Chapter 134 Chapter 135 Sorrowful Solitude Amber paused, her breath caught in her throat as she scrolled through the relentless negative news about the Dunn Group on her phone. She stole a worried look at Shirley.
More than once, she thought about reaching out to Drake to inform him of the unfolding events.
However, noticing Shirley's icy demeanor, she decided against it.
Amber realized that, given the circumstances, even alerting Drake would not make a difference.
At that moment, the SunEast Bank's lobby felt eerily still, as if the air had thickened.
Everyone was aware of the situation.
The gap in financial strength was undeniable.
The Dunn Group was under a relentless attack from the Slaters! Daphne from Violetcrest International furrowed her brow, glancing at Shirley before shifting her gaze to Robin.
She was certain that Robin wouldn't remain passive.
Still, she was unsure of the steps this influential figure would choose to take She understood that, given the resources of Violeterest International, they were powerless against the Slaters' sanctions in Brookhaven targeting the Dunn Group.
Rygar paused briefly before speaking with a chill in his yoice, "Elian, do you really think you can act without restraint in Brookhaven just because of your wealth and influence? "I suggest you reconsider your actions! If you don't, the consequences will be severe!" Elian let out a derisive laugh. "Rygar. I'm aware of how you built your wealth. In Harmonfield, infamous as the underground kingpin of Harmonfield, carning the respect of many! "But that small amount means nothing compared to the power of my family! "You'd better keep your mouth shut! Otherwise, my family won't hesitate to eliminate another Abyssal Dominion!" Rygar knew all too well that his threats were serious.
With the Slaters' influence in Brookhaven, Abyssal Dominion wouldn't stand a chance! Not only were the Slaters among the richest in Brookhaven, but their ties to the underground far surpassed those of Rygar's organization.
It was unfathomable for him to use underground tactics against the Slaters.

Rygar glanced at Robin, his mouth tightening in frustration. "Elian, don't get too full of yourself! Even if your family is powerful, my Abyssal Dominion's hundred brothers are ready to take you on in Brookhaven! "Shawn, rally all the brothers and dismantle every one of the Slaters' businesses in Brookhaven! "Even if it costs Abyssal Dominion everything, we will fight the Slaters to the bitter end!" Shawn hesitated briefly before responding. "Understood, Mr. Rygar. I'll carry out your orders right away!" Elian burst into laughter. "An ant trying to shake a treel Rygar, how absurd! "You really believe you can challenge my family with such little resources? If you're seeking your demise, I'll gladly grant it!" As he finished his taunt, his assistant began to mobilize forces.
Soon enough, Rygar and Shawn's phones started ringing off the hook.
The calls were from the entertainment business connected to Abyssal Dominion, and chaos erupted across The board.
Rygar broke into a cold sweat.
He had known the Slaters were formidable in the underground, but he never imagined their influence extended into many of Abyssal Dominion's operations.
Shirley observed what was happening and remarked, "Mr. Rygar, there's no reason for you to step into this chaos. My family's issue shouldn't pull you into their troubles." Rygar pondered to himself. I have no ties to the Dunns. Why would I put myself in danger for you? I only want to impress Robin! I hope he takes action before the Abyssal Dominion falls.
If not, all my hard work would have been for nothing! Shawn glanced at the flood of messages arriving from all directions, his eyes rimmed with desperation. "Mr. Rygar, we need to act fast, or our Abyssal Dominion is doomed!" Rygar stepped on Shawn with the ferocity he had wielded two decades ago.
"Enough! I've survived more than you can imagine-there's nothing I haven't faced, nothing to fear! Even if Abyssal Dominion falls today, I'll make sure the Slaters pay dearly!" His roar sent a shudder through the entire lobby.
In Harmonfield, everyone on hard-won battles.

Yet, despite the severity, Shirley stayed composed.
Her gaze was resolute, her expression icy, with not a hint of fear.
Her grandfather had always reminded her that the Dunns prioritized loyalty and honor above all else, no matter the cost.
This t time, Robin had crossed paths with SunEast Bank The Dunn Group cut ties with SunEast Bank hastily, which led to the challenging situation they face today. But she felt no regret.
Kiara looked at the Dunn Group and Abyssal Dominion, which were quickly brought to a miserable state by her family's power in a few minutes.
With a laugh, she taunted, "Shirley, they call you the renowned Ms. Dunn of the Dunn Group, leader of Harmonfield's foremost family-the so-called goddess of Harmonfield.
"Today, the Dunns crumble under this catastrophe. I'm eager to see how you, the goddess of Harmonfield manage to keep any pride or dignity without the Dunns strength to back you, hahahs "If you kneel beforeand slap yourself 100 times, maybe I'll ask my uncle to show mercy to your family.
"Shirley, do you realize that if the Dunns fall, you'll have nothing left! "Your pretty face won't bring admiration, wealth, or applause anymore-only ruin. Hahaha....
Kiara laughed with a twisted glee..
Shirley looked at her with a cold stare and replied calmly, "You're truly pathetic." Kiara scoffed, "Shirley, your bold words mean nothing! Against real power, I suggest you learn to submit! "Do you really believe that your fragile pride and arrogance can stand against my family? "It's ridiculous!- "I can't comprehend what makes your Dunn Group so confident to cut off all ties with SunEast Bank.
"Have you forgotten that, to the major stakeholders of SunEast Bank, the Dunns are nothing more than insects? "By now, you must have learned what it means when 'money rules"! "Our family's fortune is like a mountain of gold, capable of crushing the Duan Group to nothing instantly!" 3/5 Chapter 135 Sorrowful Solitude Her words instantly lifted the spirits of the bank staff who were counting rath tunak As employees of SunEast Bank, they suddenly felt a supe of pride, as if their own she had you don ju At that moment, each of them felt they held more stars than the famed goddess of Harminded, Shirey Dunn.

Tused to think Ms. Dunn held all the influence, but they're completely powerless against our boss "They really believe they can shake up SunEast Bank by pulling together billions in cash overnight. What a joke!" "The Dunn Group's influence is so small. How can they even think they're in a position to end their partnership with SunEast Bank? They're just fooling themselves!" Sebastian, who had remained quiet until now, frowned deeply.
Even though the Slaters had the strength to overcthe Dunns in a fit of rage, it would cat a significant cost to them.
Such behavior was merely a small act of rebellion.
For someone who truly understood business, it held no value.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a moment of hesitation, he leaned toward Elian and murmured, "Mr. Slater, think we should end things here. A small lesson to demonstrate your power to vel Dunns is sufficient. We don't need to wipe them out entirely.
"While the Dunn Group might seem insignificant to the Slaters, they are still a prominent family in Harmonfield.
"If we p push them too far, it could bring serious trouble to us.
"Moreover, it could set off a ripple of negative consequences across all of Brookhaven.
"The reputation of SunEast Bank would suffer significantly, possibly leading to the complete loss of all domestic business." Elian let out a scoff. "Considering how things are now, losing all our domestic business wouldn't change a thing!" He intentionally raised his voice so that everyone in the lobby could hear.
"Since we're discussing this, let's share sgood news with our staff.
"Our SunEast Group is set to form a strategic partnership with the Aldridges tonight.
"This partnership with the Aldridges will allow us to expand our SunEast Group's operations on a global, 4/5 JU, UN LI 5 Chapter 135 Sorrowful Solitude +10 Free Coint scale! "In time, our company will no longer focus on the small Draconia market, much less our domestic business!" As soon as Elian finished speaking, the staff in the Sundast Bank's lobby erupted in cheers.
The SunEast Group is actually about to partner with the Aldridges, one of the world's top five tycoons." "This means that SunEast Group will transform into an international corporation." "Once we officially team up with the Aldridges, our profits will soar in less than six months!" "As a result, the Slaters will rise to becthe number one family in Draconia." "With a tycoon like the Aldridges backing us, SunEast Bank won't even need to focus on domestic business!
"The Dunns, Violetcrest International, Abyssal Dominion, and even them Wrights in Brookhaven have all cut ties with us. What can they do about it?"
"At that point, these individuals will merely be able to watch from a m distance as SunEast Bank makes its mark on the global stage." As Amber listened to the enthusiastic chatter among the SunEast Bank staff in the lobby, a wave of anxiety washed over her.
Glancing at the dwindling market share of the bunn Group on her phone, she leaned closer and whispered, "Ms. Dunn, should won et reach out to Ms. Freya and see if her uncle, Mr. Wright, can step in?" Shirley shook her head. "I prefer not to involve anyone in our family's affairs." At that moment, a flicker of sorrowful solitude crossed her eyes.
She understood that the Dunns were struggling to get through this day.
With a sense of regret, she realized that against the formidable-Slaters, the Dunn's couldn't provide Robin with the response he deserved. She gazed helplessly at Robin and offered a bitter smile.
At that moment, she was telling Robin that she had done everything within her power, and the Dunns had put forth all their efforts.
