“Is that so?” Caleb said with a slightly apologetic tone. “Mr. Zachary, you should have reminded me before
everything. I was under the impression that your main target was Linton Group. What about this? Mr. Zachary, if
you transfer another two billion, I’ll get my boss to personally talk to the National Security Service and ensure that
Zeke Williams dies painfully and tragically.”
“You need more money?” Gavin asked in anger.
“Mr. Zachary, please make a decision as soon as possible. We’re running out of time,” Caleb said.
Henry started pleading, “God-father, no matter how much money it takes, Zeke Williams must die. If needed, I’ll- I’ll
agree to your previous proposition.”
Gavin glared at Henry before gritting his teeth. “Okay. I’ll transfer the money instantly.”
Caleb replied, “Nice. In half an hour, you can drop by to collect the bodies of Zeke Williams and Lacey Hinton.”
After hanging up, Gavin walked out. “Come on, Henry. We’re going to Linton Group. I want to see Zeke Williams and

“Okay, sure!” Henry followed hurriedly, holding onto Gavin’s arm. “God-father, you’re the best!”
In about twenty minutes, the two of them had reached the Linton Group.
There were only ten more minutes until the time Caleb had claimed they could watch Zeke and Lacey die.
In the CEO’s office, Lacey was nagging at Zeke and Dawn. “Where did you two run off to? The company needs all
the help we can get right now. Oh, right, Dawnie, have you contacted Paul Venture Capitalist yet?”
Dawn quickly replied, “Yup. He said the money was entered into the wrong account by accident, and that it was
sent to us. However, they’re too lazy to go through with the procedure to take the money back because it’s
apparently too much of a hassle. That’s why they’re investing it in us.”
Lacey nodded, seemingly in deep thought. “As expected, a business of their size is pretty generous. They barely
even see 1.5 billion as money.”
At that very moment, the door was kicked open. Henry and Gavin walked in as they laughed maniacally. They sat
down as if they owned the place.
“Ms. Hinton! I hope you’re doing well,” Gavin scoffed.
Lacey’s expression was cold. “Who let you two in? Get out.”
Gavin smirked. “As the CEO of this company, you have absolutely zero manners. You deserve to be shut down.
Henry, how much longer do they have?”
“Five minutes,” Henry replied.
“Then we’ll wait patiently for another five minutes,” Gavin said in glee.
Lacey was confused. “What are you two going on about?”
“Are you really stupid or are you pretending?” Gavin rolled his eyes. “Linton Group has been involved in illegal
dealing of military weaponry. You’ve already caught the attention of the National Security Service.”
“Liar,” Lacey said. “Military weaponry is an absolute red zone law-wise in Eurasia. We wouldn’t just set ourselves up
for failure. Don’t try to frame us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGavin just replied, “We’ll see whether that’s true or false in five more minutes.”
Lacey tried to say something, but Zeke cut her off. “Lacey, ignore them. These two lunatics forgot to take their
medicine today. Just do what you need to do.”
Lacey stammered, “But-”
Zeke soothed, “Just trust me.”
Gavin cursed loudly. “F*ck, I can’t believe you two are going all mushy in front of us even at a time like this. The
nerve you two have!”
Zeke smirked coldly as he looked at Gavin. “Has your face been feeling a little lonely recently?”
Gavin was pissed, but he didn’t dare say anything else.
Even until now, his face was still hurting.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Zeke teased, “It’s been five minutes. Where’s all the action you two were speaking of just now? If nothing happens,
or you can’t explain yourselves, I’ll just act as if whatever you two just said is plain trash.”
Henry and Gavin frowned.
Time was up. Why hasn’t anything happened yet?”
