Chapter 779

Chapter 779 Winnie Apologizes “I invited everyone here for tea. Please make yourself at home!”

Hudson entered the room with a grand disposition and signaled everyone to take their seats.

“Master Hudson, Melrose’s kingpin, Steve and his son, were murdered last night by the Twin Ghosts. Is the Vinland family involved?” asked a family head of a first–tier family.

The question felt out of line but he could not control his curiosity.

The others looked at Hudson curiously.

Hudson smiled and said, “I know them.”

The answer Hudson provided was profound and it struck the hearts of everyone present.

Hudson cherished his reputation more than anything, so there was no way he would admit it.

However, his claim to know them explained a lot.

A number of guests reacted strangely.

Lefteria Group wiped out Dallas Moneylender in Lilyrose and Hudson responded by killing Steve and Sully in Melrose.

After Steve stepped down, he supported Miru in taking over his empire in Melrose.

Just as Lefteria Group started to gain momentum in Melrose, the ex–kingpin was killed.

It was obvious and threatening.

The Twin Ghosts killed Steve and his men. Two of them were able to infiltrate the heavily guarded estate and wipe out everyone.

If Hudson brought them over to Lilyrose, then the consequences would be dire.

The people from the underworld started to revere or even be afraid of Hudson knowing that he was the one behind it.

“We are here in Lilyrose, having tea. Let’s not talk about Melrose for now.”

Hudson then asked, “Is Shangrila Group here?”

Everyone went silent.

They did not expect Hudson to cut straight to the point.

The conflict between the Quints and the Vinlands started because of Shangrila Group. Winnie tried to lay a low profile by sitting in the back.

When she was cued, she got up and stepped forward to bow at Hudson.

+15 BONUS “I am the CEO of Shangrila Group, Winnie Souffle.”

“Oh? So Kaze decided to hide behind a woman?”

Hudson chuckled and said, “Ms. Souffle, why did you come here?”

Everyone looked at Winnie, which made her even more nervous.

She bit the bullet and looked at Hudson.

“Master Hudson, on behalf of Shangrila Group, I am here to apologize. We will pay for your daughter and her friends‘ medical fees and we will compensate you with the shares of Golden Edge. I ask for your forgiveness.”

Winnie was sincere in her apology. She even presented the share transfer contract to show her sincerity.

Hudson would get the shares of Golden Edge if he signed on it.

Everyone else in the room gasped. They did not expect Shangrila Group to be so bold by giving away Golden Edge, which they bought for three billion.

“Ms. Souffle, is this your idea, or Kaze Lee’s idea?” Hudson asked with a smile.

He also signaled his men to take the share transfer contract to have a better look.

“It’s the company’s idea,” Winnie said.

“What do you guys think?”

Hudson looked at Dexter and Jake.

“You think paying us off is enough?”

Dexter glared at Winnie and said coldly, “Aside from the fact that Shangrila Group challenged Yume multiple times, you also challenged the Vinland family’s pride. Kaze Lee even disfigured my daughter. I won’t just let it go so easily!

“I am the chairman of Blueray Corporation! What gives Kaze Lee to challenge my pride and status?!”
