King's Awakening

However, just when the Jones Family’s people thought that the family would rise again and their family’s entrance would become as crowded as a marketplace, David Herb and others publicly announced the withdrawal of funds from the New Nezzi City project, which caused an uproar in Sayon.

The next morning, the Jones Family’s people decorated the house with lamps and streamers, preparing to welcome guests. The grandeur of the preparation was even more magnificent than Old Madam Jones’ eightieth birthday celebration.

But just when the Jones Family’s people were full of joy, Mori Jones, who is busy socializing, turns pale.

“Fuck! Amanda announced the withdrawal of funds!” Mori Jones furiously approached Madam Jones and blurted out.

Hearing this, Old Madam Jones laughed dismissively, “So what if little Nan Xiaodu withdraws her funds? It won’t make a big difference; Longman Jack is still there, isn’t he? What’s there to fear?

Even if by some chance Longman Jack withdraws his investment too, there’s still David Herb.

Funding issues, we need not worry.”

Hearing this, Mori Jones nodded heavily, but he was still secretly uneasy.

As a result, before his nerves had a chance to settle, a phone call came directly to his cell phone.

“I better not go today. Longman Jack says he’s withdrawing injection. I want to wait and see.” A friend of Mori Jones’ candidly spoke.

“What!? Longman Jack is also withdrawing his investment!?” Mori Jones immediately frowned, his face black as the bottom of a pot.

Old Madam Jones was somewhat stunned when she heard this news; she had not expected her casual remark would come true and Longman Jack would also withdraw his investment.

Nan Xiaodu, Longman Jack, both withdrawing in succession!

This wasn’t good news for the Jones family, but thankfully, Sayon’s richest man, David Herb was still there.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Jones reassured, “Don’t worry, characters like Nan Xiaodu and Longman Jack, who can’t appear on stage, we might have been a bit apprehensive of them in the past.

But now, with our Jones Family’s foundation, these people in our eyes are no more than jesters.

Let them make their commotion. As long as we maintain a good relationship with David Herb, with the Royal Group’s hundreds of billions of assets, we have nothing to worry about.”

Hearing this, Mori Jones nodded again, but he still felt a hint of uneasiness.

How could it be such a coincidence that Nan Xiaodu and Longman Jack, withrew their investment at the same time?

If at this time, David Herb also withdraws his investment, then the Nezzi New City project would only have Beckett as the only investor left.

However, it’s well known that Beckett was once White Mitchell’s sworn brother.

Even though Beckett is just doing someone else’s bidding, there’s no guarantee that he won’t stir up trouble in front of his boss.

Thinking about this, Mori Jones involuntarily picked up his cell phone and started to inquire about the movements of the Royal Group.

However, to his surprise, this investigation scared him so much that he started trembling.

David Herb had withdrawn his investment!

David Herb really announced the withdrawal of his investment!

Whoosh!

Mori Jones immediately felt his scalp numb and he, like a soulless being, looked anxiously at Old Madam Jones, “Mom, there’s big trouble, David Herb has withdrawn his investment!”

What!?

On hearing this, Old Madam Jones nearly dropped her eyeballs from shock. Her face suddenly tensed and she remained absolutely still where she stood.

“How… how is this possible? This project was originally publically accepted through their Royal Group’s bidding. The Royal Group is one of the largest investors in the Nezzi New City project.

Why would they possibly withdraw their investment? Don’t they fear that the Nezzi Command may cause them trouble for doing this?

What on earth is going on? Mori, get to the bottom of this, hurry and find out!” Old Madam Jones urged in panic.

Suddenly, the entire Jones family was thrown into chaos.

Just a moment ago, they were cheerfully preparing to welcome their guests and dreaming of the rise of the Jones Family. Now, in less than ten minutes, everything had changed.

The funds were gone, the dream shattered!

This must be what they call going from joy to sorrow.

Regaining his senses, Mori Jones hurriedly went to dig out more information.

Finally, through a few friends, it was learned that all of this was orchestrated by Beckett.

Beckett started to withdraw his investment, and subsequently, all the wealthy families who had originally invested in Nezzi New City also began to withdraw their investments.

“This must be White Mitchell stirring up trouble behind the scenes. It’s definitely his doing, making Beckett act out like this. It has to be him, has to be him!!!” Will Jones said through gritted teeth.

Withdrawals, everyone is making withdrawals, now, Nezzi New City is a bloody empty shell of a project, without a dime of funding available.

Without funds, how the hell are they supposed to develop anything?

Even if they were to sell off every asset of the Jones family, they still wouldn’t be able to fill such a gaping financial hole.

This was a chasm which reached into the hundreds of billions!

For a moment, everyone in the Jones Family was filled with grief and resentment, their faces filled with bitter hatred; they all felt like skinning and ripping apart White Mitchell.

Just as everyone in the Jones Family was expressing their deep hatred towards White Mitchell, Lisa Jones appeared with Wu Lao amidst them.

Seeing everyone in the Jones Family looking anxious, Lisa Jones’s face turned cold, she said with some disgust: “What’s the matter? All messy and disorderly, is this how we conduct ourselves? Has the sky fallen in or what?

Looking at you all like this, how can I trust you to handle Nezzi New City?

Perhaps, I should consider assigning other people to take over your work.”

Upon hearing the voice, members of the Jones Family immediately turned around and looked at Lisa Jones with a mournful expression.

Old Madam Jones leaning on her cane, pitifully said: “Miss, it’s not that the sky has fallen, but it’s almost the same, withdrawal of investments. All the investors in Nezzi New City have announced their withdrawal.

We are out of money; the whole of Nezzi New City, a project of such size, doesn’t have a single penny left.

What can we use to develop it with…”

Withdrawing the investment?

Upon hearing this, Lisa Jones furrowed her brow and asked for the whole story from the members of the Jones family.

However, after hearing it, Lisa Jones couldn’t help but respond with an evidently disdainful smile: “I had thought it was something big. Isn’t it just some locals from Sayon withdrawing their investments? Is it something worth panicking about like this? Useless things!

They just don’t know that the Jones family of Capital City has already stepped in to support you guys. Once they do, they’ll be coming back wagging their tails behind them.

Go, go and find those who withdrew their investments. Tell them it’s from me, that Capital City’s Jones family will unconditionally support the Nezzi New City Project.

Those who revoke their withdrawal will be forgiven. But if they insist on being stubborn, just ask them whether they can withstand the wrath of the Jones family from Capital City!”

The members of the Jones Family who heard this had a sudden revelation.

Yes, why did they forget about this?

They now have the backing of the Jones family from Capital City!

David Herb and the others certainly haven’t received the news yet, otherwise, they absolutely wouldn’t risk offending the Jones family from Capital City by withdrawing their investment.

As long as they relay this message to them, they wouldn’t just refrain from withdrawing their investment, they might even go out of their way to ingratiate themselves with them.

Even David Herb would have to fawn over them!

Just thinking about it feels like a dream, but now, there is such an opportunity.

On realizing this, the Jones Family members began to make arrangements hastily, spreading out to find the whereabouts of David Herb and the others, hoping for an opportunity to meet.

After much back and forth, the members of the Jones Family decided to first go to the underground fight ring to find Amanda and Longman.

…

Meanwhile, White Mitchell, who had arranged all matters, suddenly received a message from Kylin.

“Someone’s causing a commotion at the underground fight ring?”

Upon receiving the message, White Mitchell frowned. This so-called underground fight ring was actually a collaboration between Longman and Amanda. It was a business which didn’t exactly pertain to above-board matters.

However, White Mitchell very clearly understood that there was no absolute right or wrong in this world. If they don’t run the business of the underground fight ring, someone else would, and that would make it much harder to control.

Therefore, White Mitchell didn’t actively obstruct it.

But under normal circumstances, any trivialities of someone causing a stir would not be worthy of them bothering him with, let alone have Kylin get in touch with him. So why was he being contacted all of a sudden?

Kylin’s next words answered the doubt in White Mitchell’s mind.

But after listening, White Mitchell’s brow furrowed deeper: “That troublemaker, he’s asking to see me by name? Do Amanda and the others suspect it’s someone from the Taylor Family?”
