Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Dog Eat Dog Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Dog Eat Dog The very next second, just as Greg Jensen was about to take his leave, Wren Webb stammered out a seemingly irrelevant sentence, appearing embarrassed and looking much like a child who had done something wrong.
Greg Jensen couldn't help but say, “Mr. Webb, there's no need for subtlety between us! Say whatever you have to say outright!”
“I… I only realized last night that the stock share agreement you signed with me has… has disappeared again!”
Wren Webb sighed heavily, showing great helplessness, “I've checked everywhere I could, but no matter what, I can't find it! I suspect that someone has stolen the agreement again!”
Honestly, he had never dreamed that the just-acquired stock share agreement would vanish into thin air once more.
He had securely placed the item in a safe which nobody could open without the password, a password that nobody besides him knew.
Even if there was a thief in the house, it was impossible to steal anything under his watch.
Therefore, he was completely befuddled by this incident.
“Oh?”
Greg Jensen's eyebrows raised, he hadn't expected this turn of events.
But the one thing he could be sure of was that the thief was the same person on both occasions.
Clearly, their motive was not simply to make money, but more so to seize a portion of the shares through this opportunity.
“Mr. Ouyang, I…” Wren Webb said with a pained expression, displaying immense guilt.
Greg Jensen waved his hand dismissively, “No matter, this is not your fault. Since they had this intention, stealing the agreement was just a matter of time. If I'm not mistaken, the stock share agreement will surface soon!”
Because without surfacing, the agreement would lose its effect. They couldn't just brazenly occupy Snow Wave Mountain with the agreement in hand; they would likely resort to something akin to an auction to launder it.
After some time spent understanding the situation, he realized that Australia's laws were not particularly strict in this regard.
Especially concerning land rights documentation, they recognize the certificate, not the person who holds it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have provided the opportunity for theft.
So he patted Brandon Grant on the shoulder and consoled him, “Don't worry, the agreement is useless to them as it is. We can take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop, heh, when the time comes, I'll leave it to you to deal with them! For now, just wait and see.”
In the following days, to ensure that the incident with the documents did not affect the exploitation of Snow Wave Mountain and the Webb Family's interests, Greg Jensen was forced to stay in the castle.
He was busy monitoring the international situation:
First, there was an attack by ferocious beasts from three major directions in China, but with the government's correct guidance, the whole country united, assembling a vast number of powerful individuals to counter these ferocious beasts. Except for the coastal regions suffering heavy casualties, they hardly let the beasts penetrate the inland.
Moreover, from the beginning, the public was calling for obedience to the leadership, not to cause trouble for the officials, even establishing several large-scale shelters, staying organized within them, and achieving a situation with virtually zero deaths.
But it was a different story for other countries, like Cherrywood. With its small land area, once attacked, people had a hard time evacuating, resulting in the deaths of many powerful individuals and civilians. The homes collapsed upon touch, leaving devastation in their wake.
Then there were Avalon, Krautopia, Brungaria, and other regions, all caught off-guard by the attacks. Fortunately, the military was not inept and managed to temporarily hold off the ferocious beasts' assaults.
They were severely lacking in supplies and weapons and were now buying in bulk from abroad. Unfortunately, the entire international situation was tense, and when every nation was struggling to survive, who had extra to sell to them?
Only China could barely manage this, with its exports of supplies earning a round of applause on the international stage.
The worst-hit was the Liberty Alliance. As the name implies, the people there all clamored for freedom, refusing to follow management or quarantine orders, and were unwilling to hide at home during a crisis.
Moreover, their military, selfish and profit-driven, engaged in guerrilla warfare across the continents, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people, leading to over ten million deaths in just a few days.
More and more people were dodging attacks from ferocious beasts while taking to the streets to protest, and some went even further, throwing a lot of trash at the Excellent Building to express their dissatisfaction.
It could be said that the entire international situation was in chaos, but Greg Jensen took some consolation in the fact that the Eight countries in Southeast had not yet suffered too much damage.
Upon returning, Fox immediately joined forces with Shark and Black Wolf and others to defend the border and intercept the entry of ferocious beasts.
Despite significant sacrifices at the border, as long as the threat didn't spread inward, it was all worth it.
Of course, more and more people were turning their attention to Shadow Province. The point of outbreak had spread from there, and all of the crises had started from that place.
This inevitably led people to wonder if something was being researched within Shadow Province that had triggered the uprising of the ferocious beasts!
As a result, the internet was full of abusive comments–
“Damn Shadow Province! It's bad enough that you harm yourselves, but why involve all other countries!?”
“What the hell did you do, my God, punish those evil black devils, not us!”
“I mean, what's a bunch of poor tribes got to research? Could it be the research of the Liberty Alliance over there?”
“Julius squid! Our Liberty Alliance is so noble, even if we seriously conducted research, we wouldn't do it in their backyard!”
“Laughing to death, we in China are safe, we suppressed these ferocious beasts right from the start!”
“OMG, I envy China, is it still possible to immigrate now?”
Comments like this were everywhere.
In addition, Greg Jensen also saw that officials from various countries were sending people to Shadow Province to investigate and provide support, as nowhere else was as severe as their situation.
Moreover, to cut the grass, one must remove the roots; without solving the root cause of the problem, mere defense was utterly pointless.
Even Greg Jensen believed that some research team in Shadow Province must have angered the ferocious beasts, or produced something capable of controlling their spread and rampage.
Otherwise, the Rebirth of Spiritual Energy had been around for more than a year, and ferocious beasts normally wouldn't leave their territory to fight with humans, so why would they go crazy like this?
And on this morning.
Greg Jensen had just fed Lincoln Simmons a Spirit Stone when urgent knocking came from outside the door.
Thump, thump, thump!
“Mr. Ouyang! There's, there's news, my lost agreement finally has some news!”
The voice belonged to Wren Webb.
Greg Jensen hurriedly let him in, “What's the situation? Give me the details!”
“Er… I just received a message from my subordinates that my agreement will be auctioned this afternoon! Once those families and tycoons heard about it, they are all on their way here now! And I heard they are fighting like cats and dogs!”
“Heh, now that it has appeared, there's no need to rush, let them fight like dogs, and we'll just sit back and watch the show!”
