“Do it then if you’re that capable! I’d like to see how powerful you actually are,” Yvonne snarled, eyes blazing with hatred for the man in front of her.
“Alright, don’t think I’ll forget the both of you! I’ll make you two pay once my identity is confirmed!” Wyatt was a little dizzy at that point, so he could not do anything else even if he wanted to. He glared at them, then left the building quickly.
In the CEO’s office, Wendy and Yvonne stared at each other blankly—they never thought that something like this could happen.
“Miss Xavier, what happened? Where’s Mr. York? Did something happen to him?”
Wendy was worried sick; Harvey had been absent for the past few days, then suddenly a new CEO had been elected. Was Harvey safe?
“The CEO should be fine,” Yvonne said hesitantly. She quickly dialed Harvey’s phone, but he didn’t pick up.
“What should we do?” Wendy started panicking.
Yvonne inhaled deeply, forcing herself to calm down. “Come on, let’s get out of the office for now. We’ll go to my apartment, it’s safer there. I’ll try to contact Mr. York before doing anything else.”
…
Niumhi outskirts.
Harvey York’s Porsche stopped at the side of the road. Harvey got out of the car casually and lit a cigarette. He waited until he had finished smoking half of it before he called out, “Come out already, what’s the point of hiding?”
There were rustling noises around him, then seven or eight men with metal pipes stepped out of the shadows. They were clearly foreigners.
Harvey smiled slightly. “You must be gangsters. I assume you’re from the provincial capital?”
“What if we are?”A bald man who was leading the gangsters chuckled coldly. “It doesn’t matter where we came from, you only need to know one thing: we’re here to kill you. Are you going to off yourself or do you want us to do it for you?”
“You’ll finish me off?” Harvey threw back his head and laughed. “Listen, I’ll give you lot a chance—if you scram right now, I’ll let this slide. How does that sound?”
“Damn, Boss, is this guy crazy? He’s telling us to scram?”
“Doesn’t he know what kind of situation he’s in? I say we toy with him for a while before ending him.”
