Chapter 77
Daniel''s tone was serious as he spat out the words one by one. "Curiosity killed the cat, my friend. Stop
being noisy if you still care about your family!"
"Y-Yes… I won''t say another word…"
Jay was scared out of his wits! To think the Vice President was using his family''s lives to threaten him!
It was as clear as day that Daniel was more powerful than Jay had initially thought!
Kingsley''s fingers tapped against the office desk as he asked, "Daniel, why did you recruit a person like
him into ourpany?"
"To answer your question, Mr. Nicholson." Daniel stood as straight as a ramrod.
"I''ve considered his family background. The Carters have long been a well-known aristocratic family in
the city, so they have a good reputation. Jay is not only the young master of the family, but he has also
graduated with a DBA from the best-ranking university in the world. Hiring him will be very beneficial for
Coliree Group''s future developments."
Although Daniel was dressed in a suit, his mannerism and speech still had traces of a person who had
once trained in the military.
"DBA?"
Well, this is new. Kingsley''s initial impression of Jay was just a richd who was arrogant and
domineering due to his family background. This dude is not as bad, I guess.
After all, the best university wasn''t a ce where someone could enter with just money and mere
connections.
Worried that Kingsley would ce the me on him, he quickly exined, "Yes. Although Jay is a little
arrogant, he''s the real deal. If not for that, I never would have let him be the General Manager for
thepany…"
Kingsley nodded his head in response. If thisd could be trained well, there is a possibility that he
could be a real asset to thepany in the future.
Noticing that Kingsley''s expression had rxed slightly, Jay felt as if he saw a ray of hope, so he took
the chance to make his plea. "Mr. Nicholson, as you know, I''m the young master of the Carter Family. I
had to learn how to grow up under everyone''s gaze on me. Everyone jumped at the chance to tter
me, yet they were all waiting for the day I would make a single mistake. I had no choice but to be
who I am today in order to protect myself…"
Although Kingsley knew he was speaking the truth, he still questioned coldly, "Are you trying to give
excuses?"
"N-No…" Terrified, Jay kneeled down and begged for mercy. "I fully understand that my attitude was
the problem, and I''ll promise I''ll change. I swear on my life, so please don''t fire me…"
"I can consider not firing you." His fingers were still tapping rhythmically on the table. "I''ll consider it if
you can correct your arrogant behavior and obey all my orders."
Feeling as if a huge burden was suddenly lifted from his shoulders, Jay bowed and thanked him,
announcing, "I''ll make sure to correct all my bad habits and follow your lead!"
"Alright, I''ll ask Daniel to keep an eye on you. If I ever received news that you looked down on
someone again, I''ll make sure to finish you off myself!"
"Yes, yes. I''ll never do that again…" Jay was overjoyed to the point he felt like crying because he was
finally out of danger…
As for Kingsley, he had his own reasons for keeping Jay.
Daniel was right, they had to build a connection with the local forces in order for theirpany to have
a perfect disguise.
At the same time, they had to make sure they had a secured ce within the business industry. In that
case, Jay was definitely the perfect choice. By recruiting him, they could kill two birds with one stone!
"You can continue your work now. There are still a few matters I have to discuss with Daniel."
Kingsley gave a sign for Jay to leave. Noticing the meaning behind Kingsley''s words, he quickly left the
office.

"Come on, let''s go and have a look at how Boris is doing." Kingsley stood up and said, "I want to
interrogate him personally."
Daniel quickly stood up straight and saluted him. "Yes, Ares!"
He had to abide by the military rules when no outsiders were around!
Daniel started to introduce the interior design of the building as they were taking the lift, exining,
"Ares, there are a total of eighteen buildings for ourpany. Nine of them are used as decoys and are
known as the external factions. The rest of them are used to carry out missions, called the interior
factions. A za separates the two factions, and there are guards keeping watch secretly all day. The
external faction''s workers will never find out about our disguise."
They arrived at Building No.17, the ce where Boris was imprisoned.
Kingsley had just got out of the car when a couple of soldiers came out from hiding. Saluting
respectfully, they greeted, "Ares!"
"Keep it up, people." He nodded with a smile on his face. With just one sentence, he ignited the fire in
the soldiers'' eyes!
Stepping inside the building, he began to examine the surroundings. There were about twenty floors in
the particr building, yet not a single worker was in sight. The only things in sight were the shing
red lights of the numerous security cameras monitoring every corner of the building.
"Ares, Boris is imprisoned on the second floor. Let''s go up." Daniel had just finished speaking when
Lancer came running in their direction.
"Ares!"
Nodding his head, he turned around and ordered, "Daniel, you can return to your post for now. There''s
no need for you to pay attention to this matter, for I want you to focus on maintaining the external affairs
of thepany."
"Yes, sir!"
Standing at attention, he saluted Kingsley and Lancer before leaving.
"Where''s Hades?" Kingsley asked as they walked toward the interrogation room.
"He''s hiding in an ambush at Boris'' mansion to see if there were any idiots who would expose
themselves."
Shaking his head, he said, "Ask him toe back. His partners have probably all hid away since Boris
has disappeared for such a long time. It''ll be hard to lure any of them out."
Lancer brought him in front of arge iron gate. "Boss, Boris is inside this room."
As he spoke, he knocked on the door rhythmically a couple of times. After a moment, a soldier opened
the door from inside.
The window in the room was sealed shut without letting a hint of lighte through. The only thing
there was a small area for venttion, approximately eleven inches.
The sound instion was installed perfectly, and not a single sound was transmitted from the outside.
The silence in the dimly lit room was eerie, so any person would break down after staying for a long
time here!
Thus, it was the perfect ce to interrogate criminals!
Lancer gave his report, saying, "The whole building has been remodeled to be specially used for
imprisonment and interrogation."
Breathing in the metallic scent of blood, he nodded satisfyingly. "You''ve done a great job."
After he took a few steps forward, he saw a few chairs ced in the center, while rows upon rows of
terrifying torture devices were ced at the side.
It was a sight that would cause anyone to get goosebumps all over their bodies. Boris was tied in a
chair, his whole body covered in blood stains, with an apathetic expression on his face.
This was obviously not the first round of interrogation!
Striding right in front of him, Kingsley questioned, "Are you Boris?"
