His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0401 Zabaleta. ) Ever since the restructuring of the three major families, the Saunders family became the underground overlord of the entire Zabaleta. Even the mayor had to yield a bit, and all other forces did not comply.

All of them, except for the Duncan | Institute of Research.

In Zabaleta, Duncan Corporation's Daily Chemicals Research Institute, as the name suggests, was an industry under the command of the Duncan family in the North. It mainly conducted research and development on daily products in the northern market, while also overseeing comprehensive analysis. It was the

largest integrated information company in the entire northeastern region. es 5 A gathering of talents, so to speak. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Within the institute, it virtually housed the most authoritative healthcare experts in Zabaleta, renowned in the industry with unquestionable credibility. Each research report could command a sky-high price.

"Amber and Alexander of the New Chesire Group want to purchase our research materials?" In the office building of the research institute, a middle-aged woman in a tight dress held a high-footed cup in her hand.

She looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the bustling traffic below with a peculiar smile.

"Lucian, can this information be

confirmed?" Lucian Marshall, the current vice " director of the institute, respectfully bowed to the middle-aged woman, his face filled with pride.

"The Xanthos family and the New Chesire Group both want to buy our data. We can justifiably demand a high price. Without ten billion, no one can think of buying our information!" The middle-aged woman chuckled, a sound like a young girl experiencing her first love.

She was beautiful, playful, charming, elegant—various contrasting qualities perfectly manifested in her. It seemed natural and unforced, emitting an indescribable charm with every frown and smile as if possessing an innate and unique allure that almost

mesmerized everyone. She was truly deserving of the title 'Peerless Beauty.

She was Hazel Duncan, the eldest daughter of the Duncan family in the North.

"When Alexander and Amber come later, it'll be your responsibility to receive them." She took a sip of red wine, a playful smile appearing on her rosy lips. "Selling the data to the Xanthos family, one of the four major northern aristocratic families, is just adding icing on the cake. What benefits can they really offer us? "Selling to the New Chesire Group is like a timely gift of charcoal in snowy weather. Of course, we can make bold demands! "Remember, we don't want cash or

transfers. We want shares! If ney want to buy our information, they must offer thirty percent of the shares. in the New Chesire Group. Otherwise, we'll only discuss it in person." Lucian's face lit up, then he furrowed his brow and whispered, "Miss Duncan, isn't this asking price a bit too tough? Alexander is not someone to be trifled with. What if he becomes desperate and does something drastic..." Hazel chuckled, covering her mouth.

"Desperate? Where can he go? Although the Duncan family's influence is modest, it's not something Alexander can casually provoke! Don't forget, the Duncan family in the north is a branch of Walganus Capital Duncan family. If he dares to act recklessly, Walganus Capital Duncan

family will not stand idly by.

"provoking the Walganus Capital Duncan family, even the four northern giants won't be able to handle it!" Lucian straightened up, suddenly full of confidence.

The Duncan family in Walganus Capital...

In the North, the Duncan family was justa third-rate power. However, even the four major powers have to respect them. After all, the Northern Duncan family was subordinate to the Duncan family, while the Duncan family in the capital was a true aristocratic powerhouse, one of the top five peak families in Wyverna.

"Calculating the time, Alexander and Amber should be here by now." Lucian

glanced at the Rolex gold watch on his wrist, bowed slightly to Hazel, and said, "Miss Duncan, I'll go downstairs now and negotiate with them face to face." | Hazel, holding a high-footed cup, watched Lucian leave. Just as he was about to step out of the office, her lips curled into another light laugh.

"Don't be too polite to them. Show a bit of dominance. Remember: they're the ones seeking us, not the other way around. Thirty percent of the shares— not a fraction less!"
