218 episodes. Knock-knock, my saliva is running out of my mouth.
The visit of the Vice President of the Royal Crown.
I greeted Russell Trevor with an interesting face.
‘He is the leader of the opposition that kept Henry in check…’
The Royal Crown’s intelligence would have understood that I had become the owner of the bearer stake.
So, the fact that he came to me in the present situation has a lot of meaning.
First, negatively, we can anticipate the purpose of warning us about a hostile takeover.
For them, 38% of the major shareholder suddenly fell from the sky.
On a positive note, this is a case where he decided to stop losing because of Jayden’s repeated useless steps.
He was an opponent of Henry, but I was told that it stemmed from his loyalty to Gary Parker and his love for the Royal Crown.
So you can cooperate with me for the survival of the group.
For them, I’m Jayden Parker’s only opponent.
“As you may have guessed, I found this because of the Royal Crown’s equity problem.”
Russell Taylor started the conversation without hiding what he knew.
Just by looking at this, I could tell how inconsistent he was with Henry.
“The information is fast. You already know that.”
“It is the biggest variable in the equity structure.”
After taking a sip of coffee, he continued.
“Are you going to just keep it with you?”
“Haha, Mr. Taylor’s only fastball. What do you want me to do?”
“Before that, let me ask you one thing. Does the stake belong to Mr. Jean, or is Henry Bearfax the owner?”
“Of course it’s mine.”
“Then, if Mr. Jean takes over the management of the Royal Crown, can you assert that Henry Bearfax will not intervene?”
“I can’t tell you in detail. Henry has experience in managing the Royal Crown in the past, and I’ve heard that his performance was excellent.”
Facial muscles become stiff.
It wasn’t the answer you wanted.
“Now, since I’ve given you my answer, shall we listen to your answer?”
“I’m here to get to know you. If you’re qualified to be Mr. Jean, I’m here to help you take over.”
“Doesn’t that deserve Henry not to intervene?”
Russell nodded slowly.
“Yeah, I didn’t want you to be Henry’s agent, so I asked who the owner of the stake was.”
“I said I’m the owner, and Henry is just giving advice.”
“No. He has a knack for enchanting people with just a few words. Without realizing it, he moves like a marionette in the palm of his hand.”
“You’re making too much of an assumption.”
“I experienced it many times while eating one pot rice. Even the former president eventually entrusted the group’s internal management to him. What about now? He has acquired the P&B group and is aiming for the Royal Crown through you.”
“You are misunderstanding. It was purely my intention to be interested in the bearer stake in the Royal Crown.”
It’s a look I don’t believe in.
It’s annoying, but I need to explain a bit.
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, but it was with the Melbourne Cup that I came here to collect chips. At that time, there were some troubles between me and Jayden Parker.”
“You’re talking about a donation event. I’ve heard of it.”
“I’ve been collecting them since then. If you become a major shareholder of the Royal Crown, I don’t think Jaden Parker would do such an impure thing in front of me. Do you think that meeting at that time was the Duke of Henry?”
Russell thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“No, because it was a sudden move that Jayden went to the Melbourne Cup donation event at the time.”
“Yeah, it was pure coincidence. And Mr. Taylor doesn’t know me well, but he’s not like former Gary Parker. No matter how good Henry’s advice is, he doesn’t listen to me if he thinks it’s not me.”
This is my go-to word.
And the only way to gain him while denying it is to gain strength.
In relation to the Royal Crown, it was not Henry’s help, but the power I got myself.
‘With the help of interest, you can get the Royal Crown even if it’s not Henry.’
If anything happens with Henry, it will be of great help.
I hope it doesn’t, but it was a minimal preparation.
“Okay. The mere fact that the beginning wasn’t Henry Bearfax’s intentions gives me confidence in Mr. Jean.”
Russell said he and his faction had a 10.5% stake.
In other words, if I add up my 38% stake and Stanley’s 3% stake, I was able to exceed the majority at 51.5%.
“But why are you trying to empower me?”
“The negligent management of the current CEO, Jaden Parker, has gone too far. So we want to fire him.”
“Isn’t that the only one?”
Everyone moves for their own benefit.
Even if it’s for a cause.
“If Mr. Jin takes over the management, please entrust me with that assistant.”
“Isn’t this Jaden Parker’s throne?
“He is a single-minded general who does not accept my opinions at all. He has been working silently with grace toward the former president, but I can’t watch it any longer.”
That’s why you checked Henry.
He thinks of me as a barge boss and wants to take Henry’s position.
“Well, the meaning is good. But the interpretation is different from person to person, isn’t it?”
“……?”
“To my ears, you put me as a puppet, Mr. Taylor, it sounds like you’re running a group.”
Russell waved his hand in denial.
“Absolutely not. I just want to assist Mr. Jin so that he can focus on his main business, the mining industry. Do you not know much about casino management yet?”
“If you don’t know, you can ask.”
“So I’m going to play that role…”
“No, I’m going to ask, wouldn’t it be better to be a leader in the industry?”
“Yes?”
It looks like you didn’t know me in detail.
He came here to turn his back on Jaden, but he seemed a bit out of touch with his tricks.
“I have a pretty close relationship with President Stanley of Macau.”
“Oh, yes. He must have given you a chip…”
“So, if you take on the role of representative, it means that you will not be neglected or entrusted with full power to someone else just because you don’t know it well.”
“But Macau and Australia have slightly different markets even in the same industry. If you don’t know the physiology of casinos…”
“Who knows the physiology of a casino better than a gambler?”
“yes?”
“You don’t know I’m a gambler, do you?”
“Ah… is that so? This is just the beginning.”
Another expression of disbelief.
I don’t know if it’s because people are really suspicious or if it’s because of arguing with Henry.
“Did you know that there was a VVIP invitation contest for Asia and Oceania in Macau last year?”
“I know. There was an unofficial competition hosted by SWM Group.”
“Do you know who the winner of that competition is?”
“Well. It’s not an official competition and it was held in another country, so I couldn’t even keep track of the competition. As I recall, I heard that David Wolf was present in Australia, but isn’t it him?”
“No, I fold.”
“yes!?”
Russell’s expression revealed a surprise he had never seen before.
“Then you mean Mr. Jean beat David?
“I met him in the finals, and I won.”
“……”
“Now do you know? I know a lot more about casinos than Mr. Taylor’s thought, and I have the ability to attract VVIPs who participated in the tournament at the time, as well as to get the cooperation of SWM Group in Macau. Other connections through the mining industry The same goes for the wealthy people around the world with whom they have joined.”
I continued speaking, drawing a firm line.
“If Mr. Taylor holds my hand, I will be able to hold on to my current position. But the roles and responsibilities do not go beyond that. If it is good, I will give up my seat so that you can stand by my side.”
Russell’s neck trembled at my words.
Even if you don’t listen to the answer, I know.

-Edward, is it okay for a moment?
Shortly after Russell Taylor passed away, I got a call from Helen.
It was Henry’s call.
“Did you call?”
He had a solo meeting with Henry in the penthouse.
He sat across from me and opened his mouth.
“I heard Russell came and went.”
“yes.”
“Is it because of the stake?”
“yes.”
“What did you say?”
“He asked what he was going to do with it.”
“That’s your friend. So what did you say?”
Something doesn’t flow naturally in the conversation.
It has been like this since then, when Henry didn’t answer my questions.
Fortunately, it’s only at the beginning, so it gets better as the conversation continues.
“They said they hadn’t thought about it yet. And when I asked how he got it, I showed him his signature. They said they met by chance.”
“Good job, Russell is a blind follower of Gary, so he must have had a crush on Jaden.”
“Yeah, it was like that.”
I’m afraid of getting caught.
He’s such a quick-witted dude.
“If that friend raises our hand, we can fill the remaining 8%, so I hope it goes well.”
“Hey, he said he was the leader of the faction that kept Henry in check? Is it okay to join him?”
“I don’t have any ill feelings, it’s all about loyalty to Gary, I understand.”
He really seems to think so.
“He didn’t want Henry to return to the Royal Crown…”
“Heh heh, are you still like that? Actually, I hated that friend quite a bit because of what happened in the past.”
Henry told the story of how he had won a casino license in Western Australia in the past.
Perth royal crown casino resort.
At the time, he was working behind the scenes to complete the project, and he said it was nearing completion.
The problem, however, was that Gary Parker opposed the project.
On the surface, it was through a hostile M&A, but on the inside, it was because Henry did not like the duke who made it that way.
However, Henry secretly pushed forward and said that the government moved in the middle to mediate the acquisition of existing casinos.
“The government stepped in, so Gary had no choice but to accept it.”
If you set a goal, you have to do it.
Come to think of it, there’s never been a time when Henry didn’t go the way he wanted.
“Russell has been suspicious of me since then. Besides, my influence in the group has become as strong as Gary’s because of the people who were merged.”
I nodded my head and asked what I had been curious about.
“Yeah, and he said that. It must have been Henry’s Duke that Jayden handed over all the debt to the P&B group. Is that true?”
It’s from Robert Bardock, not Russell, but I was curious about the authenticity, so I wanted to take this opportunity to ask.
“I don’t know what the peacock’s range is, but I threw it as a bait that Jaden and Russell would be delighted with.”
“……!”
I hope, I hope, it was true.
“Jaden liked the simple and clear casino rather than the troublesome management of the press, and Russell decided that the Royal Crown had an advantage over P&B in defending his management right. They must have chosen that.”
“Then, were you prepared to normalize P&B in advance?”
“I was prepared to some extent.”
It was really all set up.
Once again, I think Henry’s resourcefulness is really great.
I moistened the tip of my lips with my tongue and asked for the most important part.
“Anyway, looking at the situation, I think Mr. Trevor will support us. Then the proposal for dismissal would have been passed, but who sits in the chair of the Royal Crown?”
Knock-knock, my saliva is running out of my mouth.
