'If we dare to lay a finger on Ruth, our family won't last a day!' This certainty resounded in Bryce's mind as he faced the situation.Sitting down, Ruth glanced at Bryce, her expression stern. "Mr. Pentra, we've received reports lately suggesting some serious issues within your family."Those words sent a chill down Bryce's spine. He knew better than anyone that the Combat Department never bothered with explanations. Once one was on their list, it would be as good as a death sentence.Bryce hurriedly said, "Ms. McClain, there must be some misunderstanding! The Pentra family has always upheld the law and order, never engaging in illicit activities."As for myself, I abhor criminal elements and would never stray down that path. And my two children, I've raised them with strict principles—they wouldn't involve themselves in unlawful deeds."Ruth nodded, then suddenly asked, "Mr. Pentra, could the recent disappearances of several female stars be related to the Pentras? Rumor has it t

Ruth's arrival made the Pentras hesitant to make any rash moves. They even refrained from hosting any gatherings, knowing that such events were directed toward Sylvia. If the Innova Group were to alert the Combat Department, the Pentras would be in serious trouble.Thus, their actions became significantly restrained.-John had made some progress.Approaching Ron, he addressed the issue at hand, "The Westlake distributors have long been voicing complaints about the Pentras. I've personally met with the top five distributors, yet they still harbor reservations about the Innova Group."Ron chuckled. "They all seem eager to go against the Pentras, but..." he trailed off, implying a lack of confidence in their ability to do so.John nodded, realizing his own uncertainties mirrored theirs. His intention wasn't an immediate defection from the Pentras but rather an exploration of their sentiments.Would they dare to break away and operate independently given the chance? The unanimous r

John intended to bypass the Pentras and meet with the Innova Group.The secretary prepared the documents and handed them to John, who promptly left with the papers.Leaving the office, he smirked. 'Do they think I don't know that this damn secretary is also from the Pentras?'Over the years, he was well aware of everyone around him.Weren't the Pentras using her to secretly monitor their actions and the company? Well, he could use that to his advantage.Carrying the documents, he headed straight to his office.-The Innova Group had long established an office in Westlake City.Eric, Sylvia, and the Locke brothers were already there.In addition to the Locke brothers, Eric also brought three people from the Combat Department.Ruth had left Westlake City, but her associates remained there.John was the first to arrive, and Ron poured him a cup of coffee, asking, "How's it going?"John wiped the sweat off his forehead and made an OK gesture. "Mr. Biscus, don't worry. By now, t

Dwayne sank back into his chair, frustration etched across his face. "Mr. Johnson, do you have any other pressing matters? We need to address the companies' finances first! They hold the purse strings, and every penny we spend must pass through their hands!"He felt stifled beyond measure. Despite it being his own money, control slipped from his grasp into the Pentras' hands. Allowing them control was one thing, but needing their consent for every expenditure? It felt like the greatest mockery he had ever endured."What's the rush?" Eric interjected. "Your company remains under your control in every aspect except finances. Besides, without your approval, can they truly move any money?"Eric continued. "The Pentras are aware of our meeting here. Their delay tactic is to observe our response and take action."Eric had a suspicion about the Pentras' next move. The Combat Department had recently visited their premises—they wouldn't dare threaten the distributors' families. Most likely,

Mark seethed with anger!Were they seeking death, these slaves destined for doom?John clenched his teeth. "Mark! Who's the one living off others? Your Pentras are the ungrateful ones! We've generated so much wealth for your family, how have they treated us?"Mark's expression turned dangerous as he looked at John. Upon seeing Sylvia, however, he hastily put on a smiling face, though his words remained somewhat impolite. "Ms. Williams, you can't do this. These distributors are all part of our Pentra family!"Shall I take them back? I can make that decision myself and only take 50% of your profits!"He was truly going all out to resolve this matter!Compared to the Innova Group, the distributors held more significance. After all, the profits they made belonged to the Pentras!Upon hearing that, the five distributors panicked.Would the Innova Group hand them over? Wouldn't that be a death sentence?Sylvia hadn't even stood up yet when she grinned. "Mr. Pentra, do you own all th

Little did Mark realize that the Innova Group dared to take him on!Despite bringing along a few skilled fighters, the Innova party proved to be even more formidable. He ended up battered and bruised, his face a swollen mess."Get lost!" Vince exclaimed arrogantly. "Don't let me catch sight of you again, or I'll beat you every time!"Mark felt like his once handsome face had been completely wrecked. He left in humiliation with his Pentra entourage, swearing under his breath, "Just you wait! You bastards will pay for this!"He was furious. As the Pentra heir, he was used to getting his way in all matters. Who had ever dared to deal such a blow to him?John and his companions turned pale. This turn of events was beyond their wildest expectations.John said, "Mr. Biscus, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Williams... you guys... are in trouble! Big trouble!"Having dealt with the Pentra family for years, John knew precisely the sort of family they were: vindictive to the core. Would they remain indi

"Do they think I'm just a nobody?" The words had barely left Bryce's lips when his phone rang. It was someone from the company he had arranged things with, so he quickly answered, "Make sure you keep an eye on them. Don't let them collaborate with the Innova Group, and certainly don't let the Westlake distributors slip from our grasp!"He was giving orders. But the next moment…"W-What? You've been fired?" It was quite a ludicrous question.The individuals arranged by the Pentras to control the companies and monitor the distributors' movements had been dismissed. The Pentras primarily controlled the companies from a financial standpoint, ensuring they knew exactly how much money the distributors made.Who would have thought those people would be fired?!Ultimately, the companies still belonged to the distributors, who had complied with the Pentras out of fear. However, they had now turned against the Pentras. With the Innova Group leading the charge against Mark, it felt like they

Bryce felt somewhat powerless. He hadn't anticipated the Innova Group resorting to such tactics, and most importantly, he couldn't manipulate them.Mark began to suggest, "Dad, I think when Sylvia arrives, we should take them all down. After capturing them, we'll strip her naked and take explicit photos from every angle without leaving any blind spots!"Hmph! And if we capture some more stimulating scenes, I don't believe she will still resist!" He looked smug.While he was thinking his plan was ingenious, Bryce slapped him."Foolish!" Bryce uttered coldly.Mark wore a puzzled expression. He thought their plan was brilliant, so why did Bryce call it foolish?Bryce sneered. "Have you ever considered the Innova Group's structure? Slvia is just an employee they've hired. She doesn't own the company. Holding her hostage, threatening her, what good would that do?"She is expendable. If the Innova Group wishes, they can easily replace her as CEO today! How much impact would that have
