Thea was still in a daze.
Everything that just happened was unbelievable.
The Hills formed a circle around her.
Cyrus asked puzzledly, “What’s going on, Thea? That was Richard Xenos we’re talking about, the patriarch of the family. He’s someone with assets worth hundreds of billions! Why was he kneeling before you?”
“That’s right, Thea. How influential are you exactly?”
“Who’s the one helping you out behind the scenes?”
“Why did Richard Xenos seem so afraid of you?”
The Hills chimed in.
Thea was puzzled too.
However, she assumed it was the mysterious Mr. Caden working his magic in the shadows.
She did not know he would be so influential that even Richard Xenos of North Cansington would be fearful of him.
Whew!
Thea took a deep breath.
Her head was spinning. She did not want to think about this anymore.
“I-It’s nothing. By the way, a word of caution here. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today. He’s the patriarch of the Xenoses worth hundreds of billions, after all. If word spreads, his reputation will be ruined. With the power and influence of the Xenoses, crushing us is just child’s play.”
After warning them, she stood up to leave.
Her head started spinning with just a few steps.
James caught her in time.
With James carrying her, she left the room.
The Hills glanced at each other.
“Cyrus, is Thea really that influential?”
“That was Richard, the man capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, and he was kneeling on the floor like an obedient dog. It’s unbelievable.”
Cyrus sat on a chair and lit a cigarette.
Though he had met countless bigwigs throughout his life as a businessman, he had never seen Richard before. That was because he was not yet qualified to do so with the number of assets in his possession.
He did not expect Richard to kneel on the floor and obediently fork over two billion dollars.
A hundred million per glass?
Truly terrifying.
