The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Although Alexander's father had no reason to suspect the words of the Old Snake, when it concerned the safety of his son, he would naturally not consult just a single source.

But while the Gray Wolfe might be a gargantuan organization, their network in the Oriana country could be considered almost non-existent. The few people he had could barely be used as mouthpieces, but asking them to 'investigate' anything would be too tall an order.

This had been one of the reasons why he could so confidently place Alexander there without the fear of some 'traitors' who favored the twins being able to find out about his arrangements, but at this moment, it became a hurdle instead.

Fortunately, the people he was cooperating with to help Alexander covertly with 'investments' were still able to check a few things for him, and the results they gave him turned out to be well within his expectations.

On the surface, there was no evidence of any kind to prove the identity of the people who assaulted his son, but since he already knew where to look and what to look for thanks to the Old Snake's 'insight'… the unsolvable puzzle quickly unfolded itself.

Naturally, what these people found was only bits and pieces of scattered 'evidence' planted by Noelle on the orders of her little boss.

As a man who believed in striking while the iron was hot, the leader of the Gray Wolfe was not one to wait for weeks and months just to 'make absolutely sure' that what he already knew to be true. This brief 'confirmation' was, in his opinion, more than enough.

Alexander's father chuckled while swirling the wine in his glass, a gloomy smile on his face. "It seems like Mr. Black has forgotten who the number one in the world is, and it is time to give him a 'gentle' reminder."

Over the course of the next few days, Emilia had Noelle keep a close eye on the events related to both the Black Tiger and the Gray Wolfe. Even when everything seemed to go according to her expectations, she didn't dare to let go of her vigilance.

After all, there were bound to be countless hapless victims in this fight between tiger and wolf, and she didn't plan to let anyone on her side suffer a dumb loss.

The Gray Wolfe didn't have the strength to hurt the Black Tiger in the Oriana country, and the Black Tiger had no operations in Carmen country either.

But like any other major corporation, the Black Tiger also had a multitude of businesses that operated worldwide. And it was in one of these places that the Gray Wolfe started their 'attack'.

Mr. Black paid little attention to it at first. On top of ensuring that his son's recovery went well, he was also preoccupied with 'fighting' with his old rival in the Oriana country.

A few minor 'skirmishes' with the Gray Wolfe overseas didn't appear too far from the norm, so he just let his subordinates handle it.

Of course, the fact that Amos was finally willing to learn from him with a decent attitude also played a crucial role in this decision. Mr. Black thought it would be too much of a waste to not make full use of this 'sober' time to educate him well.

The silver-haired boy seemed to have undergone a massive change after venting his rage on the day of his rescue. Not only did he no longer throw tantrums in front of his father, but he even learned to bow his head and listen when needed!

In the absence of his rebellious attitude, his learning speed wasn't slow either, and his theoretical knowledge of how Black Tiger worked expanded by leaps and bounds, much to his father's disbelief and pride.

Of course, Mr. Black could tell that the stubborn hatred in the boy's heart had never faded even the tiniest bit, but he didn't think that was too much of a problem.

Even if the man who hurt him couldn't be found, which successful man didn't have an obsession in his life to keep himself motivated?

Mr. Black already considered the tragedy that befell his son a blessing in disguise. Not only did it temper his character, but it also got rid of the childish and arrogant attitude that had always caused his son to stumble in front of his opponents.

He had already thought he was too hard on his son before, but unexpectedly, the way to get him 'straightened up' was to beat him harder. Had he known so earlier, he would have beaten the boy to a pulp years ago!

As he was now, Mr. Black didn't think it would be so easy to make his son suffer a loss, and he was faintly expectant of seeing him perform in the real world.

Of course, he was still far from being able to inherit his position as the leader, but as long as he kept heading in this direction, it was only a matter of time.

Even the constant suppression from the White Deer Corporation in his home country couldn't bring his mood down, not to mention a minor matter in the remote developing nation he could barely remember.

When one of the water dams his company had been building for the Blue Dawn Republic collapsed, however, it became apparent that something wasn't quite right.

Mr. Black didn't dare to hand over the affairs of the Oriana country over to his son, since he didn't believe that he was quite ready to contend with his old rival yet, but this 'small matter' appeared at just the right time for Amos to get some practical experience.

Amos had already looked through most of the information pertaining to their projects in the Blue Dawn Republic. Although they had reaped a decent amount of profits from the country already, it wasn't quite proportionate to their investments.

To put it bluntly, they could earn much more using the same amount of resources in better markets.

Of course, these investments were made with the expectation that the Blue Dawn Republic, as a developing economy, could grow greatly in the future, giving them a thousandfold return.

The hero couldn't help but scowl darkly after looking through the situation. "What do you mean their government is 'looking into it'? Are those dogs so blind that they dare bite the hand that feeds them?!"
