Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The Sinner of the Imperial Group?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Sayon is located in the eastern part of Dragon Realm and falls under the jurisdiction of the Azure Dragon. Even though the Azure Dragon is currently leading the White Army of twenty thousand men back to camp, this doesn’t hinder his investigation of Sayon.

[Superior, The Imperial Group is celebrating their stock market launch tonight at seven o’clock at the Sayon International Hotel. They have invited our Nezzi command to attend.]

Upon reading the message, White Mitchell’s gaze turned cold. He immediately instructed Kylin, “Kylin! Have Azure Dragon tell Alan Austin that the Nezzi command accepts their invitation and that a high-profile guest will be attending in person!”

Understood.

Receiving the order, Kylin immediately put it into action.

Sayon International Hotel!

This is one of the highest-rated five-star hotels in Sayon where the Imperial Group is hosting their market launch celebration.

The successful listing of the Imperial Group signifies that they have officially joined the ranks of the elite in Sayon, beginning from today.

The celebration not only commemorates this achievement but also importantly announces to everyone in Sayon about the official rise of the Imperial Group, solidifying their position in Sayon.

For this reason, almost everyone in attendance tonight is a person of significance in Sayon.

However, these people are no longer that important to the Imperial Group, or to Alan Austin and Grandy Anderson at this moment.

Because they, as a couple, just received a piece of news: a high-profile guest from the Nezzi command will be attending their celebration.

The moment they heard this news, Alan Austin and Grandy Anderson could hardly believe it.

Originally, they only wanted to extend a courteous invitation; they had never thought that it would be successful.

Unexpectedly, not only did they successfully invite the Nezzi command, but a high-profile figure from within the command, whose presence was personally conveyed by the War King Azure Dragon himself, would be attending!

Wow!

At this moment, both Alan Austin and Grandy Anderson’s faces were flushed with extreme joy.

“Heaven does favor me, indeed, favors me!” Alan Austin said excitedly; he was even more thrilled by this than by the Imperial Group’s market launch.

Standing by his side, Grandy Anderson was also jumping with excitement, “Alan, we’ve succeeded. This time around, even the Royal Group will be stepping down to us!”

“Heh, the worthless Royal Group, from now on, Imperial Group is Sayon’s top powerhouse! Hahaha…” Alan Austin bolstered.

“Hehe… I deserve the most credit here, if I hadn’t suggested that we get rid of the trouble Chester Wang, where would the Imperial Group be today?” Grandy Anderson eagerly claimed credit.

Upon hearing her words, a sinister smile appeared on Alan Austin’s face.

Indeed, he had been able to dethrone White and successfully put him in jail, Grandy Anderson played a paramount role.

Before Grandy Anderson even became White’s fiancée, she was already with him. Then, during one of the project gatherings, she took advantage of

Mitchell’s drunken state to ruin his reputation and allowed herself to become White’s fiancée.

This was only the first step, but also the most critical one, paving the way for his coup later on.

Later on, Alan Austin successfully fabricated evidence of White embezzling public funds with the help of Grandy Anderson, and even bribed some old company employees to frame White, which resulted in White being jailed.

But most crucially, it was the evidence fabricated by Grandy Anderson, each piece bearing White’s signature, irrefutable and undeniable.

As he thought of this, Alan Austin’s face broke into a smile of victory: “Yes, indeed. Was it not for your clever scheme, White’s fiancée, that White would have vanished so quickly.

Speaking of which, I wonder how my ‘brother’ is doing in prison, hahaha…”

At this point, Grandy Anderson said in a flattering tone, “What could he be doing? I heard prison is a tough place, perhaps he is running and slipping everywhere, hehehe…”

The two exchanged glances and laughed, their joy unable to be contained.

Several high-ranking Imperial Group officials witnessing this scene began buttering them up: “Just look at Mr. Austin and Mr. Anderson, what a lovely pair. If not for them, we would still be getting exploited by White.”

“Speaking of White, that son of a gun should be out of jail by now. I wonder where he is hiding. If I ever run into him, I’ll slap him across the face!” someone suddenly chimed in.

“Heh… I’m afraid you won’t get that chance, when he almost caused our Imperial Group to go bankrupt, do you think he would dare to come back? Our resentful spit alone could drown him!” Someone else disdainfully replied.

Upon hearing this, Alan Austin and Grandy Anderson exchanged tacit glances, their minds filled with unspoken understandings.

Others may not understand, but they, as the masterminds, know very well that White is unlikely to ever reappear.

Subsequently, an elated Alan Austin couldn’t wait to mount the stage and pick up the microphone.

It was quite evident that with the Nezzi command gracing their occasion, how could he miss such an exciting promotional opportunity? Therefore, he was eager to spread the news far and wide.

Bang, Bang!

Alan Austin, standing on stage, seriously tapped the microphone, eternal joy etched on his face.

Seeing his demeanor, the people in the crowd began to jest and banter.

“Alright, please calm down everyone. I, Alan, won’t keep you guessing any longer. Indeed I have news that’s even more exciting than our market debut to share with everyone!

The Nezzi Command has accepted our Imperial Group’s invitation and will be sending a high-profile guest to attend in person!”

wow!

As his words resounded, the entire room gasped. Everyone’s faces beamed with envy.

The Nezzi Command, an existence that even top-tier entities like the Royal Group are desperate to court. Who would have thought they would be snatched up by the Imperial Group? Furthermore, they’re sending a high-profile guest to attend.

This clearly shows the importance of the Imperial Group in the Nezzi Command’s eyes!

Before this, no one would have thought that the Imperial Group would gain favor from the Nezzi Command. But now, Alan Austin has made the impossible, possible.

In light of this, who would dare stop the rise of the Imperial Group?

Instantly, thunderous applause broke the silence as everyone offered their congratulations.

While the celebration was in full swing inside, the hotel entrance outside was quiet, with only a few passers-by and some Imperial Group employees.

Most of these employees are those not favored by the Imperial Group, otherwise, they wouldn’t be assigned to guard the front door on such a festive day.

At this time, White Mitchell and Kylin appeared outside the hotel. Just as they were about to walk in, they were stopped: “Where are your invitations? Today is a private celebration, you cannot enter without an invitation..”
