King’s Awakening - Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Cooper’s Cocktail Party!
Sayon, Imperial Group.

“What!? Cooper refuses to meet us? Mr. Anderson, this isn’t what you told me yesterday, what’s going on?” Upon hearing that Cooper refused to meet, the complexion of Alan Austin darkened instantly.

Messiah Anderson, standing before him with a bitter face, defended himself: “I don’t know either. Previously, whenever he came to Sayon, I would always go and meet him; nothing like this has ever happened.

But this time, he sprung this surprise on me. My daughter told me that Cooper came to Sayon this time apparently to meet a benefactor, and he hasn’t had the time to deal with us.”

A benefactor?

Alan’s Austin eyebrows furrowed, his eyes darting quickly.

If I could help Cooper find his benefactor, wouldn’t that mean…

With this thought, Alan Austin began to eagerly make enquiries. Unfortunately, on the matter of Cooper’s benefactor, Messiah Anderson had no idea.

Hearing this, Alan Austin gave him an annoyed look and had no choice but to give up this idea.

“If Cooper refuses to meet us, does it mean he’s meeting others instead? Is it possible that he’s already teamed up with other bidders, which is why he’s avoiding us?” Austin voiced out his concerns.

Upon hearing this, Anderson immediately shook his head: “I believe not. Given my daughter’s relationship with Cooper’s daughter, we would certainly know if he’s collaborating with others.”

Hearing Messiah Anderson’s assurances, Alan Austin’s expression lightened slightly, before continuing: “Keep a close watch on this.

Especially on Sherry, behind her is mysterious capital with hundreds of billions in funds, and they are our biggest rivals.

No matter what, she must not be allowed to form a relationship with Cooper; otherwise, both you and I will have to pay a price.”

…

At the same time that Alan Austin was worried about Sherry forming an alliance with Cooper, Sherry was also informed about Cooper’s appearance in Sayon and was considering how to pay him a visit.

After all, Cooper controls more than 60% of the construction materials business in Dragon Realm, and a large project like Nezzi New City would definitely require a significant amount of material.

Her team, however, lacked resources in the construction materials sector and couldn’t meet the large demand of Nezzi New City.

Therefore, the only thing to do now was to find a major construction material supplier, and Cooper was undoubtedly the best candidate.

However, figuring out how to approach Cooper became Sherry’s biggest headache.

“What’s the matter? Do you have some troubles? Should I ask Robust to help you?” At dinner, White Mitchell noticed Sherry’s absentmindedness and couldn’t help but ask.

After the capital verification meeting, Sherry remembered that Mr. Beckett was White’s university mate.

But White casually explained it away, and with Mori Jones adding fuel to the fire, Sherry was not suspicious at all.

Now, all she knew was that Mr. Beckett worked for a friend of Mori, helping out that mysterious friend, she was oblivious to everything else.

This was one of White’s ways of protecting Sherry.

At this point, hearing White’s voice, Sherry came back to her senses, shook her head quietly: “Forget it, it was agreed that we would handle the tendering process, while Mr. Beckett’s side would take care of the funding.

If I ask for his help now, it would seem like we are incapable of doing anything.

Actually, it’s not a big deal, we just lack a reliable supplier of building materials. For now, I’m just scouting for one.”

A supplier of building materials?

White’s Mitchell, on hearing this, paused and then replied playfully: “I heard Dragon Steel Building Materials is quite large, why not try cooperating with them?”

Upon hearing that, Sherry Jones heaved a helpless sigh: “I wish I could, and their chairman, Cooper, is in Sayon. But getting a chance to meet him is more difficult than reaching the heavens.”

White Mitchell said nothing, simply placed some food into her bowl: “No matter how capable he is, he’s just one person. How could meeting him be more difficult than reaching the heavens?”

Hearing this, Sherry couldn’t help but smile bitterly in her heart. How could White know how hard it was to meet even once with a man like Cooper? Many tycoons in Sayon wished to meet him but never had the chance.

Even powerful figures like David Herb, who wielded great influence in Sayon, would find it hard to get a chance to meet Cooper, let alone someone as insignificant as herself.

However, Sherry was aware that White was saying these words to comfort her. So, to avoid making him worry, she put on a fake smile and didn’t refute him.

But, unbeknownst to her, while she was washing the dishes, White had slipped away to the balcony to call Kylin.

“Tell Cooper, I agree to meet him. Have him prepare, but don’t make it too obvious…” White told Kylin his plans and instructed Cooper to act accordingly.

In addition, David Herb had told him that Alan Austin planned to use the Zhang Group’s monopoly on building materials in Sayon to crush his competitors.

Therefore, White could use this opportunity to destroy Alan Austin’s hopes through Cooper.

After making these arrangements, White had barely put down his phone when he heard Sherry’s voice from behind: “Brother, who were you calling?”

Caught off guard, White attempted to keep his composure, then walked up to Sherry and scooped her into his arms: “We’re already married, and you’re still calling me brother?”

Sherry blushed, her teeth clamped together. She knew White was about to be up to no good, which made her face turn even redder.

Afterward, White carried Sherry directly into the bedroom and closed the door.

In Sayon, at the Emperor’s Residence.

Cooper, who had been preparing to rest in bed, sprung up from his mattress like a shot and rolled off the bed upon receiving a call.

Yet, instead of complaining, he was visibly excited: “Really? Mr. Azure Dragon, you’re not lying to me, right? Lord Military Master finally agreed to see me?

Alright, alright, I’ll do just as instructed. I promise, I will follow his instructions. If the Lord Military Master tells me to go east, I, Cooper, definitely will not go west.”

At the same time, Sana Robert, who heard the noise, rushed into Cooper’s room: “Grandpa, what happened? Did you fall, are you alright? Grandpa, Grandpa, Gra..”

When the door opened, she saw Cooper’s face flush from the fall, but a baffling sense of elation was unmistakably clear. His happiness seemed even greater than if he had won the lottery.

In that moment…

Sana was taken aback. Given that her grandfather had clearly taken a tumble, how could he look so delighted? Could it be that he had knocked his head, causing delirium?

Sana, with a look of concern on her face, subconsciously reached out to touch Cooper’s head, but he pushed her away with a snap.

Then, Cooper said impatiently, “Get lost, you ugly girl. I am fine, just excited.

Hurry up, you should make arrangements right away. Tomorrow night at eight, I want to hold a cocktail party at the Emperor’s Residence, inviting all the bidders involved in the Nezzi New City project.

Stop standing there all dumb and stupid. Get to work immediately. The preparation for this cocktail party should follow the highest standards set by our Robert family. Hurry up and stop dawdling, otherwise, your grandpa won’t forgive you!”

The… highest standards?

With such a grand scale, could it be that a high-ranking general or some member of the top ten richest families in the Capital City is attending?

Has grandpa gone mad?
