Chapter 966:
In his more than twenty years of life, he had witnessed plenty of similar situations and power plays.
About five long minutes passed before someone finally worked up the nerve to break the tense silence.
“Mr. Elliott, wait just a minute. What would happen to all the shipping routes and our global mineral mining operations if you left p>
Myron’s smile remained perfectly pleasant and controlled.
“Those are my personal assets and have nothing to do with the Elliott Group,” he said simply. “Naturally, I would take them with me when I leave p>
The entire boardroom immediately erupted into chaos.
“That’s absolutely impossible, Mr. Elliott! Elliott Group’s ability to maintain its position in Crobert depends entirely on those shipping lines and global supply sources. Without them, our operational costs would become completely unsustainable p>
“Mr. Elliott, you’re an Elliott family member! You can’t abandon your responsibilities like this p>
“That’s right, Mr. Elliott! If those assets are separated from the company, we’ll lose our position as one of Crobert’s top three corporations almost immediately p>
Everyone began talking at once, their voices overlapping in desperate protest. Through it all, Myron remained completely composed and unruffled. He listened patiently to their arguments, and then allowed his smile to fade away completely. His expression became serious and businesslike.
“So you do understand exactly how valuable these resources are,” he said.
The three most powerful companies in Crobert had all started in traditional industries. Later, the Watson Group, under Brandon’s leadership, successfully transformed itself into a technology powerhouse. The Evans family had dealt with serious internal conflicts, but while managing their disputes, they had also…
expanded into new business areas—for example, the entertainment division that Charles now controlled. Elliott Group had built its reputation and maintained its position through globalized industries and the luxury goods market.

While Watson Group was generally considered the leader among the three major companies, the three families actually kept each other in careful balance. Watson Group didn’t have such overwhelming advantages that they could completely dominate the others.
Years ago, the reason James had almost become a fourth major power was due to the fact that finance was naturally a wealth multiplier and amplifier. If James had formed deep partnerships with any of these three business giants, it could have immediately destroyed the delicate three-way balance of power that currently existed.
It was unfortunate that James had died under such mysterious circumstances. Maritime business was inherently extremely dangerous—people could easily disappear overboard in remote waters, leaving no trace behind.
The competition for global gemstone mines was even more violent and ruthless.
Most people preferred to avoid getting involved in these messy and dangerous situations, choosing to protect their lives instead. After all, money was useless to the dead.
When the Elliott family had been struggling years ago, almost on the verge of losing their position among the top three companies, it had been Myron who single-handedly built up these operations and salvaged everything. He had pulled the Elliott Group back from the brink of collapse through sheer determination and a willingness to take risks that others wouldn’t dare attempt.
