Chapter 204

“Grandma. Ken put down the tablet on his knees and held the phone tightly. “Don’t forget that Cadence’s mother also suddenly fell ill. This disease is inheritable, Wendell cares about his face. You know this very well. The reason why I stopped him from visiting was because I was afraid that he would forcefully bring her home despite Cadence’s condition for the sake of his face.

Margaret said, “That’s true.”

He said. “I can assure you that bringing Cadence to the hospital for treatment has nothing to do with Wendell’s mistakes in the company?

Margaret nodded and said, I’m relieved to hear that. However, what did Wendell do in the company!

He answered. “I’ll tell you in detail when the matter is resolved”

Margaret could only say, “Alright, I understand. If Cadence gets better, let me know immediately.

“Okay, Grandma” After the call ended, Ken looked up and asked James, “Has everything been arranged at the mental hospital?”

“Yes,” James nodded and said, “Cadence’s condition will only get worse.”

“Okay.” There was no pity in Ken’s eyes. He replied indifferently and asked, “Where is Wendell now!”

James quickly replied. “He is at Sky Hall, Ulric is also there. However, my subordinates said that the two of them had been in there for almost three hours. Ulric left half an hour ago, but Wendell has never come out” –

After a pause. James asked, “Should we get someone to sneak in and take a look?”

“There’s no need…” As soon as he finished speaking. Melody called.

The call was automatically connected to the car’s Bluetooth. The voice of Melody sounded from the car. “Ken”

Ken nodded with his eyes half–closed. His tone was emotionless as he asked, “What’s up?”

Melody sa

said. “On the forum, Wendell posted a post. He wanted to replace a doctor who knew nine–line acupuncture to treat Ulric’s leg. After I replied to him, I asked for 200 million dollars, and he agreed

When James, who was in the driver’s seat, heard this, he subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror nervously.

If Melody were to heal Ulric’s leg, he felt that there would be big trouble.

Ken’s expression did not change at all. He asked calmly, “Then”

Melody asked. “Then I want to ask you, what’s our next move?

When she went to Ximber Tech last time, she wanted to discuss the forum with Ken. However, Janer was present at that time, so she was not in the mood to talk about it.

Ken raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you very short of money? Why don’t you want to accept this deal? 200 million dollars is a lot.”

Melody said, “Let alone 200 million dollars, I won’t treat his legs even for 2 billion dollars”

Ken’s expression remained unchanged. “So what do you think!”

“My idea is to keep him on the book before confirming that no one else knows nine–line acupuncture in this world except Quentin and L. However..” Melody changed the topic and asked, “Is it possible to receive the payment before completing the bounty on the forum? I’ve accepted a few bounties in the past few days and found that they all require the other party to confirm twice before the money can be transferred.”

Ken’s expression finally changed. The comers of his lips curled up slightly as he asked. “You want to extort a sum from him?”

On the other end of the phone, Melody said matter–of–factly, Yes. Of course, I have to earn this money. But I just want to take the money and not do anything. How about it? Can we do it!”

Ken smiled faintly and said after two seconds, “No,”

“Why not” Melody asked in confusion, “200 million dollars is enough for him to suffer for a long time,

120

Currently, Ulric did not have much cash flow at his disposal. After losing 200 million dollars, Ulric’s influence would be weakened a lot. In this world, nothing could be done without money.

“The rule of the black market cannot be broken, Ken said concisely, “Once an exception is made, the credibility of the forum will be lowered in the

Chapter 904

eyes of users in the future. The forum will quickly collapse.”

Melody was stunned for a moment before she quickly understood Ken’s actions.

Indeed, if the black market wanted to operate in the long term, it could not make an exception for her selfish desires.

For any bounty

ounty on the forum, black market had to charge a 10% commission. This was undoubtedly a huge source of income.

It was indeed not worth it to make an exception for Ulric’s 200

0 million dollars. Melody felt that she was being inconsiderate.

“I’m sorry…” Melody apologized seriously, “I didn’t think too much about it. I just said it casually. Just pretend that I didn’t mention it just now.”

“Alright, Ken replied. He asked. “I there anything else?”

Melody said, “There’s something else. It’s not very important, but I think I should tell you”

Ken said. “Shoot.”

Melody said, “Ulric called me. He seems to be trying to rope me in

When Ken heard this, he looked up and glared at James, James happened to be looking in the rearview mirror. The moment their eyes met, he immediately looked away awkwardly and could not help but feel guilty

“I sec.” Ken calmly retracted his gaze. He looked calm, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Melody asked, “That’s your reaction?”

Ken said. “How should I react!!

“You should raise my daily salary. If I’m really poached, you’ll lose a lor, Melody said half–jokingly.

Ken said. “I think about it.”

You.. Forget it. I’m done. I’m hanging up With that, Melody ended the call

She pursed her lips and muttered to herself, Why didn’t Ken worry that Ulric would really poach me? Am I insignificant to him? This is the only explanation.

Melody’s expression darkened.

Inside

the Maybach, Ken looked up at James again. “Did you hear everything**

James shrunk his neck and said, “I shouldn’t doubt Miss Fox’s credibility. I won’t monitor Miss Fox’s calls anymore.

After a pause, James deliberately changed the topic and asked, “Wendell contacted our staff running the forum several times on the forum using his real name. He said that he wanted to see you and discuss cooperation with you. Do I need to do anything?”

“Ignore him” Ken’s eyes were filled with contempt.

Wendell was not smart enough to come up with the idea of collaborating with the black market. The person who really wanted to obtain the black market was obviously Ulric. However, Ulric would never have thought that the black market was his territory.

Soon, the car arrived at the Swanson Group.

Owen Nathan from Taynorma Capital was already waiting in the reception room.

When he saw Ken enter, he said with a smile, “Mr. Swanson, I asked to meet you yesterday, but your assistant said that you didn’t have time. I finally get to meet you now.”

Ken directly ignored him. He walked past Owen and sat on the chair. He slowly took a sip of coffee before opening his eyes to look at Owen. “After not seeing you for a few days, your mood seems to have improved a lot?”

Owen’s expression froze and he stopped smiling. After sitting opposite Ken, he went straight to the point. “I came here to tell you that you don’t have to let the merger lawyer work so hard to investigate anymore. We don’t plan to hand Taynorma Capital over to the Swanson Group”

After Owen finished speaking, he waited for Ken to reveal a shocked expression,

However, Ken had a half–smile on his face.

Owen felt confused.

Owen was instantly stunned. He lost his composure and asked, “What did you say?”

Ken was puzzled. “What’s wrong? You don’t seem to be very satisfied with my blessing”
