Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Unkind and Unjust_1
“Miss Huntington! How did it go?”
Seeing the call from Itai Huntington pop up on the phone, Arvid Woody excitedly answered.
Just now, he had made calls to three people in a row, but not a single one answered.
This only made Arvid Woody more worried.
If something happened to people under his watch, he, as the deputy general manager, could hardly shirk responsibility.
And it was Emperor’s Hall at that!
He had chatted with a few friends not long ago, talking about Aron Jackson.
This was a devil who killed without blinking an eye!
He was ruthless and cold-blooded in his actions.
In Gonzalez City, it was better to offend the King of Hell than to offend Aron Jackson!
Offending the King of Hell would at worst send you to the eighteenth level of hell.
But offending Aron Jackson might send you to the nineteenth level!
Now that his own staff had offended someone even more fearsome than the King of Hell, how could he not panic?
“Miss Huntington, don’t worry about the money!”
Hearing that Itai Huntington on the other end of the line did not speak, Arvid Woody thought she was waiting for him to bring up the money.
After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and paying money to avoid disaster is only normal.
If a bit of money could smooth things over, he would feel at ease.
Now, with less than ten minutes’ drive left to Emperor’s Hall, even Arvid Woody himself was getting worried.
Especially that phrase on the phone, whoever comes will die.
It sent a chill down his spine.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Woody.”
After a moment of silence, Itai Huntington took a deep breath and spoke in a very apologetic tone, “I’m afraid I can’t help with this.”
What kind of tough character was Julius Reed?
He even dared to stand firm against Jennifer Lopez!
And it seemed he did not come off worse!
He even took away three billion!
What could she possibly say to such a character?
If she offended Julius Reed because of this, the loss would outweigh the gain!
The more powerful a person is, the more you should befriend them.
That way, you could avoid a major threat.
“What! Miss Huntington, you’re the chairwoman of the business alliance, who in Gonzalez City would dare not to give you face? Moreover, even if Aron Jackson is powerful, he can’t just refuse to give you any consideration at all!”
Arvid Woody simply couldn’t believe it!
Itai Huntington was such a powerful woman, known even as the Widow of Absolute Death.
Even without the title of chairwoman of the business alliance, she held certain sway in Gonzalez City.
Not to mention her current important position.
Could it be because she felt he wasn’t sincere enough?
“Miss Huntington, as long as this matter is resolved, money is no object! Really, I can assure you, money is absolutely not the problem! I have already communicated with the higher-ups, and repairing the relationship with Aron Jackson is the top priority. As long as you are willing to help, no amount of money is too much!”
Arvid Woody spoke anxiously.
The three agents were showy on normal days; it would be good for them to suffer a bit and learn their lesson.
But if they offended Aron Jackson, how could their concert go on?
Nando Brandon currently had a top-notch ability to attract money. As long as this concert could be successfully carried out, what would the money given to Itai Huntington amount to afterward?
Gonzalez City is a coastal city after all, with highly developed transportation.
This time Nando Brandon held a concert, one hundred thousand tickets sold out in two seconds!
The cheapest tickets online, which cost over five hundred, were actually scalped for over three thousand!
A single concert would bring in a huge profit!
If this concert were to fall through, then his career at Enlighten Group might well be on a countdown.
“Mr. Woody!”
Itai Huntington took a deep breath, striving to remain calm: “We know each other, after all and even reached consensus on matters of cooperation between us. If I could help, I, Itai Huntington, definitely would!”
With that, she said helplessly, “But the person you’ve provoked this time is someone even Aron Jackson would not dare to provoke.”
Itai Huntington had sent people to investigate the relationship between Julius Reed and Aron Jackson.
The initial guess would be the best friend.
Upon hearing Julius Reed’s voice just now, Itai Huntington felt something was amiss.
Normally, this boy always had a playful and smiley demeanor, even responding joyfully to her own jokes.
But today, she felt as if she had encountered a stranger she had never met before.
That phrase “under my feet” was enough to illustrate Julius Reed’s attitude.
Itai Huntington did not think she could demand people from the other party’s staff.
“Who is that person! How can there be someone like that!”
Aron Woody asked out loud, feeling extremely shocked!
Since arriving in Gonzalez City, it seemed he had never heard of such a person.
“Gonzalez City’s wealthiest, Ovidiu Cook?”
After a long thought, he could only think of this one person.
Ovidiu Cook, chairman of Titan Group, and the wealthiest man in Gonzalez City.
In public, the most powerful person in Gonzalez City.
Behind the scenes, it was then Aron Jackson.
Together, one in the light and one in the shadow, they became one of the two leading forces of Gonzalez City.
Since it wasn’t Aron Jackson, it naturally occurred to Arvid Woody that it must be Ovidiu Cook.
This wealthiest man of Gonzalez City, he had never met in person!
The Enlighten Group might be significant, but not everyone was willing to give them face.
“This person is probably not someone Ovidiu Cook can afford to offend,”
sighed Itai Huntington, “Give up, I advise you, if you offend this person, you will regret it for life!”
After saying this, she hung up the phone.
“Damn it! What the hell is going on!”
Aron Woody cursed!
“Manager, I have a hypothesis. Could it be that they know how important this concert is to the Enlighten Group and deliberately joined hands to double-cross us?”
The assistant frowned and said, “In Gonzalez City, only Aron Jackson, Ovidiu Cook, and Itai Huntington are the most powerful. How could there be someone even more powerful? They are all just after more money, trying to scam us!”
With his words, Arvid Woody felt that he made sense.
Someone more formidable than Aron Jackson, that’s nonsense, right?
If there really was such a person, how come he never heard about it?
It must be the locals joining forces, wanting to rip them off!
“What do you think?”
Arvid Woody looked at his assistant.
“This matter is quite simple. The reason Aron Jackson isn’t here is that he wants to avoid suspicion! Once this gets out, it won’t affect him anyway. He’s not here after all,”
the assistant said as he pushed up his glasses, and chuckled hehe, “Let’s turn their tactics against them! He’s not here, right? We’ll directly call the police. I remember you just told me that Houston Green’s arm was broken?”
“Right! I heard screams, and before the call was cut off, I think I heard Dimitri Leopold’s cry of pain.”
Arvid Woody nodded, which was also the reason for his current urgency.
It seems the other party had gotten serious.
“Then call the police! This is intentional injury! When the police enter Azure Dragon Hall and take away the person who injured our group’s staff member, let’s see what Aron Jackson has to say!”
The assistant proudly said, “When that time comes, he will have no choice but to thickly praise you, General Whitaker, for helping him solve the problem, and he will also have to ensure the concert goes smoothly. Otherwise, public opinion will say he’s retaliating!”
“Great idea!”
Arvid Woody slapped his thigh and said coldly, “Since you’ve been unkind to me, don’t blame me for being unjust! Aron Jackson, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
After speaking, he took out his phone and dialed the emergency number, “Hello, is this the police station? My friend has been attacked at Bronze Sparrow Platform, Azure Dragon Hall. Please send someone quickly.”
PS: With the New Year approaching, there are some matters at home, which have caused the updates over the past few days to be inconsistent.
I apologize to everyone here.
About the updates, I update around nine o’clock every evening. Due to the review mechanism, chapters after eleven might appear the next morning.
