A few minutes ago…
Celine and Denali were discussing together what moves they were supposed to make next. Since Celine was also helping managing some of the companies that were owned by Jack, and she was also smart, the two ladies often discussed what they were supposed to do.
Currently, they were inside a hotel. This was of course another branch of the Glaze hotel that had been opened in the city.
Due to the expansion of the hotel, Denali had suggested that the hotel could open several branches inside the city. This way, the number of customers that they would be getting would definitely increase.
And since Jack didn't mind, they immediately agreed to that suggestion. The higher the number of hotels were opened, the higher the income that he was going to receive by the end of the month.
It was just a pity that, there wouldn't be any first income reward that would come from the branches.
Jack had tried exploiting a bug from the system by trying to open several small hotels so that he could gain several fast income rewards.
But in the end, the system shut down his dream. It stated that, as long as he currently possessed the Glaze hotel, even if he decided to open several small hotels, he was not going to receive any first income reward because he had already targeted the hotel as a monopoly in the future.
This meant that, as long as Jack was intending to make any of his companies a monopoly, there was no way that he was going to receive any first income reward from opening several companies of the same industry.
The only way that he was going to gain the first income reward was by purchasing other companies. And during the following month, he could go ahead and merge them.
Back to the present, the two ladies were currently inside a private room that they had taken. Since they were discussing business, it was obvious that they wouldn't discuss something like that in public.
"Denali, do you think that there's a way that we can speed up the merging process of the two entertainment companies?" Celine asked as she put down the glass of orange juice.
Currently, she was wearing a white blouse and a black skirt alongside matching high heels.
Denali thought for a moment before she finally came up with an idea. "I think the best way that we can use to complete the merging process as soon as possible is by making the two to become twin companies."
Denali on the other hand was wearing a green dress that accentuated her figure. With her always cold expression, she looked like a cold beauty.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Celine was confused as she asked.
"Instead of trying to shift everything from one company to the other, we can make them to be like partners. In this way, all the staff members of each company would remain in their own companies." Denali began explaining.
"Later on, it can be considered as a partnership between the two companies. They would be sharing information, content, or they would sometimes be producing the same thing by sharing the stars."
Celine thought about that and found that this was indeed the best way. She didn't know the reason as to why Jack was hurrying to merge the two companies.
But still, she wanted to support him fully. Since she wasn't strong enough to protect him, then she might as well help him with some of the miscellaneous things.
"By the way, do you think that it is possible for us to purchase a few more companies? It seems that Jack wants to become a monopoly in the entertainment industry as well." Celine asked.
"That is something that can be done. As long as we offer the owners of these companies offers that they cannot refuse, they would definitely sell their companies to us." Denali replied.
With the business abilities that she currently possessed, she was so good at bargaining or discussing other things that were related to business. As such, it wasn't hard for her to convince others to sell their properties.
That was just how she had managed to acquire some of the very best fighting clubs in the country.
The two ladies then went ahead and continued discussing a few other things. Sometimes, Celine would ask for assistance from Denali about how she was supposed to handle some issues in the companies that she was managing.
Even though she wasn't willing to agree that she was inferior to Denali, she had no choice but to do so. After all, not only was Denali good at fighting, but she was also good at business.
But even so, she wasn't willing to give up and had decided that she was going to work even harder so that she could be of more assistance to Jack.
As for Denali, since the two of them were not enemies, then she could use this chance to learn as much as possible from her. Even though she was prideful, she knew about the times where her pride was to be set aside.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Just then, they had the sound of someone knocking at the door. The two ladies frowned as they were not expecting any guest at the moment.
Denali got to her feet and went towards the door to open it. Still, she was quite impatient, as there was a person who was interrupting their discussion.
The two ladies had formed a kind of bond of friendship and would discuss some things concerning ladies. That was what they usually did in case they wanted to relax.
When she opened the door, Denali was surprised to find that there was an unfamiliar lady in front of the door. The lady was a beauty and she had a kind of charming feeling on her.
It was quite strange, but at this moment, Denali could feel that there was a hint of danger from the person in front of her.
The lady was dressed In a long overcoat. This wasn't that much strange considering that it was raining so much recently. So, the temperature were quite low.
But with Denali's sharp gaze, she was able to easily tell that the lady was hiding something beneath that overcoat. Added with the danger that she had detected, she could immediately tell that the lady in front of her was quite suspicious.
But what made Denali's heart palpate at this moment was that, ever since she had taken the body strengthening solution, she had never met with the situation where she felt that there was danger. This was the first time.
As for Jack, before he gave her the body strengthening solution, she could immediately tell that he was stronger than her. But, the lady in front of her didn't give her any kind of signs that she was stronger.
"Hello. I'm here to see someone." The lady stated with a smile on a face. But at the same time, in her heart, she was quite stunned.
'This lady seems to be different. But anyway, it doesn't matter as long as she doesn't get in my way. Otherwise, I'm going to finish her off.' The lady thought to herself.
"Hello. Who are you here to see?" Denali asked with a frown on her face. Not to mention the fact that they had prohibited the staff members of the hotel from giving information about the room that they were currently situated in, how was it possible that the lady in front of her knew that the person that she was looking for was present inside this private room?
"I am here to look for Miss Celine. I have a business to talk with her." The lady stated.
Denali frowned. The lady was actually looking for Celine? But, for some reason, Denali believed that the lady in front of her wasn't here for a good reason.
"May I know who you are?" Denali questioned.
"You can call me Samantha." The lady replied nonchalantly.
That's right, the lady who was here was Samantha, who was also from the stronghold.
She had done her investigation and had already found the target. And that was the reason as to why he was here.
Since she didn't know what it was that Erick wanted to get from that soldier, she decided that she was going to ask him direct. But, she wanted to have a big bargaining chip.
That was the reason as to why she had done her investigation and found out that Celine was Jack's girlfriend. With Celine's life in her hand, she would have another beginning chip after she managed to get Jack.
The reason why she was so patient with Denali was due to the fact that, not only was Denali giving her a strange vibe, but she was not intending to utilize her strength because she was afraid that she would alarm Erick.
At this time, Celine who had been listening all along came to the door with a frown on her face. She looked at the lady in front of her with confusion.
"Miss, I don't think I know you. Could it be that you have mistaken me for someone else?" Celine couldn't help but ask.
"Hehehe. You are funny. How can I mistake you for someone else when I already said that I am looking for you? You not knowing me doesn't mean that I don't know you." Samantha chuckled as she replied.
"What is it that you want to discuss with me?" After a moment of silence, Celine questioned.
"It's quite simple actually. I want to borrow you for a moment so that I can get something from your boyfriend easily." Samantha replied bluntly. She wasn't afraid of the two ladies at all, and immediately revealed her intention.
Both Denali and Celine were dumbfounded. They couldn't help but look at Samantha blankly as they wondered if she was playing a prank on them.
Before they could react, at a fast speed, Samantha stretched her hand forward as she attempted to grab Celine.
But just as the hand was about to get a hold of Celine, another hand appeared and blocked it by grasping it on the wrist.
Immediately after that, Denali didn't hesitate and kicked Samantha away. She utilized her full strength this time.
Bang!
Samantha smashed onto the wall behind her. At this moment, her expression was quite strange as she looked at Denali. This was completely unexpected to her.
At the same time, Denali took out her phone and immediately contacted Jack.
"Hello Denali, what's up?" Jack asked from the other end of the call.
"Boss, we are currently facing trouble. There's someone who is here to take away madam." Denali replied anxiously.
