Chapter 1298

“I’m sorry.” Rowan shook his head. “From now on, the tower has been sealed. No one is allowed to enter or exit without permission. Everything inside is also considered a state secret and is forbidden to be removed.”

What?

Lacey was enraged.

It was bad enough that the building was requisitioned. But the military had sealed all their belongings and company documents along with it.

The soldiers were making things difficult on purpose.

If Lacey couldn’t retrieve the company’s documents, Linton Group could not function as usual and the company could collapse.

Deep down, Lacey had the feeling that Rowan was targeting them on purpose.

Trying to pry further, she asked, “How long do you need to requisition the building for?”

Rowan smirked, “There’s no time limit.”

With that, Lacey confirmed her suspicions that the Linton Group was being deliberately targeted.

However, she didn’t know who Rowan was or why he was acting against the group?

Lowering her voice, she asked, “We don’t seem to know each other and have no quarrel. Why are you targeting us?”

Rowan shot a glance at the tower. “Let’s speak somewhere private?”

She followed him back into the building.

Rowan explained coldly, “There is no bad blood between you and me. But, you have offended someone really powerful. That man wants to destroy you.”

Lacey inquired, “Who is that?”

Rowan replied, “He is someone you don’t even deserve to know about. However, I must warn you that once he takes action, Linton Group will collapse and you will not receive any compensation. I’ll give you a chance now to mitigate your losses.”

Rowan passed Lacey a contract.

“What is this?”

Holding the contract in her hands, Lacey went through it in detail.

She was infuriated when she finally finished reading it.

Rowan wanted to buy over the Linton Group for two hundred million, while the market value of the group was more than a hundred billion.

It was pure banditry.

Outraged, Lacey slammed the contract on the table. “Hmph, this is daylight robbery. I will never agree.”

“Very well.” Rowan sneered repeatedly, “In that case, let me see how long you can hold out for. All the company’s documents, data, and accounts have been sealed. Even the building itself is lost. Can you last ten days? If I can’t get my hands on the group, I’ll destroy it.”

Lacey walked out of the building feeling dejected.

She knew what Rowan said was true. They wouldn’t last ten days.

Meanwhile, Dawn ran up to her and asked, “Lacey, what did you discuss?”

“He wants to buy over the company for two hundred million.”

Dawn was outraged. “Linton Group is worth at least a hundred billion! Buying it for two hundred million is daylight robbery! Lacey, don’t worry, I’ll give my brother a call. He is a field officer in the army, perhaps he can be of some help.”

Lacey sighed as she gave Zeke a call.

Now that his life force was destroyed, he was no longer the same Great Marshal as he used to be.

Would he be able to turn the tables on the enemy again?

At that same moment, Zeke was listening to Wolf’s Greed’s report, together with Mr. Collins, who gave it his full attention.

It was because Wolf’s Greed’s report had something to do with the massacre of the Seal Mercenaries.

Wolf’s Greed explained, “Rowan Krate, is responsible for Eurasia’s Third Military Factory. This factory specializes in the development and production of new weapons. Now, we have gotten our hands on evidence that proves Rowan was smuggling weapons and selling state secrets. Zeke, should we dispose of him immediately?”
