Snow was incredibly headstrong. Vance put his ego aside and got down on his knees. Yet, Snow had the audacity to tell all of them to get out. Jackson rose to his feet, his smile frozen, and strode toward Snow. He said with a pretentious smile, “You are testing my patience, woman. “Do you think I wouldn’t do anything to you?” He reached out and clutched Snow by the chin. “Touch her, and I promise you can kiss your hand goodbye.” A chilling voice resounded. Everybody in the office turned to the source of the voice. “Mr. Chairman!” Snow exclaimed with joy.She was relieved. Kaze, though delayed by traffic, had arrived. He took leisurely steps into the space, his eyes browsing the mess in the office. He took a breath and frowned. “So you’re the chairman of Perfect World Group?” Raising his brow, Jackson checked Kaze out. Unimpressed, he sneered. “I heard that the chairman of Perfect World Group stays behind the scenes. Even though he has been a public figure for ye
“Apologize on your knees for the earlier disrespect. “An apology won’t cut it, though. I expect some substance behind the apology.“I’m not asking for much. Just ten percent Perfect World Group shares. Oh, and doll your assistant up and send her to my bed before I consider pardoning you. “That’s all I’m asking for. Tick, tock. The choice is yours. “You can choose not to go along with my request, but when I go for you, I’ll be expecting a lot more than this.” Jackson grinned ruthlessly, bringing to life the character of a cocky rich boy. Apart from Snow, Jackson’s minions, Miranda, and Vance gloated over Kaze’s predicament. A single insult toward Jackson demanded a hefty ten percent stake in Perfect World Group.Kaze had to pay for his insolence. It was a huge price to pay. Nevertheless, no one took pity on Kaze because he deserved it. That was the punishment for getting sassy with Jackson, who was part of the Ridgesouth Quints and the son of a deputy governor.
“I’ll leave you unharmed if you get down on your knees and use yourself to wipe my office down like a rag. “Otherwise, even your dad can’t save you.” Kaze’s flat yet arrogant statement hung heavy in the air, leaving the office silent. That remark could only come from a madman. Jackson was taken aback at first, but he quickly burst out laughing. “You expect me to wipe your office down like a rag before you consider sparing me?“Am I dreaming, boys?” “Hahaha!” Jackson’s followers started snickering. Miranda and Vance held back from laughing, but their eyes reflected their disdain for Kaze. Kaze sure had the nerve. Miranda and Vance could not believe the audacity of Kaze. “Do you think I’m joking with you?” With a smirk playing on his lips, Kaze did not waste his breath and went up to swing his arm. “Smack!” Jackson fell back, his head hitting the ground with a loud wham. The wooden floor cracked. Blood seeped out of Jackson’s head. “Ow!” Jackson let out a h
After a brief shock, Jackson’s bodyguards snapped out of their trance. “Let Mr. Quint go.” “You’re asking for it, boy!” They growled menacingly. The bodyguards were in for it if anything were to happen to Jackson. Without hesitation, they pounced on Kaze. Kaze raised his hand to slap Jackson, never looking away from him. “Come and get me if you don’t want me to kill him.” “Argh!” The extinguished cigar was slapped out of his mouth as Jackson shrieked in horror. “Ugh…” Jackson sat up, his hand holding onto his neck distraughtly. His mouth was covered in blisters from the scalding. He was in agony. “Are you alright, Mr. Quint?” his sidekicks and security team asked. With his hands still on his neck, Jackson lifted his head and looked at Kaze. “You’re going to get it, Lee.” Jackson’s voice became hoarse from the scorching cigar. “Smack!” Kaze responded with a slap. “I’m going to get it? “Well, come and give it to me.“I’m still waiting, though. It coul
Though Jackson did not hail directly from the Ridgesouth Quints, his family was recognized as a branch of the main family.Besides, his father, Mason, served as a mayor of a major city in the South State for a while, a rank equivalent to a deputy governor. That sort of connection would put Jackson on par with other rich and powerful heirs. Hence, Jackson had people eating out of his palm in the South State. He would crush and insult any member of the upper society who rubbed him the wrong way. No one scared Jackson. However, a country bumpkin in Lilyrose was his downfall.The torture did not stop with Jackson having a lit cigar stuffed in his mouth. Kaze even sat there, telling Jackson to call anyone for help. Rage overtook Jackson’s every being. Jackson would never live down the humiliation unless Kaze was dead. He whipped out his phone and started dialing numbers. “Call all the heads of Lilyrose’s governing bodies for me. Tell them I want Lee and Perfect World Gro
“Don’t be mad, Mr. Quint. I called the deputies of the Commerce Administration and Health Authority, and they are on their way.”“The leaders of the Audit Office and Urban Management are driving here as we speak.” “Once the leaders of these governing bodies get here, they can point out and make a big deal out of a tiny issue in Perfect World Group, forcing the corporation to shut down.” “That’s right. He doesn’t take you seriously now, but he’ll be begging for his life in tears later.” Jackson’s sidekicks consoled him. Their families had a long history of government service, granting insight into the system. These departmental heads might have a huge influence on their own, but together, they could shake down an entire corporation. Within ten minutes, a motorcade of high-ranking officials’ cars had converged on Perfect World Group, clogging the area in front of the building. They were Elijah Howden, the deputy of the Commerce Administration; Houdini Creek, deputy of the
In the end, all eyes were on Kaze. It was hard to look away from Kaze when he sat on the couch, his legs sprawled out. To add shock value, Snow stood subserviently behind the mysterious young man. The group could not presume that the young man was the chairman of Perfect World Group. “You can stop making your assumptions. He is the elusive chairman of Perfect World Group.” Jackson sneered. “You have the nerve to defy me just because you’re loaded. Why don’t you ask around and get the number of rich fools my father put behind bars? “The Ridgesouth Quints are mega-rich. Your wealth doesn’t give you an edge.” The handprint on Jackson’s face gave the leaders all they needed to know. Jackson had just been insulted. The leaders were there to stick up for Jackson. The group was put in the spot. On one end, Jackson, belonging to the Ridgesouth Quints, was the son of the upcoming mayor.On the other end, the chairman of Perfect World Group was rumored to be associated wi
“I also called Victor Little, the police department’s second-in-command. He’s already on the way.“I told him that if he plays his cards right, he will be the next police chief. “I hope you can keep up with your tough act once he gets here later,” Jackson said grimly. Kaze smiled faintly. “Victor Little?“Sorry to let you down, but his rank isn’t quite there yet.” “His rank doesn’t matter. He has enough to kill you.” Jackson could not take Kaze’s offhanded attitude. “Mr. Quint.” A voice resounded. A tall and beefy armed man in uniform swaggered into the place. Several intimidating-looking uniformed officers followed him in the back. The stout man was Victor Little, the police department’s second-in-command. “Victor.” “Vic.” The heads of governing bodies greeted Victor. Victor was a real tough guy. He made a name for himself during his younger days, fighting against drug dealers. Rumor had it that he busted a drug cartel on his own, wiping out the drug dealers.
