Chapter 229 An Unresolvable Issue Between Two Sworn Enemies

Author: Nine Linked Rings
last update Last Updated: 2022-03-14 16:30:14
Javier was very familiar with the procedures the bank used to treat any staff members who made mistakes. They might not reward those who made contributions to the company all the time, but they would most definitely punish those who did something wrong.

This was not limited to just the bank’s system, but all other units.

Thus, the moment the vice president heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The reason he had been afraid of offending Roy previously was exactly because he was afraid the higher-ups would end up penalizing him if something were to go wrong.

In the end, he’d ended up offending an even bigger client, who caused him to suffer from so much fear that he almost felt his insides burn to cinders.

“Sir…Sir, let’s not do this, please. You’ll get me in a lot of trouble.”

Javier asked with a serious expression, “What’s it got to do with me, though?”

Javier then chuckled and walked back to Sally’s side. He picked up the cup of warm coffee once again. “Are yo

    The president had originally thought he could get away with offending neither Roy nor Javier and put an end to that entire situation. After all, if both parties could remain peaceful, he would reap the greatest benefits, which would be splendid. The worst-case scenario for him would be having to remove Javier from the equation rather than offend Millenia Supermarket.However, the president had never expected that Javier would suddenly say that he was going to put 300 million dollars in the bank as a fixed-term fund.Although it was not a fixed deposit, the president would still be able to enjoy a large increase in his sales target if he received these funds.At that moment, Roy said, “Do you think I’m incapable of bluffing? I’ll put 1.5 billion dollars in your bank then! After all, neither of us will be able to fork out the money!”The vice president took Roy’s side. “Exactly! I have the guts to declare such a thing as well in that case! I’ll put in 12 billion dollars!”Javier

    The president was now panicking because he was going to be in huge trouble the moment that complaint reached the top of the chain. The connections he had built up all those years ago had only reached the district branch at most. Plus, they were not that strong yet. So, if a complaint was reported directly to headquarters…Next to him, the vice president, who was his trusted right-hand man, was attempting to help the latter ease his worries.“Don’t listen to him, sir! He’s just bluffing! The head president only deals with major clients with billions or trillions of dollars or more. There’s no way he would possibly pay this little sh*t with those meager millions of dollars any mind! Don’t you worry, everything will be alright!”However, the president furiously scowled. “You know nothing!”‘He can fork out 600 million dollars with such ease, so don’t you think it would be extremely simple for him to have billions or even trillions of dollars to his name?!’Without paying the fat vi

    Javier was so domineering and powerful that he immediately gave the director of the district branch instructions.As unhappy as the director felt inside, he knew that Javier was literally an omnipotent man, so he just smiled away and followed along. As for Roy and Millenia Supermarket…the director thought they were free to get buried wherever they wanted, as the supermarket was nothing but a speck of dust in front of that omnipotent man! After putting on an act as he dealt with the entire situation, the director of the district branch made his final decision…Both the president and the vice president were fired, while Millenia Supermarket would be investigated because of their capital loan, which had not been processed according to the rules. Most importantly, and most unexpectedly, Sally was complimented for her professionalism, her passion for her job, and her good reputation by the director, who promoted her to acting president effective immediately.Sally was shocked sense

    ”Mr. Kersey says that everyone’s done a good job working the entire day in the office, so regardless of whether you’ve worked hard, done well, or closed sales, all of you will get annual bonuses. If you didn’t work as hard and you receive a lesser year-end bonus, others can’t be blamed.”Josh briefed everyone on the standards for the year-end bonus distribution as he stood in the center of the office work area.“There are four levels of year-end bonuses. Those who don’t work hard and dawdle will get 950 dollars.“The average person who met the company’s stated performance and followed our practices and policies will receive 9,500 dollars as a year-end bonus.“Excellent workers who performed well and were complimented two or more times will receive 95,000 dollars!“Those who contributed outstandingly and are irreplaceable in the company will receive 950,000 dollars!“Also, the year-end bonuses will be given out in cash on the spot…”When Josh announced all that, the whole office

    Javier could not help giving a thumbs-up in answer to Jade’s words.“Our Jade is really smart, eh? Tell me how you do it. You’re so beautiful and hot, and you’re intelligent. You’re really making me like you more.”Jade giggled. “Stop it. You’ve been fooling me with the same thing for more than half a year. I’m silly, so I believe it each time you say it and feel pleased about it.”Javier asked, “Do you still believe it now?”Jade answered shyly, “As long as it comes from my husband, I’ll always believe it. Forever…”Javier did have an ulterior motive for squashing Roy and helping Sally. Not only did he despise Roy, but he’d wanted to save Sally heroically so Clouston would know him.When Javier had chatted with Chad previously, they had agreed that Reivaj Group was expanding and required a walking business card. This so-called walking business card was the personal charisma of the company’s leader.Take Apple and Steve Jobs or Alibaba and Jack Ma for example. Once the company w

    ”Keep an eye out then. Better safe than sorry.”Javier furrowed his brows, not knowing if the person Ingrid had mentioned was targeting him. If that was the case, who had sent the person?The question remained unanswered. Of course, it was unanswered because Ingrid could not catch that person. The latter had only been roaming below their building. There was no reason for Ingrid to seize them, so this could only remain a mystery for now.Ultimately, Javier invited Ingrid to the island repeatedly, stating that they could get someone to check their place in detail when they returned, but the woman still rejected him.Seeing that she was firm about her decision, Javier said no more.“Ing, I have nothing else to say. Just let me know if there’s anything I can help with.”Ingrid spoke up lecherously. “I think there’s something you’d definitely be able to help with.”Javier waved his hands swiftly. “Uh, Ing, I have something to do. I’ll be heading upstairs!”Ingrid chuckled. She was j

    After Javier pondered it for a while, he decided to grant Luca that honor.“Hurry up and get your *ss over here right now! Bring whoever you wish.”Luca was not Chad, so he was in no position to negotiate with Javier.If Javier had not taken into consideration that Luca had tried to gain his favor and how much effort Luca’s father had put into Xerxes Village, Javier probably would not have made that phone call.Thus, the moment Luca received that phone call, he took Edelgard with him and rushed over there.“Did you want to see me about something, Javier?”Javier patted his shoulder. “It’s something so good that even your old man will yearn for it.”Aside from Luca, Edelgard, Lloyd, Carmen, Mary Jane, Chad, and his family, Javier even brought Sam with him.Sam did not even need to be called. He went up to Javier, saying that he was single and he wanted to share a meal with Javier.Since Sam had been recently helping Javier with his work, of course the latter would allow him to

    After the helicopters landed on the island, two luxurious Rolls Royce limousines drove over to welcome them.The first driver who arrived seemed to be a little unskilled and even ended up parking the car at a crooked angle.However, when the limousine’s door opened, everyone’s eyes sparkled, especially the eyes of Edelgard and Jade, the two beauties. When they saw the person who got out of the car, they somehow felt threatened, although not with ill intent. Instead, they felt like their beauty was severely challenged at that moment.Then, the beautiful woman who got out of the car ran over and threw herself into Javier’s arms like a fragrant gust of wind.“Javier, you’re back!”Javier stroked Ciara’s head and then told her, “Mary Jane’s here, so behave yourself.”Ciara giggled happily and stood before Mary Jane. Then, she wrapped her arms around Mary Jane’s neck and kissed her, leaving behind a pink lipstick stain. “I missed you, Aunt MJ. I’ve been dreaming about you every night.

    As Bernadetta launched a barrage of kicks against the restaurant door, Mrs. Greene summoned 120% of her strength, holding the fort. The older woman had made a living terrorizing others with absurd accusations and downright unreasonable demands, but this time, she had met her match. Bernadetta James put the “man” in the word “woman”—in that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greene’s apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three days’ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Then—“because I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,” according to Bernadetta—she amended the peace offer, changing the three days’ free meals to…a week’s worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. “I can’t thank you enough for standing by my side when I needed it the most, Bern. But I can thank you a bit more if you refrain from using t

    Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old lady’s lawn. “It’s him, officers! It’s all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! He’s the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!”She turned and trained her finger on Javier. “You vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!”‘Back at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!’ By this point in the morning, Bernadetta had arrived at work. Her heels clicked onto the floor as she sauntered toward the commotion. As soon as she heard what had transpired, she laughed, looking clearly amused. She trained her perfectly manicured finger on Javier and piled on. “Oh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greene’s bra because he is…the Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!” Javier threw his arms up in exasperation

    Javier shook his head. By the time his vision was back to normal, the dog was gone. It had escaped! “What kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!” Javier wondered to himself aloud. “Was this really an effect of the world changing? Is this an example of mutation because of the Storm? Or is there something else at play?”Baffled and unsure what to think, Javier returned to the dorm and told the residents to open the door. Inside, he found Florence huddling the frightened kids closely. She was white from fear, and yet in the presence of vulnerable kids, she had assumed the role of the protector without a second thought. “Hush, it’s alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet and…” Javier made up a fib to explain the haunting away exactly because the truth could land him in a mental institution. No one would believe him—and for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latter’s electric scooter was. While

    A resentful wail—interspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangled—was echoing in the middle of the night while Javier and Florence could not see even a single soul out there? Animated by the power of “hell, naw!”, Florence dove into Javier’s arms for protection. Her hands were clasped firmly on either side of her head, hoping to block out the ghastly demand in her ears. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that even a crowbar could not pry them open.Javier himself was just as terrified. He would have felt better if he could see the source of the voice rather than just hear a woman sobbing about getting her head back. At least he would know what he was up against! But just hearing it without any visuals at all?! Nooooope!Then, Florence hugged him in a “help-me!” sort of way. She was soft and supple—damn, that sexy figure in combination with her silky-smooth skin sure was welcoming. She was warm, and damn did she smell good! Nothing competed with fea

    The dog barked in protest as it pointed its paw at Javier with the intensity of a mob before executing a monarch. The flames in its eyes were so bright that they could incinerate Javier into ashes in milliseconds. In the end, though, all that protest was for naught. Constance tied it up in the parking garage, while Javier watched in glee. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge! The stupid dog had thought it could set him up, had it? That would teach it!The look the Pomeranian shot him almost felt like a threat: ‘Just you f*cking wait, hooman!’‘Wait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?’ Javier scoffed in his mind. Now that the four-legged pest was gone, Javier turned back to Constance and talked about the new orphanage. As it turned out, despite the old woman’s sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. “I mean, I don’t object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, but…” She faltered a

    Florence called half an hour later to tell him where they’d be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadetta’s care, he hurried to the venue. Florence had picked a newly-opened Yuzuian restaurant. Javier had never liked Yuzuian restaurants, but since Florence had invited him, courtesy stopped him from asking the woman to change their meeting venue. He found Florence quickly enough and sat across from her. They placed their orders, and Javier began his performance: He started sighing and doing his best to look forlorn. It intrigued Florence enough to ask what was wrong, and Javier told her about his unfortunate beef with Constance that day.“It’s so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?” he moaned. “I’m sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. You’re a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? I’m sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dog’s welfare to think things through. She didn’t mean it. I can vouch for

    Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensemble—black leather shoes, black slacks, a white collar, and last but not least, the good old oil-slicked hair. The typical look of a high-ranking office worker, just as Javier had requested. Ordering him to get in his car, Javier asked, “You brought all the stuff I told you to?”“Yo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. I’ve got all the preparations down pat. You can check ‘em if you don’t trust me,” Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. “See? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.”After a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. “Boss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that you’re gonna call me ‘boss’ while you’re there?”Javier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It

    Javier’s suspicion turned to Constance Hellman’s white Pomeranian. He turned to the director’s office and met the dog’s eyes. With its paws on the windowsill, it hoisted itself up to look out of the window. Seeing the dog cracking a lopsided grin and baring its fangs—beaming as smugly as a teacher’s pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the boss’s favorite—made it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javier’s gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, ‘I’m just your average dog! Nothing to see here!’And then it feigned—yes, feigned—a yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. ‘What. The. Actual. F*ck?!’ Javier thundered in his mind. ‘B*tch’s a natural actress! What’s it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?’In combination with Russell’s report, the incident inside the director’s of

    As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.“Oh, baby, what’s the matter? Did you hurt your leg?”The white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constance’s concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. “Mr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I can’t help doubting your motive now.“I’m skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when you’d even hit a cute dog!”Javier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, “Madam Hellman, I didn’t do anything!”Constance asked angrily, “You didn’t do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!”Javier was in distress as well. “How would I know? It was fine when I was carrying it just now, but it wanted to get down on the floor, so I carefully placed
