The next morning, Kayson joined Easton to depart for Capital Building Material Corp. with the contract.On the other hand, Sadie took out her phone to make a call while she was at the company. “Hello, Mr. Young. I’m Sadie Wolfenden from Wolfenden Corp.”“Ah! It’s you, Ms. Wolfenden!” Kenneth chuckled on the other end of the call and said, “You’re calling me so early in the morning, to what do I owe the pleasure?”The matter would determine the survival of The Tetrad, but she did not have the courage to make it sound like a big deal. She said in a very gentle tone, “This is the situation, Mr. Young. There’s a project which we’ve collaborated on previously that has already come to a full completion.“We are sending over two staff members with the contract from our side—”Upon hearing that, Kenneth immediately interrupted by saying, “Ms. Wolfenden. I’m afraid that this is a slightly difficult situation for me because I’m running short of money recently.“Hence, I will need an exte
At Capital Building Material Corp…Kayson and Easton were waiting at the entrance when two muscular men who looked rather rugged came out.One of them pointed at Kayson brazenly and barked, “Mr. Young asks for the two of you to leave!”Easton was a little scared, but he braved it out and said, “We are from Wolfenden Corp. and are here to meet Mr. Young for business.”“Mr. Young isn’t free. Piss off right now, or don’t blame us for getting rough!”Easton looked a little troubled as he asked in a whisper, “Mr. Kace, what do we do next?”Kayson turned to him. “We’ll go back since Mr. Young isn’t in?”Easton was rendered speechless.“Bro, that’s obviously an excuse! They’re trying to shrug the payment off! They’ll say he’s busy no matter which day we come!”“Oh.” Kayson nodded and said, “Then hide in the car. I can go up on my own.”“Uh…” Easton was taken aback before he replied through gritted teeth. “I think I’d better go up there with you.”Kayson chuckled and went back to th
Kayson swung a fist on Kenneth’s left shoulder, and the latter’s left arm fell limp. Fat droplets of sweat dotted Kenneth’s forehead.“You… I won’t let you go… And Wolfenden Corp. too…”Kayson grabbed Kenneth’s head and slammed it against the desk, causing the latter to bleed through his nose.“I’ll sign it!” Kenneth was heaving. He was furious! He would sign this contract but make sure Wolfenden Corp. would pay for this!Kayson let him go. “You could have done this earlier, and it’d be good for both of us, right, Mr. Young?”Kenneth fumbled for some tissue to wipe his nose and glared at Kayson begrudgingly. He picked up the pen to sign his name before barking, “Piss off!”Kayson nonchalantly collected the contract and left. When Easton saw that Kayson had managed to get the contract signed, he was delighted.“I knew it. There wouldn’t be any issue when you’re the one handling it!”Easton took the contract and flipped through it carefully and joyfully.“Mr. Kace, wait for me h
“D-Don’t you joke about this!”Kenneth paled in fear. He used to fight Horacio back in the day, but he had lost—very badly! The Quad Falcons had been the ones who kicked his *ss back then, so he was well aware of their capabilities!When he learned about Horacio and The Quad Falcons' demise, he was shocked but also delighted.Now, though, Gabriel was telling him that the young man who had beaten him up minutes earlier was the one who had killed Horacio.Gabriel continued to speak with a shuddering voice. “What’s worse is that Mr. Yarde knows bigshots in Assos. No one will be able to save you if you offend him!”Kenneth paled with terror brimming his eyes.“Why the f*ck didn’t you tell me earlier!?”Kenneth fumbled for his phone and called back everyone he had called.“Mr. Young, you’re…”Kenneth trembled with sweat slowly soaking him.“I made calls just now to ask all the bosses in the construction material field to stop working with Wolfenden Corp…”Gabriel felt like a thun
A Honda Accord stopped right in front of Wolfenden Corp.’s entrance. As soon as the driver got out of the car, he sprinted for the lobby without a care for his car. Not even the security guards could stop him.The driver looked panicked as he jabbed his finger on the elevator button—and he was none other than the boss of Capital Building Material Corp., Kenneth.Taking Gabriel’s suggestion, he had come straight to Wolfenden Corp. to apologize in person! He was not wasting even one second with it, and this was the first time in his life that he felt how tortuously slow the elevator was.In the meeting room…Miles snorted. “Mr. Oxley, do you think we should be praising you for being efficient?”Easton’s heart dropped. Miles’ tone did not sound kind!Ben stood up with a glower.“G-Grandpa—”Ben raised a hand to slap Easton, stunning the latter. The young man was frightened and asked shakily, “G-Grandpa, have I done something wrong?”“Idiot! You’ve caused so much damage to the com
Trevor’s face hardened upon listening to the busy tone on the line.Miles dared not make a sound either looking at his glowering father, but he wondered what had happened to Kenneth as well.After a while, Trevor spoke up darkly. “Who knows what’s gotten into Kenneth…“There must be something behind this. Find it out. What happened after Easton went to him!?”Miles nodded hastily. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll get to the bottom of this!”Trevor took a deep breath. “Easton and those pieces of trash managed to escape this time. Well, they won’t be so lucky next time!”“Dad, you don’t have to worry about The Tetrad so much. Their new deputy team leader, Kayson, made a bet with me that The Tetrad will be dissolved if they can’t get a $3,000,000 worth of project contract within a month!” said Miles.Trevor nodded. “That’s good!“In this case, I’ll leave Easton and the others to you and focus on Sadie and Liam Wolfenden instead.”“No problem!” Miles was confident. “I’ll make sure The Tetr
“Consider yourself lucky today. Otherwise, Mr. Oxley would skin you alive for sure!” Sadie glared at him ferociously.Easton knew Sadie well enough to know that he could only keep a smile and not talk back to her at this point.Noticing Easton's lack of temper, Sadie furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Who went with you to Capital Building Material Corp. today?”Easton appeared to be in a daze for a moment before he feigned his calmness and pointed at Kayson. “I brought this lad with me.”Sadie was stunned. ‘Kayson? It really is him, huh?’“How did you get Kenneth to sign the contract?” Sadie’s eyes were filled with puzzlement.Easton said without any sign of anxiety, “I entered the office and beat up Mr. Young until he yielded.”Sadie’s expression turned stern. “So, you take pride in yourself for doing that, huh?”“No, I don’t…”Sadie darted a ferocious look at him. “I’m deducting $450 from your pay! You too, Kayson! You’re so dumb that you don’t even report your team leader’s
“The patient’s condition is strange. If one were to describe her as being sick, her pulse and vital signs were stable when my grandfather examined her.“If one were to describe her as not being sick, she appears to be in bad condition like that of a critically ill person.“My grandfather attempted multiple methods to treat her, yet his efforts were futile. He’s troubled about the patient’s condition, and that is why he seeks your help to see if you can figure out a way to treat her.”Kayson nodded. He had already come up with a few speculations, but he could only come to a conclusion after examining the patient.“My grandfather claims that there are all sorts of strange things in this enormous world, and so is the art of healing. No one has the courage to claim that they’re capable of treating every possible illness, and one must always be eager to learn at all times.“I used to find that absurd, but I believe in my grandfather’s philosophy now,” Lindy exclaimed emotionally.
