Something at work
The next day.Donald was seated in his study casually going through some books when he got a call. It was from Leo.He casually picked it up; however, after hearing what the other party said, his heart almost flew out of his mouth.“What do you mean by 'Prime Source Material has decided to hike the price of their materials?'” He asked to be certain he had not misheard.Novagroup and Prime Source had been partners for years, and there had never been any issues, conflict, or cases like this. In fact, Donald could beat his chest to say they could never face any challenges with the other party.Yet out of the blue, they had done this? Why didn't they inform them far before now?“Yes, boss. I was shocked. We were contacted this morning.” Leo confirmed.The anger Donald was trying to withhold was unleashed. “What nonsense. Do they think they can just do to us what they please and we will just take it like that? So what if their materials are good? Do they think they are the best and can ne
An unfavorable contract
Outside the conference room.“Dad, I am sorry; I didn't mean for this to happen. I am so sorry that I let my habit get the best of me.” Joseph was almost in tears as soon as they got out.He had promised to do better after his past mistakes, yet now it felt like he was worsening things. He didn't just get beaten again; he had lost so much and signed a contract that was being used against them now.Donald looked at him coldly, feeling the urge to smack him in the head, but now wasn't the time. If he gave in to rage right now, it would make Damien easily get what he wanted.“I'll deal with you at home.” He sneered before looking at Lily. She might not be as intelligent as Joseph; she wouldn't have acted so foolishly as he did.“Don't worry, I won't make things easy for them.” He pulled her close and muttered a few things into her ear.The more he spoke, the more her eyes were sparkling in delight.Shortly, she nodded her head, understanding what he was trying to say.“I'll go get it don
But, it doesn't matter
Smack!Damien then proceeded to drop a contract document on the table. No one on the other party except Joseph saw this coming.So that was the plan Damien had all along? To use the betting contract to force them into collaborating with Vantage Materials? “What's the meaning of this?” Donald's brow arched. “Are you pulling a stunt to save yourself or what?” He growled.“Why don't you ask your son? I'm sure he knows what I am talking about!” Damien shifted his gaze to Joseph.The latter shivered as soon as he became the subject of attention.“Dad…he….” Joseph had been thinking of lies to tell his father since yesterday. He didn't sleep, and dark circles formed around his eyes because of the pressure.He never expected Damien to come at them so soon. As he stood there, he began racking his head up; after a while, he thought of something and immediately spoke up.“Last night… I was drunk. He forced me to sign it.” He pointed at Damien as he lamented.“Force you? Did I force you to lose
No one can compare to you
Soon the three of them walked back into the company. Leo and Kai had just stepped out of the elevator, intending to head to a few departments to assign new tasks to the workers, when they saw the man they thought they had chased, walking back in.Kai frowned and wanted to curse when Leo stopped him. His face paled as he looked past Aiden to the young man walking behind him. Undoubtedly, that was the same person who had beaten Lily and Joseph in front of the company the other day, which had caused a huge stir on the internet and made their stock plummet.If the man was here, didn't that mean he had something planned? Also, he was with Aiden? What the heck was going on?“Why are you stopping me from cursing that bastard to death?” Kai complained in displeasure.“Look,” Leo leaned closer to him. “You see that man behind him,” he added, not daring to point at Damien, but at least he expected Kai to know who he was referring to.“You mean that kid?” Kai sized Damien up as he spoke when Le
A small Company
Bang!Bang!Bang!In less than thirty seconds, twenty-five people were sprawled all around in the room, unconscious. Some had broken legs, some broken hands. In summary, they were all in overwhelming pain and as a result, they all passed out. The others, upon seeing this, didn't dare test the waters anymore. Their numbers didn't matter; Damien was a monster who couldn't be stopped. It didn't matter if they rushed at him like a tide; none of them were able to touch his clothes.Even a few men in suits Joseph had come with, thinking they could make a difference, could do nothing.Joseph had sunk back to his chair with crushing defeat in his chest. He couldn't speak a word to motivate the others to attack. They had all lost hope, and all he could see in their eyes was fear. He wasn't any different.Smiling, Damien walked back to where he was and picked up the contract document.“I guess we are done here.” He then looked toward the dealer. Without saying a word, the man knew what was nee

Bang!“Damn it! You cheated! I can swear it. Four games, and you won all. No one can be that lucky.” Joseph stood up and slapped the dice off the table in a fit of rage.His face had become uglier than before, just as Damien had anticipated. “Why did you cheat? That wasn’t the deal!” He pointed at Damien and sneered. Though he could cheat in roulette; all he had to do was ask the dealer to spin the wheel, but in chess, if it were someone else, he would have used his hand to flip the dice to his choice of numbers.But with Damien, he couldn’t dare to do such a thing.“I won. The contract has been signed too. Now I can leave. I do not want to keep playing anymore.” Damien nodded and stood up. He looked at the dealer before continuing.“Convert the cash to chips and send the money to me.” He instructed.“No!” Joseph suddenly bellowed. Damein looked at him only to see his face had contorted with both pain and despair. “We should keep playing!” He continued through gritted teeth. His h
