Chapter 118
Chapter 118
All twelve of them were frightened out of their wits, and none of them dared to go against Kingsley.
A while later, all of them, who were initially dressed up nicely, stood there in their glory.
After Kingsley took a video of all of them, he got them to wear their clothes again before he gave all of them a disdainful look. "Do you guys know the consequences of this video getting leaked?"
"We do, we do…" All twelve of them, who were still in the midst of wearing their clothes, quickly answered in a terrified manner. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"That's good to know," Kingsley replied coldly.
"From today onward, if I run into any of you in Cleapolis, I won't hesitate to release this video! Do you guys understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing that, everyone cried out, "We get it. We won't ever show up in Cleapolis anymore!"
"I'll get a plane ticket and move to another country! I won't ever come to Qustian anymore!"
"Me too! I'll migrate with my entire family, and I won't show up in front of you ever again!"
……
…
No one dared not to agree to Kingsley's terms as all of them were renowned business elites, and they'd
rather leave the country than become other people's laughing stock.
After dealing with them, Kingsley returned to Daniel's office together with Reene.
When Reene saw the legendary vice president of Coliree Group, she got really nervous as her palms and feet turned cold, and she didn't know how to react.
At the same time, Daniel was extremely nervous as his body stiffened up when he saw Ares, the God of War.
He really wanted to do a military salute, but he was afraid that it might be inappropriate.
Seeing these two standing stiffly and not knowing what to do, Kingsley broke out laughing before he asked, "Why are you two in a daze? Come sit down."
Hearing him, Daniel returned to his seat cautiously before he took a stack of document files out and said to Reene, "Miss Wynn, we will release four projects during the pre-bid conference later. Do take a look at this."
Reene's eyes widened when she took the file. "T-The… largest project here actually costs up to 30 billion?"
"That's right. This is a project with Cleapolis City Hall. If you're interested, we can decide on a partnership now."
However, Reene quickly waved her arms around after hearing him. "No, no, no! We are just a small
department store, so we can't handle such a large infrastructural project like this!"
Then, she gave Kingsley a look to express her shock.
Coliree Group is actually considering giving me their biggest project because of Kingsley? Is there anyone else in Solaris Province who can make this happen?!
Still, Kingsley smiled softly before he suggested, "Since that state-owned brand building quoted at 2 billion is very suitable for a department store, why don't you let Neveah handle that?"
Reena nodded. "I prefer that project as well."
"Sure," Daniel answered without any hint of hesitation.
"Just write something on your tender during the pre-bid conference later on. I'll make sure that the project will be Neveah's!"
After getting Coliree Group's vice president's affirmation, Reene felt her face flushed red from excitement.
She was flattered as this was her first time getting a 'back door' business deal, and it was a pleasant experience.
After sorting the documents, Daniel glanced at his watch and reported respectfully, "Mr. Nicholson, the pre-bid conference is starting soon. Let's head over there right now."
When the three of them reached Tower A, Daniel didn't enter the hall together with them to avoid
suspicion and entered through the staff area by the side instead.
At the same time, there were already many hotshots from all sorts of industries sitting at the pre-bid conference.
It was an understatement to claim that all of the top businessmen in Solaris Province were gathered there.
Just then, Kingsley and Reene got seated in a less noticeable corner.
Upon noticing them, Michael, who was sitting close to them, waved his hand at them happily. "Kingsley, you're finally here!"
Everyone present at the hall was society elites or businessmen that were millionaires, and he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles sitting among these people as the head of a second-rated family.
At that moment, Michael felt like an ugly duckling that managed to blend into a group of swans, and he didn't even dare to look up at all.
Thus, he was relieved when he saw Kingsley.
Meanwhile, a surprised voice rang out the moment Kingsley and Reene sat down. "Reene Wynn?"
The person who spoke was a man, who had a slick back and was covered in designer brands from head to toe.
He raised his hand purposely to show his Rolex Kermit before he exclaimed, "It's really you! It's been a
while!"
The man who spoke was Reene's classmate back in university, Will Maslow.
Not expecting to run into him here, Reene nodded with a cold face as a greeting.
"Come on, why are you still acting cold?" Will questioned sarcastically.
"Back then, you refused to go to the hotel with me even after I threw a wad of cash at you! I can't believe that you're still acting holy even after so many years!"
Reene frowned. "Will, you tried to humiliate me with money after I rejected you back then, and I'm not planning on talking about it anymore! Please stop trying to mess with me again!"
"You're saying that I tried to pursue you?" Will questioned before he chuckled coldly.
"Reene Wynn, why would I, the young master of Diosna City's Scarlet Heart Group, want to pursue you? All I did was place a bet with my mates to see who would get to sleep with your curvy a*s! It's such a pity because I would have been able to get Jameson's sports car if you had slept with me back then!"
Then, he started scanning Reene's body with a lustful look before he licked his lips and exclaimed, "You looked even better than before now that I haven't seen you in a few years! I also heard that you'd become one of Cleapolis' well-known entrepreneurs? Tsk, it is my hobby to make strong women like you submissive!"
Immediately, Reene snapped with a stern look on her face, "Watch your mouth, Will! I'm not that girl
that will allow you to step all over me now!"
"Haha! What about it? Just because you're a progressive woman who happens to run a company?"
Will laughed disdainfully before a lustful look appeared on his face again. "Still, the more you act like this, the more it turns me on!"
Suddenly, he noticed Kingsley, who was sitting next to Reene, before he exclaimed with a look of realization, "So that's why you keep rejecting my advances! I didn't know that you're into gigolos!"
Upon hearing that, Reene had her face darkened as she tried to suppress her anger. "Will, you better not try to humiliate me or the people around me again!"
"So what if I humiliate you?" Will crossed his leg with a smug look on his face. "What's wrong with humiliating an orphan like you?"
