Chapter 25
“I have no choice but to let you suffer a little bit. I hope you can understand, Mr. Horne,” Nino said.
Tom was infuriated, of course What was he supposed to understand? Running naked to his office? Was it some kind of sick joke? If he did it, it would certainly make the headline news in Goldspire. How was he supposed to show his face in public ever again?
“I’m the chairman of Horne Enterprise. You’d better watch it, or else, you can’t blame me for not showing any mercy.”
“Hah! I guess there’s nothing more to be said. Sorry about this. Men, undress him.”
“Yes, boss!”
A few burly men subdued Tom and ripped his clothes off.
Tom screamed and struggled, to no avail.
“I’m going to kill you, Nino!” Tom cried out, his eyes bulging out in anger. Alas, this wasn’t the worst of it. What came next was the real nightmare, for he saw a massive wolfdog with saliva dripping from its gnashing teeth. Its eyes were ferocious, too.
Chuckling, Nino said, “I’ve raised him for many years now, Mr. Horne. He loves eating raw flesh the most, so you’d better run as fast as you can. Otherwise, I won’t be responsible if he bites off anything.”
The wolfdog started barking, and with a loud, fearful cry, Tom fled at once, too scared to care about anything. Laughing, Nino handed the wolfdog over to his subordinate and said, “Go on. Escort Mr. Horne back to his office.” At last, the room was silent again.
However, Nino was still uneasy. He and Leopold were mortal enemies. Would Leopold ask Gideon to come after him?
It was all that damn Tom’s fault! If not for Tom, he wouldn’t have offended Gideon. All he could do was try to make up for it now.
“Someone, find out which hospital Arnold Seymour is in and send over a significant gift as a token of my apologies.”
