Another World Mall-Chapter 980: Grandpa Time

"Sir. The OpenSky Company is holding on, but it won’t be much longer." A female secretary reported with a serious expression.

"Heh." The middle-aged man scoffed. "What about Jeremy Skylark? Is there any movement from the Sky Group?"

"Not yet, sir."

"He is always late in doing things. That’s why he can’t become richer. Well, that doesn’t matter. By the time he makes his move, it will be too late.

"There is no point in clinging to a rope that is about to snap. Well..." The middle-aged man waved his hand, dismissing her.

The secretary bowed first and left the room.

"...I’m going to thoroughly enjoy the prize." The middle-aged man smirked. "That cheeky brat. Once I get my hands on you, I will definitely correct you with everything I have."

He licked his lips as if he were imagining something vulgar.

...

Absalom.

Hana crossed her arms. "They are going to get a massive injection. The time to make their move is coming closer and closer."

"So, you’re telling me that you want to lose in the first round?" Jeremy asked while watching the information update with her.

"Yes. It is necessary to pull him in first. I’m not going to stop until he gets kicked out of his company." Hana snorted.

"So, you’re planning a hostile takeover?"

Hana confirmed it with a nod. It was a move that was rather frowned upon in the business world, but plenty of companies did it every year. It wasn’t that big a matter.

The only thing that changed was that Hana was actually trying to grab the seventh biggest company in the world.

Jeremy thought for a moment before saying, "I don’t think you should do it."

"Why? I have told you regarding this vulgar man who is trying to pull me into his bed. Does he not know his age?" Hana glared at him.

"No. What I mean is that you shouldn’t do it. This kind of dirty takeover should be done by me." Jeremy shook his head with a cold gaze.

"You?"

"Yeah. I don’t want you to mess with your reputation so easily, especially at that age. Meanwhile, I have done a lot of things, and I am going to pass away in a decade, at most two.

"Leave this dirty job to me. Besides, my capital is higher than yours. If you want to do such a thing in the future, do it after you pay respects in front of my grave. Before that, I’ll do it." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Grandpa!" Hana was speechless.

"What? I’m already used to hearing ’Fucking Capitalist!’, ’Evil Trillionaire’, or ’Bad Boss.’

"Adding one more shouldn’t be too bad. You may not want any support from me, but I want to do it myself. If you are not going to let me do it, then we will have a civil war first. By that time, I probably won’t have enough money to face off that guy." Jeremy shrugged.

"You..." Hana bit her lip. It looked like Jeremy didn’t plan to back down.

It was indeed good for her. Hana felt very grateful for it.

But this one would harm his reputation, and she didn’t want to involve others when she could handle it herself.

Seeing her grandfather’s face, she knew that it would be impossible to convince him. So, Hana could only let out a long sigh.

"Good." Jeremy smiled and took out his phone. "Ryan. It’s time to bring out that weapon.

"Yeah, yeah. That weapon. It’s time for me to use it. Please tell our teams to prepare for a hostile takeover.

"I’ll give you the signal later, so prepare it as soon as possible. All right. I’ll leave it to you."

"What weapon are you talking about?" Hana tilted her head in confusion.

"How much fund do you think I have right now?" Jeremy asked with a playful smile.

"I am not sure. From the way I see it, you should have at least 3 trillion in the bank and your slush fund should be about 5 trillion."

"Learn a bit more, kid." Jeremy smirked. "I have a total of 14 trillion."

"What?" Hana gasped.

Jeremy just looked away with a smug smile. "You need to upgrade your information gathering a bit more. At least, I expect you to find at least 10 million."

"How..." Hana simply couldn’t imagine he had such a large slush fund.

"That’s your homework this time. Figure it out." Jeremy shrugged. "Anyway, you don’t have to worry about me not having enough money. I can beat that guy’s ass by myself."

Jeremy stood up. "In any case, I definitely need to borrow a bit more money. So, I’m going to visit some friends and the bank. It’s best to let our opponent be wary of me... just a little bit."

Hana bit her lip before calling his name as he was about to reach out for the door. "Grandpa."

Jeremy turned around. "Yes? Any other questions?"

"I want to show you something later. Once all this is done, would you mind sparing some of your time with me?"

"You are truly my granddaughter. You should have just smiled at me and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I love you," and you wouldn’t have to do anything else."

Jeremy shook his head helplessly. Then again, he was the one who ended up teaching her to live this way.

So, it could be said he was just reaping what he had sown. "Well, I definitely have a lot of time at this age. Besides, your father is supposed to inherit my business while you are building your own empire.

"This will be a good lesson for both of you." Jeremy waved his hand and took his leave. "It’s Grandpa Time!"

Hana looked down, feeling a bit ashamed. She lowered her head and bowed as if thanking him for everything.

She wanted to show him Clovis’ gallery. Unlike her, Jeremy was also a fighter who had reached Tier 8.

It would be useful to him, so this was the least she could do to repay him. But it was hard for him to just agree with it... yeah, just like her.

Still, all that could wait until they beat their enemy.
