Chapter 118 Deal Collapsed

• The middle-aged man calmly said, "Mr. Cooper, normally this isn't something we would get involved in. You're free to acquire whatever company you wish. But Raven Group is unique—it has significant government backing and is closely tied to the Veridian project. What our office means is that if Mr. Blair intends to transfer ownership, the official department would step in and take over directly."
• Liam was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected the government to swoop in and compete with him for the deal.
• Thomas, hearing this, let out a sigh of relief. Everything was unfolding just as he had anticipated—the government was indeed stepping in because of Laurel. As long as Laurel was involved, no one could touch Raven Group.
