Chapter 172 Sunshine Group

Owen was being honest, but it made Isabella's face flush with embarrassment.

Even Jeremy sighed to himself, wondering if there was any way to dodge this situation.

The Watson family was in a tight spot, being targeted by a big shot ranked eighth on the TigerRankings.

If this TigerRankings powerhouse was really here for his son's love, it might be easier to handle. But it was clear the person had other motives. Owen's decision to hand over the Watson family to Jeremy was definitely the right call.

Owen trusted Isabella's judgment and their long-time friend, Stan, who had been with the Watson family for years.

Jeremy didn't turn down Owen's offer. As Owen mentioned, he had important things to do, and to get them done, he needed serious financial backing.

He couldn't reveal his identity. Sure, doing so would instantly make him super rich, but it would also put his life in danger again.

He had to take it slow, handling each task one step at a time.

Financial support would let him move forward without so many worries.

The combined wealth of the Bailey family and the Taylor family was only a few hundred billion dollars, most of which was tied up in fixed assets. Even adding the few hundred billion dollars Alfred left him, it barely reached a trillion dollars.

But the Watson family's wealth wasn't just a trillion dollars; that was an understatement. The Watson family's assets were vast, passed down through generations, incomparable to newer families.

The Watson family owned the most mines in Starcrest, which was why the Wilson family from the WestRiver Region traveled so far to collaborate with the Watson family in Sunrise.

Their vast mineral resources were highly coveted by many powerful families.

Despite the growth of renewable energy, it underscored the consumption and scarcity of traditional energy sources.

The price of minerals increased year by year, so it was no surprise that the Watson family's profits attracted attention.

The Watson family's assets were so extensive that even professionals would need days to inventory everything.

Yet, with a single word from Owen, the trillion-dollar fortune was handed over to Jeremy.

The key was that no one in the Watson family opposed it!

Before three days had passed, the Watson family had already arranged everything!

On that very day, the Watson family announced that their family business would form a new joint venture with the Bailey Group.

All of the Watson family's assets would be managed by this new company.

And the president of this new company was Jeremy.

But that wasn't all. The Watson family, the Bailey Group, the Taylor family's Horizon Group, the Wallace family's Homestead Group, and Jace's SweetTech Company all joined in.

Even the Rogers family's PeaceGuard Company became part of it!

When this bombshell news broke, the entire city of Sunrise was in an uproar!

What was going on?

The bigger the business, the more shocking this news was.

If it were just a collaboration between one or two companies, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, there was the precedent of the Hillside Town project, where the Bailey Group and the Wallace family had worked together.

But this wasn't just a project collaboration; it was a genuine joint venture, integrating all resources.

The Watson family was already the only top-tier family in Sunrise.

With the Bailey family and so many other groups joining forces to form a new company, someone quietly calculated that the new company's wealth exceeded three trillion dollars.

Not just in Starcrest, but nationwide, how many companies had assets exceeding three trillion dollars?

Such a massive, resource-integrated company had enormous potential.

When Seth heard the news, he wasn't mad at the Watson family's actions; instead, he was thrilled.

Seth chuckled, "Good, very good!"

Gabe, on the other hand, didn't look so pleased. The Watson family's move felt like a direct slap in the face to him.

Rumors were spreading that Owen wasn't dead but had taken his wife and family abroad.

Gabe scowled, "Mr. Harvey, the Watson family has fled, leaving only Isabella behind. It seems he doesn't care much about his daughter!"

Seth laughed heartily, "Gabe, what we want is the entire business world of Sunrise. The hardest step has already been taken for us!"

"Now, half of Sunrise's assets are in Jeremy's hands. This is a good thing!"

Gabe was still puzzled, "Mr. Harvey, I don't quite get it."

He was focused on becoming stronger and wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, which was why he became a Martial Artist and achieved Supreme Grandmaster status at his age.

Seth explained, "The Watson family handed their assets to Jeremy. Now, Jeremy controls such vast capital."

"Doesn't he have a GhostHealer as his teacher?"

"If I make Jeremy my subordinate, wouldn't Sunrise be mine?"

He felt a sense of pride. For him, acquiring just the Watson family's assets was different from acquiring twice that amount.

If he could subdue Jeremy, he would undoubtedly become the top figure among the younger generation of the Harvey family, with an unshakable position.

Gabe understood a bit more and whispered, "Mr. Harvey, I get it. But what if Jeremy doesn't cooperate?"

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. He had been determined to take over the Watson family, and now it seemed to belong to Jeremy.

He didn't want Jeremy to cooperate. If Jeremy became Seth's subordinate, he might have to work for Jeremy, which wasn't ideal for him.

Seth chuckled, "In the face of absolute power, he will cooperate!"

Jeremy had already become a prominent figure in Sunrise, and now he stood at the pinnacle of Sunrise's business world.

The newly established company was called Sunshine Group, with a deep meaning.

Jeremy hoped that one day he could stand in the sunlight, reclaim his true name, and clear his name of all accusations.

Sunshine Group was officially launched the next day. With money, things were easier, and as a student of GhostHealer, the governor's office quickly approved their application.

Even the Brooks family couldn't compete with Jeremy now.

Claire controlled the underground world, while Jeremy became a business giant in Sunrise, achieving in a short time what many couldn't in a lifetime.

With so many companies joining Sunshine Group, its cash flow alone exceeded hundreds of billions of dollars.

Its assets were vast and varied!

Real estate, property management, mining, hotels, dining, investment, finance, and more. The potential of these integrated industries was unimaginable.

Some even predicted that if Sunshine Group developed without external interference, it might become the only trillion-dollar company in Starcrest.
