Chapter 267

No matter how unhappy Hudson was, Dane Warren was still paying a visit to his company as the chairman of Sena. As the host, he had to accommodate him out of common courtesy.

Therefore, Hudson stood up and plastered a smile onto his face. He then walked toward Dane Warren.

“You took time out of your busy schedule to visit us, Mr. Warren. It’s a huge honor,” Hudson remarked politely in a relatively neutral tone.

Dane burst out into laughter. He had a booming voice and hearty laughter. One who did not understand him would have thought that he was a bold and simple-minded man. However, under the facade of his honest and straightforward persona, he was a vicious man with an extremely cruel heart.

“You’re being way too courteous, Mr. Moore. I had to attend a public meeting surrounding the Internet industry in Cavern City, so I stopped by your office to look around,” Dane said as he clasped Hudson’s hand in a tight grip.

“Right, didn’t you get invited to the meeting, Mr. Moore?” Dane asked while feigning doubt and uncertainty.

Hudson’s face stiffened. He drew back his hand and said matter-of-factly, “There has been a lot of company affairs lately. You should understand, Mr. Warren. That’s why I wasn’t free.”

Dane could not help but sneer in his heart upon noticing the somber gaze in Hudson’s eyes. Alas, these young people were way too inexperienced. They could hardly hold it in after receiving a few taunts.

Scanning through the crowd, Dane side-eyed Logan before finally setting his eyes on Jasper. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“And this is?”

Jasper stood up lightheartedly. With a calm demeanor, he gently extended his hand. “I’m Jasper Laine, the president of JW Capital,” he said.

JW Capital!

Dane’s heart lurched. He glanced at Jasper in amusement.

If he wanted to acquire Terizone, JW Capital, who owned more than half of Terizone’s stocks, would be an inevitable hurdle.

“Mr. Laine. I’ve heard all about you.” Dane said as he extended his hand toward Jasper. A smile that did not reach his eyes formed across his lips.

Jasper shook his hand and chuckled. “You have an extremely well-known reputation, Mr. Warren. Juniors like us have a lot that we can learn from you,” he said.

Dane laughed at his choice of words, which reflected the bare minimum of politeness. Despite this, he did not mind at all.

From his perspective, Terizone had already lost. Losers would inevitably hold some grievances after the battle.

Their insinuating words were more like a compliment to him.

Only winners deserved to accept a loser’s derision and mockery, was it not?

Dane took a seat on the chair in a calm and collected manner. “I heard that Terizone faced quite a number of difficulties over these two days,” he said cheerily.

Logan clenched his hands into fists upon hearing what he said. He could hardly stop himself from aiming a blow straight at Dane’s head.

Everyone already knew that the problems faced by Terizone were caused by Dane himself. Nonetheless, he still came over to feign compassion and gloat about it in front of them.

Without paying any heed to Logan’s fuming gaze, Dane continued speaking. “You guys are still young. You have no idea how ruthless the business sector can be. Operating a business isn’t an easy feat. As your senior, I would like to give you guys a reminder. It’s important to quit while you’re ahead,” he said.

Hudson sat down and stared at Dane impassively. “Mr. Warren, if you have anything you want to tell us, just say it to us directly. Young people like us don’t have much experience, and I’m afraid we don’t quite understand what you’re trying to imply,” he said.

Dane chortled gleefully. “In that case, I’ll just say it directly.”

Dane then beckoned his secretary over. His secretary immediately took out a document from his briefcase.

Dane waved the document in front of them and announced, “Since Terizone is facing so many hardships, I’m here today to lend a helping hand. Sena would like to acquire Terizone.”
