The third day after what had happened in the abandoned warehouse, both sides of the world clamored at the news. Everyone knew what had happened to Saul—his limbs were broken, and his sight, sense of hearing, and taste were all gone.What that meant was that the organs responsible for those functions were gone too. The man had survived without much of an issue, but he was as good as a goner.His lover had taken his money and fled, his wife had gone abroad with his kid, and his “bros” had shared the territories that had once belonged to him. Rumor had it that all this had happened because of Chessie. The latter had been shot and Saul had been made obsolete. This was worse than death itself because Saul did not even have the right to die now. If he wanted to jump off a building or jump into a river, he would not know where either of them was because he could not see. If he wanted to find out what was going on in the world, his eardrums were busted and he could not hear a sound. He c
Javier stayed by Chessie’s side for the following half a month. It put a blissful smile on Chessie’s face every day, as she was very happy about it.That did not mean Javier was free for the time being, though, as he instructed Herschel and GTR to take Chessie’s men along and wreck Saul’s previous territories. Anyone who was disobedient and chose to resist would be taken care of properly.Worried about the insufficient manpower, Javier called Mackenzie and authorized Herschel to deploy the mercenaries anytime he needed them. Javier was determined to take over the territories that had made Chessie bleed—even if he had to deploy the mercenaries.In fact, the mercenaries did not have the chance to show themselves. To Herschel, who had been to war, taking over these territories was a piece of cake. Although there was a lack of manpower, Herschel did not use his recently acquired right to deploy the mercenaries.He had chosen to get some men from Sam’s new security company, as he wanted
“Design adjustment at a later stage will still be required. We want to make a racing car and compete with other race cars. It’ll be a Chinean general and make our name known in all racetracks. It’ll no doubt be of great help to our brand.“That engine, which will go through special tuning, will be the presence that spreads your name, Professor Jepson.”Liam was overjoyed. At his age, wealth was no longer an issue. He was only after fame. He would think that this was a life worth living if the car’s propulsion system ended up dazzling the world, like Mazda’s rotary engine back then.“Don’t worry, Mr. Kersey. I’ll tune this engine carefully, and the lower-power version will limit the consumption and fully follow the safety standards for family sedans. The hydrogen consumption will be decreased alongside its horsepower. The higher-power version will be adjusted to the top specs model with the best-matched power, under the condition that safety is guaranteed.“The sports version will u
That night, Javier talked to Quinna as they had dinner at a hotel outside. Solutions were found for many issues. Basically, everything was done to make sure that the brand, Chinean, could enter the market as soon as possible.After the meal, both of them left the hotel. Quinna drove while Javier sat in the passenger seat with his head turned to watch her. Her delicate little face was beautiful, so beautiful that it was mesmerizing and it made one feel infinitely fond of her just by looking at her.Javier asked, “Quinna, why are you so pretty? Why can’t I get tired of looking at you?”Quinna, who was driving, blushed when she suddenly heard the flirty question. What surged in her after that, however, was uncontrollable delight.The indirect compliment got to her easier and felt realer compared to someone explicitly calling her beautiful. She did not want to answer the question, nor could she, but she tried asking after Jade surfaced in her mind, “Am I prettier, or is Jade?”Javier
The trial car was a success. The adjustment and tuning of various aspects were also completed. They were getting closer to mass-producing it.For a big name like Heisenberg Group, submitting a mass production application to the relevant bureaucracy departments was naturally not a problem. Everything else was ready too, including packages of accessories from other businesses.In short, things were going smoothly. They were only waiting for the production line of the car to start and they would be able to mass-manufacture the car.It was at that point in time that another industry-related piece of news that did not seem serious broke out. It was reported that there was excessive formaldehyde found inside cars manufactured by a certain automobile company, and the investigation went all the way to the car dashboards. This meant that the dashboards already had excessive formaldehyde when they had been loaded into the factory and installed in the cars, which caused the cars to fail the fo
‘Graham’s been hospitalized?!’When Javier looked into the matter, he found out that Graham had been assaulted.But since only the hospital had been called, they had seen nobody else on the scene aside from Graham when they’d rushed over there after getting a call. Thus, they were not too clear on who the perpetrators were. After hanging up the phone call, Javier asked Quinna for her car keys. Quinna’s heart had already sunk the moment she had found out that Graham had been assaulted. She was now silently thinking to herself that it probably had something to do with the sun visor. After all, Graham was the one who had found out about the matter. On top of that, the hospital Graham had been admitted into was in the same area as Visteon Group, the plastic parts manufacturer. Following Javier closely, Quinna got in the car as well. “I know the roads around here. I’ll show you where to go.”Javier immediately started the car and sped off.He had driven what was supposedly a pre
Nobody could argue against Barry at all. The sun visors that he was producing at the moment were not for Heisenberg Group. Plus, there were no major issues with his production flow, and the finished products did not exceed the set standards. Although Barry’s warehouse was completely empty, he then explained that he had already had all his parts delivered to his overseas automobile clients, leaving Javier and Quinna with no way of investigating the matter. This was a typical case of the police apprehending the perpetrator without having any evidence to charge him. Most importantly, the perpetrator was gloating. Quinna’s face turned pale. However, the fact of the matter was that Heisenberg Group had a contract with Visteon Group, so without any evidence, there was nothing she could do to Barry.“Are you not going to stay for lunch, Miss Aurum? In that case, have a safe trip. I’ll see you later…”Barry was gloating over the top of his head. He seemed like an easy person to get a
Without a doubt, Barry was a rather good schemer. He had prepared two sets of equipment, one according to the standards and one that was subpar. The one that was according to the standards would be used to produce samples, which seemed very successful and would make everyone happy. However, in actual fact, that set was not going to be used during mass production. This was the equivalent of a 20-year-old car that could still move about after some small repairs. However, it would for sure be a lost cause should it travel long distances. On the other hand, the set that ran “long distances” for Barry was the subpar set. After all, so long as they were able to go through their customer’s quality inspection, nobody within the factory would check it again. On top of that, it would be packaged when it was done, so there would not be a smell. However, what Barry had not expected at the time was that someone even more meticulous would end up exposing his schemes.If it were not for
