cold smile, pointing to Penny King behind him.
“Well, it’s true. Mr. Lewis has just purchased this building for 3 billion Flame
Nation coins from our company. Now Mr. Lewis is the owner of this building.” To be honest, Penny King was somewhat taken aback too. He now finally understood why Finn Lewis wanted to buy this building. But was it really necessary? Damn! What kind of behavior was this?!
So, because of a disagreement, you buy the entire building just to throw them out? And most importantly, pay a full 600 million Flame Nation coins more than the asking price! 600 million! This is not 60 thousand or 600, this is a full 600 million! How wasteful can you get! Penny King was at a complete loss for words. A thought suddenly hit him, god damn it, I hate rich people!
Yes, Penny King may not have been the only owner of the company, but he was still worth billions. But such a person that could drop 600 million just to get rid of a disagreement, simply to make the other party move. How insignificant his excitement over making an extra profit of 600 million this year now felt.
Penny King’s words left everyone in the conference room dumbfounded. They might pose as the joint directors of the ac alliance, but what were they really? In the entire ac alliance, aside from Principal King, none of them were wealthy. Their total net worth was less than ten million. A billion was a distant figure for them, let alone 3 billion!
The man who was about to curse was silenced, his face reddening. The scene before him showed him the significant gap between Finn Lewis and himself. If a brawl were to break out, he would undoubtedly be the unlucky one, not Finn Lewis.
“So what if you bought this building? We’ve signed a lease agreement,” the man grumbled after a long silence.
Without hesitation, Finn Lewis pulled a checkbook from his pocket, then turned to Penny King and asked, “What’s the penalty for breaking a lease agreement?”
“Err, I’m not exactly sure, but it should be about two years’ worth of lease fees, right?” Penny King squeaked. As he said this, he realized that the lease agreement would not stop the other party – money was no object to Finn Lewis, was it?
“Didn’t you say I wasn’t reasonable? Fine, I’ll show you what being unreasonable is,” Finn Lewis scribbled a figure on a check. “I have no idea how much the yearly rent is, but here’s 20 million. That should cover two years’ worth of rent, right? Here’s your penalty; move out by midnight. You think you can still have a meeting sitting here?”
“Not happy with it? You can call security if you like. Let’s see if they dare to throw me out. Oh, and if you don’t move out by midnight, I’ll have someone smash everything. Don’t worry, I’ll pay for all the damages,” Finn Lewis said calmly, his gaze fixed on the man.
The faces in the room ran the gamut of colors, yet not a single person dared to make a sound. These were not people who were unacquainted with the wealthy. Principal King, for one, was rich but never put on airs. Yet Finn Lewis was showing them what it meant to be truly wealthy, holding them in a vice grip of silence.
“Fine, we’ll move. We’ll arrange for a moving company right away. But what will you accomplish through all this? Just because you’re rich, you think you can disregard the rules?” the man blustered, face flushed crimson.
“Money doesn’t exempt one from the rules. But can you honestly say that your rules are fair? If you swear it’s the case, I’ll believe you. But can you speak up? You banned me for a year just because I provided some video data to other commentators and opened up a virtual Wealthy babe store? Do you want me to point out the cooperation between a few of your team members and several
Wealthy babe stores? Trust me, I won’t have any trouble uncovering the truth,” Finn Lewis sneered, challenging him.
“Also, rules? Did you set these rules? Are they even reasonable?” Finn Lewis shot back.
“Regardless, even if you bought this place, so what? Can you buy every office building in Celeston City? We can move out, sure. But the decisions we’ve made, I doubt you have the authority to overturn those,” the man retorted, a smirk on his face.
“Heh. I may not have the authority to overturn your decisions. But I can certainly find someone who does,” a smile played at the corners of Finn Lewis’s mouth as he dialed a number on his phone. “Olivia Thatcher, could you find Mr. M’s number for me?” he asked.
Finn Lewis’s words were like a bombshell, the news making the occupants of the room shift uncomfortably in their seats. They were not ignorant of who M was. T Company had purchased the game alliance’s development company. Did they, as hosts of the domestic professional league, not know who the T Company’s CEO was? Did M have the authority to lift this ban?
There was no need to question that. Not only could he lift the ban, but M could also disband their entire AC Alliance with just a few words! They had the power to be the official tournament’s alliance only because T Company allowed it. Why else would T Company give them such a huge sum of money every year?
Finn Lewis hung up the phone after a brief conversation, leaving the room in absolute silence. Barely 20 seconds later, his phone rang. He chatted for a moment before ending the call and then texted a message.
All eyes were on Finn Lewis’s movements… because they all knew that his phone call could dictate their fate, even though… their relationship with T Company wasn’t directly hierarchical..
