The Man’s Decree

Chapter 138 Cut The Crap

“Of course not! I’ll do as you ordered, Mr. Jennings!”

Zayne naturally didn’t dare go against Xavier since the latter was his immediate superior. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

When he had left, Xavier slowly picked up his phone and made a call.

“It’s done, Mr. Scott. I’ll be sending Jared to discuss the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical.”

“Haha… Great job! Do as I say, and I’ll give you double the amount the Sullivan family is paying you!”

A burst of gleeful laughter came from the other end of the phone, and the person hung up right after he had finished speaking.

The person Xavier phoned was none other than Leyton. Not only was he aware of the grudge between Jared and Leyton, but he knew that the former’s girlfriend had been snatched away by the latter.

In Horington, the power and influence of the Sullivan and Scott families were equal. Besides that, they were also rivals. The Scott family had once tried to poach him by offering him an exorbitant salary, but he had feelings for Josephine and wanted to date her, so he declined.

But after the failure of the assassination attempt on Jared last night and having suffered a slap instead, his fury skyrocketed, and he contacted Leyton.

It was actually Leyton’s idea to have Jared handle the negotiation of the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical, and his goal was to humiliate the man. After all, an insignificant sales representative like Jared couldn’t possibly clinch a huge client such as Cosmic Chemical. All Leyton would have to do then was personally pay Cosmic Chemical a visit and heap insults on him.

Presently, Leyton was still recuperating in a hospital room in Horington.

“There’s no need to be over the moon just because of such a trivial matter, Ley! Jared isn’t worthy of having you target him so deliberately. He’s just an ant to you and is nothing at all without Josephine’s protection!” Sandy crowed in delight when she saw Leyton’s jubilation.

“He broke my arm, so I naturally have to answer the challenge. I want to make his life a living hell and torture him slowly…”

The corners of Leyton’s mouth lifted slightly, and his eyes brimmed with menace.

“Ley, you’re not his match since he has some fighting skills. Besides, Tommy isn’t the least bit reliable! I think you’ll have to employ a few other martial arts experts if you want to take him down,” Sandy suggested.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone to contact the Crimson Dragon Gang. Tommy’s Templar Regiment isn’t the only organization in the whole of Horington. Crimson Dragon Gang is just as illustrious as Templar Regiment, so it’s more than sufficient to deal with him.”

Leyton knew full well that he wasn’t Jared’s match, and it wouldn’t do him any good to seek Tommy out either. For that reason, he had someone contact the Crimson Dragon Gang.

While the Scott family was exceedingly powerful in Horington, they were just involved in business dealings. They weren’t all that familiar with gangs such as the Crimson Dragon Gang, which was why they needed a middleman to facilitate a meeting.

“Ley, I’d also like to go for the negotiation of the collaboration when the time comes. I want to see how pathetic Jared would look then! He dared to act all high and mighty with Josephine backing him up back then, so I want to see whether he can still maintain his domineering demeanor now!”

Sandy teetered on the verge of flipping her lid whenever she recalled how Jared humiliated her back then.

“Sure! Just watch as I crush him under my foot!”

Leyton guffawed triumphantly.

At the sales department, Zayne really couldn’t fathom why Xavier would give Jared such an important client. However, he had no choice but to execute the man’s order when he had said as much.

“Jared, you’re lucky that all the arrears were suddenly repaid in full. However, as a qualified sales representative, not only do you have to be able to collect arrears but also negotiate collaborations. Therefore, you’ve got to learn to do so. And according to the rules, you—”

“Cut the crap and just spit it out!” Jared barked impatiently.

He was probably the only person who dared speak to Zayne in such a manner.

Zayne’s expression darkened when he heard that, and he almost burst a blood vessel. Yet, he didn’t dare fire the man without a valid reason since he wasn’t sure what Xavier’s plan was.

“The company has decided to put you in charge of negotiating the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical. Cosmic Chemical is considered the biggest company in the cosmetics industry in Horington, so if you manage to clinch the collaboration, the commission will be a sum beyond your imagination! However, if you ruin things—”
