After leaving the office, Javier drove over to the Dunham Group. At the same time, Zayn was seated in his office, soaking in his underlings’ obsequious praises and bootlicking.“Mr. Dunham is young and brilliant. He’s the most successful one among all the young people I know.”“That…what’s the name? Reivaj Group doesn’t even know who they’re messing with. How dare they declare war against the Dunham Group. I think they’re on a suicide mission. Especially that Javier Kersey. Who does he think he is to fight our dear Mr. Dunham. He’s not even qualified to do such a thing, that piece of sh*t!”“It’s interesting how he dares pick a fight against Mr. Dunham. Reivaj Group doesn’t even have 7.8 million dollars in total assets. What does he have to fight Mr. Dunham with? Any subsidiary that Mr. Dunham casually appoints would kick him in the *ss…”The employees chorused each other as they clamored to pander to Zayn, the heir of the company. The apple polishing worked well on Zayn as he even
This meant that Zayn would be enjoying a “marvelous” treat when he was put behind bars. Once he thought of it, he felt shivers down his spine and could not help shuddering. Zayn was scared. Not wanting that to happen, he told Javier, “Buddy, let’s negotiate, hmm? I can give you some of it perhaps? They belong to Odello Corp. after all. We can split 70-30 between me and you, or even just 60 for me and 40 for you!”At the man’s reaction, Javier was rendered speechless. He would rather lose his freedom than his wealth.“Sure, that’s all to it then since you can’t wait to go to jail!”Zayn stopped Javier again when he expressed that he was leaving and begged him. He then said that it was not his decision to make and had to ask his father, the chairman of The Dunham Group. Leaving Javier in the office, Zayn hurried to his father, Geoffrey Dunham’s office. Geoffrey, who was going through some documents, asked when he saw Zayn entering, “You’re not in your office—”He did not get to c
The subsidiary companies under the ex-Odello Corp. were returned. The compensation of 12.599 million dollars was banked in as well. When everything was settled, Javier got up to leave.The lawyer would not have it and went after him for the original documents.“Why are you in such a hurry for the originals? Come collect them at my company later this afternoon when the handover is complete. Do you think I’ll run?”Javier left with that.Looking at the leaving Javier whose pockets were now loaded, Zayn felt like choking the lawyer to death. He would have done it too if the man had not immediately fled.Hurrying out of his office, Zayn barged into Geoffrey’s office. “Dad, how could you promise him all that?!”“You don’t understand.”Geoffrey waved for Zayn to come closer. Zayn leaned in and the father-son pair had a hushed conversation. At the end of it, Zayn cracked a smile.Javier had just arrived upstairs after driving back to the company when Jade frantically jogged up to him.
Zayn was dumbfounded at the lawyer’s words.He had wanted to keep the thumb drive himself, but Geoffrey, thinking that Zayn was too flippant and impatient, passed it to the lawyer who was reliable and mature in his way of handling things.What was happening now was entirely unexpected. They had lost the thumb drive!“What the f*ck are you doing?! Are you an idiot?! How could you lose the thumb drive when it’s not even that small! Why didn’t you lose yourself…”Zayn broke out in a flurry of curses and put the lawyer in an incredibly awkward spot. The latter was still confused. The thumb drive had clearly still been in his pants pocket when he got out of the car. When did he lose it?As the lawyer thought about it, he was struck with a sudden realization.When they took the elevator up earlier, a worker sending water dispenser refills had accidentally bumped into him. He had even grumbled about the worker dirtying his white shirt and hastily dusted himself off…Recalling the scene
Javier was a principled man who would usually not play the same trick twice, but it really depended on the situation. Since the Dunham Group wanted to play, he would certainly play along.Ultimately, Zayn and his lawyer bitterly paid another 12.599 million dollars and carried a stack of photocopy documents out. Zayn was still running his mouth when he got into the car, saying that Javier was not credible as he had said the first set he had given them was the last. But now they were walking out with a thick stack of photocopiesNo one knew whether Javier still had more. They could only act cautiously in the future…After transferring all the money he had received to the company account, Javier threw the last set of evidence he had into the paper shredder.Herschel asked from the side, “Mr. Kersey, aren’t you scared that he’ll come to find trouble with you again?”Javier chuckled. “Let him. No matter how much trouble he tries to pick, I have as many ways to handle him. We’ll see if
Although Zayn had now managed to lure Doug into his scheme, he was now faced with another problem... This idiot will be easy to fool. But if Javier joins his side, things will certainly become tricky.‘Looking at the tiff between Javier and me, it’d be a miracle if he actually decides to sell to me. He’ll probably take the chance to raise his selling price.’Zayn carefully pondered over this matter after leaving the restaurant and arriving back in his office chair. ‘Based on the Darton Group’s capabilities, it’s not difficult for me to understand what the “order from the higher-ups” is. Plus, there are other players in the competition, so fossil fuel businesses will definitely be selling like hotcakes.‘Now then, it’ll be impossible for me to approach Javier directly and have him sell it to me, but what if I had someone else do it for me instead?’On top of that, Zayn also wanted to find out exactly how much the Darton Group was willing to fork out for this particular fossil fu
“I admire your sincerity and your ambition…All right then, you’ve got yourself a deal! The fossil fuel company is yours!”Javier’s sudden agreement had the excited Kaecilius jumping in joy, his eyes shining with delight. In fact, he was genuinely delighted because Zayn had promised to pay him 300 thousand dollars should he successfully get Javier to sell him the plant.The handover took place immediately that very afternoon. Meanwhile, Zayn was only able to release such a huge amount of funds because he had given Geoffrey his assurance over and over again. After that, Zayn gathered a few staff from his finance department and hurried to the fossil fuel plant. Now that the handover was already in progress, Zayn had no more reason to hide the fact that he was the real buyer. Thus, he directly met up with Kaecilius. “Haha! As expected of my best friend! You’ve really helped me out big time, Kaecilius. Thank you!” When Zayn spotted Kaecilius, he immediately rushed up and embraced hi
Of course, Zayn had no intention of losing another 300 thousand dollars on top of 12 million. Surrounded by bottles of easy-to-open beers, he drank himself into a stupor as he mumbled…“Best friend my *ss! Money is the only thing worthy enough of being my best friend!“Kaecilius is no longer my best friend, he can go f*ck himself!”As Zayn was angrily drowning himself in alcohol, Javier had just arrived home. When Jade heard that he had sold the fossil fuel plant for 49.5 million, she once again looked at him with reverence as though he was a god.“Javier Kersey, are you even human? You seem more like a god right now…no…you’re the God amongst gods!” Nonstop strange exclamations streamed out of Jade's mouth. She could not for the life of her believe that Javier had been able to get rid of the tumor that she was so ready to cut away despite it being a loss. And Javier had not only managed to get rid of it, but he also did so with such grandiose!“You’ve managed to earn 12 mill
