Chapter 34
Hendrick immediately exined, “Ms. Crestfall, wait! It’s a
misunderstanding! I was wrong to put you in a tough spot. I am sorry that I have offended you. The
good sir has taught me a lessonst night. Please forgive me, I beg of you.

“These are the funds for the Northern Point construction site. Not a penny less! Please have a look!”
Hendrick waved his hand, and four bodyguards came over with
briefcases that were filled with money.
Hendrick then opened his own briefcase to pull out a document. “Ms. Crestfall, this is thend that New
Moon Corporation offered to purchase the other day. I have told my men to make the necessary
arrangements, and the ownership will be transferred to yourpany soon. Take it as a token of
apology.
“Ms. Crestfall, I hope I’ve done enough to make up for my mistakes. Please inform the good sir that I
have done my part.”
Hendrick held the document with both his hands and offered it to
Luna who waspletely dumbfounded.
Hendrick had been arrogant and impolite yesterday, and he even made rude demands on Luna, yet he
had now turned into an entirely different person overnight.
Not only did he deliver the Northern Point-rted funds, but he even offered a piece ofnd to the
company as a token of apology.
It felt surreal.
Luna pinched her own arm to make sure she was not dreaming. She then noticed something strange in
Hendrick’s words.
Did someone teach Hendrick a lessonst night and force him to
notorious than the Dragon Gang in the underworld. With him as support, who would dare to level the
construction site to the ground?”
“I don’t know about the details, but afterst night, Mr. Mysticwood went to New Moon Corporation
early in the morning and apologized to Luna.”
The secretary saw the change of expression on Solomon’s face. “Sir, could it be the same person
behind the Dragon Gang’s demise?”
Solomon calmed his mind down to ponder. “It might be.”
The secretary asked, “Sir, what should we do now?”
“Hmph! So what if New Moon Corporation ovees this hurdle?” Solomon grunted. “As long as we
still have the Cloudens under our control and stop the New Moon Corporation from entering the
Business Guild, they will have to split the Valiant Institute project sooner orter.”
The Business Guild was an alliance formed by East River State’s Ministry of Finance. When a
company met the requirements to join the guild, a sizable amount of subsidies on raw ingredients
would be provided.
The Valiant Institute project cost a lot of money, and the only profit came from the government
subsidies on raw ingredients and
allowances.
As long as Solomon could stop the subsidies from the government, he could force the Crestfalls to spit
the project back.
The secretary asked, “Sir, we are organizing the Business Guild’s annual dinner this year. Are we not
sending an invitation to New Moon Corporation as usual…”
“No!” Solomon interrupted the secretary. “This time, we will send an invite to New Moon Corporation
openly, and I want the Crestfalls to bring their new son-inw to the event.”
“Why?” the secretary asked.
“This year, East River State’s Ministry of Finance is sending a deputy minister over to attend the annual
dinner as their representative.”
Solomon scoffed, “The son-inw of the Crestfalls might be powerful, but I bet he has a temper. As
long as we continue to pressure the Crestfalls at the dinner and provoke him, there’s no guarantee that
he could stay calm. He might even cause a scene or even start a fight!”
The secretary echoed with an evil grin, “If that happens, the Crestfalls will embarrass themselves in
front of the deputy minister, and they will have a hard time ahead.”
“I’m d you see the big picture.” Solomon pulled a cigar out of his drawer and started smoking.
After a few puffs, he said to the secretary, “Go prepare the invitations.
I’m eager to see the punk embarrassing himself in front of the deputy minister!”
