Zachary pointed at the window of the ward and said, “Ask your son to jump out of there and I’ll let this matter drop.”
Bob and his son’s expressions changed with great shock.
Jump out of there?!
Zane glanced with horror at the window that was ten stories above and then at his father Bob. Despair and pleas filled his eyes.
Bob looked beyond awkward as he was unable to back out now.
He was not going to allow his son to jump out the window no matter what.
“Motherf*cker, are you trying to play tricks with me? You’re leaving the decision to me because you think that I wouldn’t argue with a junior and would just scold and beat him. All would be fine since he’s not going to die anyway, right? As long as he doesn’t die, this will all pass, right?”
Zachary sneered, “Well, I insist on not doing things your way today. C’mon then. Didn’t you say that I can punish him any way that I want? Well, I’m not going to kill or harm your son. I just want him to jump out of the window. Are you going to jump out or not?”
Bob’s expression changed constantly. Ultimately, he said between clenched teeth, “Tell me what you want. Just don’t cross the line. I admit that I was wrong.”
Zachary let out a satisfied smile and said mildly, “I want 30% of the artificial canals in Southeast Alexandria that you’re involved in developing.”
Bob’s expression changed abruptly as he responded subconsciously, “No way! That’s my core asset. I will never allow anyone to touch it, let alone 30%!”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’m sure you can give me a share of the natural gas contract you signed earlier, then?”
Bob looked like he had seen a ghost when he heard Zachary’s words. “You’re spying on me?! Only a few people know about that. The public has no knowledge about that at all!”
“Bob, you’re so used to a smooth sailing life all these years that you have no idea about the dangers in the business world, huh?
