The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1427

“I can tell that you've schemed against me.

“Thinking about it, I find this situation rather unbelievable. Not a single wealthy
person in the business circle of Joules Town has ever dared to scheme against
me.

“You were the first one that dared to do so, and you even made me fall for your
scheme.”

Zane came to a huge realization at that moment.

He finally understood just how extraordinary the young man before him was right
now. One could not guess what Sean's true motives were even up till the very
last moment. Initially, everyone else assumed that Sean was doing this for that
piece of land. Otherwise, why would he make a bid worth 5 billion dollars to
purchase that piece of land? After that, everyone assumed that he was doing this
to go against Billion Trees Real Estate.

However, Zane was the only one who understood that Billion Trees Real Estate
was simply one of Sean’s stepping stones.

The downfall of Billion Trees Real Estate was not Sean’s ultimate goal. It was
simply a term in Zane’s promise to Sean.

“Poor Jimmy Lidell. He thought that he lost to you due to a moment of
carelessness.

“The truth is he has lost since the very start. You're simply using the assets of
Billion Trees Real Estate as leverage for your negotiation with me.”

After Zane finished speaking, he held up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

The tea tasted rather bitter despite how expensive the tea leaves were.

He had lived for decades, and he had always thought of himself as an intelligent
man. However, he had been manipulated by a young man in his twenties.
Anyone would feel regret and develop bitter feelings if they were in his shoes
right now!

“Initially, I didn’t want to break them up.

“The downfall of a corporation will bring negative impacts to the business circle.
“However, it's always the best to remove malicious tumors like Billion Trees Real
Estate as early as possible.”

Sean said softly as he raised his teacup.

“You're right. However, I just couldn't find an appropriate reason to do so in the
past.

“Don’t worry. I'll fulfill everything that I've promised you,

“However, I'll only do it given that everything you do is within legal boundaries.
Don't follow in Jimmy's footsteps.

“I don’t want to see the young man that brought evil down turning into evil himself
one day.”

There was a stern gaze in Zane’s eyes as he said this. It seemed like he was not
joking at all. “I know.”

Sean replied intently while nodding lightly.

“I'm curious about something. How did you get to know Mr. Zackman?
“Actually, you don’t need my help since you know Mr. Zackman.

“With a single word from him, Lennon Real Estate will naturally progress
smoothly in Joules Town.”

Zane asked Sean casually after humming deeply for a couple of seconds.

“Mr. Zackman is my friend.

“You're my friend as well.”

Sean reached out his hand and tapped the table as he gave him a simple
answer.

Zane pondered on his words. He then smiled without saying anything else in
return.

Clever people did not have to be too direct when they talked to each other.
Nine a.m.

The news of Billion Trees Real Estate going bankrupt had spread everywhere.
Some people did not believe in the news when it first spread out.

After all, Billion Trees Real Estate was still a superstar enterprise within the real
estate industry of Joules Town.

How could it go bankrupt just like that?!

However, no one had any suspicions after the news was verified by official
media.

Billion Trees Real Estate must have fallen. This was the hard truth.

Insiders within the business circle knew that the downfall of a corporation will
bring forth various

negative impacts, but it might also bring plenty of opportunities and benefits.
Besides, the person that caused the downfall of Billion Trees Real Estate must
be the greatest benefactor of them all.

Lennon Real Estate had naturally taken the win.

They would definitely rise to power and success like a black horse.
