Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 797

"Why the empty hands? The Inko Group could easily toss them some secondary tech," Ludwik smirked coldly. "Then, Parker, have one of your uncle's other companies sign with me. Let's get the real cutting-edge technology into my hands. The Lippert family will start production immediately, launching it on the market before anyone else. That way, Inko Group doesn't breach any contracts, and the Lippert family can catch the Patrick Group completely off guard!"

Parker finally got it, Ludwik's master plan.

It hit him like a ton of bricks, and he had to admit, business was not his forte.

Guys like Ludwik, with their ruthless business tactics, could destroy someone in minutes without leaving a trace.

He slammed his hand on the table, "Ludwik, hats off to you!

This double-dealing contract will leave the Patrick family with no top-tier tech and no grounds to sue Inko Group for fraud... I'll get my uncle to reach out to Jarvis and Bryce right away. They'll probably jump at the chance."

"Let them enjoy their moment," Ludwik said with a calm composure, a testament to his years of experience in the business world, where he had seen all sorts of underhanded tactics. He knew the value of lying low.

Parker, rubbing his chin, grinned mischievously, full of motivation.

But then, frowning, he turned to Ludwik, "I caught up on your recent troubles on my way back."

With a flicker of guilt, Parker continued, "Ludwik, it must have been rough for you these past few weeks.

I heard Bryce rose to power following Wade, turning the Lutz Group into Emperor City's leading enterprise. That scumbag Bryce has been suppressing you left and right, even had someone attack you in jail... there."

Ludwik's cold gaze darkened, his grip tightening around the rim of his cup.

"It was Ashton Fuller who told me. I contacted him right after guessing he'd come to Emperor City to help you out after your incident. He mentioned you were planning to hit back at Bryce for attacking Whitney, but Ludwik, I'd advise against it... especially now that you have this plan."

Ludwik's fist clenched. Indeed... he had not known Parker would be part of the meeting with the chairman of Inko Group.

Now that Parker was back, and Inko Group being his uncle's company, he had this opportunity.

If he were to release the information Felix had prepared now, it would expose Bryce's hypocritical reputation.

But it would also alert the enemy prematurely.

Revenge for Whitney was inevitable, but it had to wait.

"I understand," Ludwik said firmly, then added, "Parker, stay out of sight for now. We can't let this partnership leak."

Parker took a deep breath and nodded, "You always think several steps ahead, Ludwik. Now's definitely the time to keep a low profile."

"Yeah, now's not the time to come out into the open.

I'll continue playing the part of the downtrodden, let Jarvis and the others trample all over me. That way, they'll get careless.

In crucial moments, one must learn to endure silently, then strike back the hardest," Ludwik said with a cold and profound look. "I want to deal a fatal blow, dethrone the Patrick family from their top spot, and give Bryce a taste of his own medicine."

"Ludwik, the Inko Group is with you, let's show them what we've got."

Parker walked back from the floor-to-ceiling window, slightly more relaxed, a smirk playing on his lips, "Coming back from the dead, huh? Let's find Ashton. The three of us will not rest until we're drunk tonight. With him and me by your side, what's there to fear?"

Ludwik said nothing, his large hand landing heavily on Parker's shoulder, nodding with a smile.

Bryce returned to his office in a foul mood, still pondering whether Ludwik managed to secure a deal with Phineas.

His new secretary brought in a cup of coffee, swaying her hips as she entered the CEO's office.

"Mr. Lutz, your coffee."

"Just put it down."
