Chapter 284 The Salute Sounds, Gold Appears
Money poured out of the truck, instantly catching everyone's attention.
The bills flying everywhere tugged at people's hearts.
Many of those present were either wealthy or influential, with net worths in the tens of millions of dollars, but seeing cash floating in front of them was suffocating.
Sarah and Leila exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They never expected Raymond and his group to support James.
And they even gave $1.4 billion as gift..
They knew the elites of Rosewood City were on good terms with James and that James had helped them at the Taiping Boxing Arena, but they also knew this society was driven by profit.
Compared to the favors James had done for them, the threat from The Howard family was more intimidating.
In fact, over the past few days, the profit-driven businessmen of Rosewood City had call back their children and cut ties with James after receiving warnings.
How could they suddenly come out to congratulate him today?
Everyone else had similar expressions of shock, not expecting that in such turbulent times, Raymond and his group would congratulate James.
No matter how unbelievable it was, the money was right in front of them, and Raymond and his group walked into the clinic together.
"Mr. Williams, today is the grand opening of JZL Medical Clinic. As mere businessmen, we don't have any grand gifts."
Raymond walked in and said, "The money is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it, Mr. Williams."
Patrick and Andrew also cupped their hands, "Please accept it, Mr. Williams."
Taylor and Joel, who had stepped down from the truck, also spoke up, "Please accept it, Mr. Williams."
Their voices weren't loud, but they echoed throughout the venue, reaching everyone's ears and leaving Reese and her son speechless.
"Alright, I'll accept it." James didn't hesitate and waved his hand, "Raymond, Patrick, Andrew, please come in."
These days, James hadn't contacted any Sky Peak Club members, including Olivia, to ask whether they supported or abandoned him.
He understood that this was about the survival of their families, so he treated Nathaniel and the others' departure with a calm heart.
But their arrival today still comforted James. In this world, there was still loyalty.
Raymond and his group laughed heartily, "Thank you, Mr. Williams."
Seeing guests arrive, Mary and the others happily served tea.
"A few actresses under The Thompson Group have been acting out of line. Have the IRS check if they've been evading taxes. The antique shop under Thousand Treasures Corporation has been selling fakes. Don't forget to get the local departments involved. Contact the small shareholders of BH Corporation and tell them The Howard family wants to buy their shares. Some people need to be put in their place." At this moment, Sarah and Leila's faces were icy as they issued orders to Alexa and the other assistants, preparing to deal with those who opposed them.
In this land, as members of the top circle, if they wanted James to be a nobody, he would be a nobody.
"Yes!" Alexa and the others responded with their heads down, then glanced at James, "A petty man getting his way, Raymond and his group would suffer along with him. Didn't they realize that?"
Just then, two more container trucks slowly drove up from both ends of the street and parked in front of JZL Medical Clinic.
Six rows of ceremonial cannons were mounted on the truck roofs, adorned with red flowers.
Lucy waved her fist dismissively, "I don't believe there are another two trucks of cash."
As she finished speaking, Aaron, dressed in black, and Richard, dressed in white, appeared.
Then, Sebastian and Nathaniel also showed up.
They cupped their hands and loudly congratulated,
"SH Group, Aaron, Sebastian..."
"Rosewood City Mystic Alliance, Richard, Nathaniel..."
"To celebrate JZL Medical Clinic!"
"To celebrate President Williams!"
As the words fell, the cannons turned, the panels dropped, and a thunderous roar echoed to the sky.
The entire world fell silent in an instant!
Deathly silent!
On top of the two containers were neatly stacked gold bricks, shining brilliantly and creating a powerful visual impact.
The streamlined curves and the blinding light made it hard for people to breathe.
Many onlookers felt a surge of excitement, their hands and feet trembling uncontrollably, wishing they could rush up and grab all the gold.
Even Lucy and her group turned pale.
Reese slapped Juan twice, trying to wake up from what seemed like a dream, only to find the gold still shining brightly.
"How could this be?" Leila and Sarah murmured again. Raymond and his group's appearance had already shocked them, but they never expected Aaron and Richard to show up as well.
What on earth did James do to deserve such support from the elites of Rosewood City? Even at the risk of offending The Morris Family and The Howard family?
Lucy stomped her feet in anger, "Blacklist them all together."
Several Floral Elegance girls were also furious. They came to see James fail, not to see him in the spotlight.
Aaron and his group's lack of respect made Lucy and her group feel not only embarrassed but also that their authority was being challenged.
Why should the elites of Rosewood City not give them face? What right did they have to ignore their blacklist?
While everyone was shocked by the gold, they were also stunned by Aaron and Richard's arrival.
Who in Rosewood City didn't know these two men?
Compared to Raymond and his group, these two were more ruthless and direct
Countless families and businesses in Rosewood City had to show them great respect.
Even many of the young scions present had flattered these two men.
"What on earth is going on? Why are Mr. Collins and Mr. Davis here too? And bringing such a heavy gift for JZL Medical Clinic?" Everyone looked at JZL Medical Clinic with wide eyes, their disdain mixed with shock, and their surprise tinged with confusion.
A joint blacklist by several families, including The Morris Family?
Blacklist what?
With Aaron, Richard, and Raymond all here, the blacklist was a joke. They could easily join forces to counter-blacklist several families, including The Morris Family.
Addison, who had just woken up, fainted again at the sight of the gold.
Ray's smile also froze, and his palms and soles began to sweat.
At JZL Medical Clinic.
The moment Aaron and Richard appeared, Mary and Kaitlyn were stunned.
Having grown up hearing about them, they naturally knew who these two were.
They knew James was impressive, but they didn't know he was this impressive!
"Richard, you're back? Mr. Collins, welcome." At this moment, James walked out of the clinic to greet them, giving Richard and the others a heavy hug.
He warmly invited the two inside, "Please come in!"
Kaitlyn quickly served tea and water, smiling brightly.
Sarah looked at Leila, "Leila, the environment in Rosewood City is affecting investor sentiment. You need to do something about it."
"Don't worry, Sarah. Rosewood City will soon be cracking down on crime." Leila said domineeringly, "We would arrest who needs to be arrested and execute who needs to be executed."
The crowd was still reeling from the shock when a black sedan drove up from one end of the street.
The car quickly pulled up in front of JZL Medical Clinic.
It was an Audi A6, with no cash or gold, and its value was far less than Lucy and her group's Ferraris.
But when Lucy and her group saw the license plate, they froze.
