Chapter 1570 Aboard


    While Jacob was recovering in the hospital, Bill was about to lose his mind. He kept cursing while


    pacing back and forth, just like an unfortunate ant that found itself on a hot stove.

    “Damn you, Scott! I knew it was a mistake to leave you alive!“ Bill eximed while walking around in


    circles inside his office. He looked dreadful and his forehead was full of cold sweat.


    Even if he was the one toe out on top that night, he still felt absolutely petrified.


    For him, he knew he could easily deal with either Jacob or Louis by themselves. However, going


    against the two of them together was basically impossible. It was clear to him that he wouldn''t be able


    to match their pace.


    “What should I do?“ Bill worriedly asked himself. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he


    felt. Because of that, he nervously scratched his head to think of a solution. But instead of looking like


    he was deep in thought, it looked more like he was trying to make himself bald.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. But at that moment, Bill didn''t have the energy to deal with


    anyone so he simply ignored it. Another knock came, pissing him off. Instead of opening the door, he


    angrily shouted at the person outside. “Fuck off! Don''t bother me!“


    “But boss, I have something important to tell you,“ the man outside meekly replied. He was scared for


    his life, but what he had to say was too important not to tell.


    Sensing that the man still hasn''t left, Bill eximed, “I already told you to get out of here! Why are you


    still standing there? I''m paying you good money to be reliable! If you have toe to me just to solve


    something simple, you can go to hell!“ Bill couldn''t handle the worries in his mind anymore. As a result,


    he threw a fit of rage. He kicked and smashed everything he saw inside the room.


    His wrath instilled a great sense of fear into his men. All the harsh words Bill was shouting and the


    ruckus he was causing felt like hundreds of needles going through their hearts.


    Despite their concern, none of Bill''s men dared to open their mouths. While Bill was trashing the room,


    they all lowered their heads in sorrow and kept quiet.


    After a while, some exchanged looks with each other to try and figure out the situation. Each and every


    one of them had their own guesses as to what was going on. ''What''s wrong with our boss?'' ''Shouldn''t


    he be happy that Jacob''s in the hospital?''


    ''I guess old age really makes a man very irritable.''


    ''Did someone do something wrong?


    Who irritated him?'' The man closest to the door slowly raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat on


    his forehead. While doing so, he thought to himself, ''Please calm down already, boss. I need to tell you


    something important.''


    About thirty minutes passed and no one had still made a single sound. By then, they had all epted


    the fact that they were going to get one heck of a scolding from Billter on.


    The tension in the air was so thick that it seemed like a sharp knife could cut through it. But their fear


    could onlyst so long. After an hour, they just epted it and became sympathetic to themselves.


    “Hey! Why is it so gloomy here? Stop sulking and go out. You guys deserve to have some fun!“ a


    young man with blond hair blissfully eximed. He came out of nowhere just when Bill''s men were


    about to leave.


    His voice wasn''t loud at all, but the overwhelming silence in the room made him sound boisterous.


    “What''s wrong with you? Why are you all standing here quietly?“ the young man asked when he was


    met with no response. A few of Bill''s men hinted to him to stop speaking, but he wasn''t sharp enough to


    catch on.


    His stupidity caused the other men to helplessly shake their heads in annoyance. They all just wished


    for him to disappear right at that moment. Since Bill was already in such a bad mood, they didn''t want


    anything to make it worse.


    “Hey guys! Come—“


    Before the neer could finish his words, Bill fiercely kicked the door open with an angry expression


    on his face. He stomped his feet while walking towards the blond man. Then he grabbed his cor and


    said, “Have fun?“


    “Boss... Please,“ the blond man uttered with a voice filled with fright. He was so scared that he couldn''t


    even look at Bill''s stone-cold face.


    “Since you seem so bored, I''ll give you something to do.“ Bill mockingly said while ncing at his other


    men. They were all hiding in a corner with their heads pointed down. It was as if they were little children


    getting scolded by their parents. After that, Bill threatened his men while pointing at them one by one.


    “Make sure this neer doesn''t fall down and die when I''m finished with him. If he does, I''ll make


    sure you''ll regret disappointing me.“


    When Bill was finished speaking, he tossed the blond man on the ground as if he was just a piece of


    trash. Then, Bill strode forward and even stepped on the neer''s hand since he was blocking the


    way.


    “Damn it!“ the blond man quietly murmured while rubbing his hand in pain.


    A feeling of despair quickly filled him when he imagined what else Bill would do to him. Unfortunately,


    he didn''t have the option to leave since he was indebted to Bill.


    Meanwhile, Bill wasn''t in a great mood as well. He knew Louis wouldn''t hesitate to get involved so he


    had to think of a way to get out of this mess in one piece. But after almost an hour of pacing back and


    forth and thinking, he had no clue what to do.


    Luckily, he didn''t need to fight alone, since Darren had specifically said that he would help him out no


    matter what. But still, he didn''t know if Darren was really there to help or just trying to put him in a bad


    position.


    Bill was a ruthless, stubborn man who faced problems head-on. So trusting a man like Darren, who


    was known for his deceitful schemes, was something difficult for him to do.


    But the fact was that Bill was in quite the pinch, and he simply had no choice but to turn to Darren for


    help. The fact that Darren hated both Louis and Jacob made it a little bit of an easier choice for Bill.


    In less than an hour, Bill was able toe to Darren''s office after talking to his assistant, Han.


    Their previous agreement on the phone made it particrly easy to do so. As Bill walked in, his eyes


    carried a subtle trace of anxiety.


    A frown made its way on Darren''s face as soon as he saw Bill enter his office.


    “Why are you here?“ he asked in a rather displeased tone. Although he did have an agreement with


    Bill, he knew it would be a bad thing for thetter to be seen in the KING Group''s building, given the


    terms of the said agreement.


    Ordinary employees might not know who Bill was, but what if someone recognized him?


    Darren was known as a man who fought dirty from time to time. But seeing him with Bill might ruin his


    already shaky reputation, especially if Bill was seen in his own office.


    “Mr. Xu, stop pretending you don''t know me. It makes me think that you''re going to turn on me,“ Bill


    irritably said while he uninvitedly sat down on the sofa. He crossed his legs and added, “Don''t forget


    that Jacob is in the hospital right now because of me. That''s what you wanted, right, Mr. Xu?“


    Ever since Bill was a young man, he had made sure that no one would belittle him, even if it was a


    powerful man like Darren. The words he had just said were to establish that he and Darren were on the


    same level as partners, instead of him being Darren''s subordinate.


    Darren was a keen-eyed man who knew not to waste a beneficial rtionship. He still had a lot of


    things he wanted Bill to do for him. As a result, he hid his anger and quickly replied with a calm smile,


    “Oh, I didn''t mean to offend you. I''m just a little surprised. What would you like to drink? I''ll call my


    secretary to bring anything you want.“


    Then, he cleaned up the documents on his desk and made sure that everything was in order. After that,


    he sat on a chair in front of Bill.


    Bill was still pissed at Darren''s first reaction when he saw him. So he just nced at him, shook his


    head, and said, “Whatever.“ With a bunch of problems in front of Bill, he didn''t want to waste any time


    on drinks. The only thing he wanted at that moment was to know their n on how to deal with Louis


    and Jacobbined.


    When everything was ready and there were only the two of them in the office, Darren curiously asked,


    “Your job was finished the moment Jacob''s car crashed. So tell me, what are you doing here?“


    Now that they were getting down to business, Bill leaned forward and rested his hands on his thighs.


    He replied, “Louis told me to prepare.“


    “Louis?“ As soon as Darren heard this name, his eyebrows furrowed and his calm demeanor


    disappeared.


    He quickly realized that things were about to get a lot moreplicated since Louis was now involved.


    While thinking of a solution, Darren casually red at Bill. In his mind, Bill looked like a man way past


    his prime. In fact, Darren thought that there was no need for Bill to evene to thepany. Bill


    would be absolutely useless in the future if he couldn''t even handle Louis all by himself.


    “He even knows what happened to Scott. He told me I would pay dearly for it.“ Right after Bill spoke, he


    became sorrowful. It was as if remembering Louis'' words scared him. After a few moments, he added,


    “I won''t be able to do what you want if Louis ising after me.“


    Bill was so desperate that he told Darren everything that was bothering him. He didn''t even hide the


    fact that he had murdered Scott''s parents in the past.


    “I was wondering... Do you have any backup ns for this?“


    Bill meekly asked while his head was pointed down at the ground. Hearing this desperate plea, Darren


    was utterly disappointed at the man in front of him. As a result, he could only look at him with eyes of


    contempt. Since he was too busy worrying about himself, Bill didn''t notice the fact that Darren had


    already given up on him.
