Chapter 1183
“Someone’s here,” stated Quinton.
Derek was still switching on hisputer since he was about to carry on with his work. Not taking
Quinton’s words seriously, he replied, “It could be the security guards who are keeping watch at night.”
However, Quinton’s professional instinct told him that the people outside weren’t security guards.
Security guards wouldn’t walk so carefully.
He quietly got up and burrowed himself into a corner without making a sound, cautiously blending in
with the night, like a cat lurking in the dark.
Then, the lights were silently switched off.
Even Derek noticed that something was strange.
He figured that Sandra would certainlyy a hand on him these days. Is she going to do so in the office
building? Isn’t this a little too bold of her?
Upon that thought, Derek stood up as well. To his surprise, the door to his office was suddenly banged
open before three burly men barged in from the outside; all of them had scars on their faces and were
holding machetes.
Derek’s heart skipped a beat, but he put up a brave front by yelling, “Who are you guys?!”
He knew that these men came for him. As expected, Sandra made a move.
The strong desire to survive caused Derek’s physical strength and reflexes to reach their peak. He
subconsciously picked up the chair on the floor to fight off the machete-wielding men, yelling, “What are
you waiting for? Save me!”
Unfortunately, Quinton had disappeared without a trace amid the chaos.
As expected, this guy isn’t reliable at all!
These burly men hade well-prepared; their attacks were ruthless and by no means sloppy, for they
never spoke from the moment they showed up until the moment they struck. One could tell at a nce
from their expressionless faces and the chillingly frosty looks in their eyes that they were a bunch of
desperadoes.
After fighting against them a few times, Derek was forced to step back to the front of the French window
that was dozens of stories high above the ground.
Dragon Technology’s office building was very tall and good-looking. It had a unique architecture, for
several floors at the top level were designed to shape like a mushroom.
Stanley hadined more than once that their office building looked like a cock, with Derek’s office
located at its ‘tip’.
The window had been smashed using the chair during the fight just now, creating a hole where cold air
gusted through from a high altitude. As a result, the temperature in the office dropped drastically to below
zero degrees Celsius. Derek trembled all over, knowing that there was no escape for him.
No, I won’t be resigned to this! I’m about to realize my ambition, and my ideal life is about toe true.
My wonderful life has just started, so I can’t die!
But with the three machete-wielding men closing in on him, he would either be shed to death or fall to
his death on this day.
He refused to resign himself to such a fate!
Unfortunately, he already had no time left, for the three men suddenly closed in on him simultaneously.
He backed away step by step until he was in front of the holed French window. Cold air gusted in through
the hole, making Derek feel as if his blood was frozen.
Suddenly, someone pushed his shoulders forcefully, causing him to lose his footing, and he fell into the
darkness at high altitude.
“Aaaaah—” Derek let out a blood-curdling scream. Suddenly, he felt his hands being grasped firmly by
something.
He thought that he must be dreaming. He must have been as dead as a doornail after falling from a
building that was dozens of stories high…
The three ouws looked everywhere after pushing Derek off the building. Someone else seemed to
have been in this room just now, but they went missing in the blink of an eye. They hurried to the first
floor to avoid unnecessaryplications, only to see that the floor was very clean—Derek’s remains
were nowhere to be seen.
What’s going on? He couldn’t have survived after falling from such a tall building, so where are his
remains?
Perhaps the bodynded somewhere else since it’s so dark and windy.
The ouws decided to just forget it; they had seen Derek falling off the building with their own eyes, so
they thought he couldn’t possibly have survived.
One of them took out his cell phone and made a phone call. “Hello? The deed was done, but we didn’t
find the remains. Just rest assured, for our work is surely reliable. I have sent the surveince footage of
the scene to your email, so you may watch it. Make sure to pay the remaining bnce after watching the
surveince footage.”
As expected, they received a 7-digit payment in their bank ount after a while, then they immediately
set out to leave the city without dy. But right after they got on the beltway, an oil tanker rammed into
their vehicle, breaking their car into pieces on the spot.
Boom!
The oil tanker then exploded, reducing several human lives to ashes at once.
When Sophia woke up the next day, she learned of a piece of earth-shattering news.
“What? Ourpany was burrized? Derek fell off the building and went missing?” Sophia was
shocked upon hearing the details told by the person on the other end of the line. She subconsciously
uttered, “What about Quinton? What? He went missing as well?”
Michael, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly awoke with a start upon hearing the three names. He
sat up and listened to what was being told over the phone.
Dragon Technology was burrized? Quinton and Derek both went missing, and the surveince
footage showed Derek falling off the building? So they died together? How could that be possible?
Quinton couldn’t even be killed with a missile!
Michael and Sophia hurried to Dragon Technology together, and Cooper also hurried there upon learning
about the news.
Michael called Quinton on the way; only he and Derek knew Quinton’s phone number.
The call was put through. “Where are you?” he asked.
Quinton answered, “Reverie Mountain.”
“What are you doing there?!”
Quinton replied, “Enjoying the hot spring.”

He actually went to Reverie Mountain! Michael was shocked, but Quinton indeed coulde and go like
a shadow. Michael hurriedly asked, “Where’s the other one?”
Quinton replied, “He was a little in shock, so he went to sleep the moment we arrived.”
Since Quinton said so, Michael was naturally relieved. As expected, Derek wouldn’t die when Quinton is
present.
When they reached thepany, they found that the door to the building was indeed forced open. The
police had evene to cordon off the scene.
Originally built by Michael, the mushroom-shaped building where Dragon Technology Corporation was
located overlooked the buildings around it with its height of tens of stories. Its lower levels had been
rented out to a six-star hotel, whereas the higher levels were where Dragon Technology Corporation was
located. Thepany was veryrge in size since it upied dozens of floors in the building. However,
it was founded very recently, so many of its subsidiaries hadn’t moved in. There were still some
imperfections in its internal management, resulting in many loopholes.
Sophia went to the scene of the incident to take a look. The security guards in charge of keeping watch
at night had been sent to the hospital after being knocked unconscious. The police were watching the
surveince footage, and Derek’s office had been cordoned off. Many signs of struggle were found at the
scene of the incident; the window was smashed into pieces, and a broken chair was even found
downstairs. Luckily, no one was near the scene at that time.
The surveince videos showed three fierce-looking burly men going up using the hotel’s elevator and
purposefully heading for Derek’s office. They fought with Derek in the office for less than one minute
before pushing him off the building.
Michael eximed with an unctuous sigh, “Oh, my god! Who did this?”
A police officer responded. “There was a car ident on the inner ring expressway early this morning. It
was preliminarily determined that the three suspects had died in the car crash, and all three of them were
wanted criminals.”
