Christian felt that this was highly inappropriate. He knew John was the new leader who replaced the former leader, Paul. However, he was unaware that John did not inherit Paul’s wealth, causing John to face quite a bit of difficulty at the beginning of his leadership.The current situation made Christian feel sad because he hadn’t paid enough attention to his subordinates.Christian pointed towards Rhys, signaling him to come closer.Rhys quickly walked towards Christian. “Is there something I can help with, Mr. Demetri?”“Tomorrow morning, go to the materials store, buy supplies for renovating the headquarters. And find people who can renovate, anyone. I want this headquarters to be comfortable for all of you. I’ll provide the money for the renovation costs until it’s completed,” Christian said.Rhys responded quickly, “Alright, ready to execute, Sir!”Christian nodded. Then he sat on a single sofa to accept the invitation for coffee.“Mr. Demetri, wouldn’t it be better to renovate i
The issue with these amateur journalists needed to be swiftly resolved by Christian. Regret for not taking them seriously now weighed on him.Christian reached for his phone, but seeing that it was already 12:30 AM, he put it back down.“Tomorrow, I’ll instruct Darrell and his team to find those journalists. They can’t be allowed to roam freely. The longer, the more insolent!” Christian said with a trembling voice, holding back his anger.“They indeed need to be taught a lesson. But I think they are dangerous people. Whoever dares to spread false accusations must have strong support behind them. Sir, you don’t need to put yourself in danger because of my problems. Honestly, I’m okay with it, Sir. I’m just doubtful about the contract agreement between me and Mrs. Yvette,” Claudia said.Christian smiled. Then he said, “You just relax. I won’t intervene directly unless Darrell and his team can’t handle it.”Claudia remained silent without any reaction.“Alright, now go back to your room
Christian was truly surprised by what his receptionist told him. A horde of journalists had arrived to confirm the news about forcibly taking over the Kowalska company from Zofia’s hands.It was understandable that Christian was shocked because this issue had already been resolved thoroughly by Darrell.“All security personnel, push them back a bit from the lobby entrance. If that’s not enough, tell Darrell’s men to help, just say it’s on orders from Mr. Demetri. I’ll be there shortly!” Christian exclaimed.“Understood, Mr. Demetri!” replied the receptionist.After ending the call, Christian looked at Darrell with a puzzled expression.Darrell realized it, and he asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Demetri? Is something urgent happening?”“There’s a bunch of journalists in front of the company lobby. They all want to interview me regarding the news that I’ve taken control of Kowalska through dirty means. They all want confirmation directly from me,” explained Christian.Darrell was, of course,
Both the security personnel who joined Darrell’s crew and the journalists felt the heat. Fisticuffs were unavoidable, even for someone like Diego.In truth, the man wanted to intervene, but a raw punch landed on his cheek, preventing him from holding back his temper.Witnessing the scene, Darrell shook his head and promptly approached the commotion to break it up.“Stop everything!” Darrell shouted.The heavy voice of a man thundered, silencing everyone immediately, not just Darrell’s crew, but also the journalists.“Diego! Withdraw the troops! Including the company security personnel!” Darrell commanded.Diego nodded his head. He then immediately ordered all his subordinates to step back. He also pulled back the company security officers as if he were their leader.While Diego carried out his duties, Darrell dealt with the journalists.“I believe you all know who I am, so I won’t introduce myself again,” Darrell said.A journalist, appearing to be in his forties but still working in
Christian leaned his body closer to Godfrey until the tips of their dress shoes touched.“Oh really? How do you know that Yvette doesn’t acknowledge that relationship? Have you ever interviewed her?” Christian asked in a low but intimidating voice.Godfrey’s facial expression immediately changed. His arrogance now appeared slightly uneasy.“Um... I was just guessing. Do you believe that your wife is the mistress of The Protector?” Godfrey said hesitantly.His demeanor clearly indicated that he was involved in the slander case involving Yvette.“Oh really? Maybe you should become a witch instead. It seems like you’re more talented in that than being a journalist!” Christian remarked.“What do you mean? Just take care of yourself. Be a useful husband to your wife!” Godfrey said, avoiding eye contact. He dared not meet Christian’s gaze.Godfrey did this to conceal his own secret. He knew that if his secret were revealed now, he wouldn’t survive because there was someone named Darrell bes
The idea proposed by Godfrey was like a groundbreaking discovery in the field of physics. Both Godfrey and Adolf were equally thrilled about the idea.“Well then, contact Kairos as soon as possible. You need to make a deal with him because if we can hold onto him, we’ll be safe. Moreover, we’ll gain a lot if we can establish a good relationship with him,” said Adolf.“Alright, Mr. Adolf, I’ll contact Kairos right away. Fortunately, I have his personal assistant’s phone number,” replied Godfrey.Adolf nodded approvingly, saying, “Good! Go ahead, don’t waste any more time.”After that, Godfrey left the editor-in-chief’s office to contact Kairos Ashford, his personal assistant.In Adolf’s office, he smiled broadly. He was very pleased with Godfrey, who always found a way out of every problem.“Adolf will never lose! I am destined to be a winner, not a loser. Not even a Darrell can destroy me!” Adolf exclaimed confidently. His facial expression was very arrogant. If someone else were to s
Wenzel repeatedly glanced sharply in Claudia’s direction, issuing a threat for her to stay silent.However, Claudia was not at all afraid of the threats Wenzel was giving. She didn’t know what the man would do if she spoke up, but she was prepared to face the consequences.“I’m not comfortable with the news I’m about to bring because it hasn’t been confirmed for its accuracy and has the potential to tarnish someone’s reputation,” Claudia said without hesitation. “For over 15 minutes, Mr. Wenzel and I have been discussing this. And up to this point, I still refuse to read the news.”Fortunately, they weren’t broadcasting live. They recorded it first and would present it tomorrow morning. Although it had to be delayed for more time, it wouldn’t have much impact.“So, news about whom and what?” Yvette asked, turning to Claudia and Wenzel alternately.Wenzel was about to answer the question, but Claudia beat him to it.“So, this is actually about the acquisition issue of Kowalska Company
Hearing a strong knock always piqued Darrell’s curiosity. In New York, he considered himself the strongest and best supporter. No one could rival him except for the other four prominent families and, of course, Christian.However, neither the four prominent families nor Christian could be a supporter. They were above the social chain in New York, with no interest in such matters.“No. This person is neither from the military nor the police. He is a conglomerate,” explained Diego.Darrell became more confused and speculated about the identity of this person.“Are they from one of the four prominent families?” Darrell asked.Diego shook his head. Then he said, “No! But—”“Darrell, who’s knocking on my door? Tell them to come in!” Christian exclaimed, cutting off Diego.Darrell glanced at the graphics and allowed his subordinate to meet Christian and report the information directly.Diego nodded and walked in.“Good afternoon, Mr. Demetri. I apologize for interrupting your time. I have t
