Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2359

Lenard flashed a dirty smile. “Okay, then, if you insist. I shall gracefully accept your invitation, Ms. Young.”

He wrapped his arm around Joan's waist, pinching her and causing her to moan.

Her moan had seemingly sapped away the strength in Lenard.

However, Lenard did not leave right away. He asked, “Ms. Daisy, you came to see me today because you need my help with something, right?”

Daisy shook her head. “Of course not. I just wanted to have a chat with you since it has been long since we last met.”

“Is that so?” Lenard was skeptical.

Daisy smiled faintly. “Of course.”

With a frown, Lenard replied, “How about this? I don't particularly appreciate owing anyone a favor, but I'll make an exception today since I'm greatly pleased. Just tell me what you want, and I'll make it come true if I can. I'll only feel better this way.”

“That's not very nice.”

“Just be straightforward with me. I'll only feel bad if you don't tell me what you want.”

“All right. Speaking of which, I have something I need your help with. Mr. Wayne, do you know Linton Group?”

“Of course. The group is a giant dark horse in Eurasia's business world in recent years. None of the newly founded companies stand a chance against them. Linton Group took less than three years to squeeze its way into the top five hundred companies in the world starting from scratch. This is what we define as a miracle, and for this reason, I doubt there's anyone who doesn't know of Linton Group in Eurasia.”

“Then you should know that Linton Group is in deep trouble right now, yes?”

“Yes. For some reason, Linton Group found itself on bad terms against Intercontinental Group. For this reason, Intercontinental Group launched an all-out retaliation against Linton Group. And as a result, both of them are now badly hurt by their clashes and are on the verge of collapsing. Why? Why do you ask?”

“To be frank, the one retaliating against Linton Group is my boss, and Intercontinental Group is just one of his pawns. He wants to take over Linton Group, so the first thing he has to do is strike them hard.”

“Oh?” Lenard was surprised.

He, for one, knew her boss was not one to be underestimated, but he did not expect him to be so powerful.

To become the man pulling the strings behind the life and death battle between the two most substantial companies in Eurasia, Daisy's boss sure is remarkable.

Lenard asked carefully, “Your boss has achieved what he wants. Linton Group is on the verge of collapsing, so what kind of help do you need from me?”

“Zeke Williams, the boss of Linton Group, is persistent. He didn't want us to acquire Linton Group and is putting up his deathbed struggle. He's also planning to convince Redwood Capital to invest in his company so that he can reclaim his glory once more. As the head of Redwood Capital investment department, I hope you can turn Zeke down when he comes looking for you, Mr. Wayne.”

Hearing this, Lenard burst into laughter.

Daisy was confused. “Why are you laughing, Mr. Wayne?”

“Ms. Daisy, you're smart, but sometimes you are blinded by your smartness. Do you actually think we would invest in Linton Group? As we all know, Linton Group is a mess right now. All that is left of Linton Group is just an empty shell. If anyone wanted to revive the company, they would have to spend a generous amount of money on it, and there would be no guaranteed return. With that money, one could easily start another Linton Group! We would only invest such an enormous amount of money in Linton Group if we were stupid. The return is so minimal, and perhaps there may even be no return at all. With that money, starting another Linton Group will be a much more attractive option to Redwood Capital.”

Daisy heaved a sigh of relief. “Mr. Wayne, your words are very assuring, but I'm still worried. After all, Zeke sounded very confident, which means that he probably has connections with Redwood Capital. If he could put the connections into good use...”
