The person who had asked this question in the group was Bear.
There were 12 people in the Imperial League. Other than King, they were all represented by animal names. No one in the group knew each other, including King. No one was allowed to pry into the privacy of others, so even King didnât know who the other eleven were.
But now, Justin was sure.
Bear was Philip.
He sat on the couch with his long legs crossed. His well-defined fingers tapped the arm of the couch beside him. His long eyes narrowed slightly as a dark light pierced them.
Seeing her expression, Lawrence couldnât help but light a candle for Philipâs funeral in his heart.
This meant the boss was going to set traps again.
He wondered to what extent Philip would be fooled.
As he thought, Justin suddenly smiled and sent a message in the group, âI have.â
As King, it was normal for him to own the shares of the largest company in each country.
No one in the group was suspicious.
Bearâs attitude immediately became respectful. âIâll talk to you privately, sir.â
Justin sat quietly, without changing his expression.
At that moment, Lawrence asked, âBoss, why do you still intend to sell your shares? Arenât you afraid of losing control of the Hunts if you sell them to him?â
gαâηÏνððsâ¤com, your source for inspiration Lawrence knew his boss.
Justin had 51% of the shares in his name and was quite dominant in controlling the direction of the company.
However, there was still 4% in Seanâs name. In addition, King of the Imperial League also controlled 5% of the Hunt shares.
The boss had the shares firmly in his hands. After giving Herman 5%, it appeared that only 46% remained. In reality, however, he still had the final say in the Hunts.
When Justin heard this, he looked at Lawrence and smiled, âIf you offer a high price for this 5% share, I might consider selling.â
The Hunts were just a front for Justin to hide his identity. Compared to the financial group he actually controlled, the Huntâs assets were merely a drop in the ocean.
Lawrence: ââ¦â
He understood! The boss was asking a sky-high price. While he was thinking, indeed, Bear sent a private message, âCould you name a price? I want that stock.â
Justin was about to extort him when another message suddenly appeared in the group.
Cat: âCan you sell them to me? Iâm willing to pay a high price.â
Justin: â?â
Lawrence, who was watching stealthily, was stunned. âWho is this, isnât Philip the one called Bear, or is it Cat?â
Justin was also confused, but quickly said, âNo.â
He was the one who had personally invited Gato to the Imperial League. He considered himself new blood in the Imperial League because he didnât want the Imperial League to always be controlled by those old fogeys.
Times were changing. Five years ago, he had realized that Black Cat had emptied certain stocks without anyone noticing. Then, he had made $75 million. The stock had stabilized. This person was very talented in business, but he was also very measured.
He had only made $75 million before he became invisible. After that, she was no longer greedy.
Justin had admired her a lot at that time, so he personally invited her to the Imperial League.
At the Imperial League, Cat rarely spoke. Justin had been watching all these years to see if there was any big business. After all, the information in the Imperial League made it possible to win without even trying.
However, he noticed that there were none.
This made Justin admire Gato even more. He felt that this person could resist the temptation of money.
How could he expect Nora to try to earn more money when she just wanted to sleep and wasnât free at all? Besides, she had always thought that $75 million was enough!
Justin knew Philip wasnât Cat, but he didnât understand why he was suddenly out to make trouble.
As he was thinking, someone else jumped in.
Eagle: âI want to ask about the price too. We can give it to the highest bidder.â
Lawrence was confused and couldnât help but look at Justin. He was silent for a long time before he said, âBoss, how many people have you offended?â.
Justin: ââ¦â
He wanted to know what was wrong with Eagle too!
Bear: âNo matter how much they are willing to pay, I can raise the price by 20%.â
Justin stared at the Imperial League group. For the first time, he felt things were a little out of control.
ð ð ð ð ð
At the Smiths.
Joel looked at his phone for a moment before looking at Ian and reporting, âIndeed, there is someone in the group buying the stock. Dad, youâre very perceptive. But is it really that hard to deal with Philip? Raising the price by 20% is simply too much.â
Ian narrowed his eyes and said, âPhilip is definitely in the Imperial League. More than 30 years ago, I tried my best to join this group. When I joined the group, Bear was already there. The group is full of torches that are passed down from generation to generation. When I joined the group, there were only eight people. Over the years, more people joined until there were 12 in total. All the members of the group are tycoons. Donât underestimate them.
Joel nodded to show that he had learned something.
Ian had passed on the Eagle account to him. Everyone said he was not Ianâs son. The outside world said Ian didnât treat Joel as someone with power. He had only given him a share of his shares, and his shares were only given to him to manage.
However, Joel knew in his heart that Ian had truly treated him as his heir.
It was because the head of the Smiths didnât want to inherit those shares, but this account!
Over the years, he had been in charge of the Smiths and finally understood how important this account was.
Joel nodded with respect.
Ian asked again, âHow much liquid capital is in my account?â
Joel sighed. âItâs only in the tens of millions, but I still have it in my account. Besides, I can still cash out some of it. Iâll sell some shares if I have to. Letâs think of a way and help Justin get over this hurdle.â
After saying that, he was silent for a moment and asked, âDad, is it possible for Justin to be in the group, too?â
Ian waved his hand. âThere is an unwritten rule in the group. Only one person from each country can come in. There are two people from New York, but Cat is of English descent and can be considered British.â
Joel sighed. âIn the future, if there are any important leads or intelligence, Justin needs to be told. Otherwise, he wonât be able to deal with Philip.â
âYes.â
Ian took a deep breath. âTake better care of him in the future so that Nora can have a higher status at home!â.
Joel agreed. Elsewhere, in the bedroom.
Nora lay on the bed and stared at the group message.
At first she had wanted to compete with him. Even though she only had $75 million, what if she could buy 0.01% of the stock?
In the end, she was too tired. She passed out in the blink of an eye so she never opened her eyes again.

When he woke up again, three days had passed.
He stretched lazily. When he went downstairs, he happened to see Simon and Melissa downstairs talking to Ian. There was even Justin sitting next to him.
Simon: ââ¦I have some money here too. Although itâs not much, itâs a token of my sincerity. However, when we buy the Hunt shares, we have to write Noraâs name on it. Justin, donât overthink it. After all, youâre not married yet. Of course, I donât intend for you to be controlled by Nora.â
Justin said humbly, âUncle, itâs not necessary at the moment.â
However, Melissa called out his name. âAlthough it is said that husband and wife should have the same heart without thinking of benefiting each other, and we are not trying to sow discord, a woman cannot depend on a man. With these actions, even if she has a change of heart in the future, she would have to consider it carefully.â
Justin: ââ¦â
Change of heart?
How would that be possible? What worried him now was that Nora would change her mind.
He waved his hand and said, âAunt Melissa, I canât have a change of heart.â
He was high and mighty, he would have anyoneâs head down no matter who saw him. Only Ian and Joel could be on equal footing with him, but right now, he was just a junior!
Justin sighed quietly. He had only come to see if Nora was awake-why was he casually bumping into Simon and Melissa?
As he thought, Ian smiled confidently. âEven without the Huntâs actions, Nora wonât be bullied at the Huntâs. Donât worry, the Smiths are confident.â
This behavior stunned them.
Simon thought about it and suddenly realized something. At first he didnât plan to mention it, but he looked at Justin and whispered, âCould it be that the Smiths really know that big shot like in the legends?â
Melissa was stunned. âWhat big shot?â
Simon smiled. âWeâre jokingly talking about a legend. The richest man in the world is said to keep a very low profile. Outside, everyone calls him King.â
Melissa was stunned. âIs there really such a person?â
Simon shook his head. âI donât know. Iâll have to ask Ian.â
Ian, however, revealed a deep smile and did not speak.
Simon immediately understood and looked at Justin. âYouâre very lucky, kid. If thatâs the case, even if youâre really kicked out of the Hunts, youâll be able to rely on the business opportunity your father-in-law got from King to start over! Donât be afraid.â
Justin: â???â
Nora, who was upstairs: â???
