Invincible Heir novel Chapter 9

Everyone was petrified at Camel’s words.

Camel was the general manager, the highest leadership position in the branch company. The only person who could be this respected by him was the Chairman of the Group.

Thinking that he’d been about to get violent with someone this important, Bill’s face turned ashen.

With a thump, he fell to his knees at Baron’s feet, pleading, “Mr. Chairman, sir, I was blind. Please, have a heart and let me off this time!”

Camel hadn’t known what was going on when he received news that the Chairman was coming to the company. He’d rushed over without stopping, but he couldn’t have imagined that Baron was already at the company doors. And it seemed he’d gotten in some altercation with the help.

“What’s this?” Camel demanded, incensed.

He’d sacrificed too much to become general manager. And now, with the branch only just established, his own men had offended the Chairman himself. He was extremely frustrated.

There was no mercy on Baron’s expression. “Have a heart? So I’m a heartless bastard if I don’t let you off?”

Bill almost pissed himself at Baron’s words. Nearly crying, he babbled, “No Mr. Chairman sir, I didn’t mean it like that, I know I’ve done wrong, please give me another chance.”

Baron only snapped, “Out!”

Five years of serving on the border had taught Baron one thing – mistakes had to be punished.

With his status, there was no need to butt heads over a mere security guard, but the Brone Group was the only thing he had of his mother. Nobody could tarnish its reputation.

Bill had been about to make more pleas when Camel kicked him over and commanded, “Drag him out!”

Camel’s attitude was one of subservience. He’d more or less heard a bit of the rumors surrounding Baron.

The pair went into the office, one in front, and the other in the back. Everyone looked, shocked, at Baron, and their vaunted Camel following slightly bowed behind him.

They’d heard that the Chairman of the Brone Group was coming to the offices today. Looking at Camel’s cautious bearing, Baron’s identity was self-evident.

“It didn’t take a minute for the upper crust families to pay visits to Mr. Camel when he first arrived in Cona, but now he’s following behind this young man? Unbelievable!”

“Nonsense. Even if the richest man in Cona came up, Mr. Camel wouldn’t treat him with this much respect. This young man has to be the Chairman!”

“The Chairman is this young? Be still my beating heart.”

Baron’s appearance made waves.

“Yuri, look, is Mr. Camel following behind Baron?”

Having just finished the employment process and walked back to the lobby, Bonnie caught a glimpse of Baron’s back and shock registered on her face.

By the time Yuri took a look, Baron had disappeared at the end of the corridor.

“Please. If Mr. Camel was following somebody, do you think it’d be that useless garbage?” Yuri said, amused.

Bonnie slapped herself upside the head. “I’m so silly. For Mr. Camel to treat him like that, it has to be the Chairman who’s coming to the office today.”

Brone Group penthouse, the inside of a luxurious office.

Baron sat on a comfortable sofa, meditating with his eyes closed, without saying a word.

Camel stood to the side carefully. “Mr. Chairman, sir, you must have orders to have come here all the way. Please tell me. I won’t disappoint you.”

“Just wait.”

With those two words, Baron fell back into silence, his eyes still closed.

The seconds ticked by, turning into minutes. Baron continued meditating, placing incredible pressure on Camel, whose forehead began to bead with sweat. Unease clouded his heart. The Chairman said to “just wait”. Who are what was he waiting for? Did he know?
