The next day, Harrison and Lauren left the villa at 6:00 am to head to the office.

Meanwhile, Hera and Melody slept in until about 7:00 am.

The two dawdled for a while more, and it was 8:00 am when they arrived at the office.

“Melody, please stop the car at the entrance!”

Hera caught sight of five people dressed in military uniforms standing at the entrance.

The group consisted of three men and two women. There was a sharp glint in their eyes, and all five of them seemed to have an austere temperament.

Melody stepped on the brakes. Hera rolled down the window and asked the five soldiers, “Did Robin ask you to come?”

One of the formidable-looking women glanced at Hera before nodding slightly.

Hera smiled. “I’m the president of Baroque Group. You’re hired!”

The five exchanged looks of surprise.

They were hired just like that?

Hera smiled as she said, “I trust Robin and you guys too. I’ll get Robin to take you through the onboarding process later!”

Upon returning to the president’s office, Hera asked her secretary to summon the head of the Logistics Department to her office.

Melody sat beside Hera’s desk and said, “I’ll go look into Deco Electronics on your behalf!”

Robin had mentioned that Xena was under the protection of a martial artist expert yesterday.

Jewell County was part of Jonford, and counties did not usually produce Profound Reality Realm-level experts.

Melody was confident she would be able to stand her ground.

“Xena’s been on guard since the hidden cameras and bugs were removed. We can’t find out anything!

“She’s very introverted, so the fact that she managed to become a president means she’s got plenty of tricks up her sleeve!”

Hera spun a fountain pen between her fingers as she continued,”

Baroque is no longer a small company that can be controlled by everyone. In my opinion, we’ll deal with whatever situation arises as they come!”

Melody leaned back into her chair, the corner of her lips curving upward slightly. “Do you want to acquire Deco Electronics?”

Hera’s fountain pen dropped from her fingers onto the table as she turned and said, “Do you think it’s that easy to acquire a medium- sized enterprise?”

Nash only managed to acquire Innovate Collective because he had help from Walter Watson, the richest man in Jonford.

They could not trouble him once again, could they?

“Don’t you know that my father used to be the richest man in Xanthalos? I’ve got plenty of tricks up my sleeve!”

“Ah… Tell me more!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“I did some research last night. Deco Electronics was listed on the public market six months ago. Given the connections I have, it should be easy to cause the share price of a 30-billion dollar company to plummet!”

“Is that really alright?”

Hera felt somewhat hesitant.

She did not even dare dream of bringing down a publicly-listed company.

“Leave this to me. I also did some research into the chairman of Deco Electronics’ board of directors last night. This company was founded using illegal methods!”

“I don’t think we should take this risk!” Hera still felt worried. “After all, Deco Electronics is a publicly listed company. I’m sure they’ve got a massive network of connections!”

Melody smiled as she shook her head. “Hera, you need to remember this. Being in business is like being in war. Treating your enemy with kindness is the same as being cruel to yourself.

“How do you think the Watson, Zell, and Lewis families attained their status as elite families? They all have tricks much scarier than you could even imagine up their sleeves. Many companies even used to dabble in underground forces.

“It doesn’t matter if they’ve never crossed you, but you should never go easy on them if they do cross you!

“This is especially true if Baroque goes public one day. The capitalists will surface then, and that’s when the war will truly begin!”
