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 their


    company 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 the


    company.”“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?”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
