Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 429

Mister Taft fell silent for a while before saying, "What's the matter?"

"Mister Taft, the company my father founded is on the brink of collapse. Please, Mister Taft. I need your help."

"I don't know how to run a business."

"Let me explain, Mister Taft. It's Maniac. He's been taking over Anya City and doing whatever he wants to ever since you went into solitude to cultivate. My son was just beaten to death, so I sent his killer to prison. However, Maniac's been using that as an excuse to attack me, and I'm now on the verge of bankruptcy. Please help me, Mister Taft. I've been incredibly wronged."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, it is. There wasn't much Maniac could do to me before, but I think he's got someone supporting him in secret this time. Even the authorities are staying out of this. Maniac's been wreaking havoc everywhere he goes and taking advantage of his power as an Aura level cultivator. I don't know what else I can do."

"Aura level? Ha ha ha ha!" Mister Taft barked out a laugh, shaking his head. "It seems like anyone can call themselves a top dog these days."

"That's right, Mister Taft! Anya City isn't the same without you. If you help me out, I'm willing to pay you five hundred million dollars in appreciation and call you my godfather. Viewspring Corp's will be yours after this too."

"Oh?" Mister Taft looked surprised.

A moment later, he let out a chuckle. "I was going to help even if you didn't say anything. It seems like these people are becoming more arrogant lately after I haven't run the underground circle in such a long time. I'm now a Sanctuary level cultivator and plan to make a grand re-appearance. We can start from your situation. After all, I did know your father rather well."

"Thank you, Mister Taft!" Joel could not hold back his joy as he bowed repeatedly.

He had pulled out all the stops this time. The person Maniac was working for sounded immensely powerful and Joel knew he would not be any match for them himself.

Instead of going bankrupt, Joel figured that a better way to go about this was to find someone to help. Even though it would result in him becoming a pawn in the future, it would be better than losing everything.

Besides, the death of his son was one that had to be avenged no matter what. Otherwise, he'd have no other point in living.

Just then, Mister Taft said, "Zachary, you can go with Joel. Gather all the higher-ups of Anya City here at Pureheart Villa by tomorrow. I've got an announcement to make."
