Chapter: 6764

Tawanna shrugged her shoulders in despair: "Mr. Lei, finding someone who can intimidate them would be very difficult... even if we could find one, it would be someone connected to them, so it's actually better not to help them, which means I won't have any chance of getting help either..."

As she was speaking, she asked Lei Chen: "Mr. Lei, wouldn't it be better to try contacting that winner in America and see if we can get his help?"

Lei Chen said: "Contacting him isn't a problem, but doing so now would be awkward. Firstly, if you contact him at this moment, he'll just think you're using him to escape your current predicament. Secondly, he hasn't fully transitioned yet and doesn't have enough intimidating power. If he were to intimidate the other side now, they might not really take it seriously."

Lei Chen continued: "Furthermore, by contacting him at this moment, you're essentially seeking his protection in exchange for your loyalty. In our Chinese culture, that would be equivalent to becoming a traitor. He's a businessman, and when he asks someone to become a traitor, the price won't be small."

Tawanna asked confused: "Mr. Lei, what do you mean by 'traitor'?"

Lei Chen said: "Traitor refers to when you switch from one camp to another, wanting to join forces with a new group. To prove your loyalty and show that you won't betray the previous group again, you'll have to do something to completely cut ties with the previous group. If you want to join a gang, you'll have to kill your former comrades; if you want to become an enemy, you'll have to sell out your old friends. If you seek his protection now, he will likely ask you to publicly express your loyalty on all social media platforms, and your tens of millions of fans will become direct witnesses."

Tawanna gritted her teeth: "If there's no other way, I can do it too."

Lei Chen waved his hand: "I'm advising you to change camps, but I don't recommend doing so directly. In urgent situations, sudden changes can cause all your followers to desert you, and even lead to a catastrophic collapse. Once they feel hurt, they will turn against you, and who knows what kind of insults and criticisms will be spread across the entire network overnight."

Tawanna knew Lei Chen's words were serious, but at this moment, she really had no other way. The 10 billion dollars was stuck, even if she survived this night, there would be many more nights ahead.

She couldn't help but leave two rows of hot tears behind her, helpless: "Besides him, I really can't think of anyone else who could solve this problem."

Lei Chen said calmly: "The situation may be difficult, but it's not hopeless. I can help you find a friend of mine in America, my friend has some influence there, no matter who is behind the scenes, I'll let him track down that person and force them to cancel their plans. After the plan is cancelled, you can leave this place."

Tawanna couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lei, those people... their backgrounds are extremely powerful, each with a large corporation's backing. Even the winner in America would find it hard to exert sufficient pressure on them. Can your friend really suppress these people?"

Lei Chen said his friend had some influence in America and was indeed humble, which left Tawanna feeling very uncertain.

At this moment, Lei Chen smiled and said, "Corporations also come in different sizes. Some have only local influence, while others are useless even locally. And some may not be effective even within their own territory."

As he spoke, Lei Chen casually glanced at Miyamoto Ryōta once again.

This was actually meant for him to hear.

Miyamoto Ryōta couldn't help but feel embarrassed and his face turned bright red, as if he had been caught off guard. He was the head of the powerful three-generation clan, Miyamoto family, after all. Even the notorious Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza organization was no match for him, so he did indeed lose some face.

Lei Chen saw his embarrassed expression and decided not to pursue the matter further, instead turning to Tawanna and saying, "However, my friend in America does have some clout, I believe this would be no big deal for him."

He then pulled out his phone and sent a text to his loyal apprentice, Steve Rosenthal, the designated successor of the Rockefeller family.

Steve Rosenthal had been having an easy time lately. He was now sitting on the throne, having recently strengthened his ties with Lei Chen during their last trip to China. He spent each day feeling carefree, only waiting for his father to step down one day.

At this moment in America, it was morning. Steve was still waking up after just getting out of bed and enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, when he received Lei's call. His whole body suddenly came alive, with his voice filled with genuine enthusiasm as he said, "Mr. Lei, what business do you have with me?"

"Heh, Steve!" Leaf Chen said. "I have something I need to ask you for help with. I'm not sure if you're busy or not."

"Ah, ya!" Steve exclaimed. "Mr. Leaf, whatever it is, you can just tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll get it done no matter what. If it's beyond my abilities, I'll still give it my all!"

Leaf Chen replied calmly, "There are people in America who have put up a 10 billion dollar bounty to kill Tavanna Svyet and I think they're probably connected to that island. They're a financial giant, and so is your Rockefeller family. I believe you should have some insight into them."

Originally, Leaf Chen's bodyguards, Tairiku Ryouichi and Tavanna, didn't feel anything out of the ordinary when Leaf Chen called someone named Steve on the phone. After all, Steve was just a normal name in America, like Wei, Tao, or Bao. JrNovels.com
