Blake effortlessly lifted Lilly with one hand and exclaimed, "Let's go, is our little Lilly feeling hungry?"
Lilly responded eagerly, "Yeah!"
Blake carried Lilly into the helicopter as everyone watched.
Arthur maintained a stern and unyielding expression, protecting both himself and Lilly, exuding an air of authority as he pleased.
Layton uttered a parting remark, "It's better to take matters into your own hands."
The helicopter took off, departing amidst the sound of thunderous rotor blades.
Amidst the typhoon's fury, the helicopter braved the wind and rain. No one knew who the pilot was... The technology was so astounding that it made one question how they could fly so steadily even under artillery fire.
Once the helicopter departed, the moving convoy followed suit, tracing its path. It was a sight worth beholding.
Even television dramas did not dare to depict such scenes. Only in commercials or novels could one find such grandeur.
Everyone present was left speechless.
Mr. Martin remained silent.
Max, who was left behind, felt flabbergasted.
Coughing softly, Max turned to his colleagues who were about to leave with him and said, "Let's go. I'll drive."
The other colleagues who had come to work by car made their way to the parking lot.
They could not simply take away their belongings from their workstations because of their jobs. It would take several days to go through the proper procedures, so there was no rush.
The people who hesitated earlier felt a trace of discomfort. Little did they expect that Max possessed such a powerful background, causing them to regret their decision once again.
"Forget it. After we leave this job, we won't be able to work for private companies for half a year..."
"That's right, it will be half a year... We'll lose at least a hundred thousand dollars in salary. Money can cause so much trouble."
"Although we haven't resigned yet, at least we still have a stable job."
Just as Max was about to leave, he suddenly halted and turned back to the staff members following him, saying, "Oh, by the way, starting from today, you will formally resign following the proper procedure. Don't worry about the six-month gap. Everyone will receive a bonus of 200,000 dollars and enjoy paid leave."
"And when our new laboratory opens, everyone's salaries will increase by not just 30 percent..."
"We'll make it a 50 percent increase."
Max's assistants erupted in cheers.
No one doubted the credibility of Max's words.
After all, his older brother was Anthony, the richest man in the world!
"It's vacation time! It's vacation time! Hey, 200,000 dollars is a lot. Let me think about how to spend it!"
"I'm heading to the Maldives! I want to see the Great Migration in Africa!"
"I've had my eye on a car for a while. I'll buy it now!"
Originally, when Max mentioned a 30 percent increase in salaries, some were hesitating
But the next moment, they heard their salary would increase by 50 percent.
And paid leave was included.
What was the greatest regret in the world?
It was not missing out on a good opportunity.
It was seizing an opportunity but letting it slip away because you hesitated.
Those who hesitated about leaving felt more discomfort than those who never considered it in the first place.
And they suddenly realized a problem. Initially, they had intended to leave, but after Mr. Martin threatened and enticed them, they chose to resign.
How could people like them be trusted and given opportunities in the future if they stayed?
Those colleagues who did not leave in the beginning would also treat them as outcasts.
Leaders do not trust people like them either.
Witnessing Max and the others leave in the car, these individuals felt intense regret, so much so that they felt nauseated.
Despite Blake initially pretending to be Max's brother, it left Max feeling extremely dumbfounded.
However, he suddenly regained a sense of coolness, finding this display of extravagance truly impressive!
