Chapter 678: Calm Amidst Chaos

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The most formidable person in the entire United States?”

Upon hearing this, Charlie sneered.

“This guy really dares to dream. Does he think I can’t handle him?”

In fact, Charlie wasn’t frightened by George’s audacity. He didn’t even have a smidgen of concern.

In Atlanta, he was the law. If he willed it, no one could touch him.

More importantly, if he willed it, he could make anyone cower before him!

For George to aspire to dominate Atlanta or even the entire United States wasn’t a problem for Charlie. The issue was that George was planning to achieve this by kidnapping his own daughter.

This was something Charlie absolutely could not tolerate.

“Yes, that guy is far too arrogant. I have no idea what’s going through his mind.”

“I remember a time when I was drinking with him, and he said that he joined our Cosmic Tower just so he could climb higher and see farther.”

“At the time, I didn’t understand what he meant. But now it’s clear that he wants to use you as a stepping stone, take control of the entire Cosmic Tower, and become the most powerful man in Atlanta or even the entire United States!”

Ailan recounted his past interactions with George, dredging up numerous compromising details about him. He could sense that Charlie was starting to get angry.

“Well, if he’s that ambitious, I’d like to see how much he can actually achieve!” Charlie spoke, and Ailan, now somewhat frightened, fell silent.

Ailan had divulged everything he knew. If Charlie wasn’t satisfied, his life would be forfeit.

However, Charlie showed no dissatisfaction.

“You may go,” Charlie said nonchalantly, signaling that Ailan was off the hook and faced no further danger.

“Thank you, boss, thank you, boss!”

Ailan stuttered his gratitude and made a hasty exit. Just then, Luo Feng approached Charlie.

“Mr. Charlie, if you let him go like that, what if you’re alerting the enemy?”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any alerting.”

Charlie seemed confident in his response.

“In our Cosmic Tower, as long as I don’t want something to leak, no one will ever know.”

“Even if this guy has been tortured half to death, as long as I don’t want anyone to know he’s met me, no one will know about our recent interaction.” Charlie was confident, but this very confidence left Luo Feng uneasy.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

George was no pushover.

Alice had only recently arrived with Luo Feng. Previously, her situation was known to no one but Luo Feng and Jardins. Yet George had already hatched a plan and even kidnapped Alice.

This showed that George was resourceful. If they alarmed him now, there was no telling what he might do.

Moreover, since George had kidnapped Alice, he must have recognized her importance to Charlie.

Acting impulsively would only make Charlie seem more vulnerable.

“I think we should adopt a strategy of ‘calm amidst chaos’,” Luo Feng suggested.

However, the concept of ‘calm amidst chaos’ didn’t exist in Charlie’s dictionary.

From his humble beginnings to becoming the largest enterprise in Atlanta, his mantra had always been to strike first.

Acting first always gave him the upper hand.

His past experiences had proven this, and he intended to rely on them now.

“If we do nothing, wouldn’t that make us more passive?”

Charlie brushed off Luo Feng’s suggestion with a wave of his hand.

“Though this situation arose because of you, I know that even without you, George would find another way. If you’re afraid, you don’t have to get involved.

I can handle it myself.”

Just as Charlie was about to dismiss him, Luo Feng quickly interjected.

“The more anxious you appear, the more certain he will be about how much you care for Alice.”

“If you were to attack him immediately, there’s no doubt you’d overpower him.

But have you considered what he might do in a desperate situation?”

“The only card he has to play is Alice.”

“What if he harms her? Would you not regret it then?”
