Chapter 176 A Great Opportunity
In the end, the Bell family surrendered to William's hands. Through this battle, William grew even fonder of the high combat power possessed by the Black Fist Fighters. Their efficiency in fights was simply outstanding.
With such a team under his control, he could basically sweep through all of New York. William felt like he had struck gold.
Upon returning to CH Real Estate, William immediately had Antony negotiate the share exchange with Yves, to avoid any complications.
By obtaining 70% of the Bell Group's shares, he could essentially determine the fate of the Bell family. Even Yves had to follow Antony's orders and dare not harbor any revengeful thoughts towards William.
However, William instructed Antony to keep the Bell family's 70% shares under tight control.
Now, the Bell Group holds 1% of the shares in the Bell Group. Although it may seem insignificant to outsiders, William sees it differently. After all, the WE ARE Investment Company is his, and the Bell Group's 70% stake is worth billions of dollars. It's only natural for him to include it in his own pocket.
At night, a heavy rainstorm suddenly poured down outside, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which was quite frightening! Startled by the thunder, Kayla, wearing a sexy red silk slip dress, gracefully approached William and sat down next to him, longing in her voice.
"William, can you accompany me to the Garcia Group's branch in the North district tomorrow?"
"Well, the situation in the North district is almost stable, and your branch can also start operations soon." William nodded. The Harrison family and the Bell family had already been brought under control, breaking the monopoly in the business district, and some industries could gradually open up to the outside world.
"By the way, what kind of business do you plan to do at the branch?" William casually asked. He thought that starting a business might be difficult for Kayla at first, so he intended to help her. With the Bell family and the Harrison family already under his control, their industries should be able to meet the initial needs of her branch.
"The Garcia Group's main focus is on the manufacturing of fabrics, leather, fur, and similar things. It would be best to cooperate with the clothing and home textile industries. But before starting operations, I need to assess the situation at the branch. Hopefully, it's not too bad." Kayla expressed her concern.
This branch is just an empty shell company, and there are probably only a few employees inside. Overcoming many difficulties would be necessary in order to formally start operations.
"Trust me, everything will turn out fine!" William encouraged with a slight smile.
"Okay." Kayla nodded. Lately, William was becoming more trustworthy and reliant. Sometimes, she feels like she can't live without him. If William were to return to Michelle in the future, she doesn't know how she would face her own path.
Right at that moment, a loud clap of thunder suddenly sounded outside, causing Kayla to tremble. As if unintentionally but intentionally, she leaned against William.
"William, I'm a bit scared of the thunder tonight. Can I sleep with you?" Leaning against William, Kayla blushed, her heart beating rapidly. Saying such a thing, Kayla had really put herself out there.
She didn't want to watch helplessly when William returns to Michelle's side, and she will have to find a way to keep him with her like before.
"Sleep with me?" William hesitated for a moment, and the fragrance that came from Kayla made him swallow nervously. "You should go back inside and sleep with Sharon! She isn't afraid of thunder."
"Why? Are you afraid I'll eat you?" Kayla turned her charming face and said reproachfully.
"No, it's mainly because there's not enough space for the two of us on this couch." William found a suitable excuse to evade.
"It's fine, I don't mind squeezing!" Kayla said, disregarding whether William was willing or not. She was confident in her allure and figure, as long as she slept next to William tonight, he wouldn't be able to resist!
William also felt a bit nervous, but luckily, at that moment, Sharon suddenly emerged wearing a white silk pajama.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Nothing, we weren't doing anything." Kayla quickly wriggled out of William's embrace, then tidied her slightly disheveled nightgown and hair. Her panicked expression was akin to being caught in the act.
"It's fine, come back and sleep. If you're afraid of thunder, I'll hold you!" Sharon yawned and showed an unusually caring side.
"I-I'll go back right away." With Sharon saying that, Kayla had no excuse to stay with William any longer. However, there was a faint trace of disappointment in her eyes. She wanted William to stay with her so much that she even considered sacrificing her body to forcefully keep him by her side.
Seeing Kayla follow Sharon back, William let out a sigh of relief. Kayla was truly a beauty in the eyes of men, especially since she had just been wearing a thin and cool spaghetti strap nightgown. If they had really squeezed together and slept the night, William didn't know if he would be able to hold himself back.
The stormy night passed quickly, but the rain continued to drizzle.
After William exercised autonomously in the training room for a while, Kayla also woke up. Today, she wasn't dressed alluringly and provocatively, but rather in a rare set of professional women's attire.
She wore a white blouse on top and a black pencil skirt below. However, because her figure was so good, wearing this way created a visual impact of seductive uniformity.
"Let's go. The branch office is located in the middle of the North District. If we hurry, we can make it in time for work." Kayla spoke while flicking her hair, hoping to catch William's gaze a bit more. However, she was disappointed when William walked straight out.
"I really don't know if you're a man or not!" Kayla stomped her foot with a face full of reproach. She considered herself as beautiful as a flower, yet she continued to be frustrated by William and ended up falling deeper into her own feelings.
Shortly after, William drove to an old commercial building with Kayla. The location was quite remote and the environment wasn't great.
"Kayla, are you sure your branch is here?" William stood in front of the building, somewhat incredulous. It was surprising to see that the Garcia family, one of the four major powers in New York, had such a run-down branch in the North district.
"This is the address they gave me, Room 405 on the 4th floor." Kayla was also taken aback. The surroundings and location were dirty, chaotic, and isolated. What kind of talent could be attracted to a place like this? It seemed even worse than she had imagined.
As they were about to go inside, a car drove towards them. Due to the rain, there was a lot of water on the ground, which splashed as the car passed by.
When the car passed by Kayla, William's immediate reaction was to quickly shield her behind him. The accumulated water splashed all over William after being quickly pressed against the tires, but Kayla, who was protected by William, remained unharmed.
"Damn, was he doing it on purpose?" William cursed. His pants and clothes were almost completely soaked by the splashed rainwater.
However, Kayla was deeply touched. Although it was just a small detail, it revealed that William cared for her a lot!
But the better William treated her, the more reluctant Kayla was to let him go.
"William, are you okay? Let's go inside and dry off!" Kayla held the umbrella for him and led the way inside. William could only make do for now.
Meanwhile, inside the Miller family mansion, Paul was smoking a cigar. The recent incidents in the North district had left him troubled. He had spent many years mixing in the North district, and it was the first time he had felt a sense of crisis.
Suddenly, a subordinate rushed in to report.
"Our informant has found William's trace. He and Kayla went to DDF Mansion."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Paul finally received some good news.
"I'm sure. To confirm if it was really William, our people drove past him in the rain and splashed him with water. It was indeed him." The subordinate reported confidently.
"Did he bring that female boxer Sharon with him?" Paul asked further.
"No, he was only with a woman who had a great figure. Her name should be Kayla." The subordinate truthfully replied.
"William didn't bring the female boxer with him. Quickly, have someone monitor him closely. Don't let him escape!" Paul suddenly felt excited.
