The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 41

"Lancer, has the invitation for Coliree Group's pre-bid conference been sent out?"

"The invitations haven't been officially sent out, Boss."

"What's with the Lawson Family, then? How come they've already received two invitations?"

To that, Lancer explained, "A few of the big families and conglomerates in Cleapolis are on the insider's list."

"Whose decision is this?"

Hearing the displeasure in Kingsley's tone, Lancer hurriedly explained, "Boss, Hades and I have been busy scouting for the enemies' spies. Daniel Robinson is currently in charge of the company's affairs, and he's the best at trading amongst all the soldiers on Coliree Island. He might not stand out in the military, but he's definitely a force to be reckoned with in the marketplace. The enemies certainly won't be able to see through it!"

"Daniel Robinson?" Kingsley ordered.

"Whoever made the decision, withdraw the Lawsons' invitations immediately!" "Yes, Boss!"

Lancer wouldn't ask questions but only follow orders.

After hanging up, Kingsley checked his watch. "Today's the twenty-third. I want to see you set up a live stream and eat sh*t by the end of this month."

At that, the crowd began whispering again.

"Why does it feel like this dude is out of his mind? Could it be that he has experienced some kind of trauma and has gone nuts?"

"He surely has! If his one call can influence Coliree Group, would he need to drive such a janky car?"

"I bet he has been boasting for so long that he's beginning to believe his own words. Typical delusional behavior!"

Likewise, Peter looked at Kingsley as though he was some madman. "You act well, I'll give you that. If Caleb hadn't wanted to kick your a*s, I'd love to continue watching you act like a mad dog!"

The crowd burst into laughter once again, extolling Peter for calling Kingsley a mad dog.

On a high, Peter wanted to continue his taunts, but his phone suddenly rang at this time.

With that, he answered it. "Hey, Dad. What's up?"

"What's up?! Get the f*ck home now, that's what! We're in big trouble!" A voice thundered the moment Peter finished his words, causing his ears to buzz. "What happened, Dad?" he asked, baffled.

"Coliree Group just withdrew our invitation! We've lost all our chances!" The head of the Lawson Family roared so loudly that everyone close by heard him.

The news left Peter dumbfounded, and so did everyone else.

The Lawsons' invitations have really been withdrawn!

Peter's face blanched instantly, and his hand holding the phone began shaking uncontrollably as well. "Dad, I-I don't know anything about this... Did Coliree Group say why?"

Meanwhile, he looked toward Kingsley in horror, and he thought his heart would jump out of his chest at any second.

Could it really be... because of that phone call?! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Shock and awe enveloped everyone's gazes as their jaws dropped, looking like imbeciles.

None of them believed a penniless young man such as Kingsley could actually shake up Coliree Group's decision.

It was Coliree Group, for heaven's sake!

This company was considered the prime existence in the six provinces of the north!

Just then, Peter's father spoke. "They didn't say why, but if I were to guess, it might have something to do with our company's drop in sales! Stop fooling around with your scoundrel friends and come back

home at once!"

It was at that that Peter huffed a murky breath.

He could finally relax now.

It doesn't matter as long as it isn't because of that phone call... Phew, what a relief!

"Got it, Dad. I'll go back as soon as I help Caleb take out the trash!"

After hanging up, he roared at Kingsley with arms akimbo, saying, "D*mn, I nearly let you get away with it! You've got dumb luck, though. Coliree Group happens to be readjusting their policy."

With that, he scrutinized Kingsley's austere clothing and janky ride, and he scolded himself for having such ridiculous thoughts.

The crowd was relieved after hearing Peter's words too. "What did I say? How can that broke loser be that powerful? He just got lucky!"

However, Paige turned grim. She didn't think the honored guest of their family her father had insisted on was really a penniless loser with dumb luck.

"You made me break into a cold sweat.

You'd better kneel and apologize today, or I'm going to come after you!"

Peter took a step forward and balled his hand, intending to punch Kingsley in the face.

He thought he had humiliated himself when he showed his flustered side out in public.

However, before he could even land his punch, Kingsley had already raised his right foot and booted him right on the chest.

Thump! Peter was sent flying a couple of yards away, crashing into an SUV right behind him. At once, he spewed a mouthful of blood.
