1214: Aftermath

Aftermath

In the dark room, a middle-aged man walked to the table and opened his Skylink, receiving a call from four people at the time. They were the people who held the highest power in the four countries of Great Britain.2

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man was none other than the Fist Saint.

As soon as he received the call, he narrowed his eyes and muttered coldly, "I've heard the news. Did that old hag… really die?"

"It was your fault, Fist Saint! If not for you cooperating with that America's congressman, we wouldn't need to experience this massive loss!" England's Queen spoke, glaring at the Fist Saint.

"What do you mean it was my fault? It was her decision, not mine."

However, the other party didn't seem to be planning to listen to him as the queen continued, "We've decided to send them some money for recuperation, and you're going to be responsible for taking care of the problem."

"Hey! Did you just threaten me?" The Fist Saint shouted, stopping them from talking.

Unfortunately for him, they had his weakness too.

"If you don't do this, then don't blame us for telling the people of your location. You're heavily injured right now. I wonder how many people want your head. Normal Mythical Rank Experts or those among the top one hundred…"

"You, bitch." The Fist Saint gritted his teeth. After becoming the top expert in the world, he was a man that would be respected everywhere. Even Egypt's president was polite to him. After all, he was an asset that was worth at least one thousand Mythical Rank Experts. Even a superpower country only had 500 to 1000 Mythical Rank Experts. So, one of the top ten experts was enough to make the country a superpower.

That was why he couldn't accept that they were threatening him.

Still, it didn't change the fact that he was heavily injured. Although he had some confidence in dealing with one or two top one hundred experts, he would be in trouble if more of them came. And in the worst case, one of the top ten experts would come too.

With the addition of the empty seat of the Death Reaper, the people would be fighting for the top ten seats.

Hence, this threat wasn't an empty one.

"We would be happy if Egypt also suffered like us."

"Enough!" The Fist Saint slammed the table. "I will tell my disciple and assistant to take care of them."

"Then, we'll be waiting for your cooperation."

After receiving what they wanted, all of them shut down their cameras while the Fist Saint tried hard to calm his anger.

"Star Group! Joker! Good, good, good. I will remember this." The Fist Saint's eyes were emanating killing intent. He couldn't wait until he recovered and killed Joker. Still, he had a question in his mind. "Who is Joker exactly? That Old Hag confirmed it was his real face, but I never saw that face… Is he really a hidden expert?"

…

The United States of America.

"Not good! We just lost two Mythical Rank Experts."

"A few of our Mythical Rank Experts are leaving because they're scared of the threat from the Fist Saint."

"What? Why did the Fist Saint treat us like this? Wasn't he attacking the Star Group?"

"I don't know. Either way, the company is in peril. We need to reorganize the company."

In another company, the same chaos also happened.

"The CEO has died in his home. We don't know the cause yet."

"Many investors are also pulling away! We'll have a massive loss this month."

"Not only that, we might go under if this continues."

"We need to stabilize our company."

The chaos spread to all enemies that wanted to destroy the Star Group. Of course, the list came from Hendry and Patrick. The Beggar Association dealt with the negotiation by promising to return the Death Reaper's corpse. They wouldn't want to see the Death Reaper's body getting mutilated and shown to the world since she was the idol in many people's hearts.

Even Great Britain wondered how the beggars could defeat this powerful expert on their own. The only possible outcome was that they were helped by a great person. Unfortunately, it would be hard to find the exact details because the beggars closed their gates, enjoying their fame.

Meanwhile, Maya was stuck in her office. As the CEO of the Star Group and the Starry Group, she took care of all the enemies and the company's recovery.

It seemed Myan-Myan's interview helped a lot because the company's reputation soared to the sky, knowing there was a strong man in the Star Group.

Theo's strength had been witnessed by so many people.

Maya pushed that matter back and held a banquet for the people who remained loyal to the Star Group and the Starry Group. Whether they were just a Normal Rank or Mythical Rank Expert, they came together after experiencing such a turbulent time.

Obviously, a lot of them felt relieved that their choice was right. And due to this event, Maya's popularity also increased within the company because Maya had changed and even apologized for her arrogant behavior before.

With the addition of recovering the company, Maya's reputation soon rivaled that of Bernard's. Even if he was kidnapped again this time, the company wouldn't lose their trust that easily from this point on.

Of course, Bernard still worked in the company because he promised Maya to help until the company stabilized.

In the end, the Star Group's reputation had soared while Theo's hidden plan also worked. It was the loss of trust in the military.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the government was the one who caused all this mess. With Maya not believing in the government anymore, there wouldn't be any more impossible tasks for him to take care of.

After so much struggle, Maya had decided to merge the Star Group and the Starry Group since they only had one CEO. It made the control even easier for her.

Although the ranking of the company had gone down to 10th from 4th, the addition of the Starry Group allowed her to push the ranking to 8th. After they recovered, she wanted to aim for the top spot, showing Theo that she was more capable than he thought she was. This little rivalry between them would continue for a long time.
