"I didn't say I wouldn't give you the money. Why are you in such a hurry?" Frederick said with a smirk."But thirty million is no small amount. Even as a company general manager, it's difficult for me to access this money without drawing attention."Drake's face shifted between anger and being calculative. "So what do you want?" "Let's go to the bank. I'll personally withdraw the money for you," Frederick said, his smile devoid of warmth."Great! Mr. Lester, you're a straightforward person! I'll remember this favor. If you need any dirty or tough jobs done in the future, just let my brothers and me know, and we'll be right there!" Drake's demeanor brightened as he spoke, his previous hostility melting away.However, his tone turned more calculating. "But leaving Ms. Garcia alone here doesn't seem right. Why not come with us to get the money? It's better to have someone to look out for her on the way."Frederick's smile remained unchanged. "That's fine."Drake was a crafty old
Drake's face twisted into a snarl. "Withdraw forty million now! I'll break your legs if you come up short by even a penny! And your woman? She can't leave until each of my men has had his turn with her!"Frederick's shameless antics only further enraged Drake. The consequences for doing so were severe!He was ready to rip off the facade of civility. Today, Frederick was going to get a taste of his wrath!Nella's face turned ashen. "You want money and to use us like that? Do you even have a shred of humanity left?""Humanity in our underground society?" Drake scoffed. "You might as well go hug god's statue in a church!""Nella, I command you to shut up." Frederick calmly pulled her back into his embrace, and added nonchalantly, "You talk too much, and it lowers my status. Do you understand?"Nella was at a loss for words. The shock of Frederick's cold demeanor left her unsure how to respond.Trembling, she said, "Mr. Lester, don't you realize we're surrounded?""Really?" Fre
"I understand the rules. I'm the one who understands them best!"Rocky gritted his teeth, and cut two of his own fingers.Nella nearly screamed. Oh my god, it was horrifying! He had voluntarily mutilated himself!Frederick was stunned. "I only asked for one finger.""Mr. Lester, you asked for one finger. The other is my own punishment!" Rocky said in a booming voice.Indeed, Rocky lived up to his name.Frederick decided not to press the issue further. "Alright. I'll leave this man to you. This matter is concluded."Rocky nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Mr. Lester! Thank you for the opportunity!"He then turned and stepped on Drake's head with a loud crunch. A piercing scream followed as Drake's skull was crushed.Seeing this, Frederick took Nella, who was trembling, and left the scene."Mr. Lester, why are the people from the underground world so respectful to you?" Nella asked, still in shock.She hadn't anticipated that her boss had such a formidable presence in the under
It was Willard and Jillian—the deputy human resource manager Frederick fired before, and the livestreamer who had made it to the interview through her connections.At this moment, they strutted about like victorious roosters, their airs of superiority palpable.Jillian, with her hands on her hips and nose in the air. "Jasmine, things have changed. Don't talk to us with that condescending attitude! You're not in a position to do so."We're here representing the bigshots behind the scenes to demand a refund! Everyone knows your boss at Aerowind Enterprise is missing. After failing to reach him for so long, the major investors and backers have pulled out."And here you are, still trying to act tough?"Jasmine's face paled, as if her wounds had been exposed. "Our general manager is just missing, not dead! We're actively trying to contact him, so stop spreading false rumors! Besides, even without Mr. Lester, Aerowind Enterprise still has me and a team of elite staff. We're still stan
With Frederick's downfall, the investors and backers promptly pulled their funding. Jasmine hadn't anticipated the swift and drastic reaction—it was as if they had caught the scent of blood. The shortfall was now in hundreds of millions!The amount wasn't enormous, and Jasmine could have covered it using the Smith family's funds. However, if she did that, it would publicly confirm that Aerowind Enterprise was on the brink of collapse.With the general manager missing and the deputy general manager starting to cover the gaps with personal funds, it would only hasten the company's downfall!On the other side, Willard began talking. "Are you still pretending?" "Jasmine, the bigshots behind us are former investors in your company. They have a lot of cash tied up here."They're worried that the front-line investors have already withdrawn their funds, and they won't get a penny. That's why they sent us to collect the debt!""My friends, we're going to storm in there soon. Take wha
Bang!After delivering that initial blow, Frederick advanced, lifting the brick and continuing to slam it into Jillian's face.Crack! Crack! Crack!Jillian's face was quickly reduced to a bloody, mangled mess. Blood splattered everywhere as her body convulsed violently. Her screams turned into frantic, desperate howls.The sudden brutality of the scene left everyone in stunned silence, their faces frozen in shock.It was Frederick Lester!The general manager of Aerowind Enterprise!He was still alive!Nella's heart raced, her fear making her throat tighten. It turned out that Frederick had gone outside to fetch a brick from a nearby construction site to use as a weapon!Frederick continued to rain down blows with the brick, his face expressionless as he let the hot blood spatter around him. Gradually, Jillian's struggles ceased and her screams stopped. She lay motionless on the ground, limbs sprawled out, her face unrecognizable. Her features had been completely obliterated.
In no time, all the troublemakers lay dead at the company's entrance, their bodies scattered everywhere. Not a single one of them managed to escape.Even Jasmine didn’t dare to stop the enraged Frederick, resigning herself to his rampage until every last one of them was dead.Afterward, she called the crematorium, requesting a large truck to collect the bodies."Frederick, we couldn't reach you all night. Where have you been?" she asked.Frederick tossed aside the brick, and adjusted his clothes. With a serious expression, he said, "I ran into some trouble and broke my phone. Nothing happened to the company while I was gone, did it?"Jasmine's eyes were bloodshot with frustration. "Of course it did—it was a major crisis! We almost couldn't control it!"If Frederick hadn't shown up in time to dispel the rumors, there might have been even worse troublemakers than Jillian and Willard arriving at their door!Frederick's expression darkened further as he listened to Jasmine's account
For the first time, Jennifer was enthusiastic and proactive.Frederick was pleasantly surprised. "Are you sure? I'm feeling pretty intense right now. Can you handle it?"Jennifer smiled seductively. "I've got a lot of fire in me too! Can you take it?"Frederick grasped Jennifer's hand more firmly, and he glanced around. "Here?""Are you scared?" Jennifer smiled sweetly."No way!"Then, Frederick wrapped them both in a coat...and they went all out in the cold wind!Half an hour later, Jennifer poked her head out of the coat with a flushed face, breathing heavily. "Aren’t you going to get off me? I’m dying here!"Frederick chuckled as he got off Jennifer, and calmly got dressed.As they approached the rooftop exit, they realized Jasmine and Nella had been waiting for a long time. Jasmine and Nella looked away, blushing."Did you see everything?" Frederick felt a bit embarrassed, but tried to laugh it off. "Haha! Well, you girls have to face these things eventually. It's somethi
