Westlake outshone Salt City in prosperity.Upon arrival, the group initially visited the project department and was then guided by its staff to the construction site.The Innova employees had commenced construction at the site according to the finalized plan. In addition to the basic wiring, crucial equipment had been gradually transported from Salt City and was getting ready to enter the site.High-ranking individuals such as Sylvia, Eric, and Andy rarely ventured into the field. However, this Westlake project held exceptional significance.Despite confirmed details and plans, Eric, as the CIO of the Innova Group, found it beneficial to inspect certain aspects.Post-inspection, they moved on to the employee dormitories. Since the Westlake project spanned the long term, the Innova construction personnel would be residing there.Sylvia was particularly concerned about the living environment for the employees and emphasized the importance of good meals and proper rest for the staff

Cassius filled the glasses and said, "Ms. Williams, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bikman, thank you for coming here. Let's have a toast!"After the toast, Cassius' face was a bit flushed. During the meal, he praised the Innova Group's achievements endlessly. Over the years, numerous companies in this field had emerged in the country, but apart from the Innova Group, the rest either had gone bankrupt halfway or had not even come to life.Cassius was very talkative, discussing company matters and various topics.The meal lasted until 10:00 p.m. Realizing it was getting late, Cassius reluctantly sent Eric and the others back.-"How do you feel about Cassius?" Sylvia asked.Andy chuckled and said, "He's too enthusiastic! I've never seen someone so warm!"To Andy, Cassius seemed excessively warm, like he knew everyone very well. Sylvia looked at Eric, seeking his opinion."Cassius seems genuinely warm, but it's hard to comment on other aspects. After all, each family has its own rules. Howeve

There were only four families in the country of this level, and following the Larsons' demise, merely three remained. These families held immense wealth and power.Despite the Larsons' downfall being seemingly linked to dealings with the Innova Group, few knew the actual reason.The faces of the Rockwoods turned serious. Unaware of the true reasons behind the Larsons' collapse, they had initially believed it was due to dealing with the Innova Group.Damien remarked, "I knew they were extraordinary. The Innova Group is the only conglomerate in this industry nationwide. I've heard that to secure the contract for building the three major data centers, the Visionary Group was even temporarily suspended from operation."The suspension was only lifted when it was confirmed that the Innova Group would handle the project. Someone influential from King City must be supporting the Innova Group."A sense of worry about their future lingered. The Rockwoods were not content with Westlake—they

Playing with the baton in his hand, Mario gave the project manager a sidelong glance and asked, "Why are we asking you to halt the construction? You've been making noise all morning. The people here could barely sleep! How could you be so heartless?"Understanding dawned upon the project manager. The data center's location was more than 20 kilometers away from the central area of Westlake, and the vicinity had already been cleared before the Rockwoods started construction. There were no people living around there."Alright." The project manager chuckled and asked, "How much do you want?"He figured these troublemakers were there for money.Mario took out a cigarette and lit it. "There are still about ten households around. I've asked about your project. It's an investment of over 100,000,000 dollars. We don't want much. If 1,000,000 dollars per household, give us 10,000,000 dollars, and we'll go our merry way."The project manager's face sank. However, he kept himself calm and sai

"It's not about that, Mr. Potter!" Mario exclaimed. "When we went to the project site, there was an incredibly stunning woman! Her bodyguard could even bend a baton with his bare hands! But that's not the main point!"Finnick slapped him, demanding, "Hurry up and get to the point!"Mario rubbed his head and explained, "You know what? The CEO of the Innova Group is a stunningly pretty woman! I've never seen such a beautiful woman! She even outshines those celebrities by a large margin!""Really?!" Finnick sat up in surprise."Certainly, Mr. Potter! You can ask them if you don't believe me!" Mario assured him.Finnick glanced at the men behind Mario, and they all nodded in agreement.Finnick rubbed his bald head and declared, "Well, today must be my lucky day! Gather up our men. We're going to the site!"-At the project site.Matthew anticipated that the gang led by Mario would come, but he didn't expect them to return so soon.Mario rushed forward and shouted, "Stop! Everyone

Finnick was indeed a formidable martial artist, but Matthew was no stranger to fights either. When Finnick attacked, Matthew intercepted Finnick's fist with a palm."Not bad, young man!" Finnick took a step back. "Few people can master Iron Palm to this level! Who is your master?"He knew that most grandmasters had some background. The support of the Rockwoods was not the sole reason he could lead the Westlake underworld. His caution also played a significant role.Thus, even though Matthew and Vince might not have a prominent background, he was confident it was surely not a small one."Scared!?" Matthew sneered. "If you're scared, then get lost!""In my dictionary, there's no such word as 'scared'!" Finnick said and attacked Matthew again.Vince crossed his arms and observed from the side. With both of them guarding this place, he wasn't worried that anyone would dare to come and cause trouble.Having followed Eric for over a year, he had only encountered legends like Eric, Pie

Hearing Finnick's sigh, Cassius asked, "What's wrong? Did something go awry?"Finnick nodded. "When I visited the Innova Group's construction site, two grandmasters were guarding the entrance. It seems they're well-prepared for us. I engaged in a lengthy battle with one of them, but we couldn't determine a winner!"In truth, he and Matthew had only exchanged blows for a dozen rounds, but the stalemate was genuine.Cassius squinted and asked with curiosity, "Two grandmasters? It's unlikely that the Innova Group could have expanded to this extent with just a couple of grandmasters…"Cassius believed that a rapidly growing company like the Innova Group must boast a formidable security team, which was why he had assigned Finnick to handle the situation. However, he was puzzled when Finnick revealed that only two grandmasters guarded the entrance.He gazed at Finnick and asked, "So, it appears you can't handle this?"Finnick scratched his head and admitted, "As you know, I only have t

The grand celebration continued in full swing, marking the pinnacle of the Rockwoods' prosperity in Westlake. Even major families from King City arrived bearing gifts, and Cassius beamed with joy throughout the entire event.Nonetheless, a sense of regret lingered in his heart.Despite being the most prosperous family in Westlake, the Rockwoods' resources and reputation couldn't match the top families in King City due to geographical constraints.Cassius knew for the Rockwoods to truly thrive, they needed to move to King City and surpass the top families there, replacing the Larsons after their downfall.In reality, the competition for that position was intense, with many formidable families eyeing it, including the Montgomerys. Grace seized the opportunity after the Larsons' collapse to elevate the Montgomerys to one of the top four families.Grace was an ambitious woman with grand visions and had unmatched resources in her hands, possibly due to her relationship with Eric.
