"Renting 4 floors for 8 million dollars a year?" Rachel was quite surprised at such a low price.She looked at Dr. Regis and nodded her head. "That's right, this 20-story building, we rented it from the 3rd floor to the 6th floor for 8 million dollars."Shawn was silent as they talked to each other like that. The chatter between businessmen made it difficult for Shawn to get inside. He just took the fried chicken thighs that he ordered earlier to have lunch together with Rachel and her subordinates.Rachel and Jerome seemed to be having a serious conversation with Regis, while Morris listened as he picked at the chicken several times.Rachel shook her head. "That's so cheap, I can't even make such a great offer."Regis smiled. "We just got lucky. We were finally able to get this building even though it's only 4 floors because the upper floors still have tenants."Shawn nodded. It was true, Shawn had previously planned to rent the entire building, but Regis prevented him because it wa
"Apparently the new company boss doesn't understand what the rules are yet. Do you want me to explain it again?" Murphy said this while opening his eyes wide, as if intimidating Shawn.Shawn folded his arms across his chest. "No, I'm not a fool who can't understand a child's game like this."Murphy's under-eye twitched a few times. "So, you don't want to pay these dues?"Shawn did not answer immediately. He just looked at Murphy coldly without answering anything. Regis didn't respond either because Regis had been in danger many times, so this kind of thing was no stranger to him.Unlike Morris who started to get scared and swallowed his saliva. Morris was still traumatized by the loan sharks, of course he was traumatized by the threat of people collecting money.Morris seemed to be hiding behind Regis while holding his shirt. "Regis, how is it?"Regis glanced back and whispered. "Relax, Morris. Shawn is more than capable of dealing with people like this."Morris looked at Regis who sm
"Shawn! It's bad! Hurry up and come to the office!" Morris spoke frantically over the phone while Shawn was eating his breakfast. From the sound of it, something urgent had happened. "You have to see what's going on here!"Shawn glanced to his right side, where he had taped his cell phone. "What's going on?"Morris' breathing sounded ragged. "I don't know what happened, but all of our stuff in the office was destroyed! It's so bad, almost all of the furniture that Mrs. Rachel gave us has been broken. It looks like we've been robbed!"Shawn took a deep breath and let it out. "I'll be right there."Shawn then hung up the phone. His forehead wrinkled slightly as his face reddened slightly. When he glanced over, he saw Rachel who had been staring at him.Rachel was a little confused about what was going on with Shawn. Shawn's face implied that he was in a slightly shaken state. "Why are you surly like that? Don't tell me you're causing trouble again. You just started a business and are he
At night, a silhouette of a person was sneaking towards Shawn's office. He approached the door and opened it softly. With a slight smile, he approached the few pieces of furniture that were still there. He raised his hand, preparing to do something to the cupboard.However, before she could do so, a loud clap sounded. Instantly the lights in the room turned on and made the man cover his eyes from the glare."I knew you'd come." Shawn's voice came from the center of the room.It turned out that the man sneaking around was Murphy. He was quite surprised to see Shawn still there. And not only Shawn, but there were still several other people including Pedro.Murphy looked at them carefully. It turned out that they were Regis, Morris, and 6 other people who were representatives from other companies in this building. They gathered in this place which of course made Murphy confused.He looked at Shawn who was standing while folding his arms in front of his chest. "Why are you here?"Shawn re
"It's not my fault! Shut up all of you!" Murphy shouted with bulging eyes. Everyone in front of him instantly fell silent. He looked at the people in front of him one by one. "I didn't commit a crime. Don't just take that guy's word for it!"Murphy pointed at Shawn, but everyone in front of him didn't care. They were still glaring at Murphy because their money was now in his hands.Edgar, a businessman who owned a business on the second floor stared coldly at Murphy. "Oh yeah? Didn't you take my money for these 3 months? I haven't made any profit in the 3 months I've been in business because you've been taking the money! Stop your nonsense and give me back my money!"That remark made the other people protest to Murphy again. They all demanded with bulging eyes and anger. Murphy looked at Shawn angrily. Shawn only gave a slight smile.Murphy felt that there was no point in convincing these people that Shawn was telling lies. He swallowed and tried to look at these people. However, his
"How arrogant of you. You're just the owner of a new company." Murphy looked sarcastically at Shawn. Right now, Murphy hated it when Shawn called him a cheater. However, Shawn did not budge. He remained unchanged from his position and was still dominating this conversation.Murphy thought that he should be able to take advantage of this situation. He could already create evidence that this building had a robbery case. Murphy didn't want him to be the guilty one here and let Shawn destroy him.Murphy clucked his mouth. "Your company, I'm sure it won't last long. Your arrogance will destroy you. Soon you'll be bankrupt. Your company is weaker than these people's."Shawn looked at him coldly. He let out a long breath. Murphy's words made him think about it a little, especially since Shawn didn't know what his company would be like. However, he quickly dismissed the thought and tried to think logically again.Shawn gave a small nod. "Right, I don't know about the future of my company beca
"Shit!" Murphy almost fell over. He immediately stood up straight and looked at Shawn. They stared at each other. The more Murphy looked at Shawn, the more his anger rose. To Murphy, what happened today was because of Shawn. He was the one who had dared to unmask his crime and put him in a dangerous position like now. If Murphy didn't run away now, then Murphy would be punished by his big boss. What's more, Murphy would probably have to deal with the law.Shawn glanced at Pedro who was on the ground. "You're very rude, Murphy. Even though he's the owner of this place. I'm even more convinced that you're not a good person."Pedro immediately stood up and angrily glared at Murphy. "You bastard! Is this how you behave? Are you a gangster?"Not accepting being called a gangster, Murphy kicked Pedro away. This rude treatment took everyone in the room by surprise.Murphy had nothing else to think about, he had to get out of there somehow. He grabbed the pen that was in his pocket. Then he
"What are you doing? Why are you doing that to me?" Murphy yelled at Shawn for not accepting his treatment. His eyes bulged until they were red.While Shawn gave Murphy a cold stare and only looked down on Murphy. "I called your boss here. You're just running a branch company, right?"Murphy gasped. It turned out that Shawn had done some research on the company run by Murphy. It was true, Murphy had a boss who hired him. However, hearing that Murphy chuckled.To Murphy's knowledge, his boss liked Murphy's work so much that he handed over the branch company to him. Shawn calling his boss here meant that Shawn was digging his own grave.Murphy chuckled. "Fool... do you think you've won, asshole? An asshole like you will never win against me! You're just digging your own grave. I'll be sure to sue you and make you a deterrent--"Shawn slapped Murphy's cheek again. This time his mouth was bleeding. Suddenly Murphy was even more enraged. "You bastard! How dare you do something like that!"
