_3 Also, that Steven is from Missouri, clearly coming after Temir.

To move against Gru is to move against her; to move against her is to move against you.

But you can’t control Gru, so instead you take your frustration out on me.

What the hell are you playing at?

Forbes has tracked me down now, and what comes next is…

”

“Smack!”

Shabi’s perspective is limited; CEO Cheng wasn’t played by Gru—it was he who took the initiative to sever ties.

The only thing he didn’t anticipate, which was quite serious, was the idiot Eris getting dragged into this by Gru—actually, it felt a bit like being played, but CEO Cheng wouldn’t admit it.

These past few days have been unlucky enough, it can’t get any worse.

“Let them investigate.

You have the California Clique behind you, Eris.

I still can’t fathom why you would do Gru’s bidding.

Do you really enjoy being a dog that much?

Even if you are a dog, remember, I’m the one who holds your leash!”

CEO Cheng’s stern words finally brought Eris back to his senses, and he began to analyze the sequence of events.

A task assigned by Jax, executed personally, the truth revealed, silencing Jax with eight million dollars, and then Forbes shows up at the door.

Everything happened so fast; from start to finish, he never consulted with Cheng Daqi even once.

And besides, I’m backed by the California Clique?

“The California Clique?

You mean Wolf?”

“Smack!”

CEO Cheng couldn’t bear it anymore; the pressure he’d been under these past days was too much.

Eris had offered his face this morning so obligingly, and CEO Cheng’s hands were itching.

“There’s only one California Clique, the one Niu Sen is part of, the one involved in our business identity and also involved in LCE, I haven’t told you about this, and it seems Gru has kept you in the dark as well.

Let me think, it was Jax, wasn’t it?

He tested you, then tricked you into making a move, right?”

Spot on!

Eris’s body trembled slightly.

He wasn’t a fool; he had figured out what was going on.

Gru and Jax, those two bastards, pushed him to the forefront, trying to lure Niu Sen into the water.

And to think, he had just asked Jax on what basis they could confront Forbes—it was based on them screwing him over and dragging Niu Sen into it—courtesy of the information about Eris unaware of Niu Sen’s involvement that Cheng Daqi had earlier leaked to Gru!

Nobody was a fool, except for Eris!

Thinking he could ignore Cheng Daqi, thinking he could have some autonomy, only to find out that Cheng Daqi had kept him in the dark, and Gru had set him up.

He hated Gru, hated Cheng Daqi, but even more helplessly, he realized that only Cheng Daqi could save him.

A simple logic: he was now exposed for all to see, and who exposed him?

Gru!

What was the purpose?

To get Niu Sen’s California Clique to take the heat from Forbes, which actually meant taking on Achilles—Mi’er’s rival within the family.

Niu Sen’s actions weren’t dependent on that bit of interest but on the one who brought him into the game, Mi’er!

Poor Eris finally saw through the maze, but he sorrowfully found out that he could only plead for help from the same Cheng Daqi who had hit him several times—this guy thought Mi’er was CEO Cheng’s woman.

“Cheng, save me!” Eris pleaded, cupping his face in distress.

This showed that Eris had a broader vision in handling matters than Gru.

When he was unclear about the situation, he was played like a fool.

But now that he saw the situation clearly, he immediately understood what was going on.

While Gru, the idiot, still thought about pushing Cheng Daqi out, Eris’s face was swollen from Cheng Daqi’s slaps, yet he clung to Cheng Daqi’s leg—the difference was clear.

The West Coast dream chaser, immersed long-term in the political and business circles, understood too well the logic of America’s misuse of public power for private gain.

“Smack!

Smack!

Smack!”

This time, CEO Cheng used a lot less force, but this somehow carried more of a mocking tone.

“Now you remember me, what about before?

I’m curious, how did Jax feed that bullshit to you, idiot.”

“He started with four million dollars, and then it went up to eight million.

I…

I made a huge mistake this time, but I was completely set up by Gru, Cheng.

I didn’t realize this matter would involve so much.”

Eris hated Cheng Daqi for keeping the involvement of the California Clique a secret, knowing that Geweil had invested in the LCE cryptocurrency exchange, but Geweil’s share was too small for him to consider that aspect.

He resented Cheng Daqi for withholding that critical information, making his actions too hasty, but he didn’t dare say it.

Helpless, powerless, and frustrated, Eris felt extreme pain in his heart.

“Smack!”

“Eight million, haha, I gave Gru fifty million, Eris.

And then you spent eight million to drag me and Mr.

Niu Sen into this mess.

You’re really bold.

Tell me, is it more beneficial for us if you die, or is it more beneficial if we save you?”

CEO Cheng was purely toying with him now.

Eris had to be saved, of course; despite the fact that he had seriously crossed Cheng Daqi this time, it wasn’t entirely his fault—it was Gru, that bastard, who was so inhumane.

But the method he mentioned to deal with the situation was also worth considering, because sometimes partial severance really is a good strategy.

It wasn’t a good choice to rashly pull Niu Sen into the fray for Cheng Daqi and Mi’er at this time.

Moreover, the most critical question was what the price would be.

Another question was whether Gru, when he set up Eris, had anticipated turning against Cheng Daqi?

As Cheng Daqi toyed with Eris, he recalled Gru’s attitude and words facing him that day.

Now his dragon was cornered in the most dangerous position; his next move had to be carefully planned.

Niu Sen, Wolf, Gru, Eris, Mi’er, Achilles, Steven—this game was too interesting.

“Cheng, I’ve always been obedient, I’ve always listened, it’s just that I made a mistake this time.

From now on, I’ll follow your every command, please, I’m begging you.”
