“Hurry up and look at the Irving family's stock price!”
Not long after Donald shot down the helicopter, the Irving family's stock price plummeted from a peak price of one hundred twenty to just nineteen, suffering nearly a hundredfold drop.
D*mn! Donald is ruthless. This is a severe blow to the Irving family! Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Initially, everyone thought Donald was joking, but now it was evident he was being serious. Moreover, he had the capability to follow through.
What dumbfounded everyone further was that not only did the Irving family's stock price crash, but almost at the same time, news about domestic authorities cracking down on the Irving family for business information leaks, illegal financing, and profiteering started circulating on various media outlets.
Those people were savvy businesspeople.
If the steep fall in stock price only left the Irving family hanging by a thread, then those pieces of news were sufficient to be the final straw that broke the camel's back for the clan.
Everyone in that circle knew bankruptcy wasn't the scariest outcome.
After all, if one's corporation went under, they would still have other companies to support their living. That was what they termed as keeping a card up one's sleeve.
However, in the Irving family's case, they were completely doomed after being targeted by relevant authorities all of a sudden.
Their real estate, corporate assets, and anything of value would be legally seized and confiscated, leaving them utterly penniless.
More importantly, if the authorities uncovered any criminal activities during their investigation, the principal figures of the Irving family might end up behind bars, facing criminal charges.
Hence, Donald's move demonstrated just how formidable he was.
Dragon Fide Corporation truly possessed great influence and extensive reach.
“The Irving family has met its downfall. Who else wants to end up like them?”
The heads of the remaining eight prestigious families looked at each other and made a decision almost simultaneously.
Pride was only useful if they could survive.
Now that they were on the brink of their demise, there was no point in preserving their dignity.
At that thought, the heads of all the eight prestigious families said to Donald, “Mr. Campbell, we'll follow your instructions and do as you say.”
Donald nodded in satisfaction. “Very well. I want all of them to kneel and grovel at my feet.”
In the past, the eight prestigious families would never have agreed to submit to Donald, but things were different now.
The construction of Dragon Fide Villa was nearing completion, and the world's most luxurious and upscale area for the rich would be wrapped up soon.
By then, Donald was very likely to become one of the wealthiest men in the world.
In addition, those Ten Prestigious Families failed to gain any benefits from Donald over the years. Instead, they'd spent a lot of time, money, and manpower to oppose him.
At that moment, they clearly understood Donald wasn't the same person he used to be, and Dragon Fide Corporation was also no longer a corporation they could easily manipulate.
Demanding them to grovel at his feet was considered a merciful punishment.
If Donald was displeased, he could easily blacklist all of them.
Realizing that, the heads of the eight prestigious families abandoned all reservations.
Watching the scions of the eight prestigious families kneel and uniformly grovel at Donald's feet, the business elites of New Littbourg grew more determined than ever to pursue Donald. Bloody h*ll. If he can make the Ten Prestigious Families yield to him, who else in Yorksland will dare to challenge him?
Considering how sensibly the eight prestigious families reacted, Donald didn't make things difficult for them and directly ordered the financial tycoons of Dragon Fide Corporation to stop, and spared them.
After the banquet ended, Donald told Geraldine to contact him if there were any problems. Then, he immediately drove back to Pollerton, eager to see Jennifer.
