Chapter 007

Rodrigo Johnson,brother to Richard’s father and a mayor in the city approached from behind.

Mr John didn’t flinch, he isn’t higher than him in social status and additionally he has the support of the General. “I ordered them, he was rude and I teach him a lesson”

Mr Rodrigo was shocked by his swift response, even though he is not of inferior social status; he should at least fear his political influence.

“But you should know better as a business man in this town, you should avoid stepping on the wrong foot as much as you can” he threatened

Mr john unbothered by his words “that is my decision to make”

Richard still using hand to rub his cheek, avoiding eye contact towards Antonio.

Mr Rodrigo felt the need to save Richard's face since he arrived at the perfect time with good news; one he think will taunt Mr. John also.

“Stand firm Richard, it has been confirmed, the greatest union is taking place first week of next month”

Richard's face lit up in joy, the date was finally out, and he can do proper announcement to his colleague, this was the perfect moment. “Really uncle? We can’t wait!”

“Yes, and it is the prestigious Radisson gardens, it is going to be the talk of the town as lots of world powerhouses will attend, a good way to build endless connections in business,” he concluded, giving Mr John a deadly glare.

“wow Radisson Garden?’

“Isn’t that the top rated event Centre in kingstonian”

“it is an exclusive owned luxury gardened, heard every part of it is heavenly”

“Not upto thirty families can afford to make reservation at Radisson in whole of kingstonian”

“Which means the invite would be very strict”

“Please give me an invite”

“Please I need one too”

“Please count me in I need to represent my family”

Multiple murmurings filled the air, Richard and Jennifer were all smiling again, As Rodrigo had lit up their mood.

Jennifer look round the table” everyone will surely get an invite, only lowlife and peasant don’t dare seek one”

“They can’t even been seen two kilometer near Radisson, they can spread disease” Richard added

The other colleagues laughed at their joke, all to earn their favor.

Antonio emptied his cup and placed it on the table, he sighs before proceeding” how are you confident to book a reservation at Radisson Gardens?”

“You can never understand,” Jennifer cuts in. “peasant like you can’t understand what it take to be able to book the prestigious Radisson gardens”

Antonio stood up, offered his hand to Meghan and helped her up, preparing to leave. He turned to them, his voice firm “Now I’ll give it to you straight, you are not getting a booking at Radisson and there is nothing you can do about it” he turned to leave.

He was five step away when Rodrigo voice shake the hall.

“How dare you blab in front of the mayor!, where do you think you are going”

Mr John securities were positioned to stop any advances towards Antonio as he exit the building

************************************************

Techcity, the number one company in the whole of Kingstonian and number three in the world with a workforce of 80,000 employees, over 25,000 servers on a world class building in the city.

Ever since Antonio took over, they have expanded in all areas as he assigned Benjamin to see through the affairs. They are so instrumental and powerful to the point that the majority of Kinstonian data pass through them.

With that, no one could risk getting in trouble with Techcity and their CEO have always remained anonymous to the majority.

For the first time since Arrival Antonio will be visiting his biggest company. This was after he got notified that Sylvester had attempted several background checks on him.

“I know the sylvesters are action takers, what did they find?” he asked

Janet Parker, head of operations chuckled “Sir, I guess you have underestimated our abilities, it is impossible they find anything about your past. The only available online is the information you provided us”

“So basically, they know that I work here as an intern?”

“Yes sir, as you instructed” Mrs janet replied

Antonio smiled “then I think I should get ready to receive guest”

“Sir, no one or any entities dare to storm in here “

“Well I don’t mind them coming, I want to toy with them, to make them feel they are in control before destroying them completely. No matter how I view it, I still haven’t arrived at the best punishment for this evil people for what they did to my family”

Benjamin sighed, he understood his worries, his struggles over the years. “Sir, you don’t have to worry, you are the strongest General that conquered the Eastern border at a young age. You could strike these people at once. But we stand with you and believe in your methods”

Antonio was glad to be surrounded by able minds. He suddenly remembers he hasn’t gotten an update on the remaining two pieces. “Any word on Gordon?”

“Last we checked he’s still laying low after his last crime at a casino, but signal are on him to pick him up as soon as he’s back” one of the tech guy in the vvip control room answered.

“The Kingstonian Knight will be back in the country next week,” another added.

“I guess I’ll be busy next week then” he said, moving around as he patted his staff by the shoulder.

Next week is the time scheduled by some elite in Kingstonian to meet with The General. A lot has been curious to know who the young and powerful general is. And they can’t wait to have him on their side to elevate their social status. The Kingstonian knights are one of the people that seek the General.

Aside from Benjamin and Mrs Janet parker; only six from the special unit know Antonio as the general and Ceo identity and it is because those six are military products.

Antonio's eyes met with the wall clock and he suddenly remembered he got where to go. He quickly wraps things up , instructing Benjamin to direct him through the back exit. He uses the back exit to avoid drama from the staffs who don’t know his identity and some might want to trespass.

Aside from not wanting drama, he is saving them their job.

Meghan has been waiting for him, he promises her a date and it was meant to be a surprise. Taking her to Radisson for a date, at a time Richard and Jennifer would be visiting to confirm their reservation. He had one more surprise in store for Meghan and can’t wait for it all to unfold.

His strides to the backdoor however stopped when the live CCTV footage played a loud noise coming from downstairs. “Provide that lowlife intern who dares to disrupt my event! I need him now!!”
