Sean reached Zayn’s office and stopped in front of his door. After some careful thought, he knocked on the door.A while later, Zayn’s voice boomed from the other side. “Come in.”The man inside watched his guest, a grim expression plaguing his features. “What’s wrong? Do you doubt me too?” he pointed out with a smile.Sean was surprisingly candid about his intentions. “Oh, I wouldn’t dare doubt you,” he replied with a mirthless smile. “But you have to forgive me for being too dense to understand the direction that you’re bringing the company towards.”Zayn put down his work and looked Sean in the face. “Do you know what immediately followed Pax Romana? The Fall of the Roman Empire, of course! You know how these things rise and fall. On the surface, Violet Vision’s growth is unhindered by any threats and should therefore continue to grow, but everything has a set height. Cross it, and the only way to go is down,” he explained. “Violet Vision has grown too much this year. Its size h
With these challenges, it was a small wonder that security companies ended up being the game few capitalists would indulge. It was also the biggest reason behind Sean’s worries.Of course Zayn knew all about his apprehension. With a smile, he said, “I didn’t plan to start a big firm right from the get-go, though. Just thought of training a detail of premium bodyguards to protect those close to me, and then slowly increase the investment as it progresses in its size and service.”Sean nodded approvingly. If this was the system that they were implementing, then maybe it deserved a try.One last problem was left tormenting him, though. “Sir, from what I've gathered, it’s customary for every security company in this part of the country to pay the top-dogs a special visit—get on their good sides, basically.”“Sorry, what?” Zayn was a little taken aback. What was this, some sort of holdover from medieval feudalism?Sean, on the other hand, merely nodded solemnly. “It’s true, sir. See, w
Sean still wanted to talk Zayn out of the idea, but he could see that Zayn was already determined to do this. As a result, he did not speak out of line anymore. As Zayn’s subordinate, he had already performed his duty and had a sense of propriety to know when to stop too. After Sean left, Zayn rifled through the document in his hand regarding the Northmob Council and muttered to himself softly, “Oh, Northmob Council, Northmob Council, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”His eyes were glistening brilliantly. …Yvonne Keller had been feeling dejected recently, failing to find enthusiasm in anything she did. It had already been six months since she joined Violet Vision Media Corp, but she managed to encounter Zayn only a handful of times. Even if she did manage to get a promotion with two pay raises within six months by relying on her beauty and capability, she was still far from achieving her goal. She joined Violet Vision Media Corp with the goal of seducing Zayn into having an ill
Zayn, who was walking out of the building with Sean and a few other administrative officers, heard Yvonne’s call. He was stunned for a moment because he had almost forgotten about her. It was after office hours coincidentally, and there were many staff leaving work. They heard Yvonne exclaim, so they shifted their attention to her. They were even more shocked by the sight of Sean and the other administrative officers. Yvonne was in a delightful mood as soon as she saw Zayn. The agitation that she felt due to Hunter earlier vanished into nothingness as well. She beelined to him at her fastest speed. However, she realized that she could not bring herself to speak when Zayn was looking at her. Her heart was racing, and she was extremely nervous. Sean immediately furrowed his brows. He was obviously displeased when he said, “Which department is this staff from? That’s so rude of her.”“Mr. Wilson, I’m sorry. This is my subordinate, and I shall penalize her accordingly at once.” A mi
Zayn’s remark stirred up a great clamor at once!Many white-collar workers in Waltz City could not even make 30 thousand dollars in annual wage. Was this bumpkin cousin of Yvonne worth the price?Everyone widened their mouths in surprise including Yvonne. They were staring at Zayn in bewilderment. In fact, she even assumed that she was delusional. Why would Zayn actually spend 30 thousand dollars of his annual wage to hire someone like Hunter? One should know that her salary at Violet Vision was not even 30 thousand dollars. In addition to that, why would Zayn hire Hunter? Was it to make Hunter his bodyguard? Hunter was only skilled in fighting but possessed no other skills. Sean reacted most swiftly. He was astounded for a moment, then he immediately figured out Zayn’s intention. Hunter was stunned for a moment as well before he shook his head and said, “I’m here to take care of my cousin, not to make a profit off your filthy money…Ouch, Yvonne, why did you hit me?”Yvonne wa
“Sir, are you really looking into hiring that idiot from earlier?” asked Sean in puzzlement after they got into the car. Zayn nodded and said, “Hmm. Hunter is a talent worth cultivating.”Sean replied in slight concern, “I can see that this lad isn’t mentally stable. I’m worried that he will only make things worse then.”“That won’t happen. As long as he is working for me, he won’t get in trouble,” Zayn said confidently.Sean could not figure out why Zayn would have such rocketing confidence. In his point of view, a stubborn man like Hunter could not be bought over with money. Of course, Sean would not be worried anymore if he had known that Zayn was now a master fighter. In the next three days, Sean utilized his connections and found quite a few retired special forces soldiers and skilled fighters apart from roping in some bodyguards. “Allow me to introduce everyone. This is the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp and he is also the employer who hired you,” Sean pointed at Z
There were not many experts amongst the people that Sean brought over, and the probability of success for the visit the next day was not very high even with all of them combined. However, it was fine for Zayn because he was not counting on them. He claimed to be bringing this group of people to pay a visit, yet in truth, he was the only person who would be playing a role. He chose to do this only because he wanted to put up a front. Those people looked at one another and they were interested. A few of them, who were relatively hot-tempered and very confident about their skills, stepped forward to sign the contract. A man declared loudly, “Sir, I’m going to work for you! I’m going to beat them up tomorrow for sure when we pay the top dogs a visit tomorrow! To hell with that b*llsh*t Northmob Council. I don’t give a f*ck about it!”He was a fighter trained in Hercion Kickboxing with a minor in Achillean Boxing. He was around 40 years old and had a pair of huge eyes while thick hai
In his perception, Zayn would not even be able to withstand one punch from him due to the latter’s skinny figure.So what if Zayn was rich? He did not train to be powerful, so he was just a piece of trash. Hunter did not have respect for Zayn from the bottom of his heart. He was the type of person who put his whole heart into martial arts and regarded money as unrealistic things while martial arts was the noblest of all. Hunter wanted to fight Zayn but abandoned the idea after seeing all the skilled fighters around him. Even if he was powerful, he would not have the courage to act so recklessly as to go up against so many skilled fighters solo. He considered it for a moment before he turned around and said, “30 thousand dollars is too little. I’m a black-belt Hercion Kickboxing master, after all, thus you have to give me a raise.”Zayn had already seen through Hunter’s thoughts since the start, and he found the man amusing. He said, “I will be taking my people to pay the Northm
