The Ex-Con Who Conquered the World novel Chapter 26

"AHHH!!"

"Korbin! How dare you hurt me? You're dead! Not just you, the entire Tiger Head Society is finished!" Simon's agonized screams were laced with venomous hatred.

Korbin wiped the blood that had spattered onto his face. At this point, there was no turning back; he had burned his bridges. He ignored Simon's howls entirely. His gaze swept over the several dozen men in the room, his voice cold as ice. "All of you, get over here! Each one of you takes a cut at him! Anyone who doesn't, I'll fucking kill him myself!"

The black-suited thugs' hearts clenched. Hearing the order, they all rushed forward, hacking wildly at the fallen Simon.

A flicker of amusement passed through Stefan's eyes as he gave Korbin a deep, appraising look.

This guy... seems rough, but he's sharp as a tack.

Simon's identity was extraordinary. Killing him meant making a mortal enemy of the Prescott family. If it was ever traced back, death was certain. With so many people present, all it would take was one traitor tempted by a huge reward to report to the Prescott family, and Korbin would be finished. After all, Korbin couldn't guarantee none of his men were turncoats.

But this solved it neatly. Having everyone take a cut meant they were all accomplices to Simon's murder. Who would dare snitch now?

Gradually, Simon's despairing, horrified, wretched cries faded into silence.

When the men finally stopped, Simon was nothing more than a pulpy mess of flesh and blood. Even his own parents wouldn't recognize him.

Nina and Janet watched, a chill creeping up their spines. Nina's gaze shifted involuntarily to Stefan. Who was this young man? With a simple move, he had effectively gained control over Korbin.

"B-boss, is this... satisfactory?" Korbin approached Stefan, forcing an ingratiating smile onto his face.

"I just came to collect a debt. Who knew it would turn into this..." Stefan shook his head, a hint of exasperation in his voice. He glanced at Korbin. "About that debt your Tiger Head Society owes the Stewart Group..."

"Boss, I'll transfer it right away! I'll send it to the Stewart Group's account this instant. Ten million even, right?" Korbin's attitude had done a complete one-eighty as he spoke hurriedly.

"Ten million?" Stefan let out a cold laugh, narrowing his eyes. "One million, outstanding for a year and a half. How much should the interest be by now?"

"Absolutely right. Just name the figure, boss. I'll transfer it immediately." Korbin was the picture of deference.

"No need for anything too outrageous," Stefan said, clapping Korbin on the shoulder with an air of magnanimity. "Just add a zero to the end."

Realization dawned on Korbin. Under the guise of debt collection, Stefan was shaking him down. He's robbing the robber!

So damn ruthless!
