Chapter 58 - Look Where She Is...

Onyx sighed inwardly and shook her head. Who said, Prince's grave hatred was only for Lu Jianjun, in fact, Venus had successfully shared Lu Jianjun's burden of hate. Onyx felt fortunate as they never get to deal with this pair of devil together. Only God knows how lethal their pairing would be against them that even dealing with them separately required tons of determination and endurance just to stay a step ahead.

"Man, look at how she made us kill our own people. I've never seen such a cunning insolent bitch like her."

***Notice: You can skip this part but this relevant to Mei-Xing's works life and family. Don't waste time if you don't like business and politics.***

Onyx warily looked at Louis and thought about what had actually happened at that time. Underworld had devised and almost achieved a full proof plan to seize State F into their territory. Abduction and threating of Jean's two children was only a drama for the world. In particular, Jean was their facade portraying as a victim of Underworld. A fraud case with real evidence provided like torturing videos of Jean's children which was actually a part of their physical training at underworld's base. Everything was planned. Just so they could plant a mole in UoT or at least Jean could become a part of their system. In fact, Jean himself had sent his two boys to train in the underworld and severe them just like Onyx was also trained considering their individual capabilities.

How the hell Jean got caught under suspicion was something also surprised them? But they didn't delay to lay their card on the table and took the back seat leaving the case with their top-notch prosecutors in plea bargaining arguing and regarding the death penalty as inhumane and it encourages a 'culture of violence'. They presented the culprit in such a way as Jean could be seen as a victim and not the terrorist he claimed to be. The masterminds in Underworld did that to see if Titan's have anything to do with this. UoT had the supreme authority such as they can deny the trails and discretely condemn their judgment to the supreme judge to act as said just like the other three got to tangle with UoT personally dealing with them as they don't compile on evidence but what they suspect off. No trails and no lawyers. Evidence can be created or destroyed hence they follow entirely different procedures. And if there are any shreds of evidence then UoT often leave them on intelligence agencies to work on.

When Jean's entire family was arrested to cross-examine at the same time, George and Jean's lawyer come to a settlement together to help each other cause Jean is holding a large amount of share which was 21% in Blanc Industries will crumple down altogether with Jean. Finding a middle ground and sacrificing Jean they deal was closed with those shares distributed in three parts of 7% each after Jean's death or whatever imprisonment court decides. In return, George will help them to form a public retaliation demanding liable punishment for Jean but asking to release his both traumatic son's who suffered since childhood and if there plan succeeded George will receive the 7% of share Jean's share and in addition to George's 22%, he became the highest shareholder with a total of 29% with no other person holding a two-digit numbers of shares. Moreover, apart from Jean's son having 7% of shares each and one of their foreign investor none of the remaining shareholders has more 3% of shares. And ultimately, George didn't have to rely on his biggest foreign investor as well as the CEO of Warren Empire who merely has 6% of shares in Blanc Industries.

Everyone knows Mr. and Mrs Warren Smith owns a compelling large property in State F yet a particular one's know that here in State F they often come for their private family vacations as Mr Smith's eldest daughter loves to spend her vacation in State F. Still, the drastic changes in Blanc Industries doesn't affect the Warren Empire's hold or business profits but yes, it definitely restricted them to interfere and obviously their position will be lowered by one rank as inboard meetings from now on instead of two leading shareholders there will be three top shareholders above them, George and Jean's two son.

And interestingly, even if any of the major shareholders tried to accumulate shares to take over Blanc Industries or change the CEO they will have to collect more than 29% which is even more impossible as the maximum number of authorized stocks issued by Blanc Industries would never exceed 57% out of which George get 29%, anyhow overall Warren Empire doesn't suffer any loss so, other than that... there's nothing serious to worry about.

Everything was smooth and settled until the night of Jean's public apology in his last press conference was aired on television after which everything switched so drastically that no one had ever imagined.

In the end, Venus Smith made a clean sweep against all odds.

"Onyx!!" shouted a man.

Onyx snapped out of her daze.

Frustrated, Prince motioned his hand towards Louis, and eagerly Louis stood up to leave as he threw a side glance at the beautiful lady beside him to escort Louis out otherwise this man would die a tragic death without a proper reason. Nevertheless, Louis was still needed to keep a tab on Lu Jianjun whenever needed.

With the Onyx's single word, two guys came inside the room and tied up Louis covering his eyes as they drag him towards the door. When Louis was about to step out Onyx asked him something she was doubtful about from the start as she couldn't stop herself from questioning doubt shocking the Prince.

"Louis, Is there some girl staying in Vesallies manor?"

"Who?" Furrowing his brows, Louis promptly asked.

"Any girl named Li Na?" Onyx replied and indeed Louis remembered his last minute's peep talk with Lu Jianjun about a girl named Li Na.

Upon hearing her words, in a swift movement, Prince's chair slightly swung towards Onyx who was seated to his left facing the door, his face lightly turned in door's direction wary enough to not reveal his darkened expressions to anyone.

Louis was puzzled by her sudden question. He thought for a bit. "Yes, there is..." he trailed off as he stresses on remembering ' there is a girl named Li Na who is soon going to be Lu Jianjun's wife.'

Onyx glanced at Prince intently as if saying yo him 'Did I told you she isn't dead. She just disappeared overnight and look where she is...'
