Everyone hastily rescued the receptionists and shut the door to the office area. The office was separated from the reception area with a glass wall, so everyone could currently see the landlord furiously trashing everything and splashing paint outside. The receptionists’ sobs kept echoing in everyone’s heads.
The two receptionists were very upset and scared as they wept, having been splashed with paint. Everyone grew even more frightened as they watched what unfurled in the office. Sophia would probably have yet another stack of resignation letters on her desk tomorrow; who would want to work in a place where their safety couldn’t be guaranteed?
Soon, the landlord began to smash the glass wall ferociously; everyone could see every bit of dementedness in his face. They huddled in a group as their fear reached a fever peak, afraid that the landlord would smash the glass door at any moment and charge in to kill them.
Sophia had a cold gaze as she glanced at the terrifying landlord and his bunch of goons. A cold smile revealed itself on her face.
The landlord and his goons were dumbstruck by this. They had no idea where all these men in black popped up from, but they could tell with a glance that they weren’t any ordinary people.
The sudden arrival of protection made everyone’s eyes lit up. They wiped their tears and looked at these cold men in black.
The landlord and the goons he brought certainly didn’t dare to continue their destruction with this many imposing people around. The landlord forced himself to pretend to be calm and recalled the words that the person had said to him; if he was going to smash things up, he should go all in. In fact, he shouldn’t be afraid if he brought others to help. Sophia and her employees wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on him. If they did, someone would naturally sue them on his behalf and bankrupt Stanley’s company.
Remembering that he had a strong backer, the landlord puffed himself up and questioned the people in black. “Who are you?” he yelled in a shrill voice.
The leader of those men took a step forward and brandished the pistol by his hip. “We’re part of the underworld,” he said coldly.
As this went on, the landlord looked out the window and saw many cars parked at the foot of the building. He hastily pulled out his phone to call the police. “Hello, police? Save me! I’m being surrounded by some underworld guys. They have guns! Please hurry over, and here’s the address… Please come soon!”
After putting down the phone, the landlord was ecstatic as he pointed at Sophia before pointing at the group of men in black. “Hahaha, you lot are finished! Hiring some mafia guys? You’re done for! That’s certain!”
This was good news to him; even if Sophia did suffer a lot, there was no escaping the fact that she was guilty of hiring men from the underworld!
Now, her company was simply awaiting its closure.
When everyone heard the two words ‘underworld’ and ‘done for’, they felt their vision go dark. The company was definitely finished this time!
While some of her employees wept quietly, Sophia’s face was blank as she observed the situation on the other side of the glass wall. Everyone here had been working hard for so long, but their work had been stolen just as they were about to see the fruits of their labor. To top it off, their company was in danger of closing. How could they not be upset?
The landlord stood there basking in his jubilation. As long as he destroyed this company, he would be able to receive a sizable reward!
