After sending the message, David quickly left the house.He arrived at the nearest ATM, inserted the card, and entered the password.His hands trembled as he punched the numbers in.‘Please be right, please be right…’He closed his eyes and prayed desperately.After a few seconds, he opened his eyes.Seeing the ATM interface, he was so overwhelmed with excitement that he let out a cry of happiness. Quickly maneuvering the interface he tapped button after button and selected the option to check the bank balance.‘One, two, three, four, five…’He counted the number of zeroes in Thea’s bank balance and gasped giddily.After he had confirmed the amount in Thea’s balance, he quickly removed the card.Carefully putting away the card, he walked away from the ATM, and lit up a cigarette.

The next day.Thea got up early.She stood in front of the mirror and styled her hair.While doing her hair, she spoke to James who was still in bed, “Honey, since Pacific Group is back on track now, I think now’s a good time to change its name. I’m planning to rename it to Century Group. What do you think?”James glanced at Thea from behind.He smiled as if admiring a piece of beautiful art and replied, “Sounds good, hun.”“It’s settled then. I’ll arrange for the company name to be changed at noon. Today will be the founding day for the Century Group. I’ve sent invitations to some prominent figures to attend the founding ceremony of the Century Group.”Originally, Thea had not intended to tell James about this decision.However, the Pacific Group was bought with his money. Now that she wanted to change the name, she had to inform him at least.“Do you need me to contact some people to show up for support?” asked James.James knew it was important to invite more people to t

James read through the messages.He rested his fingers on his nose pensively.Thea had not discussed the name change with him and only informed him about it in the morning.Yet, here she was asking for the opinion of Mr.Caden of the Majestic Corporation.Despite the two having a happy marriage at home, treating each other with respect, and living harmoniously, Thea had never told him about anything regarding work.James casually threw the phone on the table.Newton stood aside and inquired, “Will you be going, Mr. Caden? You’ve resigned as the Black Dragon, but everyone already knows your identity as the chairman of Majestic Corporation. It’s also public knowledge that you’re the person helping Thea from behind the scenes. Not to mention the rumors about you…”Newton hesitated.“Go ahead if you’ve got something to say,” snapped James.Newton hesitated for a moment before explaining himself, “Various companies have been putting pressure on the Majestic Corporation in the past f

The Pacific Group Headquarters was not far from the industrial area.Initially, the Pacific Group was just a manufacturing factory, and the headquarters was a simple four-story building near their factory and not centered around town.According to Thea’s plan, the Pacific Group will continue to expand and aim to build a new office building in Transgenerational New City after its name change.Ten in the morning.Century Group Headquarters.The headquarters was a four-story building.Outside the building was an open space with tables.

“Stop this behavior!”Gladys approached and chided everyone, “Thea is someone highly respected. Plenty of bigwigs are dying to meet her. Just you wait! A lot of influential figures will be arriving soon. Celestial Group, Longevity Pharmaceuticals, and other major company bosses will be here!” “Mom, shut up,” David pulled Glaydys aside and whispered.“Everyone knows that the Black Dragon was behind Thea’s success. After he resigned, he’s now no longer part of the Five Commanders. Rumors say that he was demoted or was under pressure from his higher-ups.
