Chapter 483 - The Tail in Hiding

"Linfeng?" The voice on the phone woke him up from his thoughts.

"I'm here." Linfeng said.

"Oh, I thought you hung up. Alright, I won't disturb—"

"Uncle. I just thought of something."

William's mouth twitched at the word 'Uncle'. 

"Oh? What is it?"

"Can that day's location be moved to here?" Linfeng asked out of the blue.

"What 'that'?"

"The 'big day'."

The 'big day' was the day the five kings would introduce Linfeng to their society.

"Are you sure? Well… It's your day. It depends on you. I will talk to the guys here."

"Thanks, uncle," Linfeng said with a smile.

William: "...."

"As a thank you, can you not call me uncle anymore?"

"Alright, uncle."

"...."

"Sorry, it's instinctive already." 

William facepalmed. 

'Their youngest surely hold grudges! But he had redeemed himself many times, ah!'

The bigger reputation the ZD Comprehensive Project earned in a global scale, the bigger the blow it rammed on Guan Gao Huan's chest.

He was currently inside his office. He was facing the computer monitor with a cold face. While reading the detailed article about this ZD Comprehensive Project, the deeper the furrow between his brows went.

How could this be...

This project that was now considered to be revolutionary and on top of the ICT market, coincidentally matched his!

His fists clenched.

No, strictly speaking, this ZD Project went beyond his current one.

Guan Gao Huan's ongoing project, which was currently reaching the final stages, was also a new network that was designed to work at a global scale, like ZD.

But unlike ZD, his project's towers currently was only being built on ten experimental countries.

To be able to form partnersh.i.p.s with ten countries, mostly ASEAN, was already a big deal which had made people look at him differently.

It costed him years of building his influence, numerous resources, and a great amount of money.

He was handed an extremely large fund by that person because of the expectations that the project would bring them unprecedented profit and influence.

Due to his failure in his mission last time, that person's expectation of him greatly reduced. Gao Huan's worst fear was to lose his own use to that man. So he was really looking forward to next month where he would announce the completion of his project. It was his chance to redeem himself.

It was also his chance to prove himself in the Guan family that he was a great heir contender. With this, he would gather many supporters and hopes from Old Guan. 

Guan Gao Huan was confident that he could start this project and continually expand over the years until he could establish sites all over the world. The more this project progressed, Guan Gao Huan's status and influence would also increase. By himself alone, he could rival those big empires.

But now....

The existence of ZD Comprehensive Project instantly terminated his path right at this moment.

All of the glory he was supposed to receive would go to the owner of ZD instead.

Even if he pushed forward and announced his own network to the public, it would not create a bigger hype than ZD.

His network was like a small chicken compared to ZD, a big fat pig.

All plans went down the drain.

The investments, resources, hard work, and effort became useless spending.

Did it not mean that he had just wasted many years, efforts, and a great amount of money for nothing?!

How could he not be angry?!

A fist rammed explosively on top of the table.

The man's dark gold eyes icily looked at the monitor.

SC...

The image of an arrogant butler came to his mind.

Linfeng was truly his nemesis.

Guan Gao Huan's plans were not made public yet but he already had an invincible competitor which left him no way to compete with at this moment.

"Dammit!"

Guan Gao Huan stood up with seething anger.

He wanted to vent his anger right now.

He called his chauffeur, walked out of the building, and went into his car.

His direction was the LG club.

He did not call Lu Jin. The person did not even know this project, because Guan Gao Huan had kept it from him.

Guan Gao Huan was not the kind of person to take the initiative to deliver bad news.

He would keep it to himself until he was drowned by it.

The moment he came to the nearest LG club, his manager came running.

"Young Master Guan, there is a woman inside waiting for you."

Guan Gao Huan looked at the manager with a smile on his lips, but his gaze was chilly.

"I am not in the mood to play with the ladies."

The manager lowered his head and felt troubled.

But since his boss always had a 'gentle' personality, the manager braved himself and told Guan Gao Huan the situation.

"Young Master, the woman kept insisting on seeing you. She came here the other day and yesterday, and returned again today. I didn't let her enter, but she kept shouting things about you."

Things that he did not believe at all, but out of his worry for the boss's reputation, he still informed the boss.

Guan Gao Huan was already in a very bad mood.

He did not want to take care of these unnecessary things.

His gentle façade broke.

"Just let the security drag her out!"

The manager was stunned after seeing the ugly face.

He had never seen the boss shout like this before, but he finally could feel the anger and danger surrounding the man.

He… Was he really the gentle boss he knew?

With fear in his heart, the manager tremblingly bowed.

"Y-yes." Then he ran back inside.

Guan Gao Huan loosened his tie in anger.

Why was everything not going his way? Why was everything so irritating!

Guan Gao Huan planned to drink a lot tonight.

He was just about to use the private elevator leading to where his and Lu Jin's private room were at, when he heard the manager's shout.

"Where are you going? Stop! Don't go there! Catch her!"

A pale, bony hand stopped the elevator from closing.

Then, a pale face with sunken cheekbones and huge pitch-black eyes appeared from the gap.

"!!!!"

Guan Gao Huan was stunned and stepped back.

For a moment, he thought he saw a ghost.
