I am the ruler of all novel (Kingsley)

Chapter 69

The construction of the Nicholson Family Cemetery was massive, and Kingsley himself was willing to spend money. Hence, the required materials and construction standards were above the industry standard. After completing this order, the profit obtained could be said to be an astronomical figure! With such a great deal, how could Codrington Construction be willing to hand it over to others?

If they couldn’t get this contract, they would never allow other companies to take it either!

After listening to Stephen's words, Leroy frowned and said, "What do you mean? With so many construction companies in Cleapolis, can you all monopolize all contracts?"

He knew that Codrington Construction was powerful; otherwise, he would not choose to cooperate with them. But what he didn't expect was that this company would be such a bully!

Stephen leaned forward to put his arms on the table, then crossed his fingers and stared at Leroy nastily. "I'm afraid you still don't know which family Codrington Construction belongs to, right?"

"W-Which one?"

"The Lawson Family in Cleapolis!" The volume of Stephen's voice suddenly increased. "Would anyone dare to fight for business with the Lawson Family?"

Hearing that, Leroy suddenly turned pale. The Lawson Family was on close terms with both legal and illegal avenues, and they had made a fortune walking on the knife edge. They also had very close relationships with all the bigwigs in the city.

In fact, their reputation was so great that even a poor kid from the mountain village like him had heard

of them!

If Codrington Construction really belonged to the Lawson Family, then no one would dare to take over the project of Nicholson Family Cemetery!

Leroy wanted nothing more than to slap himself hard. Of all companies, how could he choose to work with the company of this family?

He looked back at Kingsley in fear, for fear that the other party would blame him. However, Kingsley patted him on the shoulder and saying comforting, "It doesn't matter. Codrington Construction is well known. If it were me, I would definitely choose them too."

After saying this, he cast his cold eyes on Stephen, then said lightly, "Are you the one who set the rule of tripling the price before signing the contract?"

Stephen glanced at him. "I'm talking to your manager; you’re in no position to interrupt!"

He regarded Kingsley as an employee under Leroy.

Though Kingsley gave a warm smile, his eyes were icy. "I’m just asking you who set this rule!"

Stephen was a little intimidated when he saw Kingsley's gaze, so he subconsciously replied, "I-It was set by Young Master Lawson, the vice-chairman of our company."

"Young Master Lawson? Is it Peter Lawson?"

Stephen looked surprised. "Do you know him?"

"We briefly met once."

"Pfft!" Stephen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Kingsley's words. "There are so many people who have met him. Don't think about getting involved with him for connections, you little brat!"

Kingsley said coldly, "I'll give you two choices now. One, sign the original contract immediately and start with the construction, or two, give up and let another company take over!"

"I’m not going to f*cking choose!"

Stephen waved his hand and added brashly, "If you have what it takes, just try and see who the f*ck dares to take over! Even if there are people who dare to sign a contract with you, I won't let you construct the cemetery smoothly! You haven't heard of the power and influence of the Lawson Family, have you? My friend, you can buy peace and prosperity for just three times as much money. It's a good deal!"

Seeing Stephen's arrogant appearance, Leroy clenched his fists hard. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "You are taking advantage of this deal! You’re asking for too much!"

"That's right. I am indeed. So what?" Stephen lit a cigarette and spat out a mouthful of smoke at Leroy's face. "You’re going to bury your boss’ father in the Nicholson Family Cemetery, right? I can tell you straight away that if you don't sign a contract with Codrington Construction, believe it or not, even if the cemetery is built, he won't be able to find peace in his afterlife!"

"You!" Leroy was so angry that the veins on his forehead nearly burst, and he wanted to tear Stephen's

arrogant face to pieces.

"Repeat what you just said." Kingsley looked at Stephen with an icy expression, and his voice was as cold as frost.

"What if I do?" Stephen pursed his lips. "If you don't let us make money from this, I can guarantee that even if the dead man's bones are buried in the ground, we will dig it out for you again!"

His voice just fell when Kingsley slammed his fist on the table with a bang. "I'm afraid that even if you get the money, you won’t be able to live to spend it!"

Stephen was stunned by him for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Hahahaha... I have been in this business for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered someone who dares to threaten me!"

After some raucous laughter, he suddenly stopped smiling, waved his hand behind him, and shouted loudly, "You guys, show these two boys what we can offer them!"

Previously, there were people who were unwilling to change the price on the contract, but under his threat of violence, all of them accepted their fates in the end.

Therefore, this time he was also doing the same. He thought that after both Kingsley and Leroy were beaten up, they would definitely sign the contract obediently.

Hearing Stephen's order, the men in black suits all stepped forward.

On the other hand, Leroy turned pale and said to Kingsley, "You go first! I'll deal with them!"

It’s just getting beaten up! I believe I can handle it!

Kingsley looked at Stephen indifferently. "I will give you one last chance."

"Chance? You're still pretending to be a goddmn hero? Guys! Hit him with all you have!"

Stephen didn't bother to waste any more breath and simply just waved his hand to order his subordinates to beat them up.

In the next moment, the young men immediately rushed forward ferociously without a word.

Leroy's eyes were spitting fire, and he clenched his fists tightly, ready to fight, while Stephen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke while looking victorious.

Just at this moment, Kingsley supported the table with one hand and jumped up, and in the next instant, he landed on his feet lightly beside Stephen.

At that, Stephen's eyelids twitched, and his hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

All of a sudden, the hairs all over his body stood up as he froze on the spot when he felt a muzzle against his temples.

"If you don't want your head to blow open, you'd better be straight with me!"
