Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 266

However, Magnus was unfazed. He sneered. "The Supreme One is dead. As the Deputy Chief and soon-to-be Chief, I am fully qualified to have this invitation."

Nathaniel thought for a moment and then nodded. "That's true. The auction starts in three days, so we need to leave by tomorrow at the latest. However, we need to prepare more funds and valuable items beforehand."

"How much liquid capital does the corporation have right now?" Magnus asked.

Nathaniel said with a frown, "I just had it checked. The entire corporation has less than 50 billion dollars available."

"Only that much?" Magnus' brow furrowed deeply, his expression clearly displeased.

50 billion dollars might seem like a lot, but for a corporation like Phoenix Corporation, valued in the trillions, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

Nathaniel explained, "Whenever Phoenix Corporation has excess funds, the Supreme One would take them. We're only left with that amount as we've recently invested in a massive factory."

Magnus coldly replied, "We can do nothing with that amount. Immediately liquidate some assets. Make sure we have at least 500 billion dollars before we leave tomorrow."

Nathaniel, looking troubled, informed him, "We only control some of the corporation's branches. The headquarters is still in the hands of those old geezers. Even the branches we control are nominally under the Supreme One. It might be difficult to sell them."

Nathaniel thought for a second. "I have an idea, but it requires your intervention."

"Tell me what's the plan," Magnus demanded.

Nathaniel smiled. "With the Supreme One dead, it's only a matter of time before Supreme Nexus falls under your control. You can summon all the Gods of War and the wealthiest families under your name. This way, you can find out who is loyal to you and who is against you. You will be killing two birds with one stone."

"Good. Let's do that," Magnus agreed. He then turned to Lillian and informed her, "Pretty lady, I have some business to attend to now. Stay here and clean yourself up. Tonight, I'll come back to enjoy you properly."
