The president would never show himself easily, yet no one had the courage not to take him seriously. “Hello, Mr. Jackson.”Seth said smilingly, “Hello. I heard from Mr. Russell that you’re acquainted with Mr. Yarde, right?”Sia was stunned for a moment before she said, “I suppose you can say that.”Seth said politely, “I’m planning on buying dinner for Mr. Yarde tonight, and I hope that you can do me a favor then, Ms. Yann. Please help me to put in a good word for me in Superlunar Deck.”‘Oh God…’ Sia was already dumbfounded by how Mr. Jackson seemed to be afraid of Kayson.…In Icepine Deck, Nigel arrived not long after Kayson and Sadie took a seat.Nigel said slightly apologetically, “I’m sorry for the long wait, Ms. Wolfenden.”Sadie said, “No, we’ve only just arrived too. Would you like to order first, Mr. Jensen?”Nigel waved dismissively with flagging interest. “It’s fine. You can just order for yourself, and we’ll adjourn early once we’re done with the meal.”Sadie f
Nigel’s expression was calm, and he did not appear to vent his anger on Sadie. “Ms. Wolfenden, let’s part ways after this meal, and we shall never cross paths again. I’ve already done everything that I can within my capability by coming to this appointment tonight.”Sadie cracked a smile so forceful that it was a hideous smile. She calmed herself with great effort and said, “Mr. Jackson, I’m still very grateful for everything you did regardless. We must enjoy a good feast tonight.”Nigel nodded insincerely. He could not possibly not eat anything since he was here in person.The meal was carried out in a rather tense ambiance as Sadie and Nigel were not in the mood to chat leisurely.Both of them finished the meal quickly, and Nigel got up in preparation to leave because they were not in the mood to chat.Sadie wanted to send Nigel off, so she got up and sent Nigel to the door while Kayson followed after her.They headed downstairs, yet they bumped into a group of people aroun
Gibson did not admit it, but his eyes were trained on Kayson. “Who are you!?”Kayson shrugged, replying calmly, “Kayson Yarde, The Tetrad’s team leader of the project department in Wolfenden Corp.“This is Wolfenfen Corp.’s GM, Ms. Wolfenden. It looks like you haven’t done enough homework since you do not know what she looks like, huh, Mr. Fisher?”“What? Both of you are from Wolfenden Corp.!?”Gibson was offended. How had Nigel lost his job? It was because he had given Dickinson International to Sadie Wolfenden. When he took over Nigel’s place, his first task was to pass the project to someone else. Despite that, he was later notified that the project was passed back to Wolfenden Corp., and that infuriated him because it caused the bigshot to berate him even when he knew that the latter was only venting on him and did not mean to blame him.That said, he was still enraged about it and was incredibly pissed by Wolfenden Corp.“Okay, I didn’t expect to run into you here!” Gibson g
Gibson lost his composure right away, hurrying to ask, “Mr. Jackson, d-did I say something wrong?“Pray tell! I’ll correct myself! I’ll definitely correct myself, Mr. Jackson!”He had just taken this position for a handful of days—not even warmed to the position yet—and he had to return the position? He would be the butt of the joke!“Scram!” snarled Seth. “Piss off right now, or things are going to get ugly for you!”Gibson was baffled, falling to his butt with a stagger. The few people who came with him—one of them had the intention to buy him a meal but left with a scowl after seeing what the situation had turned into. The others dared not linger either and left hastily.Seth approached Nigel with a warm smile, like he was meeting an old friend.“Mr. Jensen, I’ve been blind to promote a dodgy man like Gibson and let you down. Please don’t hold it to your heart.“I’ll give you back your original position first thing tomorrow, and I promise all will be taken care of properly.”
“It’d embarrass others otherwise. You can’t do that again, understand?”Kayson replied wryly, “You’re right, Ms. Wolfenden. I’ll keep it in mind next time.”The group took their seat in Superlunar Deck. Seth was incredibly courteous to Sadie as he served her desserts and drinks. He was more respectful to Kayson and stayed cautious when interacting with him.Seth chatted with Sadie for a while. The latter knew that he was not here for her, so she promptly switched the topic of conversation to Kayson.After that, she asked Sia, “I see you have the tag of the vice GM and it’s my first time here in Moonly Olympus. Do you think you can take me around?”“Of course. You’re a VIP. Come with me, Ms. Wolfenden!” Sia said with a smile.Sadie got up and left Superlunar Deck with Sia—not before eyeing Kayson as a warning.Once they left, Seth was both reverent and awkward. “Mr. Yarde…”“What are you up to?” Kayson asked with a frown.Seth chuckled dryly and sighed. “I’ve offended you previ
Sadie deadpanned, “Be serious!”“I’m being honest, Ms. Wolfenden.”Kayson’s expression was utterly serious. “That’s what he said. But I didn’t agree to it immediately. Seth Jackson isn’t exactly a good man.”Sadie furrowed her brows. She was not buying what Kayson said at all and assumed that he was reluctant to tell her the truth, so she did not pursue it but asked, “How did you get acquainted with Mr. Jackson?”She had gotten a glimpse into the background and influence of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce when she went out with Sia. Sia did not seem to mind talking to her, so she told her a lot of things—including how the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce was linked to plenty of business tycoons. If outsiders were intending to break into Skyspring, it would be much more convenient with the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce’s help.“Oh, I beat his son up,” answered Kayson.Sadie rubbed between her brows, feeling an impending headache. “Can’t you be more serious?”‘Not like you’ll belie
Kayson was indifferent to it and replied firmly, “Mr. Pattingson, it’s not that I don’t want to make peace with the Cadogans. It’s that they won’t possibly make peace with me.“I have to give up on Sadie and family if I want peace with the Cadogans. That’s impossible.”No matter how much Kayson grumbled about it, his mentor, the person who had raised him, owed a favor to the Wolfendens. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would return the favor.Waylon advised, “Kayson, I can be the mediator and restrain both sides so the Cadogans won’t corner the Wolfendens…”“Do you think people would be willing to be oppressed for life, Mr. Pattingson?” Kayson asked instead.Waylon fell silent. Did he have to think about this question? Not at all! After a moment, he said, “If you meet other troubles, you can contact me. I’ll help you where I can.”Kayson understood what he meant and replied with a smile, “Okay.”Waylon was obviously withdrawing as well. The Cadogans were like a massive bo
“That’s it!”Waylon shook his head. “Such a waste of potential. If he hadn’t offended the Cadogans, he might have turned out to be the second Living Reaper…”It was a pity that destiny turned out this way!At Admiralporium…Taylor put his phone down with a glower and an angry snort.Channing snarled as well, “How dare Waylon Pattingson intervene in the Cadogan’s affair!?”Just moments earlier, his grandfather had called him to stop him from settling the score with Kayson this time. This meant that he had been beaten up for nothing—and without a channel to vent!Taylor commented darkly, “The old man’s at this age, yet he’s gotten silly this once… Listen to your grandfather first.“I’m sure Kayson won’t be able to hold back from getting into another conflict with us. Will Waylon dare clash with the Cadogans just for him?”Channing huffed viciously. “I certainly hope so. Then he’ll have to pay for it!”Jude, whose injuries were semi-recovered, sat on the side, scowling in silenc
