Just when Harry was about to say something, someone entered the office. His face was pale, and he seemed nervous.Harry turned his head around, and his face sank. He looked at the man and reprimanded him coldly, “Mr. Patterson, what are you doing here?”Ridley‘s face was filled with fear as he got to his knees in front of them. He bawled his eyes out as he said, “Mr. Pether, you’ve got to save me!”Harry’s expression changed. He scrunched his face in disgust and took a step back. “What are you doing, Mr. Patterson?”Ridley’s eyes were filled with fear at the rims as he said in a shaky voice, “Mr. Pether, I won't be able to work in herbal supply anymore! Someone has cut off my source of herbs!”Harry’s pupils constricted as he shouted, “Stop making this kind of joke, Ridley! It isn’t funny at all!” Ridley continued. “I wasn’t making a joke, Mr. Pether. I couldn’t get the herbs today. Those farmers refuse to give me any herbs…”Harry’s body shuddered. There was a buzz in his head
At Onespring Real Estate Development & Construction Co…After Beckham joined them with his crew, the entire company was brimming with energy. Christine worked her best to learn as many things as possible before going to rest.At the same time, Eira came inside and said sternly, “Ms. Locke, something bad happened. Some people came over and said that there were problems with our company's documents and asked us to shut down our business for rectification.”Christine was stunned. However, she was still able to keep her calm and asked, “Has Mr. Yoder talked to them already?”Eira replied worriedly, “Mr. Yoder is talking to them now, but they refuse to budge.” Christine’s face sank, and she said, “Let me go and have a look.”Both of them left the office and came to the meeting room.Beckham’s face was dark, but the group of men in black suits had indifferent expressions on their faces.“Gentlemen, can you tell me what’s wrong with our company’s documents?” Beckham asked, his voic
“Stop them, just don’t hurt them.”“Alright…”Eira felt relieved after she hung up the call. She returned to the meeting room and made her way to Christine to update her. Christine’s eyes lit up, and she said, “Since you are telling us that there are some procedural issues with the company, please stay and help us. We will bring over all the documents. Can you please explain to us which parts of our documents are flawed? Will that be alright?”The leader of the government officials named Casey Jean sized up Christine, his eyes radiating a wanton glint.He said in a teasing tone, “Sure! You’re the general manager, right? You can come with me and show me the documents then!”…Kayson hung up the call.Next to him, Warren asked, “What’s going on, Kayson?”Kayson answered, “There are some small issues with my construction company, and the government officials in charge of this area dropped by the company.”Then, he called Jeremy, but his call was not picked up. He realized somet
In order to buy time, Christine brought over all the procedural documents of the company. Casey sized up Christine’s petite yet voluptuous figure with his perverted gaze. Even though Christine was extremely displeased, she put up with it to buy time. She had no idea how Kayson was planning on dealing with this man, but she and Beckham understood very well that the company could not afford to offend Casey. Otherwise, this man would drop by the company frequently and make things difficult for them later in the technical audit phase. If that were the case, they would not be able to launch their projects by then.Casey was not an influential figure, so he was supposed to show some respect to Beckham. Yet, he refused to show any respect to Beckham. This signified that Casey was encouraged by a very powerful backer.This made Christine feel slightly uneasy in her heart. She wondered what sort of powerful backer could embolden a trivial character like Casey so much that he refused to
Casey’s expression changed dramatically upon noticing the situation. He pointed at her and said in a stern voice, “You ungrateful wench! Since all of you wish to die so badly, I shall fulfill your wish!”Meanwhile, the boardroom’s door was blasted open by force, and Kayson walked into the room with long strides. He looked toward Casey and said nonchalantly, “Who did you say you’re going to kill?”Christine turned around abruptly and felt instantly relieved when she saw Kaysson was there. After all, the company belonged to Kayson, and she did not wish anything bad to happen to it.Hence, she showed her humility when she was dealing with these people. A slightly resentful gaze emerged on Christine’s face with light makeup on. “Boss, I was truly afraid that I wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure if you still didn’t show up.”Kayson was rendered speechless. He said, “You’re a skilled fighter, yet you are scared of him?”Christine said in frustration, “I didn’t dare to fight
Kayson said with a calm expression, “I know. Don’t worry about that. These people are coming for me.”Beckham’s expression was solemn, and he appeared even more worried. “Mr. Yarde, do you know which influential figure or family from Metrocity it is specifically?”“Ah, I know. It’s the Cadogans from Metrocity.”Beckham and Christine’s expressions changed drastically in unison at once. “The Cadogans… from Metrocity?”Both of them were rendered speechless from fear.Christine’s face turned ghastly pale when she said, “H-How did you offend the Cadogans from Metrocity? You’ve truly broken the limits of mankind!”Beckham also said in a fearful tone, “The Cadogans from Metrocity… Mr. Yarde, we’re in deep trouble! Even though the Cadogans are based in Metrocity, they’re immensely powerful.“They can still affect our business in Skyspring despite being miles away!”Kayson smiled and said casually, “You will only need to manage the company’s operations. I will deal with the Cadogans f
Taylor had very little experience interacting with body practitioners, yet he had heard about Steelification Doyen’s grand reputation. He figured that Steelification Doyen’s reputation must not be so unworthy, right?Noticing Taylor’s disbelief, Abel smiled nonchalantly and said, “Master Steele, Patrol Yost is not a body practitioner, so why don’t you show him the power of Steel Screen?”Tegan, who looked to be a little over 50 years old, stood up. Taylor’s expression changed ever so slightly. He had experience fighting against Kayson, so he believed that he had a right to comment on Kayson’s capability. On the other hand, Tegan was a newly-recruited skilled fighter of the Cadogans, whom he had never heard of before.The Steel Screen’s reputation was widely-known, but he had never encountered skilled fighters trained in the Steel Screen. As such, he had no idea how powerful they could be.“Alright, I shall give it a try then!”Taylor did not reject the offer. Both of them arri
As soon as Taylor’s voice died away, Drake came running to them, his face ghastly pale. “Patrol Yost, Mr. Cadogan, Warren… Chief Kline and the others are back!”Drake’s expression was filled with fear and panic. Randall had told him that Warren was doomed after being encircled by many warlords.Yet, he did not expect that Randall would be beaten to death by Kayson not long after his return. On the other hand, Warren returned safely, while Chase and Ruby were fine as well.If that were the case, he was certain that he would be taken out as well in view of being Randall’s trusted subordinate!Drake remained panic-stricken. So what if the Cadogans were involved? Taylor and the Cadogans could walk away without any responsibility at any moment. How about him? He would still need to continue to hold his post in Admiralporium!Meanwhile, three figures with overbearing auras appeared before Abel and the others.The leading person was precisely Warren.Warren glanced at Drake before
