Chapter 483: Chapter 483: At My Feet_1
“Mr. Reed, what exactly do you mean?”
Osby Michael kept asking, how could promises be retracted?
They couldn’t be retracted!
He had fought tooth and nail for all of this, just to survive, but now!
Were his hopes to be dashed?
“I say what I mean,”
Julius Reed said, smiling.
“Then you…”
Before Osby Michael could finish speaking, Houston Green suddenly shouted, “If we’re going to die, let’s go together! No one is getting out of this alive!”
After his shout, Houston Green took an iron spike and thrust it straight through Osby Michael’s throat and carotid artery.
“You… you… didn’t die…”
Osby Michael’s body trembled, and after uttering those final words, he fell to the ground, motionless.
…
“General Whitaker, what the hell is going on?”
The assistant from Enlighten Group sat in the backseat of the Mercedes, looking at the sweating Arvid Woody.
The deputy general manager, after receiving a phone call, rushed urgently toward Phoenix Terrace, looking extremely anxious.
“Dimitri Leopold and the others, they’ve run into trouble! We have to go rescue them fast!”
Arvid Woody pulled out his phone, starting to think about whom to call for help.
In Gonzalez City, the toughest was Aron Jackson, but that didn’t mean others didn’t have clout.
Phoenix Terrace happened to be Aron Jackson’s property, so Arvid Woody made him the first call.
“Hello, is this Phoenix Terrace? I am the deputy general manager of Enlighten Group, Arvid Woody.”
“Sorry, Aron Jackson is out on business, please call back later,”
Upon hearing Arvid Woody introduce himself, the front desk clerk didn’t say a second word and hung up the phone.
“What the… Fuck! What does that mean!”
Arvid Woody cursed.
Since coming here, he’d dealt with Aron Jackson many times, given money and women.
Now his own people had an incident at Phoenix Terrace, yet he had no way to contact the owner there.
How could he not be infuriated?
“General Whitaker, what if you try someone else?”
The assistant suggested at his side.
Someone as important as Aron Jackson was seldom free to take a call.
Moreover, with the entire group’s busy schedule, tracking Aron Jackson’s whereabouts indeed was difficult.
“Fine! Then I’ll call the chairman of the Business Alliance, Itai Huntington!”
Arvid Woody tentatively began searching for Itai Huntington’s number.
Although the chairman of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance was a renowned figure, Arvid Woody had a rather pleasant time discussing a partnership with her.
The widow of deadly repute, frightening to hear of, didn’t seem that intimidating and actually had a certain charm.
After the call went through, it was quickly answered.
“General Whitaker, what can I do for you? Is it about the partnership we discussed last time?”
Itai Huntington’s voice came through the receiver, full of vigor.
“It’s like this.”
Arvid Woody organized his thoughts and began, “My people, they’ve run into a bit of trouble at Phoenix Terrace, I can’t get through on the phone, can’t contact anyone, and Aron Jackson isn’t at Phoenix Terrace. I was hoping you…”
“What trouble have they caused?”
Itai Huntington’s tone dropped, clearly sensing the seriousness of the situation.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, in Gonzalez City, no one can call on Aron Jackson. If there’s trouble in his place, Aron Jackson won’t ignore it. Your people must have crossed Aron Jackson.”
Upon hearing this, Arvid Woody realized.
Right, who dared to cause a scene at Aron Jackson’s stronghold?
Even strangers causing trouble there would be thrown out, or worse, put in danger!
Did they have a death wish, stirring up trouble at Phoenix Terrace?
Forget Aron Jackson, any group’s boss wouldn’t tolerate such an incident.
And he had just tried calling Aron Jackson, and the man was not there!
What a coincidence, huh?
“Miss Huntington, if that is really the case, then I can only beg you for help! Today, it’s you lending a hand, and I assure you, you most certainly won’t be working in vain.”
General Whitaker’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his assistant kept wiping it off.
Offending Aron Jackson in Gonzalez City can have very serious consequences.
It now seems that the only person who could talk to Aron Jackson was Itai Huntington.
“Miss Huntington, I beg you, please help!”
Although the three agents weren’t exceptionally outstanding, they were still under his leadership; how would he explain this back at the company?
Moreover, the concert hadn’t even started, and the whole Enlighten Group had put in countless efforts and resources to plan Nando Brandon’s concert!
After offending Aron Jackson, could this concert still go on?
The only option was to ask Itai Huntington to mediate this.
The chairman of the Gonzalez City Business Alliance did have that much clout.
“I will try my best, but I can’t guarantee if I can persuade the person in question. If indeed I manage to persuade them, it’s going to cost you a lot.”
After a moment of silence, Itai Huntington spoke up.
“That’s fine! Money is not an issue! Rest assured, Miss Huntington, I’m now waiting for your news!”
General Whitaker was ecstatic.
The matter of money could be settled by those three agents!
After all, the Enlighten Group was wealthy, and these three had also made a lot of money for the company in the past.
Now, connecting with Aron Jackson and resolving the misunderstanding was of the utmost importance.
After the concert ended, would he still care about these issues?
After hanging up the phone, Itai Huntington hesitated for a moment before nonetheless dialing Julius Reed’s number.
She thought this was an opportunity for Julius Reed to connect with the executives of Enlighten Group and possibly get Nando Brandon to endorse them.
It would prevent him from being too harshly oppressed by Bran Cook.
For the same reason, she needed two powers to check each other, so she could thrive in between.
If any side became too strong, that wouldn’t be good for her.
“Hello, is this the employee brother? Missing your sister yet?”
After getting through to Julius Reed, Itai Huntington still greeted him with her signature flirtatious tone.
To her, these trivialities were nothing at all.
“Any issue?”
Julius Reed asked, his voice sounding.
His tone was very indifferent.
“What’s wrong?”
Even across the phone, Itai Huntington could feel the bone-chilling cold.
“If there’s nothing, then I’ll hang up.”
Julius Reed said indifferently.
“The thing is…”
Itai Huntington took a deep breath, feeling an inexplicable pressure.
“Someone… someone has caused trouble at the Bronze Sparrow Platform, and I suspect they have provoked Aron Jackson. As far as I know, you seem to have a good relationship with Aron Jackson, and moreover, the person in question is from Enlighten Group. Their artist, Nando Brandon, is holding a concert in Gonzalez City.”
“If you’re willing to help with this, I believe they would also be happy to have Nando Brandon do the endorsement. Then, when facing Bran Cook, you will hold the upper hand.”
Itai Huntington got straight to the point, without any hemming and hawing.
It was the first time she had ever felt that Julius Reed was like this, frightening.
He was indifferent like a machine.
“Those people didn’t provoke Aron Jackson.”
Julius Reed stated without a hint of emotion in his voice.
“How… how do you know?”
Itai Huntington was surprised.
Did Julius Reed not even need to make a phone call to ask? Or was it that he was currently with Aron Jackson?
If that were the case, then who in the world dared to cause trouble at the Bronze Sparrow Platform?
Aron Jackson didn’t know about it?
“Because they are under my feet.”
Right after Julius Reed finished speaking, Itai Huntington’s phone ‘clattered’ to the ground.
