Chapter 210
Chapter 210:
He hadn’t anticipated that someone from Sup Group was behind it.
Noticing the serious expression on Ashton’s face, Slater pressed on, “In truth, Jacoby from Sup Group is a notorious playboy. He’s only been sent to the branch company in Inewood for the experience. That’s why he staged the attack on Skyline Group—to boost the reputation of their branch!”
Seeing that Ashton seemed intrigued, Slater seized the opportunity. With a hurried, flattering tone, he added, “Mr. Baldwin, I know I’ve made a grave mistake this time. To make amends, I’m willing to do anything for you. I can even act as your informant and provide any information you need. Just let us go, and I’ll offer you everything I can!”
Slater’s proposal piqued Ashton’s interest.
After all, his family resided in Tacland, and he wasn’t entirely familiar with the intricacies of Staville. This Jacoby, who had come from Staville, could potentially bring some complications to his business. To successfully complete the trial set by his family, Ashton needed to learn more about all of his adversaries. After contemplating for a moment, Ashton released his grip on Slater and said, “I’ll give you a chance, but remember, no one here should ever disclose my identity.”
As he finished speaking, Ashton picked up the knife that Slater had dropped on the ground. With a simple flick of his wrist, he effortlessly shattered it into pieces.
Simultaneously, he cast a sharp gaze at Liam and Slater, a clear warning of what would happen if they ever betrayed him.
Both Liam and Slater trembled at the sight, hurriedly voicing their allegiance.
“Ashton, don’t worry. I will follow your command only! I will do whatever you tell me to do,” Liam said, his tone deferential.
Slater quickly echoed, “Mr. Baldwin, you have my word. I’ll follow your orders. I swear, no matter what happens, I won’t breathe a word about you! And listen up, Axe Gang! If any of you dare leak anything, I won’t spare your families!”
Every story starts at gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s﹒𝒸оm
Terrified by Ashton’s display of strength, the members of the Axe Gang knew better than to defy him.
They all nodded in unanimous agreement, too fearful to say otherwise.
At that moment, a minibus pulled into the deserted parking lot.
Roger, having heard that his father was planning to take on Ashton, couldn’t contain his excitement. Despite the pain in his leg, he had ordered his men to bring him to the scene.
As Roger was helped out of the vehicle, his eyes fell upon Ashton, who was completely surrounded by his father and their subordinates.
Unaware of the true situation, Roger mistakenly believed that Ashton was about to be defeated.
Excitement coursed through him as he maneuvered his wheelchair, pushing through the crowd to reach Ashton. He shouted with glee, “Ashton! It’s too late for regrets now. I command you to kneel and apologize to me this instant!”
Ashton merely glanced at him, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his lips, but said nothing.
Roger’s arrogance and sudden appearance brought an instant hush to the crowd in the parking lot.
