Now that the matter had already been exposed, there was no point in denying it anymore.
Suddenly, several loud smacking sounds were heard.
Caspian had slapped Matteo across the face several times.
"You're gutsy, huh? You must be held accountable for the counterfeit goods! You'll be the one to bear the losses of Southlake Corporation!" Caspian said.
He then looked toward Sylvia and asked, "How badly were we impacted by the mass imitation scheme?"
"Due to the counterfeit goods, our losses came up to a whopping five billion dollars!" Sylvia said.
Matteo was dumbstruck.
Even though their processing factory had been producing counterfeit goods all day and all night, their stocks had only amounted to about 500 to 600 million worth of goods.
Now, Caspian just blatantly claimed that it was five billion instead. This was daylight robbery!
"Mr. Kane, you must pay the price for your actions!" Caspian said coldly.
"Caspian, stop coming after me. I'm not a pushover. I won't let you have your way either.
"This is my home turf. If you continue pushing my buttons, I'm going to fucking hurt you, and you'd better not cry!" Matteo cursed.
Even though he was afraid of Caspian, it didn't mean he would just give in without fighting back.
"Guards, attack him!" Matteo yelled as he signaled them to charge at Caspian.
Hugh led a group of men as they rushed toward Caspian.
They were all clad in work uniforms and were holding various kinds of equipment in their hands.
"Are you scared now, Caspian? They're the thugs of our factory! I'm going to make sure you die today!" Matteo said with a smug expression on his face.
Caspian snickered.
These minions weren't worth his time.
Matteo must have lost his mind. How could he think of challenging Caspian?
"Sylvia!" Caspian shouted.
"Yes, Caspian!"
Sylvia took big strides toward the men while staring them dead in the eyes.
She rushed out without hesitation.
"Catch that bitch! Teach her a fucking lesson!" Matteo shouted.
"Yes, Mr. Kane!"
"Let's go! Attack!"
Hugh and the other men had Sylvia surrounded.
What happened next made Matteo dumbfounded.
Sylvia was quick and precise with her attacks.
After a few swings and kicks, Hugh and the others were already on the ground.
"How's this possible?" Matteo questioned as he stared at Sylvia. He couldn't comprehend it.
"What a bunch of losers. I can't believe you have the audacity to even taunt us," Sylvia said as she returned to Caspian's side.
"Are you ready to have a civil conversation now, Mr. Kane?" Caspian asked the stunned Matteo.
"What do you want, Caspian?" Matteo asked through gritted teeth.
He knew Caspian had something sinister in mind.
"I'm glad you asked. All you have to do is give me the factory," Caspian said before Sylvia tossed a folder to Matteo.
He picked the folder up and saw that it was an agreement of transfer for the factory.
"You want our factory?" Matteo asked, baffled at his request.
"That's right. All you have to do is give me the factory, and I'll just pretend that none of this ever happened," Caspian said with a grin.
"In your dreams, Caspian! I'll never give it to you! Not in a million years!" Matteo yelled.
After losing Enies, the factory became the means of livelihood for the Kane family.
The equipment inside the factory was worth more than two billion dollars.
If they were to give the factory away, the Kane family would lose its income.
"You don't want to?" Caspian asked coldly.
"Fine. Then I'll dig out every single sin you've committed from the very start, and I'll punish you for each and every one of them!
"Sylvia, teach him a lesson," he continued.
"Yes, Caspian!" Sylvia nodded her head.
