The air instantly became quiet.
The reception room that had been filled with anger was now so silent you could hear a pin drop.
“Pres… President…”
Director Marsh’s face went through a whirlwind of changes.
The security team leader had worked at Titan Group for decades and was extremely familiar with the rules and procedures.
With his skills, he would never recognize the wrong person!
So, was this young man in front of him the new CEO Chairman Cook had mentioned?
Director Marsh thought this was nonsense!
Even if he was Ovidiu Cook’s own son, it was impossible for him to parachute into the CEO position at such a young age!
Although Titan Group was absolutely controlled by the chairman, over the years, everything Ovidiu Cook did was very satisfying to them all.
Any promotions or new hires were decided by everyone’s vote.
For such an important position as CEO, the fact that Ovidiu Cook made a direct appointment was already surprising to them, and if the appointee was a young man, they would really have to wonder if someone was holding a gun to Cook’s head.
Otherwise, the chairman would never make such a foolish mistake!
“Indeed, I am the newly appointed CEO of Titan Group! Here is my work card, please take good care of me in the future!”
Julius Reed smiled as he reached into his chest and handed a black card to Director Marsh.
“This…”
Seeing the black card, Director Marsh’s pupils shrank, tremulously taking it in his hand.
“You… you really are the CEO!”
He blinked his eyes, still unable to believe it was all true!
And he had just spoken insolently to the CEO! If this got back to Ovidiu Cook, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The Titan Group was under the sole control of Ovidiu Cook, and although the chairman was usually good to them, it didn’t mean Cook wasn’t tough!
“President, I apologize for what I just…”
Director Marsh was at a loss for words, standing in place extremely awkwardly.
He had been ranting about driving out the CEO newly appointed by the chairman, wasn’t this digging his own grave?
Julius Reed nodded and did not take issue with him.
“What! Ridiculous! Are you treating this as child’s play at Titan Group?”
Stanislaus Potter exploded again from the sidelines! He came to Titan Group to reach a cooperation with Ovidiu Cook—to directly take down Radcliffe Group without harming each other’s interests!
But now, Julius Reed had suddenly become the CEO of Titan Group and could even represent the chairman’s will!
How could there be any negotiation? What was there to talk about?
Was he supposed to tell Julius Reed to withdraw the funds, to let him bring Reed down, to leave Reed no way out, to force Reed into a dead end?
Only if his brain was broken!
Or if the other party’s brain was waterlogged!
“Call Ovidiu Cook! I want to ask him if he’s playing games with me?”
Stanislaus Potter stood up and roared at Director Marsh.
By doing this, Titan Group was clearly making a fool out of him! Knowing full well the animosity he had towards Julius Reed, they still parachuted the latter in as the CEO of the group and even allowed him to represent the chairman’s will!
He couldn’t understand why Ovidiu Cook would do this?
Once the business war started, it would inevitably lead to a massive evaporation of funds! Titan Group had previously cooperated with Golden Eagle Group, and Stanislaus Potter believed that he had no issues with Ovidiu Cook, so what exactly was going on today?
Didn’t Ovidiu Cook understand that this would just anger him and drag Titan Group down with him?
The foreheads of the other directors nearby were also streaming with cold sweat, having sensed Stanislaus Potter’s anger. Titan Group was now effectively declaring war on Golden Eagle Group!
Even if it didn’t lead to their destruction, it could very well cause Titan Group to lose its leading position in Gonzalez City and allow other companies to overtake them.
“Let me confirm again…”
Director Marsh took a deep breath, getting ready to call Ovidiu Cook.
He couldn’t just watch the company being pushed into the abyss! “You don’t listen to the chairman’s words? Or, do you have a problem with me?”
Julius Reed stared straight at him, his eyes hiding two ice daggers!
“No… President, since you are here, you have full authority!”
As he was looked at in this way, Director Marsh’s hand shook, and he almost dropped his phone on the ground.
For some reason, when he faced this young man, his heart was filled with fear.
“Since everyone has no objections, then I will speak to Boss Potter about our position,”
Julius Reed turned around, smiling at Stanislaus Potter, “First, Titan Group will become a supporter of the Radcliffe Group. Second, as long as you start a war, we are ready to accompany you at any time!”
At these words, everyone’s faces in the room changed dramatically.
Several directors even went weak at the knees and almost fell to the ground.
They believed that even Ovidiu Cook, if he were there, would not dare to speak to Stanislaus Potter in such a manner!
They were very clear about the financial strength of the Golden Eagle Group, which was one of the top enterprises in Five-river Province!
Moreover, with Stanislaus Potter’s extensive experience in business and his many friends in the circle, once a business war started, these people would inevitably stir up trouble from behind!
Although Titan Group was also strong, after withstanding Golden Eagle Group’s retaliation, it would likely decline rapidly.
You must know, in Gonzalez City, there are many companies that have been suffocated by Titan Group, and they have been waiting, for an opportunity to turn the tables!
Once that opportunity comes, those people would pounce like hungry wolves!
The legend of Titan Group might be completely shattered!
“If that’s the case, then I will let you know the consequence of offending Stanislaus Potter!”
Stanislaus Potter clenched his teeth, kicked the table in front of him, and strode out of the reception room.
All he had in mind now was revenge, mad revenge!
Since Ovidiu Cook dared to play him, then Titan Group could just wait to be buried alongside him!
“President… Golden Eagle Group…”
Several directors started to speak but then hesitated. Only now did they realize that the president newly appointed by the chairman was actually the person who broke the legs of Stanislaus Potter’s son!
“Don’t worry, I assure you that your interests will not be harmed in the slightest. ”
Julius Reed smiled, turned, and left the reception room.
Titan Group was just the smallest company under his control, Julius Reed could have Chairman Cook’s position offered anytime if he wished.
Meanwhile, Ovidiu Cook had already rushed to the Ridge Family’s mansion in Five-river Province.
He got out of his Mercedes, looking up at the mansion situated on the mountaintop, feeling utterly astonished.
Such a construction in the clouds would likely be unreachable without spending billions!
Even at the foot of the mountain, it took a considerable amount of time to walk up.
In Five-river Province, the Ridge Family was a legend, a hidden major family!
Only those with a certain degree of status and position would be aware of this family’s existence.
They had no direct involvement in any businesses, but any company with a bit of fame within Five-river Province held shares from them!
In other words, members of the Ridge Family did nothing and could still receive astronomical figures each year!
When Julius Reed told him to visit the Ridge Family, Ovidiu Cook was quite shocked!
Even though he was already the richest man in Gonzalez City, he had no right to step through the entrance of the Ridge Family’s door!
“Who goes there!”
A majestic voice echoed from the sky.
“I am Ovidiu Cook, wishing to visit the Ridge Family Head, Truman Ridge,”
Ovidiu Cook was immediately enveloped in a powerful pressure, making it difficult for him to breathe.
“Ovidiu Cook, you are not yet worthy to step through the doors of the Ridge Family! Leave at once!”
The oppressive voice sounded again from the sky.
“Please convey to the Family Head the message, ‘The traveler returns on the snowy night.’
Ovidiu Cook’s back was already drenched in sweat; holding onto his last hope, he uttered the phrase Julius Reed had taught him.
But he held no illusions, for the Ridge Family was simply too powerful!
Moments later, just as Ovidiu Cook was about to give up and call Julius Reed, a voice came from the sky. “Please come in!”
Bang!
With a loud noise, the mountain before him split open slowly, revealing a massive gate!
