Before Ekialde could finish speaking, a loud noise rang out and the phone call was cut off. Cyrus froze. He then immediately searched for the location that Ekialde mentioned and rushed there. ……When Cyrus reached Juglans Bar on Carmine Street, he pushed open the door and went in. It was dimly lit and the whole place smelled like a mixture of unpleasant things.Bang!The lights suddenly turned on, and the bar instantly became bright as day. “Well, looks like someone is looking for trouble,” said someone sarcastically. Cyrus immediately looked toward the booth seats.The man who spoke was sitting on the couch. Ekialde, Talia, Nigel, and the rest of them were there too. Ekialde’s face was bloody. The person who spoke was stepping on his head. He looked at Cyrus mockingly. Beside him were a few men; some looked bulky and some looked refined. Miguel Robinson laughed mockingly. “Oh, I was scared when my subordinate called for reinforcements. So, it’s him? Just him?”Hi
Cyrus paused for a while. His gaze was stern and cold!Cyrus ran towards Miguel as fast as an arrow shot from a bow, and instantly kicked him. The couch that Miguel was slammed against broke into pieces. Miguel screamed, and vomited blood. “Oh my…”Instantly, Talia looked at Cyrus with amazement. She was shocked. ‘Cyrus is that strong?!’In the bar, apart from the sound of people moaning in pain, none of the subordinates dared to fight Cyrus.Cyrus checked Ekialde’s injuries. His internal injuries were quite severe. It was obvious that he had been badly beaten for quite some time. Even so, his injuries were not life-threatening. “Send Ekialde to the hospital.”Talia came back to her senses and said timidly, “Cyrus, can we not go to the hospital? We’re afraid of our families finding out…”Cyrus frowned slightly. After seeing Talia’s pitiful expression, he did not know what to do.“Send him to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy.”“Okay!”Talia hurriedly helped Ekialde up. Cy
Cyrus smiled. “Of course. Even though you guys have been beaten up pretty badly, I think… you all did the right thing.”“I’ll go back to the company and help you all to apply for one week’s leave”Talia felt grateful as she nodded vigorously. After he asked Alda to look after Ekialde and the rest, Cyrus headed back to the company. After he arrived, he helped them apply for one week's leave. After he got off work, he went back to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy. With his help, Ekialde and the rest recovered really quickly. At least their injuries were not as visible. Their family would not find out when they returned home. Of course, Ekialde’s injuries were more severe. He still needed to stay in bed for a couple more days. The next day, Cyrus returned to Team Four’s office. Talia and a few of the team members’ eyes lit up when they saw him. They felt excited and idolized him. “Cyrus!”She called out. Nigel and the few of them stood in a row like they were in the military.
The moment Cyrus entered Meeting Room 3, most of the people paid attention to him. However, the look they gave him was strange. “Who are you?” A man looked at him arrogantly. “I’m Cyrus Salazar, the assistant team leader of Team Four. Mr. Long is on leave today. I’m here today on his behalf,” Cyrus said. “Team Four?” The man smiled contemptuously, “Mr. Salazar, don’t you think Team Four is such a waste of space? The company needs to pay for the mineral water, you know?”The others lowered their heads and laughed unabashedly when they heard this. Mr. Flores frowned. He quickly relaxed. “Mr. Blanke is in charge of the company's finances. I understand that you want to save the company’s money.“But could it be that our company’s funds are so tight that you need to care about the cost of one mineral bottle?”The chief financial officer snorted. “I just don’t want to waste our resources! Mr. Salazar, don’t be out of line!”Mr. Flores smiled and did not reply. He then talked to
“Mr. Salazar, you have no right to speak here!” Korah said sternly in a cold voice. Stefano smiled and looked aggrieved for Cyrus. “Ms. Gardner, I don’t think that’s the case. Since Mr. Salazar attended this meeting, he has the right to speak.“Ms. Gardner, aren’t your words too harsh?”Korah clenched her fist. She was fuming!‘Team Four is infamous, even outside the company. Who would want to sign a contract with them?‘What do you know, Cyrus?!’“Ms. Gardner, I think Mr. Blanke is right. Team Four needs to show some results to prove its capability.”Cyrus did not seem to notice what Korah was trying to do as he spoke seriously. Stefano smiled broadly. “I truly admire such an ambitious person like you. If Team Four is able to sign projects worth twenty million dollars and above… “I will acknowledge the team and never again ask to abolish the team.“However, I want Team Four to win this bet on their own. They must not seek any help in secret.”Cyrus nodded and said plainl
Nigel and the other Team Four members were relieved when they heard that Cyrus had promised to protect them. But Talia was still worried about this matter. Cyrus flipped through Team Four’s work records. Hmm… It was just like what Ekialde had told him. The Team Four members were just running some errands, like sending documents and contracts that had been finalized. “Cyrus… Why don’t you just surrender to Mr. Blanke? I think he is a generous man, and he won’t make things hard for us.”While flipping through documents, Cyrus smiled and said, “Your father is one of the shareholders, but you’re scared of Mr. Blanke?”Talia showed a gloomy expression and said, “I’m just an insignificant person in the family, and my words do not carry much weight. My father just ignores me. The company will only judge you based on your abilities. How can we compete with Mr. Blanke…?” “Besides, Mr. Blanke’s father is the second-largest shareholder in the company. So, his words carry more weight
“Korah is...”Cyrus frowned. He wondered if everyone simply disliked him. “I need to ask Lufian how big of a favor my master owes him... It’s too difficult to serve Korah.”Anyone who got married to Korah would be unlucky!After sighing, Cyrus immediately followed behind her. …… At Ember Hotel...After Korah parked her car, four strong and fit bodyguards stepped out of the Cadillac beside her car. “Ms. Gardner!”The four bodyguards bowed politely. “Let’s go.” Korah’s expression was dreary. She certainly would not be attending this meeting by herself. She had asked the bodyguards to arrive earlier and wait for her at the hotel's parking lot. She carefully chose these four bodyguards, and they all had great skills. If Nathan dared to attack Korah, these four men would deal with him immediately. Korah huffed coldly as she thought about Cyrus’ advice. She wondered if Cyrus thought that she did not know how to protect herself and needed him to be involved in her busi
Nathan was not scared because he had Haco Corporation to support him no matter what happened.“Who the h*ll are you? How dare you meddle in my business!”“Do you believe that I can make you unable to leave this hotel!”Cyrus said faintly, “I don’t believe it.”“D*mn! Do you want to die?!”Nathan took the wine bottle from the table and threw it at Cyrus. Cyrus could easily avoid the wine bottle that was flying toward him. He moved toward Nathan and kicked him.“Ah—”Nathan staggered backward and fell onto the dining table. “You… b*stard! Who the h*ll are you! Tell me your name!”Nathan was mad. He almost had his hands on Korah, but suddenly, someone showed up and ruined his plan.“I’m just a staff in Gardner Corporation.”After he finished speaking, Cyrus walked toward Nathan. How could an alcoholic and lustful person like Nathan be a match for him?Bang!Cyrus pressed Nathan’s head hard on the table. Nathan’s face almost got disfigured and stained with blood. “Ah…”N
