Sebastian glanced at Jake from afar. He could tell from their actions that they had come prepared."Gentlemen, I'm Sebastian Ballard, the owner of this pharmaceutical factory," he said, smiling. Jake eyed Sebastian and pretended to look surprised as he said, "Oh? Aren't you the consultant of Arctic Snow Group? My apologies for the disrespect." Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Bullen, you're too polite. Why did you bring so many people? Are you planning to smash up my factory?"Jake scoffed. "Rubbish! I'm here on a regular inspection. Get your permit and production license, and show me!"Sebastian glanced at his uniform and said, "Since when has the Department of Health been in charge of pharmaceutical factory permits?" "The FDA has the right to ask, surely?" Rory walked over to Sebastian, hands clasped behind his back. His gaze swept over him as he said coldly, "You must be this factory owner. Show us the permit!""Who are you?" Sebastian looked Rory up and down. "I'
Wasn't Sebastian only a consultant of Arctic Snow Group? Even if they did trample him to death, what could he do? After all, Rory had the support of the whole Gulliver family! Was there anything the Gullivers couldn't settle in Sartvale? Trey turned pale as he watched the permit being torn to shreds. He turned and ran toward the office, but someone stuck their foot out and sent him sprawling with a thump. He didn't even have time to turn back and see who had tripped him. He scrambled up from the ground and ran swiftly toward the office. He had taken the military permit from Fitz. Tearing up a military permit was a crime punishable by death. They could be shot dead! Trey did not dare to conceal it without reporting it. Rory watched Trey run off to the office. He grinned gleefully and said, "Did you see that? He was scared shitless! It must be a fake permit!" Jake glanced at the dazed Trey and was even more sure that the permit Sebastian had produced must be fake. "Sebastia
Jake trembled as he said, "I'm Jake Bullen from the Department of Health! We're just following orders.""Following orders? What orders and who gave them?" Fitz's cold gaze swept over Jake and Rory's faces. "We came to ch-check the permit," Jake said after mustering up the courage. "Haven't we given you the permit already? Why did you rough him up?" Fitz asked, looking thunderous.Trey had run over to tell him that something was happening with the pharmaceutical factory, but he hadn't been told that the permit had been torn up. "P-Permit? Where?" Rory had been so scared that his mind had gone blank. He had completely forgotten about what had happened. "It's… It's the one you tore up!" Trey said, panting. "What?" Fitz's expression suddenly changed. He looked down and noticed the torn pieces of paper on the ground and immediately became furious. Glaring at Jake and Rory, he yelled, "Tell me! Which bastard tore that up? Step forward!"Everyone jolted with fright and simultaneo
"Who the hell did this!" Fitz was furious. The equipment they had bought was all of extremely high quality, and they were very expensive. He had brought over so many soldiers not just to protect the factory but also to protect the shipment of equipment and ensure that it remained undamaged.The men who had taken part in smashing up the machines fell to their knees in fear at once. They wailed, "It has nothing to do with us! It was Mr. Bullen and Mr. Woodsen who made us smash it!""Splash him awake!" Fitz's eyes were bulging with anger, and he was breathing heavily.Two soldiers splashed a huge bucket of water on Rory's face. He shuddered and woke up. "Tell me honestly! Who told you to smash it up?" Fitz said, pointing to the equipment next to them.The newly-awaken Rory turned to look at the equipment behind him, and he hastily pointed at Jake. "It was Jake who gave the command to smash it! He even said that if anything big happened, he would take responsibility!"Jake was utt
"Yes, they've all been shot dead. Even the law enforcement team that went with them are all… all dead," his assistant said. Cold sweat was pouring off him like rain."Sebastian! How could he be so bold? Connect me to the may—"Before Marcel could finish speaking, Liam walked into his office with two military officers wearing the uniform of a major. There was also a man in a suit with a badge pinned to his chest."Are you Marcel Lyme?" Liam asked, his expression frosty. Marcel looked Liam and the others up and down and said, "Yes… I-I am. Who are you?"The man in the suit went up to him and said, "Hello, Mr. Lyme. I'm from the Investigation Department. There are some things I'd like to find out more about from you. Please come with us.""What? What do you want with me? I haven't made any mistakes, have I?" Marcel asked fearfully, trembling.He could not understand why they had come looking for him. Besides, what were the three officers behind him doing?Even if he had offended
"What did you say?" Marcel had assumed that the worst that could happen would be that he would be arrested and sentenced. However, when Liam said that someone would die, Marcel was aghast."After we've verified your actions, we'll execute you by gunshot within three days! This is an order from above!" Liam said and turned around. He didn't even want to look at Marcel again.Marcel burst into loud laughter as he wailed. "The Gullivers! Kelvin Gulliver! They were the ones who did this to me! Even if I become a ghost, I'll never forgive them!""Oh? Is this related to the Gullivers?" Liam asked impassively as he turned to look at Marcel. "Yes! It does have something to do with them!" Marcel wiped away the tear stains on his face and sobbed, "I'm willing to tell you everything I know. Can you please spare my life?"Liam shook his head slightly and sighed, saying, "A military order is as immovable as a mountain. However, if you behave well, we can hide your crimes from society so that
Rosalie glared at the security guard and picked up the scattered flowers from the ground.Although Rosalie had grown up in a wealthy family, she understood how difficult life was for those on the lowest rung of the social ladder. Anyone who had to sell flowers on the street on a festive day must be doing it because they were forced to do so and had no choice.It must be true for the little boy in front of them. He was so young, but he was helping his family share the burden of raising him. He was so thoughtful that it made their hearts ache."Exactly! You only need to chase him off. Did you have to hit him?" Whitney frowned, looking displeased.She had watched the rain pouring down outside while the unfortunate child was kicked to the ground by the security guard. His clothes were drenched!She hastily bent down and helped the little boy up."How dare you be so arrogant?" Zane said. He slapped the security guard before turning toward Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, please wait
The force of the bullet hitting Rosalie made her roll forward several feet. A pained expression flashed across her face, but even when she hit the ground, she was still pointing at the security guard behind Sebastian."Rosalie!" Sebastian roared. He shot forward and caught her in his arms. When he saw the red, flower-like bloodstain on the back of her snow-white coat, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by a thousand arrows.The security guard who had fired the gun looked shocked when he realized that he had not managed to kill Sebastian.By the time he pulled the trigger again, Sebastian seemed to disappear into thin air. Right after that, an agile figure appeared in front of the security guard. He tried to turn the gun, but Sebastian kicked him in the chest.The security guard barreled backward and crashed against the wall behind him, as if he was a bullet that had just been fired out of a gun.The crash made him feel as if his upper body had gone completely numb, but he
