Chapter 538


    What!


    Mr. Terence’s jaw dropped opened as he was shocked.


    How have I endangered the nation’s wellbeing? I merely bribed the mediapanies to misrepresent


    the facts of the particr news!


    Damn it! I’m sure Zeke is the one behind this!


    It seems like his influence extends beyond the underworld and all the way into the upper echelon!


    At that moment, Mr. Terence felt as though he was as good as gone.


    ...


    In the meantime, Wilson Wood was throwing a tantrum at the municipal office.


    He took his anger out on Harvey Hoffman, the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal


    Committee.


    “You useless piece of trash! You can’t even execute such a simple order! Why on earth did you drug


    Adam with amoxicillin? You should have finished him off with something stronger! I’m warning you! If


    your mistake dys our master’s n in any means, you are the one to be med.”


    When Harvey heard Wilson’s words, he regretted his decision as well.


    Initially, he thought he would be able to send Adam to hell as he was allergic to such a drug. However,


    Zeke’s medical skills were beyond his expectation. He actually brought Adam back to life.


    Harvey tried to persuade Wilson, “Mr. Wood, please calm down. Actually, I have another n to ensure


    those from the Linton Group won’t be able to get their hands on Reagan Pharmaceutical.”


    “Speak.” Wilson took a sip of tea as he tried to suppress his anger.


    Harvey asked rhetorically, “Mr. Wood, are you aware of the distribution of the shares of Reagan


    Pharmaceutical?”


    Wilson replied, “Logan owned fifty percent of the shares back then, but Zeke is the owner of the shares


    as of now. The remaining fifty percent are in the hands of four other shareholders, with Jacob being the


    one who owns thirty percent of the remaining fifty percent shares.”


    Immediately, Harvey exined, “That’s merely a cover. Actually, Jacob owns fifty percent of the


    remaining shares. The three other shareholders are but his subordinates and take orders from him.


    Apart from that, Jacob has another identity which I’m sure you will be surprised by it.”


    “What is it?” asked Wilson.


    Finally, Harvey told Wilson the truth, “Actually, Jacob is Logan’s illegitimate son. Think about it! Zeke


    was the one who murdered Jacob’s father. Do you think he will hand Reagan Pharmaceutical over to


    his sworn foe?”


    When Wilson heard Harvey’s words, he sneered and teased, “That’s quite a surprise. I didn’t expect


    Logan to be a womanizer. Get in touch with Jacob and instruct him to get in Zeke’s way. We can’t allow


    Zeke to get his hands on Reagan Pharmaceutical, at least not until the final phase of our master’s


    n.”


    “Alright! I’ll get in touch with him immediately,” replied Harvey.


    ...


    As of now, things were tough for those affiliated with Reagan Pharmaceutical because their supplier


    had reached their doorstep to collect their receivables.


    They had unanimously agreed to stop supplying the materials Reagan Pharmaceutical needed unless


    they managed to settle their debts.


    The distributors had stopped ordering from Reagan Pharmaceutical as well. In fact, they were


    demanding refunds instead.

    Reagan Pharmaceutical’s cash flow could no longer sustain thepany’s day-to-day operation. Truth


    be told, they couldn’t even afford the frontline workers’ wages anymore.


    Hence, thepany’s employees went on a strike in front of the office as they demanded their wages


    be paid.


    However, Jacob, the supervisor of thepany, paid no heed to the workers’ demand. Instead, he was


    having a great time with his secretary in his office.


    Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal


    Committee, Harvey.


    Jacob pped his secretary’s butt and instructed her to leave him alone. Finally, he picked up the call


    once she moved away from him.


    As soon as Jacob hung up the call, he sneered viciously as he recalled the instructions from Harvey.


    Hmph! What an arrogant fool! Zeke, you’re the one who has murdered my father and taken over his


    shares. I can’t believe you’reing after Reagan Pharmaceutical next. However, I will never allow


    you to achieve your goal! Instead, I’ll get you to return the shares you have taken from my dad.


    All of a sudden, the other three shareholders made their way into Jacob’s office.


    They seemed to be extremely worried as though misfortune was about to befall them.


    “Jacob, what should we do? We’re generating loss as we speak. If things persist as it is, thepany


    won’t make it through another fortnight.”


    “Sigh... I have no idea what’s going on... The suppliers and distributors are determined to void their


    contract with us! What rotten luck!”


    “We have to take the situation with the frontline workers into consideration as well, Jacob. Should we


    sell off some of our assets and settle their wage? We can’t possibly allow the production to be halted,


    right?”


    When Jacob heard their words, he replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. Actually, everything that’s


    happening at the moment is part of my n. I’m the mastermind behind everything.”
