Daryl gritted his teeth and growled, “Damn you, Fred Jenson! How could you throw me under the bus like that? Go
to hell!”
Before this, Daryl had clearly heard everything Fred had said from the other side of the door.
Fred’s face paled in fright. “Sir, I... I misspoke. Clyde Thisleton was the one who forced us to do it! You should go to
him and force him to accept the consequences.”
Clyde Thisleton is the head of the Thisleton family and the son of Ares!
He’s even more powerful than regular generals!
Only he can save me now!
Daryl’s eyes lit up.
How could I have forgotten about Clyde Thisleton?
He’ll definitely deliver us from this.
Daryl urgently continued, “I swear we only did all this because Clyde Thisleton told us to. If you want to find the
person responsible, he’s your man. If you’re unable to contact him, I can put you in touch.”
Zeke’s lip curled upwards slightly. “Let him go so he can contact him.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClyde Thisleton was arrested for ruining a military marriage long ago.
Hence, when Daryl dialed Clyde Thisleton’s number, it was to no avail.
No one picked up.
No matter how many times he tried, the other end of the call was never received.
Shit. What’s going on?
Daryl was baffled.
“Can’t get in touch with him? Why don’t I bring you to meet him?” Zeke said.
“Put him in with Clyde Thisleton.”
Instantly, Daryl and Fred were floored by Zeke’s response.
Put us in with Clyde Thisleton?
Is Clyde Thisleton locked up?
What the hell? Clyde Thisleton should hold as much power as a general, at least.
Who would dare to take a general in?
Unless it was a... Five-star general!
This guy actually holds that much power?
How could we have gotten on the wrong side of such a person?!
Without much time wasted, Daryl and Fred were led away.
Zeke then turned his attention to the remainder of the Daryl Chadley camp.
“I heard the lot of you are just money-grubbing burdens who don’t contribute any real work. Despite this, you’ve
been allowed to take significant cuts. I suggest you return all the money you’ve taken - in twice the amount. Or so
help me that your names will appear on the suspect list for white-collar crimes by tomorrow morning.”
The members of the Daryl Chadley camp hung their heads in silence, visibly resigned to the punishment they were
facing.
They knew they were dealing with a force to be reckoned with.
Aside from his military background, the fact that he was able to put the boss’s boss, Clyde Thisleton, in jail was
enough to scare the wits out of them.
After that, Zeke went on to address the original members of Linton Group, “I intend to reward you handsomely for
your steadfast loyalty to Linton Group. Without you, the company would not be still standing today. You are the
backbone of this place. Lacey, I want to distribute 5% of the company’s shares to them. What do you think?”
Lacey nodded in agreement. “I’d definitely have no problem with that.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe original employees were moved to tears.
5% of the shares was actually worth five billion.
To think he would gift us with five billion... Sir might be too generous for his own good.
“Thank you, Sir. You’re too kind. Rest assured. We promise to work even harder to prove to you that you placed
your trust in the right people.”
“Look, the price of our shares has skyrocketed. Our 5% is now worth ten billion.”
“Alright then, everyone back to work. Work harder, and you might earn double the reward.”
The crowd scattered instantly, and the office bustled as work resumed.
Lacey jumped into the fray as well.
However, Dawn Castaneda and Nancy Hinton stayed put. Both were silent.
Dawn pulled back Zeke’s sleeve to get a look at his arm.
It was peppered with wounds, the scars so tangled they formed a gruesome web.
“I knew it.” Dawn gasped as her hand clapped over her mouth.
“You’ve really suffered these past three years, Zeke.”
