Île Valais Thermal Power Office Building.

Valais Thermal Power, an energy and fund company mainly responsible for [electric assets], is mainly engaged in electricity, natural gas and energy-related businesses, including power generation (electric thaumaturgical supply), energy supply and energy trading, etc., with a number of experienced financial thaumaturgists in-house.

Morton Edgar was the chairman of the company, and he was listening to the excited rants of the other directors on the board.

"By increasing our equity in the Board of Directors, we increase our influence in corporate decision-making and governance. This would discourage [hostile takeovers] in the short term, making it more difficult for John Giovanni to gain control of the company, and he would need to acquire a higher percentage of the shares in order to make the acquisition. A rather sleek director slapped the table to make his opinion.

"Hmph, that's easy to say, how do you resist the other party's [destructive takeover], [increase in shareholdings] and [shareholder voting challenge], we don't know who the hell is here! Varu, you're in such a hurry to [increase equity], you're not going to be the hell, are you? An emperor penguin in a suit bluntly lashed out at the fat director named Varu.

"NMD fart, McGrath, you shit Madagascar penguin, it was really Valais Thermoelectric's biggest mistake to let you into the board of directors in the first place, you are like those [wand people] who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, for an alien race like you, as long as you have money, you can even sell your ass."

Varu was instantly furious, his right hand, with his thumb wearing a large emerald ring, slammed viciously on the table, and then spat at the emperor penguin McGrath.

"I think you have a way to die!"

McGrath stared coldly at Varu, a gold card appeared in his hand, followed by a cloud of angry thunder around him.

He has been very unhappy with this dead fat pig, this fat pig always uses the reason of 'you are not a human being, you don't understand' to deny his many decisions on the internal structural adjustment of the company, and he has endured the other party for a long time!

"How scared I am of you!" Roy also took out a gold card, and his body began to shine like a diamond.

"Enough for you two!"

Morton Edgar stopped the two of them with a loud voice, and a platinum card appeared in his hand, and at the same time as this card appeared, a huge sea monster appeared behind Morton, this sea monster resembled a squid, huge tentacles wrapped around it, and countless bubbles appeared in the board desk.

【Financial Beast: Kraken】

When he saw the [Financial Beast] behind Morton, McGrath and Roy became honest at the same time, the [Financial Beast] that appeared behind Morton was the embodiment of a kind of wealth authority of [Financial Street], and when the huge assets were gathered together, a distorted field similar to [Dominator] was generated, forming a special distorted concept - [Financial Beast].

The [Financial Beast] is similar to the [Domination Avatar], but unlike the avatar, it is allowed to be held by multiple people, and different varieties of the same type of [Beast] can appear - because the formation of the [Beast] itself is composed of many assets, and the person who holds different share assets has the power of the corresponding shares, which is also the reason for the formation of the [Financial Street] company.

In the [Financial Street], the company exists for profit, and the so-called profit is to absorb more assets and let the company form its own [financial beast].

Of course, [Financial Street] does not exclude [Domination Incarnation].

However, the ultimate pursuit of a financial company with ideals and ambitions is to make its company concretize a [financial beast].

[Financial Beast Kraken], the source of this [Financial Beast] comes from a financial company called [Kraken Exchange], its headquarters is located in the Golden Gate City of the Addison Federation, Morton Edgar owns 7% of the company's equity, just reached the critical summon point (different [Beast] Temporary summon points are different, if the holding is small, the use of [Beast] is to face high [inflation] and high [deflation] two kinds of ability concrete problems).

After Morton Edgar stopped the dispute between one person and one penguin, he rubbed his forehead with some headaches, Valais Thermoelectric is his life's work, and he doesn't want to give it to others, and he just discovered a batch of [Electric Rats] that can be converted into [Extraordinary Assets] a while ago, and then spent a lot of [Basic Assets] and [Extraordinary Assets] within the company to purchase a phase space for breeding them.

In his vision, as long as this batch of [Electric Rats] reaches production, it will be able to replace a large number of [Electric Assets], and then the company can use this to carry out several more rounds of financing, and then as long as the [Financial Challenge] of [Financial Street] is completed, it will be able to obtain the mark of [Beast].

Morton had investigated in advance, and there was an electric financial beast named [Thunderbird] that still had a concrete quota.

However, someone leaked the news, which led to Giovanni's prying eyes, which led to the [hostile takeover case].

Morton Edgar looked around at the board, and one of the things that McGrath the penguins said was very right, there was an internal ghost in the board, so once there was a [stake increase] within the board, it was going to have to face the problems that I just mentioned.

Giovanni had previously launched a [destructive takeover] to force Valle Thermal Power into several parts for the acquisition.

And his [increase in holdings] has not stopped, and the other party has gradually increased his stake in Valais Thermal Power to gain control and decision-making power.

[Shareholder Voting Challenge] Don't worry yet, with Giovanni's current stake, he can't take the right yet, and the [Poison Pill Measure] has already completed the [51 percent majority consent] restriction: it stipulates that the acquisition can only take effect if the hostile acquirer obtains more than 51 percent of the shareholders' consent.

Giovanni's [hostile takeover] is in line with the "Financial Law" of [Financial Street], so the legal route Morton Edgar has given up, and he can only fight a tug-of-war with Giovanni now. Moreover, if the internal ghost of the company has not been found out, once there is a decision-making error within the board of directors, with the cooperation of the other party, he does not think that the company can be contained.

"Let's start today's meeting here, and we'll talk about something tomorrow."

Morton Edgar knew that today's meeting would only exacerbate the contradictions and suspicions within the company, which was the last thing he wanted.

"Hmm."

Many directors also knew that the meeting would not be able to go on today, so they greeted the chairman, and then left the conference hall one by one, and soon, only Morton was left in the entire conference room.

Morton leaned his head back on the cushion and looked at the high-backed chairs neatly arranged on the long table in front of him, his eyes deep.

Who is the traitor·······

Dididi——

Morton frowned irritably, but he quickly adjusted his mood by setting up a hierarchical paging on his wrist, and only those high-level communications could enter his watch at this time.

Molton pressed and held down the sleek display of his comms watch, then swiped forward, and a virtual screen floated in the air.

"Chairman, there's a guest who is contacting you through the company's internal encrypted channels." A sweet-looking lady in standard overalls was reporting to Morton respectfully.

"Crypto channel, what is the encryption level?" Morton raised his brow slightly, and then continued to ask.

"The highest level, and this encryption number is ······" The staff hesitated, as if the number she read next was something unclean.

"What is it?" Morton asked unhappily. Reading a number, how can it be like dying.

"Serial number prefix - 777."

Bang Dong –

Morton, who was sitting in the high chair, almost fell, and he continued to ask the staff regardless of his image:

"777, are you sure?!"

No wonder Moreton Edgar is so flustered, but this number is not an auspicious number for all traders, financiers, and entrepreneurs in [Financial Street].

The organization behind this number has already used his iron fist to sanction many asset oligarchs with staggering asset inflation, and they are more dedicated than Addison's law enforcement agencies in every case of illegal asset flow and huge financial fraud.

Damn, he remembered that the company had not been involved in financial reality distortion crimes, nor had it been involved in the production of contraband, so how could anyone from heaven come over·······

"Where are they now, and have they left any message?" Morton continued to ask.

"There is only one name left, uh, Hugh Abraham, that's all that."

Hugh Abraham ······

Morton was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became extremely strange, he knew this name, and his name in the Transcendent Circle was even louder than this name.

Dragon Slayer, Angel of Death, Messenger of Natural Disasters.

Especially the last name, which perfectly matches all his past resumes and deeds.

"Entertain them with the highest standards, and if someone asks about it, you just say that they are important foreign guests, and you don't have to hide it or spread it around." Morton whispered to the staff.

"I see."

Puff –

The conversation ended with the staff bowing, and Moreton Edgar got up to straighten his clothes and began to walk in the direction of the reception room.

**********

Valais Thermoelectric Office Building Reception Room.

"Abraham, are you planning to defeat Giovanni by mixing up with Valle Thermoelectric?"

Tours was leaning limply on the black sofa chair at this time, while Zhou Zhou and Broly, the two 'honest men', were playing a small game console that came with the reception room, which was a square pixel game produced by Addisi, and the game content was a few square pixels jumping around to fight monsters.

"For financial warfare, the hunter holding the butcher's knife may also become the food for the prey and the new prey in the next second."

Xia Xiu, who was sitting at the front, was tirelessly flipping through the head-scratching financial journal reports and financial reports of the past six months.

"Takeovers and anti-takeovers, this is the eternal war of finance."

The blond young man closed a newspaper in his hand, looked up at Tours and said:

"For us, John Giovanni can only be prey."

"You're as good as ever..."

Knock Knock Knock –

While the two were talking, a rhythmic knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Please come in." Xia Xiu shouted at the door.

Squeak –

The door was pushed open, and a well-proportioned and athletic man, in his early forties, walked in, dressed in a custom-made dark gray suit with a well-fitting cut and neatly buttoned on the suit. Step on a pair of black leather shoes and wipe them clean and bright.

With his thick black hair slightly grayish but still neatly combed, and a slight stubble with a slight beard and sideburns, he seems to care a lot about his external appearance.

Morton Edgar's gaze scanned everyone present, and soon his gaze fell on the handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes, who he was sure to be an angel from heaven.

In all the rumors about the Scourge Messenger, there is a common description that it is actually easy to identify the other person, if he does not hide his existence, you only need to stare at his appearance, and the most dazzling one in the crowd must be him.

"You are the chairman of Valais Thermoelectric, Mr. Morton Edgar?"

Xia Xiu stood up and stretched out his hand at Morton, although he said the question, but the tone was quite affirmative.

"Yes, you are Mr. Abraham, and your name is far and wide."

Morton stretched out his right hand and shook it with the blonde youth, then shook it up and down.

"It's certainly not a good reputation." Xia Xiu replied with a smile.

"Ahaha, how could it be." Morton, on the other hand, has a clear conscience and talks nonsense.

The two sat down on the sofa chairs in the reception room in a hypocritical conversation, and as they sat down, Morton's hand swept over the various financial materials on the table, and just as he was about to continue to talk to each other on the topic, the blonde young man opposite directly opened the skylight to explain.

"Let's not stay too long in the polite speech session, let's jump right into today's topic."

Xia Xiu picked out the topic at Morton, who wanted to stop talking.

"John Giovanni, he is my target, your enemy, and the enemy of your enemy is a friend, and the purpose of our visit this time is also very simple, to help your company carry out a [reverse takeover] of Giovanni."

Listening to the blonde youth's straightforward words, the expression on Morton Edgar's face was not to mention rich.

As a partner, Tours was accustomed to his non-startling nature, and Mr. Morton had obviously not encountered such a situation, and the other party's next behavior caught him a little off guard.

[Trading behavior detected——]

[Temporary registration card holder, Van Helsing (pseudonym) took the initiative to activate the [White Knight] intervention permission to you!] 】

"This is my sincerity, I will be the [White Knight] of Valais Thermoelectric and decapitate the [Dark Knight] for you."

The blonde young man said to Morton Edgar.
