Extraordinary Jackson Ryder 28: Meeting The Alpha Men!
Jackson woke up the next day to receive a plethora of bad news.Two more malls under Ryder&Wil had caught fire, a supermarket was completely vandalized by hoodlums, and a Hotel was shut down by the government due to careless regard of safety for the public. Jackson sat at the breakfast table for a long time, his mind spinning to different possibilities."Why exactly is this happening at the same time?" His expression grew darker and darker. It couldn't be a mere coincidence.Something has to be wrong somewhere!"Boss, it's almost time for you to leave." Slade interrupted his thoughts. "Have you been able to discover anything about the fire incident that happened at the Serlar Malls?" Jackson asked. "The police are still investigating, and the place has been sealed off public intrusion.""But the way I see it, that investigation will be wrapped up in a few weeks and everything swept under the carpet!" Slade gritted. "Did you meet the manager, staffs or anyone at all?""I did, Boss.

"Ahh, the smell of freshly minted dollar notes turns me on!" The leader of the Alpha Men opened the box to retrieve the wads of cash. "I have a feeling this will be a profitable deal, bring chairs for our guests!" He ordered the others. In no time, table and chairs was set up to the meeting.Jackson and the leader toasting each other to a bottle of wine. "So tell me what you want in exchange for all that cash. We're ready to serve you!""I got this receipt from someone last week." Jackson handed it over. The leader glanced over it lazily, passing it to his men behind. "You guys have an idea what purchase this was?""No.." They all school their heads. Jackson nodded.These men weren't among the people that bought the sculpture and murdered Betty. "Well, that woman took my father's sculpture from his penthouse and sold it to some of your men, I'm only here to offer you this money in exchange for retrieving it. That sculpture means a lot to me!" Jackson said firmly. "Sculpture?" th
Extraordinary Jackson Ryder 30: More Than a Fire Incident!
Jackson and Slade arrived at the center of the city, making their way into the Central Square. The Serlar Malls was located entirely on a separate stretch of road. It used to be a big building containing all sorts of things needed by humans. Now all that was left was a black, scarred building standing like an eyesore. This was millions of dollars burnt down just like that! Anger flowed through Jackson's veins as he stepped past the caution tape into the Mall. The entire walls were covered with soot up to the roof. Burnt residues of shelves, clothes, goods and food stuffs littered the large hall. The bricks partitioning the hall into subsections had totally collapsed. "I'm 100% confident this fire wasn't caused by a cigar and a glass of alcohol." Slade muttered as he picked some soot from the wall to smell it. "The moment I saw the mall from outside, I already discredited that useless excuse!" Jackson nodded, bending to inspect a pile of iron in one corner. It's color seemed d

The next day was a board meeting. Jackson had to set up a presentation concerning the new product to be launched.Everyone listened carefully till he finished before beginning to add their own input."Isn't this going too far?" Xander butted in immediately. "We already have inflation on our hands, and old products are at the risk of getting pro e increased.""This is bad timing for a new product launch, don't you think?" He turned around to ask the others. There was silence before Ernestine spoke up. "Well, if we follow Mr Ryder's logic. We stand to gain more profits with this product, and it will go a long way in clearing our current debts!""Exactly." Mr Kent also nodded. "That's the major issue we should be concerned about. Clearing the debts, so this company doesn't go bankrupt when repayment time comes!""Oh, really?" Keith spoke up. "How sure are we that his hypothesis will be 100% accurate? Let me remind you, the market doesn't work as smoothly as presented in images.""This i
Extraordinary Jackson Ryder 32: Mr Ryder Sold Company Secrets!
Jackson gritted his teeth, making his way out of the security tower. The footage had been tampered by the person behind all this. "What is wrong, sir? Why do you need to find this person?" The head security followed behind him. Jackson looked down at the briefcase in his hand, frowning. "It's nothing, just forget this ever happened."The man hesitated to say something. He nodded briskly and ordered his men back their posts. Jackson returned to the office to reveal the contents of the briefcase. To his chagrin, it contained a few documents with confidential secrets about Wil&Ryder Group. These are things only he and Kenneth should know.And of course, Morgan! How could he forget that traitor? He was the one the woman wanted to meet. Jackson returned all the documents into the briefcase and kept it away. At the end of official hours, he took a community bus intending to go pay Mr Edwin a visit again.Perhaps he would be able to get more answers from him this time. Jackson arriv
Extraordinary Jackson Ryder 33. Jackson Ryder, The Master of Crafts!
The meeting ended with Xander, Nicholas, Isaac Moore, Keith, Jacob and Roman sneering at Jackson like usual. How did he rouse enmity with almost all the board members in less than 2 weeks of him arriving here? Jackson chuckled at himself. Only Ernestine and Kent were neutral to him. And he could tell their opinions of him had shifted negatively from today's event. Jackson was finally able to return to his office without banters and mockery. He settled on his chair, a small smirk on his face. Keith would be worried sick, searching for that flash drive. Yesterday while he was searching the briefcase, he found a flash drive in a secret compartment.The contents was nothing other than Keith's sexual escapades with the woman that delivered it. Jackson had no idea how it got into the box, but he was glad to have found it. It was all making sense now. Keith hired his girlfriend to pretend to want to see Morgan, bump into him and leave the briefcase with him. They didn't factor one
Extraordinary Jackson Ryder 34: Rather Sacrifice Her Mother!
Jackson returned home to go through each of the evidence carefully. Each video he opened was more shocking then the last! Mr Edwin had done a lot of damage to his company. Even the account he was auditing was grossly inaccurate! Ryder&Wil had lost over $3 million dollars in embezzlement, wastage, carelessness and finally in the fire. Jackson refused to be calm, he kept poring glass after glass of alcohol down his throat in an effort to numb the anger. "How could Kenneth be so nonchalant? How did he and those board members not notice the gross mismanagement of funds!" He slammed the glass on the table, eyes red with fury. "They would only be bothered if they weren't gaining from it, Boss." Slade shook his head. "That man is one of the main reasons why your fathers company is in a mess right now!""No wonder we suddenly got $19 million in debts in less than 3 years of my father's death!" Jackson gritted. "This money was meant to be sent to each subsidiary to increase productivity
Extraordinary Jackson Ryder 35: Failure Isn't An Option, Slade!
"Why exactly do you have a woman tied up in here?" Ernestine asked Jackson with a frown. "It's a long story, sirs. I can explain later. For now I need you to help help me convince the press to give 30 minds extra!" Jackson tried to hurry them but the men didn't bulge. "Why do you think we would help you?" Kent asked. "We have no idea what you or we are doing to goodness sake, can you be less mysterious?""I know you'll help me." Jackson said. "Cause you both are the only ones looking out for the interest of the company. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen!"They both frowned hard, exchanging glances. "You have to assure us that none of this will end up backfiring!""I give you my word." Jackson replied hurriedly. "And untie that woman!" Kent ordered. Craig quickly did as ordered. As both men left, Jackson hurries back to Slade's side. "How many minutes left?""20." Slade was already sweating, trying to keep up with the code required to hack through the high security walls.
