Chapter 851 Form A Strong Alliance
The arrow rested quietly on Morgan’s palm.
Josie didn’t take it. “I never expected you to be so ambitious that you’ve already expanded your business all the way to Wavery, Mr. Bastille.”
The people with Morgan were all higher-ups who held sway in Wavery. Right then, they were cautiously studying her, somewhat taken aback and apprehensive upon hearing her sharp words..
Over the past two years, she had undoubtedly been the most audacious woman in Wavery.
Since she wasn’t taking it, Morgan closed his palm and lifted one hand. A staff member timely handed him. a bow. Notching the arrow, he said, “Everyone thinks I love this city when I actually love one person living
in it.”
Having said that, he narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, the arrow flew out.
His movements were so swift that no one could react in time. The arrow whizzed past Josie’s ear, bringing a violent gust of wind and a sharp whistle.
Josie’s face turned pale even as the sound of an arrow hitting the target squarely rang out.
One of the higher-ups was the first to react, clapping his hands. “Bullseye! What superb archery skills, Mr.
Bastille!”
Morgan merely stared at Josie’s pale face with a smirk. “Was it exciting?”
Slowly snapping back to her senses, Josie realized that her ear wasn’t grazed at all, and there wasn’t a single, trace of injury. His archery skills were indeed impressive.
After she had gathered her wits about her, her temper instantly flared. She snagged a glass of water a staff member placed at the side and threw it at him. “Were you out of your mind?”
The sudden outburst frightened everyone. Only Morgan remained remarkably calm. He grabbed her hand and forcefully spun her around to his front before forcing her to grip the bow in his hand.
Every move of hers was controlled by him, including drawing the bow and notching the arrow.
“Let go of me, Morgan!” Josie’s face instantly flushed bright red in embarrassment. With so many people. watching, it was utterly disgraceful.
“Your archery skills are lacking, so let me teach you, Ms. Warren,” Morgan said loudly.
Everyone exchanged glances, at a loss as to the kind of game that big shot from Rivodia was up to.
“I don’t need you to teach me!” Josie hissed lowly, stepping on his leather shoe with her heel.
Morgan’s expression remained unchanged. Grasping her hand, he drew the bow, “In archery, it’s not just about aim but also the feel. If your strength is insufficient or your technique lacking, you won’t be able to hit the bullseye.”
His voice, deep yet tinged with the vibrancy of his youth, guided her gently in her ear
Josie instinctively shrank back

“Much like investing, money alone isn’t enough. You also have to consider the strength of the field and your own capabilities. Nothing can be forced,” Morgan said firmly. “With the participation of Russell Group for this project, coupled with Bastille Group’s investment, I’m confident that we can definitely form. a strong alliance.”
Right after he had said that, the arrow shot out once more, striking the same target as before.
It was still bullseye.
Morgan dropped his hold on her. “What do you think, Ms. Warren?”
He took the tissue from the staff and wiped his fingers meticulously, maintaining an upbeat and cheerful demeanor.
Josie frowned, truly at a loss as to what Morgan was up to. It was one thing for him to stir up trouble in Rivodia, but he had actually come all the way to Wavery to do the same..
At her prolonged silence, the higher-ups quickly interjected, “Yes, yes, it’ll be a strong alliance. With Ms. Warren’s team of designers, it’ll go from strength to strength! I’m sure this project will be a resounding
success.”
Morgan merely smiled without saying a word, waiting for Josie’s response.
Josie turned away, only to be swiftly pulled aside by a higher-up who warned in a hushed tone, “Morgan is a key figure in Wavery’s investment project for the next year. I don’t know what your relationship is with him, but we must keep him here. Don’t lose your temper, please!”
Upon hearing that, Josie shot the man a sidelong glance. “Keep him here? Is that necessary? He came running to give us money of his own accord.”
