King's Awakening

As soon as Jacob Bright uttered these words, there was an immediate silence from Jones Group’s side.

The leaders of the construction teams invited by Sherry Jones, sat in their seats, wearing complex expressions on their faces.

Indeed, they had at most tens of workers under them. Not counting as a construction team at all, they were at best small contractors.

The Bright family, despite not being a primary construction business, still had a hundred-member construction team under their control.

They couldn’t be compared with the Bright family.

Jacob Bright saw that each one of them seemed as helpless as a quail, sitting in their seats, not daring to speak. The expressions on their faces indicated growing satisfaction.

Although he didn’t come to attend the Jones Group’s celebration, it didn’t stop him from ridiculing Sherry Jones.

Snowden Jones, who was standing by his side, looked superior and said arrogantly, “Do you see now, Sherry Jones? Even though you have some backing, you still want to take over the Nezzi project? It’s just a pipe dream.”

Upon hearing these words, Sherry’s face turned various shades of green and purple, growing increasingly unsightly.

Just at this moment, a commotion was heard at the celebration site of the Imperial Group. All members of the Imperial Group almost instantly stood at the doorway, as if expecting someone important.

Archer Bright, who was with Alan Austin, quickly yelled to Jacob and Snowden, “Jacob, Snowden, hurry back. Stop wasting your time with these irrelevant people. The new owner of Kim Village and his construction team are here. Hurry.”

The new owner of Kim Village?

Jacob and Snowden were stunned, a bit unable to react.

Hadn’t Kim Village always been Leonardo Kim’s territory? Where did this new owner come from?

Jacob didn’t understand, neither did Snowden, and even Sherry Jones, who had been paying attention to Kim Village, looked puzzled.

The news of Leonardo Kim’s death had not yet spread. It was expected they did not know.

Jacob then quickly returned to Archer Bright’s side with Snowden, dutifully prepared to greet this mysterious VIP.

Indeed, he was very important in their eyes. To take over Kim Village so smoothly in such a short time, he wasn’t just anybody.

Even Leonardo Kim, had spent more than a decade painstakingly gathering all the resources of the construction team under his control.

Thus, everyone in the Imperial Group, under Alan Austin’s leadership, was waiting anxiously for the new owner of Kim Village to arrive.

After a while, the elevator doors opened slowly. The first figure that everyone saw was Messiah Anderson, who walked ahead with an obsequious smile, bowing and scraping to whoever he encountered.

“Mr. Mill, please, come this way…” Messiah Anderson said politely.

Next, they saw a middle-aged man in his forties, along with a group of leaders of construction teams, slowly appearing in their view.

Theodore Engineering Team, Ma Engineering Team, Leo Engineering Team…

Seeing these familiar faces, Alan Austin finally relaxed from his anxiety and let out a sigh of relief.

All these were core construction teams under Leonardo Kim. Each of them had hundreds of construction workers under them.

This was one of Imperial Group’s major supports for the Nezzi project. As long as these people were on their side, what could Sherry Jones fight them with?

Did she really think having Cooper as her backer made her invincible? She was still going to be crushed under his feet.

Alan Austin, who had thought of this, became wholeheartedly bullish. He immediately threw a defiant look towards Sherry Jones.

At this moment, Sherry Jones, upon seeing the middle-aged man in the lead, had directly frozen on the spot.

“Mr…Mr. Mill?” Sherry Jones was dumbfounded. She never expected that the new owner of Kim Village, according to Alan Austin, would be Beryl Mill’s father, Vincent Mill!

Noises of surprise rumbled!

For a moment, Sherry Jones’ heart was overwhelmed by an astonishing tumult, and took a long time to calm down.

Just when Sherry Jones had not yet reacted, Alan Austin had already eagerly approached Vincent Mill with a full face of excitement.

“Hello Mr. Mill, your honorary visit truly adds an extraordinary splendor to our Imperial Group. Welcome, welcome, here is…” Alan Austin warmly greeted Vincent Mill.

However, before he could finish speaking, a beautiful little girl following Vincent Mill suddenly shouted with great enthusiasm: “Sherry! I’m here! I’m over here!”

After that, the little girl waved her arms in excitement, calling Sherry Jones warmly over.

This…

Seeing this scene, Alan Austin’s face froze in surprise. He hadn’t reacted yet, and even his hand, which was about to shake hands, was hanging in mid-air.

What baffled him more was that Vincent Mill had not given him a serious look at all from the start, let alone shake hands with him. The next moment, he directly led his people towards Sherry Jones.

Deathly silence!

All the high-spirited people of the Imperial Group, at this moment, had fallen into silence. The whole scene quieted down all of a sudden.

Exactly what was going on?

Wasn’t this the esteemed guest that Alan Austin had invited?

How come not only did he not give Alan a good face, but also went over to the Jones Group’s side?

The people of the Imperial Group looked at each other, their faces turning ugly.

At this moment, Alan Austin’s hand was still awkwardly in the air. He stood in place as if frozen, unable to recover for a long time.

If anyone had stood in front of him then, they would have seen that the look on his face was the coldest it could be, as if it were covered by a giant dark cloud.

On the other hand, Jacob Bright and Snowden Jones, who had just ridiculed Sherry Jones, were feeling so shocked that they didn’t know what to say.

Who could have imagined that the new owner of Kim Village would actively show goodwill towards Sherry Jones!

Compared with such a bigshot, what was the Bright Family worth?

Could it be that White Mitchell, this bastard, knew about this situation all along?

No wonder he said that the Bright Family wasn’t qualified. That bastard must have been boasting earlier. Fuck, they had been played!

At this point, the expressions on Jacob’s and Snowden’s faces turned quite unsightly, as if they had been violently slapped. Waves of burning sensation rushed into them.

At this point, Grandy Anderson, who was standing behind Alan Austin, could not help interjecting: “Mr. Mill, could…could you have made a mistake?

The celebration venue for our Imperial Group is over here. Aren’t you here to attend our celebration? You…”

Hearing Grandy Anderson’s voice, Vincent Mill turned his head slowly and said indifferently, “What Imperial Group? I’m not aware of it. Who says I was going to attend your company celebration?

Today, I am here to attend the company celebration of my niece, Sherry Jones!

So, does your shitty Imperial Group have any objections?”
