Chapter 189 Since They Want to Play Big, Let's Play with Them
William once again received Victor at their usual meeting place, but this time he came alone without any security guards.
"Mr. Brown, Sir has agreed to your request. He has signed the agreement to transfer 20% of the Garcia Group's shares. You can take a look." Victor handed the contract to William.
After skimming through it casually, William noticed that Rodrigo had indeed signed it.
"Not bad, not bad. Since Master is so generous, we will naturally reciprocate. Vicente, bring out Scaley," William nodded in satisfaction and instructed Vicente to bring out Scaley.
However, Scaley was not looking good at all.
After being locked up for two days, his face was pale and lifeless, with injuries on his body and torn clothes. He appeared disheveled, and his eyes were filled with fear and terror. It seemed he had been frightened by Vicente.
When Scaley saw Victor coming to pick him up, he cried out in relief.
"Finally, you've come to rescue me."
"Scaley, this time I'll let you go. But if you dare to provoke me again, I won't show mercy next time!" William walked to Scaley's side and warned him in a cold threatening tone. Scaley was scared and full of hate for William after these few days of fear.
Victor noticed Scaley's injuries and didn't look pleased. He couldn't accept that the son of New York's wealthiest man had been beaten like this. But since they were on someone else's turf, he had to hold back.
"Thank you, Mr. Brown. If there's nothing else, we'll go back now," Victor said.
William nodded and dismissed them both.
After Scaley and Victor left, William turned to Vicente and asked, "Did Scaley transfer all his assets?"
"Indeed, Mr. Brown. I personally handled it. How could he dare to refuse?" Vicente smirked and handed a stack of transfer agreements to William.
"Well done, well done. I will make sure Boss Jones knows about your contribution. You won't be treated unfairly," William smiled and expressed his satisfaction with Vicente's performance.
"Thank you, Mr. Brown," Vicente responded excitedly.
After acquiring 20% of the shares from the Garcia Group, Vicente's shareholdings in the company had reached 45%.
"Just a bit more, and we can initiate a new board of directors," William's mouth curled up slightly. Soon, he would be able to support Kayla's rise to power, and then the Garcia Group would belong to him.
After Victor and Scaley left Vincente's club; they went straight to the chairman's office of the Watson Group.
Scaley vented his grievances to his father, Rodrigo.
"Dad, I'm finally back alive to see you. That William is a bastard. You must avenge me!"
Rodrigo didn't look happy when he saw Scaley covered in injuries. William was taking things too far, completely disregarding the Watson family and it's status.
"First, go home and clean yourself up, then get some rest," Rodrigo comforted Scaley, suppressing his anger.
"Dad, there's one more important thing I need to discuss..."
"Let me report to you, William forced me to sign a share transfer agreement for my assets. What's more, he also forcibly took away my 5% stake in the Watson Group," Scaley said nervously.
"What? William dared to scheme against us? How audacious!" Rodrigo's anger burned within him. Antony had gone too far, instructing William to reach into the Watson Group. It made Rodrigo feel as if he was being pushed to a desperate situation.
Antony was taking the blame for William's actions, but he had no idea about what William had been up to. Nevertheless, the Watson family blamed everything on Antony.
Previously, Rodrigo had agreed to transfer 20% of the Garcia Group's shares, as it wasn't the Watson family's business. It was a favor for Antony. But now, with William forcibly taking away 5% of the Watson Group's shares, Rodrigo couldn't bear it anymore.
"Antony has gone too far, daring to instruct William to scheme against us. If we don't teach him a lesson, we might end up like the Ashford family," Rodrigo clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk, feeling both angry and frustrated.
At that moment, Manuel suddenly burst into the room and exclaimed loudly, "Dad, can you believe me now? Antony, with the help of William, is aggressively acquiring shares of companies in New York. If we don't unite and resist, we'll truly become a subsidiary of the Power Group."
Upon his eldest son's arrival, Rodrigo turned to look at him. He agreed with Manuel's words, but still had his concerns. He furrowed his brow and said, worriedly, "You're right, but with the strength of our family and the Harrison family, we can't compete against Antony's Power Group. It will be even harder to take down William."
"Dad, you don't have to worry about that. I've already arranged the business alliance for us! Last night, I visited Norman, and he has agreed to join our business alliance and fight against the Power Group," Manuel said, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
"Oh? Norman agreed to join as well? But even if the three major families unite, we might still struggle against the Power Group," Rodrigo expressed his concern.
"Dad, I haven't finished talking! In addition, the Walsh family, one of the four major families in Canada, will also support and join our business alliance. The Walsh family has connections and resources that can help us stand up against the Power Group," Manuel said, lifting the corner of his mouth.
"Will Sir from the Walsh family personally make an appearance? With this, will we have the confidence to confront Antony and the Power Group?"
As Manuel's words fell, both Rodrigo and Victor were shocked, finding it difficult to believe.
"You mean the Walsh family will also join our business alliance?" Rodrigo could not believe it and confirmed once again.
The Walsh family's industry is spread throughout the country, with immeasurable influence. With their participation, our business alliance's power will certainly increase!
"Yes, I have already discussed it with Dorian this morning. On the day of my wedding, he will attend and represent the Walsh family in joining our business alliance, while providing multiple forms of support," Manuel said confidently, presenting his plan as if he were a skillful strategist.
"On the day of my wedding? Do you mean...?" Rodrigo seemed to have guessed his eldest son's thoughts.
"Yes, I will advance my wedding with Miss Harrison from the Harrison family. By using this joyous occasion, we will distribute wedding invitations to various corporate group bosses. This way, we can deceive Antony and everyone else. On the day of the wedding, the Watson family's five hundred security personnel will be mobilized, ensuring that every visiting corporate boss must sign the agreement for the business alliance. Those who attempt to withdraw will be required to pay a substantial penalty fee," Manuel explained.
His gaze turned cold as he continued, "Since they are playing by unconventional means, we can only use unconventional means to frame them and catch Antony off guard."
"Sir truly lives up to being New York's top young talent. With such a layout, our business alliance's influence will greatly strengthen. Even the non-controlled enterprises under the Power Group may choose to join," Victor attentively listened, becoming increasingly amazed. Manuel's every step was steady and ruthless, offering both threats and enticement. Whether the other side agrees or not, as long as they come, they will be aligned with him. This move is truly formidable.
"Haha! You truly are my son! With you around, the Watson family will undoubtedly replace the Power Group and dominate New York," Rodrigo laughed heartily, fully satisfied with Manuel's plan. He then glanced at the disheveled Scaley beside him and couldn't resist reprimanding him.
"Scaley, if only you had half of your older brother's abilities, your 5% share wouldn't have been taken away. When you go back this time, reflect properly at home."
"I understand, Dad. I will humbly learn from my older brother," Scaley responded inwardly displeased, but for now, he had no choice but to flatter.
In the following days, William stayed at Crown Villa. When he had free time, he would exercise and build his strength while counting down the days until Sharon's return. He was eagerly looking forward to Sharon's arrival.
However, instead of Sharon's return, he received earth-shattering news. The Watson family and the Harrison family had formed an alliance and invited various business owners to attend their wedding banquet. Invitations were sent to both acquaintances and strangers, including Master Munro from the Wilson family. Additionally, on Manuel's wedding day, they announced the establishment of the CC Alliance. Every business owner present, voluntarily or otherwise, signed an agreement to join the CC Alliance. Overnight, CC Alliance became the largest consortium in New York, with more than half of the city's businesses under their banner, surpassing even the influence of the Power Group.
What surprised William even more was that all the companies in which the Power Group held a majority of shares were excluded from the CC Alliance. Furthermore, it was announced that members of the CC Alliance were forbidden from collaborating with the Power Group. This immediately raised Antony's concerns and made him sense the danger.
Therefore, he immediately called William. "Sir, it seems that the CC Alliance is targeting our Power Group. We must take action; otherwise, without business partners, the Power Group's operations will rapidly decline and lead to bankruptcy."
Antony's voice sounded serious over the phone, indicating that even he felt the danger in this matter. The people from the Watson family had completely caught them off guard; their scheme was truly cunning.
"Why panic? If they want to play big, then we'll accompany them and give them a good game. Don't let them cry and beg us for mercy when they lose miserably!" William chuckled, showing that the Watson family still couldn't accept it!
They actually thought about hitting the Power Group. It seemed that the richest man in New York was indeed more formidable than their previous opponent, and even Dorian was waiting here.
A cold smirk appeared on William's lips. Since that's the case, let's settle everything in one go!
