Messages were constantly coming in from the cell phone.
Rainer's face had turned pale from its initial smugness.
"Impossible! It's just a small company in Yinzhou, a group of nouveau riche. How did they manage to find a cybersecurity expert? Why is there capital poured in?"
Rainer sat paralyzed on the couch, staring at the computer screen. On it, there was the realtime stock market, which would refresh every few seconds.
Rainer watched helplessly as the number of the Cumulus Industry turned from red to green. The company's stock had been rising, but at this moment, it fell, and it kept going down.
To the Cumulus Industry, what Rainer had done was destructive. But to Henry, he didn't even break a sweat. One word from Henry would bring annihilation to any given company. In fact, Henry didn't even know that it was the Cumulus Industry that was behind the malicious attack against the Lins.
At this moment, Henry was holding a liquor bottle and was ready to chug the whole thing down his throat. He was determined to get his revenge for the drunk incident from the night before.
Everyone was drinking with Henry. They knew that it was a way for Henry to release the pressure, and that was exactly what Henry needed the most at the moment.
They had drunk a lot, and everyone was lost track of how much they had consumed.
The only hint was the full gound of empty bottles.
Among all of the quadrangle courtyards nearby, they were the only one that was still partying and drinking.
A tall middle-aged gentleman was standing not far away from their quadrangle courtyard,
"My Lord, the fire should not be allowed at a place like this. Their behavior breaks the code," A young man said to the gentleman.
The gentleman was Titan, who Henry had met in the club that day.
Titan looked at the young man and smiled, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Give them an official warning to obey the fire code. This is Du City, not the Radiant Island!" The young man said with a solemn look on
his face.
"Do as you wish," Titan shrugged. "You are in charge here, and you hold the authority."
Titan then put his hands in the back of his head and said, "Life is short, and we should enjoy ourselves as much as we could. I'll leave all the worries to you young people. I'm too old."
As he spoke, Titan strolled away.
The young man glanced toward the direction of the quadrangle courtyard and made a phone call, "Get me a fire truck!"
After hanging up the phone, the young man murmured, "The master of Radiat Island? This is Du City, and in here, you are nobody!"
In the quadrangle courtyard, Henry and the others were having a great time drinking. Suddenly, water fell from the sky and reached the bonfire accurately. With a sizzling sound, smoke rose, and the fire was put out in an instant.
Then, the gate of the quadrangle courtyard was bust open from the outside.
The young man strode in. He glanced at everyone and shouted, "Who allowed you lot to use fire here?"
