Chapter 157 Ending, Eternal Night Arms

London, England.

"Fuck, that damned bastard Franz, it's all ruined, everything is ruined!"

Charlie swept the exquisite tea set on the table away fiercely. His breathing became a little rapid, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

"Hurry, tell them to bring the gold back to me as soon as possible. The others should not come back for the time being."

As if he had thought of something, Charlie quickly gave orders to the secretary who was standing beside him at a loss.

"Yes!"

Looking at the secretary's hurried footsteps, Charlie took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He quickly walked to the desk and directly dialed the number he didn't want to dial.

As the phone call was connected.

"Count Andre, have you contacted the Grand Duke of Eternal Night? His actions have seriously violated British law!"

"Charlie, I'm sorry, I can't help you this time!"

The voice coming from the microphone made Charlie's expression change instantly.

"Count Andre, are you afraid of that foreign Grand Duke? He is just a newcomer. Don't forget that you still own 20% of the company's shares. Which of your private armed forces' weapons and vehicles are not provided by the company?"

"...Haha, Charlie, you still have the nerve to say that. To what extent has the company's stock price fallen? Twenty percent? It's a hot potato now! And now I have sold all my stocks and am no longer a shareholder of the company. I hope you can understand this. You and I have nothing to do with each other...beep...beep"

Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Charlie angrily threw the phone in his hand against the wall.

"Boss, there seems to be some progress on the guy who shorted our company that you asked us to investigate earlier."

"who is it!"

Charlie asked with red eyes. Although he already knew that the situation was the work of the Duke of Eternal Night, he felt that there must be someone else who shorted his company, most likely several other arms dealers in the UK. How could those guys target him for no reason and with an outsider?
"It seems to be the Duke of Eternal Night. We learned that he founded an organization called the Eternal Night Fund. This organization has gathered many elites from related industries. When it was first established, it invested nearly 100 million pounds in funds.

We estimate that he has made nearly double the money by shorting us. Many shareholders have called us now. They seem to be unable to hold on any longer. Count Andre even sold 20% of his shares directly!"

"Fuck, damn it, why is he targeting me? No, if this continues, the company will be ruined. Doesn't the military always want to purchase our armed helicopters and related technologies? Sell them all, no, including those bases in Africa. They understand the value of them."

Charlie's brain was working fast. Although he was not the largest arms giant in the UK, he was equally famous. He recently signed an arms trade contract with Stark Industries, a rising star in the United States.

Now, this situation has caused his capital chain to break. In order to maintain the stability of the company, he has used most of his money to buy shares sold by shareholders, but it is still dwarfed by the results.

Now it seems that even his years of hard work have to be reluctantly abandoned. You know, his recent business direction is all concentrated in the African colonies. Those military bases are actually about to be completed. Although they are called military bases, there is actually a small arms processing plant inside. He plans to mass-produce the new guns purchased from Stark Industries.

Now he was forced to do nothing but pack these things up and sell them at a low price to the military who were watching with eager eyes and doing nothing.

……

In the Eternal Night Manor, Lin Jue carefully tasted the red wine sent by a prince and listened to the reports of his descendants.

"Ancestor, Charlie Company has begun to sell its own arms processing plant. There is also news from Stark Industries that they have begun to urge Charlie Company to complete the subsequent funding transactions as soon as possible." "Oh, you can't hold on anymore?"

"What did the military say?"

"They have already agreed to Charlie's intention to sell the product. According to your request, they have cut the price by nearly 20%. It can be said that it is a complete fire sale."

"Take all the stuff and notify the people in Egypt to send that guy to the military court as soon as possible. If he sells off the stocks and continues to drive down the price, we will wipe him out in one go."

"Yes!"

Looking at the rapidly departing figure of the blood descendant, Lin Jue's eyes flickered slightly, and from a perspective that ordinary people could not see, a curtain of light appeared in front of him.

It's the dimensional panel.

Seeing that Twilight City was already filled with dimensional energy, Lin Jue suppressed his excitement. Thanks to the unique rules of the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe, he defeated the Charlie Company with the worst reputation and dealt with its mercenaries, accumulating a large amount of dimensional energy at a very fast speed.

After all, to the indigenous people of Egypt, those mercenaries committed all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, looting, and so on. Lin Jue's actions could naturally be regarded as punishing evil and promoting good.

This wave is really rewarding...

Lin Jue looked at the Vampire Diaries which was about to be fully charged with some surprise.

……

A month later, along with the headlines of British newspapers, the famous Charlie & Co. was hit by the imprisonment of its largest shareholder, and its stock price plummeted. The company was controlled by the remaining shareholders and went directly into bankruptcy proceedings.

Amid the wailing of the relevant shareholders, Lin Jue, the Grand Duke, stood up and expressed his hope that a rising British arms company would not go into decline. He gladly invested money to buy a large number of stocks that were being sold, thus preventing Charlie Company from going bankrupt in times of crisis.

This allowed people who were originally unfamiliar with Lin Jue to get to know this British Asian grand duke.

All the shareholders who had been optimistic about Charlie's company and bought a large number of shares at the "bottom" praised his behavior.

Soon, Charlie Company was running again, and the entire operational management team was replaced. Every important position was held by Lin Jue's descendants. At the same time, it was officially changed to Eternal Night Arms. After the company was completely transformed, many nobles at the top of Britain invested money and signed a large number of arms contracts with Eternal Night Arms.

The share price of Eternal Night Arms soared and once exceeded its previous highest price, which stunned the shareholders who had been eager to sell their shares as soon as the stock price rose slightly.

In a certain gorgeous manor, Andre turned his eyes away from today's newspapers and looked at the man sitting in front of him with some awe.

"Your Excellency, Grand Duke Yongye, Charlie is too greedy and selfish. I have never approved of his behavior, but I have little say and cannot influence the operation of the company. His actions..."

"Eh? Count Andre is joking. I am not coming here to blame you."

"What does the Grand Duke mean?"

"Nothing, I just want you to be a witness and report some of his evil deeds. It's best to keep him in there to avoid losing his life."

"……Yes!"
