Kaze then slammed the contract on the table. It was so loud that it sounded like a slap on Dale’s face. “Mr. Dalong, you are forcing us to agree with your terms!” Winnie was furious and frightened. That explained why Dale had that many men in the room even though it was just a contract signing process. Without Kaze, she might be coerced into signing the unfair contract. Dale glared at Kaze. He thought Kaze was just a weakling based on his smiley face but the words he said had weight to them. However, no matter how threatening Kaze was, they were just verbal threats. Dale scoffed, “Five hundred million was yesterday’s price. Two billion is today’s price. What’s wrong with it? I can’t change the price? This is a legitimate business deal.” “Five hundred million is already overpriced and you are asking for two billion? Mr. Dalong, you are being ridiculous!” Winnie argued coldly. Dale grunted and leaned back on his chair. “If it’s too expensive for you, then don’t buy it
“Hey, I’m not the one who got your money. Go find that guy who has it.” Dale crossed his legs on his table again, showing no signs of compromising. “Dale Dalong, you are just a shameless prick! You really think we can’t do anything? We’ll sue you!” Winnie was so agitated that she teared up. “Whatever,” Dale scoffed. He was not afraid of taking the legal route. The case would stretch out for more than a year or two and he was not the one in a hurry. “Show them the way out.” Dale signaled his men impatiently. He added, “Hmph. You should have done your homework before coming to me.” His men then surrounded Kaze and Winnie, trying to scare them off. “You heard the boss, piss off!” “Get out now or we’ll break your legs!” Kaze’s gaze turned cold. “Dale Dalong, you are not giving us back the deposit?” “What the fuck is wrong with you, punk?” Dale bellowed. He signaled one of his men and said, “Our little chairman here is trying to be a hero. Bring all our men out and
“What’s up with your perverted look? Never seen a woman before?” Miru shook her hand as she grunted coldly. Dale covered his plump but reddish face and his expression quickly turned grim. “You bitch! You slapped me?!” Infuriated, he shouted, “Do you have any idea who…” Slap! Miru slapped him again and said with a grin, “Do you have any idea who I am?” “Patrick, tell him.” Miru signaled her man without turning around. Miru’s man stepped up and said, “This is the chairwoman of Lefteria Group, Miru Scarlet.” “Chairwoman of Lefteria Group?” Dale’s eyes widened in fear. “You are Miru Scarlet, Alan Cummingham’s goddaughter?” His men were frightened as well. Miru was the goddaughter of the ex-underworld kingpin! Alan just recently got rid of his long-time rival who was a fellow underworld kingpin, Cronus. No one else in Lilyrose dared to mess with Lefteria Group. Miru scoffed. She strutted over to the couch and sat down. She lifted her chin at Kaze and said, “Wel
“Of course!” Miru’s men thought Kaze doubted their capabilities. They wore a proud look and said, “I am the most ferocious interrogator serving Master Cummingham!” “I have more than fifty ways to torture a person without killing them.” “Yeah! Me too!” Kaze then smiled at Dale. “You heard them. Why don’t you give them a chance?” “Mr. Lee! Wait, let’s just talk about this! I’ll speak! I’ll tell you everything!” Dale knelt on the ground, prostrating as he cried. He was already horrified. Kaze was like the devil to him. “It’s Frank! Frank Golding! He said that Shangrila Group is trying to take their market share, so he has to do something to stop it! He wanted to crush Shangrila and prevent Ms. Souffle from purchasing any factory so that your company would end up as a joke!” Dale collapsed under the pressure and blurted out everything Frank instructed him to do. “Frank Golding! That hypocrite! He’s always playing dirty, trying to stop us from getting back on track!” W
The moment the contract was signed, the factory belonged to Shangrila Group. Dale and his men were thrown out of the office. Winnie was delighted that the deal finally went through. She called the office and told her employees to send someone over to inspect the factory before starting production. “Kaze, you’ve done it this time. Now that I have your back, you're acting like a bully,” Miru teased Kaze out of habit as she went over to him. “What do you mean you have my back?” Kaze showed no mercy to the woman. He argued, “I called Alan and he called you. You are just someone that your godfather sends to run errands and take care of things.” And she fit the role well. She came, revealed her identity, beat up Dale, and solved the problem. Quick and simple. “What do you mean by running errands? I’ll rip your mouth off your face if you don’t know how to choose your words!” Miru argued. On second thought, she realized what she did was exactly what Kaze said. She literally
The news of Shangrila Group getting the factory at the price of just one hundred million soon reached the ears of the top three families. The heads of the top three families permitted Frank to target Shangrila Group. Frank called Dale and shouted, “Dale Dalong, you fucking pig! Did you lose your mind? You sold a five hundred million factory off at just one hundred million? Do you remember what I said to you?!” The top three families were gangsters of Lilyrose City, not in the underworld, but openly. Frank had gotten used to ordering Dale and others around. He shouted as soon as the call got through. To his surprise, Dale, who used to be obedient and submissive, shouted back at him. “Frank fucking Golding! I lost money and it was my fucking business! Fuck off! It was you, you little piece of fuck! If I hadn’t listened to you, I would have gotten the five hundred million!” Frank was stunned for a moment. He yelled back angrily, “Dale Dalong, how dare you talk to me like t
Frank informed the guild that Shangrila Group was behind the impersonation of the God of War that made the headlines for the past two days. The guild paid close attention to this incident. Soon, a notice was released by the guild. The guild demanded all the offline medical supply distributors in South River to boycott the products manufactured by Shangrila Group. Whoever disobeyed the guild would be punished severely. “Shangrila Group purchased the factory and wanted to start production, but where are they going to sell the products?” Frank grinned when he learned the news. The notice from the guild was effective immediately. Everyone knew Shangrila Group was blacklisted. “Mr. Chairman, Ms. Souffle, we just got a call from Mr. Oliver Ramos, the CEO of Cynotech Medical, South River Branch. He wanted to cancel the meeting for tomorrow.” Sophie, the chairman’s assistant, updated Winnie and Kaze when they came back from the factory. Cynotech Medical was one of the top f
They could not even get out of South River State and Kaze was talking about nationwide sales? The executives were stunned by his words. They neither expressed it with their looks nor their voices, but they thought it was ridiculous. The chairman was either too naive or a complete rookie in the business world and its ecosystem. Shangrila Group had just been rebuilt and they had yet to form their own sales channel or have their sales team. In order to deliver their products to the consumers, the products must be on the racks of different physical stores and the only way to distribute the products was through the distributors, who had the sales channel. Kaze saw through their thoughts. He said calmly, “Why must we rely on the distributors? Our product can be sold online.” “Online?” The executives were surprised by his suggestion. They had never thought about it before because they were thinking in an orthodox way. “Anthony, can the chairman’s suggestion work?” Winnie aske
