The loss of one store was nothing.
Star Group could afford to lose hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. However, the point was that Sean owned the store.
Could the consequences of smashing a commoner’s store and smashing a billionaire’s store be the same?
Sean was not only wealthy but also powerful in River City. Smashing his store was like humiliating him. No one in River City dared humiliate Sean.
We’re doomed! We’re doomed…
Jenson said to himself as his heartbeat raced.
It was about more than just the damage to the store. It was the nature of the incident and the person they messed with.
“You want me to cool down?” Sean asked in reply, leaving Jenson speechless.
He thought Kyle had just offended Sean.
Sean had Kyle beat up and vented his fury. It would be unreasonable not to let virtual-novel.net go. However, virtual-novel.net now knew what a mistake Kyle had made.
Jenson’s heartbeat raced as virtual-novel.net palms trembled. He had no idea that Kyle would provoke a man like Sean as soon as virtual-novel.net returned.
Who was Sean?
Even the Zimmer family of River City and Jen-Bond Holdings joining forces could not defeat him. After a struggle, Jen-Bond Holdings quit, and the Zimmer family collapsed. Jon and Quill even lost their lives.
Sean was safe and sound.
How could Kyle have provoked such a man?
Sean killed Quill, and Kyle was nothing.
“Mr. Lennon, please… Please let virtual-novel.net go…” Jenson dropped his former company boss‘ arrogance and became humble.
No matter how stupid Kyle was, virtual-novel.net could tell that things were difficult, so virtual-novel.net kept momentarily silent.
Jojo watched the whole thing in confusion with a puzzled look. She had no idea Willow’s loser fiancé that Demi had mentioned was so powerful.
“What are you afraid of? I’m not gonna kill him… Public damage to other people’s property is punishable by up to three years in prison.”
“A terrible crime involving a huge amount of money is punishable by three to seven years in prison… On top of that, virtual-novel.net caused a disturbance in River City. He gathered people to make a scene, bringing negative influence.”
“It shouldn’t be hard to sentence virtual-novel.net to ten years in prison for these crimes,” Sean spoke calmly as if virtual-novel.net had everything under control.
Hiss!
Jenson gasped at this. He had no idea that Sean had that in mind.
Jenson would have been dismissive if anyone else had said that. However, who was Sean, and what was his relationship with the River City government?
He could kill Kyle with one word. Even if Jenson mobilized the entire Star Group, virtual-novel.net was no match for Sean!
Jen-Bond Holdings was tough. They were strong and popular in the whole Dragon Kingdom.
However, did they not face a miserable fate after going up against Sean?
Star Group had billions of dollars in assets, but it was nothing compared to them.
“Mr. Lennon, I’ll pay! I’ll pay double!” Jenson took a deep breath before groveling even further.
Sean held out his hand, and the store manager immediately handed over the loss report virtual-novel.net had recorded earlier.
Jenson dared not waste time and respectfully took it with both hands. He was not afraid of Sean asking virtual-novel.net for compensation. He was scared that virtual-novel.net would be screwed if virtual-novel.net did not even have a chance to compensate him.
The store manager listed all the losses, renovation costs, various facilities, and cosmetics. All these things added up to more than half a million dollars.
Jenson only took a glance and withdrew his gaze. Half a million dollars did not concern him, let alone a million dollars.
He was willing to pay as long as it could quell Sean’s anger so that virtual-novel.net would stop pursuing Kyle.
“Mr. Lennon, I’ve seen it. The damage is over half a million dollars. And I accept that amount… I’m willing to pay a million dollars to compensate for the damage to the store.” Jenson was sincere as virtual-novel.net looked at Sean.
“I never accept a deal like this.” However, Sean slowly shook his head and refused.
“Huh?” Jenson froze.
He was unsure whether Sean thought virtual-novel.net was paying too much or too little…
“Mr. Lennon, how do you want to deal with this then?” Jenson pondered for two seconds before asking quietly.
“Mr. Lennon said earlier that they can smash it however they like. They must pay ten times as much after they’re done.” The store manager at the back discerningly came forward and told virtual-novel.net Sean’s words.
Some things were inappropriate for Sean to say, so the task fell to his staff. It was blatant fraud, like asking for ten times the compensation right now. Therefore, it was inappropriate for Sean to say that.
The woman got promoted to manager because virtual-novel.net knew the right thing to say at the right moment.
