Sion, who’d been as cocky as could be earlier, changed faces the moment he heard those words.
The other five department heads with him looked nervously towards the speaker.
It was Baron. A middle-aged man followed behind him, someone Sion and his company didn’t know.
“What are you doing here, Mr. Chairman?”
After a brief lull, the shocked Terry asked.
Baron smiled mildly. “If I hadn’t come, you’d probably have been done for, right?”
Terry said bitterly, “This shipment is very important. If I hadn’t done this, the company would have paid for it.”
Baron didn’t get hung up on the matter. His sharp gaze fell on Sion and his gang.
The group were arrogant but knew full well that this young man was the chairman of River Construction Materials. Everyone was nervous.
“Great timing, Mr. Chairman. There’s something I have to make clear!”
Sion said, forcing calm.
“Speak!”
Baron sneered.
“You might not know, Mr. Chairman, but the manager of the Dynasty Nightclub, Kyle, just had some people block off the warehouse and stopped the company’s shipment.”
Sion cleared his throat, growing cocky once again, “Since you’ve heard everything, I won’t lie. Kyle is a good friend of mine. He’s here to get justice for me. If you don’t make me general manager, he’ll bring people here again.
“Right, Mr. Chairman, you might not know about Kyle’s background, right? The Dynasty Nightclub is a property of the Wilson family. If Kyle could be sent there as a manager, you see how highly he’s regarded by the Wilsons.
“He’s not happy with my dismissal and wants to get justice for me, which is why he brought people here. Even I can’t stop him. It’s up to you what you want to do yourself!”
Sion’s arrogance knew no bounds. He had no idea who he’d offended.
Jerome, standing behind Baron, had already turned beet red. If Baron hadn’t been in the way, he’d have attacked Sion already.
“You shameless cretin, Sion! Forcing the Chairman’s hand with underhanded methods like this.” Terry was outraged.
“Seems like you’re not afraid of reprisal.”
Baron suddenly felt the whole situation was funny. “If that’s the case, I’ll give you one last chance. Apologize to Mr. Perry now, then leave. I’ll let this whole thing blow over.”
“Apologize? Are you dreaming?”
Sion scoffed. “If you’re going to say that, Mr. Chairman, then I’ll be honest. Each day I go without being general manager is another day Kyle will come over to block off the warehouse. If you can afford that, I’ll dance with you till the end!”
“In that case, there’s nothing to discuss!”
Baron chuckled, then turned to Jerome. “You can bring out your lapdog now.”
“Sure!”
Jerome knew what Baron was planning but could only do as ordered.
“And you? Still going to stand with Sion?”
Baron suddenly looked at the five who’d come with Jerome.
The group looked at each other, determination in their eyes.
“Who do you think we are?”
“We came here with Mr. Sion, so we’ll go with him till the end!”
“Yeah, take Mr. Sion back to the company, or you can just wait for River Construction to shut down!”
The group’s attitude was firm, acting as if they were going to play around along with Sion every day if they weren’t allowed back into the company.
Baron looked at them, amused, shaking his head. “You really don’t know what’s what until you see it for yourself!”
Jerome appeared, leading twenty-off people behind him.
