Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 455

“I’m a Platinum member of this club…” Matthew responded in a way that seemed off-topic, but in reality, he had addressed my question without directly answering it.

The Global Commerce Guild.

A networking feast for the crème de la crème of billionaires.

This was a place where many dreamt of entering but few could. Here, it wasn’t just about having substantial assets; prospective members were also evaluated on their intelligence, financial strength, capabilities, and social standing.

In other words, a playground for the capital elite.

Matthew was essentially telling Colin and me that to get closer to the truth, we needed to penetrate this exclusive club.

“Getting in isn’t easy,” Matthew said, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. “In the entire Sea City Commerce Guild, only the enigmatic CEO behind All-Stars Consortium ranks above me… a Platinum member. Dexter from the Fitzgerald Group, on his mother Hailey’s recommendation, is also a Platinum member.”

Matthew chuckled before continuing. “Back in the day, Ethan Langley was a figure who could have made it into the top ten of the guild. Just imagine… in all of Sea City, he was one of a kind. My father wanted Ethan to introduce him, but Ethan refused every time. My father thought Ethan looked down on him, which led to bad blood between them. Now, standing in this position has become something he can boast about.”

The rift within the Langley family probably started around then. Henry was ambitious and vain, always looking to climb higher.

The Global Commerce Guild I knew of controlled the global economic pulse. Only by gaining entry could one leverage the powerful connections and resources within to pave their own path…

In essence, becoming a member meant that even if you started with nothing, as long as you had exceptional skills in a certain area, you could rise above the rest.

Whether it was in medicine, science, or any field…

The guild’s membership tiers were incredibly strict, with the top ranks occupied by global moguls – the kind you’d only hear about in the news. These were the true titans of the capital world, capable of turning the tide at will.
