Chapter 300
“Storm Group has announced the release of all algorithms for their security chips,” the person said.
Harrison was completely dumbfounded.
Initially, with Storm Group rolling out superior chips, Stellar Group only took a hit in the high–end market. They still had a solid grip on the mid and low–end segments.
But what was this madman Ben doing, releasing the algorithm?
This meant that any company with even a modest amount of resources could now develop this chip on
its own.
Their company was toast.
“Aren’t you going to make a call?” Timothy once again sighed.
Harrison’s complexion went through a few shades.
Finally, after some struggle, he managed to unlock his phone and call Storm Group’s Secretary’s Office. Following a few redirects, he was p
“Mr. White,” Ben’s voice was very calm.
through directly to Ben.
Hearing that calm voice and thinking about his struggling company, Harrison felt a pang in his heart as though it was being cut with a knife.
He managed to get out, “Mr. Landor, I can’t figure out what I’ve done to deserve this kind of treatment
from you.”
Ben gave a wry chuckle, “Your chips have always had a backdoor. We’re just leveling the playing field in the name of justice.”
In the name of justice, those were the exact words from the archivist’s suicide note.

Harrison’s face turned even more sour.
He now was certain that Ben was indeed targeting him because of that case.
“Mr. Landor, could there be some kind of misunderstanding here?” Harrison said, biting back his anger.
Ben said calmly, “I want Jane’s case wrapped up in a day.”
Harrison clenched his teeth and asked, “How am I supposed to do that?”
“If you can’t pull it off, I’m setting my sights on the new energy sector next,” Ben said with a cool edge.
Harrison was so shocked that he was left speechless.
His Stellar Group’s headquarters were based in Coraland, with a primary focus on the security chip
industry.
But secretly, he also owned another company in Tonico, which mainly operated in the new energy
industry.
The company kept a low profile; the average person had no clue about his ties to it. Ben could only pull this off with the help of his father–in–law, the King of Tonico.
A hint of annoyance flashed through Harrison’s eyes.
Before, when he hit a rough patch with his business in Tonico, he came across some information that made him believe Yana was actually Tonico’s princess. So he bent over backward to get on Jane and Yana’s good side. In doing so, he let slip some details, like his eye on Tonico’s high–tech enterprise support slots and his interest in attending key conferences in Tonico. Ben must’ve picked up on these

But now…
Didn’t he suddenly find himself with a father–in–law who’s the King of Tonico

Chapter 300
If Alexander and Ben join forces, they’re unstoppable!
Harrison was starting to panic inside, but he still refused to admit defeat.
He mustered up the courage to say, “Ben, quit being an alarmist. You might want to break into the new energy game, but you lack the chops. What makes you think you can take me on in this field?”
Ben chuckled lightly and said, “It seems we can’t come to an agreement then. Mr. White, let’s wait and
see.”
Ben was about to hang up the phone.
At that, Harrison completely panicked, he hurriedly said, “Wait, wait a minute.”
Ben stated coolly, “My offer stands. In three days, I want this case wrapped up and the truth laid bare.
All the existing clues in this case had been cut off.
Who was the only one that could reveal the truth?
Of course, it was the mastermind behind the whole thing.
He had no evidence to make any accusations against Harrison.
But Ben didn’t need any evidence in the first place.
He just needed to cause Harrison a huge loss, one that far exceeded his gains from this matter.
Then, naturally, he would find a way to wrap things up.
Harrison clenched his teeth and said, “Give me one day. But you’ve got to call off your dogs on Stellar
Group.”
Ben raised an eyebrow, “Of course.”
He had already pulled the rug out from under the Stellar Group.

Chapter 300
Even if he called it quits now, Stellar Group would be relegated to playing in the mid to low–end market from here on out. And given the major hit to their reputation, it’s questionable if they could even make headway there.
Harrison was just trying to salvage a little bit of his losses.
The phone call ended.
Harrison had a look of utter despair.
He had thought he held the winning hand.
But in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed, and he became the one who lost everything.
Seeing Harrison like this, Timothy sighed.
A few months back, he took a tumble off a cliff but Harrison’s folks rescued him. After that brush with death, Timothy felt like he had gotten a second lease on life.
He didn’t choose to go home, but instead, he chose to stay by Harrison’s side.
After Harrison learned of his true identity, he valued his business talent and always wanted to pull him
into the fold.
Yet, the organization Harrison belonged to, called “the Phoenix Collective,” was nothing short of a nightmare. It wasn’t a household name worldwide, but once Timothy got a glimpse behind the curtain,
he was floored.
This organization had gathered countless fanatic followers, each of whom would not hesitate to die at a
single command from the organization.
Such an organization was too dangerous and too frightening.
If he were to join such an organization, it would fundamentally be a move against all that’s decent.
Therefore, Timothy had never agreed with Harrison.
