■'Stefan!" Renee roared as she barged into the headquarters of H Group angrily. Immediately, everyone turned to

her, but nobody dared to do anything because she was their president's ex-wife.

At last, Elijah, Stefan's assistant, blocked her and said politely, "Mrs. Hunt, Mr. Hunt is having a meeting. Please go

and wait in the reception room."

"I'm not Mrs. Hunt! Don't talk nonsense!" Renee snapped and rolled up her sleeves menacingly. "I'll count to three,

and if Stefan doesn't come out by then, I'm going to destroy this building. One, two..."

"Umm..." Everyone looked at each other in panic, not sure of what to do.

"It's okay, Mrs. Hunt, I'll inform Mr. Hunt that you're here," Elijah said quickly. He was aware of how violent Renee

was, so he decided to take the risk and inform Stefan that she was here. Although Stefan was hard to deal with, he

was much gentler than Renee, so Elijah would rather face his wrath instead.

Stefan was currently under pressure because Carmine Pawnshop's treasure ship had been attacked. It was not his

doing, but now everyone claimed that it was him. The media was condemning him, and even the shareholders of H

Group unknowingly criticised his impulsiveness and ignorance of the company's image.

"Mr. Hunt, there's an emergency." Elijah opened the door of the conference room under the fierce glare of many

superiors. He then gestured for them to stop before he bowed and walked over to Stefan. "Miss Everheart is waiting

for you outside. She seems very angry, and even claimed that she'll destroy H Group if you don't meet her

immediately."

Stefan was not surprised at all, and smirked in interest. "Let her do it then."

"Mr. Hunt, I'm not kidding. She's perfectly capable of destroying this place," Elijah protested, his face going pale.

"There are sixty-six floors here, so kindly remind her to destroy all of them. If she gets tired, get some drinks and

dessert for her. Don't let her tire herself out," Stefan said pleasantly.

Elijah and the shareholders were speechless.

Elijah took a deep breath. He knew that he could not make Stefan go and meet Renee now, so he just nodded and

said weakly, "Okay, I'll tell her.

Just don't forget that it was you who signed up for this."

After Elijah walked out of the conference room, Stefan looked around calmly. "Now... where were we? Do you want

to collect evidence and ask the police officers to arrest the Night Demon in exchange for the public's good

impression of us? Is that how you want to improve H Group's image?"

"Yes, Mr. Hunt. That's the best solution we came up with after endless discussions."

"Yeah, Carmine Pawnshop was established by relying on shady businesses. Even though they've been doing things

legally these past two years, I'm sure we'll find something if we do a little digging. That's the only way to deal with

unscrupulous organisations like this."

"Now the public thinks that you ruined the Night Demon's face, and that he's the victim here. They've labelled you

as a demon and forgot about how horrible that man really is. So, we need to focus on that and turn the public

opinion."

The shareholders had brainstormed with the PR department to come up with this solution. They were determined

to ruin Carmine Pawnshop and arrest the Night Demon.

Stefan rested his chin on his hands, and thought about it for a while.

Finally, he said, "Let's take things slow for now."

"What?! Do you think we haven't suffered enough?"
