"This..." Sally Dalton looked at Nathan Leafcastle standing by the door, "Since Nathan is the CEO, of course, he has the final say."

"Alright!" Kris Cooper lazily walked to the door and stopped in front of Nathan Leafcastle, "I want sixty percent!"

"You’re too greedy!" Nathan Leafcastle said.

Kris Cooper grinned roguishly, "Seventy percent."

Nathan Leafcastle’s eyebrows twitched with anger, "You..."

"Nathan!" Sally Dalton held his arm, "Sixty percent, we agree."

Kris Cooper slightly raised the corners of his lips, then extended his hand to her, "Miss Dalton, looking forward to our cooperation!"

"Looking forward to cooperating with you!" Sally Dalton smiled and shook his hand.

"Great!" Kris Cooper withdrew his arm, "Since that’s the case, you two go back and revise the terms of cooperation. Tomorrow morning, we’ll discuss the details. I have something to attend to, so I won’t see you off. Take care! Tommy, see them out."

With a slight nod to them, he strode out of the reception room.

Tommy Taylor saw them into the elevator before returning to Kris Cooper’s office, only to find Kris Cooper making phone arrangements as soon as he entered the room.

"Keep an eye on Nathan Leafcastle and Sally Dalton. I want to know everything they do once they leave Ashton."

"Mr. Cooper!" Tommy Taylor’s face was full of worry, "Do you really intend to cooperate with Barker?"

"Why not?" Kris Cooper shrugged, "Sally Dalton made a very valid point. Even if they didn’t come to me, I would have found a partner. Barker has done many similar projects in Europe and has a lot of experience. Collaborating with them, we’re sure to secure this project."

"But..." Tommy Taylor frowned, "You know, what I’m worried about is Nathan Leafcastle. He’s definitely got a scheme."

"Of course, that’s precisely why I chose to work with him," Kris Cooper tapped lightly on the desk with his fingers, "He must think, ’Kris Cooper is just a flamboyant and reckless young master.’ Let’s hope he doesn’t regret today’s decision."

As he said this, he smiled brilliantly.

Tommy knew, however, that beneath such a smile, there lay absolute danger.

Initially, even Tommy had reservations about Kris Cooper.

During the time they had interacted, he had genuinely felt that this seemingly reckless and uninhibited young man had a mind and intellect far superior to ordinary people, and opposing him was definitely not a wise move.

"So... is there anything else you need to do?"

"Personally visit Michael Freenan and check on the progress of the Irene Spencer case." Kris Cooper lifted his wrist to check his watch, "We don’t have much time left!"

Time was flying by; two weeks were almost up. If they didn’t find the evidence soon, that woman would indeed regain her freedom.

Tommy nodded and left the office.

Kris Cooper clasped his hands together, lightly resting his chin on them and pondered seriously for a while. Then he picked up his phone and dialed Kenton Maverick’s number.

"Help me prepare some money. I might need it soon."

On the other end, Kenton Maverick said only two words.

"How much."

"Five hundred million."

"When?"

"In about a week. If I don’t contact you within a week, then I won’t need it."

"Is that enough?"

"I’ll also look for Andre and the others, to save you the trouble of moving funds around."

For Kenton Maverick and the others, money wasn’t an issue, but billions in cash flow was still a significant amount, and they would need time to adjust.

"Alright." Kenton Maverick agreed succinctly, and his voice took on a tone of concern, "Is there anything else I can help with?"
