The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Going Crazy

"But now that the contract is in effect, they don't have to beg us anymore! If he don't want to give us the money, we have no way out." said Harleen.

Billy laughed and said, "A valid contract can also become invalid."

"Huh?" Harleen was slightly puzzled.

"Harleen, trust me, that old man will come to beg you again." While speaking, Billy edited a message on his phone and sent it to Derek before leading Harleen towards the elevator.

Meanwhile, Zeph returned to sit on the couch with a faint smile on his face. The contract issue had finally been resolved. As for how Fletcher's family would react, he didn't care. Even if they wanted to leave the family clan for good, it wouldn't make much difference in these few years anyway. With the Ozin Tower contract in hand, he was confident that Knight Group would soon rank among Ozin's top 20 companies. By then, Fletcher's family would eventually come begging him to let them return to their clan.

"Gilbert, take a seat! Thanks for your help this time." Zeph picked up his cigar and took a puff of smoke.

"You're too kind." Gilbert sat down on the couch and smiled back at him.

"Gilbert, when are you free? Let your father know that I'd like to invite him over for dinner as an expression of gratitude from the Knight Family." Zeph said. Although he knew that this had nothing to do with Gilbert, the Guerrero family was ranked tenth among the Ozin families and it would be beneficial to establish a good relationship with them.

"I appreciate your kindness, Mr Knight. My father has been busy lately, let's talk about dinner another time." Gilbert responded after a moment of hesitation.

In his mind, he thought, "What dinner? I never mentioned anything about your family to my father. If we meet again and he finds out, it'll be bad news."

"Okay." Zeph nodded with a smile before turning to Beatrice. "Beatrice, didn't you say you were going to see a movie with Gilbert today? Why don't you go?"

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Beatrice responded after a brief pause. She understood that her grandfather was trying to push her towards Gilbert.

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of footsteps in the hallway followed by Robert rushing in frantically.

"Father... something big happened!" Robert said breathlessly.

"What happened?"

"Just now... the Ozin Tower called us and told us they won't fulfill the contract we signed yesterday..." Robert struggled to speak.

"What!?" Zeph's wrist shook and some ash fell on the ground as he shouted, "Why?"

Beatrice also looked shocked when she heard this news.

"They didn't give any reason, they just said there were problems with the contract we signed yesterday so they won't fulfill it." Robert replied solemnly.

"And they've transferred over the penalty for breaking the contract."

"Damn it!" Zeph threw his cigarette butt to the ground and spoke angrily. "World Group is such a big company, but they don't even have the basic spirit of a contract!"

"Father, there is still something big." Robert added nervously.

"What's that?" Zeph asked, with a sense of foreboding.

"Three largest raw material suppliers just called and said they will terminate their cooperation with us starting tomorrow. They will no longer provide any raw materials to our company."
