Chapter 1128 A Fraud
Shania<b>, </b>Ceana, and Bran’s words quickly drew everyone’s attention.
The guests gathered around the newly appointed CEO of Nine Stars Group.
+8 Pearls.
Everyone <b>was </b>specting–who could have the audacity to challenge Nine Stars Group, an organization with such immense influence?
With a market value of 700 billion dors, Nine Stars Group was more than just a symbol of wealth and power–it was a formidable force.
In ria, its economic, cultural, and politicalndscape including the nation’s very government and even the president’s cab, were nothing more than puppets controlled by these financial titans.
In a country like ria, where ideology took a backseat true powery in the hands <i>of </i>capital<b>.. </b>
In other words, anyone who dared to provoke Nine Stars Group wasn’t just going up against a corporate giant–they were challenging the very machinery of the rian state.
However, among the guests, some had caught wind of recent events in Sakurania.
If the person confronting Shania was as formidable as Ceana imed, then this was an entirely different.
matter.
Despite the internationalmunity’s efforts to suppress the news, whispers of Robin’s revenge had still managed to spread.
Since his rise to power, stories of Robin had never ceased to circte.
However, the most recent reports, which asserted that Robin had personally defeated three divisions of Sakurania’s Navy and destroyed three aerial fleets of the Rivers, appeared imusible.
It was hard to believe that one man alone could achieve such an extraordinary feat.
As for the much–hyped showdown between Elijah and Robin at the peak of Mount Fuoco, while some video footage had surfaced, it had been altered–shot from a distance and intentionally blurred.
As a result, the battle at Mount Fuoco had taken on a near–mythical quality.
Robin’s supposed vengeance against Sakurania had be nothing more than a sensational topic of gossip, and few truly believed that the so–called “Divine Drakebane” had single–handedly shaken an entire nation.
So when Ceana suggested that the person in question might be the legendary figure who had wreaked havoc in Sakurania, not only did she doubt it herself, but Shania and the rest of the guests found the ideaughable.
To them, it was either a baseless rumor or the delusions of a vain self–promoter.
Someone as powerful as Bran, a top–tier warrior in ria, dismissed the idea entirely.
He simply didn’t believe that a lone individual capable of toppling nations could exist.

<b>Shania’s </b>beautiful <b>eyes </b>flickered with disdain as she smirked. “I have no idea. Maybe he’s just a con <b>artist </b><b>trying </b><b>to </b>extort Nine Stars Group<b>. </b><b>He’s </b>been chasing us from Qacalisle Ind to <b>Sogas</b>, weaving this outrageous lie. Isn’t it obvious what he wants<b>? </b><b>This </b><b>b</b><b>*</b>stard is after a massive <b>payout </b>from Nine <b>Stars </b>Group!”
Bran nodded with a smile. “<i>Just </i><b>a </b>petty schemer. Even if he’s in Sogas, it’s no cause for concern. <b>Sogas </b>Arena is <b>a </b>dominant force here in Sogas. With me around, no one dares cause trouble.”
The guests nodded in agreement.
With the personal disciple of ria’s top Grandmaster standing by their side, neither Nine Stars Group nor Shania had anything to fear.
Shania’s expression softened, and a wave of gratitude welled up in her heart.
With someone like Bran protecting her, even if Robin dide knocking, there was nothing to worry about.
Unconsciously, she leaned a little closer to Bran, her gaze flickering with warmth.
The subtle gesture sent Bran’s heart racing.
“Ms. Shania, can you tell me when exactly you encountered Mr. Ramsey? What happened between you two?”
Shania’s smile gradually turned cold.
“Last month, Grandpa and I traveled to Qacalisle Ind for an inspection, considering the possibility of investing in the Aldridges‘ project.
“While touring a cruise ship, Grandpa suddenly copsed.
“At the time, Robin showed up and imed he could save my Grandpa.
“But honestly, my Grandpa had only passed out from seasickness. He just needed some rest.
“Robin patted him on the back a few times, and my Grandpa woke up.
“Then, he dared to say he had saved my Grandpa’s life and demanded one hundred billion dors from Nine Stars Group as payment.
The moment Shania said this, the entire room gasped.
“One hundred billion dors? That’s outrageous!”
“Do you know what kind of money we’re talking about?
“This is pure extortion!”
Bran let out a dry chuckle. “Ms. Shania, are you sure you didn’t just run into some lunatic?”
Shania shook her head helplessly. “He seems to be the ruler of Qacalisle Ind. His subordinates have been calling me non–stop, demanding I honor my ‘promise‘ and have Nine Stars Group build a one- hundred–billion–dor medical system for Qacalisle Ind.

“The ind’s chief manager, Kelsey, has been pressing me for an answer, but I’ve ignored them.

“Now, I’m starting to suspect my Grandpa’s sudden fainting spell wasn’t an ident–it might have been staged!
“Those so–called chief managers from Qacalisle Ind are nothing but con artists. They must have worked with Robin to scam me!
The guests in the exhibition hall murmured in agreement.
“Ms. Coyle has a point!”
“Mr. Coyle has always been in good health–why would he suddenly pass out like that?”
“This sounds like an borate international scam.”
Bran smirked and shook his head. “Ms. Shania, there’s no need to wonder–Mr. Ramsey is a fraud.
“Think about it. Everything that happened was carefully orchestrated to trap Nine Stars Group.
“Even those so–called rumors from Sakurania? Probably just another stunt by their international scam syndicate.”
Shania let out a bitterugh. “But swindlers and lowlifes are always the hardest to deal with.
Bran sneered. “Then allow me to stay by your side for the next few days. If Mr. Ramsey dares to show up at Nine Stars Group’s doorstep, I’ll take care of him with one punch!”
The guests were in awe.
It was clear that Bran had just made a bold, public deration of his feelings for Shania.
Shania’s eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed.
She looked at Bran, tall and powerful, with a fiery gaze, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Glenns. With you here, I feel much more at ease.”
Just then…
Amotion broke out at the entrance.
Conall strode into the hall, nked by two Majors. The crowd quickly parted to make way.
The master of ceremonies announced loudly, “General Conall Donohuei extends his congrattions to Ms. Coyle on her promotion to Executive President of Nine Stars Group!”
Shania gave a slight nod. “Thank you, General Donohuei.”
“Ms. Shania, congrattions.” Conall walked toward the center of the hall, presenting Shania with bouquet of fresh flowers.
“What’s everyone talking about? You all seem to be having a lively discussion.”
Maurice, the head steward of the Coyle family, who had been silent until now, stepped forward and gave a respectful bow. “General Donohuei. do vou remember the incident on the Oacalisle Ind cruise?

“Word has it that Mr. Ramsey has already arrived in Sogas. Just now, everyone was discussing how he’s here to demand one hundred billion dors.”
At that, a flicker of fear shed across Conall’s eyes.
