Chapter 534: Chapter 534 The Danger of the Brown Family (1)_1

Brown Kress was truly naive. If those people had major clients, they would have collaborated on their own, and it would never have come to him. Moreover, everyone around Brown Kress knew about the incident where he and his daughter offended Patriarch Xiao and had their partnership cancelled, and they were all more than eager to avoid Brown Kress.

While Brown Kress was actively looking for partners, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang showed up.

After seeing Brown Kress and Brown Lya, father and daughter, causing trouble for Situ Xin at the PRATY, Liu Yuxiang impulsively wanted to take his men directly to Brown’s place and beat the two of them up. Thankfully, Xia Yujie, though angered, still had some rationality left.

He stopped Liu Yuxiang. And after carefully analyzing the information they had gathered about the Brown Family, he found out that the Browns had an illegitimate son who had been coveting the family’s assets for a long time, and Brown Kress’ mother was always vigilant against this illegitimate son, with Brown Kress himself having an even bigger disdain for this half-brother.

Upon reading the information, and considering Brown Kress’ current situation in conjunction with the data he’d seen earlier, Xia Yujie came up with an idea. He wouldn’t just take some men and beat Brown Kress to a pulp.

Perhaps, if he gave Brown Kress a thorough beating, he would feel pain and suffer for a while, but after he healed, everything would be the same as before. This was not the outcome Xia Yujie wanted. Since Brown Kress dared to treat the Dragon Society’s young miss that way, Xia Yujie definitely wouldn’t let him off easily.

What could cause a person lifelong pain was nothing other than losing what they cherished the most. Moreover, if what they cherished most ended up in the hands of the person they despised the most, that would be unbearable. Thinking about it, Xia Yujie was sure Brown Kress couldn’t stand such a torment.

After sharing his plan with Liu Yuxiang, the latter, who was initially sullen because Xia Yujie had stopped him from teaching Brown Kress a lesson, got excited and said directly to Xia Yujie, "Ah Jie, you’re brilliant, even coming up with such a cunning idea."

"Hm?" Upon hearing Liu Yuxiang’s words, Xia Yujie gave him a dangerous look. Liu Yuxiang hurriedly explained. "Ah, no, not cunning, I misspoke just now. I meant it’s such an ingenious strategy, you’re truly deserving of being the Dragon Society’s boss."

It was only after this flattery that Xia Yujie withdrew his dangerous gaze from Liu Yuxiang.

Once Xia Yujie looked away, Liu Yuxiang exaggeratedly wiped his forehead and said, "Phew, Ah Jie, your boss’s presence is getting more and more formidable. Next time, I bet those underlings will only dare to stand at least 5 meters away from you."

"Ah Xiang," Xia Yujie had just called Liu Yuxiang’s name.

Liu Yuxiang quickly stood up from the sofa and said, "Ah, I just remembered there’s something I haven’t done yet. So, I won’t keep you company any longer, I’ll be leaving first." Without waiting for Xia Yujie to respond, Liu Yuxiang left as if on fire.

Watching Liu Yuxiang run away like escaping for his life, Xia Yujie shook his head helplessly.

It was from that time that Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang began to devise a plan to take down Brown Kress.

And what they had to do was to approach him when he was most helpless, in the name of the Dragon Society.

"Mr. Brown, what do you think, are you interested in partnering with the Dragon Society?" Xia Yujie handed over the cooperation proposal written by the top graduates from the world’s most famous business schools and crafted with the help of the Dragon Society to Brown Kress.

As you would expect from professionals, Kress was thrilled after reading the proposal, knowing that if those projects were successful, he could not only recover from the losses of the terminated partnership with Xiao’s but also take the Brown Group to a new level.

However, after his initial excitement from reading the proposal subsided, Brown Kress started to feel conflicted as he faced Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, who claimed to be from the Underworld but didn’t look the least bit fierce. He was torn not because of anything else but because of Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang’s identities as people from the Underworld. For generations, the Brown Group had declined any offers of collaboration thrown by The Underworld due to ancestral teachings. So now he was conflicted, as his ancestors’ teachings forbade him from dealing with The Underworld, but the proposal in front of him was incredibly tempting.

Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, watching Brown Kress’ internal struggle, exchanged glances before calmly picking up the teacups in front of them and sipping the tea. This was after Brown Kress had specifically asked his secretary to prepare it knowing the two were from Country H.

However, after taking a sip of the tea, both Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang furrowed their brows. If it weren’t for temporarily wanting to leave a good impression on Brown Kress to ensure their plan progressed smoothly, Liu Yuxiang would have rudely spat the tea out from his mouth.

After having a sip, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang put their teacups down in unison, not daring to take a second sip. Liu Yuxiang thought to himself that once back, he must use the tea Situ Xin gave them to gargle and freshen up his mouth.

"President Brown, have you made up your mind? Are you willing or not? If you’re not, we don’t mind. I’m sure other companies in BL would be very interested in our proposal," Xia Yujie impatiently pressed, seeing Brown Kress tangled up and not taking a clear stance.

As soon as Brown Kress heard Xia Yujie mention taking the proposal to someone else, he became anxious. Thinking about the accusatory glances and comments from the board meeting a few days ago, Brown Kress’ head heated up in a rush, and he let go of all concerns about ancestral commands, blurting out, "Fine, I’ll work with you."

Hearing Brown Kress relent, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang cheered internally. Their first battle was won. "President Brown, that’s the spirit. Such an opportunity, if you let it slip, you’ll definitely regret it in the future," Liu Yuxiang said disingenuously.
