The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: 119 Slap in the Face [Update 1]

The CEO of DK Corporation was truly peculiar.

His affairs in Hua Country were no secret, after all, it was he who had the DK Corporation’s Hua Country headquarters release that tweet, pushing Zhong Corporation into the trending searches.

In doing so, his acquisition of Jade Pavilion would not only be free from critique but would also win him a round of accolades.

What the CEO of DK Corporation did not anticipate was that within five days, Zhong Corporation actually came up with a second Ten Directions Realm.

And regarding this overseas call…

Just as the CEO of DK Corporation was about to speak and inquire, the person on the other end of the phone started the conversation.

After only hearing one sentence, his face instantly turned ashen!

Eugene, standing to the side, saw that his boss’s expression was amiss and felt an intense premonition of misfortune growing within him.

He didn’t hear what was said on the other end of the phone, and asked in a lowered voice, “Boss, what’s wrong?”

Master Zhong and the other shareholders also looked over, but this time it was their turn to watch the excitement.

The CEO of DK Corporation instantly broke out in a cold sweat, losing his earlier air of superiority.

His face pale, he hardly knew how he managed to utter the following words, “It’s… it’s IBI.”

At this revelation, Eugene was shocked, “…IBI?!”

The shareholders of Zhong Corporation were also stunned; they were naturally aware of IBI, but had never had any contact with it.

IBI specializes in combating international crimes and illegal activities, capturing international criminals, and maintaining world peace.

Beyond representing the full name of the International Bureau of Investigation, IBI also embodies three virtuous qualities.

I, Insist, persistence.

B, Bravery, courage.

I, Integrity, uprightness.

The Divine Thief teams wandering internationally are one of the primary targets IBI focuses on suppressing.

But since Divine Thieves often arrive without a trace and leave without a shadow, it was very difficult for IBI to investigate and capture them, which made the Divine Thief teams even more brazen.

Especially the ones ranked in the top few, where not a single member had been caught by IBI.

Therefore, when the CEO of DK Corporation found a Divine Thief team and had them steal the Ten Directions Realm from Jade Pavilion, he had not considered the factor of IBI at all.

They hadn’t been caught for so long, surely they wouldn’t get captured while fulfilling their task for them, right?

As it turned out, sometimes things were just that coincidental.

This call was from an A-level agent of the International Bureau of Investigation.

DK Corporation had the Divine Thieves transport the Ten Directions Realm to a small duchy in O continent, hiding it specifically in a granary warehouse in the suburbs.

But now, that warehouse had been discovered by IBI, and several of the Divine Thieves had all been arrested.

And as DK Corporation had dealings with the Divine Thief group, they inevitably could not escape IBI’s punishment.

The fact that IBI was involved showed how significant the theft was.

The CEO of DK Corporation forgot how he hung up the phone or how he listened to the A-level agent on the other end of the line, as he fell into an endless panic.

Hua Country’s affairs were beyond IBI’s jurisdiction.

What they did was very secretive, and they had enlisted top-tier Divine Thieves, spending a considerable amount in commissions.

How on earth did IBI manage to track them down?

But none of that mattered any longer; from the moment IBI issued the arrest warrant, no company in the world would consider cooperating with DK Corporation again.

They had thoroughly lost all their credibility.

And also, due to the betting agreement, they handed over a deal worth three hundred million dollars.

Moreover, starting from today, DK Corporation would become a key observation target of IBI.

Any slight anomaly would lead to unimaginable consequences.

The CEO of DK Corporation was soaked through with cold sweat, barely managing to steady himself, but he couldn’t stop trembling.

“So, what did IBI say that got you so scared?” Finally seizing an opportunity, the middle-aged shareholder mocked forcefully, “They aren’t going to seal up your company, are they?”

As he spoke, he raised a thumbs-up, “You’ve rattled IBI; you’re impressive, kid.”

The CEO of DK Corporation couldn’t even force a strained smile; he had no desire to stay here any longer and only wished to leave as quickly as possible.

But his legs were already stiff and immovable.

Eugene wasn’t faring any better.

He was just an employee, acting on orders, so why should he be added to IBI’s surveillance list?

“Grandfather, I’ll be taking my leave.” Ying Zijin didn’t even glance at the foreign man; she nodded slightly towards Elder Zhong, “You’ve been busy for several days, remember to rest later.”

“Alright, alright.” Master Zhong suddenly snapped out of his reverie and hurried to stand up, “Zijin, I’ll send someone to escort you home.”

“No need.” Ying Zijin declined Master Zhong’s offer politely, “Someone is coming to pick me up. Grandfather, you still have matters to attend to.”

She has always been a lazy person; if something can be avoided, she would not lift a finger.

Master Zhong nodded, “I’ll have the housekeeper stew some soup for you once you get home.”

As she reached the conference room door, she paused in her steps.

Everyone’s attention had been focused on her all along, so they naturally noticed.

“I forgot to tell you what that sentence meant—” The girl turned around, her gaze cold as snow, “No enemy can conquer this place.”
