Chapter 761: Chapter 761 Good Idea

Leslie’s face did not change. Naturally, he could feel Mark’s disrespect. However, now, what he hoped most in his heart was to take this opportunity to bring Eudora back to their cooperation.

Therefore, he ignored the situation.

Instead, Leslie said, “Since you’ve asked, then let me tell you something. You don’t have a deep hatred for the Valiant East Group. Thomas deserved the consequences for what he had done. I think that this matter is over. Let Amos go. I’ll talk to the Granger family about it, and they won’t trouble you in the future. Isn’t it good for both sides to mind their own business and not offend each other?”

Hearing his words, Mark let out a cold laugh.

“Uncle Clarke, you’ve got it all wrong this time! Thomas’ life was also a human’s life. Why is Thomas’ punishment his own fault?”

Leslie frowned and felt that Mark was belittling him.

Leslie’s assistant, Raymond also immediately raised his hand.

He pointed at Mark, “How dare you act so brash! Have you forgotten how you had begged Mr. Clarke to help you? How dare you talk to him like this now?”

Mark glanced at the finger. In the next second, he raised his hand, grabbed hold of the finger, and forcefully pulled it down.

There was a loud crack!

“Ahh!!!” Raymond screamed in pain.

The people around Leslie immediately rushed forwards and surrounded Mark.

The men behind Mark suddenly took out their guns and pointed them at the crowd.

“Don’t move!”

Leslie had just come out of prison and had been keeping a low profile recently. He had put away all his tools and weapons for the time being.

Being suddenly pointed guns at like this, they did not even have the time to retrieve them! For that moment, they could only stand there and wait to be slaughtered.

Mark reached out his hand to release his cufflinks, walked to the front of Leslie, and looked down at him.

“Uncle Clarke, I call you so because I have manners. However, it doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of you! Why do other people already know that I had just been taking advantage of you, but you can’t see through me even now. Do you still think that I depend on you? Aren’t you too simple-minded? How can you lead an organization like this?”

Leslie probably did not expect that one day he would be threatened by a minion who had once knelt in front of him and asked for help.

Additionally, he had also lost all of his dignity in front of so many people.

His face was livid, and his fingers trembled with anger, “You b*stard!”

The corners of Mark’s lips curled up, “I’m a b*stard? This is considered well-mannered for me already! If I were a real b*stard, I wouldn’t have come to your so-called arrangement today!”

After that, he turned around frivolously and looked at Eudora.

“You’re Mrs. Granger, right? Since you’ve made a bet, I hope you can fulfill it! I don’t care about these so-called seniors at all! Otherwise, you can come and collect Amos’s corpse instead!”

After Mark finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Eudora suddenly walked forward and slapped his face, a loud smacking sound echoing through the room.

“Mark Shelby! Let’s see if you dare to touch my husband! Even if I have to risk my life by then, I’ll make sure to bring you to the gates of hell with me!”

Mark was directly stunned by the slap. The woman in front of him appeared very thin and weak. However, to his surprise, the expression in her eyes was as determined as a wolf’s.

Her eyes were flashing red. When facing him, she was even more imposing than Leslie.

“Did you hear that? Even if I have to fight with Valiant East and Tyly Group, I will fight with you till the end!”

Seeing this, the bodyguards behind Mark rushed up and glared at Eudora.

“You beat our boss? Do you want to die?”

Eudora raised her hand and slapped the two bodyguards as well, “You’re the ones looking for death!”

Raymond immediately said, “This is the new heir appointed by Mr. Clarke.”

The two bodyguards hesitated a little. They dared to disrespect Leslie here, but attacking him was a whole different matter they did not dare to do!

It was not a big deal to beat his subordinates, but if they really beat their boss up, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mark rubbed his painful cheeks and called the two bodyguards coldly.

“Come back!”

Then, he smiled and looked at Eudora.

“Well, let’s wait and see!”

…

After Mark left, Leslie swept the cup off the table.

“He’s gone too far. That b*stard actually took advantage of me!”

Eudora remained silent. Leslie turned to Eudora and said, “Don’t worry. Although he is very arrogant now, he’ll save some face for our organization. As long as you are a member of our organization, he won’t dare to harm Amos in the slightest bit. I’ll ask someone to investigate immediately and find Amos as soon as possible.”

Eudora nodded. She had actually been thinking the same. Otherwise, she would not have admitted that she was the next person in charge of the organization in front of Mark just then.

Leslie said, “I’ll ask someone to gather all the people in the organization immediately. Let’s meet everyone.”

Eudora shook her head, “There’s no need. We’ll talk about that another day!”

Amos’s life was uncertain at the moment, and she did not want to care about anything else.

In the next few days, Eudora asked Leslie to arrange for people to look for Amos while she also tried to find an opportunity to defeat Mark.

It was just that this time, Mark was truly prepared. She had busied herself for so many days, yet she was still unable to find anything.

In the blink of an eye, it was the last day.

The stock of Valiant East Group was in a mess. It could be seen that most of it had been bought away by Mark.

In the morning, Clint came in to give his report.

“Mark and the others have the mindset of gamblers. Now, it’s not only our company that has been affected but also others’. Looking at this situation, they want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big fortune and start an empire from scratch!”

Eudora’s heart was bleak like never before. Clint saw that she did not speak and thought that she was still worried about Amos, so he fell silent.

Just as he was about to leave, Eudora suddenly called out to him.

“Did you just say that they had also bought other company’s shares?”

“Yes! All the decent shares in the market have been bought out by him. They’re manipulating the market! As long as the stock prices increase to the highest when the market closes today, their wealth will be multiplied by more than 100 times!”

Clint added in a worried tone, “Plus, we don’t even know where or how President Granger is now!”

Eudora frowned. Archer knocked on the door from outside and came in.

“Miss George, a man named Mr. Conway wants to see you!”

At that moment, Wesley was already standing outside and he waved to Eudora.

“Madam, I’ve come up with a good idea!”

Eudora’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly called out to him.

“Come in!”

Clint was also elated, “Wesley, what kind of a good idea have you thought of?”

Wesley silently handed the newspapers in his hand to Clint.

“Look!”

It was a report about the Astavan virus. Wesley pointed to one of the reports and said, “This virus is very strong and has been spreading quickly to several cities. Under such a disaster, the stock price will definitely drop sharply…”

Wesley looked at Clint and Eudora with burning eyes. Clint suddenly understood what he was implying.

“So, if we take advantage of this opportunity and operate like Mark, we’ll find a lot of people to go short! We might drag the stock market down. By that time, Mark will lose everything!”

Clint stopped for a second.

He frowned again, “But, where can we find a person with so much wealth to carry out the short selling?”

Wesley and Clint sighed.

Just then, Eudora suddenly exclaimed, “There is someone who can do that!”
