The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027

“Speak!

“Who am I?”

The deep voice on the other end of the line asked again.

“I… I…

“Mr… Mr. Zook… I didn’t know it was you…”

James held the phone in both hands and put it to his ear as he spoke obsequiously, nodding and bowing.

He had no idea that Sean would be able to get in touch with the big shot at Jen–Bond Holdings!

Mr. Zook was not only James’s immediate superior but also a major shareholder of Jen- Bond Holdings.

Mr. Zook was responsible for Jen–Bond Holdings‘ expansion in River City.

“Say no more.

“Not only did you not report the whole thing immediately, but you kept it from me.

“Are you going to keep it a secret if I never asked?”

Mr. Zook’s question made James‘ forehead drip with sweat.

It was not that he did not want to report it, but he was scared!

Jen–Bond Holdings had made a lot of effort to take over River City.

They spent money, manpower, and material resources. They had also used a lot of connections and owed many favors.

Many people at the headquarters wanted to take over this task.

After all, if he settled this, he would be Jen–Bond Holdings‘ major contributor.

Besides, everyone thought a small city like River City would be easy to take over.

Therefore, they thought the task was an easy but profitable one.

Many people volunteered for this opportunity.

James even pulled some strings and contacted many people.

Eventually, he offended many colleagues to win the opportunity.

He promised in front of many people that he would settle it perfectly. However, he dared not report it when things turned out this way.

Once word about it got back to the headquarters, not only would he be held accountable,

but his colleagues would probably criticize him mercilessly.

It was why he thought he would start by contacting Damian.

However, he did not expect Sean to contact Mr. Zook.

It now seemed that Mr. Zook was well aware of these things.

“I’m talking to you. Do you not hear me?”

Mr. Zook was angrier when James kept quiet.

“Mr. Zook, let… let me explain…”

James quickly said humbly.

“You don’t have to explain yourself to me.

“Figure out how to explain to the entire Jen–Bond Holdings.

“Think about the consequences when what happened over there that affects HQ.”
