Chapter 359


    Eugene returned promptly.


    His tone suddenly became humble as he approached Keh. “Our boss wishes to speak with you,


    Mr.


    Hamilton.”


    Keh nced at himzily, looking as though he did not intend to answer the call.


    Eugene frowned. “We were wrong earlier, Mr. Hamilton, and are here to offer our apology. You can


    decide how you want to punish uster.”


    Keh snorted as his frosty gaze swept over Eugene. Though he did not say a word, he exuded


    extreme anger.


    The man on the other end of the line seemed to have sensed something awry and spoke to


    Eugene, who hummed a reply before putting the phone on speaker mode.


    “Mr. Hamilton.”


    Keh gazed down nonchntly. Despite hearing the voice, his expression did not change in the


    slightest.


    “My men didn''t know better and offended you before rifying the matter. Please don’t hold it


    against them, Mr. Hamilton.” Reichen''s feeble yet gravelly voice came from the other end.


    Keh''s expression remained calm. A meaningful smile yed on his lips as he gazed at Eugene


    before him as though he could see the person on the other end of the line. “Were your men


    ignorant, or were they acting under orders?”


    “You must be joking, Mr. Hamilton. I am an old man in my fifties. Do you think I''d be that clueless? If


    you want the goods, Mr. Hamilton, you could take them yourself. Why do you have to go through


    the trouble of quarreling with me and intercepting it? It''s meaningless that way.” Reichen concluded


    with augh that sounded sheepish.


    Keh listened without saying a word in response.


    “How about this?” Reichen suggested. “You may punish them however you like if your anger has


    not abated, Mr. Hamilton. I leave it entirely up to you.”


    Keh''s gaze swept around him at those words. “Is that so?” he asked coldly.


    “You may do whatever you want if it appeases your anger.


    “Your men are listening,” Keh pointed out. “Aren''t you afraid of frightening them?”


    “One must pay the price for the mistakes they make,” Reichen dered. “It was their fault for


    offending you, Mr. Hamilton. They brought this upon themselves. As long as it appeases you,


    anything goes.”


    Kehughed. His fair face emanated a severe chill. “And what if I''m still upset?”


    “What would you like to do, Mr. Hamilton?” Reichen asked patiently on the other end.


    “I haven''t decided,” Keh said slowly, his tone filled with provocation. “I am not short of money,


    after all. As for power, you weren''t even popr yet back when I started my career.”


    Eugene frowned as he listened to the exchange.


    Reichen, too, fell silent on the other end of the line for a moment.


    After an indeterminable amount of time, Reichen guffawed. “Hah! I knew you were somebody


    special, Mr. Hamilton. Even with power, an ordinary businessman would not have been able to


    avoid matters like this. Good job at concealing your involvement.”


    Keh said nothing in response to the unctuous words.


    “Let''s not beat around the bush anymore, Mr. Hamilton,” Reichen proimed. “Tell me what you


    want, and I''ll honor it if it''s within my power.”


    “All right, then. I’ll get to the point. I want all of the information regarding your old nemesis.” “Are you


    referring to Boss?” Reichen asked.


    “Yes.”


    Reichen was startled. “Do you have a grudge against him, Mr. Hamilton?”


    “If I don''t, I wouldn''t have helped you with the goods.” Keh spoke.


    He is not somebody to be trifled with!” Reichen warned.


    “What''s wrong? Are you scared?”


    “Scared? He has been my enemy for years. Why would I be afraid? I''m worried for you, Mr.


    Hamilton. Since you''ve already stepped down, you shouldn''t get involved in this business if you


    have no grudges. The oue may not be in your favor.”


    Kehughed. “Are you worried about me or that you''re unable to fulfill my demand?”


    Reichen spoke again after another startled silence. “I will think of something. You will have it in a


    week.”


    “All right. I''ll be waiting.”


    “As for my goods—”


    “Naturally, you’ll get them after a week too!”


    “You are indeed a businessman, Mr. Hamilton. That''s settled, then. One week!” Reic repeated


    before hanging up.


    Keh''s lips curled as his eyes twinkled with nefarious intent.


    Eugene addressed Keh at that moment. “We have crossed a line today, Mr. Hamilton, and are


    at your mercy for whatever you wish to do.”


    Keh''s gaze swept across the vicinity as he spoke with a husky voice. “If anybody dared speak


    to me in this manner back then, they may not even have the opportunity toplete their


    sentence.” As he spoke, his bloodthirsty gaze fell upon Eugene. “You should be grateful that I''m in a


    good mood today. Otherwise, you wouldn''t even know what killed you.”


    Eugene shuddered before he nodded. “Then I must thank you for showing mercy, Mr. Hamilton.”


    Keh lowered his gaze and said haughtily, “I don''t have time to waste. Tell me what happened.”


    Eugene approached at once to fill him in on what had happened after he left.


    Keh''s brows furrowed as he mused over what he had heard.


    “There are no damages at all? And only one person robbed you of all your goods?”


    Eugene nodded, aware of how embarrassing it would be if word got out. “We don''t know if it was


    one individual. Our men said they only saw one person, but I feel there are many more. Like an


    intricate organization.”


    Keh chuckled. “There are so many of you, and you can''t even watch a car?”


    “Both our cars that are tailing the truck had been blocked, separating us from the goods in front.”


    “Blocked?”


    Eugene nodded.


    “Why was it blocked?”


    “A kid got in the way,” one of the men exined as he stepped forward. “He said that he was


    separated from his family and asked if we could send him home.”


    “A kid?” repeated Keh incredulously.


    The man nodded.


    “So you sent him home?”


    “How could we? We were in a rush, and he kept insisting. In the end, we only lent him a phone to


    make a call.”


    Keh''s eyes narrowed. “Do you still have the number?”


    “Yes.” That man stepped forward at once and offered up his phone.


    Keh nced at the number before dialing it immediately.


    All of Eugene''s men stood upright, gazing at Keh expectantly as they awaited the call to


    connect.

    “Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service.”


    Keh smiled when the automated voice came from the other end as if he had expected this to


    happen.


    The man who offered his phone was stunned. “How could this be? He made the call to this


    number!”


    “This is their setup, you fool!” Eugene shouted. “What good are you to me if even a kid could con


    you?”


    “The kid was only six or seven years old, Mr. Yolk,” the man cried. “Who would have thought?”


    Eugene walked over and swung a fist at the man, sending him falling to the ground. A ne fell


    alongside him.
