No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 123

Caroline was also stunned. She even forgot to dodge. She was slapped by Peter heavily.

Her hair was awry and the corners of her mouth bleeding soon.

However, Caroline’s eyes glazed over still. She stared at Benedict dully as if she was unconscious.

“Have you lost your tongue? Spit it out all!”

Peter flew into a rage and roared at Caroline ceaselessly.

Caroline then realized the situation. She covered her face with her hand and looked at Peter with fear. She did not dare to disobey him at all, so she spit it out. She explained how she communicated with Benedict in the hotel about the construction project in full detail to Peter.

Everything was clear then. The construction project was approved by the superior leaders and covered with the official seal. It was confidential and was not appropriate to mention more details. Therefore, Caroline implied it vaguely. If Benedict was the owner of the International Commerce Center, he would certainly understand what Caroline mentioned.

Peter did the same. He also had to give Benedict a hint instead of speaking freely. As a result, Benedict thought they were mentioning the projects of the Hudson family, so he agreed to their request cheerfully.

Flop....

Hearing Caroline’s words, Peter slumped on the couch helplessly as if he lost all his strength.

He was listless and pale.

He felt he was an idiot. All his efforts and expenses went for nothing.

Benedict who kept silent eventually understood. What they wanted was the construction project other than the projects related to his family.

“What kind of construction project are you talking about?”

He looked at Peter and Caroline surprisingly and asked, “There are no construction projects related to our family.”

Whoosh....

Hearing what Benedict said, Peter sat straight up and asked, “Aren’t you the owner of the International Commerce Center? How can you not have known the construction project?”

It even showed a little anxiety in Peter’s words.

Benedict also became surprised. He stared at Peter and asked, “Who told you I am the owner of the International Commerce Center?”

Bang....

Suddenly Peter’s mind went completely blank as if a thump was given on his body.

He stared at Benedict with surprise, “Kate said you are the owner of the International Commerce Center.”

“Kate? Miss Lawson?”

For a moment there was a stern glance in Benedict’s eyes. Then he seemed to understand something. His eyes suddenly became compassionate, “Actually Kate might be right too. I was the owner of the International Commerce Center before. It was in the past.”

“What....”

Peter’s pupils shrank and he was completely dumbfounded.

Benedict continued, “I was the previous owner of the International Commerce Center. I sold it to Justin Cox long ago. Recently I heard Justin sold the International Commerce Center.”

Caroline’s body also gave out, so she fell to the couch. She was extremely confused. Owing to her disordered thinking, she slurred her words to speak to herself.

“He is not the owner of the International Commerce Center. Who is the real owner of the International Commerce Center now....”

Benedict did not comfort Peter. He walked away.

As the elevator went down floor by floor, Benedict’s face became more and more overcast.

“It seemed that somebody has taken advantage of me as well....”

“Haha!”

Then he roared with laughter, “Interesting, quite interesting! There are hidden figures in the small city Emerdale!”

In the meantime at the top floor of the International Commerce Center.

Leo sat on the seat that belonged to the chairman, and Forrest stood aside respectfully.

The famous head of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce could only stand like a secretary. The business community of Emerdale would be very much shocked if it got out.

“Mr. Cohen, now Peter knew Benedict is the fake owner of the International Commerce Center.”

Forrest reported to Leo in detail, “Now his angry outburst and broke down the relationship with Benedict.”

Leo smiled noncommittally. He was not surprised at the result.

After he meditated in perfect silence for a while, he continued, “What exactly does Benedict do as he comes to Emerdale?”

“It seemed that the Hudson family got into a bit of trouble in City S. They wanted to open the market in Emerdale. Therefore they intended to cooperate with Kate. They wanted to gain support from Kate.”

“Kate....”
