Could it be... that Anthony got caught up with something while making his way here?
He said nonchalantly, “Hmph. I’ll give the lot of you five more minutes to live. If you kneel and beg for my
forgiveness within these five minutes, perhaps I’ll spare your lives.”
Zeke replied, “Alright. I’m feeling rather charitable, so I’ll give you five more minutes.”
Soon, another five minutes went by.
It wasn’t just Anthony who hadn’t arrived; even the police were nowhere to be seen.
Dawn cupped a hand to her ear, pretending to listen attentively. “Why do I hear dogs barking? Oh, I know! That’s
because there are two dogs here who are all bark and no bite!”
Gavin and Henry’s faces were grim.
The latter felt that something was off. Hence, he fished out his phone and called Shawn Badley from the Bank
Regulatory Bureau to get the gist of the situation.
After exchanging simple pleasantries, Gavin cut to the chase. “Mr. Badley, haven’t your people recently been
monitoring for anomalies in Linton Group’s capital flow? I heard they’re in the firearms business, and the amount
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinvolved adds up to tens of billions!”
Shawn’s voice was indifferent as he responded, “Yes, Linton Group’s account has indeed been active as of recent,
and the turnover has reached ten billion. But that’s the result of the investment from the company’s venture
capitalist, Paul. It has nothing to do with that firearms business you’re going on about. I’m hanging up if there’s
nothing else.”
What!
Gavin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he trembled slightly.
Wasn’t the cash said to have been profited from a mercenary organization?
How did it end up coming from a venture capitalist named Paul?
A terrifying thought emerged in his mind. There’s a chance I’ve been fooled by Caleb Nolan!
Caleb might have even joined hands with Zeke Williams to f**k me over and defraud me of ten billion!
“Caleb Nolan, you m********ker!” Gavin was so enraged that he almost spewed blood as he hurled his phone onto
the ground.
Zeke asked, “What’s the matter? Weren’t you oh-so confident just a moment ago? What happened to all that big
talk?”
Gavin gnashed his teeth and glared at Zeke. “Williams, you sure have balls of steel to dare swindle Mr. Quin’s
money! Just you wait! This isn’t the end!”
With a grunt, he added, “Henry, let’s go.”
Henry was shocked.
He hadn’t heard their conversation over the phone, so he was oblivious to the actual situation.
Upon seeing Gavin admit defeat and leave like that, he was less than willing to do the same. “God-father, why are
we leaving just like that? Anthony will be here soon.”
“No, he won’t!” Gavin snapped. “Just follow me. Stop making a fool out of yourself!”
Henry’s heart instantly dropped to his stomach. Damn it! Something must have happened.
He quickly followed Gavin out.
“Zeke, aren’t you going to see them off?” Dawn quipped.
Zeke answered with a small smirk, “I guess I should.”
He kicked the chair next to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe chair skidded towards Henry at a high speed, slamming against the back of his knees.
The man fell back onto the chair before he knew what hit him.
Both he and the chair continued its forward momentum, hitting the back of Gavin’s knees.
In the end, the chair sent both of them barreling towards the wall opposite them.
One of Gavin’s teeth had fallen off from the impact, and he looked utterly miserable.
“Zeke Williams, I swear on my life that I will kill you...”
Zeke slammed the door shut and muttered, “Bunch of psychos!”
Lacey was still kept in the dark in regards to the current situation. “Yeah. Those two must’ve lost their minds.
Coming here to spout a load of crap just to leave with nothing! Well, unless they consider a good beating as
something? Just what were they hoping to achieve?”
Zeke and Dawn exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
Upon leaving Linton Group, Gavin dialed Caleb’s number. He gave the latter a good tongue-lashing that involved
some very artistic language.
“Damn you, Caleb Nolan! How dare you f*****g set me up? Do you have a death wish?”
