James told him, “200 millions.”

lan’s lips twitched, and he really wanted to curse right then.

That was a lot of money.

James then added, “I know it's just pocket change to Light Group.”

lan was speechless-the Light Group of the present actually did not havethat much money. They had already emptied their coffers for that last80 million dollar injection!

Nonetheless, he could not afford to tell James that he did not have themoney for appearance’s sake. There would be more trouble if he did,and word of that somehow reached Light Group's board members."Give me some time.”

He had an idea-there were several Light Group projects that were stillunderway, and he could divert the capital from those projects toEastdawn.

He certainly had no intention of giving up halfway on Eastdawn sincethis was his first project. Moreover, they had an agreement, and thesecond injection was basically agreed upon.

Hence, he began to make the calls to sell off their projects.Fortunately, they soon found a buyer-Remy, a foreign company, waswilling to acquire the projects, while paying them the full amount for it.To ensure that they were not trading with a shell company or gettingswindled, lan even did some research online.

It appeared that the company was registered in Franconia, and thoughit was just founded three years ago, it had already garnered significantfame. It seemed that those in the business had heard about theirmysterious CEO, who was known for his exceptional insight-anyprojects he invested in always turned out to be money-makers, with anetwork project he invested in two years ago now raking in tremendousprofits every year since. The company’s revenue was going nowherebut up, and they were starting to branch out into other industries,including showbiz, lifestyle products, networking, multimediatechnology, medicine... each of which were bringing in significantrevenue as well.

lan decided that they were reliable, and reached out to them through anintermediary, selling off two of the best projects that Light Group hadleft.

Once Remy wired the 300 million dollar payment over, lan transferredthe 200 million that James had asked for to the man immediately.

The instant that was done, lan gave him a call. “No more setbacks.”James glanced at Isaac who was sitting behind his desk, and said,“Yes, you have nothing to worry about.

This will be the last.”

He added emphasis on the last part and hung up.

Turning back to Isaac, he said, “That was lan.”

Isaac had actually heard it, but he did not appear pleased.

Instead, he remained placid and indifferent, leaning back on his chairand appearing relaxed.

Everything was going according to plan.

He knew better than everyone on whatever Light Group had left, andafter lan had sold off the two projects that could have sustained them,he had cut off any chance of his survival.

“Continue as planned. I'll have Stan Hill head to the headquarterssoon,” he said.

“Of course. It's the final phase anyway,” James replied.

And the final phase would squeeze lan dry, taking away any moveableassets he had left.

At the same time, Isaac narrowed his eyes.

Perhaps it was time to make Quincy aware of Kathy's presence.

“You can handle that,” he told James, his eyes darkening like abottomless abyss just then.

“Yes, Mr. Jefferson,” James answered and left the study, inadvertentlyrunning into someone who was coming in!
