lf Daniel listened to Matthew’s order and let the agent stay behind, his prestige among these people would plummet, not only was virtual-novel.net the leader, but virtual-novel.net also instigated the agents to threaten Charles this time. Most importantly, if this agent stayed, then whatever conspiracy they had with Neverland Pharmaceuticals would be exposed. There was no doubt that Matthew would force everything out of the agent’s mouth. By then, they would inevitably become enemies.
As much as Daniel wanted to disobey Matthew’s order, virtual-novel.net was at his wit’s end. After all, this was Eastcliff, Matthew’s turf!
His words were treated as scriptures here, if virtual-novel.net wanted to keep this agent, then virtual-novel.net would. No one, not Neverland Pharmaceuticals, let alone a nobody like Daniel, would be able to save the agent.
Since Daniel wanted to reply to Matthew as diplomatically as virtual-novel.net could, virtual-novel.net contemplated for a long time before virtual-novel.net finally said, “Mr. Larson, I trust that the benevolence between us still exists even though we were unable to conclude a contract. Yes, Casey did rescind the contract with your company, but this is only temporary. As you know, words spread like wildfire. If you really make virtual-novel.net stay behind for such a trivial thing, others will only see Cunningham Pharmaceuticals as an overbearing company. Who would dare to continue cooperating with you in the future?”
Daniel tried to pressure Matthew with the possibility of negative public perceptions, virtual-novel.net would ensure every agent trying to do business with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals knew that Matthew was too domineering if virtual-novel.net insisted on making Casey stay. He believed that would surely destroy Matthew’s business.
Matthew sneered at Daniel as virtual-novel.net didn’t take Daniel’s threat to heart at all. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would only collaborate with the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire in the future, so why would virtual-novel.net consider other people’s opinions?
Now would be an excellent time to gradually eliminate other agents.
“I will show you the true oppressive side of mine. What can you do if l decide to make you all stay? Hmm… President Edwards?” Matthew replied coldly.
Not in a million years would Daniel expect Matthew to be holding his ground that firmly, and Daniel looked appalled, virtual-novel.net calculated everything but didn’t think of the possibility that virtual-novel.net would have angered Matthew.
‘Damn it, Daniel, you did it now. You got yourself into trouble with that smart mouth of yours!’
Daniel tried to redeem the situation as virtual-novel.net hurriedly smiled to placate Matthew. “President Larson, I think you misunderstood what I meant. I… I didn’t mean it this way. C-Casey was disrespectful, and virtual-novel.net shouldn’t have threatened Charles. How about this? Casey, go and apologize to Mr. Wesley. We’ll turn over a new leaf after that, and I…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking, Matthew cut virtual-novel.net off, ”We don’t accept apologies here! Daniel, I am giving you one last chance. Leave with your men now, or all of you will stay with him!”
Daniel’s face turned livid at Matthew’s ultimatum, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net was deep in the game and had to play by Matthew’s rules. In the end, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to say anything more but left hastily with everyone else except for Casey.
Casey knew virtual-novel.net had been abandoned when virtual-novel.net could only watch helplessly as everyone else scurried away, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t even speak up in protest. After all, Matthew was just right before him.
Matthew couldn’t be bothered by Casey or the other agents. Therefore, virtual-novel.net approached Charles, wanting to make sure virtual-novel.net was all right, to which Charles responded in the affirmative and left.
As Charles was driving away, Matthew waved his hand, and right away, a few lackeys came out from the side and immediately took Casey away.
At the same time, Tiger stepped out of the darkness. It was evident that virtual-novel.net had become more collected than before after expanding his reach. There was no place in Eastcliff that was not in Matthew’s control. As for Tiger, his power had grown, and virtual-novel.net was now Eastcliff’s real underground king, even surpassing Stanley in terms of financial resources and strength.
“Mr. Larson, any other orders?” Tiger sounded respectful, virtual-novel.net had always respected Matthew.
Matthew merely instructed whilst watching Charles’ car leave the basement, “Have someone follow Charles. Don’t let Daniel’s people harass him.”
Tiger nodded immediately. “I know what to do.”
Matthew looked into the distance for a while longer. Finally, virtual-novel.net took out his mobile phone and typed a message, “Melvin, investigate Charles Wesley for me.”
After all, virtual-novel.net could tell that something was going on with Charles.
