Chapter 185: Heading to Dawnwater Coast
Logan had connections in high places, so naturally, he saw things more clearly. In his view, only PhoenixFury would dare to send out that red card.
Zayne asked curiously, "Logan, Avalonia's huge. Why'd she pick Sunrise to send the red card?"
Logan laughed heartily, "PhoenixFury, like many others, thinks I had a hand in that mess three years ago."
"By doing this, PhoenixFury's warning me and reminding those behind the scenes that she hasn't forgotten what happened three years ago!"
Zayne still didn't get it, "But why now?"
He was smart, but there were many things he didn't know, so he couldn't make the best judgment.
Logan sighed, "Isn't it because two months ago, someone killed MedicSage's successor in Dreamville?"
"PhoenixFury isn't just StormDragon's woman; she's also considered a student of MedicSage."
"Their relationship is complicated, and many things are unknown to outsiders."
"A bunch of idiots thought killing a MedicSage successor would solve their problems. Jeremy's growth will take years."
"Do they really think killing a MedicSage successor will eliminate all future threats?"
"Why don't they kill everyone still seeking revenge for StormDragon, especially PhoenixFury? For the past three years, she's been gathering evidence to overturn the case and prove StormDragon didn't betray the country."
"If PhoenixFury hadn't been busy with this, Avalonia would have been turned upside down by her, and those people would have been hunted down and killed by now."
Clyde suddenly spoke up, "Dad, ThunderLord Palace has been suppressed for years. If we don't collaborate with foreign forces to create some disturbances, ThunderLord Palace will lose its military power."
Clyde, as the heir to ThunderLord Palace, was no fool and certainly not a wastrel. His cooperation with foreign forces was indeed for the power of ThunderLord Palace.
Logan looked at Clyde and said helplessly, "Given the situation, we need to prepare early!"
"I'm planning to go to Aether to meet the Golden Monarch!"
Zayne seemed to understand Logan's intention and quickly said, "Logan, don't worry. I'll do my best to assist Clyde."
Logan said, "None of you should interfere with the matters in Sunrise. Just put all the blame on the deceased Perry!"
With one sentence, ThunderLord shifted all responsibility to the already dead Perry. But Perry wasn't wronged; his faction was indeed responsible for the matters in Sunrise.
The silence from ThunderLord Palace was actually bad news for Jeremy. He could send a red card to the Brooks family but didn't have the power to send one to ThunderLord Palace.
With the Brooks family gone, Jeremy's Sunshine Group could rise without any worries. With the tacit approval and support from the governor's office, Sunshine Group secured several projects in Sunrise and began rapid development.
It's been over two months since Jeremy arrived in Sunrise. Even the extermination of the Brooks family happened a month ago. ThunderLord Palace remained silent, and even ShadowCorp made no moves!
During this time, no one in Sunrise could stop Sunshine Group's growth. Even Arnold, who had gone to Verdantia, had returned. The Harvey family in Verdantia made a request: if any of their members were gravely ill or dying, GhostHealer must intervene.
Jeremy, of course, wouldn't refuse such a small request. With his current strength, he wasn't ready to completely fall out with a family like the Harveys.
As for Gabe, he disappeared after the last incident. From this, it was clear that the Harvey family wasn't foolish. They didn't impulsively come to Sunrise to cause trouble for Jeremy and GhostHealer.
But Jeremy knew the real reason the Harvey family chose to keep the peace wasn't their request but the annihilation of the Brooks family. A century-old family was wiped out!
The Harvey family was stronger than the Brooks family, but what would happen if they received a red card?
The red card Jeremy sent to the Brooks family indeed had a deterrent effect, making some people go silent and not act recklessly!
Over time, many forces worried about receiving a red card. As for how the higher-ups dealt with ShadowCorp's headquarters, that was unknown to the outside world.
Jeremy's ShadowCorp had completely severed ties with the old ShadowCorp. With the addition of Martial Artists from Hidden Stronghold, the new ShadowCorp was taking shape. But they still needed more people.
Thanks to Susan and Stan, the ShadowCorp members hiding in Sunrise were also recruited. They agreed to join because of the black cards appearing in Sunrise and the red card sent to the Brooks family.
To the old ShadowCorp members, the ShadowCorp from over three years ago was the real ShadowCorp. The current ShadowCorp had no authority.
Jeremy was now being pestered by Ophelia!
Ophelia had been staying with Claire, as her Power Grub matured faster in Claire's presence. Claire's strength grew quickly through her daily Sex Cultivation with Jeremy!
She was close to breaking through to the Mid Mortal Realm!
Ophelia heard Jeremy and Claire's intimate sounds daily, cursing Jeremy inwardly, but the result was Jeremy's increasing strength.
Ophelia wanted to follow Jeremy to Dawnwater Coast, insisting on going.
Jeremy wasn't going for fun; Sunshine Group had received an invitation from the Wilson family to attend a business event!
Dawnwater Coast was a major city in Avalonia, known as a financial center. Attending the event was to explore potential collaborations with big companies.
Sunshine Group's impressive performance in Starcrest attracted significant capital attention. Many companies sought to collaborate, some even offering generous terms to acquire Sunshine Group.
The companies proposing acquisitions were top-tier in Avalonia, otherwise, they wouldn't dare mention acquisitions.
Jeremy accepted the invitation from Dawnwater Coast because it came from a company under the Wilson family.
Bill finally did something that pleased Jeremy after returning to Dawnwater Coast. Jeremy wasn't just going for a business event; he had tasks to accomplish. If Ophelia followed, how could he get things done?
Claire whispered a few words to Ophelia, convincing her to stay, but she made Jeremy promise to bring her a gift.
