Chapter 240
One step, two steps, three steps. Traces of deadly air rushed forward like an invisible arrow and pierced the hearts of the store
merchants.
While their energy was being hindered, the store merchants felt like their breathing was cut off. Their minds went blank, and they
couldn’t help but stumble backward.
Not long after, the figure of Richard appeared. He had fallen on the ground and fresh blood was flowing out of his nose
incessantly.
“Mr. Ramirez,” Jacob cried out shrilly before reaching his hand out to pull Richard up.
Jacob stared coldly at the frightened store merchants who suddenly did not know how to react before making his way to the car
with his father and Richard.
Click. The car doors shut, and Franklin could finally calm down.
“Boss, the instigator behind the scenes wasn’t at the scene.” Jerry, who was in the driver’s seat, looked away and shook his
head.
“I understand.” Jacob nodded without saying anymore. He scratched at his brows and said, “Drive.”
When they got back to the Pavillion, they formed a line as they headed up from the parking lot.
In the elevator, Jacob said to Richard, “Mr. Ramirez, you were wronged today. I’ll get my people to check on it later. Stay at the
hotel and rest for these two days.”
“I wasn’t injured much. I don’t need to rest!” Richard waved his hand.
Franklin, who was at one side, said, “Don’t be so courteous. Just rest when you’re told to. Furthermore, the Tower is sealed shut,
so you don’t have anything else to do.”
“Yes, the Tower has been sealed shut...” A trace of sadness appeared on Richard’s face.
Seeing his reaction, Franklin couldn’t help but sigh. “Ah, just treat it as a holiday.”
“Dad, Mr. Ramirez, don’t worry. I’ll get whoever instructed Oriental Tower to be shut down to personally unseal it by tomorrow at
the latest.” A terrifying look flickered across Jacob’s eyes.
After settling his dad and Mr. Ramirez, who were feeling a little down, Jacob led Jerry and Ocho back to Suite No. 2.
Once they were in the room, Jerry hung his head and reflected, “Boss, I’m sorry. I didn’t arrange security well, and it endangered
Mr. Lynch.”
Jacob shook his head. “Manpower is tight these two days. I was the one who instructed the reduction of security. It has nothing
to do with you.”
“I’ll send someone to take care of the hidden hand behind the scenes right away!” Raising his head, the killing intent in Jerry’s
eyes was intense.
There was frost at the tip of Jacob’s brows. In a quiet voice, he said, “It’s alright. Let him live for another day.”
He wanted to settle his daughter’s affairs before taking revenge on Jaylen for what happened back then, but since Jaylen
couldn’t wait...
Jacob would help Jaylen achieve that by taking care of the Meteorites tonight!
A menacing look flashed across his eyes. Jacob turned to look at Ocho. “Inform Tres and tell him to arrange for Dragon
Guardians to go to Moira’s company and hospital. You can’t overestimate the limits of certain people.”
“Yes, sir.” Ocho said respectfully while bowing. “I’ll be going now.”
“Boss, after tonight, I want the whole of Paramount to be submerged in the fear of Shadow Squad!” Jerry tightened his fists. His
eyes were vicious.
“Let’s talk after tonight.” Jacob sat on the couch and his eyes were slightly narrowed. “Notify me in three hours.”
“Alright, boss. I’ll be leaving now.” Jerry nodded then turned to leave.
At the same time, at the Logistics Department of the West District Office, Jaylen was moving into a big and expansive office. He
put down his cell phone with a dark expression. “It failed? Hmph, luck is on your side! But it’s alright, I have plenty of time. I can
slowly play with you!”
