The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 722

When the news came out, the entire Michigan was shocked. Even the senior officials of Michigan were sent out to investigate. However, the elder of the Stoermer family, Zayn, released information that the Hydra Group had been oppressive and acted in a tyrannical manner, committing many evil deeds. Not only did they formulate an overlord pact, but they also used illegal means to take over other companies, creating an industry monopoly that seriously undermined the rules of the business circle in Michigan. Recently, they even wanted to acquire the Stoermer family business maliciously. Hence, to make an example out of him, the Stoermer family trampled on him overnight. Suddenly, all the inquiries made by the officials died down one after another as they ceased asking. Nobody dared to offend the big giant of Michigan that was the Stoermer family. Even the countless industries of Hydra Group who had lost their backbone overnight fell into chaos. But no one dared to fight for control over the entire thing, afraid they would be blamed for the whole thing. They’d end up trying to gain an advantage, only to end up worse. That would also mean they were inviting trouble to themselves and might very well end up being annihilated. This was especially the case when rumor on the street was that the internationally renowned superstar, Zendaya, was actually the youngest granddaughter of the Patriarch of the Stoermer family in Michigan and would soon be engaged to the prince of Missouri’s Coleman family. Suddenly, the internet was in an uproar again. Zendaya, who had yet to be removed from the hot search, was once again ranked first on the hot topic section. Countless people sent their blessings on Zendaya’s Twitter. Even wealthy young heirs who had been yearning nonstop for her, still following her in private, hoping they would find her and take her for themselves in one swoop, banished those thoughts immediately, never to mention her name again. Regardless of whether it was the Stoermer or Coleman family, who would dare to tread on their toes? And finally, Michigan’s officials came forward to have a discussion with Zayn. The Stoermer family needed to annex the Hydra Group that was under their umbrella. Otherwise, all the projects and enterprises under that group would be incomplete, and many of the people under those companies would be left without a job. To the senior officials in Michigan, this was something they didn’t want happening since it would affect their higher-ups. *** On the same day, news of Lord Lex’s unfortunate death, owner Thousand Miles Conglomerate, spread all over California. Everyone was shocked. On the streets of California, some clapped their hands, and there were also those who were indifferent. Visitors poured into California from thousands of miles away to see Lord Lex for the last time. “Lex Gunther, this asshole. He’s finally dead!” “Good riddance! Such old bastards only bring disaster to the world, just by their existence alone. I’m going to buy some fireworks to celebrate!” The ones said all these were Vanya’s family, ordered to lick the toilets by Lord Lex. Now that they could no longer live in California in peace, they had run to the city next door. However, their living standards had dropped drastically compared to what they were. That was especially the case for Vanya, one who had never endured suffering, accustomed to the life of the rich, and never once had to be concerned about food and clothes, she felt extremely uncomfortable. It was only natural that she harbored extreme hate towards Lord Lex. Penelope said, “Lord Lexis dead, and there’s no one to sit at the top of Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Hubby, at this rate, do you think they can still keep their position in California?” Her husband, Adrian Tyler, said, “Lex Gunther was an orphan. He didn’t marry and had no children his entire life. He did adopt three children, however Azure, Clay, and Waltz. Hmph. The Thousand Miles Conglomerate has trillions worth in assets, so the upcoming question would be how these would be divided. It will soon become a massive show, a brawl among the three great Chieftains of California’s underworld for property and assets-a show of them fighting to kill each other!” Penelope asked, “Would it be possible for us to get a piece of it?” “The three great Chieftains under Lex Gunther are just martial artists. How would they manage businesses and companies? If that were to happen, it’d be a royal mess, and that would be our chance,” Adrian said. “It just so happens that I have a friend who deals in stocks. I’ll get him to attack Thousand Miles’ stocks, then buy it at a low price and take control of the group… At least, I’ll get California Plaza back and give it to you!” Penelope and Vanya immediately became excited after hearing his words. *** Meanwhile, at Hell’s Angels, Waltz, Azure, and Alex were gathered together. “Little Waltz, with father’s death, those idiots at senior management have started to move. They are all vying for the top position, and we can’t have the place without a leader. Take the president’s position, okay, Waltz?
