NovelEnglishChapter 358 Shein's smile gradually faded. He strongly suspected Yuriel was behind the kidnapping If it hadn't been for an unexpected intervention, he would have lost at least three billion dollars, falling far behind Yuriel in the process.
Since Yuriel had already made a move, Shein couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Otherwise, Yuriel would think he was easy to push around.
Just after Yuriel left, there was another knock on the door. The waiter went to open it once again.
A middle-aged man with a face full of menacing features walked in, holding a glass of white wine that was oddly filled to the brim.
It was Titan.
Shein knew Titan only superficially; their relationship was based more on pleasantries than genuine friendship.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Greetings, Mr. Lynch." Shein stood up to greet him.
Titan smiled. "Congratulations on your survival, Mr. Thompson. I'm here to offer a toast!" "I survived thanks to your well wishes." Shein raised his glass and clinked it against Titan's.
Titan finished his drink and icily said, "Hendrix and his gang were too bold, daring to cause trouble on my turf. If he ever falls into my hands, I'll make sure he pays dearly." Being one of the Heroes of Riverland, Titan had a commanding presence that made most people in the room fall silent.
Shein showed his gratitude. "Mr. Lynch, your concern means a lot. Would you like to sit down and have a few more drinks?" Titan shook his head. "I'm having dinner with sold friends, I'm afraid I can't.” Shein's invitation had been more of a formality, so he nodded in understanding. "Your presence here is an honor, Mr. Lynch." Zachary gently nudged Shein's foot under the table.
Knowing Zachary's usual antics, Shein smiled and added, “Mr. Lynch, about Luke's territories-" Before he could finish, Titan interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Thompson, you're a businessman. Just focus on your business. We rough types need to make a living too. Riverland's a big market, after all. Gotta leave sfor the rest of us, right?"/ The implication was clear-Titan intended to take over Luke's territories. He wasn't worried about Shein resisting.
Jalen and Yuriel were closely aligned, while Titan didn't see eye to eye with Yuriel.
For Shein to go against Yuriel, he needed to strengthen his ties with Titan.
As expected, Shein smiled and said, "You're right, Mr. Lynch. We'll need your protection in the future." Owning several entertainment venues often attracted troublemakers. With Titan's support, those troublemakers would think twice before causing issues at Shein's places.
"Enjoy your meal, Mr. Thompson. I'll take my leave now," Titan said, leaving the room with a slight smile.
It wasn't until the door to the private room closed that Zachary clenched his fist and slammed it hard. against the table.
The empire they'd painstakingly built over the past three years was gone just like that. The losses were around a hundred million.
His heart ached terribly.
Shein's face was stern as he said, "Focus on legitimate business with me, and stay away from those shady ventures!" Zachary sighed deeply and took a swig of his drink.
Josie suddenly asked, "Shein, do you know who helped you from behind the scenes?" At her words, everyone's eyes turned to Shein.

Shania pouted in response and continued eating her meal.
Shein pondered for a moment, narrowing his eyes "It's highly m probable that someone from Yorksle was involved." Josie gently nodded, elegantly sipping her winé.
Meanwhile, Titan returned to his private room, where he had om assembled his top men to strategize the complete takeover of Luke's territory.
"Mr. Lynch, why don't we take over Prince Heath's territory as well?"
"Yeah, Prince Heath is out of the picture. His assets are substantial. If we take them eveh Jalen would have to show you respect!"
