Chapter 638 - Guan Gao Huan's Fury

After some time, finally, the phone call was answered.

"What took you so long to answer!" Guan Gao Huan roared.

The secretary on the other line trembled. "T-third young master.... The investors kept calling me and some are already here, asking to meet you right away."

"Damn! We just got the information at this moment! How did they come there suddenly--?" He abruptly stopped, and his eyes went wide. "Don't tell me, someone purposely leaked the news to the investors and partners first before we knew about them?!"

"Third young master, it is already in the news! SC's ZD World stock price is continuously rising!"

Guan Gao Huan instructed his butler to open the TV wall screen and get to the news channels.

[SC's ZD World ended their beta stages and officially launched their newest system upgrade thirty minutes ago to all users in all countries covered by the ZD World app.]

[Over one million beta users began to upload their reviews about their experience with the new version half an hour ago, and they are all overwhelmingly positive. In the next thirty minutes, the number of version update downloads reached a hundred million. The numbers are still increasing at this moment.]

[This made SC's ZD World firmly establish its roots as the number one in the global rankings and left Univ One in the dust. According to many IT experts, for the upgrade to be launched this early meant that the SC Company were already preparing for it even before Univ One was officially launched into the ICT field--]

Crash!

Guan Gao Huan furiously smashed a heavy vase towards the TV wall screen. Pottery fragments exploded all over the place and left a huge crack on the large screen.

It was as if it was purposely adding fuel to Guan Gao Huan's fiery anger.

[This caused a tremendous gap between ZD World and Univ ONe. ZD World's value is way off the charts now, with its continuous rise in value in the stock market.]

[SC suddenly made an announcement just ten minutes ago! They are willing to auction a total of three percent shares of the ZD World to the highest bidders!]

Guan Gao Huan suddenly froze. His eyes went wide.

No way!

If SC suddenly announced this piece of news at this crucial time when ZD World was soaring high up in the sky, then a lot of investors from his side would surely withdraw their hands from Univ One, sell their shares to acc.u.mulate more bidding funds, and try to buy even at least one percent of the shares of ZD World!

This could not be happening!

This would cause his Univ One's value to plummet at this crucial time!

His fury reached its peak and his eyes turned red. 

His hardwork! 

His sacrifices!

Guan Gao Huan roared mindlessly as he flew forward and slammed his fists against the screen a couple more times, crushing it to crystalline dust, until the screen turned black. 

His hands were bleeding, causing the carpet and the crystal fragments to have dark red patches of blood.

"Zhou! Linfeng! So this is your plan all along! Launching the upgrade at this critical time! Just when I am about to inherit the Guan Empire! So you are siding with that Guan Xixin, huh?!"

"Just you see! I won't let you get what you want!"

The man's demented roars filled the room, brimming with anger, unwillingness, and murderous intent.

'.....'

Lu Jin closed his eyes as he massaged his forehead. 

"....Calm down. Don't do anything reckless. You still have a few days left."

Guan Gao Huan's bloodshot eyes turned to Lu Jin. "A few days?! I only have a few days left to turn the situation around! What can you expect me to do in a few days?! Unless that bastard Guan Xixin and Zhou Linfeng dies, only then can I inherit the Guan Empire!"

Lu Jin could see the killing intent vividly in Guan Gao Huan's eyes. 

He was serious.

'....'

Lu Jin stood up, calmly walked forward, and patted Guan Gao Huan's shoulder. 

"...Think carefully. If Guan Xixin dies at this moment, you are the first person who will be suspected. We can't have you make trouble again. IAmFashionista is near. Father.... will surely kill you if you make a mess just before the important event comes."

"...."

Guan Gao Huan took a deep breath many times, shivering in anger. 

...But no matter what he could think of, murder was the only way out of this.

"Then what should I do? Do you have any idea?" Guan Gao Huan grabbed his hair and looked up at Lu Jin's eyes in desperation.

Lu Jin sighed. 

It seemed like they had come to this point, since they had no choice. 

"Gunan, the old Guan headmaster has at least thirty percent shares right? He possessed the highest number of votes. Even if your influence over the stockholders goes downhill because of ZD World, you can still secure the old man's votes. This will make things balanced between you and Guan Xixin. The old man is your chance."

Guan Gao Huan's fury slowly dissipated. He saw a beacon of hope. Earlier, he was too affected by the sudden news that he lost his mind for a moment, or else he would have immediately thought of this. 

He closed his eyes for a long time.

"...That's right. That f.u.c.k.i.n.g old man only needs to vote for me. Then, with the remaining support that I have, I might outnumber Guan Xixin's votes."

Lu Jin nodded.

Guan Gao Huan stood up straight, walked to the couch, and dully took his coat. "I need to talk to the old man."

Lu Jin looked at Guan Gao Huan's bloody hands. "Take care of your wounds first, Gunan."

Bang!

But the door was already closed and the man had already left.
