Chapter 363 - Wren's vindication

"So, in three days, there'll be an event to select prospect players who could join on that day?" Wren inquired with a bluetooth device in his ear.

"Yeah,"

"I see. Well, good luck man." With that said note, the line was cut off. 

Sighing in relief, Wren grinned as he felt his mood brightened. He resumed eating his steak early in the morning with jest.

Ever since Alexander Han joined, he got more free time aside from earning more money and keeping his hands clean. Since Seraphina wanted L-tech innovative financing company to have a clean record, Wren hasn't participated in the heist they were planning.

He doesn't even need to meet and associate himself with David Ong or anything near that. Wren only needed to keep track of Alexander Han's status and report it to X who will pass it to Seraphina.

Hence, X gave both of these money-making machines a modified phone that was protected by X's system. Meaning, they didn't have to worry about any discussion they have because no one will trace or hack it.

"Having him is the best decision boss did," Wren mumbled with a jestful grin on his lips. Just then, a ring resonated on his earpiece which startled the flashy Wren's mood.

Accepting the call, he heard his assistant's voice came through the line, "CEO Tanaka, we had another competitor regarding the owner of the land that you've been eyeing; it was the Jin family."

"What?" Wren's brows creased hearing the Jin family's involvement in the land that would soon be his.

"They bid a much higher price than ours." The assistant's composed tone continued his report.

"They doubled it?" 

"No, sir. Tripled it." Without any fluctuations, the assistant corrected Wren's guessed.

"I see. Make some digging, I need to know who was the head of the leading the bid." Wren ordered and without waiting for his assistant to respond, he hung up on him.

"Jin family… I see, you're really aiming at me." The corner of Wren's lips curled into a cunning smirk. 

For the past three months, the L-Tech innovative financing company had faced great dilemmas it has ever encountered. Of course, with a man like Wren Tanaka leading the company, it was resolved in a week or two.

Alas, since he was baffled by the decreasing businessmen proposing for partnership, Wren's hunched tells him there's a person orc_h_e_s_trating it from behind the scene.

Hence, since he relied on his hunch too much, he made some digging with X's assistance this time. After all, even though he used his influence to gather information regarding his conclusion, he was not satisfied with the outcome.

With the great help of one of the best hackers in the world, Wren to know that all individuals that were involved causing a ruckus to his company had a recent connection with the Jin Family.

Upon processing that piece of information, Wren's interest was piqued. But, he didn't jump to a conclusion just yet. He needed more substantial proof that the Jin family was aiming at him -- and not just a mere coincidence.

Now that the Jin family made a bold move, Wren was rather excited about it. He could be considered the least expert in a hand to hand brawl, unlike his confidants. 

However, aside from Alexander Han, none of them could beat him in manipulating and the ins and outs of the business industry. With a keen eyes and precise hunches, Wren would know the person's motive.

This time, what's he's certain was that the Jin family just didn't put up their game for resources. They wanted him to go down; which would be harder than they thought.

"Hmmm, Liam Jin… state your involvement in this, please." Wren mumbled as Liam Jin's unsettling gaze back then at the Yue banquet.

Until today, Wren Tanaka had always been bothered by that. Granting that Seraphina put semi stopped with her connection with Liam Jin, alas, if she ever wanted to reach out to him, Wren must know what kind of person was the guy and give his boss a heads up. After all, anything could happen in this world; whether in the underground or the bright side.

Therefore, Wren should do something like this since he had more free time at hand than the rest. Who knew that his absence on the ploy that his boss was cooking would also lead him to this unprecedented mission?

Yet, it would make him more productive since he had been itching to get his hands on the Jin family. He was just waiting for the Jin family to reveal their fangs behind their noble and gentle facade. In that case, he doesn't need to hold back and go all out.

He doesn't have anything to lose as he was originally an immoral felon from the underground thus, even if winning this incoming power struggle means losing his company, Wren was up for it. But, he would certainly drag the Jin family to the brink of bankruptcy.

With that thought in mind, Wren displayed an unsettling vibe that he rarely emits. Surely, he was ready to put up his game like this was playground.

He wouldn't be recognized if Wren didn't know what might come on his path as he would kick any obstacle that was blocking his way.

"Let's see who would burn more millions between us -- bring your all because you'll never beat me if you didn't," Wren muttered with a devilish chuckle which can make a person shudder. It's as if the usual Wren Tanaka he had always acted slowly dissipated and only a cunning man was left.
